I was looking back on my April 2007 journal and found this. Gosh... how silly can I be. But still- even today I an honored to click on that button and step into the walls of House Eternal.



House Eternal.

03:10:03 - Apr 16 2007



I feel I have to put something here… so bare with me on this. I asked to be released from my Coven a while ago as I felt I was not pulling my weight, so to speak, and I was not looking for another.



Connie has asked me to join Jason’s House, but see… that is Connie’s place. She is earning 500 favors a week, has several jobs, and friends that she loves talking too. Other then Connie, I have never talked to anyone from that house. I love my sister, but I just did not feel like I needed to be there.



VR is the website I go to chill, to relax. I do not want a job; I do not want anyone to look at me to do anything for him or her. Nothing. I just want to be me, lurking, talking to the few friends that I have.



Some Covens have asked me to join, even a member in a House, who has the power to be, asked me to join his. I thanked each, but held off. Why? Same reason I guess… felt they expected something from me. I mean I am not stupid- the sire level was a plus, and the way Connie explains it my profile and portfolio is rated well.



*shrugs* I just like it to be pretty. LOL It is the Martha Steward in me.



When I received a message from imagesinwords…well…I though I had done something terrible first. Then my “Oh Oh” went to “Ah hell no!” LOL After reading it two times to make sure I understood it, I shut off the laptop, as I had to leave the office. I called Connie, who threatens to beat me if I joined it, then laughed and told me to do what I wanted.



I called Nita and she told me the same, without the threat of course. I told her that I was not the type they ask in, as I have what...60? postings to the forum. I stay under the radar, and keep to my self mostly. She called me “Colonial Jack O’Neill” of StarGate. *smiles* She always knows what to say. Still the doubt stayed with me. What if she made a mistake asking me?



When I returned to the office I sent back a message to her, asking her to check my profile and my journals as that is the real me. I also explain how I was unwilling to give much time to the House, as far as favors or postings. I mean…rude of me, I know, but how mad would she be if I mislead her? I sent this message along with how I would understand if she changed her mind. I mean…I am not a Prize in the VR box of Crackle Jacks, more like the crumbles in the bottom.



My profile is just me all presentable, as my mother would say. My journal is what I am really like. She tells me she has read both, online and off, and ask me to petition the house to join. So… I sit there, having never seen her in my journal (yes- I am not the sharpest tool in the shed) and realized just whom I am talking to. Wow. So… she did not make a mistake. I have done all I could to warn her of my faults, and what to except of me. I believe the words that left my mouth were “Well hell.”



Well then, now what? I remember as a Whelp looking at the House Eternal homepage. The words of “Do not ask to join us, we will ask you” came to mind after reading it and I left, knowing I would never be in this House, the only one that is set up this way. I mean…it is a club folks. A club you are invited into. Still stun, I knew I had to make a decision.



I have read Dark Rider last journal entry about how some people took his Coven/House hopping as a bad thing. I thought to try that, but seeing his problems, I was backing away from it. It comes down to if I wanted to be in any House or Coven, and which one. Did I want to join House Eternal?



The answer was a big fat YES! I sent the petition in and waited. From Connie I understand membership is voted on in her House, and I wonder if it was the same in this House. If so, my mind told me to expect a no, and I would understand. I mean- what have I done to impress these people? Still… I really wanted in.



As of last night I have was let in. I became a member of House Eternal. Imagesinwords journal entry for today tells us the house is only as good as the member’s activity. I will be active, but I might need a little time to see how the place is. I have been known to speak before I think, so I will need some time to learn, to relax around these people.



I do not know why I put this here…guess I just wanted to get it off my chest. I am honored to be in the House, and I will try my best at being active. Ok, that is it all I have to say about it.



Well one more thing. *Rat does Snoopy Dance* I am in House Eternal!!











*** I remember Images sent me a message that she liked my Snoopy dancing. lol

catching up on things that took too much time and effort from me. Things that needed done.



1. I paid off a loan at the bank that was hanging over my head. Yeah!



2. I changed some items at work- hoping the changes will bring less worry to me.



3. I made some calls to the State Transportation Dept. that I had been putting off for a while. Changes in the wind on seveal things are coming. Change is good- right?



4. Worked on a project that I finally set the amounts on- using what I felt was right. We will find out in a year if we made money or lost.



5. Even did some things on VR. I made a list of what I liked doing/ what felt like a duty. That lead me to deleating an account on VR.



And of all these I see was needed a long time ago. *sigh* Yes... been a long time in the making.



:) Feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

You know the tale- I rated the person as a whelp, new member and gave her a six. Now she has a paid membership and about a month ago she rated me with the same. As she just left a stamp- I left it alone. If you don't get pissy about it then I don't care about my rating enough to worry about it.



But she keeps coming over every week and giving me the same rate, and stamp. What? She thinks a 6 every week counts? :) Four 6's so far and still she thinks its going to hurt me. Does she think it is 24 points off me?



Only person who can say anything about my rate is Images, House Master. And I just don't see that happening. Soooo keep giving me those 6's, and I will keep getting a smile from them.



Little thing is just so cute. *pinch her cheeks*



lol See you next week.

THE FROG



An older lady was somewhat lonely and decided she needed a pet to keep her company. So, off to the pet shop she went. She searched and searched. None of the pets seemed to catch her interest, except this ugly frog. As she walked by the jar he was in, she looked and he winked at her.



He whispered, 'I'M SO LONELY, TOO. BUY ME AND TAKE ME HOME. YOU WON'T EVER BE SORRY.'



The old lady figured, what the heck! She hadn't

found anything else. So, she bought the frog. She placed him in the car, on the front seat beside her. As she was slowly driving down the road, the frog whispered to her 'KISS ME AND YOU WON'T BE SORRY.'



So the old lady figured, WHAT THE HECK, and kissed the frog. IMMEDIATELY the frog turned into anabsolutely gorgeous, sexy, young, handsome prince.



THE PRINCE THEN RETURNED THE OLD LADY'S KISS. SUDDENLY THE OLD LADY FELT HERSELF TRANSFORMING FROM HIS KISS. NOW CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THE OLD LADY TURNED INTO?



COME ON GUESS!









OOOOOOOHHHHHHH COME ON -- DON'T BE A POOP!



SHE TURNED INTO THE FIRST HOLIDAY INN SHE COULD FIND!!!



She's old.......NOT DEAD!!!!!



Hmmm you know we have two or three pets stores in town.... lol

Images journal about Billy Joel has me going back to my childhood music. Who does not know this song by just the first few keys of the piano?



:) I still get a smile from this song. And a urge to shack my hips, butt a little.









CCR- Ever Seen the Rain?







That song was my mothers favorite. :)



Dad liked this one- Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons. He would sing to it and truth told he was/is a good singer. :) But what do you expect- he is cousin to the Coal Miners Daughter. And if you don't know who that is.... shame on you. lol

So Friday I went and made a walk thru for a estimate. It was for the Fourth preacher to be moved by us in June. *sigh*



He lives in an older home with three levels. I followed him, asking him to slow down on the stairs as my back was sore. That got us talking about his own back problems, and hip replacement, knees surgery. OK...



He asked if I was going to a doctor as he could tell me the names of several- I said I was leaving him and going to my Dr. appointment, then home to rest.



He and his wife asked if they could pray for me. I said yes... then they lowered their heads. Ok- you mean right now??? I closed my eyes and lowered my head as he spoke those words of healing and strength.



That touched me. Truly it did and stayed with me all weekend. I went to the Dr, went to the office and worked up his estimate and was in my bed by noon.



Today in an email he was confirming the jobs dates, booking us for the move. At the end he asked me to let him know how my back was as he and his wife had been thinking of me and praying for me.



O.O



Ahhhhhh..... That was sweet. A little odd, in a ‘you don’t know me’ kind of way, but sweet. I sent back the back was a lot better, and thanked him and his wife for their concern.



I don't know what bothers me more - that I am thinking that is odd for people to do, or that I am bothered by people who do it for someone they don't know at all.



Hmmm



Either way it doesn't say much about me, does it?

Hmmm...



You know- I think people just make journal entrys to just see what happens. Like the ones that read "You know its over- so stop spreading shit." Ever think people just do that to get attention? That nothing is going on, but you give them attention?



Even if its one of my friends I usually leave those type of comments alone as its nothing to do with me. If you want to talk about something- you know I am here. Gods knows unless you tell me about it I will not know anything that is going on here on VR.

Words of wisdom from Morrigon:



"In my eyes, if you dislike me, I must be doing something right because you're a complete idiot."



Loves the Otter.



If you want to know something about a person- look at those who hate them. Look at those who have problems with that person and ask yourself why they do. Because they did not bow down at their feet? Because they tried to stop the person from doing something? Because they went left when they was told to go right?



What people have said of others, talking of what they seen as bad points I see a good ones. What they took as a person not being a friend- I see as a person who stands up for what she or he believed in. They did not cave under pressure.



Those are the ones who will be my friends.



I have learned a long time ago to judge a person by their enemies as well as their friends. If I don't like you, or I see you as a person I might do business with- I look at those you call enemies. And I learn what you don't like, what it takes for you to turn on me. It shows the type of person you are. I started doing this with with people I was working with- but it moved into my personal life as well.



And those who have no enemies- are the ones I stay away from. If you live you will have enemies. And that is the way it should be.



Why? Because you should not be able to please every person you meet if you stand by your morals, your beliefs.... if you are a true friend to one, you will make a few enemies.

This song has been on my mind of late. Few weeks back we did a delivery that involved a long carry from the road, walking along a path right next to a set of railroad tracks. I was carrying the light items, enjoying the nice weather, when I notice my father coming up the path with a small load himself. My father is walking a lot slower these days. I get impatient with him, annoyed at the time it takes him to do something that should only take a minute. I stood, and watched my father take slow steps, his body aged with the hard work he has done all his life.



Work that has given me a very soiled life, a loving and caring family to grow up in. While he was on the road all of my first 20 years- I always knew he was my father. I meet him at the end of the path and took the load, telling him he needed to stay with the truck as it was parked on the road and would have to be moved if a car came up the road. He turned away, saying he was just trying to help. Gods – I can be such a bitch. My father should be treated with respect, and he has his pride. I was trying to keep him from working, but he sees it as me bossing him, saying he is not worth having around.



That is a very fine line you have to walk with him. I gave myself an inner slap in the face and took the items on the trailer the lady was storing her items in. Just as I was catching up with my father on the small pathway a train was coming down the track. You could almost reach out and touch the train it was so close. He had stopped, and I stood beside him. I asked him about the train motor, the power it would take to move all the loaded train cars with coal. We talked of the weight each train car held. I just took a few minutes and enjoyed being with my father.



Yesterday as I sat down with my back hurting, he said to me he wished I had gone to collage. I could of- we had the money, was given the choice. But I am not the type of person to sit in a room for hours, and was hard press to finish high school. He said he wished he had made me gone to collage as he could see I would have his life. When I said I enjoyed my work- he said I always took to the work like a duck to water. “But your body will turn against you. Your back and knees will hurt as mine does and your hands…” He stood, looking down at his rough hands; fingerprints rub off from all the furniture and boxes he had carried all his life, cracked skin that no amount of lotion would soften. “I just wished you had a better life then I did.” I notice the ….. anger? Worry? Fear? in his words. I could only tell him I loved my job, and my back would get better and that I enjoyed my life. He never said anything else to me.



But my father and my mother have given me a wonderful life, given me so much. But this song… it just speaks to me at this time in my life. I need to make time- to step back and pay attention to what the song is saying. I need to see my father as the man he is.... before it is to late.

Went to see a doctor today. Back is better- but I can not stand for longer then 30 mins or so before I am hurting so bad I have to sit. Been taking med's- but faced it was time to let a doctor see it as it's been a week. He was nice- making me bend and stretch to see how far I can before I feel pain.



3 XRays, order to take a week, at least, off work to rest (sooo not going to happen) and to take the med's he gave me. So this weekend is a healing weekend for me.



Taking the Lortab :) ... love that stuff... its like... back? I have back problems? lol and Ibuprofen of 2400 mg a day ... thinking this will help me more then anything... and Flexeril for relaxation.



I have no idea how people take these things all the time, become addicted to them. All I want to do is sleep. But I will give it this... makes my head feel like its floating on a cloud. *smiles*



With this said- me and the bed, all weekend. I am giving myself this weekend of med's and sleep. *rat heads off to bed*

Today...



The move went well- all 14 stainglass lamps moved with none broken. All the antiques moved with only a small chip in one of the table legs.



:)



Lady was tickled pink, and gave the guys a $100.00 tip to be split 3 ways. I gave them each a $70.00 tip. Why? Because they earned it. With my back out they step up and took charge of the move. A move that had extra coverage insurance on it. She paid $430.00 for better insurance, and the guys made sure I had no claim. Its something we do for each other- I ( company ) gets some of the money, and the rest goes to a tip for them.



Came home to a gift from my sister. I have a old heating pad that does not get very hot. So she went this morning and got me a nice new one.



It has a massager in it. :)



I am using it now... and my eyeballs are shaking. *giggles*



I love this thing. Yes- I like my thrills cheap, thank you. lol

But I was able to do inventory today for 5 hours. Killed me, but I did. Now if I can handle sitting for the 6 hour round trip and the 7 hour delivery then I have it made. :)



And if no damage done- a chunk of money that will pay the next two months of cargo insurance. Hell yeah! Woman has 12 stainglass lamp shades. Grrrr... why do people buy those things? Pain in the ass to try and move.



But my back - seems to be getting better- just still a little sore. No sudden moves from the rat.



Now to bed as 4:30am comes early.

So I woke up Sat with a sharp pain in my lower back. When I say pain, I mean I could not strighten up. Humped over all day, could not lay, sit or stand and not have the pain. As Cat and Birdy will tell you I HATE to take med's/ drugs, so it's Sunday before I gave in and went to my sister for some pain killers. Boy that knocked me out for the count, but still the pain was staying. Around 3:00am this morning is when it hit home as I moved in bed and almost pissed myself as the pain shot up my back.



Took me over a hour to just shower and get dress this morning a few hours later, stopping to cry a few times as I will not go to a job looped up on pain meds.



I worked today packing, thinking I would work the crink out as I always have, but noooooo... for the first time in my life- I bailed out. The guys was fussing, and told me to sit and "tell" them how to pack the china. *sigh* I hate that... really I did. But when you can not stand up, much less bend over repetitive for hours on end... nothing I could do but give in. The guys saved me, and the military job today.



Safe to say I will be going to the dr. in the morning if these muscle relaxer don't do the trick that Mom has sent to me that is Dad's.



Speaking of... I feel a nap coming on.

The month of June is going to be my Holy Month. Booked three preachers right in a row. Not easy moves by any means (can we say books, books and more books?) ...but these are going to be even more fun. Stairs, one way streets, dealing with police to block the roads. Two weeks of no cussing. O.O Not only of me, but my guys.



For the two weeks in June- mid month it is going to be sooo much fun.



So yesterday the Army Inspector came for a visit. Spent three hours just chatting as nothing was moving and he was wanted to visit. (His words- not mine) I was talking to him about the moves, and he sent me a email this morning.

I was reading my favorite journals, then some at random the other day... and really... its getting bad. I know you have a right to write what you want in your journal- reason its called yours. And if I don't like what is in them- I can just not freaking read them.



But I have to say....



I wish people would get the hell over the rating shit. I mean- yes people are stupid, yes people are rating ones, yes they are using stamps. WHO FREAKING CARES?



I want to learn about you. I want to hear about your life, your day. I want to read about something you find intresting. Something that catchs your eye. Something else. Not about the dead horse we all are kicking. Really- move along, get over it and be done with it.



Bottom line- Your score is bullshit, rating is nothing but a way to play games on here, and to be used as a stupid punishment by stupid children. If not for the need to level up- who would even do it?



Please... please.... for this rat's entertainment- please write about something else. IF you do... I will leave you a cookie, and a thank you. :)

Have you ever had a dream that frighten you? A dream that stays with you all night, making you toss and turn, unable to sleep? A dream that makes you want to stay awake, but the bed is so comfortable and you are so sleepy. A dream that you know is coming…does that make it any easier, knowing what is coming? To understand what is going to happen. Or what you think will happen.



A dream that grows as it leads you to the horror…wakes you up tangled in the sheet and blanket in the dark, lost to where you are? Half way down the bed, pulling the sheet lose as you go out the bottom as he was standing over you, looking down at you, making you run to get away?



Have you even come out of a nightmare…



And wonder…



If it was just a…

What's the definition of an accountant?

Someone who solves a problem you didn't know you had in a way you don't understand.





What's the definition of a good tax accountant?

Someone who has a loophole named after him.





When does a person decide to become an accountant?

When he realises he doesn't have the charisma to succeed as an undertaker.

"Well I look at it like this. Many of you can not operate and make a standard of living wage now. The fuel is to high, taxes going up along with insurance and other things. Even if we win by forcing the wages we need up, we will then pay them back out at the shelf. I do not want to get into politics, but Reagan started trickle down economics and it was working. We need to get people here to work for one. We need to get the illegal aliens out. If you do not want to be an American citizen, speak English, get a job, and pay taxes, get out. We need to punish business that pays substandard wages to people. The government could put so many people to work on just fixing our roads to start. If we create the jobs and they pay a standard of living wage, these people would be off the welfare or unemployment and will start paying taxes along with everyone now who is. We need to cut the government subsidies to any and all business. If the business is run correctly it will survive without government assistance. I for one do not think it is fair to me or any other tax payer to have tax hikes for substandard education, property taxes, road taxes and to top it off to make a payroll for some company employees when they have a CEO making hundreds of thousands a year. They need to cut patronage jobs. I hire people who work, they are paid a good wage. We need to make a market for business and people to earn a living. We need to help our elders who need help, We need to help the disabled who need help. We need to cut the funding to the people who refuse to work and the 4 and 5 generations that have followed them playing the system. We need to keep our noses out of other countries business. I don't care how much they fight or how intense it becomes. Just let them know when they get to close to us the game is over. If we continue the way we are - the game will be over for us."



Well said by a person who lives in the real world.

Comments on Journals.

Comments on the journals was something I thought I would of hated. But not so. This VR perk has given me friends I never would have had otherwise. There is a few people on this site, even after two years, I stay away from because of the reputation they had, or the ones I believed they had. But when you read others journals and you see the humor and kindness they leave in the comment boxes of friends…you see them in a different light.



Think about it. Is there not one comment you read that has made you have a emotion? Either a “Wow. That was nice” or a all out “God- what a bitch.” You see people in a different light when you read these journal comments, some come off bad, but most is good. If you don’t read them then you are missing out on some of the best joking, humorous words on this site. Even drama as fights and disagreements are trashed out. Hell I been known to go back to some journals just to see who has added to the comment section as a conversation is held there.



On my own journal I have seen the funny side of those I feared. I learned they are just people- here to do a job, to enjoy the site as I am. I also see my friends who I had before leave comments that makes me see they understand. While I would get personal messages with some, now I get comments that makes me even more comfortable sharing with people.



Have to say it makes me a little unease when a stranger leaves a message. lol Yes- I don’t like to talk to strangers either. But it seems like a way to get to know people, see the side of them the profiles and the rumor mill does not show you. As they say- people only talk when they have trash to say. These comment boxes show you another side of those people…and its one you might like if you care to read them.



Now I even go into journals I would never gone into- seeing the humor and remarks certain people leave. I follow the people I find interesting, like a little rat I just follow them home. So if you see me in your journal… I mean no harm. Just being me… being nosey and learning a little about you because you seem like a person I could like.



So thanks to Cancer for another touch of home he has added to VR. :)

Feel like someone needs to light a fire under my ass... throw a match into the oil. Bet my ass will be moving then. :)



I should be in a better mood. Work is picking up- this last ten days I have booked not one but two preachers moves. Looking at around 9,000.00 by the time they are done. But I will need major meds to make it thru those.

Ok- bills are caught up, making a little even. :) Always good.

She reminds me of a song called Little Bird by a wonderful lady name Annie Lennox. I also added the words so you can see why she reminds me of this song. Fly Little Otter... Fly for all your worth. :) *picture otter poop landing on me.. and steps under cover to watch*













Song lyrics:



I look up to the little bird

That glides across the sky

He sings the clearest melody

It makes me want to cry

It makes me want to sit right down

And cry, cry, cry

I walk along the city streets

So dark with rage and fear

And I, I wish that I could be that bird

And fly away from here

I wish I had the wings to fly away from here

But my, my I feel so low

My, my, where do I go?

My, my, what do I know?

My, my, we reap what we sow

They always said that you knew best but

This little bird's fallen out of that nest now

I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed so

I've just got to put these wings to test

For I am just a troubled soul

Who's weighted...

Weighted to the ground

Give me the strength to carry on

Till I can lay my burden down

Give me the strength to lay this burden down

Down, down, yeah

Give me the strength to lay it down

But my, my I feel so low

my,my,where do I go?

my,my, what do I know?

my, my, we reap what we sow

They always said that you knew best but

This little bird's fallen out of that nest now

I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed so

So I gave up on trying to have my taxes done on time. Be lucky to even have them done by next week, much less getting the CPA to touch them. I called my CPA to tell him to file extensions for all of us, and the companies.



I am put on hold, and lord and behold he picks up the phone. “Why are you not going to have them to me?” in a sharp tone. I give the phone a ‘Kiss me ass look’ and answer him “Just ain‘t goin to. Gotten to far behind and I am not going to worry about it anymore. You ain’t touching them anyway… you telling me you would not had filed extensions?” “Maybe.” That made me roll my eyes- little butt would of, trust me.



“But that is for me to decide. You was to have them ready.” Now I hear the smile in his voice. “Well.. I ain’t goin.” “Will” “Ain’t” “Will” “Ain’t” “Will” “Ain’t” “Will” “Listen to me - I A I N’ T goin.” He bust out in laughter and I hung up the phone. I just started to laugh when the phone rings. I answer but before I get the greeting out he tells me “Will” and hangs up on me.



But that is alright…. I grab a piece of paper and write AIN’T and fax it to his attention. He emailed me “Will” Damn… he has me stumped now. Wonder if I take soap to his windshield of his car if he would kill me?

A 3 YEAR OLD



One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother who is four years older than I am . I was maybe 3 and a half years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken among other injuries.



Someone had given me a lit tle 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy wa s in the living room engrossed in the evening news and my brother was playing nearby in the living room when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy t ea, my Mom came home.



My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me br ing him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!!' My Mom waited, and sure en ough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up, then she says to him, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet??'









Rick was in trouble -- He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him, 'Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds



AND IT HAD BETTER BE THERE!!'



The next morning, Rick got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.



Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.



Rick has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him.

Hello,



I know that you and I have never really talked, but I would sincerely like to thank you for your kind Words of Wisdom in your Journal yesterday concerning Covens, as well as the kind words on my Profile.



Because yesterday was April Fool's Day, Craig decided to pull a "Prank" on VR...I so wanted to tell you, I did, but my "role" here was crucial...playing to the Crowd. I knew that because of my past issues here that I would be the most convincing...and the other girls in the Coven really just helped with the back and forths, making it even spicier.



It was crucial, and requested, to keep it going until our Craig decided to "reveal" which he did today.



Craig is a wonderful Coven Master and did take me in despite me not having the best Reputation here on the Rave...I have made plenty of mistakes which I am not now proud of. I was given a chance to be a Position Holder, which to me just about floored me.



But I am not grateful to be given a "second chance" to build my worth back up on the Rave...and I ultimately have Craig to thank for that, truly. He is a good Friend and Leader, and I am proud to be in Bohemia.



Thank you, again, for being so kind and being able to see both sides, and giving me those words of encouragement. I do stick to my guns, even if it makes me enemies, because if a woman can't have her Principles, why exist? :)





I hope that you don't feel taken advantage of. It was never our intention to do that to anyone here. And you have gone heads above what I expected from anyone not knowing me here on the Rave....thank you so much for being a very wonderful, honest person, and very "real" to the core.

A friend of mine is having issues with a coven, not yours, and we had started talking about what made a good coven master. Then your journal just gave me the "push" needed to write about it. I do hope your Coven Master does not think I was attacking him. The entry was writen from lots of events in these past two years on the site.



As I said at the start- I have no horse in the race as far as your coven or its business. But I also did not like the others attacking you for your words. Journals, to me, is a place to speak you mind, as I believed you was doing. As I do in my own.

I see I made your journal- but hope it's not in a bad way. I hate for people to think I stir the drama pot even more as I do try to stay out of drama on the site. Like I said- it was just the push I needed to say something that had been on my mind of late.

Practice jokes. My best one was on my mother. Also my worst one. See- I was driving when I was 13.. 14? Either way I was able to drive by the time I got my learner permit. I mean… I would go to town on my own. Small town, everyone knows everyone. It was summer break and I was sent to town to do the shopping one morning. I returned home, put the food and stuff up before I started lunch. I called the office to tell my Mother and oldest sister lunch was ready and to see if I needed to bring it down or will they take the time to come eat at the house.



That is when I decided to play a joke. *slaps forehead* What was I thinking?



My sister answered and I started to act like I was crying like a baby. “Is mom there? I need mommy.” She asked me what was wrong, but I refused to say till mom came on the phone. She did- telling me to tell her what had happen. I told her I was at the police station. They had stop me, and took me in as I had no licenses. She told me to let her talk to one of the cops. I told her that this was my one and only call as they was going to take me to jail. And I let out a big wail of “Do you think they will put me in with others?.” That sent another fake wail of despaired over the phone from me.



She told me to be strong, she would be right there and she hung up on me. I stood, looking at the phone. Surely she did not think I was serious? I called back, and the phone was busy. I looked out the window and see my mother running to her car. I ran out of the house to catch her. Could you not seen the hell I would of paid if she had gotten to the police station? Just how mad she would have been?



I flagged her down as she speed out of the warehouse parking lot, gravel flying. My sister said all mom told her was told to call the lawyer and have someone meet her at the police station, but that I was alright. She said “They have my baby and by god they will give her to me…one way or another.” We had to call the lawyer back to tell them it had been a joke. *cringe*



Safe to say that little joke did not go over well, and I paid for it with no driving for 6 months, and extra work at the house and work. I even had to pay for a hour of the attorneys time, even though he did not bill it. Mom told me it was what I owed him for pulling that shit. Never seen my mother so pissed as she was that day.



While it might not been April Fools Day when I did it- I did learn the outcome of practice jokes. Reason I don’t do them any more. Or at least any big ones.

Month of May movies updates done.



So I was on AOL reading about the truckers strike. Here is a little of the article, points that hit home to me. Yes- I support the strike.



Lakeland, Fla., to the Hunt's Point Market in The Bronx, N.Y., had cost $600 to $700 a year ago. It now runs him $1,000.00



Jimmy Lowry, 51, of St. Petersburg, Fla., and others said it costs about $1 a mile to drive one of the big rigs, although some companies are offering as little as 87 cents a mile. Diesel cost $4.03 a gallon at the truck stop.





Charles Rotenbarger, 49, a trucker from Columbus, Ohio, said he felt helpless.

"The oil company is the boss, what are we going to be able to do about it?" said Rotenbarger, who was at a truck stop at Baldwin, Fla., about 20 miles west of Jacksonville. "The whole world economy is going to be controlled by the oil companies. There's nothing we can do about it."



Meanwhile in Washington, top executives of the five biggest U.S. oil companies said they know high prices are hurting consumers but deflected any blame and argued their profits — $123 billion last year — were in line with other industries.







Now someone tell me.... what other company made $123 BILLION PROFIT last year??????



Can we say price gouging?

What makes a good Coven or House Master?

What makes a good Coven or House master? Close to two years on this site and I am going to say what I think. Reading a journal today (off line) I agree with the comment made by one of the coven members of “Its my journal and I will say what I want.” as this Coven faces changes. Now I have no horse in that race nor know the people involved… I was just bored and read a journal, like I often do. LOL But it made me think today - What makes a good Coven or House?



I would have to look at Imagesinwords for her leadership as a example of what I think makes a good Coven or House. First- I would not care where it stood on the ranking of VR societies. If it was on the bottom- then what is the harm? I know people care or you would not see all the drama the site has. And that is a pity.



So you are not on top, so what? Tell me that list makes any difference in your life? Does it heal cancer, or stop flooding? Does it put food in hungry children’s belly? I guess I don’t have the competitive urge to want to be on top of a stupid list on this website. And it is stupid. Why? That list, in part, is made by the rating system. Your rate effects the Coven or House. And we all know just how whacked the rating is on here. Tens for whelps who have nothing but “Ask me” just piss me off as those who spend hours to make their profile nice is given the same.



And take your whole “I give what I get” and stick it. Honey- Life is not like that, deal with it. I have learned to give credit were it is due and say nice job. If you think life is fair - you need to rethink it. If you think you are going to be treated the same as everyone- you need to rethink it. That dream will get you no where, real fast.



Leveling up- I know of a lady *waves at Elemental* who has taken her time to level up. She dislikes to rate, so her page count is not the highest. She just likes to read, talk to people, and enjoy the site. What level you are effects the Coven or House as well. And I know of several who push you to level up in a certain time frame. Good lord- you all need to get a life. Why make it a chore for your members? Where is the fun with that? If they don’t want to spent …ten hours a week for example… on here then they don’t have to.



Favors. I thank god I will never have to get Nightgame to make my favors for me again. Yes- I WILL NOT play games. Those that was great at the games ruled this site, had it made. Now… not so much. Its more fair now that it is set up to time and pages. Those who was good at the games could win the required favors in just a few minutes. (30 is what I remember being requested a week) Now it is on equal footing and that has helped a lot, in my own opinion. Time and pages equal favors won. That means those who send the time on the site, who puts the effort in to level up earn the favors. Wow- it’s that nice?



Ok- this has gotten long winded, so back on track.



Coven or House master should care about the members they take in. They should look for those who will fit the group, no who has the highest profile rating or favors won. And if they don’t fit- get them out. Its not that hard to understand.



You should want a active forum, of members who are there because they want to be. Joking, talking, helping each other out. A place they can be who they are, without being on guard all the time. A safe place on this site.



Guess it comes down to- what do you want from your Coven or House? Do you want a place that is on the bottom of the rankings, but has fun and the members enjoy? Or do you want to be on top- always onto the members to do better? To take in members just because of the little numbers VR gives each of us, and not on the fact if they will fit the core membership?



Can you have both? To me- No, you can’t. You have to pick. And if you was honest about it- you know that too. But let’s say you get on top. Let’s say ED gets knocked down… and then what? Does Cancer message you? Do you get something like a award or something? Do you get your name on the front page? Do you get anything more then the Coven or House on the bottom other then being on top of that page listing? What is the goal you are reaching for?



*shrugs* I just don’t care enough to make the effort. In really life I work for what I want, I do my best at the job I have taken on. I try to treat people right. On this site- What is real? The rating system is flawed, the use of posting in the forum of stupid “I agree.” “I think Sam has a good point” is used to level up. The need to level up has ruined the forum for discussion. I don’t see VR as a place to be competitive when the scoring system is flawed. It’s not real.



But a place to have some fun… now that is worth having. And that is what I think a House or Coven master should aim for on this site.

Ok- more then my two cents… more like a buck fifty. Go have a soda and thank me for it. lol :)
