I want a 1979 Mercedes 450 SL

convertible hardtop

buttercup yellow with fawn interior.

If you have one you don't want , please call me

and I'll pick it up this weekend .

* * * *

Would also consider

1966 or 1967 GTO

April Gold in color

U asked for it

Here we going with another annoying thing about this area..

We all know that from time to time we get requests for friends

whose children or grandchildren have a school geography

project that requires us to send postcards of the state we live in.

* * * *

I do not mind doing this, I think it is a great project for kids,

BUT and this is a BIG BUT--

(no you perv- not that kind of butt)

Today I went to the stores- yes plural, trying to find

picture postcards.

NO LUCK !!

* * * *

I went to 3 Wally Worlds, 2 Walgreens, a Dollar store,

Kroger and 3 gas stations..

Not one freaking picture post card .

W T F !!!

* * * *

So when Tom came home we went to a truck

stop out past the Maybelline Plant.

I walk up to a very crowded counter and ask

"do you sell postcards" and the cashier gave

me a dazed and confused look.

I must have looked like I was about to kill something,

because he says ,

Yes M'aam we do,

I know we stocked them yesterday ,

but I cannot remember where they are .

Needless to say , I found them and I bought 10 of them to keep on

hand for when the next school project that requires a post card.

* * * *

Now for the Real kicker,

Yesterday , I called a new beauty shop because they had a grand

openingspecial ,

pay for one hair cut get the second one free.

BONANZA--

We both need haircut.

So I called and asked how much to put low lights in my hair?

She informs me that she can do it for approx. $25.

Great !!! how long does it normally take to get this done?

(each hairdresser always need to do it in their own time- No Problem)

* * *

She tells me

I am quick at pulling the hair thru the cap.

! ! ! !

Whooooa - wait a min. Did you say

"pull it thru a cap"???

. . . .

I told her I have had scalp issues and cannot have my hair

pulled through a rubber cap with a steel crochet hook.

She then tells me , well I can foil it ,

but it will

cost $3.50 per foil

WTF-- who charges by the foil??

. . . . .

I ask- "do you do a heavy weave or light weaving"?

(meaning taking the rat tail comb and separating

the hair in a weaving fashion- so the color look

more natural)

She had NO IDEA what I was talking about ..

So that means when she is "foiling" my hair

she was going to be "CHUNKING" my hair.

WTF-- Nobody has done that since the '80s.

* * * *

Needless to say , I am still looking for a hair dresser that

can cut straight hair with precision and one that can also

color my hair and not charge by the foil.

* * * * *

And how has your week been so far???

March -- weather getting warmer

This is my birthday present from Tom.

Yes I know my birthday is not until the 28th but think about it,

WHERE could he hide it .

Fluffy, My GMC Yukon has 96,747 miles on her..

It is time to start planning her

100,000 mile party

* * * * *

Invitations will be hard to come by since there are

only 3 seats remaining .

* * *

There will be hats , noise makers and

snacks.

* * * * *

If I received more requests than I have seats,

invitations will be decided by a lottery type drawing ,

conducted by Jack.

* * *

If you receive and invitation, you must be ready to jump in Fluffy,

and take a ride no matter when I call you.

New 4 wheeler

Hey, it 's me JACK

* * * *

Look what Maa & Pa got for us to use
at the farm
* * * * *



This is me on our Arctic Cat 650 TRV
Cool , huh ???

* * * * *
Pa had the store guys put a winch on the

front , just in case we ever get stuck ,and he had them

put a rack on the back so we can carry a cooler too.

Since we were so close to Oklahoma City , we decided to

go visit the Murrah Memorial.

It was very cold and windy, so we did not stay long .

Across the street is an old Catholic Church with a statue

"Jesus Wept"

* * * * * * * * * *

As you are approaching the memorial, there are 2 chain link fences

with memories and memorials

OFFICIAL

I went to the doctor yesterday

( yes that make THREE visits to the same doctor)

* * * *

The official ruling is

I AM A "FORMER DIABETIC" !!!!

^^^^

So that means the weight loss is working.

It also means less $$$ spent on meds.

ALSO

My bad cholesterol is down

and my good cholesterol is up

^^^^^^

I am not saying they are where they should be

but they are much better than they were 3 months ago.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

The BAD NEWS--- This week I have lost

only 1/2 pound..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
