Rusty Things

It's been awhile since I posted anything.
It's not like anyone is hanging on the edge of their seat waiting for me to post anything anyway. lol
I don't know why, but I have a thing for rusty things. I love em. I don't know why. I just love the look of old, rusty things.

Farm Town

This game on Facebook.
Yeah. I might be a little addicted to it.
I ceased playing all other games while I build my farm.
I'm on level 29 now. Working on getting to level 30 because I want a greenhouse.
What is so cool about this game is that you get to decorate your farm however you want.
If you look in the Farmtown Forum, you will find a couple threads where people show off their farms.
Some people have done amazing things with their farms. Amazing.
My gripe is that the higher up you get and the bigger your farm, the more buggy it seems to get.

Low Glycemic Index Foods

According to a new study from The Cochrane Collaboration, an independent health-research organization, people on diets that call for fiber-rich, complex-carb-loaded foods like lentils, sweet potatoes, and apples lost a little over two pounds more in five weeks, compared with people on low-fat or other types of diets. These foods rank low on the glycemic index (GI), which means they’re less likely to cause blood sugar spikes and leave you feeling hungry.

Beautious Day!

Beautiful spring weather this late afternoon/evening. One of the stops today was to Mudhole Bay. I think we need to go there more often. It's gorgeous there. The pelicans wer visiting this afternoon. They are turds. They never swim close enough to get decent pictures but as soon as you walk away, they move in. Grrr.

Slice of My Life...Do you want a piece?

Large appliances are not liking me lately.
Again with the stupid ice maker. It's time for a new one. I am just going to get the serial number off the side of my fridge and order one direct. I think it's a pretty easy fix. It's held in by two screws.
I hope I order the right part.

Tonight, the dryer made a horrible noise. To me, it just sounds like the belt came loose or broke. The drum makes a grinding sound.
Kent will take a look at it when he gets time.

I only had one load and didn't see any reason to take the car that is having transmission issue out for one load so I drug out the drying rack we have that we usually hang the wet winter outerwear on and the swimming stuff.
It holds quite a bit but I still needed more space. Ian helped me McGuiver the broom pole and a rope on the wide door frame between the living room and the dining room to hand my shirts and pants on hangers to dry. They won't be Downy soft, but at least I won't have to lug them to the laundry mat. I put the fan on them.
It is actually kinda soothing to me to hang clothes to dry the old fashioned way but I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis. My back and neck are killing me tonight too which didn't help any.
I don't like the way clothes feel dried that way. Stiff as a board.
I'm not going to panic or worry. The dryer will get fixed or replaced. I just hope it doesn't take too long. It won't take long for the laundry to back up.

Our dishwasher isn't running too great either. It's really time to replace it soon.
Seems like we need all the expensive sh*t all at once!
I'm trying to keep in mind that the good Lord always seems to provide.
There is a part of me that thinks it sucks though. We can't ever get ahead it seems.
It could be a lot worse though.
I'm grateful for what I do have. It's kind of irritating when the stuff breaks down though.

So what about you?
Does it seem as if everything breaks at once?

I was driving around in the country today and seen these three cats on the top of a car. I turned around and took some pics. When I got there, they were all evenly spaced but they moved a little after snapping a couple pics.
I thought it was hilarious. They must of been sunning.
Very cute.
