i'm sorry

life is strange, and exciting with it's twists and turns. you never can really tell what's going to happen next. i think that the key is to remain flexable, so you don't get bent out of shape!!
i am sorry though because i've not been keeping up on my blog here lately. bring you people into my intimate world has become a major reason for living. i simply love sharing my life with you. even though i've had some internet problems that has caused me to come to a screaching halt, there is another reason also. y'all ready,..........are you sure,................you might not believe this,................but,...................i've been having fun the last couple days!!!
my entire world has changed drastically. everything has once again turned over. i have new issues to write about, but i can't never forget what i've been through either!! these past ten weeks are memorable, but still i'm looking forward to new adventures and stories.
i reckon i'll be talking about my adventures with bubba for the next few stories, because he is an important part of my life again. we fell apart a few years ago, but always remained in touch with each other. bubba put all his focus on his career, and i had to let him go do what he needed. he changed a lot, but i'm glad that he is in the process of getting better.


i really hate to admit this, but then again a man does what he has to do for his own survival. being homeless is a 24/7 job, and with all the problems that come with it keeping your clothes clean is a major one. i didn't have but three shirts, one each pair of shorts and jeans, and a few underware. the way i kept them clean was not really all that good. i would just keep changing them out, and try to not get sweaty. this worked better than you might would realize, but it was nothing like the comforts of home.
when i got this house i still didn't have an washing machine, but i was determined to wash my clothes. i filled up a container with hot soapy water, and let them soak in there for a day. the next day i poured all the water off them, and it was like mud, so i rinsed them a little, and started the process over again.
me and bubba were talking about the way that i was doing laundry. then he suggested something that i had already thought about, but was imbarassed to admit to it.
he said, bubba ( he calls me bubba to) why don't you throw your clothes in the dishwasher? we both burst out in laughter. he went on to say the he saw Tim Taylor ( tool man) cook a whole salmon in his on tv once. i reckon if Tim the tool man Taylor can cook a salmon in his dishwasher, then i couldn't see why i couldn't wash my clothes in mine!!
the next thing i done was carefully layed the clothes on the racks, and made sure that none was poking through the grates. the last thing that i wanted was my clothes to catch on fire from the element. then i filled the detergent dispenser with the right detergent, because i didn't want any surprises. i set the machine to run, and it started filling up with water. once the machine was full of water it started washing. i opened the door for a quick look that nothing had fell through the racks, and restarted the dishwasher.
man,.....i was on my way. i just knew that i had dicovered a long lost secret that only a handfull of folks new about. i had this big ole' grin on my face, and went to do something else for a while.
it was a couple hours later and the machine was still washing. i open the door to check on them, and they still looked ok. i thought that this was a slow way to wash clothes, but if it worked was all i really cared about. another hour went by, and i had to check on then again. i pulled a couple out, and couldn't believe what i saw!!
let my try to explain this the only way i know how......ok?         you remember back in ancient times when people would use powder detergent to wash their clothes? do you remember what happened when you thought you were saving a buck, and bought the cheap kind?  do you remember what happened when you would just pour the cheap kind on your clothes, and the machine is about warn out?
yep,............that's right,................my clothes were all spotted with power detergent!! they were an absolute mess!!
i'm not finished yet.    do you like riddles?  will riddle me this one................how does a man washing his clothes in a dishwasher get powder residue all over his clothes when he uses a gel dish-washing liquid? just how in the blue blazes does that one work? i really need to know this!!
jeez louise!! i just knew there was a reason that everybody didn't wash clothes in a dishwasher. i guess that makes as much sense as filling up your washing machine with dirty dishes to clean them. hum,................no!!, no!! no!!,...........don't even think about that one now. i guess the dishes would get clean that way, but they probably would wind up in pieces!!
you know that when ever life gets way to complicated it's because were trying a new way of doing things when the old way worked just fine. sometimes a new, and different way is not always better. life is life, and the key factors that make it up are hard work, plenty of rest, and love. love for your Creator, and love for the people in your life. that's what makes life worth living!! nobody ever recalls their life at the end of it, and has anything to say about anything other than love. so i say this from the bottom of my heart to you.............................................much love!!
