Yes, I popped in for a moment to perve pics and view status.

Things might be slowing down here a bit. I will cross my fingers. As soon as life slows down, I will be back to NN. Right now I am fending off curve balls and fast balls.


Speaking of baseball. GO DODGERS!

I tried to insert a picture in my blog. Guess what? I forgot how. They say when you forget something you had been doing for years, it will come back to you like riding a bike.

They were wrong! And who are they? Who are these mystical creatures that say shit like that?

The only thing that comes back to you like riding a bike is sex, roller skating, driving a car and hey.....riding a bike. Technical stuff not so much.

Oh, I suppose I will figure it out in due time. Sure, the blog shows how to insert the little brackets, but did the NN procedures change on how to take the photo out of your personal NN messages? Anyone want to fill me in?

If NN were a bike, I would have already been on the damn thing. But NN isn't a bike.

Oh, btw, Hi!

As I eat with others (home or out), it's disgusting to watch or hear them blow their nose. Please do it in the bathroom or in another room.

Got a Pet Peeve?

And by the way, why is it called a "Pet Peeve"? Anyone know the origin of this?

Hi!

I guess you are wondering why I'm here? Well, Mr. NN sent me an email reminding me that I have been gone for a long time. He also reminded me that my NNudles would disappear if I didn't log in. How dare he threaten me like that!..........(sarcasm) Who does he think he is?......the owner of the site?.....the NNerve! (more sarcasm for those who think I'm serious)

Anyhoo, I only logged in to save the NNudles..........sort of.

Ok, ok, it was also to put up this blog and say "Hi!"

Alright, I said hello and saved my NNudles.

My work here is complete.............lol.

xoxoxoxoxo

Oh, I forgot....... How in the hell are all of you doing?

Howdy! I am alive. Things have been moving rapidly in life.
Work..........good......moving along and was blessed with a promotion.
The kids are great.......life is good with them as well.
Love life?..........um...........work keeps me from that.....lol
Health.........stellar!
Sex life?.............well........my hands and fingers are happy and well worked...xo
Travel?.........my quest to finish my Pops Bucket list is almost finished. I have had so much fun finishing it for him and taking his memory along.
Deployments and details keep me busy. I have been assisting with Hurricane Harvey and now we are heading over to prepare for Irma. I have tonight off and since NN sent me an email to log in or lose Nudles, I chose to log in.

Our flight to the Command Center for Irma takes off late Friday. I'll log in when I get back. I am off to have a long bath and a glass of wine. It will be about 70 days since that will happen again.

I hope everone is well, safe and kept out of harms way from all of the hurricanes.

Nice to see all of you again. Hugs and Kisses.

I'm still alive!

Some may think this is a bad thing...........lol. Sorry to disappoint you.

My sons think that it's a good thing.

There is more, but hey, just being alive should satisfy the update for now.

Life is good people. I don't care what others tell you. If you wake up, can see the ceiling or the person next to you, put your two feet, even one foot will do, on the floor, your life is good.

How in the hell are all of you? Get me caught up!

Behind closed doors discussions were held about my dedication to Military Veterans. I had no clue this was going on. But today I was informed of the quiet decision. I was asked to spend 2 days a week traveling to other departments in order to speak to officers who are Iraqi War Veterans.

I am not a psychologist, psychoanalyst or a psychiatrist. At times, the Vets don't want that stigma placed on them when they do seek assistance. At times, what they want is just an ear and someone removed from the testosterone element of seeking assistance.

Since 2010 I have studied and have been trained on a side element of my job. Suicide Prevention and Intervention. I am proud of this volunteer work. It means a great deal to me. At first it was to just help the public. Who knew that I would fall directly into the military side of this training. Fate had taken me there. I have been around the military all of my life. All of the men in my family are in the military, so are my friends.

It was an honor to be asked back in 2010 and today, it is still an honor.

I will accept this new responsibility and do my very best to spread the word of just how much our Veterans need all of the help they can get.

I haven't even asked where I will travel or how far. It really doesn't matter anyway. I will go where they send me.

Since voting in my first election after I turned 18 years of age, I have been called a Republican, Democrat and Independent. Along with those party affiliate names, comes a plethora or insulting terms when referring to the parties. We all know what they are.

I usually remind those who assume they know my party affiliation by informing them that I am an American. I do not and will not pigeon hole myself into thinking one way and for one party. After all, I have many traits that prove I find one party to be fair in thought process and then can be agreeable to the other party.

In this woman's humble opinion, I don't think it's wise to think one way in party affiliation. If our leaders didn't think one way, maybe Congress and the Supreme Court wouldn't be so messed up.

I am full on American and with that it means that I can vote the way I want. I will vote for the person who gets to me. I will vote for the candidate(s) who have agendas and policies that don't scare the shit out of me.

My voting preference differs each time there is an election and I like myself this way. Since my first presidential election, I have voted for Republicans, Democrats and Independents. I'm proud to think that not one party is better than the others. I am proud to look at the person and not the affiliation. No one is innocent in either party, but during a presidential election, one will always be better than the next, no matter what their affiliation is.

There is one issue and one issue only that sways my vote. And that is the right of the woman to choose. Not all Republicans are against this and some democrats are. But in the long run, I will choose the candidate who will not take control of my body or think they can tell me what to do with my body.

As stated above, I am not a Republican, Democrat or Independent.
I am an American and with that comes my right to choose which party I find to be fitting for the job by what they convey in their policies, not by how I registered.

I firmly believe that when our politicians stop thinking in the context of political party and start thinking in the context of the American citizens, our world will be much better off and things can be accomplished for us all.

Vote by my heart, not by my affiliation. I will use this method each election time.

That is me to a tee! Who says that I have to be serious on the job all of the time. I make it a point of being absolutely comical everyday. Hell, I demand it....lol.

As we drove around, we noticed that every song that played on the radio was awesome! You know those days? When the planets are all in alignment and each song is better than the next. Well of course we took advantage of the luck and had a blast. We did what came naturally to us...........being goofy and enjoying the beat.



Dance when you can! That is the key to a good day.

Just to remind everyone....

Lenny is my Honduran Curly Haired Tarantula. I think she ate a bad worm. She is sick. If it comes down to it, I won't be giving her mouth to fangs resuscitation. The Pet Vet said if she doesn't pick up her mood in the next 48 hours, she might not live too much longer.

She is a living breathing and feeling arachnid that enjoys crawling about on my arm and through the room I keep her in.

My fingers are crossed that she perks up again.
