I made a change to the look of Howard’s Notebook. I make them all the time. I need help. I can not stop myself. Smile
I like dark colors as many of you know. Is it because deep down I am a dark person? I like warm earth tones.
I am not crazy about the masthead with the new TypePad theme that I am using. If you want to fire up PhotoShop or Paint Shop and make me a masthead feel free. My email address is: jhoward@hnbbs.net
I like the look and feel of this new theme. I am posting this on June 20th of 2008 and I may have a different theme by the time you read this post.
Jimmy, my son in CA, was expecting $1200.00 in rebates from the IRS. He only got $600.00 from the IRS. If you file a joint tax return with your wife you do not get $1200.00 you only get $600.00 because you filed a joint return. This was news to me and for my son and his wife.
My ex-wife, in Texas, has not got her tax refund yet. She must be one of the very last to get the refund. I think she will get $300 and she is going to be so happy if she gets the money. She is very poor and that is going to be a lot of money to her. She just got on food stamps a few months ago.
Russell, my grandson, is still in pain. He spent 9 hours in the ER last Sunday with abdominal pains. He had right lower quadrant pain. He still has pain. They did a Cat Scan on him.
My fear was that he had appendicitis. The appendix looked OK on the scan.
The ER doctor said the scan showed fluid in the abdominal area. He did not know what the fluid was or where it came from. He said Russell needed a doctor to work with him and that Russell may need a GI doctor and a full work up.
I am worrying about Russell. A 19 year old should not be having this sort of problem.
I am feeling better. The less I eat and the less I weigh the better I feel. I am eating a lot less and I am at 208 pounds right now. I have had an increase in chest pain but I think it is from stress and lack of sleep. (I played Civilization III the other night from 2100 hours until 0600 hours.)
Today is Friday and I am short of money so I may lose more weight. The only problem is that in six days I will get my money for the month and I will go to the store and get junk food and I will eat like a pig.
Next week I think I will try a pie diet. The cottage cheese diet did not work. I love cheese. I like cottage cheese. It did not work because cottage cheese goes right through me. I do not need to go into detail. I think you get the idea.
Last week I spent my last $8.00 for a pie. I had a slice each morning for a couple of days with a can of Coke and that was my breakfast. I did the same for dinner. The swelling in my feet went down. (The first time in weeks.)
