The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Another cold and dreary day. I am really looking forward to getting out of here and hope DH's physical goes well on the 16th and we can finally hit the road.

Good morning - I'm grumpy because our promised funds have not come in, and we're going to have our utility company drop us and switch us to another one that costs more $$ per month, and they would put a "limiter" on us Damn, damn, damn.....
With my upcoming surgery, I want to have everything sorted........ Crossing Fingers!

Thank you, Ginny - yes, Bureaucracy IS annoying. It took the gov't a month to send us what we needed, for forms, but then they sent the wrong stuff. It was stuff we couldn't use because it was 2015 actual info and we needed 2016 estimated income, based on what they pay us for pensions. If we were making what we did, in 2015, we wouldn't need the help we Do need. Shrug! Sighing!

We probably weren't counted on the US 2010 census because they sent the forms, but there was an error printed right on it. I called the only number I could find for the census, and was told they'd send us the right forms with correct info. It never came. Recently, we got notice of a special census and we managed to do that over the phone. Bureaucracy is usually at its worst form with any government agency, just like the VA facilities in the US.

That's a lot better than coons that want to steal catfood! And I haven't seen the large dog that was knocking over and raiding the garbage cans in this area for a while. Hope I don't see that one ever again!
