Leprosarium?!!!!!!

23:01 Mar 31 2008
Times Read: 980


Bloodlife asked me about the Leprosarium entry in Exhalations and I wrote an answer in response. I thought a few of you might find it interesting as well, so I'm including it here, slightly edited.



BLOODLIFE wrote: How the blazes do you do it (Leprosarium)?!!!!!! What inspires you ...



Joli wrote: Well, I actually visited the Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana. While nowhere near its heyday of 400+ patients, there are still residents who wish to live out their days there. It is the last functioning center of its kind in the United States.



Patients were brought there in chains sometimes and local residents threatened to shoot any who escaped the grounds, so it became a sort of prison. Mothers were not allowed to have babies there, etc...



There was an order of nuns who cared for them called the Daughters of Charity. They were nurses, researchers, and faces of compassion who tried to make time there as enjoyable as possible. It became a self-contained "village" with its own grocery store, post office, and the hallways were so long, that residents rode bicycles and tricycles indoors. They still do. I will never forget how eerie that was to see people riding to their rooms along the hallway where I was walking.



It was surreal and otherworldly. You cannot help but think that the rules that apply to the world you know are not in effect in that place. I saw gurneys and old wheelchairs that gave me chills, tucked into a dark room that was cracked open. There are still bars across the windows and an abandoned guard tower outside.



Most of the things I encounter that become entries here practically write themselves. They bump around inside me and demand to be heard. How could you visit a place like Carville and NOT write about it?!



*Please note that I do recognize that "leper" is an offensive term and I would only ever refer to the disease as Hanson's Disease if I were speaking on the subject. I chose the more charged word for literary effect.

That is really fascinating. I love getting to read your works and hearing the stories behind them makes them all the more impressive, I think :)

Do you guys know about Angel Food Ministries? It is a great way for you to save money on your groceries. Everyone can participate and no "qualifying" questions are ever asked. This is not a program "for the poor," although it can certainly help them as much as anyone. It's for anyone who wants to save money on groceries.



Photobucket




The way it works is, for $30 you get a bunch of food, mainly frozen meats. The menu changes every month and you are never obligated or pressured to order...you don't "join" anything. Just order if you like the food that month. If you order one regular $30 unit, you can opt to buy the specials...usually 3 or 4 specials are offered - steak and chicken boxes are pretty common, but they change, too. The food is all quality, not "seconds" and most of it will have a brand name you'll recognize.



You order the food and pay for it in advance, then show up on distribution day at the end of the month. It is offered all over the U.S. and there's probably a location near you. Check on it...you may save a lot!



I volunteer, taking orders a time or two a month, then on distribution Saturday, which is the last Saturday of most months (a little earlier in November and December for the holidays.) I have seen people return month after month with friends, pleased with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the volunteers.



Here is a link to all the host sites and info about Angel Food.

[20:58:15] Joli : I'll be over here staring into Moony's bewbs for all the answers. When you let them go pendulous, Moony, hypnotize Stabb's 12 lb weiner away. Be a luv.

[20:58:44] CountessMoon : *gasp* I am just bewbs to you aren't I? *tear*

[20:58:50] CountessMoon : *puts hand over forehead*

[20:58:59] Joli : JUST?!

[20:58:59] STABB666 : I like mine to be a bit lighter...more easily maneuverable...

[20:59:40] CountessMoon : I am THE boob.

[20:59:43] Joli : well shit, stabb...why not attach handles and a kick start motor?

[21:00:15] Joli : like a weed whacker

[21:00:36] CountessMoon : Does it come with eye protection?

[21:00:38] Sevenn : that is an idea that deserves a patent, Joli

[21:00:49] Joli : that's why I have boobs

[21:01:17] CountessMoon : and a squeegee?

[21:01:33] Joli : I'll go in halfsies with you, Sevenn. We can get those 501 C-3s going now!

[21:01:54] Sevenn : lol...I'm sure someone would fund it

[21:02:06] STABB666 : If you are a charity, does that mean I have to give it to you for free?

[21:02:17] Joli : we'll kick it off with a raw oyster bar

[21:02:32] Sevenn : and crab salad...

[21:02:37] Morrigon : crab?!? mmmmm

[21:02:40] Sevenn : heh

[21:02:44] Joli : uh

[21:02:47] STABB666 : NO SHELLFISH!

[21:03:07] Joli : birra, you created a monster

[21:03:08] meeper : Squid!!!!!!

[21:03:13] CountessMoon : *backs away slowly*

[21:03:31] birra : she is

[21:03:39] Sevenn : ok we will give it a fancy italian name for you CM...calamari!

[21:03:43] Joli : that meeper is quiet, but when she talks, she gets it!

[21:03:58] STABB666 : i also am not particular to invertebrates...

CountessMoon : calamari is like eating a condom.. they both taste like a used rubber. Or so I've heard.

[21:04:19] Morrigon : I just like seafood....

[21:04:31] birra : have you ever had calamari?

[21:04:41] Joli : i think your forum moderating proves that, Stabb

[21:04:44] Sevenn : honestly, CM, things like that have to be done by people that know how to cook them

[21:04:51] Morrigon : a good tasting condom

[21:04:59] meeper : random word association is grand

[21:05:13] meeper : ewww

[21:05:24] STABB666 : I've never tasted a good condom...

[21:05:32] CountessMoon : I have had it once.. and it was... not my idea of a fun thing to eat. lol[21:05:38] Sevenn : what do you mean ewww? you said you liked mint

[21:05:51] meeper : do you often taste them Stabb? They make some flavored ones that really aren't half bad

[21:06:13] Sevenn : ohh...ok...I stand corrected...*ahem*

[21:06:30] STABB666 : i had it once...in a chinese seafood selection...it wasn't till i saw a sucker that I gagged...

[21:06:48] STABB666 : i would think that a condom would have about the same texture as calamari[21:07:11] CountessMoon : I find something odd about putting a banana flavored condom on something that can be oddly shapped like a banana and inserted into where some people should never insert bananas. [21:07:30] meeper : and yet some people do CM

[21:07:52] CountessMoon : That they do.. and.. people in ER's laugh at them

[21:08:00] STABB666 : banana? sheesh...they ought to be a bit more adventurous....like...a pineapple..

[21:08:03] Morrigon : I don't think banana flavored condoms are supposed to be inserted

[21:08:12] Morrigon : I'm sure they have pineapple

[21:08:17] Sevenn : they are supposed to be sucked

[21:08:32] STABB666 : oh...i thought....inserting...

[21:08:34] Sevenn : ...just saying...for the record...

[21:08:36] CountessMoon : Until the flavor is gone? and then insert?

[21:08:58] Morrigon : I don't know Moonie

[21:09:08] Sevenn : you guys are perverts

[21:09:14] CountessMoon : Or is it like gum? you suck the flavor out of it and then throw it away?

[21:09:16] meeper : Its like that gum that lasts forever

[21:09:17] STABB666 : why not get some fruity flavoured ones, then add some flavoured lube....like a pudding with sauce!

[21:09:42] Morrigon : dude no

[21:09:49] CountessMoon : Get all the right flavors and you can have a banana slit..erm.. split.

[21:09:51] Sevenn : thats perfectly reasonable Stabb

[21:10:01] Morrigon : Stabb you have the worst ideas

[21:10:05] STABB666 : a fruit cocktail?

[21:10:19] Morrigon : ok

[21:10:48] Sevenn : Morrigon! I disagree! Stabb is describing a tasty treat!

[21:11:03] Morrigon : well you go ahead then hah

[21:11:17] STABB666 : I would try that out....

[21:11:25] STABB666 : if I had to...

[21:11:33] STABB666 : for a dare...

(This is a somewhat edited log of the other night where a group of us had a very rare chance to just goof off and be silly without being public. It was a great group of friends and sharing VR with this group is a real joy.)

[20:42:14] Sevenn : Stabb, its not as fun when you own the boob

[20:42:42] STABB666 : see, thats where I always wondered...how do you even make it out of bed?

[20:42:46] Sevenn : hold your balls with no intention, same thing

[20:42:58] STABB666 : ahhh

[20:43:13] Joli : balls are SO not the same as boobs

[20:43:23] STABB666 : no, not at all

[20:43:27] Morrigon : squishy haha

[20:43:31] Sevenn : its an ownership thing I am trying to describe here...

[20:43:39] STABB666 : hairier, for one

[20:44:12] CountessMoon : I just have.. some image of someone jingling balls.. and rolling boobs. That's... alll I got.

[20:49:10] Joli : a small lathery bathing suit

[20:49:17] STABB666 : a really tight bathing suit...

[20:49:22] Sevenn : I was having a "mean" day, but thankfully I am relaxing.

[20:49:33] Morrigon : HAH

[20:49:36] CountessMoon : Make sure the top has some good support.. I'd hate to see you with a concussion.

[20:49:45] STABB666 : I like when you mean business Sevenn...

[20:49:47] Joli : by bathing suit, I mean more of a steam and soap trail

[20:49:55] STABB666 : lol

[20:50:01] Morrigon : what are you people talking about?

[20:50:10] birra : relaxing is good

[20:50:17] Joli : I have no clue...they just won't stop

[20:50:19] Sevenn : thats because you like a stern disciplinarian, Stabb ;)

[20:50:21] birra : so what is the relaxant tonight? rum? whiskey?

[20:50:28] Joli : nasty nasty things

[20:50:31] Morrigon : oooh whiskey?

[20:50:32] STABB666 : oh, I do...

[20:50:35] meeper : Twisted Tea

[20:50:38] Morrigon : *stares sweetly at Birra*

[20:50:52] birra : oh my gawd...

[20:50:53] Sevenn : youghurt and juice for Irony, beer for normal people ;)

[20:51:11] Joli : I have one Purple Haze left

[20:51:22] birra : oh no.. weiner games under the desk.

[20:51:33] Morrigon : ohh

[20:51:41] Irony : chances are I am more out of it than a lot of you:D

[20:51:44] Morrigon : that's a TERRIBLE thing to say when we're both sitting in the office Brra

[20:51:44] STABB666 : I think I shall just save this log....

[20:51:53] Morrigon : sheesh

[20:51:59] birra : heh... hey, he's your weiner.

[20:52:15] Joli : oh god

[20:53:11] birra : I have officially scared Joli.

[20:53:17] birra : Damn. I'm good.

[20:53:24] Sevenn : that reminds me of the 80's movie where I should put a ghettoblaster (how rascist is that) on my shoulder outside your window...

[20:53:50] Sevenn : I'm not afraid of birras weiner: thats Morrigons issue

[20:53:50] CountessMoon : *snort*

[20:54:16] Joli : not so much fear as how visual I am

[20:54:18] Morrigon : You're god damn right it is

[20:54:27] birra : no, no... it's morri's weiner.

[20:54:29] Joli : wait...no...it's fear

[20:54:58] Joli : so, that's established

[20:55:03] Morrigon : that just sounds funny

[20:55:05] STABB666 : how big is it

[20:55:10] Joli : stop saying it!

[20:55:14] Morrigon : over 12 inches

[20:55:22] STABB666 : wang![

[20:55:25] Morrigon : I can barely keep it under control

[20:55:30] birra : weighs, what? about 12 pounds?

[20:55:49] STABB666 : like a rattlesnake....

[20:55:55] birra : her weiner is chewing on a squeaky toy right now...

[20:56:07] Joli : birra, you were almost buying me a new laptop

[20:56:11] Sevenn : Its probably tasty with saurkraut and mustard

[20:56:16] Irony : Oh, is that the really cute one I saw pictures of?

[20:56:25] Morrigon : haha

[20:56:26] Joli : I came SO close to spewing it with soda when I read the 12 lb wang

[20:56:31] birra : did I catch you mid-drink joli?

[20:56:43] Morrigon : hellz yeah

[20:56:52] Joli : you did

[20:57:07] CountessMoon : I... learned something new tonight. Interesting...

[20:57:09] Irony : I certainly would:D

[20:57:10] STABB666 : don't be fooled. she loves to squirt it all over the keyboard...

[20:57:16] Morrigon : wait what?

[20:57:17] birra : they love stroking your weiner, morri...

Morrigon, congratulations on making Acolyte! You are going to be an even greater asset to VR. Your passion and desire for standards are contagious. Here is a sample of our new acolyte in action in the forum, answering questions about posting rules in the vampbox:

It's best to remain polite while asking questions.



When it comes to things like religion, violence, and sexual topics, treat it the same way you would as if you were posting in the main forum.



Any time someone steps over the line, a Dominar will handle it as they see fit, they have been given that position and are trusted to take each situation as a case by case deal.



If they feel something is inappropriate, *Zip* it's gone. No arguing.

This is my Dad's Favorite Joke.

OK, Bloodlife, let's see if I can outdo you on naughty nun jokes. I knew this joke before I knew how to say, "da da." If you liquor up my dad and he starts telling it, my sister and I will likely murder you with our dinner spoons. Without further ado:



A novitiate to the Order takes her vow of silence and lives an austere and cloistered life of hard work, scrubbing floors, planting, harvesting, early morning matin prayers and evening vespers. Her cell is bare and the rations are sparse.



After 10 years of back-breaking labor, she is brought before the Mother Superior and offered the reward of speaking her first two words in all the many years she's served. She stays up all night wanting to make her words count. Next morning, she says to Mother, "Food Bad." The Mother thanks her and ushers her back into the convent and another 10 years of the same.



Upon her 20th anniversary, she is offered the same reward. After much thought, she speaks her carefully chosen words, "Bed hard." Mother again thanks her and she resumes her stern life.



At her 30th anniversary, the same honor is given her. This time, she quickly speaks her two words, "I quit."



The Mother Superior quipped, "About time...all you've done is bitch bitch bitch since you got here!"

Being that a Grizzly can hit 30Mph over a quarter mile, which is faster than the average human, and that we can climb trees, have excellent sense of smell, plus I'm psychic, I don't think you'll be getting too far...



I like good sport, the thrill of the hunt, the stealthy stalking of the ninja killer. You have a head start- it's all good. I can wait. Bears are rather good at waiting. Especially we British.



And the aim thing. Well, I have one phrase to remind you of: "Friendly Fire". Bright ORANGE flashes on our tanks. We get bombed by Americans. Bright green day-glo nightvision markers on our helmets. We get shot by Americans. Don't talk to me about aim.



The British army invented the sniper, btw.



I come from the loins of elite soldiers. I was born to kill before my enemy knows they're already dead.



Remember 'Vampirika'? No, of course you don't. He is dead by my hand. Well, mostly his own, but in the best tradition of The Ninja, all it took was the slightest nudge at the right moment and he proceeded to cut his own heart out.



Pooh Bear is meagre next to the doom which awaits you, dear fellow.

I'm at peace. Sometimes we are misunderstood, but I know who I am. I know myself and my heart. If anyone mistakes that for their own reasons, that is their right.



Know me or do not. I am careful where I invest my heart and my care. Even so, sometimes I still find a way to misplace it. It can be sad to discover that, but I am adult enough to handle disappointment in other people. I can handle this, too.



Perhaps some day, when you re-add your careful math, you will find a vital error. Perhaps you will never re-check, and that's ok, too. Much peace to you.

Last Night

My sister was cast in a play called Tony and Tina's Wedding. It's an interactive play where the audience is actually part of the wedding. My mom had head about the auditions and encouraged us both to try out. Erin went...I didn't. I was kinda sorry last night when I saw how fun it was and how much I miss performing when i get close to it and see others doing it.



Erin actually used to belong to an improv group and this play called for a huge amount of improv. She played the pregnant maid of honor, Connie. The bridesmaids all wore hideous red dresses and stiletto shoes. After the play, I was invited out with the cast to get drinks and sushi. We laughed and laughed. It was so fun to go out and just be social again. I worry sometimes that I've forgotten how, but there was an ease about last night that reminds me that I need to do things like that now and then.



Oh, and Vespers...I drank a beer last night that reminded me of you.

Sooooo...apparently you can block someone and not even realize it. I imagine that if you were to do such a thing, it might be really embarrasing once you found out. Your friend can't tell you. So, what might she do?



She might leave little breadcrumbs about to see if you follow the trail. Imagine how silly you'd feel once you realized that you'd stepped over that trail thinking, "I wonder who she set that out for," when on day 3, she felt it necessary to put a Las Vegas Sign with your name in blinking neon pointing at the little bread trail.



The fictional person who might do such a thing...let's call her Schmoli... would probably say sheepish things like, "I'm obviously a moron." or perhaps, "You are one of the coolest people on this site and I'd never block you, even if I were mad at you. Maybe if you put a paypal button and asked for birthday presents...or recanted your bi-ness...or red-penned me...or made a list of the things I need to do in order to please you. Nah, not even then."



HEY! There's a list I want to see you do. How about a list that mocks the list of what men need to do to please women. The "What You Need To Do To Please Morri List"



Love you, girl...and I'm not just a moron...I'm bi ;)

Odd factoids about me

05:27 Mar 11 2008
Times Read: 1,651


Morri's second challenge about random stuff. OK, I'm gonna give it a go, but my hesitation stems from hers being SO good.







I actually love my vegetables boiled to a nice, soft, mushy, and unmistakably dead state.



I hate shopping, unless it's for linens. I LOVE the feel of cool quality bedsheets on bare legs. And towels should be big, soft, and ridiculously fluffy.



I like ice in my coffee.



The back of my car is a wreck, but my desk is freakishly immaculate.



I hate different colored thumbtacks on a bulletin board.



I buy cheap laundry detergent, but drive out of my way for Diva additives because the smell is amazing.



I can put on my makeup in under 2 minutes when I'm running late...and yes, it looks like it.



I briefly worked as a waitress in a Viet Namese restaurant and one of my few memories in my life of ever yelling is at the owner as I quit, "Keep Dragon Lady OFF ME!"



My first near sexual encounter never happened because I couldn't recover from a nervous giggling fit when I realized I had on my mother's bra.



I foolishly let a man who loved me go because he "embarrassed" me.



I try to suppress my anger at grocery stores who design shelves well above the reach of anyone below 5'6." I get southern instead, "excuse me, sir...could you reach the brussels sprouts for me? teehee." GRRRRRRRRRRR What? Short chicks don't like leafy greens?!



My grandfather used to push his false teeth out with his tongue to scare the crap out of us as kids. But I secretly thought it was kinda cool.



My great-uncle Tootsie (lost toes in an unfortunate mowing accident) would take out his teeth at family reunions and sing, "Jolie Blonde," a sure sign that the party had indeed begun.



I take really good care of my teeth! :)



My daughters are both black belts in Taekwondo. Look out boys.



I absolutely love my job and can't imagine ever wanting to do anything else.



I can't wink.



I have trouble not raising my hand when people ask for volunteers.



I can do a mean cajun accent by request.



I am baffled when anyone suggests that the cajun accent is "hot."



I prefer skirts to pants, with the exception of blue jeans.



I haven't owned a coat since I was a child.



I think Indian curry smells like armpit.



T.S. Eliot's "Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock" sometimes makes me cry.



A hug or compliment when I'm sad will always crack my composure.



The entitlement and victim mentality of my country crushes me into a ball of frustration.



I genuinely find at least one incredible thing every day that takes my breath away or reminds me to swallow that lump in my throat because of gratitude of someone's company, action, or just a seemingly random event that is tinged with some personal meaning for me.

Furry Roomies

Times Read: 1,739


Morri writes about the urge to have pets...or animal friends, as she prefers. I understand the term, because none of the animals I have shared a home with ever felt particulary "owned" to me. More like I own the responsibility when they mess up something and share in the sweetnesses they usually provide. But she got me thinking about the process...how did I come to have these furry aliens in my home?



caitlin 12




We met Meatball about 6 years ago now. He was lost and nosing through trash. He's a lovely collie-looking fella that makes you think, "awwww Lassie needs a hand." We took him in and began getting him cleaned up and fed. He was obviously someone's pet...well-behaved indoors and appreciative of affection. He was covered in ticks which...ewwwww! If there is anything worse than trying to remove ticks from a thickly-coated dog, I can't think of it.



We had no dog food and since we were having spaghetti that night, he shared our dinner, forever becoming "Meatball" for us. We made signs and tacked them up everywhere. Nobody responded. Two weeks later, when we realized nobody was likely to claim him, we became concerned about his persistent cough. I took him to the vet who diagnosed him with progressive heartworms. It was a death sentence for a stray. But by this point, we loved him. He became our $1000.00 free dog.



We had to keep him completely still. He was still puppyish at an estimated 1 year old. The medicine made him terribly sick as it poisoned the worms inside him. But our guy made it through. He is the kind of doggy that herds you wherever you should be, lies at your feet, and cries when you leave. He wants nothing more than to be EVERYWHERE you are.



He catches frisbees, has eaten a loaf of bread carelessly left on the counter, knows the word, "outside," would sell me for the chance to catch a cheerio in his mouth, will bark at you if you threaten me or my girls, isn't happy until he catches a skateboard and kills it - wheels up, and will NOT eat a Cheetoh even if you hide it inside food he loves, begging the question, What's in a cheetoh?! I mean, he doesn't have a very discriminating palate...he licks his own butt and prefers a freshly flushed potty over a water dish. I am now incredibly suspicious of the Cheetoh.



One of my favorite things about him, though, is his all-encompassing desire to please. If you place a favorite treat in front of him and calmly say, "stay," you can walk out of the room and do other things. When you come back, he will be covered in drool, but that treat will be there until you say, "ok, you can have it." I know the second I walk in the door if he's been naughty. He will stand back, head lowered, as if to say, "I knew I shouldn't, but I couldn't help it and now you're gonna fuss. I knew this was coming and stressed all day. I'm a bad boy." I glance at him and say, "Ok, what did you do? Where is it?" Invariably, I find the empty bread sack. My dog is a carb-loader. You don't leave bread or cookies down any more than you'd leave a bottle of booze in the house with an alcoholic.



He's a great dog. One time we went on vacation and the neighbor girl we paid to look in on him forgot. We'd left plenty of food and water, but he never got to go outside. This dog actually peed in duplo blocks and on a towel in the bathroom. How do I interpret that other than that he wanted not to pee the carpet? His waste was also in the bathroom. Too bad he can't reach the potty...but since he can't flush, he'd probably decide that going in his water bowl was nasty.



I love this awesome ball of fur I get the privilege of knowing.

.................................................................................



The cat is the devil.



I mean that literally. I am convinced that the cat wants my soul. She will likely suck it from my nose while I'm sleeping.



She entered our lives during a rare weak moment on my part. You may have guessed by the tone change that I am not a cat person. I have met cat people. I am not one.



Our lives changed in my family last year due to a sad event. My oldest daughter looked at me like only a kid can..."Mom, you know what would bring us closer together as a family? A kitten." *blink blink* I usually wear armor well suited against such attacks. But I was ambushed by a relative's litter of kittens and a child's lovely big eyes blinking at my guilty conscience. Enter Savoir Faire, "Savvy" to her minions.



Something is not right about this creature. Since kittenhood, she has liked to hang upside down. I mean that she will wriggle in your arms until all that you have are her haunches and she stretches her paws and dangles that way. She is also perfectly happy to drape around your neck like a stoll. Her bread is definitely not all the way baked.



I have learned to walk through my home with care. I do not know from where or when the attack will occur, but it WILL come. I am grateful that she saves me cardiology money, though. I need no heart tests as I learned on the day she leapt on me from the curtain rod and I didn't die.



I am further grateful that she has allowed me to continue living here. As long as I accept that all the furniture is hers and my hands belong to her, we are ok. If she paid the bills, I'd swear I was her pet. In fact, lately, I've started thinking I may be the indentured servant and she is the overlord exacting taxes. I work...she luxuriates.



The dog looks at me as she eats the first bites of his food before moving to her catfood dish, just because she can. I look back at him and say, "What? I just live here...I'm open for suggestions." I'm pretty sure he rolled his eyes when he thought I wasn't looking. But we both have a good cuddle while she eats the cheetohs we toss to her.
