Today I was going to get a large mouth funnel out of my canning pot and, guess what? The Beast, with this stupid smile on his face, says * You aren't going to find it. It's gone.* When I said *Where did you put it?* He then says, *I gave it to the Princess.*
I was so pissed that I couldn't talk. He then says to me...like this justifies anything....*Well, you haven't used it for a couple years...* That's when I interrupted him and said, *I only missed last summer because of two things. #1...I was recovering from major surgery. #2....We didn't get enough of the tomatoes for me to can any. AND...I told the Princess she could USE it if she wanted to can anything. And I would even help her.* I then turned around and left the room. I barely talked to him the rest of the evening. He also gave her a lot of the jars I had out in the garage and he probably promised her what is left. He's now totally pissed me off because he never even said anything to me or asked me before he did it. But I have news for him. Now, if and when I decide to do any canning, I am going to go out and BUY A NEW kit. He has no idea how difficult it was for me to find that one I had in the first place. I can probably find one on Amazon and I WILL buy one. But first, I have to be convinced that our garden is going to produce enough to make it worth the time and trouble that canning can be. Even without a garden (back in FL), when I made my salsa, we bought a flat of tomatoes from a farmer's market.
I'm sure the Princess remembers the trouble with taking the skins off, then cutting up the tomatoes, onions, celery, etc. just for the salsa. He only wanted to plant tomatoes last summer and they didn't produce what you need to make canning worth while. I tried to get him to take me to the Farmers Market in Guntersville but, no, he didn't want to spend any money on that so I didn't do any canning.
Now, onto another problem that happened to me today that makes me suspect that all the problems I have had with my disappearing pictures (and a few other minor things) may just be that my hard drive is bad. I downloaded Windows 10 just a few days ago and was getting used to it. It wasn't as bad as some people made me suspect other than you couldn't chose to stop automatic updates for Windows.
Today, I started up my computer and ended up with WINDOWS 7!!! Not even my Windows 8. And all the pictures that I had taken and saved were gone....again with the pictures. It really pissed me off. I could deal with the downloading Win10 again but the pictures made me absolutely NUTS! I had pictures that I can't replace. I can get some back from the ones I posted but I had others of the kids that I can't. I searched and searched this computer with every imaginable word selection in my downloads and...nothing!
I told the Beast that I thought there was a problem with my hard drive. I don't know if he believes me but he knows I lost Win10 (even the download for it was GONE!) so that is what makes me suspect that it's my hard drive that has been causing me problems. I've run several different malware and virus programs (even my Norton is gone) and found nothing much in that area. So it's either a really sneaky worm or the drive just has bad sectors in it. *Sigh* Why me??????
So I am going to close this for tonight. I have a headache and I know it's just stress. I need to take an aspirin or two and go lay down. Love you all. Say a little prayer for me. ***Hugs***
It seems to me that the Princess can take some blame for the funnel. She should be told that when the Beast 'gives' her stuff that perhaps she had better check with YOU, too.
