Annabelle

Oh this movie wasn't even worth the forty-five minute drive to the nearest theater. One sure thing you can expect about living in a small town, is that you will get your "driving time" in. We say the movie trailer for Annabelle and decided that it would be a perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. 

           First of all, that doll is just creepy. I think the intention should have been scary, but it was unsuccessful. There was a handful of people there watching this film. I walked away angered and disappointed. I like horror movies that make me jump and cringe. The hype that backed this movie was false advertisement and frankly, I was just upset that they didn't do a better job with this. My students had been talking about this movie and even excited about getting to see it. I can't wait to see their reactions. I wonder if they will feel the same way? 

          I will admit that it did have a good storyline and that I was fully engaged throughout the movie. However, I would also like to comment that creativity, as well as, time was lost on this production. I'm always surprised to see what "we" consider to be entertainment. Two people in the audience laughed during the movie several times. I would expect them to be scared and in suspense...   NOT laughing at the blonde's misjudgment of using the elevator vs. taking the steps. I just felt that the whole script and scenes were banal to the overall scheme of things. Too bad that we wasted our money and are now devoid of any real entertainment.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
