Keith Urban - You'll Think of Me (Best Live Performance).flv

He understands the human condition.... he feels every word of this song and I can relate and know the feelings he is singing about... love this guy!

Train - Calling All Angels.flv

Reaching Out to God...

Train.... When I Look to the Sky .flv

This is how I feel sometimes, when I am in need of a simple touch or feeling, on those days when life is simply too much for me to understand it alone without advice or support.... I look to the sky and sometimes... I am in the presence of those who have gone to their place in heaven ahead of me

I know I have been radio button surfing a lot lately and have drifted back to rock music a lot.. but I am still loyal to my favorite ..

The best entertainer in music in 2010 and all previous years since I first heard him singing "Somebody Like You"...

Keith Urban Live on CMT Music Awards performing .. Baby I'm In...

Train - Drops of jupiter video and lyrics.flv

This song makes very little sense.. they have a video that explains what is behind the lyrics.. but I don't care why whomever wrote it .. wrote it.. I love it just because of its very nature of not making any sense at all.. the only emotion this one pulls up is fun! I don't know about you all.. but I could use a whole barrel full of fun these days.. sure is a lot easier to make it to the next day to come if you can find the things in everyday that show you.. DO NOT TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY... it'll kill ya!

Train once again .. singing.. Drops of Jupiter

Train - Hey Soul Sister (Lyrics).flv

The time I spend behind the wheel of a car to do my job and the getting to work and then home again affords me a lot of premium radio listen time. I have become a picky listener, and after I listen to country for a couple of days straight... I have come to realize.. all stations have ten songs they like and they play them over and over again ... so.. I have rediscovered what I used to love about rock music. Some of the stuff is .. terrible. But a few have hit my eardrums that I love.. This one is so cute and catchy.. and since I do have the car to myself.. I let it loose right along with them..

Train.. singing.. Hey Soul Sister..

In the Air tonight LIVE- phil collins.flv

For a song that you can feel from your head to your toes.. nothing beats this one..

HippoPupLionSleepsTonight.flv

I LOVE this video! The dog is just.. well.. watch it and you'll see!

Its Too Late to apologize -(with lyric).flv

I gave up on rock music when it became rap music a few years back .. but I heard this one day over the speakers at a store when I was shopping and it stuck with me for days.. finally gave up and had to find out what it was and who sings it.. really surprised me when it turned out to be Justin Timberlake, who has now formed a new group called Timbaland singing with the group One Republic.. This is just a really good song which is applicable to my life right now, it is both artistic and haunting, do not be surprised if hours after you listen to it.. you find yourself singing it absentmindedly..

I think this is the only method of catching fish my son never thought of when he was younger.. This really brought me some super great memories.

MAY 16, 2010 FOR THE LOVE OF JACKSON

MAY 16, 2010
FOR THE LOVE OF JACKSON  

My West Highland Terrier, Jackson, developed a genetic problem with his liver and after a week in the hospital.. he was improving somewhat and I was to bring him home yesterday.
 When I got to the vet to pick him up.. he had lost all he had gained and we knew he just needed to be let go on to a place of no pain.
No comments this time my wonderful friends...
This blog is a tribute to my little fuzzy friend.
This is a sad thing and I am too brittle to be able to handle your love and sympathy, and I know you all do understand and love me... as I love each one of you.
  When I open the door to come in after work.. I miss him being on the back of the couch and so overjoyed with my appearance... it would take at least thirty minutes of me holding him and talking to him to get him to calm down.
He was just a sweet tempered little bitty dog, who meant so much to me...
I can't understand why...
Why I had to give him back to God.

He was my constant companion for over a year, and was my warm and loving friend while I have gone through one of the worst times in my life.
He was just a sweet loving little bitty dog... and he loved me and I loved him..
I can't understand it.. I can't figure out why.. why I couldn't have him here with me..  
Today I dig in the ground and give back to the earth, the body, of one of the best friends I have ever had.
 Rest in peace my sweet Jackson..
I miss you so very, very much...

For those who might wonder about me.. I am going to be offline for an extended amount of time. I do not know when I will be back, but I am sure I will return at some date.I have had another blow to my personal life and I can't seem to concentrate very well right now. But hopefully I will be alright soon. I can't seem to stop myself from setting up the scenario to let myself be hurt by people I trusted. And this time it is a really big one. Got a lot of soul searching to do, to find out what it is that makes me the way I am, open to anyone with a dart or a knife to the back, and they feel justified in doing it to me. I am doing something wrong.. and I need to find out what it is and fix it before I do anything else in the way of changes. And I will need all of my concentration to be able to get past this time of disability in the way of broken love and trust and the unveiling of the true persons whom I thought loved me in the form of family members, but are dishonest and lie to me for months and months. Love to you all.Lockerridge

Got this from one of my favorite fun sites this morning.. I LIKE IT!" I am true to myself and will only regret the chances I don't take to seek or follow my hearts desire. I turn away from or make a clean sweep of that which does not honor or sustain my passion and love, and in this, I am not afraid to be alone. I am empowered to move forward or make space and my gift is letting go. Never let 'em see you sweat, and don't make apologies for who you are just to feel valued by others."

RETURN OF
 HILLBILLY
 TECHNOLOGY INC.©
BROUGHT TO YOU
IN
LOCKIECOLORBLINDVISION©

 Howdy Shoutoutty to  all you people who have nothing better to do than come and read my words of variable degrees of stupidity, intelligence, and hillbilly humor brought to you in images.
It has been a while since I last wrote and told you all of the new job I have been so blessed with. The picture of the pretzel guy up there is a pretty good visual of what I feel like at the end of my four hours of being a courier for LabCorp. The route I have is only about 8 to 10 miles total in length, but it is driven in circles around and around the lab. I am fortunate that I do not have the long rural routes that some of the people who have been with the company a long time have. Rural areas have rural clinics.. which have the necessity to draw blood, and all that other stuff that is found in the human body, that needs tested to find the reason for an illness in a patient. So ... they must be picked up and in a time sensitive awareness that never leaves your brain, and taken back to the lab to begin the second portion of the work day as quickly and safely as possible.
Upon arrival... you get all your garb on and sit at the computer to double and triple check to assure correct sample with patient, this is called assention. This means that a sample maybe have as many as thirteen tests that need to be run on it and so it must be measured and then placed into the test tubes for transporting to the large lab in Dallas..
This requires many safety guards for myself as I am dealing with infectious materials some of the time, and must have the lab coat, the face guard, the gloves, and in some instances.. even more protective clothing must be worn.
Sounds kind of like I am out of my element huh?...
I am really not ... and it surprises me greatly!
I had never driven in Fayetteville, ever. All I knew how to get to for sure was my son's house and sometimes he had to run outside and flag me down so I wouldn't miss his driveway, on this really visually impaired by trees, hilltop on the going down point. I miss it every stinking time.. sigh..
So even though Jamie has not been employed there for a while now, he rode with me and showed me the ropes and introduced me to all the people in all the clinics as ... "Hi this is my Mom, she is taking over my route, so if you need anything just ask Mom, for the first week."
My nerves were so stretched out that I did not notice he had not told them my name was Terri also. I am having the devil of a time correcting the use of the term "Mom" as my name when I go in to pickup now. It was never my intentions when I was of child bearing years to have more than two.. at the most .. and now I have at least twenty people calling me "Mom". I am just going with it, what the heck, I have been called worse, and very recently as a fact.
My son is what is termed a "Hottie" by the female population under the age of 40, and in one instance.. this lady is my age at least and still drools.. To watch my son work a room of women is a thing of pure brilliance and beauty. He has them following him around, and I swear if they had a spoon, big enough, they would eat him up!
He has had this ability all of his life... and has always been able to get the females in a room to gravitate to him within a very few minutes of an arrival at a place he has never been before. All of the jobs he has landed with some really great companies, were all headed up in the HR department by .. women.. He is not a hound ... but he is not exactly a hamster either.. lol

I had better call it a night.. got work tomorrow... still trying to wrap my teeth around that word.. still kind of difficult to do.. but in closing.. I have to say this is the best job I have ever had in my life I think.. I am trusted to do my job, simply and that is worth a lot to me. Most of the jobs I have had are overseen by some grouchy and domineering supervisor. But we all work together to make it all come together, from the boss to my fellow workers. It is a share and share alike thing and you do not leave someone in a bind cause you just want to quit for the day.. There is no I in this team I do not think.. I hope I am not wrong!

April 11, 2010 NEW CONCEPT... HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN 2010... THIS REALLY WORKS!!!

April 11, 2010
NEW CONCEPT...
HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN 2010
THIS REALLY WORKS!!!

I have been reflecting on the use of Titles in our country lately.. you know.... those tags we hang onto people who fit into a certain category within the "Statistics" complied by some governmental study. ( By the way.. have you ever met anyone who works in this department in the government?
Me neither... hummm... think about that one for a minute..)

I have been in the category of the "Unemployed" for several years,,, and since my relationship status has changed, placing me into another category entitled "Widowed Single Middle Aged Female", when added to the earlier title of "unemployed", you end up looking like this poor creature..... Now for all of you whom are so sweet that you would disagree with me on that analysis of my own personality and hygiene failing, remember this one thing...
That would be called...
LYING SO BIG YOUR TONGUE WILL FORK!
I never seem to be able to get anything done. I have great goals in my head to accomplish, I really really do... somehow... I end up with things almost done... I call them workable projects, since they have been completed to the stage of actual use by me.. but never quite finishing them up....
Why is this you might ask?
Simply because I have all the time in the world to "finish" it. Tomorrow is always an option. Tomorrow is golden in color and sparkles in the sunshine for someone in my condition. It beckons me everyday to just not worry about it today, just do it tomorrow.
Well tomorrow has come for your ole pal Lockie. I had the failed attempt to move back in January and that set me back a little bit, showed me I am not cut out for big city life, and gave me a big case of the " do it tomorrows" syndrome.
BUT NO MORE! I have enrolled in a miraculous concept of how to get things done, and done right!
This is a tried and tested method to change your life! It has worked for literally thousands of "Unemployed Widowed Single Middle Aged Women and Men!"
And a wonderful side benefit from following this method is you can earn money for every minute your doing it!

.............It is called.......
"HAVING A JOB"
It has taken me two weeks to get to this point in the hiring process of starting my first day on the job on what other day would suit this occasion, but... of  course.... none other than... TOMORROW! I am going to work for LabCorp as a courier/representative. How did I get so fortunate as to have a chance at this job, which comes with a company car by the way for me to use as I need it.. and they pay all maintenance and the big one... all the gas too! Yeeehawww!
My beautiful son, as he was handing in his two week notice, he handed in my resume and volunteered to train me for no pay... now how about that for a kid paying for all that labor pain he caused me 26 years ago?
Somewhere in all those years that I figured I was creating the MVP of messed up, in need of deep therapy human beings... I must have done a few things right huh? The best thing about it ... is that I can drive back and forth everyday. It will be kind of a long trip.. but I can still live where I am at, LabCorp will furnish the vehicle and the gasoline for me to be able to make it possible, and if at a later date I want to move.. I can move the mobile home up to Fayetteville ( approx. 50 miles from home) and stay there during the week and come back here on the weekends and on vacation. Jamie thinks it is a fine idea.. and I decided either way it goes.. I am going to put the mobile home in his name and move it up there for him in the next couple of months. I told him this is what I wanted to do and he of course thought this was not only another fine idea... this idea was a STELLAR IDEA, but he is not pushing me to do it too soon.Homer doesn't think too highly of the idea of my moving away, but that is just one of the prices he has to pay for doing what he has done. I still don't have a clue what is in that man's mind.. but it is really nothing for me to worry about anymore. I just enjoy seeing him, and finally have been able to let it go to a great degree. I am still in love, but sometimes.. that is not enough to make something work out between a man and a woman..
So wish your bunny luck with learning all the new things I have to learn, and how to deal with Razorback Stadium game day traffic.... and hope all my samples smell like roses and honeysuckle!

April 4, 2010 CALLING ALL CONTACTS... I ONLY NEED FORTY-ONE MORE...

April 4, 2010
 CALLING ALL CONTACTS...  I ONLY NEED
 FORTY-ONE MORE...

Howdy! How goes it in the Land Of Oz for everyone?
 Lockie is doing okay, and is in need of a little bit of a booster. I now have 9,959 page views on this site.
 I have been over here for a long time it seems, and at 360 in the same amount of time I had almost 60,000.
 When they changed the inbox here at Multiply, it cut down on the amount of people who left daily comments and things of that personal nature greatly.
I did not like it then, and I still don't.
One of the best parts of being on a site like this is playing around with decorating your pages and if no one sees it.. what is the point? I complained to the Multiply powers that be about this change, but apparently.. I am just one more Bunny with a Bellyache..
 sigh......

  Anyway, I would love to hit that 10,000 mark and have been watching the number slowly increase for over 3 weeks now. Mostly I am getting people who have online stores here on Multiply dropping in to leave a spammer for me, but I do have a few folks who still do the rounds.
I have to say I am ashamed that I do not do more commenting myself.. but.. the fun kind of flew out of it when nobody knows you put one on their page if they do not have a guest book alert.
 I turned off mine because it filled up my inbox to max capacity from all the others on my contact list, being listed every time someone posted a comment to their pages...
 and yes I tried to filter it..
 but after a few attempts I just gave in and shut it off. I am getting lazy or this site has taken the fire from beneath my feet to find out why and how to do things. They are not real helpful if you know what I mean.. but that is another blog, on another day...

 today...

I NEED CLICKS! ...

Can ya help a bunny out? hummmm.......

WorldAirTraffic0-24h_xvid.flv

This is a simulation video of the amount of air traffic that flies in our earths skies on any given day. You can follow the movement of the earth by watching for the light colored areas where the sun is shining.

This is pretty amazing.. actually quite a testament to the ability of the air traffic controllers expertise to keep it all sorted out, which is proven by the almost non existent amount of crashes.

February 23, 2010 I'm a Winner!

        

February 23, 2010

I'm a Winner!

I actually Won something!
Look out World!
The Bunny is on a Roll!
Never mind what I won is something, that since looking at it.. I am not to sure what to do with it...
But it does not take away the....
I Won Something!
Factor!
I subscribe to a site called  1stWebDesigner, that is a wonderful source of all kinds of goodies, if your into web page designing. Which I suppose I am, actually I am more into doing graphics for web pages, rather than doing all the technical stuff that is involved, but... nevertheless...
I Won!
Yeeeehawwww!
They were giving away two tutorial books on the knowledge of using PHP type coding  for web page design for absolute beginners. I thought I fit into that category with ease,  so I left the required comment on their page, and they picked me!
It was  supposed to be chosen randomly, among those who submitted a comment, but they decided to give it to the two people who left the most well thought out and useful comments to the owners of the website..
 and yeah..
I was one of them!
Hard to believe I won a prize for criticizing something....
 But then again we are dealing with me here, and I suppose that it is not all that difficult to believe.. I always do things bass ackwards.
I still WON!
I downloaded the PDF, and when I got to looking into all I would have to do to just get my computer capable of using the code.. I would have to download Apache something or another and that is a file of around 6 GB's.!
 I have not even gotten the real hang of CSS yet, and they already have CSS2 and CSS3 out there for me to get up to speed on.. so if anyone would like to use this copy of PHP for Absolute Beginners.. give me the word and I will give you the password, and the url to get into the book. I am a sharer.. but just remember ..
 it is me that.....
WON!The website is located...
HERE
And the article that has the contest and my comment on it is located...
HERE
The fellas that are running the site make me feel so old, and so ignorant when it comes to all the things they know, that I am struggling to learn. I will never be as knowledgeable or retain the knowledge that they will be able to.. because.. I have at least 30 years of other stuff floating around in my memory than they do.
Meet the fellas....
