Well I finally got the answer as to why the
food prices are and will be going up.
It's due to a grain shortage or fewer crops
that were grown in some country
due to I think weather or something to that affect.
Grains are used in foods and also
used as foods for animals like cows.
Monday on Fox28 they are doing a segment
on car repair shops and how they are
screwing you. They are taking a van in that
does not need brakes and are being told
that they do. I remember another news station
doing this and took a vehicle to a repair shop
for an oil change and they set up a hidden camera
which caught them breaking something
under the hood then telling them it needed repaired.
----------------------------------
9:05AM
I've decided to keep Christopher home
one more day from school.
He still has allot of nasal drainage
and hasn't slept well.
I called the school to let them know.
And do you know they've got some
foreign person answering the phones in the office.
They couldn't even understand what I was
trying to tell them. I had to speak slowly
for them to try and understand me.
At first I thought maybe I had dialed
the wrong number.
Boy there's a scary thought when people
answering the phones at the school
can barely speak English or understand you.

Anyone know how big these Sante Fe's are?
Looks small in photos.
Are they the size of an Explorer???
I mean do they sit up as high as an explorer?
I feel like every time I look at vehicles
I am unfamiliar with I have to cram for
a test to find all the reviews and facts on them.
I look up actual reviews from every day people,
crash tests, recalls, expenses for maintenance,
what is known to go wrong, what it is worth,
how long others have owned theirs
and the mileage people are putting on these
vehicles without any major problems.
Vehicles and homes are major expenses.
I think before buying any of them they should
let you test it out for about a week or so
to see if it is something you want.
But in this world you are put on the spot
to make decisions. Either you jump on something
right then and there or you risk the chance of
loosing it. Could be a good decision or later
on find out it was a bad one with something
you are stuck with.
-------------------------------------
10:50AM
Time to start lunch here soon.
And I would like to try and make
another one of my Pop Tart recipes.
I actually have two recipes I came up with
and want to make.
I made one the other day and it didn't
turn out quite like I wanted it to
so am revamping it and trying again.
Might do that this evening or weekend.
I'm still having pain with my toe.
I tried to call the doctor's office
and never got to talk to the receptionist.
I was on hold for about 10-15 minutes
on my cell phone at that because the
house phone was dead.
So I ended up hanging up.
I got a recipe/ coupon book
from Kroger in the mail today.
If anyone gets this and does not
want the $2.00 off $10 meat purchase
from their fresh meat department,
I could really use it!
If you notice that some of their coupons
say store coupon and some say
manufacture coupon.
To use at another store since it
does say manufacture coupon I would
just cut off the Kroger logo at the bottom.
Now Meijers will take the Kroger coupons
regardless.
----------------------------------------
4:00PM
Just called and got an appointment
for 6:00pm this eve to go see the Hyundai.
Can't wait to see how this will turn out, lol.
Usually not good, but every now and
then it's possible to find a needle in the
haystack. Don't know til you go look.
I finally got through to my doctor's office.
I got an appointment for next Tuesday
so they can look at my toe.
It'll be 2 weeks this Sunday since
I injured it and I am still limping
from pain.
.
----------------------------------
The Hyundai didn't work for us.
The motor ran real good and you
could barely hear it running.
But it needed a rear wheel bearing,
had an ABS light on along with
another light on, on the dash.
The dealer had a garage to repair cars.
He told me the bearing was only $100
to get fixed. Well if that was the case
then why didn't they fix it before selling
it and just mark up the vehicle another $100
to give people a little piece of mind
and to sell it quicker???
People are gonna run once
they hear that noise when going down the road.
You gotta put the clues together at
these car lots to know whether or not
your gonna get screwed.

Why is it when moms get sick that
no one else in the home can comprehend that?
They act as though mom's aren't supposed to get sick.
I could run full speed the rest of the year
so getting sick is like a vacation for me
to slow down and take it easy, extra nap times
and more lounging around.
Not the funnest time though with
feeling all the aches and pains but more rest.
This really sucks though as it's going
on 2 weeks. I'm thinking that if my toe
has had an infection the last two weeks
it could affect the rest of my body also.
So hoping doc puts me on some kind
of antibiotics or whatever so it can heal.
Think about it. If I am limping due to a sore
toe that would explain the hip pain I'm having
throwing everything off and out of balance.
Then I'm thinking extra aches and pains
and no energy could be the result of the infection.
I can't even wear a pair of regular shoes at
the moment. It causes too much pressure on my toe.
Been wearing socks with my slip on sandals
Oh did I tell you yesterday while in McDonalds
(mom's are allowed to cheat with supper
when they don't feel good)
that they were playing Christmas music
over their speakers.
We heard Joy to the World
and Nutcracker when there.
AHHHHHHH!!!
You know what is making this night,
weekend & next week even better.
Tony has on call again due to switching
days with another maintenance guy.
So he'll be on call from this Friday til next Friday.
After that he shouldn't have it again for 5 weeks!
And as I type he just left due to the pager going off.
Ok well going to pop some pills,
multi vitamin, vitamin C and vitamin D
and maybe head to bed soon
and watch tv.
Well I finally got the answer as to why the
food prices are and will be going up.

, drop 1 inch balls of dough into 
. Dip 
into flour (I just put a little flour in my 2 cup prep bowl and dip into that. Press down on the center of the ball and it should come up the sides forming a nice little cup. If ya get it wrong, all is not lost, you can re-roll it and try again, but homemade should never be perfect looking!
