'Ukraine's Got Talent' winner Kseniya Simonova does something we've never seen before -- drawing in the sand.
Set to music, Simonova depicts the invasion of Ukraine by Germany in World War II. In the over eight minute long performance, she shows the struggle and devastation of the country using only the sand and ends with the message "you are always near."
Thing is; he's the furthest thing from a right-wing crank.

List of shit to do just to get it off my mind:
Call Hazard Furniture about my lingerie chest.
Call Service department and talk about the fuel pump repair= warranty? Why was it a fuel pump and not a fuel injector. May be better to do this in person so I can see the reaction. Make a file for repairs on the truck.
Call Parsley and price 4 tires for the 4500 Ford-- back tires, retreads.

Ask Jerry about the motor in the gas International.

Ask them about the bench, vase, base and the angel statue- has the angel came in yet?
When the Fall’s rental is empty- go out and take paper pad to make a list for Merle of what needs done.
Talk to sisters about putting the new vinyl like hardwood back into it instead of carpet. The kind Ft. Knox is putting in the new homes they are building.

Call around and start looking for spare tires for the Internationals- do it before I have to have one and pay what is priced.

Get the papers from mom and work on separation of CD’s- what is dad with my name, what is mine with his name. *** Mom has asked me several times for this- top of the list***
The home on Foster still has the leak at the kitchen area by the back door- call the roofer yet again.
Check and see if I need to order checks for Moving.
Call about the workers comp claim - see what is the next step
Get hold of Ricky and see who he uses to work on his Kenworths.

Work on the drain between the new building and the garage- water standing still. Is the drain clogged?, clean up the dirt, check the slope of the concrete…was is the water not going down the slop?

Find out where dad’s old farm tractor went from Uncle Roy, also where is the old forklift of Dad’s.

Tell sis to look for new laptop to replace hers in the office of she wants one.
Try and find a buyer for the steel flat bed.
Find someone who will take on the cutting apart and hauling off of the three old moving trailers for scrape steel/ metal.
Call about the audit on the military payments- don’t let up on them…make them look into it and do something. Not another letter in 4 years with what they think I owe them.
Ok… that is all that is been on my mind of late, all in one place. Yeah! I know they will still pop in my head but it makes me feel better to just have them listed. Now to bed as I have a courier run tonight. Hey Cat, Birdy- anyone up for a ride to Somerset for a 12:30 am pick up? Then back home and up in a few hours for a 9:00 am delivery in Danville? That would be about…4 hour sleep? LOL I can see you two hiding. ;)
Now slice off 1/4 of that stuff and have your sister handle it, especially the ones that can be done by phone or email. You're not alone there.

Goal tonight was to play with the new make up and catch up on my favorite journals. I read a few yesterday...I got up to Images I think. Now after a few hours I have caught up to M.
Read of Lady C and Lord V diet...way to go you two. :)
I read words of images and wonder on Joli's
KCRC camping out with his kids, wife. Beach.. he got to see the beach. :)
Got to see a cute puppy in a UK shirt on Meeper's.
Then I read Otter's and spent at least half a hour. I have to say- I love Otter's journal. I laughed, got pissed,,,anyone to say she has to have $7,000 camera to ....*cuss words* Anyway.... I watched the baby climb, read of his driving skills. I got to see what a flash ring does.
Now it is off to bed for me. :) I go to bed knowing my friends are doing well, busy in life as I am and having fun. Life goes on...and not saying this in a stalking way but.. I am glad to know you guys are only a few clicks away from me.
Woohoo journal summaries. Someone really should have thought of that service a long time ago.
Oh and Joli sure does have it right :)

You know what I don't like? I don't like a person I know using another account and talking to me like we just meet. What is that??? You might think it is funny but I don't. In fact it just pisses me off.
I don't do test well.
I don't do lies well.
It is not cute.
And I hate games.
And I guess you found out I am the same on all accounts- ME...telling you what I think. Like I said...piss me off.
I'm paranoid and suspicious of all premium profiles of being duplicates. Not that there is anything wrong with having multiple profiles- but a bit of upfront honesty is certainly appreciated.

Pulling into the restaurant I see that Birdy has already arrived. The parking lot is packed so I am looking for a parking spot when out walks a young woman right out in front of me. Just as pretty as you please… right out in front of me.
Now I have not had the best day, week. Kind of just in a pissed off mood really. Just want to have time with the gals, talk and have some cold beer and hot wings. Is that so much to freaking ask for? I just had enough.
I slam my brakes on as the shinny girl, short up to her butt crack, sunglasses on top of her blond hair and her bag as small as her shirt. I put the window down and say “You ever seen the movie Fried Green Tomatoes?” She looks at me then starts to jog out of my way.
“Yeah… you better move your ass. I know my car insurance is paid up.” She might not have heard the last as she was long gone by then.
But I had my beer, hot wings, and fun with the gals. Now I am in bed and sleepy. If I have nightmares about a large round smiley face tho.. It is all Birdy's fault I tell ya.
I have used that line up here SO many times, and just gotten blank stares. I have informed all the kids that work with me that if they want to understand me, watch the following:
Steel Magnolias. Weeza is my hero.
Fried Green Tomatoes. Thou shalt NOT piss of southern women with stupid mean shit.
Thanks for reminding me of that.

So you said you would have your home on the next Monday- asked us to set up delivery on that day. We called the base and had the required delivery time pushed back to a few day, they put it to Wednesday which was fine. So here we are, packing away on the Tuesday (6 days till we deliver) and you said “I don’t have the address yet but I will have it soon” when I asked where you was moving to.
Wednesday and I get the same thing, along with “I need to call my realtor. But we are to have it Monday.”
Thursday, the last day I see you till Monday, two trucks loaded and I ask again that morning. “I guess I need to call her, see what the hold up is.” By the phone call I was listening into as I packed- your loan was denied. So where does that leave the shipment? I flip my mind into storage mode, redoing a few things that I would of “let go” if you had went direct.
I asked you again if you had the keys to your large tool chest and got told “No. I told you I lost them.” I had hoped you had found them. So I start to packed the tools out of them into cartons as you can NOT take full tool chest into storage if they are not locked. You get upset “Why are you doing that?” “Because I can not load them full unless they are locked. And I need to do it before they go to storage.”
“But it is not going to storage.” Okkk then… address?” “I don’t have one yet. I still have time to find something.” Dude- it is one working day till delivery deadline for me. Your shit is off my truck on Monday. I am taking steps to protect myself if you go to storage. Deal with it. I smile and said “Sorry- but as you are unable to give me a address I have to treat it as going into storage.” “Waste of time and effort but it is your business.” said with attitude.
So I leave you with no address and told you I would call you on Friday for delivery info. I do- at noon. You tell me you have to the 26- Wednesday. Ok… what? “The papers are marked for the 26th. I have to the 26th.” “No sir- you have till Monday. I loaded this with the understanding you was taking it on Monday. I am not holding it to the 26th. Monday morning it is going into storage or into a home- there is not other day.”
“Well let me tell you something- I have to the 26th on my paperwork and you will hold it till then. I will call you on Monday and give you the address and if I want it on that day or Tuesday, maybe Wednesday.” And we are talking a 3 hour trip to just get into the delivery area. Call me on Monday to tell me if he wants it then?!! Hello?? When have you EVER had the power to tell me what to do???!! The 26th is when I HAVE to get it to you- but guess what? I can come before that date...like on Monday. The Monday that I plan the rest of the weeks work around- the Monday you SAID and still saying you will have a home... That Monday is the day the magic happens little fucker.
Ohh attitude again. And this is from a E7, Sergeant.
Ok- I can’t get you to understand the concept of the delivery spread so guess what? How about this… I go to a Ft. Knox mover butt ass early on Monday, let them call the base to clear it, let then call and wake your ass up as lord knows the last three day I have had to wake your ass up at 8:00 am even with you knowing we was going to be there, Base will give you two hours to find a home as that is the LONGEST they can hold me. Then guess what? THEY PUT YOUR ASS IN STORAGE. Little fucker… let see you try and pull this shit with them. You cost me a job on Monday as I held the two trucks up for your requested delivery for Monday as I could have had you unloaded today shit ass…but now you are going to try and bully me to Wednesday delivery? See what I get for trying to “get along” with shippers?
I mean- they knew they was moving for over three weeks. WHO THE HELL waits to the Friday before to find a home for Monday? Who the hell does not take care of their business, family better then that? Oh wait.. the same ones you have to get out of bed, who lay and sleep as you pack around them and the cat, dog shit on the floor, the food from last night sitting still on the table. That is who.
I tried to be nice, I tried to get along with you and give you what you told me you wanted but now I am done. You and the military base can play now. And guess what….
My money is on the base.
And I will not smirk at all while I put you shit in storage. Ohh no sir... I will not. :)
Nasty ass dip shit.
Friday- happy hour… I am so there. Cat, Birdy- come early as I am going to be there at 5:00. first rounds on me. And tatter skins.. Mmmmm.
Damn you! Now I have to wait all the way to Monday to see how this turns out.
This is as bad as a 2 part Batman episode split over the weekend.
*sits and pouts* I hate waiting ...

Things I hate when doing a moving job-
Stinky house
Dirty house… as in bugs, cat shit and dog shit on the floor, under the furniture.
Toilets that is not clean.
No toilet paper.
People are not packed, gotten their stuff out of the home that they are taking themselves.
People, who are not awake when you get there at 8:00 am, time you told them for three days in a row.
Having to wait 20 minutes as you get the kids up, dress.
Sticky pots and pans, kitchen floor, bathroom floors.
Sink full of dirty dishes.
Cat and dog hair flying in the air due to lack of cleaning.
Kids out of control.
Kids who run up and down the truck walk board/ramp even as you tell them not to.
Kids that put toys in the way of the guys carrying furniture, and think it is cute.
Parents who don’t give a shit about what the kids are doing.
Kids who think it is fun to just walk over and hit you on the butt.
Parents who say “Stop that or I am going to spank you” then doesn’t so a damn thing.
The laws that don’t let me spank the little brat’s ass till it turn red.
No offer of a glass of water, refreshment for people in your home for 9 hours working.
People who turn the air conditioner off during moving day and it is in the 90’s.
People who have toys and stuff all over the floor, expect you to clean it up after them as you pack.
People who throw things into closets and close the doors.
Sticky toys in the kids room. Ewwww.
Left over food laying around on furniture.
Blown light bulbs that leave you in the dark.
Wet spots on the carpet from the pets, soaking into your packed box or your jeans as you get on your knees to pack.
People who shove shit under their beds- from shoes, dirty clothing, dirty dishes, fast food containers with food still in them, toys, and “other” stuff.
Furniture that the pads stick to with all the food stains they have, put your hand on and it tacky from it.
Sure there is more- that is just what we have been in these last three days. And people wonder why I try to keep a clean home and don’t like kids. Deal with that shit for 30 years and see if you don’t mind it.
Suddenly I'm glad I'm not a mover. You poor poor lady. Some of that list gave me flashbacks of when I used to clean houses for geriatrics. *shudders*

Came home to a $1,600 repair bill on the new truck- the injector pump went out. Then it was a $306.00 brake and service on my car. Also got told I needed tires ‘soon”. In other words- no sleep as I worry about paying those bills. This is the time Dad would tell me it takes money to make money- we will always have repair bills. True- but I still wonder if I am paying more then Dad as he knew all the places in town, who to take them to depending on what needed repaired. He was always able to calm me when I worried.
Then Mom called to tell me she had dinner cooked if I wanted to stop by. I did- sitting down at the dinner table and had a great visit with mom, sister and brother. I paused for a second and just listen to mom laughter, seeing her smile and realized I was a very lucky girl. Now… I just want to enjoy the times away from work, to spend time with my family, friends and doing what makes me happy.
So off to home I went, pulling into the driveway when I see something shining in the sunlight. I went inside to grab my camera to take a picture of this wonderful little work of art. Such a delicate thing but able to capture and kill. The sun hitting it just right to show off the pattern, the death trapped in it already. And if you know my name you know spider webs have a special place in my heart.
I feel I should say more but really… some days you just don’t have anything else to say.
I pay you to mow a empty lot we have- house burned down years ago, mow it twice a month to keep it looking good as next door is a rental we have.
You charge me $45.00 to mow my lot, but then you started to mow the rental lot that is the same size for $15.00. Why is mine so much higher? "Well.. I was already out there to mow yours so I gave her a discount."
Should we not just divide it?? Mine is easy to mow- she has weed eating and shrubs to trim on her side... but what ever. Note to self- don't use you next year.
You just called me to see if the lady had moved. Seems you can never find her at home and she has not paid you for mowing? Wow... sorry to hear that. Nothing I can do- she mails in her rent so I don't see her any.
Karma...that bitch can give out some payback or what?
Hmmm me thinks someone hoped to get some nookie for his efforts! I just love how things work out sometimes! I'll remind you find new mower next year... hey can we audition them for looks?
ok here is a idea, by lawn mower and do it your self saves money in the long run or get a riding mower.

So I put some pictures in my face book and a friend wrote me a private message. Now this is a person I have not seen in 20 years or so and she sent me the comment "You are still lovely but so sad looking."
Think I will not be taking any pictures of myself for a while.
You are beautiful. If it is a way to express yourself and something you enjoy doing, don't stop because of how someone views it. We can't control how others view and receive our art.
Or I'll put it this way... Would not doing it any more make you happy?
It's your eyes I think. You know what they say about eyes being the window to your soul. Your eyes reflect things that are deep in you....sometimes happy, sometimes sad...life.
Everyone's already beat me to it but heck no you are not stopping and you will keep posting your pictures! You don't paste a fake smile on your face or pretend that life hasn't dealt you some blows! I prefer the real you to any plastic you pictures.
Everyone has said, what I would have said. It doesn't matter how someone else interprets your photography, but how you feel when you are doing it. If you enjoy it, forget her.
*hugs*

This LTC is driving me nuts. I mean… I try my best, as do the guys, to understand moving is full of stress. And the military keeps our country free and all so…
But this ass hole is getting close to the line. One- he booked his days for only Mon and Tuesday. (Yesterday and today) Two- the fucker lied about how much he had. You moved into the big house ten years ago with 10,000 lbs. And the reason you are moving now is because you have outgrown the house? What the fuck does that tell ya?
Thank god I called and asked what he had to move- Thursday and Friday of last week was two hard days to just get it packed. And the house that they have “outgrown” is a 5 bedroom, two living room, dinning room. Two large storage rooms full in the basement- no outside drive so that means all that shit had to be moved up the steep hill beside the house.
Then we go to the new home. 390 ft long carry. Basement no side door or driveway- you have to go around the freaking house, pass the pool to get to the doorway.
New house had 7 bedrooms, three living rooms, two dinning rooms. And it is 4 ½ miles from his old house. Yes- the government is paying for this move- his last move as he is getting out of service after 26 years.
Weight you ask? Well… seems like old LTC. Weight limit is 17,500 lbs. Over that weight he has to pay it. The two trucks loads we have moved so far is at 16,670 lbs. We still have at least half a truck load left… about 3,000 lbs more.
Yeah…how does that big house look now…cheap ass mother…four days of heat in the 90’s and he will not even leave the A/C on, or offer you a freaking drink of water.
Dick ass. I am so going to enjoy you going over your weight. And when you start to whine… I am going to look at the $530,000.00 home you are moving into and just laugh my ass off.
One more day...one more day and you are done. Then large office move Thursday and Friday...then another military that is to be 10,000 lbs. THAT one I went Sat and looked at- they told the truth as that is about what they have. They did not call the base and say "I only have 10,000 lbs and two days to move it." yeah... I don't know what you was thinking. Even with 7 men- it has taken me 4 1/2 days to pack, load and unloaded.
You would think, being the Army, with the fact that they are suppose to be able to pack everything so efficiently in their packs, to move from one place to another......that they might have a clue.
Then again, most of these are probably the spouses of said servicemen/women.
I feel for you sis. I will always try to be honest with moving companies, because of your journals.

Cimmerian red is my favorite so far- always had a thing for red. But where is the Who’s Online list at? Hmmm… sure I am just missing it, right in my face.
Ok- bed for me, up early next few days for me.
But really glad I got to see the new updates before I go.
Thanks Cancer for all your work.
Wait...does it effect the House/ Coven pages also?

I was asked by LadyKrystalynDarkstar to write something for the Coven she is in, for her coven page. Have to say- that was fun. Been a long time since I have wrote something for fun. :) Anyway- hope it was what she wanted.
Had a man helping us today that wants a job, having left the other “mover” in town to find another job. I said I could give him a few weeks work with these bigger jobs so he started today. We rode together today and he had the questions- how long have I been doing this, Who taught me how to pack, and other ones. First guy hired since dad passed away.
Dad came into the conversation. I kept saying “Dad is the one who…” “Dad always says…” “Dad will tell…” When I realized I was talking about Dad as if he was still alive. Took everything in me not to bust out in tears. Could you not see that reaction from the dude? Crazy woman...
You will never stop missing him but the pain will get less sis. Too many good memories exist for you to want it completely gone. Just hold on and call me if you need a shoulder, I can cry with you.
There is nothing wrong with talking about a person that way. Who your Father is hasn't changed to you just because he can't be with you now. Don't be down on yourself or feel like you haven't "accepted" it because of this.
Any normal person would be listening and thinking about how much you love him. A person who means so much shouldn't be forced to become past tense.

You know... these pain killers kick ass. :)
Long day, long next week, and the week after that even. In fact ... the whole month is going to be hard on my back. And my knee. And my stress level.
I will not be online much- just on to check messages and try to keep up with my rating of new items. :) So if it feels like I am gone for the month...sort of am.
But I will be back when I get these large jobs done. Yeah for work! I will look back on these days this winter with a smile. But right now....
Pain killers are wonderful things, only taken at night so I can sleep. Speaking off- think that time is almost here.
Not 100% sure if it is or not but I had asked him about a certain something and he said he was doing an update like it and it would be done around August.....
Or maybe it will be after this one, I am not sure. Hehehehe
Its part of the updates. Cancer is working on it, thats what he has told us to relay. :D And its going to be an awesome update *smiles*.

Standing at the sink washing out my mop I hear Michael Jackson talking about Thriller. I had the TV on MTV? as they count down his videos, going back in time for me. Have to say I dried my hands and sat and watch Thriller. It has been years since I seen this video, longer since I have really listen to the song.
Great loss to the music industry as he was really a great dancer and singer. But it is more- the make up, the clothing of the monsters. And Price doing the laugh at the end…cherry on top.
owl- go on youtube and pull up Thriller wedding, they have been doing it in the US for years.. kind of cool.

I see that I have gotten a 6 on my profile. :) That is cool- not everyone like it.
But then it pop into my head- now that the dashboard is here.. and they can see the last..three? rates... does that change how people rate? Have they gone back to all tens now? How the status is set up now... are we back to the tens for just a line of "Well ask me"?
I hope not. And I still rate as I have as the 6 shows.
But then...they could of been a paid member or a really good free profile they spent time and effort on and got a ten from me. Do I go look and see?
*Rat yawns and strech in her bed* Nah.. I got to go pee and start my weekend. I was just wondering if the dashboard has effect how people rate now is all.
So after a few drinks Cat made this comment at the ‘girls dinner out to start the weekend’ last night.
“I saw the ….that…vibrating…” and she stops as she tries to remember the rest of what she is going to say, or the name of something.
We all looked at each other and the comments started coming. “Vibrating what?” “Ok then…” “Connie- you been in my closet?” “Why? What is in your closet?” “My Bob” “Good lord.” “Can you say that any louder?”
Poor Cat- you can see her turn red as we started to laugh. “I did not say vibratory. I said vibrating. It was that mascara you were talking about … smart ass.”
