Becky's Log
Hi, I'm Becky. Welcome to my Blog.
I'm just a little ol' country girl from Michigan.
I have 2 sons (Robert and Dustin), 2 daughters (Renee and Jennifer), a mom (GMa), a brother (Paul) and a wonderful boyfriend (Jim) who drags me all over the country.
We live in Las Vegas, but we're staying in Louisville, Kentucky these days. Jim's on a another mission.
So watch your mouth. Be nice. Remember, "You can't eat your cake and lay in it too".
And unlike little bo peep, don't eat all your sheep. haha. AND....enter something in my blog!
Visit my site http://www.lvdarlings.com some time. Thats where I bought this outfit.

 Jim  To County Records we go!
We should be getting sworn in, to be Notaries today.
BQuik Notary still sounds good to me.
I need to find out (or just remember) how to file a DBA again. I've got notes somewhere around here.
- I need a DBA
- I think I need another EIN
- I don't think I can use Cutlar Enterprises...that would be too easy
- I think I need another business license.
The question here is, what type...sole proprietorship, partnership, S-Corp, C-Corp
- I need a Nevada State Taxation ID.
I noticed today that you don't really need to prove you have a business license to get a Yellow Page ad.
It sure would be tempting not to do the DBA stuff.
It looks like, to do a DBA, you need a business license/name. To get a business license/name, you need a Nevada Tax ID. To get a Nevada Tax ID, you need a business name...and therein, lies the loop. All this is so you can get a DBA checking account, so you can cash checks to my-company-name.  Somewhere in there, you need a EIN.
Sheesh...it sounds like a lot of running around.

 Jim  We got a bite on the condo after 3 hours!!!
I really didn't expect that. Sonny's friends, Rich Minsner (the landscaper), Robert, and several other people said $950 would be too much. Even two property management companies said that. SOOOOoooooo...
Anyway, I hope it rents. The couple seems nice, and I'll be more than willing to work with anyone that moves in.

 Jim  Leaves falling
Hey there sweetie
The leaves aren't falling for us yet.
The suns shining and it'll be 110 degrees outside tommorrow.
Wouldn't it be nice to sit in a backyard somewhere in the woods
Just watching the leaves fall, and squirrels running around. :)

 Jim  Well I’ll be diggy dogged...I’m well!
I was on my death bed last night. I did some Echinacea, because, well, why not?
I did some in April, and I seemed to clear up.
I did some last night, and I seem to be cleared up.
I don't get it.
My sniffles and snore throat are gone. I have a little bit of a cough, but its 1/10th of what I had yesterday.
My experiment is this...
Becky has been sneezing, just like me, for 3 days now...all red nosed. I gave her some echinacea this morning.
The test will be how sh'es doing tonight.

 Jim  Becky, the Red Nosed Fun Dear
And me, On Dancer, the nostric rainydear. 
We're both snot slinging sick. I know, its all in our heads.
But I go to the stores and hear people gagging and sneezing so its not just me.
Nellis must be testing pepper bombs left over from the cold war!!! (snarf snarf).
At any rate, I feel like a cow pie, not that I could smell it.

 Jim  Another day and I’m still down for the count
Sonny's sneezing. Becky's sneezing. I'm sneezing and wheezing.
People everywhere are coughing and sneezing. Makes me think maybe its not black mold.
I still can't think straight, so, I'm not going to be doing much until whatever I have goes away.
Seeing a doctor was a move in the right direction. Lets see if I can steer it around some.
Erythromyicin, steroids, and Albuterol. I wonder one is messing with my head. hmmm.

 Jim  Becky and I are watching the movie
We put it in for Dustin and Jennifer.
Dustin is playing an endless stream of games. Jennifer is drawing pictures with paint.
Its always seemed to work this way. The grownup watch the kids movies. The kids play games.
I jumped on Jennifer for complaining about a sandwich Becky made for her.
She said, "This egg salad has onions, I hate onions. Ewwe.".
I jumped in and told her that she was showing terrible manners.
When someone cooks for you, and serves you, you should never complain about their kindness.
I told her she should have learned this when she was much younger.
She apologized and ate the egg salad sandwich.

 Jim  I backed out of the Big Bear trip
Sonny backed out. He said because his daughter ran away, but she lives with her mom.
My breathing is currently a disability. I didn't sleep much. I wouldn't be much help setting up camp.
All in all, the trip wasn't going to turn out to be much fun, especially for me.
We'll reschedule if and when my lungs clear up.

 Jim  We’re going camping for 2 nights at Big Bear
Our site will be in he mountains next to the lake. It costs $15 a night with water, very basic bathrooms. Its a couple of miles from Big Bear City (eg: McDonalds).
I asked Dustin what he was bringing.
He said, "4 pairs of clothes, 4 pairs of pajamas, 4 pairs of underwear, and a nightlight.".
I told him we're only staying two nights, so, why 4 pairs of clothes, underwear and pajamas.
He said one for today, and one for when we get back.
Dustin said he brought the night light, so I wouldn't need a lantern.
I asked him if it plugs into the wall. He said "yes".
I told him we'll be in tents. He said..."oh"...
I'm still trying to get over him bringing pajamas.
Dustin brought this really nice cross country backback.
I asked him where he got it.
He said from his Boy Scout leaders, but they're not leaders anymore because they're lazy.
I asked him who actually gave it to him. He said, "Well, my friend Sebastion did".
Then I asked, "So your going to have to give it back to him?".
He said "No. I accidentally left it over at his house, so he gave it back to me".
So I asked him, "So, where did you actually first get it?".
He said, "In a warehouse that was full of stuff. The Boy Scout leaders gave it to him, then they got fired".
I may never know where Dustin got his $300 backpack from.
Dustin and Jennifer stayed over.
Dustin was actually pretty good, and Jennifer, as always, was great!

 Jim  Went to Renee’s Hope Chest party
Several people came by. GMa really did a great job with the decorations.
My breathing was terrible and GMa was very accomodating.
She put me on a nebulizer, then beat my back to break up the flim.
She was absolutely wonderful.

 Jim  Sonny’s backing out of the Big Bear trip.
I kind of thought he would. He gets off at 7am on Monday morning and he's usually beat.
I told him he could sleep in the back of the truck during the 3 hour trip.
But ya know, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep. I don't blame him for ditching the trip.
However, it is sad that for him, this will be just another weekend gone by.
Most people only get 4,000 weekends during their life time.
For us, it will be a weekend that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

 Jim  Helped Robert. Chatted with several people.
Took Robert to the dentist. It was the same dentist who said if Robert had his abscessed tooth pulled, all the teeth in front of it would lean backwards. The tooth above it would eventually loosen.
I know this is a lie.
My teeth aren't leaning. The teeth above my pulled teeth are still there.
I'm 50 and still have most of my teeth.
I know this is the truth.
Robert's dentist wouldn't help him until he openned a checking account.
She took money for the office visit.
She wanted $2,500 for a root canal on one of his back teeth.
Her motive seems obvious. Screw Robert and his financial situation. She told canned stories to make money.
Becky, Robert, Chrissy, Ida, and myself joined in a group IM
It was cool! I really like messenger.

 Jim  What a difference a decent cigarette makes
I switched from Opals to Mistys when I went fo Florida and my asthma went away.
Mistys are higher quality than Opals.
I switched back to Opals after coming to Vegas and my asthma came back.
Now that I've pinned the cause and am smoking Mistys, my breathing has already improved.
Now, I know, I should quit.
But I've heard a lot of things said about smoking that can't be true.
Cancer, for instance. The only person to have died in my family from cancer, did not smoke.
Matter of fact, she's one of the few people in my family that didn't smoke.
My grandfather died at 93. All I know is what I see. What I've seen is not what I've heard. I make up my own mind.
People who don't smoke think smokers are disgusting addicts, but we smokers actually enjoy the habit.
I personally despise the oppression and propaganda from a country that promotes corn syrup, red meat, fried foods, alcohol, nitrates, food coloring and other consumables known to cause premature death.
This country promotes fuels that cause green house gases.
So, I smoke. Its the only rebellious thing I do.
I'm just happy I know whats causing my breathing difficulties, and it isn't Las Vegas.
So, I can stay here.

 Jim  I’m not worthy, oh great one
I pride my self on my ability to fix just about anything.
Well, I've messed up the diagnostic reasoning on myself.
Diagnosing any problem, should include the primary question: What changed?
I assumed the following:
- I was breathing poorly when I left Las Vegas
- It cleared up in Orlando
- I'm breathing poorly now.
- Hence, Vegas must be the problem.
I forgot a few variables.
- I barely drank in Orlando.
- We changed brands of cigarettes from Opal to Misty
My breathing problems began outside of Las Vegas, however, we switched to Opals in Laughlin.
My analysis of the problem is severly flawed.
I assumed have chronic bronchitis (fatal in 10 years), asthma, allergies to desert pollen and dust.
Stupid me, it could be the toxins in Opal cigarettes.
I know I should quit.
But I've been smoking since I was 15.
Why would it hit me like a ton of bricks, right after moving?
See, my logic has holes in it.

 Jim  Lightning strikes a propane facility in Vegas
The explosion went up 300 feet, and burned throughout the next day.
They said the lightning came from 10 miles away.
The storm had winds of 70 MPH, and nickel sized hail.
