11-21-2015 - Snowing...


Sitting here watching TV this morning (Vegas Rat Rods), I look out the window and much to my surprise it's snowing!!! It's too warm for it to stay on the ground, but it's still cool, first snow of the season...



Update; was snowing harder so I grabbed the camera and went out in the 30 degree weather again to get these shots, hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Love the weather here.!!!

11-17-2015 - Tornado Warning

I went to West Plains today and had lunch with my son, we stopped by his home to drop off some food as I sat in the truck waiting for him my phone started making noise with a ring tone that I didn't recognize and a voice saying that there was a tornado warning for this area and I should take shelter immediately...it repeated the message again, I started looking around and the wind was barely blowing so I didn't worry too much... As we pulled out of the driveway and the wind really picked up, we got to my house safe and sound. Turned the TV on to a local station, watched the reports of where the worst the storm was, they said that because of the heavy rain it would be really hard to see the tornado if one formed...shortly after the tornado warning was cancelled. Thankful that we made it though safe and sound...

So I survived my first tornado! The sirens went off and I freaked out crying, grabed my dogs, blankets, water, my meds and of course a radio, i'm home sick for a week with a bad case of pneumonia, so going up and down the basement was a nightmare with this pneumonia, what a day! I hate pneumonia and tornado's!

11-7-2015 - Package Deal...


Shortly after I moved here I signed up with CenturyLink for Internet, Direct TV, and Home Phone... Was sold on the idea that it would be cheaper than getting the Internet and TV alone and I would get 3 months of the Premium Movie Channels and a year NFL Season Ticket for free…I cancelled the Movie Channels right away…
My bill has gone up pretty regularly since I've signed up. Then in August my bill went up another $43 dollars. So I called CenturyLink and spent too much of time finding out that Direct TV was charging me for NFL Season Ticket, which I didn't order, apparently they applied Auto Renew to my account. I waited on hold while the customer rep. from CenturyLink called Direct TV and at my request cancelled NFL Season Ticket. After several months of being charged for it, October 9th I called Direct TV myself and was told that they had no record of CenturyLink calling them about my account, so I asked them to cancel NFL Season Ticket, more time waiting on the phone, finally was told that it had been cancelled and I would receive an email confirming the change to my account.
November 4th - Got my new bill and I'm still being charged... Starting to get pissed!!!
Called Direct TV again and was told that it was too late to cancel NFL... I don't want to write what I said next and to be honest don't remember exactly what I said but I was transferred to another rep. who got on the phone with another rep. and got NFL Season Ticket cancelled, this time I got a email confirmation. Was told that they would refund 2 months charge $84. We'll see...
Before we ended the call the lady asked if there was any thing else she could help me with, thankfully I thought to ask if NFL Season Ticket was going to show up on account again next year, I was told that it would be Auto Renewed, unless I asked for the Auto Renew to be turned off... You already know what I asked her to do.
November 7th, Got a call from Direct TV this afternoon, because I'm such a good customer they want to give me a free trial of the Premium Movie Channels and NFL Season Ticket...
I think I surprised the nice lady at the amount of rudeness. No I didn't sign up...

11-5-2015 - To West Plains in the rain...

My roommates needed some food and since neither one of them can drive I decided to go to West Plains this morning and get that chore out of the way.

It was drizzling this morning I thought not enough to get the umbrella being the car is only a few feet away…Was I WRONG! It was raining pretty hard in West Plains.

I hadn't eaten yet and as I was driving by Taco Bell and not having tried any of their breakfast menu I decided to give one of their Crunch Wraps a try, when it was my turn I ordered one and proceeded to drive up to the cashier.
The nice lady told me that today these are free, WHAT? … We are having a Breakfast Promotion and the Crunch Wraps are Free today only… Well Thank You Very Much. Nice Way to start my day.

After get the dog food I decided to pickup some groceries and dog treats at Wally World, This Is when I got really wet, oh well I'll dry out.

Found some seasonal treats for me too…

Just got home from the 37, went to work on clearing trail and checked the game cameras...Dustin and I saw a flock of Turkeys He said that there was at least ten birds, I got there a little later but saw 5 or 6 myself, sadly no pictures...This is the third time time I've seen Turkey on the property. Cool cloudy day, loving fall...
