Sat evening- Nita and I was meeting for dinner at 6:00pm. It was at 5:02 when I called her from Ruby Tuesday asking her how long till she got there. O.o
Then she went to a town I told her how to get to for a meeting early this morning (for her- 10:00am is early) when she learns I did not tell her about the timezone change. She was a hour early.
o.O
What is it with me and time this weekend????
*Picture the birdy holding the rat up by the tail- showing her the clock. The big hand is the hour... the small hand is the minute....LOL*

The last few days I have been surrounded by loss. A friend of my sister husband had a loss this week. His father died. While he had been put into foster care as a child- he found his father later in his life, and had started to build a friendship. Now he is gone.
A friend of our family father died Thursday night from a long fight with lung cancer. As I sat with my sister, who had surgery to fight her own battle, I remembered him. Victor was a tall slim man who loved to laugh. He always had a smile and kind word to say to me. While I might not agree with all his decisions in his life I do grieve for his daughter.
His daughter has been friend to my older sisters forever. Like Connie and Nita are to me- she is to them. She has used her nursing skills to help us thru several operations in the family- from my father’s burns, my mother breast cancer, to my sister’s brown recluse spider that almost killed her, leaving a 4 inch hole in her stomach. A loving caring woman who is hurting as she deals with her fathers death. Dealing with her mother, while divorced from him for years, still hurt by his passing.
That is what death is- a passing. Life- new baby born into Connie’s family, Connie getting good news from her lab work. Watching the sunrise this morning over the mountains as I drove. Seeing two deers crossing the road, feeling the breeze on my face, the birds singing as I took a few minutes to just ….be alive today.
Life.
Balance.
Circle of Life.
But for Victor- I wanted to put this video here. Maybe it will remind me of just how lucky I am to be alive. And to have those I love.
Pop on to update- Connie is home and doing well. She ate a little this morning and kept it down, so Doc sent her home. (per her sister cell call to me)
:)
Going to visit later and I will tell her you guys asked about her, and see if she is up to telling me about the Nuns. lol
She has a sore throat (duh) so she is unable to talk much, and I am trying to not make her laugh, it must hurt her to do so.
But I had to tell her about the X FIle I watched this morning around 2:00am. It was about a nurse in a old folks home/ Hospital. She was raped by a "ghost".
o.O Go firgure- only time I stayed all night in a Hosp. and I had to see that show. LOL
But- it ended up being some mushrooms they were growing in the basement, making meds with them. Ohh... that is some good mushrooms.
Connie listen and I asked her if this place had a basement. And she grin at me and told me "Yes. Right next to the dead bodies."
O.O Now wait a second- X Files had no dead bodies in the basement. *smiles, happy her sister is home*
The cat loves this song, and I need some music to keep alert. So in honor of sis... listen to what she loves to blast in the car, as she drives way way WAY over the speed limit. :) Must be nice to know all the cops in the area. lol
I have been sicken by the Connecticut Murders. Here is part of the news article off AOL/ CBS-
The state medical examiner confirmed that Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, was strangled and that her daughters, 17-year-old Hayley and 11-year-old Michaela, died of smoke inhalation. The deaths were ruled homicides.
The girls' father, Dr. William Petit Jr., a prominent endocrinologist, remained hospitalized with head injuries.
All three women were raped, sources familiar with the investigation told both the Waterbury Republican-American and Hartford Courant. Petit was beaten with a baseball bat, thrown down the basement stairs, and then tied up in the cellar.
The girls, sources told the Courant, were tied to their beds and raped repeatedly, then left to burn after gasoline was poured around their beds and ignited.
The suspects entered the Petits' Cheshire home at about 3 a.m. Monday, planning to burglarize it, state police said.
Sources familiar with the investigation tell the Republican-American that Hawke-Petit and Michaela were followed home from a supermarket Sunday by the suspects. The men then went to a Wal-Mart to buy an air rifle and a rope, and then waited about a mile-and-a-half away
State officials are re-examining their parole policies, but Robert Farr, chairman of the Connecticut Board of Pardons and Parole, said the task would be difficult because neither suspect had a history of violent crimes.
"That's why this is sort of shocking — because it doesn't fit a normal mode," Farr said.
Petit remained hospitalized Wednesday.
Employees at a bank called police after one of the suspects forced Hawke-Petit to make a $15,000 withdrawal around 9:30 a.m., officials said. The employees balked, and Hawke-Petit told them her family was being held hostage, reports the Courant. One of the men was waiting for her outside the bank.
On the way back to the house, he bought a container of gasoline, according to the Republican-American.
The men were caught in the family's car after ramming several police cruisers as they fled the burning home, authorities said.

Have you seen the LONG record of crime these two have? And they only serve HALF the sentence for the crimes before this?
Going to go out on a limb here and bet you a dollar drugs were involved in this. Bet you the two SOB were using.
Really makes me sick that this is what humans can do to each other.
Increase jail time? Dead roll that will let them live for years?
Fuck that- bring back public hanging. See if that would not stop some of this shit.
I had a goal for tonight. Rewrite my profile. *crumbles up the paper and throws it on the floor, adding to the dozen already there* Sorry- But I can not write about myself.
Wonder why that is? I can say it’s because I hate talking about myself. While I do it a lot in my journal- well… that is only read by my friends, so I feel safe doing that. Sure- I have been attacked by people for what I write here, but not a lot. If I do- I will stop writing here.
So … why can’t I do it for the profile? I just don’t know. Guess because I see myself as boring. StoriesITell talk about this in her journal…were is the originality, the creativity? Seems I don’t have any when you ask me to talk about myself. Boring, and dull comes to mind.
*sigh* And well… I don’t like people to read that much about me. The profile is right there, for ever one to see and read. It’s my face on the Vampire Rave. As a Sire I understand people rate me just in hopes I rate them back. It’s just… do I have to tell them about me?
Well… I am just leaving it as it is for now… I just can’t write it. I will just stay hidden in my journal and leave the “story” as my profile.
Going to bed, and watch the last hour of the new ghost story on Sci Fi. :)
Just when you think there is not a nice person left on VR...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PUPPY!! LOVE YOU, SOUTHERN SISTER!
Been showing rental house this last weekend and few days, and I really love people. Such strange people in this world.
One told me, when I asked for her income that she draws a check. Not enough. So then she tells me she gets extra money baby sitting. She goes on to tell me she baby sits 4 kids. Now- if you can baby sit that many children- you can hold down a job.
Asking her where she does this and she back peddles real fast. “Oh… I don’t do it at home.” *frowns* I change the subject and, in a round about way, get her to talk of the kids. “They are so cute. One is 8 months old. And the others are 13 months, a boy 2 years old and last one is close to 4 years old.” Now- what does that tell you? She freaking baby sits them at home. Think of what 4 kids can do to a home, with only one adult to watch over them?
Application- “Not a commercial property or opening us to the liability” denied.
When a gang got out of the car, and I get a strong odor of pot hit me in the face…
Application- “Oh Hell No” denied.
When the lady “forgot” her appointment on Sunday AM, she calls for another time, and then doesn’t show up for that one…GRRR. When she stops by the office to ask someone to show her the home… WTH?
Application-Ah screw it- I lied and told her it was rented. She never got to see the application.
The lady who asked if I can remove the carpet that is beige, and 6 months old so she can have hardwood instead. Hardwood “I” am to put down.
Application – “Buy your own freaking house, bitch” denied.
“The people next door to us in the apartment tied into our waterline, stolen our electric, and cable.” Hum. Reason they left the place before the one they are living at now, just a few months earlier? “They did it to.” Now- what is the chance of that happening twice in a roll?
Application- “You have a few fries short of a value meal” denied.
He tells the wife to “Do what YOU want…I do not like the home.”
Application- “Don’t want YOU to be unhappy, so…” denied.
Good looking man, all flirty and such. And the best butt I have seen in a long time. Mmmm. Eye candy… and great smile.
Application- “Damn bad credit” denied.
Then we have the mother or two children. She has a nice job…just under our income requirement. She loved the home, and the kids are getting older, need more space. Well behaved children, very good manners. Credit check not the best and her rent she lives now is $125.00 lower. Landlord said she has been late a few times, but made it up in a few weeks. This shows me she would be hard press to make rent, may be getting a little over her head.
Application: “I hate to, but have to.” denied.
“We are just looking as the wedding isn’t till September. Can you hold it till then?” And my gods they held hands as they looked thru the home, kissing, making me want to throw up. Started to hum the song from Grease “summer loving …had me a blast.”
Application: “Not holding it for 7 weeks Mrs. And Mr. can’t live on love alone” denied.
I remember when this song came out- and was told it fit me to a "T" by someone who disliked me. *smiles*
Is it true? Hummm... to a point. But I like making my own money. My parents made sure I knew money was never a sure thing. You have to work every day to keep what you have.
Anyway- wanted to hear the song some, so... my journal, my music.
Rating as I wait to go home for the day- started at 5:00 am, so I get to go home early. Yea me!!
And I find this :
OMG! Fun incident. I just came across a girl named Chelsey's profile, and in it she listed her phone number. I called her up, she was sleeping, but it was awesome for those few seconds. She said she'll call back, but I'll doubt it. However, I'm gonna put my number up now! This is my real number, and calling it will yield ye at least one phone call with ME. How cool is that? Guarenteed. If you dont get ahold of me, I will even call back, just leave a message! Wicked, huh? Yeah right. You bastards wont call. Oh well.
1-406-207-2028
If it's not a guy that answers, ask for me. Sometimes my fiance will answer my cell. If the person on the line has no idea whats going on if you mention you found my number, then that wont be me either. Ask. Trey. I will not be put off!
____
*smiles*
Now doesn't that just make you want to call? I am thinking its a sting operation like on TV. Were the old guys go to meet the young girls. But this time it's a sting to arrest the old women who come after the young underage guys.
Had the girls over to do a ritual for Nightgame. It was for healing, protection, and courage. All of these she will need this week as she faces her surgery. While it started with some work for VR, it moved to some deep subjects.
I learned tonight I project. When I am angry people can feel it, like a thunderstorm on the horizon. And I can suck all the joy out of a room, making everyone else on edge around me. Going to have to study on that, research is needed. Funny- as I always thought other people influenced my mood. Let you know how that turns out.
Then we started to relax, started to joke around. Wanted to share some of the comments of the night:
“When was the last time you wiped your ass with your foot?”
“It’s all about me. Me Me Me.”
“Damn- the smart people are rubbing off on me.”
“Chasing a snake with tongs…saying Come here honey”
“Shave him with soap and when it grows back – it will itch like crazy”
“Suck my toe- but watch out for the corn and the hooked nail. Yes- I am bringing sexy back.”
“She has a tail… a piggy tail.”
“Hey – might not be a good idea to play with that candle around her butt. Remember she hasn’t had sex in a while.”
“Oh baby… candle me baby.”
“Do you need batteries for Bob?”
“He needs groomed.”
Image: Rat spitting and making a face of EWWW!
“His third leg would get in the way.”
“Why do you thing we call you when we want someone to be hateful to people?”
“He doesn’t have enough hair to have a say.”
“Hufmmm Mfffmm.”
“Come here Connie- let me play with your tail.”
“I got a free feel of her butt… and never paid a penny. Maybe I should slip her a quarter.”
“Positive thoughts...damn it, positive thoughts.”
“What do you do to control your anger? *looks of WTH* I tell people what I think of them. Kind of defeats the purpose here.”
“He would have you ball gagged, bound and on your knees in ten minutes.”
LOL… and those are just the ones I will not get killed over sharing. That is my friends. We make perfect matches to each other, keeping it fun and interesting. And a great way to end the weekend.
I love them so very much. So I say this with love...
*Steps over it…then back, then over. Spread my legs, a foot on each side, and hops, twist and jump from one side to the other, giving a screams to let out her anger. Scream ends and turns back to you, moves to stand on the line.*
See- I cross that line all the time. I am rude, judgmental, petty, snobby, to name a few of my flaws. I am that way in real life, so I am that way here. The hand full of people I call friends on this site know this.
But you know what? So are you. Those friends have pissed me off at one point of another, even my sisters.
If you interact with people, even those you love and respect, you will be made upset and mad.
Just as I have made these people mad at me at one time or another.
Now this….
*uses her foot to rub at the line, making it disappear*
…is what being friends means to me. To forgive, understand. Love enough to let it go, and move on.
See what I get? *sigh* Remind me to stay in the corner, ok?

You know- I hate when these kind of messages show up. This morning I spent a few minutes in the vamp box, having a nice chat. I was out of lurking and it felt like the good old Rave I fell in love with many months ago.
A friend stop by to "bite" me, and we caught up on each others life. *waves at Nikolai*
Another person who must have me on friends list stop by and we shared a few words.
I left after a hour or so, and started my housework. Taking a break- I log on and find this from a friend, who I take was online when I was this morning. Yes- he is on my friends list.

well, G'bye Kay!!
O.o
Ok- if you see me out of lurking- that means I want to talk. Reason it is mostly in the early am for me, it's before the pervs get online.
But back to the message: Can you not type? Are you unable to say hello?
I think we have found the soundtrack to the those profiles of "Fuck You!" LOL
I was asked nicely by gothicwiccanhobbit to return to her profile and rerate her updates. First- love the updated page. But this song was what caught my attention.
Really- I love this song...so its in my journal. :)
Cleaning out my voicemail on the cellphone tonight, as it hit the max space for saved messages.
Yes- I do not answer my phone a lot.
Ok- not often.
Fine then- NEVER! ok?
Gods- but you are a nag, ain't you???
lol
Anyway....
Found the message I got from puppy, RedQueen.
It just made me smile. Damn- that girl just sounds like a oak tree with moss floating from the limbs, a drink in one hand, sitting in the shade as we all sit around and talk of life.
Trashing those that get our panties in a bunch. lol
It reminds me I have a person who likes me, who love me and will stand beside me, stand up for me, and will stand up to me.
It reminds me that I have another sister out there.
I hit the button to keep it, saving it for when I need to hear it again.
Even if she is cussing me out for not answering my damn phone.
In true Pirate form- stolen from Queenmorbid... Arrr!
06:01 Jul 22 2007 Times Read: 1,876
My pirate name is:
Red Mary Bonney
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
1. God shows us that witchcraft, sorcery, spells, divination and magic are evil. He hates those practices because they blind us to His loving ways, then turn our hearts to a deceptive quest for self-empowerment and deadly thrills. Harry Potter's world may be fictional, but the timeless pagan practices it promotes are real and deadly. Well aware that the final result is spiritual bondage and oppression, He warns us:
"There shall not be found among you anyone who... practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord..." Deuteronomy 18:9-12
2. The movie's foundation in fantasy, not reality, doesn't diminish its power to change beliefs and values. Imaginary (or virtual) experiences and well-written fantasies can affect the mind and memories as much, if not more, than actual experiences.[3] Designed to stir feelings and produce strong emotional responses, a well-planned myth with likeable characters can be far more memorable than the less exciting daily reality -- especially when reinforced through books, toys and games as well as movies. Small wonder Harry's fans have been counting the days until their next fantastic journey into Hogwarts' classes on sorcery, divination, potions and spells.
"But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward." Jeremiah 7:24
3. Each occult image and suggestion prompts the audience to feel more at home in this setting. Children identify with their favorite characters and learn to see wizards and witches from a popular peer perspective rather than from God's perspective. Those who sense that the occult world is evil face a choice: Resist peer pressure or rationalize their imagined participation in Harry's supernatural adventures.
The second choice may quiet the nagging doubts, but rationalizing evil and justifying sin will sear the conscience and shift the child's perception of values from God's perspective to a more "comfortable" cultural adaptation. Even Christian children can easily learn to conform truth to multicultural ideals and turn God's values upside down - just as did God's people in Old Testament days:
"But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward." Jeremiah 7:24
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness....
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:2-21
4. God tells us to "abhor what is evil" and "cling to what is good." (Romans 12:9) But when Christian children and teens love the Harry Potter myths, delight in the movie and read the books again and again, they are desensitizing their hearts and minds to its evil. Turning God's truth upside down, they are learning to "love" what is evil. The natural next step is to reject God's wise boundaries and "abhor" what He calls good.
"You love evil more than good...." Psalm 52:3
5. Immersed in Hogwarts' beliefs and values, children learn to ignore or reinterpret God's truth. They lose their natural aversion for the devious spirits represented by the creatures and symbols in this eerie world. Caught up in the exciting story, they absorb the suggested values and store the fascinating images in their minds -- making the forbidden world of the occult seem more normal than the Kingdom of God.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ." Colossians 2:6-9
6. This inner change is usually unconscious, for the occult lessons and impressions tend to bypass rational scrutiny. After all, who will stop, think and weigh the evidence when caught up in such a fast-moving visual adventure? Fun fantasies and strategic entertainment has a special way of altering values, compromising beliefs and changing behavior in adults as well as in children. This learning process has been named "edutainment" -- a favored way to train multicultural citizens for the envisioned 21st century community. Its power to influence beliefs and behavior is illustrated by today's marketing firms which spend billions on entertaining ads that touch emotions, ignore the facts, yet motivate people to buy the product.
"Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way." Psalm 119:37
7. The main product marketed through this movie is a new belief system. This pagan ideology comes complete with trading cards, computer and other wizardly games, clothes and decorations stamped with HP symbols, action figures and cuddly dolls and audio cassettes that could keep the child's minds focused on the occult all day and into night. But in God's eyes, such paraphernalia become little more than lures and doorways to deeper involvement with the occult. In contrast, He calls a person "blessed" who -
"walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of the scornful [mockers];
"But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. Whatever he does shall prosper." Psalm 1:1-3
8. The implied source of power behind Harry's magical feats tend to distort a child's understanding of God. In the movie as in the books, words traditionally used to refer to occult practices become so familiar that children begin to apply the same terms to God and His promised strength. Many learn to see God as a power source that can be manipulated with the right kind of prayers and rituals -- and view his miracles as just another form of magic. They base their understanding of God on their own feelings and wants, not on His revelation of Himself.
"You thought that I was altogether like you; but I will rebuke you...." Psalm 50:21
9. Blind to the true nature of God, children will blend (synthesize) Biblical truth with pagan beliefs and magical practices. In the end, you distort and destroy any remnant of true Christian faith. For our God cannot be molded to match pagan gods.
“For My people have committed two evils:
They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters,
And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water." Jeremiah 2:1
10. God tells us to "train up a child in the way He should go." It starts with teaching them God's truths and training them all day long to see reality from His, not the world's perspective. To succeed, we need to shield them from contrary values until they know His Word and have memorized enough Scriptures to be able to recognize and resist deception. Once they have learned to love what God loves and see from His perspective, they will demonstrate their wisdom by choosing to say "no" to Harry Potter.
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." Deuteronomy 6:6-7
11. While some argue that Harry and his friends model friendship and integrity, they actually model how to lie and steal and get away with it. Their examples only add to the cultural relativism embraced by most children today who are honest when it doesn't cost anything, but who lie and cheat when it serves their purpose.
"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased [depraved] mind, to do those things which are not fitting.... They are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them." Romans 1:28-32
12. God has a better way. When His children choose to follow His ways, He gives them a heart to love Him, spiritual eyes that can understand and delight in His Word, a sense of His presence and a confidence in His constant care -- no matter what happens around us. Harry Potter's deceptive thrills are worse than worthless when compared to the wonderful riches our Shepherd promises those who will ignore evil and walk with Him.
*sigh*
I am not a big fan, only seen the first two movies. Read none of the books.
Wonder if the people who believe this stuff would listen if I said- "IT'S A FEAKING BOOK!!"
Dumb fucks.
I mean- come on.
It's fictional work. Sort of like the bible... that you pass off as real.
You have to love sisters. Having dinner with Nita (birdy) we talk of many subjects. One being the fly in her cinn mins today from Burger King.
"There it was- right there. A dead fly. On the LAST one."
"Sure it was the only one?" I ask, being mean as sis is border line germ phob.
"Yes." She answer in a I am not thinking any other way.
"Only one you seen, at least." I say with a evil grin, just egging it on.
She looks at me, and said "Do you want me to talk about having my ears vac out? The needles I have had put..." That is when I turn green, and am ready to upchuck my steak.
She grins and said in her smart little way "I thought you would change your tune."
Damn her- she knows the whole medical stuff makes my stomach weak. Been in to many nasty homes to be a germ phob, but start talking about medical stuff... *spits out bad taste in my mouth*
But I happen to know a few thing to make my birdy cringe.Talk about cutting a picture out of a book... or ... *gasp* ...Fold a corner of a page down to mark your spot in a book. Open one flat out, hurting the binding. Be it a hardback, paperback, or a magazine it will make her cuss. LOL
O.o Should I not of told that??? Hmmmm...
We stop for icecream and a fly made its way into my car as we waited in the drive thru. I looked at her and she looked at me, and we both busted out laughing.
Might want to spend some money to make some money... and save lifes???

Reading up on the news I missed this week, and read:
195 killed in Brazil airport crash
Wednesday July 18, 2007
Up to 180 crew and passengers are believed to have died when a jet crashed and burst into flames after landing in driving rain at Brazil's busiest airport.
An official said at least another 15 people died on the ground after the Airbus-32 skidded across a busy avenue during Tuesday's evening rush hour and crashed into a gas station and a building owned by the airline, erupting into flames.
The runway at Congonhas airport has been repeatedly criticised for being too short, and two planes slipped off it in rainy weather just a day earlier, although no one was injured in either incident.

Then I find this in the AOL Money news:
IATA raises its forecast of net profit for airlines to US$3.8 billion in 2007
The airlines are expected to earn a combined profit of US$3.8 billion in 2007, up from a previously forecast $2.5-billion, due to improving traffic and efficiency, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
It's Friday - off the whole weekend. (but for showing a rental some)
Move went off without a hitch today, even passed a scale house Vehicle Enforcement check. *big smile*
Going out to dinner with my sister, then to bed early.
This weekend weather is high 80's. No humidity. Little wind. Can we say camp fire Sat night? Looking up at the night sky? Yes... that just makes me smile.
Another reason to say off the forums on Vampire Rave.

Vampire Constipation: Main Forum. Ok… you know I do not post in the forum. And I have told you why. From stupid threads, to threads that are beyond my education, I don’t see a place for me there.
No big lost as I see it. But from this thread- it is to several people.
Points I liked:
Let role player/ fantasy have their place. They are going to be on this site. Face it, and deal with it.
Grammar and spelling. I am the last person to comment on this, as my writing skills is very offensive to those who spoke of it. But you will have errors, from 13 year olds to 40 plus. Should a thread be shut down due to the errors? *shrugs* Yes- if they are so terrible you can not read them.
I agree we should police any thread we make, post we add.
But it brings up an interesting question- all the comments on grammar and forming of sentences. How about deleting profile for them? Even paid members?
You have to take into account this is a money maker for Cancer. It has to pay its way, and that means members, paid or not paid. Those nice ads on the site? How do you sale ads? You tell the customer how many people you can reach, the numbers you have on your site.
But… and you know I would have at least one of those…
I notice no one brought up taking the 10% out of the scoring. Those who post to make that “Posting Score” will most likely stop when they, as they see it, don’t have to do it.
I have to say- There were postings that I found to be very condescending.
This does not help the problem folks. It will only make people leave the site, angry at the attitude shown.
And truth be told- it pissed me off a little.
But then- I might not have the brain power to know better.
*shrugs* But a person who does not deal with the forum, I should just leave it alone. Reason this is in my journal- were few will see it, and not in the forum.
It's this man's 33rd birthday. He gets a package at the Post Office and goes to collect it. At the counter the woman brings his package to him, and the man says, "It's my birthday today." "Oh, happy birthday, how old are you?," asks the Post Office worker. "33," says the man. "Well, have a good day," says the worker. "Thank you," replied the man.
To get home, the man has to take the bus. At the bus stop an old lady walks up and waits soon after he arrives. The man says to the old lady, "It's my birthday today." "Oh, happy birthday," says the old lady. "I'm..." "No don't tell me," interjects the old lady, "I know a unique way of telling how old somebody is." "Oh yeah? What's that then," asks the man. "If I can feel your balls for about 5 minutes, I can tell exactly how many years old you are," says the old lady.
"I don't believe it." "Well let me prove it!" "I'm not going to let you feel my balls!," says the man. "Oh well, I guess you'll never know then," replies the lady. After a couple of minutes curiosity gets the better of the man and he says, "Oh, okay then, you can do it." After a good feel of the man's balls the woman finally takes her hands out of his pants.
"You are 33 years old exactly," she exclaims! "How the fuck did you know that?!," exclaims the man, impressed. "I was behind you in the line at the Post Office," said the lady.
RENO, Nev. (July 15) - A couple who authorities say were so obsessed with the Internet and video games that they left their babies starving and suffering other health problems have pleaded guilty to child neglect.
The children of Michael and Iana Straw, a boy age 22 months and a girl age 11 months, were severely malnourished and near death last month when doctors saw them after social workers took them to a hospital, authorities said. Both children are doing well and gaining weight in foster care, prosecutor Kelli Ann Viloria told the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Michael Straw, 25, and Iana Straw, 23, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts each of child neglect. Each faces a maximum 12-year prison sentence.
Viloria said the Reno couple were too distracted by online video games, mainly the fantasy role-playing "Dungeons & Dragons" series, to give their children proper care.
"They had food; they just chose not to give it to their kids because they were too busy playing video games," Viloria told the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Police said hospital staff had to shave the head of the girl because her hair was matted with cat urine. The 10-pound girl also had a mouth infection, dry skin and severe dehydration.
Her brother had to be treated for starvation and a genital infection. His lack of muscle development caused him difficulty in walking, investigators said.
The main forum. I just spent a few minutes and see that a website has done a highlight of this sites forum, making fun of the people here.
Tell you the truth- I never go over there (main forum) anymore. Hell- Dear Biddy was closed and old news by the time I found it.
And when I do- maybe once or twice a week I see Dominars who care for the site, and try to keep it up to standard. I know you might disagree- but listen. These people do the job because they want to. Would you? I know I would never do it.
Yes- I like a debate. I like to take a subject and talk to people who have different takes on it. Listen and learn. To me that is what a forum should be. Able to ask questions and not be made fun of.
But some of the shit on the main forum... either makes me laugh at how people believe this stuff. Or it makes me say "What the hell does that mean?"
And I will freely admit there are more then a few that was WAY WAY WAY over my head to try to understand.
But it will not change, it can't change. It is what it is. Just as I will not change my mind on it.
I need to redo my profile. I have wanted to change the background for months- and found one that will take me to fall. I found the pictures, art too.
But the idea to write about me, to make the normal profile ...*shiver*
I know - I know... I write everyday in my journal telling people about myself. But you have to want to read that... right? I mean you clicked to come here.
But to sit down in front of a blank screen, knowing the words I put into that little black box will be the first, and most likely, the only thing someone will read about me, makes me very nervous.
Okay I really don't care about being precieved as annoying or hated but I really don't like the idea of everyone rating a blank profile and rating it...putting their lil stamps on it...just to raise there own status....
I will be rating 1's to any one else who does this not really caring about the little hate messages I will likely recieve or any other comment about how you don't care (I don't want to read stupid messages like that).
I find it a little ironic so many people are being friendly but don't pay any attention to what my profile says, noticed quite a few people going back and re-rating me after I do exactly as I say I will.
If no one reads this then it's there own fault, but otherwise have a good day.
Damn- guess he did not like the stamp.
I also love how he brags about people returning once he gives them a one. Guess he expects you to return and give him a one, as he is trying for worst rated.
Thinking of giving him a ten just to piss him off. *grins*
Hate message? Nah...not my style.
Friendly? Honey- you are the new kid in the play ground. You got a hello ... its your job to make a place here, not mine. Playground Rules.
Taking mom lunch today, I went into her kitchen to get her a drink. I told her I was stealing some pop and grabbing three cans I walk into the living room. She looks at me and asks if I was going to drink all three pops.
The refrigerator in the office has no diet in it, so ..yeah. I smiled at her as I walked out her front door. “One for lunch, one later and you never know- I might drink one in the morning. You can never tell… I am a wild child. Wild I tell ya.” I heard the words “Smart ass” and a laugh just before the door closes behind me. :)
Taking the car down to the office, I park, and grab the plastic bag that holds sisters and my lunch. Grab the bank bag, and the binder … I put the pops into my purse, and open the car door. By the way- I hate Chevy. The door on the car will not stay open. I hold it open with my foot, leg, then hip as I stand… and what happens? Purse swings off my shoulder, hits the car, and out falls two of the pop cans.
One rolls under the car, while the other one busted, spraying pop everywhere. Now when I say everywhere- let me tell you were. My shirt, my glasses, my tan dress pants and shoes. Does it end here? Noooo… the damn thing rolls and sprays pop on one of the guys huge SUV.
O-O
So- I got to spend thirty minutes digging out the truck washing pressure washer and stuff, and washing it. He will be so happy when he gets in later this evening. :)
So I am sitting here, sticky, stained clothing, looking out at the nicely washed SUV, eating my cold lunch. And freaking drinking my one diet pop.
Moral of the story- do not sass your mother. I swear they can curse you. lol
I swear- I am going to take my shit over to vampirefreak and start a profile. And its going to have VAMPIRERAVE stamp all over it... and on my pictures.
Lazy ass people who wan't even take that shit off...
Why does Nita not believe me when I bitch, telling her about something that happen on VR, ending it with "... but I was NICE about it, and did not chew her ass out."
"Did you say something?" "Of course I did."
And she gives me a "Huh." And a look if not believing me.
She has come out to play... but watch out for the poo. O-O

Having dinner with the Birdy, she tells me she has reworked her profile. Miss. 'I don't want anyone to know me' has finally given over and put a little of 'herself' here.
She even tells me she stolen a few pictures I had on photobucket, and took a picture of Connie and I off my journal. When I gave her a look, she tells me "You will get over it."
LOL- nice to see the true NITA is coming out to play a little. ;)
Soooo.... I was looking for pictures of mint. Yes- mint, the herb. *smiles* Nevermind. I notice a video on the bottom of the page, and had to click on it. ROFLMAO. You have got to see this...

Good night to me.
Ohhh share this with you. Song came on the radio and I was in the truck with two guys. lol Let's just say I had them singing before it was over and swaying with me from side to side.
I almost did it. I went to the forum and had to click on this one.

I click to answer- and typed this out:
OK- what the hell? You think someone here was alive at that time? Read. Do some research, damn it. But even then- can you take it as truth? Like any words in print- you take them with a grain of salt.
There is several answers to what happen to him, and as there is no true vampire here to answer your question, why ask a stupid one?
Oppss... maybe I miss spoke. Lets wait and see if the "true vampires" step forth to answer this question.
Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he 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, brought the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Today was not a good day for me. Family problems that I do wish to write about in my journal.
Cat and Puppy tells me people read my journal and that I need to watch what I write. Well- they never said that, but it makes me hold back a little at the personal stuff.
But I need to just let myself put this in words. So... sorry if this affends anyone. ok.
Today... our family has a problem, and we were taking steps to handle it. As this involved a member of our family, who needs medical treatment, I could see the light at the end of the long tunnel.
But then my parents stop the movement. They do not want to take the final step that NEEDS taken. That HAS to be done. They see it as turning there backs on their son.
I just wish they would see it as helping him, not harming him. He NEEDS this. And THEY need this.
Anger, sadness, crying, guilt at my wanting him to be put in the hospital that he needs.
But I see if he stays- he can hurt my mother.
Yes- he would never do it, if he was not slowly losing his mind. My adopted brother is what people call mental retarded.
All I can remember tonight is the boy who pulled me as I sat in the little red wagon as a child. The one who pushed me on the swing, and laughted with his eyes.
I want my brother back.. and this cold hard stranger to go away.
Went to a town this morning that I always looking forward to. Why? It has a wonderful old country style restaurant. Now… you have to remember I live in a small town, and this town is smaller then mine. The restaurant is built on the side of a stockyard building. Stockyard as in the place farmers take animals to sale.
O.o Yeap- best country ham I ever ate in my life.
We did a huge move of antiques from an old, old hotel that had been closed for years. #40 rooms, four or five lounges, four floors with no elevator. My gods- but the furniture that went out of that building. I went to the auction and one of the bedrooms sold for $29,000 to a dealer in California.
The lady who owned the hotel made a killing, and she sold the land to a well known bank that tore down the hotel. Say she made another killing on that deal to. But she was a super nice lady who was, as my dad would say “Salt of the earth.” Meaning she was a country girl who was not above her raising.
But let’s get back to the restaurant. We spent over two weeks in that town. Every morning we would eat at this place, breakfast and maybe a dinner or two if we worked late. As I drove this morning I had ham on my mind. We walked in and I order country ham to only be told they did not have any. “As we are closing in 3 weeks, I did not order any.”
Yes, they are being torn down to make room for a newer, fancy stockyard. And no- they will not open another restaurant.
Fond memories that my Father and I talked about as we ate our last meal in this little country place, farmers still sitting around drinking coffee and talking of the weather.
Places like these are getting harder and harder to find.
Or I am just getting order and notice the changes more and more.
Birdy comes in and sits in front of the Cat and Rat. Birdy looks right at the Rat and ask "So- what have you done?" "Nothing. I have been a angel." Rat smiles, proud of herself. Birdy looks at the Cat, who rolls her eyes.
Birdy returns her glaze onto the Rat. "I promised to behave while you were gone, Birdy. And I did. Cat has a few more gray hairs, but come on... she has so many- who can notice?"
Rat head snaps forward as the cat's tail slaps her head from behind. Puppy walks in about then, and joins in. "Well- the Rat did behave when she could of thrown a fit..." Everyone agrees. "But she has been picking on the Cat."
Rat looks at the puppy, stun. "I have not!" "You have to." both the cat and the puppy say at once. "HAVE NOT!" "HAVE!" "HAVE NOT!" "HAVE!... rodent."
Rat stands and puts her hands on her hips "Listen your gaint flea covered furballs from hell- I have been a perfect angel these last two weeks and you BETTER tell the bird that."
Birdy's wings spread out and rat looks over her shoulder and smiles sweetly.
Cat smerks. Rat reachs over and pulls her fur. She stands up quickly, and the puppy gets her paw stomp on, giving out a small whine.
A growl, a hiss, and the rat lets out a stinky fart with a grin on her face. "Ate BBQ ribs for dinner."
Puppy covers her nose, cat eyes water, and the birdy steps back a little and shakes her head. "I have step back into the funny farm, I swear..."
2:30am, 100 miles away from home, and we leave the Role Playing Game.
The cat notice the full moon with cloud over it. She grabs her camera out of her purse and try for a shot. "Damn electric wires." We pass the graveyard, and I offer to go in, as she should be able to get a clean shot there.
"No. This late, there would be a cop notice us within minutes. I can just see your answer if he ask what you are doing there at 2:30am."
"Why officer- I just got done being a vampire for hours.Were else would I go?"
Think I would of gotten a ticket??
LOL
O.o
An Connie.... Try and not have dreams of dogs...Wolf Hounds. Ohhh baby- anyone told you you have sexy fur??? Yeah baby- give me a growl.
ROFL.
By the way- welcome home Birdy. Missed ya. :) And wasn't Sonny pretty? (her suv that I cleaned for her)
Ok- Its 4:24 am, and I am going to bed. And NO ONE had better call before NOON!!
