Happy anniversary mom and dad!
I didn't forget, just been super busy all this week getting the boys ready for back to school.
We tried to call you and the phone was just super busy for like an hour so I'll try again some other time.
We love you and miss you!
I love back to school but I really hate how damn early we gotta get up and do this shit.
Today is Mark's orienation stuff so yup, we are up and getting showered and ready to go.
Ugh.
Later days.
Shell,
I got the bears this morning. Thank you girl.
I know things have been hard on you since Poppa passed away and I wish I was up there with you right now.
I miss you so much, just know that even though I'm not physically there, I am there with you and miss Poppa too.
I will never forget him. He would make me laugh till I had tears running down my face.
"Just park me right here at the food stand in wal*mart while you do your shopping, I'm gonna drink coffee and look at big butted women."
Hahahaha!
You guys are all in my thoughts, give me best to Meme, I know this must be a horrible time for her especially with having to deal with his daughter and all that crap.
Love ya girl, call me anytime you need to talk.
We got all their clothes shopping done including shoes.
It wasn't too bad with tax free and all.
I'm completely exhausted now but can't sleep and I'm bored.
Blah.
In a little over a week, on August 7th, school begins.
I cannot tell you how absolutely giddy I am over this.
They were great all summer long right up until now.
Now it's "I hate you Mark" "I hate you Sebastian", and fighting.
Yup, signs that school needs to resume.
It's not like they didn't have a full summer.
They had several trips to theme parks, tons of movies, tons of sleepovers. They had a great summer, it's just time to go back now.
My only one complaint as always this time of year is, school supply lists.
Sebastian had his posted on the school website and Mark will not get his till the first day of school.
Mark has 7 classes, 7 teachers and, 7 lists.
Sebastian's list was short and easy even though it contained many items for the teachers again which still infuriates me like nothing else.
Taxes and the Florida lottery are supposed to go to education and people in this state sure do play a lot of scratch offs and state lotto. Where the hell is that money going if not for supplies for the teacher?
Why must the parents constantly keep the teachers in supply of red pens, Kleenex, dry erase markers and printer paper?
You figure, every kid has to buy 1 ream of printer paper and 1 24 pack of red pens and 1 pack of 3 colored dry erase markers for middle school teachers.
Isn't that way more than enough to supply all the teachers of the school for at least 2 years?
Seriously, try figuring out exactly how much stuff that is. Middle school has 1,900 students and all of those students must buy the same items for the teachers. Each teacher has 30 students so the supplies definitely are far more than the amount of teachers.
Yesterday we got Sebastian's supplies, all of them. Walgreen's was having a kick ass sale and it's tax free week to boot so his whole list was only $83.29, but still, that was enough to make me want to strangle someone. That's one kid dammit!
I still have to go clothes shopping and we were going to go today but after all that walking yesterday, I just don't feel like it right now.
Maybe this afternoon sometime.
Plus, my heart is still pounding from that dollar figure on one kid.
If Mark's list(s) are huge and expensive, someone may die a painful death.
Ok, off to straighten the house and answer emails. I was tired when I came home so I laid down for hours and then made dinner and then went to bed again.
Wiped out.
Later days.
Get with ICDsoft.com.
I can't say enough great things about this company, they really do rock and just when I thought they couldn't possibly get any better, they go and send out this email;

Heck, even if I stopped blogging, I'd still keep the site up and running with something else. It's cheap, reliable, and amazingly good service.
You know the rules of karma right? You get back what you put out eventually?
Well it came back around and I can't fucking stop smiling. I think I actually laughed the hardest I've ever laughed last night.
I can't go into details here, but that "owner" of a local message board I used to frequent, got handed his ass and walking papers.
He didn't own it. He didn't own the rights to it.
He lied about all that shit. Said he sunk thousands of dollars into, was a fucking hypocrite to the nth degree.
Was a fucking nazi-ish little dictator. If you weren't a good little christian who drank and partied and then went to church on Sunday, you were shit to him.
If you cursed or spoke your mind, he banned you even though he had this huge front page post up about freedom of speech.
The real owners of the franchise got sick of his shit and him ruining the name and idea they created and kicked his fucking ass to the curb.
karma's a bitch man. You will always get back what you put out.
Oh happy day, oh happy day!
This show airs on UPN44 late at night here, like 1:30am. None of us could sleep and nothing was on so the teens and I tuned in to see Bill boy do his stuff.
His sermon last night was about the evils of pot smoking and it's perverted use.
See, God made all the plants and animals of the earth for our use, to benefit, live and prosper, but smoking marijuana is a perverted use.
He contradicted himself several times saying that pot is evil and toxic yet it does help people with disease.
How can it be evil and toxic yet beneficial at the same time?
What follows is email correspondence between myself and Mr. Keller.
If anyone out there in his national tv viewing audience believed in this guy and was considering sending him money to keep his show nationwide instead of being dropped back down to just the local Tampa market, think twice about that.
Mr. Keller is not a nice man.
My email to him:
Mr. Keller,
I have to disagree with you on your sermon tonight on pot.
You say it's harmful to the body. If so, then why do doctors prescribe
it to people with cancer, glaucoma and MS?
29 And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in
its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the
earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on
the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every
green plant for food." And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that
he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and
there was morning, a sixth day.
The marijuana plant does not yield fruit but it yields a power that
helps people with medical issues.
You say it's barely 10% that uses it for medical uses, I'd have to
disagree again and say it's much more than that.
And during your sermon, you quoted man's laws regarding pot, not
God's. God said to take every plant, every animal and every seed and
use it to live and prosper.
So which is it Mr. Keller, do you follow man's law or God's laws?
God was a vengeful God. He forbade certain actions and punished those
who broke his laws. But his laws are very different from man's laws.
For example, it is a sin to lust after someone in your heart and mind,
do not covet thy neighbors wife etc.
Both of these things are not forbidden by man's law. It's not a crime
to have an affair with your neighbor.
You cannot pick and choose which laws of God and which laws of man you
want to follow.
And another thing, you have teenagers who stay up late at night during
summer vacation and watch your program. You told them how to make a
marijuana cigarette. "You take the leaves, dry them out, go to the
7-11, buy a pack of zig zags and roll up the dried leaves and smoke
it."
Nice going Mr. Keller. Good thing I'm sitting here watching your show
with my kids.
That was totally irresponsible of you.
His reply to me this morning, just 5 minutes ago;
Bill Keller
to me:
First of all, you are a complete idiot...since anyone who defends smoking
pot has smoked so much their brain has deteriorated...any kid that watches
an hour of TV knows how to roll a joint...or has such an irresponsible
parent like yourself.....
less than 1% of the people who smoke MJ do it legally as prescribed by a
doctor...it has no healing powers only the power to numb the body from
pain...which is why it is prescribed to cancer and terminally ill people who
have major issues of pain...and yes it comes from a plant but it is a
completely perverted use of that plant..just like sex is a gift from God but
when you have it outside of marriage, it is a perversion of that
gift...anybody who would even try to defend smoking pot, has zero
credibility...oh and read Romans 13:1 about what God says about man's law..You will be in my prayers, be richly blessed,
Bill Keller
www.liveprayer.com
My reply back:
Mr. Keller, I cannot believe a man of god would call people names.
I do not do any drugs. I don't smoke, drink, or do pot but I know many
people who use it prescribed by a doctor.
I'm ashamed of you. A man of god who wants people to send him money to
keep his show on the air, calling his viewers names.
What were you thinking?
Heated moment? Didn't read what you wrote before sending?
Good thing I have a website and will gladly tell people how you really
are Mr. Keller.
Have a nice day. :)
I will update this if he replies again and this time, I included my website signature so he can see for himself I wasn't lying.
I hope he decides to leave a comment apologizing for calling his viewers idiots.
Nice man of God Mr. Keller. And don't give me any of that I'm only human crap. Last night he prayed for pot smokers, today he's calling them and defenders of medical use, idiots.
Update*
first of all..Dr. Keller wouldn't be wasting his time emailing someone who
is trying to defend the ILLEGAL activity of smoking pot..we get over 40,000
emails a DAY..there are over 700 of us who answer them..adn based on your
foolish email to US....the answer fits..Dr. Keller clearly said that there
is a VERY SMALL% of people who use it as prescribed by doctors..that is not
what he spoke of..it is the 99+% who use it to get high illegally..and Dr.
Keller could care less if you or anyone sends a dime..he is not going to
back down form telling people the truth like the rest of the spineless
ministers..just to get $$..you emailed US..sorry you didn't like the TRUTH
you received back..You will be in my prayers, be richly blessed,
Bill Keller
www.liveprayer.com
My reply:
So does Dr. Keller know that you are replying to viewers so rudely?
Do you think he would approve of what you are sending and calling
people in HIS name?
My my, I think I just might have to call Dr. Keller and tell him what
you do with the emails you get and use his name to respond.
MORE UPDATES*
sure..and let him know YOUR wonderful email ..sorry..we respond to people as they email us..on a plane they can understand..be blessed..and do yourself a favor..quit trying to defend something that is ILLEGAL..it gives you ZERO credibility.. You will be in my prayers, be richly blessed, Bill Keller www.liveprayer.comMe:
First of all, I wasn't defending the illegal use if you had read my
very first email. I was defending medical use of the plant.
Man, are you that dumb that you can't read?
I was defending medical use of marijuana, go back and read it again.
And you can bet when I do call him, I will tell him my emails and
yours that you use his name to talk to people so rudely. And you call
yourself people of God.
Shame on all of you.
His people:
than you were wasting your time since you obviously don't listen..Dr. Keller
wasn't talking bout the less than 1% who use it medicinally..go in peace..
You will be in my prayers, be richly blessed'
Bill Keller
www.liveprayer.com
Me:
Then you weren't paying attention to him. He called ALL marijuana use
evil and toxic.
I am forwarding these nasty replies from supposed people of God to my
local station that airs this program. You should be highly ashamed of
yourselves speaking to people this way.
If you truly cared about getting Mr. Keller's message out to people,
you wouldn't speak so rudely. You would have stressed his points
without all the name calling and berating.
I am thoroughly disgusted that you work for Mr. Keller and he should
fire you for being so rude to his viewers.
You also said he doesn't care about money. Then why after every few
minutes was he asking viewers for money to stay on the air nationwide?
-------
The fun continued until the hysterica climax:
.do what you want..if you think anyone cares what YOU have to say..you are
a bigger kook than you come across....for every whackjob like you..who is
upset..there at 1000 who LOVE Dr. Keller's program.CHANGE THE
CHANNEL..nobody forced you to watch..and nobody forced you to email
US!...oh..go rewatch the program..it si on our website ...and than come back
and apologize for being WRONG..since he specifically talked aobut he less
than 1% who use it medicinally..guess the next time you sit down and send a
nasty email to people you don't know....you might think twice..you were only
responded to in a fashion you would understand based on YOUR email to
US>.now..go away..
You will be in my prayers, be richly blessed,
Bill Keller

Wait, they banned ME for harassment? Are they kidding? Where was I rude? Where did I call them idiots? I get banned from emailing them?
Hell fucking no.
I have 4 regular email accounts and an unlimited supply of Gmail accounts.
See ya tonight at 1:30am Dr. Keller.
We had plans but they got fucked up, so we are going to try again tomorrow.
Everyone will be going to bed early tonight.
We have school supply shopping to do for Sebastian seeing as he has his list, we need to go clothes/shoe shopping etc.
It will be done tomorrow.
If you need to reach me, please email me.
The phone will not be answered tonight because we really all need to get as much rest as possible.
Just two weeks till school starts and too many things to take care of.
Later days.
making great films?
Twelve year old Dakota Fanning is filming one movie right now called Hounddog where she plays a young girl who is physically abused and in one scene is raped. It's a pedophile scene.
Her next upcoming project which she is rumored to play Susie in The Lovely Bones, where the character is raped and murdered and dismembered, and is recalling her story from heaven as she watches her family struggle with her death.
Now where the controversy comes in is here, in Hounddog, the girl is alive all through the movie, she has scenes where she is appeared to be naked and some where she just wears panties.
In Lovely Bones, the character is dead already and they may or may not show her actual rape and murder.
Also, Bones is a well known book, heck, it was on Oprah's book list for a long time, top 10 best seller for months. Hounddog is not.
It's an obscure screenplay, a director who isn't super famous.
Peter Jackson will be making Bones and Deborah Kampmeier is making Hounddog, she only has one other title to her credit and it's called Virgin.
Dakota's mother and her agent, had this to say in regards to her role in Houndog; "as a possible Oscar vehicle for the pint-size star."
Both movies will have the star raped. Both movies are equally disturbing in my book.
People are screaming that allowing the actress to film the scenes herself is akin to actual child abuse and an adult actress should be used as a body double during the scenes.
Do you think it's a form of child abuse to allow a twelve year old to actually film these scenes herself and second, do you think more of a fuss is being made about Hounddog because it's by an unknown director whereas Jackson is very well known?
And third, do you think her mother is off her damn rocker for letting her child star in roles where she will be raped in hopes of her child getting an Oscar?
I personally think her mother is fucking crazy, but I also think Fanning is an excellent little actress. Very reminiscent of Jodie Foster when she was a kid starring in Taxi Driver and other works.
* Really pick up the house, put all kinds of junk that is laying around away. (I have a reason, check private)
* Do dishes.
* Vac.
* Bathrooms.
* Dust.
* Try to organize table again.
* Mail out drug co-payments for the next 5 months. ($34.55 * self note)
* Get Mark to wash the front windows. His fat ass cat has left Nova "sludge" on the windows. I'd take pics but it's just so gross to even think about.
* Try and find school supply lists, hoping websites have them. Sebastian's was on the site, Mark will be able to get his on the 31st at orientation.
* Start making the list of clothes they need. (It's tax free shopping week until this coming Sunday)
* Start making hurricane supply list again. I already have some food stockpiled, but need to get the water, batteries for flashlights and the radio, baby wipes to wash hands etc etc.
* Get direct deposit info ready to be mailed tomorrow.
* Do a load of laundry. Did many loads, all done!
I think that's it but that's enough to keep me busy.
Later days.
"Why has a religious turn of mind always a tendancy to narrow and harden the heart?"
[Robert Burns]
Last night was quite fun.
There are only a few pictures but until I get permission, I can't post them.
Poor guy passed out and you all know what happens to the first to pass out right?
Yup, you get drawn on.
Yes, we are a bunch of school aged children...lol
It started with crayola marker and then the inevitable; "Ms. Kat, do you have any lipstick?"
Sure do, gothic deep purple too.
He got a mustache, a whole bunch of stuff written on him and many little drawings of penii and statements such as I love the cock.
I took all the pics but have to wait before posting, don't want to embarrass the guy further than he already may have been when he woke up at home this morning and looked in the mirror.
I hope he didn't stop for a fast food breakfast anywhere.
I'll show you one pic cuz it's not his face ok?
That's the only thing I wrote on him. Hey, it was my lipstick that got used down to nothing, I had to take a turn. ;)
We are incredibly juvenile. hahahah!
Oh, and I had so much fun with that silly french manicure kit, that I did them in black this time. I like this look better than white...lmao
I am so tired but I can't sleep yet.
We stayed there last night along with a few others. Stayed up talking till like 5:30am. Ouch.
We (Ian and I) drove back around 9:30 this morning, stopped and got some nasty fast food breakfast at Burger King and talked all the way home about various events of the night.
Most classic timing event of the night and most horrible of me, yes I know, I am a wicked awful mean bitch, no one has to tell me this, was when Ian started staring at this one chicks butt and I promptly reminded him what someone else had said regarding her.
"Just keep this in mind Ian, dead fish."
She turns around and says as if on cue; "Did I hear my name?"
I lost it, he lost it. I was laughing so hard I was crying and had to remove myself to the patio because I literally had tears running down my face.
Ok, gonna go find stuff to do until I can't stay awake any longer.
Later days.
Heading out this evening for a pool party at Jimmy's house.
Hopefully will be fun.
You all have a good weekend.
Later days.
When you first meet somebody, you find out they like you- first of all, friend of a friend of theirs says he/she really likes you. It kills you, floors you, sends you to the ground. Then you get their phone number, you call em up and you say 'Yeah, that was a great phone conversation, can I see you sometime?'
Then they say, 'I'd like that.'
'I'd like that' makes you fall on the floor again, your heart's about to stop because of 'I'd like that'.
Nothing feels better than 'I'd like that'.
So now, your blood pressures going, you're 6' off the ground, you cant sleep, because of 'I'd like that'.
So then you hang out for a while and you call and talk on the phone all the time. Then, you drop what feels like the bomb.
You say 'Ya know what, I've been thinking about you a lot'.
She says 'ahhhhhhh', and you ask “What happened', and she says, 'I'm sorry, I've just been thinking about you a lot too.' Bam, higher than the sky.
But 'I'd like that', gone. Now you're on to 'I've been thinking about you'.
Now, however many weeks, months go by, makes you feel comfortable saying 'I gotta tell you something, I'm in love with you', and nothing in the world sounds better than 'I'm in love with you'.
Then maybe she starts crying, or maybe he gasps, and suddenly you're like 'I'm in'.
But now, what doesn't work? 'I'd like that,' and 'I've been thinkin about you.'
Now we're at 'I'm in love with you.'
Maybe some day it moves on to 'I love you,' fast forward to 'I love you a lot', 'I love you more than anything in life,' now 'I love you' doesn't work...
It's a threshold, it keeps moving up.
Fast-forward like 6 months 6 weeks, whatever the case may be, now you're like 'I wanna marry you, I want to impregnate you with my love, I wanna just send my love to you... damnit, words don't work anymore.'
Then, you say this line, you know you have, 'I just wish they'd put a new word in the dictionary bigger than love because love just doesn't describe what i feel.'
So then, now he/she starts asking 'Do you love me?' you go 'Of course i do.'
She says 'Say it!' 'Say it twice', 'Say it 3 times!'
Then you cross a really interesting point where all the sudden it becomes 'I hate you'... and you go 'Oh my god she hates me!' Then it becomes 'I hate you more than anything'. Then its like 'We're over', and they go 'No were not', 'Yes we are', now the words completely don't work at all.
You're left with nothing, you're throwing punches underwater. You're done.
Ya know what the moral of that story is?
NEVER, ever, ever, ever underestimate the power of 'I'd like that.'
Mom, Mark got his birthday card, he says thank you. :)
Terry, I got the book today. Finally. Thank you.
I will be sending a few your way very soon but don't hold your breath. We've see now how long mail takes from Florida to Canada.
Oh yeah, it's raining. Again. Such lovely summer weather we have here in Florida.
Later days.
http://news.yahoo.com/fc/Science/Stem_Cell_Research
WASHINGTON - The House failed Wednesday to override President Bush's veto of a bill to lift his restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. That means the veto stands, killing the measure. The vote was 235-193 to override, 50 votes short of the two-thirds majority required to send the question to the Senate. Bush said the bill crossed a moral line "between science and ethics that can only do damage to both."
Spammers always find new ways of spamming bloggers. You block their key words or their sites, they start new ones.
The latest are forums.
They are using phbb forums now to attack. They got me like 30 times this morning alone.
Little fuckers.
. Sebastian is gone to AI for the day.
. Mark is still sleeping.
. The cats are all being super finicky because I mixed the new food (1/3 of a cup mixed with 2/3 of a cup) with their old food, but they can smell the new stuff and are not happy about it.
. I had to do a forced load of laundry because Kali hacked herself silly on my sheets.
. I have boneless ribs slow cooking all day and the house smells amazingly like a bbq.
. I need to vac the rugs.
. Do the dishes.
Later days.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
EDIT*
Lots of people are emailing me about this site, saying that it's a fraud or an ad for some company.
Even if it is, I don't really care, it's funny as hell to me.
Being a woman scorned, I find this kind of shit amusing.
The Senator.

Oh yeah, you can click it for super size....lol
I think Kali is sick. I can't get close enough to her to check her, she won't come out from hiding which is so not like her at all. This is Kali we're talking about here, Miss loverbutt, Miss pet me all day/night, Miss I love everyone who walks through the door.
She won't come out. She's thrown up a few places.
This is my kitty. I've had her for a little over 9 years now.
Today is the first time she hasn't come to me when I call her or go to the bathroom. Ya know how cats love to go in there with you, it's like they know you have to sit so they have you trapped petting them. She hasn't come out at all. She didn't sleep with me last night.
This just makes me so sad.
I need to get her to come out of hiding and check her nose and stuff.
Maybe it's the cat food cuz of all the throw up, maybe it's just not agreeing with her belly. She's old now so maybe she needs a different food.
Gah. :(
I had kids from Friday afternoon till Saturday morning and then grocery shopping because it's summer vacation and food disappears before I even tasted any of it.
Then I napped.
Then I went out to Ybor City to go play at Gameworks and then Czar for some fun.
I saw the Senator firsthand. That was an experience.
See, the Senator is a well known Ybor figure head.
He's a man in his 50's I'd say who frequents all the nightclubs, mostly the Castle but does wander around to a few others and last night, he graced Czar with his red banana hammock loving self.
Yes, that is all he was wearing. Usually he wears a lace teddy but last night, it was a red silk thong banana hammock.
I will post a pic after the people who dared to take pics of him post theirs.
It's a must see people.
Ian and I drove up there to hang out and have some laughs and laugh we did.
People do the funniest shit when drunk and perhaps I'll post some private stories of the debauchery in awhile. I have some dishes to take care of tonight.
But needles to say, I'm highly amused at the shit people do and say.
Oh, and let's not forget the drama! You simply can't take a group of 50 or more people out together for drinks 
without some drama.
Poor things. Must suck having people talk shit all night but hey, you reap what you sew I say. 
I'll explain privately what I'm referring to after I do the dishes, I promise.
It's kinda too funny to not relate the stories on.
Later days.
I had a terrible time getting to sleep again last night, must have been around 5 when I finally passed out then, the phone rings at 9am.
Sebastian had slept over a friends house last night.
You can already see it coming can't you?
Seb: Mom, morning, I love you. Can me and my friend and his brother come over our house all day and sleep over?
Me: I don't care.
Seb: Really?! You're awesome mom! I love you! Be there in a few hours! Woot! Guys! She said yes! Bye mom!
Me: Bye.
Wait a minute. Back the fuck up.
Since when does I don't care translate to yes?
Holy fuck I'm exhausted and now there will be 4 boys here all day, all night, and I know that kid from next door will find his way over as well.
Holy shit.
Dammit.
I had stuff I had to go do today too.
*bangs head on keyboard repeatedly*
later days.
I bought this kit the other day for $3.99. I love the look of french nails but hate paying someone to do it. It's a minimum of $12 to have any local nail place do it.
So I did them this morning and it came out kick ass.
Yup, I'm that bored that I spent nearly 2 hours doing this to perfection.
God damn, I need to get out of this house and have some fun soon. *bang*
The weather is seriously fucking with my joints man.
Laundry soap.
Cat litter.
Bar soap.
Cat food.
But, that new Loreal pro vive shampoo and conditioner rocks.
You're making me want to kill someone.
Everyday it has rained and been icky out and this has such a weird effect on my body now. I mean, it used to hurt before, tinges of arthritis, but this is like debilitating pain.
I lay in bed, heating pad, pain meds, bengay, all curled up in tons of blankets and hoping the constant chill and ache goes away and it doesn't.
I'm miserable and therefore, I am not up to doing much of anything at all.
I'm here, alive, coping the best I can.
Life is so boring when school is out. It's a constant stream of same shit everyday but I figured I'd post so y'all know I'm not dead.
"People whose history and future were threatened each day by extinction
considered that it was only by divine intervention that they were able
to live at all. I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human being become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of respectability at a commensurate speed."
[Maya Angelou, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", p. 101]
My niece Helena came and spent the day with the boys and I. We went down to Boogie Woogie so she could buy some new cds to listen to on the plane ride home and the store and then ordered pizza and wings, watched Star Wars ep. I because she had never seen it, laughed about when they were all little kids and talked about things back in Maine.
She's a pretty insightful teenager.
We were talking about when the boys and I are going to visit which is still up in the air and stuff and she says; "I know you don't want to go back aunt Kat because you don't want to see my dad."
This is pretty true.
My brother and I still haven't spoken and it's been over 4 years now, maybe even longer.
I'm sure that this little spat is bothersome to our family but what he told his children all those years ago about me, cannot be forgiven.
To keep hanging onto the mistakes of my youth instead of seeing who I have become today, and tell his children those things, is unforgivable in my eyes.
But we had a very nice visit today and tomorrow, they are all heading out again to another park for more fun.
It has been nice seeing her and talking to her about music and things she likes.
I always felt bad that my niece and nephew really never got a chance to know me truthfully because of my brothers ill thoughts.
Someday he is going to have to let it all go and see me for who I am now, not the partying drinking/smoking/dope head, I was in my teens.
Later days.
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.
JUST A REMINDER. 19 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies. You will start to receive sales calls and you will be charged for these calls. To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222. It is the National DO NOT CALL LIST. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years.
Nothing much has been going on, still the same old same old. *sigh*
The boys and sis and Helena went to BG on Sunday and had a great time until it rained them out.
It's a daily occurrence here now. Rain for an hour and then the sweltering heat returns.
I think they are going out again Friday to some other park.
I have new neighbors one street back from me.
They have teenage daughters.
Mouthy, obnoxious ones.
They walk in the middle of the road on the yellow line, refuse to get out of the way for cars, flip people off, call them names etc etc.
This summer with these girls should be fun.
Tonight they called me a whore because I yelled that a car was coming and they should get out of the way.
I went to their house, met their parents. Told them their daughters are gonna hit by a car or beat up if they flip off the wrong person one of these days.
It's a nice neighborhood but it has gradually become what I like to call "thuggish".
At the apartments up the street, it's nothing but ricers or totally modded out cars with fringe hanging from the windows and huge spinning hubcaps. Lots of pants around ass cracks, lots of rap music blaring and yo yo yo, wat up my n*gger shit talk all the time now.
These stupid teen girls walking the yellow line at night no less, are either gonna get smushed by a car or they are gonna get the fucking crap kicked outta them by one of their new neighbors for calling them whores, bitches or assholes.
Don't know where they moved from, but acting all tough at age 13 here is gonna get your ass kicked.
Their parents are very nice, they were quite pissed off though, called the little darlings on their cell phone and told them to get their mouthy little asses home ASAP. Daddy was pissed the fuck off man. Heh.
Told me to wait around for an apology, I said no thanks, just trying to keep them out of trouble. I'd hate to be dialing 911 cuz they got smushed by a big truck.
I've lived on this street 8 years now. It has happened before. Lots of animals get killed, kids on bikes get hit, speeders, old grannies with bad eyesight. I've seen it all and too much of it.
Ok, time to go do something. What I have no idea but I'm sure I'll find a way to entertain myself.
Later days.
My niece Helena flew back with my sister after their trip to Maine, she's here for 10 days and today, sis, the girls, Helena and the boys, are all going to the beach and then her house and then a special trip tomorrow.
I'm going to have the house completely to myself. I like it and I don't.
I get very bored very quickly.
I'll find something to do, hopefully.
I wish I was able to go do all this stuff with them but I can't. Next year though, it's on. There will be no more sitting home wishing I was there riding coasters and playing in the sand and water.
I so miss all the little trips to do fun stuff but my body still can't handle all of it.
Oh well.
Guess I better go help the boys get all their stuff ready to go.
Have a great weekend.
Later days.
