What is on your mind

I was watching the movie "The Fourth Kind" as in close encounters of the....scared the living daylights out of me.

So I switched gears and heard that Ricky Martin finally bounced out of the closet.

I love my boss and I love my job. But yesterday my boss was a total a** to me about something that happened on Friday that I had no control over.

The damage had been done long before the client called our office. I could not get in touch with my boss - left her a voice mail and sent a text message but no response.

Did what I needed to do and handled the situation appropriately. No big deal. Been in this field over 20 years.

However, client caused great drama at courthouse that embarassed my boss. Again, this all happened before client called me.

So boss comes in from court yesterday and asks me what happened Friday and I tell her. She fills in what the Court Clerk told her - I knew this stuff already but stayed with the client's version (made notes and they are in her file).

Then she lays into me about that she was out of town and had no phone signal. (I figured that out Friday when she didn't answer me.)

And she goes on to tell me that when she goes out of town perhaps she should contact a list of attorneys and ask them to babysit her cases and keep an eye on me.

Yes, she said that.

I understand that she was angry at the client and embarassed by her actions. It was not my fault and I handled it the way it should have been handled.

I did not deserve that comment nor did I deserve the anger.

I do not need a babysitter.

I do know the difference between "I will not be in the office tomorrow" (which is what she told me) and "I am going out of town" (which is what she didn't tell me).

When a client calls and tells me they have been arrested and my attorney is out of the office I try to contact my attorney. If my attorney is out of town and I know she is out of town I call one of her colleagues.

When the client shows up in the office and says she really was not arrested but her ex-husband was because they went to the courthouse together to file a motion to dismiss the protective order she has against him - there is no more emergency as far as our involvement is concerned. (He was not supposed to be near her & was arrested for violating the order.)When husband was arrested client lost it and showed her a** in a huge way at the courthouse.

How I was responsible for this I have no idea.

If my boss was venting that was fine but she didn't need to be insulting.

When she spoke to client yesterday afternoon she was nice to her and did not mention the drama client caused at courthouse. Guess she used all that up on me that morning.

*sigh*

I love my boss and my job - but for a little while I will not feel good about her.

[WolfyOne]

So,it's windy here today, but nice enough to get out in the yard and do something.......yes, I took a handsaw out with me and started trimming off branches that sprouted from the bottom of a few trees. It makes mowing the lawn easier when I don't have to dodge branches. Anyhow, I finish what I'm doing and start walking back to the house. I look down at my hands and one finger is bleeding on one hand and the hand I was using to saw with now has a blister. I know I could have used an electric saw, but I have no depth perception, so I tend to stay away from anything that could harm me quickly. Imagining now I'd be on my way to the ER if I used anything other than the handsaw. I never felt it cut into me. The things I do when left home alone without a plan. I'm sure there's more around here to do that can get me hurt or in trouble, so I'll try to remember that no one is here with me if I get hurt.

I am feeling you Dylan. Just another average day in the life of an not so average person trying to get along in all of this.

As for the "helping someone move" this my friend is the sacred calling of a butch/transman/Queer that exhibits masculine characteristics, and of course has a truck.

so glad my endoscopy went well and that my ulcers are all gone (had 5 of them) and meds and a surgery will take care of my huge hiatal hernia that was discovered today..

HUGE Note to self: Do NOT make or drink coffee tomorrow!!
I had 2 large 16oz Contigo Mugs full today and have been WIRED FOR SOUND!!
Like a puppy wired up on Strawberry Twizzlers!!!
I'm trying to get back into a "normal" work schedule after being off for several months... the alarm goes off very early... I'm STILL wired for sound!
*Kicking self in flat-ass!!*

My Netflix DVDs were delivered today.... guess I'll watch all 8 episodes of NCIS tonight before I get an hour's sleep?

[RNguy]

What's on my mind is that I'm so proud of our sons for their golden sweet hearts. Today, they wanted ( they thought of this to do today by themselves) but they wanted to go down to the animal humane society today and volunteer their time to help with the animals. They had to fill out this application to be volunteers and they took their time in the best possible handwriting that 9 year old boys have and filled the application out all by themselves. it asked for last grade completed and they put their elementary grade which was funny as can be and yet so freaking cute. under reasons for what experiences they had they put that they volunteered every thanksgiving at the homeless shelter carrying coffee and rolls and they have alot of love for pets and they love their pets and do a good job with them and take care of them real good.
LOL this is no joke and it makes me extremely proud everytime I think about todays event..... PLUS they got to leave with their own adopted shitzo doggy named gizmo.... it was a very cool day, i'm a very proud daddy, and as for mommy well,,,,, you can imagine the pride and tears she shed.

i'm starving. ez is starving me. i was trying to harass juney but she's no where to be found. maybe she's in the daddy-girl thread... *looking* for juneyjune--could she be coloring in her shiny new coloring book?

((juney))

also, i want to post a bunch of those big yellow ribbons on dylan's profile. i read earlier how he likes them--and a big bicycle and lance armstrong.

i'm starving. i'm going to wrap up 3 of our 4 loudest/barkingest dogs to send to live with medusa and jack. we have to keep the pug, he's an old man and his barking, snoring and shedding we still find absolutely precious. (we call him newborn and ez will cradle him and hand him to me like he's my newborn baby)

The finger I cut with a handsaw yesterday really hurts today and is a little swollen.

Must make mental note: what the hell was I thinking

u better clean that out real good and get some neosporin on it, swollen is a sign of infection. (i cut my finger with a saw the other day in my jewelry making class--jewelry is dangerous work)

[Enchantress]

I can't sleep due to the most horrendous headache.

I have gone through every cupboard in the kitchen, looking for any bits of yummy food and there is nothing, nothing I tell you.

Truly, I think this has become a case of "being taken advantage of"....

After coming home from dad's funeral (with the exhausting travel headaches and being torn up about having to leave my brother and 2 nieces behind) I have been promptly, nearly every day, bombarded by the young, very able-bodied neighbor to be her "taxi" (this went on before the funeral too), so I posted a HUGE sign that says DO NOT DISTURB on my front door...(with some text explaining that I respectfully needed some rest and not to disturb unless it's urgent)... To be honest, I got tired - after already being exhausted - of this neighbor ringing the door bell several times a day to take her to work or other places (both her jobs are less than 2 miles away and we are on a bus route plus her family lives less than 4 blocks away)...

I certainly DON'T mind helping people out and I have always been very proud to be an "old fashioned" helpful, caring neighbor that believes in the kind of community where everyone helps out their neighbors, no matter how small the favor or how inconvenient it may be.

But for some reason, for the very first time in my life, a neighbor is REALLY starting to annoy me on a regular basis (maybe it's the overwhelming grief and heartache I've been through that has worn me down?) and for the very first time EVER, I have said NO to a neighbor.

After posting the DO NOT DISTURB UNLESS URGENT sign, she rang the door bell 3 days ago and handed me 2 pieces of my mail (I have a mail slot in my door)... (I have told her time and time again NOT to ring the door bell because the dogs go OFF... to knock instead.) She then stood around chatting about NOTHING but her mail and wouldn't make eye contact... then she finally said, "I was gonna ask for a ride to work, but I saw your sign."...Mind you, this was a VERY sunny day that many people would have enjoyed the very short hike to Outback Steakhouse where she works...I told her I had just taken my prescription pain pills that I can't drive with...she said "are you sure?"... I got this cross/serious look on my face and then she stood there hemming and hawing about the items she got in the mail again...then left.

Today, my sign is still up and I was enjoying a quiet, peaceful day soaking up the sunshine in my new "work from home office".... I nearly jumped outa my skin when she rang the door bell SEVERAL TIMES quickly... Willy went OFF so bad I had to lock him in the crate (I've tried so hard to break him of this)... I knew who it was. She asked for a ride to the grocery store "to get chicken". While I was trying to control BOTH dogs (who normally are the sweetest dogs EVER, but growl, snarl and snap at her)... I was privately thinking "CAN'T YOU READ? DON'T YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS RECENTLY GRIEVING A LOSS? ARE YOU FOR REAL? NOW SERIOUSLY, THIS IS OVER THE TOP!!" .... it's another REALLY beautiful day out and I know for a fact that she is very able-bodied... I told her "No, I have a new job working from home and I can't leave the phones." She says "not even for a couple minutes?" ... inside me, I start to growl!! just like Willy!... the store is RIGHT BESIDE Outback Steakhouse. I very curtly and firmly said "I can't leave the house, I'm very sorry. But if you need ANYTHING from my pantry or fridge, please come in and help yourself, I have a full pantry and have some fresh chicken. You are welcome to anything I have, but I can't leave the house." She gives me a line of bull about "No thanks, I'll just walk down [3 blocks] to the Chinese place and get some chicken." and she hurry's off my porch as if I had slapped her.

I am very ashamed with myself for saying NO and for allowing an inconvenient, obviously clueless neighbor get on my nerves so bad. (please note, I NEVER lied to her or made excuses, I simply told her the truth and chose not to take her anywhere...and she doesn't ever offer gas money)


I am ashamed with myself... but at the same time, I am pissed off with feeling I'm being taken advantage of.

Sorry for my rant....
I would NEVER say NO to a neighbor that I knew truly needed the help... . But the other day when she asked for a ride, she said "I can't get a cab, can you take me to work?" It was the very day after I got back from the funeral, I said "I'm sorry, I can't, I'm exhausted, but I'm sure the landlady will take you, want me to call her?"... she said "No, can I use your phone?" ... so I handed it to her... she called the taxi service and asked for a taxi, which arrived in less than 10 minutes :angry: :angry: This kind of thing has happened ever since she moved in.

Am I being taken advantage of?? Or is it just my raw emotions that make her annoy me?

[Blade]

One of the hardest things I've learned is to say no. I don't have to have an excuse. If I'm busy or have company or for whatever reason don't want to do something,I just say no. Sometimes that is hard for me because usually it is someone I care about wanting me to do some piddly something, that doesn't have to be done right now. Like Mom, suddenly all of her needs are immediate she can't wait for anything. But then she's my Ma, I don't make her wait much.

Yes you are being taken advantage of and obviously she knows exactly how to push your buttons and does well at it. Don't let her get to you. Just from now on say no, no explanation necessary. Now you might ask if she'd like to go to the store with you when you go. Then she has no reason to ask you to take her later. Personally with all that running her around, if she asks again, ask her for her SSI # and if you can claim her on ya taxes next year. Ya not her Mom, ya don't owe her nothing.

ohhhh Blade,
I can't THANK YOU enough for your support, encouragement, and positive advice!! I love how strong and assertive your post comes over as. Thank ya darlin'!!! :lips::lips:

I do have trouble saying no to neighbors in need or family/friends. And I told my landlady that I didn't want anyone seeing me as a nasty neighbor. (My landlady was pissed that she ignored my Do Not Disturb sign.) But after you so kindly shared your support, I think I will do as I did with my son... "it's Tough Love for you buddy!"

Your support is VERY appreciated!! I've been told I am too hard on myself and this issue was nagging at me.

Blade was too nice. So are you. The next time she does anything like that, get me her number. I'll give her a good talking to. She's not only taking advantage of you, but is obviously lazy and couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone else's feelings/time/needs/etc. Seriously.

LMCuteAO!!! 90 pound Sugar Hounds!! What is it with the Twizzlers and my Grampa's dog Pickles with his Snickers bars? OMG!! My Mom's old dog Lucky would come running when he heard you say "OH SHIT" when you dropped food... but he wouldn't come when you called his name!!!

Gemme, Blade! My Heros!!
Yeah, I am a bit TOO nice some times... but Gemme pegged it!! The brat next door is lazy and doesn't give a rat's ass!! After today, I've HAD IT! When she rings that door bell tomorrow, I'll get her number and close the door in her face. (but she's always saying she's "out of minutes, can I use your phone?") Like Blade said and I took to heart... I don't owe her nothing! Time to grow up and get lost!

WUV U BOTH!! Thanks!!

To be honest, I got tired - after already being exhausted - of this neighbor ringing the door bell several times a day to take her to work or other places (both her jobs are less than 2 miles away and we are on a bus route plus her family lives less than 4 blocks away)...

I certainly DON'T mind helping people out and I have always been very proud to be an "old fashioned" helpful, caring neighbor that believes in the kind of community where everyone helps out their neighbors, no matter how small the favor or how inconvenient it may be.

But for some reason, for the very first time in my life, a neighbor is REALLY starting to annoy me on a regular basis (maybe it's the overwhelming grief and heartache I've been through that has worn me down?) and for the very first time EVER, I have said NO to a neighbor.

After posting the DO NOT DISTURB UNLESS URGENT sign, she rang the door bell 3 days ago and handed me 2 pieces of my mail (I have a mail slot in my door)... (I have told her time and time again NOT to ring the door bell because the dogs go OFF... to knock instead.) She then stood around chatting about NOTHING but her mail and wouldn't make eye contact... then she finally said, "I was gonna ask for a ride to work, but I saw your sign."...Mind you, this was a VERY sunny day that many people would have enjoyed the very short hike to Outback Steakhouse where she works...I told her I had just taken my prescription pain pills that I can't drive with...she said "are you sure?"... I got this cross/serious look on my face and then she stood there hemming and hawing about the items she got in the mail again...then left.

Today, my sign is still up and I was enjoying a quiet, peaceful day soaking up the sunshine in my new "work from home office".... I nearly jumped outa my skin when she rang the door bell SEVERAL TIMES quickly... Willy went OFF so bad I had to lock him in the crate (I've tried so hard to break him of this)... I knew who it was. She asked for a ride to the grocery store "to get chicken". While I was trying to control BOTH dogs (who normally are the sweetest dogs EVER, but growl, snarl and snap at her)... I was privately thinking "CAN'T YOU READ? DON'T YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS RECENTLY GRIEVING A LOSS? ARE YOU FOR REAL? NOW SERIOUSLY, THIS IS OVER THE TOP!!" .... it's another REALLY beautiful day out and I know for a fact that she is very able-bodied... I told her "No, I have a new job working from home and I can't leave the phones." She says "not even for a couple minutes?" ... inside me, I start to growl!! just like Willy!... the store is RIGHT BESIDE Outback Steakhouse. I very curtly and firmly said "I can't leave the house, I'm very sorry. But if you need ANYTHING from my pantry or fridge, please come in and help yourself, I have a full pantry and have some fresh chicken. You are welcome to anything I have, but I can't leave the house." She gives me a line of bull about "No thanks, I'll just walk down [3 blocks] to the Chinese place and get some chicken." and she hurry's off my porch as if I had slapped her.

I am very ashamed with myself for saying NO and for allowing an inconvenient, obviously clueless neighbor get on my nerves so bad. (please note, I NEVER lied to her or made excuses, I simply told her the truth and chose not to take her anywhere...and she doesn't ever offer gas money)


I am ashamed with myself... but at the same time, I am pissed off with feeling I'm being taken advantage of.

Sorry for my rant....
I would NEVER say NO to a neighbor that I knew truly needed the help... . But the other day when she asked for a ride, she said "I can't get a cab, can you take me to work?" It was the very day after I got back from the funeral, I said "I'm sorry, I can't, I'm exhausted, but I'm sure the landlady will take you, want me to call her?"... she said "No, can I use your phone?" ... so I handed it to her... she called the taxi service and asked for a taxi, which arrived in less than 10 minutes :angry: :angry: This kind of thing has happened ever since she moved in.

Am I being taken advantage of?? Or is it just my raw emotions that make her annoy me?


Sweet, good thing she's not my neighbor. If I was you and watched her dial a taxi to take her to work knowing she never pays you for gas, I would've said, btw, when I do feel better the next ride you ask me for will cost you what the taxi did. After all, I am giving curbside service.

You are not being a bad neighbor, but you are being taken advantage of. Like Gemme said, give me her phone number because I got her number on just how she uses you. You are way too nice......so, stop it. Don't offer to let her shop in your pantry and cut the rides out. Shopping at the store when you do, IS all you should offer because you're not having to go out of your way. Time to tell her, here's a quarter, go call someone who cares.

My Friends here at BFP really do have my back... I'm so humbled and flattered!! THANK YOU!!
I am a bit surprised... I thought I would get in trouble for ranting so bad and being a fussy brat. You each really made my day!! This issue had been buggin me for some time... I wanted to call her a user in my first post, but didn't know if that was crossing the line? I wish she would learn the respect that you each showed me today!

Trust me! NO MORE CURBSIDE SERVICE OR FREE PANTRY!! She's the one working and I'm the one on unemployment!

Thanks again for teaching me to stand up for myself!!

I'm very slouched down in my office chair...

I still didn't get much sleep last night...
I suddenly feel like I need a nap...
just got back from lunch, Joann's Fabric store, and the farmer's market with Mom... she's very sick again, weak, was limping bad and coughed so bad she could barely eat in peace... her lips were so blue...but she's stubborn as a MULE!!! I worry so much! I was afraid of her driving home alone. After seriously nearly loosing her to Stage 4 Lymphoma a year ago, she's come so far since then... today was the worst I've seen her in a while. And it's ALL MY FAULT!!! I KNEW and told her she'd get sick if she went to Indiana with me for dad's funeral!! But she insisted on helping me drive and she wanted to see her side of the family. I TOLD her if she stayed at her sister's where they chain smoke and have all been sick with upper-respiratory stuff that she'd get sick in a heart beat. It's ALL MY FAULT!! I should have insisted she stay with me at my brother's or put her up in a hotel. But I gave into her when she said "no, don't worry"... I know she's missed her family a lot since she was battling the cancer...and they only came out once to see her.

........... I am exhausted, time for a nap....

But I felt good and saw the happiness in her face when she said "Honey, I really enjoyed my day with ya, it's such a beautiful day out and lunch was DELICIOUS [at our favorite little Greek place], and thanks for the Easter Flowers!! I LOVE YA!!" and she gave me a good strong hug.

But I still worry....

Today I was told , "You really shouldn't be doing that!"
The woman had a horrible look on her face. And her tone was mean.

BTW, all I was doing was dancing around in the parking lot.
I thought it was fun first of all. Second of all, I was dancing with the kids.
Ohhh ...And it was an empty parking lot btw...smiles

I replied:

I must be doing something wrong.

[bigbutchmistie]

I must be doing something wrong.

Why do you think that?

[Kenna]

my son...
the house is so quiet without his laughter, his wit, his "I know Mom"...oh how I miss when he would mimic the "Cowardly Lion" on Wizard of Oz, so perfect that he even had the funny tail "swish" down to a T... he was so funny that he would have me laughing in stitches and holding my ribs! "Here Mom, I'll hand ya a tissue... but you gotta wait to pee your pants till I'm done!"...

I have never in my life met someone that had such a WILD and really wacked out sense of humor. Our favorite comedians were Robin Williams and Whoopy... they were his mentors. But I SWEAR he could give them a running for their money!!

Sitting here tonight, I really wish I could turn back time.... and stay there... just keep replaying some amazing times with my boy.

I Love you baby. I love you with all my heart. Come back to me some day, please?

One of my favorite times with him was when a little old lady said "He doesn't have eyes in the back of his head." and he promptly said "But my Momma does!"

Ohhh how time changes everything... and how Internet Predators and Pedophiles can destroy your life and your loved ones.

"Ed" (who is NOT a member of BFP)... you took my son from me, my beautiful, bright, talented first-born... you destroyed my family and have caused such horrendous grief unimaginable. I had to sit at the Christmas dinner table, the same day as my birthday, with you... after you took my son and "disappeared" for nearly a year and a half... just so I could see my son again. I felt like you were Hitler and Dr. Mengele all wrapped up, sitting there with a cocky smile on your face acting all innocent and "lovey dovey" to my Mom... who was literally DIEING of Stage 4 cancer and I had to spoon feed her Christmas dinner. This whole time you have just skirted the law and you think you know your way around things.... but I promise you, there is Justice for EVIL devils like you. And I will be there on your judgment day. I will be standing next to Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates... I PROMISE you, the day you come to meet your maker, I will give up my place in Heaven with both my sons, my Great Gramma, Mom and other dear family members to make sure you PAY!! I WILL have a Mother's Justice... even if I have to wait 60 more years (my gramma lived to see 94!), and kiss both my boys good-bye forever and see them in my Great Gramma's loving arms for the last time. There is a special place for Predators like you. It's far worse then Hell. And I promise you, that your actions and destruction has NOT made me weak and frail...I am FAR from weak...your plan backfired buddy. I may have been weak at first, but I am my Great Gramma's shadow... I have her strength and dignity, as tough as diamonds... The day you meet your maker, I will show you no mercy.

I share this here tonight, not to vent about the grief and anger... but to "drive it home" to people about Internet Predators and their destruction. PLEASE be careful and take care of your families and yourselves... because the old sayings "it will NEVER happen to me" just doesn't fly!

[Andrew, Jr.]

My dearest and closest friend of mine just called me to deliver shocking news. I am really in shock now. Her Aunt was murdered. What had happened is about 3 weeks ago her beloved cat died. She called her and wanted her to bury her cat. So, she went over her house and dug a hole, and got a pillow for her cat. And that was that. She takes in everyone and includes animals. She is a lover of life.

Her Aunt is like the kind of Aunt everyone wants. She is the life of the party. She is there for all the kids, never forgets anyone, brings tons of food to parties, and loves everyone no matter what.

Then the next thing, was that her Aunt didn't show up for her card game. Missed a dinner date with her sister. It was one thing after another. Nobody answered the phone. Now, one of her cousins was living with his Grandmother (her Aunt). He was involved with dealing drugs - mainly coke, crack, and heroine. Well, when her mother went to her sister's house, she couldn't find her. The next day, the police and several relatives went thru the house. Nobody found her. Then my friend and her partner and a cousin went. They found her Aunt. She was rolled up in a carpet, and wrapped up first in a blanket. There were notes scattered about all thru the house, but were signed "Love, Mom Mom". Nothing made sense. Then the cousin was found. He hung himself by jumping off a 9 foot pier.

The coroner has to do tests, and an autopsy to figure out how her Aunt died. There were no obvious wounds, no gunshots, nothing. We all think she was poisoned. And we think the cat was poisoned too. Sort of like an experiment before the actual murder took place.

In her cousin's wallet was a note saying that he was "so very sorry". That was it.

My nephew just called to wish me a Happy Easter. When his mom was alive we used to gather at their house and celebrate his holiday. i haven't seen him in about 5 years, so when I told him I'd be in Little Rock this year, I don't know who was more excited, him or me. He has 2 kids I've never met and am looking forward to meeting them. When my nephew was little, he'd spend weekends with me and when I had a softball game, he'd be my catcher, so I could get warmed up to pitch. I've missed him over the years even though we've kept in touch. I'm looking forward to Little Rock, more and more.

Hair, eyelashes, eyebrows do not make the girl, beauty is so much deeper than that. You remain all girl and so much more!

You will win this battle and come out so much stronger. You may even be surprised with your hair growing back a different color or with different texture (curls vs straight or vs v vs.)

Meet this challenge head on, it's just a blip in the big picture...YOU WILL WIN.

Sending lots of strength in prayers your way!

omg...when I got home from having Oestera/Easter at my sisters, I was told the gas company had to be called out. My butch buddy, Jean, was helping her nephew mow grass today. They do my yard. And before they started the mower, Jean detected a gas leak! It was in the space behind my trailer and the trailer behind me. Had they started the mower, chances are it would have lit the escaped gas...the manager was called who called the gas company and they came and fixed it. This is really scary because one town over, a whole house was blown apart after the caught scent of a gas leak...the gas company was on their way when the house blew...

I had smelled it a few days ago and didnt think anything of it. Lord what is WRONG with me????

I think that it is a sad day when "we" the GLTB group...an already suppressed and degraded group by the rest of the population...bashes our own. Why cant we accept others for who they are, not WHAT they identify as? I think it is even more sad when those who call themselves "PC" are some of the ones bashing...Why? Perhaps I am misguided in my understanding...but I though PC met you embrassed those who are different? Why can we just over come this negativity and allow ppl to express themselves in a safe non judgemental environment..which is what I thought this site embrassed. Please ppl...life is so short and precious to waste energy bashing ppl because they ask to be identified in a particular manor...its not my place to judge nor should it be anyone else's, but until you walk a mile in someone elses shoes then please try to understand them for who they are. We take criticism from family, friends, society...we dont need it from those in the community we are part of. Hate breeds hate...as does Love breed Love. Besides it feels better to love! Wouldnt you agree? Just some thoughts...thank you for your time.

I find my self being very nit-picky lately, like I am the self appointed continuity police. I need to let it go, no one cares and it is minutia. Being correct is less important than being at peace.

[PinkieLee]

What's on my mind right now...

One word ~ VACATION!

I leave on Thursday @ 10:30 am for Cancun, and I am soooo ready!

[firie]

It's been pretty amazing watching so far....as long as the baby mountain goat stays alive I'll keep watching!

It's so incredible! I was thinking it would be the same as or very similar to Planet Earth, but it has even more incredible footage. Just absolutely fantastic.

[Gemme]

Very disappointed that Duke won last night. I so wanted Butler to win. The incessant crowing of our local sportcasters about Duke, UNC, etc. is nauseating!

Also, I wish he media would shut up about Tiger Woods. He's not the Messiah!

Yeah, need more coffee...

:annoyed:


They were so very close too.

I find my self being very nit-picky lately, like I am the self appointed continuity police. I need to let it go, no one cares and it is minutia. Being correct is less important than being at peace. (although my rational mind has a big problem with this) I need to let it go, let it go, let it go and just be.

How many years will it take me to release desire, I wonder. I keep practicing, it seems simple but over and over I find that desire leads to suffering, darn that Buddha being right.

I'm like this too and it's worse around menses. I have such a hard time letting go of stuff and control in general.

[Blade]

On my mind hmmmm planning my day off tomorrow, and thinking about my camping weekend coming up in a few weeks and spending time with the most beautiful person on earth.

[bigbutchmistie]

Is it possible to be so happy with the little things in life?

Will Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars really retire this year? I hope not. But its probably true...

Taking Simon to the groomers he stinks and needs a haircut badly lol

What excuse can I use to go flirt the apt manager????? hmmm lol

Its General Hospital time so Im a go watch LOL

[~Bo]

I hope they hold the jackass owner of the mine in West Virginia where 25 miners just died responsible for their deaths.
He had 60 some violations and citations over the past year and a half that he blatantly ignored.
All he cared about was raking in the moola.

Bastard!! :explode:

I need to stop watching the late local news. Never fails that something is reported that brings up the issues I have to deal with at work and thought I had left at work. ugh.

[Soon]

The power of absence

[Kenna]

Gurrrrrr!!!
All day I was worn out and tired... ontop of that I had to take a Benadryl so I nearly fell asleep on the job... but when I want to sleep, it doesn't happen!!
Gurrrrrr!!!

Well, Willy Bear and Tashi...guess we can get in some extra snuggle time before the alarm goes off? We'd go out to the deck to snuggle, if I heard spring peepers instead of loud traffic from the highways, the airport and train yard.

Note to self: NO MORE COFFEE, favorite tea ;) ;), or Mint Milano cookies!!

[Dylan]

New business cards

Car door magnets

A fantastic phone call today for my services in San Antonio on an animal sanctuary that does animal therapy for alternately-abled kids

Oooops. Yes......600. Thank you for changing that. :)

It's yellow car season here in the Carolinas...the tree pollen this year is the worst I have ever seen.

There are actually clouds of this stuff! When the wind blows pollen falls from the trees like snow! So help me, it's a pollen blizzard!

They reported on the news this morning we have more than twice the usual tree pollen because of the super wet winter.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow. That will help a little.

[Blade]

YEP you can even see it on school buses and yellow cars. LOL. I usually don't have to bad a time with tree pollen just a little discomfort, but this year is so heavy with pollen I'm seeing a difference. I just hope the grass pollen season isn't this heavy or my eyes will be swollen shut every day. Not complaining though at least it isn't 20 degrees or 100 degrees.

I love my haircuts. I used to highlight my hair blonder, but with it so short, it's pointless as it gets cut out the following trip to my stylist. Soooo, my hair has gotten darker as I've gotten older, and now the grey shows some. Boo! I just refer to it as being distinguished. *grin*

[Andrew, Jr.]

I just learned that my idol, tennis legend, Martina Navratilova, 53 yo, is battling breast cancer. She endured a lumpectomy and radiation. I am not sure of what is going on with her. All of this is news to me. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family, friends, and fans.

[stonebutchinpa]

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother :sigh:

I am eagerly waiting for this day to end. I think I have re-invented the art of multi-tasking and have taken it to the extreme.

I miss my niece-ies... wish I could see their soccer games!
and I wanna take a road trip!

If I had moved out West in December... I would have never reconnected with my bother and his two very adorable girls. I wouldn't have gone to my dad's funeral because it would have been too far away, therefore I wouldn't have met the two Loves of My Life... my sweet niece-ies who think their Aunt is "da bomb!!"

No worries; I'll get mine. Friday is my Monday AND I have to train someone for my own job (months down the line, that is). :blink:

That's right! I'm so indispensable that it will take 3 1/2 months to train my replacement.

[Locutus]

Am thinking that I need to break away from the past and start anew....

[Blade]

I'm thinking the critters backbones are probably thinking their throats have been cut, I bet theys hungry. And I'm thinking I need to wash off the mower and put it up and then wash off me and put me up for the night too. Yep probably another 3 or 4 hrs and I can get horizontal.:deepthoughts:

I'm amused by the fact that even though I've reached the milestone of being eligible to post in "the Loft" thread I still cannot bring myself to. Nothing like a good dose of denial!

[Soft*Silver]

whats on my mind tonight is how much i love my old dog, Story. Like all newfs, she is very sweet and loving. But unlike other newfs I had, she didnt come like that. She had no emotional attachment with humans. She was a kennel dog and a breeding dog. She had all her needs met and was well taken care of but she had no bonding sense. I have had her about 7 years now. And every year she has grown to become more and more devoted to me. Her heart has grown. I know this is going to sound silly, but she had no sense of self esteem when I first got her. She would lower her head and her back would bough in total submission. Now, she climbs into my arms and buries her head into me, wanting that affection. I am so glad she gets to enjoy human love before she passes on....

Woke up at 5am with a migraine, but can't let it slow me down today.

Everyone is gone from the house
R at the VA Hospital, the other 3 on their way back to Michigan
I can now do the laundry, clean the house and be the dish washer

Oh and let's not forget the cats, fed them, gave them fresh water scooped the litter boxes because THEY can't do it for themselves

Honestly, I feel like it's a full time job that I'm sick of.

I believe that I have done the work I needed with grieving and then getting reaquainhted with dating. I am not certain that until now, I have been capable of (or even deserving) of this mutual spark....

I have just turned a corner, I believe. And taken the time needed. We can't go where we can't go until we get there...

[JustLovelyJenn]

I am wondering how it is that people find it so hard to believe who I say I am. I understand that this world is full of people who say what they do not mean, I even understand that many of us have been lied to so much it is simply inexcusable. Somehow, it still shocks me when they really cant see me.

I am different from so many people. In many ways I know my differences are my biggest downfall. I trust, no matter how many times I have been lied to I still trust. I forgive, no matter the severity of the transgression I believe in giving people an honest second chance. And I love, so completely, so deeply, that people seem to find it impossible.

Is it so impossible to imagine that I can love someone to the extent that no matter what side of them I see that love is still the same? That I can except any change in them simply because it is still them? That once I let someone through that door, once I let them into my heart, until they truly push me away I will still love them the same? Even then, when they push so hard that I have to let go the love never leaves. I still love them. I may allow them to leave, I may move on with my life, but that love for them will never be gone. They hold a piece of my heart forever. They become a part of me.

This love, this honest unconditional love is not a reaction of fear, its not a rash untried belief. It is just a part of who I am. I don't know how to love any less. It truly is all or nothing. If I love you I love all of you. Whether I take you into my arms as my family, my friend, or my love, I love you completely.

Just sitting here and pondering if when people get their hearts broken over and over do they ever really get over it?

Just this stuff is on my mind... Pondering....

Your pondering reminds me of one of my favorite songs of all time.

You Can't Break a Broken Heart by Kate Voegele

Won't be so easy,
This time you hurt me
You can try, and this time, oh baby, there are no tears left here to dry
If you think you can woo me like before, if you think you can do that anymore
Won't get too far, no

You can't break a broken heart, so try your best now baby
Try your best to break me, you can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now, I'm immune to you now, you can't break what broke apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

Hurt me before now,
Won't hurt no more now
Not this time
You might do better messin with someone else's mind
Cause your not gonna break me down again
You're done and through with me the way you did
Its gone to far

And you can't break a broken heart, so try your best now baby
Try your best to break me, you can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now, I'm immune to you now, you can't break what broke apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

So don't gaze to your time
Your time has come and gone
What are you here for?
You can't hurt me anymore

So try your best now baby, try your best to break me
You can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now, I'm immune to you now
You can't break what broke apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

So try your best now baby, try your best to break me
You can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now, I'm immune to you now
You can't break what broke apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

Break a broken heart

I saw Boris at the octoberfest last year ..Cat Ladies Society brought him and another cat out to show at their booth. He had been found, hanging from a tree, with the rope inbedded into his neck and his eye kicked in. For some reason, he didnt die. When I saw him at the Octokerfest, I was appalled at his neck...while hanging he had kicked and scrambled so hard it wore the hair off and most of his skin around his neck. He has haunted me for many months...

well...

He is now up for adoption...

I told them I want him.

Mr Smitty is going to have his Bert to his Ernie...

I'd like to thank those that have been putting up with my YouTube posts. I have a place to go to hear them now without having to go back to YouTube to look them up.

A big thanks to BBM for creating the monster I've become posting YouTubes, lol.

On my mind :

I had met a girl that I introduced to my church. Since she really wanted to find a church home. After a few dates she becamse obsessed with me I wasnt interested anymore. She continues to go to that church. I love that church. Wondering if I will ever be able to go there again. Kinda disappointed about not being able to go for months now. I detest drama. And dont want it there when Im trying to worship.

Reeeaaalllllyyyyy KFC?

The new KFC Double Down sandwich. The Double Down is essentially a sandwich with two chicken filets taking the place of bread slices. In between are two pieces of bacon, melted slices of Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack cheese and a zesty sauce.

It's like 1500 calories. And it was the top news story in the papers and on the news two weeks ago.
Gotta love Kentucky.

An hour ago, el Bossman calls and says: Gemme, I'm not going to be available for about an hour, so don't call me."

Um, okay, I rarely do, but...okay.

Just now, el Bossman calls and says: Gemme, you can call me now if you want.

*closes eyes*

What was the purpose of telling me not to bother you for an hour if you are going to call me back and tell me that I can bother you now, which I rarely do? I made it through algebra and telling time lessons just fine, thank you. Yes, it's been an hour. I am aware that you are officially 'back on the clock' now.

It makes me wonder what the person does who works this shift when I'm not here. Does she call him every hour and say, "Can I call you now?" Does she require and in and out for everything? Does she not use her common sense? Does he?
