Two days before Christmas, took another fall today. Back to my walker. Could not get myself back up by using my cane. Oh well, had a feeling something was going on. Was headed out to get into my car made it as far as my bedroom door almost to the back door not quite, and took my spill on my ass. So of course I move around and try to lift myself up with my cane. No use not enough strength in my arms. So turned around and got on my knees crawled through a chair tried to lift myself up with the chair. No use still not enough strength. Could hear the rumors arguing over something then just decided would yell out for one of them and I remembered to have my cell phone in my shirt pocket, so called them told him to go outside and get Ricky that lives in the outside room because he’s stronger than the two in the house, including me. Had him come in took only probably 15 minutes and finally back on my feet went into my room got my walker out put my cane in the corner now I can’t carry nothing with me. Have to have everything carried in from now on again.
 Still trying to figure out how the dashboard on this new car even works. Bought a 2420 or a 2024 Volkswagen and they changed so many things around when I was just getting used to the 2018 Volkswagen. Tried using the smart phone to get some help But it seems like the 2024 has two different set ups and of course when I called the dealership they go by their handbook and says we can’t figure it out either. You have to bring the car in and then we assure you we can show you how to do it. Since I’m only 45 minutes away if I want anything to do, I guess that’s what I will do one day.
One of the gay boys mothers came over delivering Christmas gifts to them as well. Took them out for Christmas dinner today. One of my kids called me and says do you still want to go to the casino and I said depends on what you’re thinking of. Said me and my wife Can go on Christmas Day if you wanna go, I said if you have your own money because I don’t plan on spending that much. I just want to get out and settle right. He said that’ll be fine as long as he gets to drive the new car. I figured what the hell told him no but of course I probably will let him because I don’t like to drive anyway. Besides that wouldn’t hurt me to spend a little to help support the Indians, I suppose.
Still waiting on the trashcan that’s supposed to be delivered by sometime today that I signed up on Friday for. One of the realtor asked what are you gonna do about the trash and I said I’m not doing nothing about it whenever we get our barrel, then put the stuff in the barrel and then put it out to the road Monday night for Tuesday morning. If nothing comes by today then we’ll just have to wait till next week.
 McDonald’s running another so-called special I suppose Mc doubles or McChicken two for $1.39 or I should say three dollars. So I did order four McChicken‘s without lettuce for later on during the evening and tomorrow. Went to the cannon ball restaurant ordered myself a hamburger steak Plus Ricky a hamburger and fries. Why in the hell they put that tinfoil in the bottom of their plastic container is a nuisance, not to mention that the damn tinfoil gets scraped because of the fork. So pick it out tinfoil through the mashed potatoes and gravy and hamburger steak.. Guess that’s their way you’re saying eat in here and you get a real plate wanted to go then have fun. When I ordered it, I told him I did not want a single hamburger and paying a hamburger steak price for it like I did last time please make it either a quarter pounder or a third pounder. Well, I guess it came out to almost a quarter pounder probably was a quarter pounder until they melted all the ice out of the burger so it did come out to a little bit bigger than a quarter pound burger I suppose. Whoever the cookie is up there, they are lazy as hell or don’t know how to cook. This was my third attempt using cannonball and it’s my final one have to wait until Lucy‘s gets back into business meanwhile I have to just go downtown and order from a regular restaurant like Denny’s or the others but people in pea Ridge.
Then at my age, I complain about everything they can’t even toast damn bread put some butter on it and throw it on the grill and then take it back off don’t even brow the damn bread. Now that is getting damn lazy. Cost 27 something just gave him a $30 figure that’s enough of a tip. They wouldn’t even got that if they served that kind of crap to me in their restaurant which I’m sure they would not have.
 Looks as if Ukraine just won’t learn not to send missile into Russia. They couldn’t do it if it wasn’t for the USA being so damn stupid as for flying in Ukraine with the missiles in the first place able to reach Moscow. But they had a pretty fancy motel hotel Twin Tower like so I’m sure a few hundred people were killed than that. It’ll take a few days to find out for sure. But our clown helping the clown are Ukraine is doing the best they can to get the USA involved into a world war nuclear confrontation. People here in the United States seems to think we’re untouchable. Maybe they should remember 911, think about 911 that was done outside this country. America better start waking up because I have a very strange feeling that China and maybe even Russia are going to start sending missiles in our direction so we can understand what it’s like to go without power and water and even food for long periods of time.
What difference should it make to me after all I’m 78 years old lived longer than what I thought I would. Still have dreams and nightmares. I suppose I should be of those close to me. That have passed on and were murdered it. Can’t call Vietnam a war. It was nothing but a murder ring a poor people in which we had no business in the first place to being there just like in the middle east, we have no business of being in there whatsoever for any reason. But outside of that, I better stop this for short now it’s my longest one. I am switching the Facebook over to this one, and which one is this one? I have no idea. Seems like not too many people, but in time, I’m sure it will build up then I will switch again. In the meantime, those I believe in Christmas merry Christmas those believe in Hanukkah happy Hanukkah. All the other members of different face have a happy new year. Hopefully it will be a peaceful one.
