What is the point?

I have looked back over my posts and noticed that again nobody comments on anything I have to say. I hate keeping a journal or a diary. I would make a terrible writing teacher. If I can type it, I am more likely to respond. I make comments on most of yours, but no one comments to me. I wonder why that is. I guess I could tell stories about my children, but they none of them would appreciate those stories. They would all like me to write about rememberences from my childhood, so maybe that would be something to do. I was going to post a grandchild's project on the internet, but she used names and I was told very pointedly by my daughter that you are not suppose to use name and everything should be in code. That may be why I don't do much texting, because I don't know that foreign language. I am pretty good at computer language and have talked to kids about using the correct language in computer class. I guess this is a lot of rambling, but just thought I would get it out there. Maybe someone will take pity on me and respond.

Barn Raising

My family thought I was a little nuts when I said we were having a barn raising.  They I guess couldn't see the comparison and could only think of the Amish in raising a barn.  However the building we are putting up is a little like a barn.  We had lots of help on Saturday and they didn't get very far.  I think the Amish probably had a better plan for raising a barn.  Of course, reading directions and following those directions would have been my first choice, but I am not a man and they seem to think reading the directions is for the weak.  In this case, it asked them to brace every other one and it probably would have been the smart move. When was the last time you remember a man reading the directions to do anything!!

Super Bowl Sunday and football

My husband has two obsessions: football and Dr. Who which I have lived without for the past year. The new Dr. Who isn't as bad as it was 30 years ago, but unless you stay with it you don't really get it. Now I like SciFi, but I don't the understand the English brand. I also know today is a big day in football for all football fans. I don't really get that either and I can't say that I missed it on Monday's this fall. I do know that it is much more fun when they watch it wtih someone, but I really think that is more for protecting the TV from changing than anything else. The grip and complain and insist on watching football, but 9 out 10 times you walk in and all the men are asleep. But heaven forbid you should quietly change the channel. They wake up 30 minutes later and act like it was seconds and say who changed the channel. It is to bad no one has come up with a way for you to watch two different shows on the same TV so everyone could be in the same room and hear and watch what they enjoy. Hey the song that has been on TV leading up to the Super Bowl didn't make sense and my husband informed me the song was about football and growing up playing it in the streets making you a man!!! I hate to tell him this but that isn't what does it.
