Tweaks on other things too...


Geez, I don’t twitter, but lately I seem to be tweaking a lot. Try hard to get our lives to move smoothly through the next few decades! An impossible dream that some may say…And I am definitely not a Don Quixote or even the female equivalent, “The Female Quixote; or, The Adventures of Arabella was a novel written by Charlotte Lennox imitating and parodying the ideas of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote.” Thanks to Wikipedia once again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Female_Quixote But I do like to try to solve problems; always did while in business and even at home for many years and so the behavior continues in these our so-called ‘Golden Years’, or in our case ‘bronze’? The situations change daily and so must we and that is either conform to those changes or change them back to a simpler time if at all doable. And you would be surprised how many actually are. That additional ten dollars on our CenturyLink bill is a fond memory once again and we have returned to our proper monthly billing by just requesting that it be removed, Dorothy an associate there took care of it … did you know that the lower monthly one was an introductory offer and that you must call yearly to request it again? CRAZY! But done. After that was done I thought that I should tell CenturyLink that we were also having problems still with our DSL, and after Rose another employee realized that we had called many times before she said they would send someone over here tomorrow to take care of the problem. Helen, tech, who was here before to give us our new modem came to see what was still causing our disconnects… and her determination was that we have corroded wires underground and on the pole and so within the next ten days or less, someone will be digging the lines up to fix the problem, we hope! We received our paperwork for the refinance today and it appears that we will actually be saving another $74 a month; giving us a new monthly payment of even less than we thought, hooray, that makes it, $148 less a month! Our tweaks never end and such is life… If we keep this up that is getting things more financially manageable, who knows what kind of money we will see for perhaps to replace our aging car; it will be twelve this August, but still with less than 39K original miles. Hubby’s smile will be done being paid for by August. We had had an eighteen month plan to do it in, but I decided to pay more without interest with GE CareCredit and took it down to just a year, but still no interest for eighteen months if we had done that either. So those monies might be available for our other needs; who knows, we really shouldn’t be counting our chickens before they hatch, should we?…Being superstitious is a bad thing, although, 2013 isn’t too bad so far, just more work tweaking thingies than ever before, but I suppose it keeps me busy and out of trouble, well not in too much trouble yet, anyway! On those tweaks… if one is on Twitter and that is called tweeting what is it when you tweak? Oh, I think I know, silly me… TWEAKING! On that bit of the absurd of a somewhat dotty mind, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!?

Which way will the war go?
