Grandma Ruthie

I am only on tumblr because my adult children are also and that is how I keep in touch with what is going on in their lives.  I also crochet and knit and sew.  If you ask nicely I can make you something for a small price.  Just ask.

Court records: Cocke County mayoral candidate is a convicted felon

History of illegal firearms sales, serious hunting violations and real estate fine

This is an article I found on Substack that raises and documents serious issues regarding Cocke County TN mayoral candidate Joe Shults. Wonder how many people are aware of his background.

So I haven't posted much on Tumblr, but I read lots of posts. I haven't really seen anyone talk about AI. I am retired, and I am on an AI kick ( I guess). I tried ChatGPT, but switched to Gemini because I use Google Chrome. Also, I don't want to pay for another app if I don't have to. So far it seems to work very well. I have asked all kinds of questions. I also use it to help me to create concise reports from other reports. And it will data mine a document and make a list of the data. I look forward to trying lots of different ways to chat with and learn from AI.

Oh the pain of owning (or caring for) a Green Cheek. I feel the pain.

Made a bag! by kimberriez

[grandmadeb]

I like this bag. I think I could make something like this without a pattern. But I probably won't right now. The colors and textures on this a very pleasing.

There is some truth in that.

This week is going to be busy. I volunteered to work at the primary election day tomorrow. I hope I make it through the whole day. Then I get my hair done Wednesday. Also my husband wants me to help take pictures when he interviews the new local axe house. I might get to try it out. It should be fun. Then the last two days of the week I can do my normal stuff.

Oh, and today I have to go to the store, plus work on the weekend police and sheriff reports for the paper.

Rav4 is still being fixed. I think I already said that we had to have it taken to the car dealership. They determined that a new fuse is needed in the fuse box that is located in the engine area. They were even able to get the car to start and keep running, BUT the lights wouldn't turn off when the car was turned off. So there is still something wrong. That's the reason for another fuse. So the car might be fixed by Tuesday.

UPDATE: We got the car back, BUT the heater and fan didn't work. So we had to take it back again to have that fixed. We might, we hope, get it back in working order tomorrow.

Saga of the Rav4 -

So we got the Rav 4 towed to the Toyota dealership that was closest to us. Now we wait and see if they can fix it or if is dead. Dead because of my idiocy apparently. I was suppose to know how to put the jumper cables on the car. Oh, well, I will take the blame. I don't mind. But hubby is being very nice and is also not blaming me. It is what it is. I hate that saying, but it is true in this case. More to come when we find out the determination on the car. Exciting isn't it?

I haven't weighed myself lately. I probably will today. This weather is just weird and horrible. I am used to snow, but dislike snow, ice, melting, cold below zero weather.

Spring can't come too soon. Then, walking. I need to finish grocery shopping. I only did a little yesterday. But Monday looks better; and the rest of the week. Well, I have to go get ready for a doctor appt. Hope they they open today, unless they call to cancel. But I have to take a package to the post office today also.

[grandmadeb]

I am pretty excited. Weight was 201.2 today. I hope it isn't up tomorrow. But it is my birthday tomorrow and my husband bought me a sweet treat to celebrate.

Losing weight, again

Well, I am trying to lose weight again. My previous doctor had me on some stupid medicine that did help me get down to 190, but as soon as I went off it, I ballooned back up to 200 and then finally to 205. But today I was 203.2. I am trying to pay attention to the food I eat and stuff. I want to get rid of Type II diabetes. Oh, why and how did I lose the 10 pounds before? Well, my doctor at the time decided that I needed to be Ozempic, so I took it for about 2 months. But I was getting to the point where I didn't want to eat at all. Which makes it hard for me to cook supper for hubby. I was starting to read about lawsuits and side effects of Ozempic, so I decided to change physicians and try to lose weight gradually my way. So if it helps anyone, I will post how I am doing on my "diet" and how I am doing the diet. Thanks for listening.
