Vergie6's Blog

I had these links in my signature because it was so convenient each time I logged on I could click on them and enjoy them but just realized I could do the same thing if I had them here in my blog!...so here they are!

https://youtu.be/gNSfhSXtvSk  ...really like this one...the kitty reminds me of myself so I will keep on moving like she is doing...you just can't give up!

 https://youtu.be/cy46iOwWQiE  ...and have always liked Matthew Wilder!

 https://youtu.be/gI7YHZVc7mM  ... dearly love Deniece Williams!...this is one of my favorites!

https://youtu.be/KBCWLhlJV0Y   ...absolutely always loved Aretha Franklin & George Michael..the very best!

I used to be a "wild child" & in some ways am now though I have grown up a little bit believe it or not & it's about darn time I did!

Have learned to stand up for myself more than I used to also so that's good!

I have always loved the underdogs...maybe I'm one too but I will go out on a limb for one hopefully to help them feel better and at the same time it will help me feel better....need to do it more often here lately...there are lots of ways you can help a person and it does not have to always be with money!

I know without a shadow of a doubt I could write a book of my life and may do that (bet some others on here could too)...there are things in my past I'm not proud of but there are many many things I am proud of...my ex & I were in a business for a few years and he was still in it when we divorced where people looked up to us and we were in the local newspaper a lot & was featured in our main company's trade magazine more than once for having one of the best franchises in the business.

...long story short I could not really handle the fact that we were looked up to....maybe I thought I didn't deserve it...don't know what the reason was but anyway I went thru a period of where I (as they call it "acted out")....did all sorts of crazy things to cope...finally came to my senses and said well this is not the way to go so gave all of that up & started being more responsible....I had it made & didn't even know it!

After my divorce I knew I had to be responsible because I was alone with nobody to take care of me but me....so you grow up real fast when that registers in your mind.

Then in 2008 I found this website on here called Lottery Post and we had just gotten the lottery in NC in Oct. of 2006...& at the time I was working part time at a car dealership as their receptionist and the men there were all excited about the lottery coming and they kept talking about playing pick 3 so of course I got interested in it also...back then if I played over one playslip for 50 cents each & didn't win anything I'd be crushed but as time went on it creeped up and up then before long $20 a pop didn't seem like much then it seemed to start getting out of hand so I knew I had to get a hold of the situation.

...but the thing was I was winning often....not much but often & that will keep you playing...well I have played ever since it came to NC...once in awhile I will take a mini break but not that much but I have talked to some on here recently who have told me they spend hundreds at a time and almost lost everything they had (you'd be surprised to know who they are)...not ever going to tell for sure but I knew darn well I didn't want to do that so that has more or less reigned me back in....again I have to realize it's me who has to take care of myself with God's help.

I almost went off the deep end recently when my 12 year old male cat had to be put down for cancer & I didn't even know he was sick until the last 2 days then almost a month later my other female cat had a growth in her mouth...I would not have known if it had not started protruding out of the side of her little mouth...this was on a Sat. so on Monday took her to the vet and he said we have to operate tomorrow...he got it all but the specimen he sent off came back that it was cancerous so I got down in the dumps again but have been praying about this and came to the conclusion that I'm going to make my kitty cat as comfortable as possible and if it comes back will make the decision at the time...she's 10 almost 11 & has had a good life here with me & my other kitty cat.

As I think back on my life it could have turned out different though it's not bad now and I have a lot to be grateful for but I think things happen the way they're supposed to and also for a reason...I have had 3 marriage proposals since my divorce and the last one was well off and I would not ever have had to worry about money but then I got to thinking about it and money is not that important if you don't love the person so I didn't marry him....he moved to another state and ended up marrying a lady he met there and a couple of years later I read in the paper of his death...he had a heart attack.

I have always been a very trusting person and that will get you in trouble fast these days....the last one I poured my heart out to backfired big time and I vowed I would never do it again and I haven't unless it was something I did not care if they repeated what I had told them...it seems I have to learn lessons about everything....maybe one day I'll get it down pat but I really think everybody learns lessons every single day about something whether they choose to let it help them or not....I try to learn from it!

I also suffer from chronic pain and at one time was complaining all the time to anyone who would listen then found out there are millions of others just like me who were healthy all their life then arthritis or some other ailment caught up with them so I've decided not to let it get me down...just take one day at the time and thank God at the end of the day and do it again the next day...works so much better now.

One thing that helps me get back centered it to read the bible and motivational books...I have a lot of them...it's so easy to feel sorry for myself as I'm sure it it is for a lot of others but that's what will get you in trouble in a heartbeat...God helps those who helps themselves!

I remember talking to DkWillis's husband on the phone one time when I had called her and she wasn't home and he had the same kind of chronic pain I do but his attitude was great and I said then if he can do it so can it....he told me to exercise more & that helped him...sadly DK lost him some time later the next year and he is in heaven now watching over her!

...my brother, mother & daddy is up there watching over me too...I was looking at my dad's picture on the dresser one day and thinking about the fact that he never held me...just rocked the cradle with his foot because he was dying of cancer and so help me the picture fell over....this is true...nothing could have caused it to fall nothing at all but it did and I think he was saying I'm here with you...I also saw an angel one time but will save that for another blog entry.

I could write more but think this is enough for now...probably too much and nobody will probably even have the patience to read it but it's a blog and it helped me!

I ran across this reading Lottolaughs blog way back around 2007 and it's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time so wanted to share it on mine!

Thanks Lottolaughs!

I was just reading on the internet about friends...some friends you can always depend on and some you can't...they're the ones who aren't true friends and never were!

It's really hard in this day & time to find a really true friend you can trust completely!  I've always been one who trust too easily then got burnt!

Hopefully I have learned some lessons along the way!

  I have a friend named Judy who has always been a true friend and always will & I'm sure she feels the same way about me...she is a rare friend...almost lost her in the tornado we just had here but she got thru it with God's help...she was driving in the tail end of it as she had not heard the warning.

Her 20 year marriage is now breaking up and she's going thru a really hard time and needs me there for her & I will be there as she was for me when my mother passed away & lots of other times!

You never know when you will find another true friend...I think God puts others in your life for a reason...I know he has in my life for me to learn from & I'm so happy about it.

These two kitty cats sum it up!

This is the way I feel sometimes but I keep on hanging on and it will be ok for sure!

 If you play the lottery hope you win big today!

Don't watch "too much" news on TV!

Well I finally got a $100 winner one more time on my favorite card...the "bad odds" one...last ones have been $50 & that's the only 2 kinds of wins you can get!

Been keeping up with how many had been sold for a day or two & hoping the others lost & they did so I got it today!

We can dance for that little kitty cat!will buy you a treat!...buy me one too!

Been keeping up with how many had been sold at a grocery store and took a chance today & it paid off for $50 and got the p3 for $40...& got my $5 back from buying a $5 card so $95 is not bad!

I'm happy for any win!good luck to everybody!

Please be sure to wash your hands the first thing you do when you get home from anywhere and if you work wash them often there...just wanted to remind everybody of this because of all of the flu deaths in all of our states!

Here's an article about the flu epidemic.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/01/09/deaths-and-hospitalizations-rise-flu-season-hits-full-swing/1017898001/

Haven't been buying the "bad odds' card lately but got an $80 win last night with 552 in NC & a $40 one the day before.

Got a few scratch wins posted on Jordan's thread lately.

Got another one of the "bad odds" cards today!

Got lucky with some yesterday and the day before!...bought 3 of the $5 ones & wouldn't you know it the first one won $100....if I had bought only one the 3rd one would have won!

Got the $50 winner at Harris Teeter because they were so low on cards & got lucky with it & the other one was left over I had won out of a machine earlier.

If I didn't like p3 so much I'd just buy these because my luck sure seems to be better with them!

Couldn't find any of the "bad odds" cards at the main store I go to so guess I will wait on them.

NC should make more of the "bad odds" kind of card where you can only win 2 amounts.

Good luck to anyone who happens to read this...I'm very grateful for getting these!

It's a good thing I could not get out for the snow because enough of these "bad odds" cards were sold off the roll I won with the last one & it was time for this one!

Yay for me & the kittty cats!

Had to work a little harder for this one but was "NOT" going to let NCEL take my money for sure!

When you lose with a couple you set someone else up to win so I thought it may as well be me so went back to the same store & got it!

Won $160 in all with yesterday & the day before's wins.

Little kitty cats you will have plenty of cat food for quite awhile now!

Well I bought 3 of the bad odds cards today & wouldn't you know it the first one won!...would have had to get back in the long line to buy more so bought 3...none in the machine...oh well...still good!...still happy!

Also got the p3 number...it was 838 & I had 883 boxed for $80 so $180 for today!

Every little bit makes me and the kitty cats happy!

Sometimes the world & "some" of the people in it can be so cruel.

The best thing to do is to leave them alone!

Because they "always" get what's coming to them!

As long as I have my kitty cats who love me unconditional who needs "mean" people!
