The story on it made it really interesting. It is an Indian site that dates back thousands of years.
I think I saw that documentary on either PBS or YouTube. Yeah, it's something we never understood when they taught us American History in school. Of course there was this whole issue of covering up the genocide by denying they even had significant populations or actual CULTURE and CIVILIZATION. But they really did.
 
There is a special on Netflix "Alien Apocalypse" . The guy showed that some civilizations dated back to just after the last Ice Age, 25,000 years ago.

At Wounded Knee, in the 1890s, the cavalry talked the Indians into laying down their weapons to talk peace. The cavalry then murdered almost 200 unarmed mostly women and children and got medals for doing it. The US government never honored any treaty they signed with the Indians. The Indians honored almost all of them.

It is amazing how many of these far-flung civilizations built pyramids and had a serpent god.

Poverty Point sounds like it would be my town. LOL. But in all seriousness, I haven't visited a lot of places in this state. The roads are awful so traveling here sucks.

I was planning to get up and clean out the truck today but it was cold so I stayed inside and focused on cleaning the hallway and kitchen. Between my brother not taking trash out for months, not picking up trash pretty much ever, and his propensity to trash up his room and then kick trash into the hallway, I had a busy day of cleaning it all up. There were also some pet beds and towels on the floor where the dogs had been peeing a lot. Tossed some of those and continued to clean the hallway. Dogs like to play with empty water bottles and drag them all over the house. They had about 10 they dragged into my room. I do drink water in my room, but I always take the bottles out at least once or twice a month and I don't leave them on the floor.

Anyway, I got about 99% of the hallway cleared and I'd say 45% of the kitchen. I got the main path through it. Had to take a nap after filling up a couple of bags (and taking trash out). I started with an already full bag in the can that I took out and stuffed more (since it couldn't fit more while in the can). Found stuff cats had knocked on the floor- tupperware containers, cleaning spray, cans of soup, and random stuff. So that took more time to sort out.

I set all of the pet food trays and bowls up and had to deal with cats trying to play with the broom or get my attention. One cat was on the counter and kept patting me on the back. LOL.

After my nap I got up and continued. Ultimately filled about five 55gallon bags. Yeah, it was *that* bad. Still have a to clean up under and around the kitchen table and over near the stove and sink. There's more stuff the cats knocked off counters there that isn't trash so I have to wash it all and figure out where to put it.

One of the problems I had is that some of the cardboard and paper stuff (plates, napkins, frozen food boxes, etc) got wet and stuck to the floor. I'm having trouble getting it to come up. I need to see if harbor freight has a short rolling stool I can use to sit on and roll around with a scraper to get stuff up. A bunch of the parquet flooring came up too so that doesn't help. Floor looks disgusting but its not completely covered in trash anymore.

This was midway through when I was filling up bags.

This was about what it looks like now: All that paper crud is really stuck on. I see I need to pick up the lemon juice. LOL. Before the entire floor was covered in plastic bags, boxes, wrappers, empty bottles, etc.

I know it's not healthy having this kind of filth in the house so I'm working on getting it cleaned up while the weather is cool enough for me to not oveheat.

Mom said to me "A trash thief broke in and sole all our trash!" LOL. She was pretty happy about it and is in a good mood now.

I'm going to play ESO and then take a nap.

O-boy ! Hope you had all female nurses looking out for ya 😆 ….. are they painful 😣…… God speed Daris
No not painful other than you go into a panic mode when you can't get your breathe. The best nurse I had was a male but the rest were great and caring as well. The one thing you lose really quick is your modesty. I had to whizz and they wanted me to use a bed pan which no that didn't work. So they were going to set me up with a suction system where you just let it go and the system takes away any moisture. Well I wasn't in the right position so they lifted and moved me. In the process of all this my gown was up over my chest with 2 beautiful nurses seeing everything I got to offer. Not one of them laughed so I felt good about that. But all in all I had great care. Just to many blood draws and checks even when you are sound asleep. But I guess it is all in the process of trying to keep you alive. Hospital is a great place to be when you need it.

I'm betting you made their day too.
Glad your doing well.
 
Daris, one of the good things with the experienced staff/nurses is that they see all sorts of stuff every day & unless you have decorated your genitals like a clown or something, they aren't going to laugh. I never felt awkward about doctors/staff seeing stuff because I know they are professionals & its what they do. I'm glad it wasn't painful and that you got through it. I was having a heart catheter done and felt like I might have to pee. They told me not to worry and put a pad underneath me and told me it would be ok if I had a bladder leak because it wasn't anything I could control & they deal with it all the time.

There's an ER tech named Steve who puts out a lot of short Youtube videos with skits of life in the ER. He said they can handle diarrhea, blood, mucus, vomit, urine, blood, etc but not ticks, bedbugs, scabies or any sort of insects.

Speaking of ticks, my cow had a bunch of them behind her left horn. When I went out to clean my truck out a bit before going to the dealership for maintenance tomorrow I saw her and went over to give her some love. I pulled up a dried up dogfennel stick & started scratching behind the horn and she loved it. She put her head down for me and let me get behind both horns. I felt with my hand and found the ticks and started plucking them off and squishing them. She had one big fat one and a bunch of small ones. I scratched behind her ears a bit too. Sometimes I see her going up to bushes and trying to get a stick behind her horn to scratch herself so I know that's an itchy spot.

I dumped the floor mats out (they had a lot of dirt in them) and cleaned up all the receipts, empty water bottles, etc from the front of the truck. I brought in the cat food bags from the back seat but my body was not cooperating. Even my ribs hurt right now. I'm sore all over. Got on Mom's bad side because I got her some stuff to make a sandwich and told her I needed to lie down. She called me and wanted me to get up and go all the way across the house to take the stuff and put it back in the fridge. She's literally only 6' away from the fridge. All she has to do is get up and take the stuff through the door to the fridge. She's done it before but she was being lazy. I told her I was sore all over. She called me a bitch and hung up.

I'm seriously tempted to take my friend up no his offer to come soak in epsom salt in the tub at his house. I mean, I did buy the tub/shower surround and help him install them. LOL. Even my wrists hurt right now. Ugh. I took magnesium and ate a banana. Hope that will help at least a little because naprosyn isn't cutting it.
 
Rusty, I had packages arrive squished with tire tracks on them from the postal service before. A lot of my packages look like someone cut the tape to take a peek inside as well.

I'm exhausted right now. Had to get up around 7:30am to get up, take my truck in to the carwash, got my friend to follow me to the honda dealership, dropped truck off around 9am. They made me wait awhile as they handled phone calls and other stuff. Told me to pull up and then shut the garage doors in front of me. I slipped a few times on the wet floor.

Went to the mall with my friend only to find it doesn't open until 10am. Sat around in the car waiting and then went in but only about 2 stores were open. Some consignment shop with lots of neat stuff and Hot Topic. Got some gifts for a mutual friend in both. Waited for food court to open (opened at 11) and had Chinese food. Went to Bed Bath & Beyond to shop around and use the restrooms. Their toilets need CLR badly. I got a dish scraper for when I wash dishes. Will make things much easier as its more comfortable to hold than a putty knife.

Went to Target and browsed around. Went back to the dealership around 3pm. Friend had to get back home so I stayed there and he left. Waited until almost 4pm when they told me my truck needed to stay overnight. No one could pick me up and drive me home so I ended up getting a cheap Hertz rental. They dropped me off at the rental place. Only 2 vehicles left to be leased. I took the Rav4.

Thing has a ton of buttons & I don't know what they do. LOL. Took me awhile to figure out cruise control - which sucks on that vehicle. Backup camera is great though.

Came straight home instead of going to samsclub bc I didn't want to risk any damage/accidents with the rental. Cooked for Mom and I'm about to take a nap.
 
The pharmaceutical companies are not stupid enough to distribute these drugs without 100% indemnification from Congress.

Thank Donald Trump, Joe Biden and EVERYONE with any access to power in our government. That's the type of outcome we get from a one-party government. They have no fear. They are evil and incompetent. And they get nearly 95-100% of the vote in every election nationwide at every level of government.
 
Had two different dentist appointments today. Didn’t feel a lick of pain and it was almost $200 less than I was expecting to pay. Then later on I was takin the long way home from taking the dog to the park when I stumbled upon a hot dog cart out in Rio Verde. I got the Tucson dog. It was delicious.
