Got the baking done

I had to push myself but I managed to get two batches of fudge made up, and three double batches of cookies baked.  Not sure what happened to my snickerdoodles.  They taste okay and look all right (or is it "alright?") but for some reason they were so gooey and sticky, I could barely roll them in the cinnamon & sugar mixture.  It sure is a lot of work making cookies.  Not just the preparing of the dough, but the baking, cleaning of the cookie sheets, baking again, cleaning again, and then getting everything together in one spot for packaging later.

Tomorrow I'll make up the individual cookie tin presents. That's the fun part. At least I can sit down to do it. I've had such a difficult time walking and being on my feet this week that I suspect I'm out of whack again and should probably visit the chiropractor. There are times, however, when I wonder if that helps at all.  I'm sure it's arthritis some days and sciatica others. Whatever is going on, it's getting mighty wearisome.

I went over to the kids' school at 1 pm to visit the craft fair but I was so uncomfortable, I could barely walk.  I limped back to the car and dropped into the seat with a grunt and a moan.  I assume it's nerve related because I could wake up tomorrow and find myself walking like a normal person again.  I really shouldn't post on my blog when I'm feeling like this.  I realize nobody wants to read about my aches and pains. But hey! Somedays that's all I got!  Ha ha

Some good for nothing scumbag from hell hacked into my Facebook account and went to visit my friends.  Several people have noted they've been hacked as well. If it's that easy to do, I wonder why everybody isn't hacked all the time.  Apparently all they have to do is go to your page, gather what info you've put there and then open up a page declaring they're you!  They go to your friends asking to be confirmed as a friend and sometimes the friend thinks it's really you, wonders why you're asking to be confirmed a second time, but then says okay.  I don't really understand the reasoning behind that.  Is it just for amusement?  I can't imagine people getting money from stunts like that.  You'd think Facebook would have a better handle on it.

My daughter (on the phone) walked me through the various steps I needed to do  to fix my privacy settings.  We also fixed up some settings on my computer so I  feel safer.  I  wish I was a computer nerd and understood ALL the lingo of computer data so I could surf around and fix things myself and see what's going on underneath the mechanics of it all.  I imagine (even though I have a virus engine) that there is spyware flying under the radar somewhere but I don't know how to detect and get rid of it.

I have Avast virus protection but I don't know how good it is. Mainly because I had to talk to foreigners when it was being installed and that always sets me on edge.  I'd like to get rid of it and install something I feel really safe with but I don't know for sure how to go about that.  But enough on that subject. I'm getting a headache just discussing it.

I picked up this book at the library gift shop (only a dollar) and it looks like it's brand new.  It's a big volume called 'The world's greatest treasury of health secrets.'  Really a nice book full of a lot of information.  I was going to use it as a Xmas gift but I'm thinking maybe I should keep it and study it first.  Anyhow, I had it on the coffee table in the front room and Hunter picks it up to browse through. 

The middle of the book is a chapter on having a healthy sex life.  One paragraph in bold type that caught his eye was "Love and sex after 60."

"WHAT?!"  he squawks. "Nobody has sex after 60!"
"Sure they do. Sex is healthy"
"It is not!"

He turns the page and reads another heading "Better Sex, Better Sleep."
"WHAT?!"  What is this?  A sex book?  Porn?  You have porn here?"

I can't stop laughing and I try to explain it's a book on health and that's just one chapter.

He's so young.

Well, I'm off to the recliner. Looking forward to the Republican debate tonight. Hope I can stay awake.  Irritates me the way some news commentators present questions in such a way as to taint the candidate.  Hopefully, most people won't be influenced by media know-it-alls.  At least I'm guaranteed an entertaining night as I yell at the TV.

Was surfing around and found a video I've probably posted before but I like Iris Dement's voice.
