LOVE the background. Don't tell Cancer but I tried to steal it as my computer background. Didn't work. Dang the code hunk that he is. ;)
Even in lurking it shows you coming online. :(
I really like reading journals on that site as the eggplant color is so calming to my eyes. :) Read about Otter adding pictures to her portfolio and found out the stalk, biting, and portfolios are not on the site. OooooK.
So all in all another great job!
Now to get my butt up off this lazyboy and start the housework and decorate my tree for Yule. Have I told you how much I love having four days off? lol
Plans for the night is curling up with a good movie and doing some Sentoran work on the sites. Still got three Houses to stick my rat nose into. lol
Thinking.. the design of the background in the new website would make a good chair covering or curtain material :) It is funky!

Otter is right- I need to make time to do things that I enjoy. Spent three hours last night doing the makeup (over 2 hours) and taking this pictures (about 20 mins.). From a picture I had seen in a makeup book, your tube videos, photobucket pictures of winter makeup and the glitter wreath in my bathroom when the sun hits it - this ideal came about. My winter profile in the making. :)
So Thanksgiving went well. Better then I expected. We talked of Dad, changed a few things about the holiday as far as what we always did each year. Then today I went down for left overs and Kim came walking into the house as Mom and sisters was having a debate over the Mumbai events. Kim is the oldest sister that left the family twenty years ago, and have not seen her before dad's death for three years.
It was a nice visit. *bites tongue*
No really- I was shocked she came by even thou her husband family lives three towns over, they live in Ohio. So... ok. Guess she got over the "words" we had at dad's funeral when she plastered the inside of his coffin with pictures (8 total) of his "only grandchild" as she told me. I told her he would not know who she was as he only seen her once but I put the pictures in his suit jacket, so get over it and stop being a drama queen. But then... that is Kim so. But that would of just set my mother off- seeing that when Kim does not even call or visit. Hell- she had to speak to me at the funeral home before I came to realise it was my sister as we had not seen or talked to her in over ten years.
Anyway- it was a suprise to all of us she showed since she has not called in the last ten weeks to check on Mom or us.
That pic looks great..... Family yeah they do make things interesting don't they....I would love to shoot some of mine that is for sure..Glad thanksgiving turned out good though.

Ode to Thanksgiving
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
:)
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Take time and enjoy those around you this year, be safe and don't eat too much.
Whoo Hooo! Nothing like hugging the one and only Bones, making beasty purr and the cat laugh.
O.o That did not sound right, did it?
Bones for helping me with my truck questions, Nogirrom aka beasty as he pounces dust bunnies in the House... Cat is Nightgame that I just got off the phone with, sharing a few laughs with. :)
And I don't know why I had to explain that. lol
People on this site are great! At least the ones I talk to. :)
Woo Hoo you had a wicked evening then... I really needed the laughing especially the IRA joke!

Is $32,000 to much of a 2005 International? 466 motor, 6 speed, air breaks, blah blah blah. Its has a cd player. :) Nice truck but for it being yellow. It's a rental company truck. BUT- it has 47,000 miles. See- that kind of throws me a little. Then I found one in the next state- same year with 91,000 miles for $26,525.
And the local salesman is starting to piss me off. He acts like I should buy what ever he brings over to me. Seems he doesn't understand I am shopping around, looking for a deal. He is not that pretty that I am going to buy a truck with a motor that is just prime to start having problems- that is what I am trying to get away from asshole. And if you will not get me what I want- there are plenty that will. Money spends everywhere and right now these trucks are not flying off the lot, if you know what I mean. And him telling me if I buy it before the end of the year I can take it all off on this years taxes. Boy- he does not know my CPA. And I don't like the pressure he is trying to put on me. "Last year I had to pay $44,000 taxes on my company, and what I made....so if you buy it now you can take it all off this year." In late December? Really? Why the fuck are you out sealing trucks is my question if you make that much money.
*sighs and kicks older trucks tires* I hate buying trucks. I hate trying to get you fixed. I hate when you don't run. I hate dealing with salesmen. Really hate that shit.
I love trucks...just hate this part of it. I just want to get in them and drive, I want to hear the hum of the motor, hands on the huge steering wheel. Air brakes whoooshing... I don't want the "work" part of them, just the fun stuff.
*pats the trucks tire* Nothing against you of course. You been a good old truck, paid for yourself many times over. :) Just wish I had someone to help me with this... if dad was buying it we would talk about it. Of course he would buy what he wanted, just telling me how much to get into the account. lol
I don't want to. To me leasing is like renting- you don't get anything in return. I don't mind doing repairs and I will get better at it as I go, learn things. I just like to have a newer trucks that it is not something everyday.
:)

Wet cold day at work today. Started before the sun came up, and home after dark. Low 40's and rained on all freaking day. Job went well so guess I shouldn't bitch. Moved a lady who we have moved her and her family at least half a dozen times in the last ten years.
Sad part- it was a job dad would of went on just to visit with her. He had always gone on her job. So this morning on the ride down alone in my car I built my willpower up to hear the "Were is Tommy at?" But she knew he had pasted away and she told me how sorry she was to read it in the newspaper.
Anyway.... Sis is getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner. I know we need to do it but I really don't want to. It will be wrong to sit at the table without dad at the head of it. Him stealing devil eggs while mom is making them. Like today- driviing to make the delivery, following the truck I keep looking over at the seat next to me and wishing he was there, talking to me, turning the heat up on me, telling me to slow down as it was raining. Just being there with me.
Your stories and words mean so much. I can look at my life and my family and smile, love them more, because a wise woman I've been fortunate enough to know a little part of reminded me to be grateful and count my blessings without a lecture or words that won't mean anything until years from now.
She told her own stories and her strength and laughter reached my heart and mind in ways that I'll never forget.
I have read so much here that I think I should qualify for a VR grant towards reading glasses heh!

I went to bed last night around 10:30, watching a ghost shows till around midnight. Woke up around 9:00 am, played on VR a little then I took a nap as I could not keep my eyes open.
I woke up again at 4:16 pm.
O.o
And no I did not take the pain killer Birdy... guess I was just worn out.
You needed it after this week. I 'm glad you got some rest sis.

It is done. :)
The hospital big wig came down to "visit" and the man we have been working with for the last four days introduced me and said we had been lifesaver to the project. We talked a little and he said he would see that we would get more work from them in the future.
Rat settles in with a full belly, the house getting warm as the heat runs. Three days out in the cold and rat just wants to get her bones warm....the problem started when she started checking profiles....reading them...eyes glazed over...yawns.... warm.....mmmmmm.....rat curls into her bed and closes her eyes....warm....*snores*
Just talked to Jerry. Jerry was dad's friend and is our mechanics. Yes- we talk mostly at night as that is when we both can reach each other it seems. I called to ask him about the trucks that I am having problems starting. He is coming over to check the batteries and alternators to be safe. His word "to be safe, that is what your dad would of done." Ahhh... he is a sweetie.
I started to tell him of the truck but his first question was "How many miles and what year?" I said 2000 with 178, 6 something." "NO." Like that- NO.
I laughed and said I knew that is what he would say. He asked if it had a DE406 or something motor and I said yes. He said "NO way, that is smaller motor then the trucks you have now but for the pack vans."
It was so like talking to dad. :) Trust me- he, my older cousin who been driving trucks since dad taught him when he was 16, and one more mechanic will be asked what they think before I ever buy anything. I might not know a lot about motors but I know who to ask, and who I can trust.
Please.. you know sooo much that I would love to know. Belly dancing, horse riding, acting, photo taking, lighting, computers, and the list can go on and on. :)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who messes up and posts comments from the wrong account.

And so it starts. Truck dealer a few towns away is hunting a truck for me. Not that I will buy it from him but he is trying to find me one that meets my needs. Meaning- he is willing to do the leg work. Once he does I will then shop around to see who has the best deal. So we meet last week and he tells me of a 2005 International that had low miles. Fits my needs so he tells me he would bring it by and let me see it, test drive it.
Ready to walk out of the office and an International pulls into the parking lot. It is one he wants me to look at according to the man who was driving it, but not the 2005 model. It has a van body that I don’t need, power tailgate I don’t want. “Sure we can take that off.” Ok… but kind of hard to look at as what I saw were hoses running up the frame to the motor…hydraulic pump runs off the motor? Hmmm.
Then I climb up into it as he tells me how low the miles are. First thing I notice was the smallness. I mean- the seat was little. “This truck doesn’t have as much room as my older ones.” “Sure they do honey. You’re just not use to being in them.” If you read my earlier journal entry you know I have bite my tongue all day around people like him. “Well you are mistaken as I am use to these trucks.” He climbs in to “show me” how roomy it was. Now- my guys are not small. They got some weight to them and I have sit in the middle plenty of times on 3 or 4 hours drive to a job with our hips hitting. There was no way in hell another person would fit between us.
Not wanting to fight I start looking around the truck’s dash as he tells me this and that. One- standard brakes. I want air brakes. Two- the truck is only 4 years younger then the ones I am trying to replace. Three- the price is way to freaking high. So I am sitting there and asked myself what dad would do- would he buy it? No. If he was going in debt for a few years then he would get what he wanted. He would have told me to get what I wanted as I was the one working for it. So I climb out and the man comes around to the driver side and tells me it was road ready. “Great. But I don’t want it as its nothing that I asked for.” “What is the problem with it?” *bites tongue again* “Well- motor is not powerful enough by the time you put these 16ft moving vans on it, not this little 10 or 12 ft van. Then add up to 14,000 lbs of furniture. Not enough room in the cab and to old of a model. I want something newer then 2000. And I just don’t like it.”
He acted like I insulted him. I think it was the “I just don’t like it” that did it. lol “The newer trucks are going to cost you a lot more. And it’s hard to get a loan these days.” Then he looks around at my older trucks with a look of “As if you could afford it.” Well I might of hard two days of hell trying to get these old trucks to start, cussing and kicking a few tires as they refuse to start in the 20 tempts but I also know that comes with diesels. It’s the nature of the beast, even new ones. But those are my trucks and this little fucker need to remember that. I gave a laugh and smiled at him. “Who said anything about a loan? I will write a check for the truck I buy. But take my word for it- it sure the hell is not going to be this or any truck that don’t make me say ‘Uuuuuh…. I want.’ Now you have a safe trip back to the dealer and thanks for bringing it by.” I left him as I went back to lock my office up and go home for the day.
Ok so I am going to get a loan for the $25,000 - $27,000 but I also know I will be getting the loan from the bank as I have the money to back it up. Hell- I have bills on my desk from this year that has not been sent out of yet that can pay for half of it. Like I said- Back your shit up dude. I love trucks… I just hate all the stuff that goes with them.
I soooo get this. Typically my car deals have taken me 8-10 hours at the dealership. By the time I'm done with them I feel screwed and thankfully so do they. Best part is, I walk away having paid less than the deal they give employees.
Two web sites to get VERY familiar with if buying used:
Kellybluebook.com
NADA.com (choose consumer)
ALSO- pay the $26.00 for an online subscription to consumer reports.com LOOK UP any car/truck you are thinking of- find out how they are, what years are better, etc. Spending 2 hours on these sites now, will save you between 4,000 and 5,000 dollars either in talking the dealer down- OR by getting more "perks" in the truck. :)
Otter- you know I would not say a word to you. :) I would not want to end up wearing the ice cream. lol

Somedays, like today, I just like to tell people to
Back you god damn shit up!!
*sigh*
My tongue is sore is all I can say. But when I left them today they are happy...complete fucking 'don't know what the plan is- oh, maybe those don't need to go there' assholes but happy. Why? Because my men worked more then they should of due to those guys not knowing shit. They promised me they would do better the next two days.
Grrrr.
*rat goes and sit in her own corner and puts music on*
You know- the news is just depressing as hell. Looks like Kentucky auto jobs are ending. This will effect 35,000 jobs of the suppliers to the plant the news said.
*sighs and goes to turn her heat down, turn off a few lights*
Times are going to be hard this winter.
This week at work we are taking out the local hospital that is adding on. Storage has been going on for close to 6 months. Sad as this was Dad's last big job her helped me with. Dad had placed the items in the warehouse- not been moved since. He had it so clean, in order. He was one hell of a warehouseman. I am not going to cry damn it- fought it all day.
And it leaves me with two warehouses empty. With no income to pay its bills of insurance, upkeep. Thank god I don't pay rent on them. But that is alright. Something will come along as daddy would tell me. And he was right- something always came along.
Cold here- like in the 20's at night. The trucks just would not start today, even being plug in to keep the old diesel motors warm. We had a man from the hospital here to mark the items and tell us how he wanted it delivered these next three days. That means I had to control five men to see that it was done the way he wanted. All the trucks was called into service, so we had to get them started in weather that they hate starting in. Dad would of loved it. :) Me? Not so much but my guys helped me with the battery charger to boost them off.
So- wish me luck for the next three days as this is a big job for our small company. I know we will do our best.
Rat comes out of the last Coven and turns toward the Houses. She sits down on the curb and takes a break, and thinks of her last few weeks on VR playground.
You know- I like being a Sentoran. It gives me something to do as I have not been in a talking mood of late. Just... kind of want to be quite and heal a little I guess. And I am not going to lie- it is nice to have that trust given to me. I know its a honor and treat it as such.
First thing I did was check all the coven members. Got a few people mad, been told I am abusing my power. What ever...I just trying to be fair and treat people the same. Like my profile reads- I am not here to make people love me. When I took this role I took it understanding it will be as in my real life- I treat you the same as the next guy. We put our pants on the same way as anyone else. Only two people on this site that I worry about pleasing and that is Cancer and Joli.
Seems a few of my friends don't see it that way and that is alright. Seems people I never talked to before are my best friends now, and some that did talk to me before now sees me as an "Admin" bitch and will not even say hi.
*rat rubs at her stinged fur, seeing a few new scratchs*
See- thing is I care about VR. I care that it stays the way it is. I want to keep it safe for those younger people who come here to learn, to explore the darker side. I am not here to be a drama queen, to fight with anyone. Before this job I did what I could to help the site, its not like I just started now.
Anyway...
*rat stands and heads down the street toward the Houses*
omg omg omg *runs around in a panic* She's headed for the Houses and we're on top..... hey wait a darn minute- she's done "abused" me already. *oh yea it was a turn on* lol
*Owl flys in carrying the official Sentoran first aid kit* It has ointment for those new scratches, sticks and stones---to throw back at people and a couple flares to send up when you are getting abused. The other Sentorans come running.
I warned you when you took this job, that we weren't always going to be liked. *hugs* You survived so far. Have fun in the houses....
If someone is going to stop talking to you because you have a title- then perhaps it is good ridden to the lot of them. You're doing an amazing job- and I would say that even if you suspended me or any of my posse (not to be confused with a possum or a rackoon). Anyone who loves VR should take the time and energy to make sure they are in compliance with the rules and regulation.
All you care about pleasing is Cancer and Joli?? =( Hell, I'm way easier to please then either of those guys...I just require a couple of cookies...or maybe some homemade biscuits. Cancer, wow...who knows, and Joli...scared to find out! LOL ;)

Message in my inbox:
"goddam private journal entries.
How am I supposed to learn more about you if you won't let me in? You live too far away to stalk."
I like that turtle. Right after that second of creepiness passed that is. lol
Went to the local truck stop this afternoon to fuel the trucks and get weights. I am with four men and the two trucks. I don’t like going to the truck stop here as most people come up to me and talk of dad. Not that they talk of Dad, just…well…it makes me sad. So we fuel up and I tell the two drivers to run the trucks over the scales as I go inside. Standing in line to pay the fuel bill and the weight tickets the man behind the counter ask me when I step up to pay my bill “So who is running that place now?” I looked around, thinking he was talking to one of the four or five men around me when I looked up from signing the charge to see he is talking to me. What the fuck?! Ok… well… I stood, just stun, tears coming to my eyes. Then a memory flashed in my minds eye.
My divorce. My father did not like my ex and he was right not to. He was good at making you feel like shit, making you question your worth even as he sat and let me support him and his payments for over a year. I remember giving it a year to change and when it did not- I left. Sorry- but the only person I am working to support is me. A man with a accounting degree can get a job. He just did not want to, did not have to. He did within a week of me leaving as a janitor at a large company.
I flashed back to the time right after we broke up. Me crying, heart broken… looking back at it I had to smile. I was such a whiney ass. Dad helped me though it, as he has all the bad things in my life. If I have any words of wisdom it was given to me by my parents. Back to the mind flash- it was at a truck wash. Seems most of my life has trucks in it, don’t it? lol
Dad took me with him to help wash a straight job truck- at a car wash. Big coal truck area so our car washes has truck areas too. I remember standing and crying and dad putting the wand in my hand and said “It’s a shame to see what you are letting him do to you. Hell straighten up and get some back bone. You going to live like this for the rest of your life?” Harsh you might say but that was my daddy. He would put it on the table for ya.
Today I heard that voice again. I picked up my signed credit card slip and straighten my backbone. I cough to clear my throat and handed it back to the man. “His family is. The same people who have helped run it for 30 years.” He took the card and went along his business.
Dad would not want his death to affect me this way. While I am sure I will have hard days ahead of me- I also am able to see now that he would want me to straighten up and take charge of my life, of his business and see that mom is taken care of.
If you read my journal and been with me these last two months...hang on folks… it’s going to be a bumpy ride. :)
That Birdie better not try calling shotgun on me or I'll prove mine is bigger than hers!
(guns you naughty minded folks)
Now this is what I've been waiting for I knew you'd remember how he was after the divorce because I know he's the one who kicked your ass straight then too.
*I got my seat belt on so bring on the roller coaster*
*flys in and settles onto the top of the car, spreading her wings* I'm here....ready for the bumpy ride. I will always be right here with you Rat!

Ok I have seen this ad for a few days and really- someone tell me what the hell is that in the picture? The first picture of the woman who looks like she sucked on a lemon with the puckered lips. But that is not what irks me. It’s the *rat motions to her own chest area* the boob area. Is that duct tape? What the hell are those things?
And if you were spending money on ad space- why the hell would you use pictures that are grainy as hell? Really- no way makes me want to go look at the site. It’s just ugly. But that is my opinion and like assholes- everyone has one, acted like one or... something like that.
*hugs* I get that a lot even though its been about 4 years now....... well hugs to you hun

Been sick, not feeling well. Its cold here but no snow. Rain. Got lots of rain. The job the last two days has really sucked. I don't know why I am doing this job. I wanted out of it before Dad passed away- seems to just get harder and harder to face it. I swear Monday I don't know if I was crying walking into the office due to me missing Dad or me just not wanting to be there. Only been two months... I have to give it time to heal. That is in my head- I understand that.
Just.... want to stop feeling this sad, pain in my heart. I want his humor, knowing he was close by if I needed to ask something, to call upon. I want his ears to listen to me, help me make these changes. I want his heavy sigh when I did something he did not like, his smile when I did as he wanted, and the "You are just like your mother." when I stuck to my guns. I want his fun, his pat on the back when I needed it, his words that pulled me back when I needed them.
I want my mother to smile. I want her to not be so alone, even with my sister living with her during the week. I want her to have someone to talk to that knew her pass, who had lived with her all her life. The young man she meet and married. She tells us she expected to die first- never thought she would be without him.
I wish my sisters could have their lives back. One moving in with mom, staying with her during the week, packing to give up her own home. The other one coming 200 miles to stay with her the two days she has off, giving us a break.
Brother who is lost, has such a sad look in his eyes, unable to understand. The weekend trips to flea markets and truck stops gone. The little things like mowing yards and puttering around with dad a thing of the past.
So yeah... not been on much. When I have been not been in a talking mood.
*Owl flies in with a dozen Chocolate Chip Cookies. She sets them down in front of the Rat and pulls her under her wing.*
I wish I could tell you some wonderful words of wisdom, that would make your pain evaporate. Unfortunately, I don't have them.
All I can say, is remember him and the joy of him. In time the pain will ease and you will be able to remember him without the anguish. *hugs you tight* I love you sis.
Sis I can tell you that your Mom will slowly recover some she will never stop missing him nor will you all but you're right about it taking time. All the adjustments you are all doing does keep it all so fresh too. Plus it's a depressing day both the holiday that he put the meaning into for you and the weather. *hugs you tight*
I can give you the best piece of advice I got last week...
"You can get thru this." (said with much confidence)
Do you remember those words? It was you who gave them to me, when I most needed to hear them. Now, I'm offering them back to you. You can get through this. You will get through this.
More wise advice that you gave me...
Remember the good things. Don't let yourself drown in the sadness.
Sequel to the war games? heh..VW has got a sequel to VR profiles now with the launch of Sci-Fi and yet more to come haha! Will ya ever get a chance to sleep now darling?

Oh come ON! Someone make a Serenity group would ya? Please. *rat hopes up and down...waiting*
So we are seeing the Sci Fi site and how its set up.
First- going to keep the other accounts out of the site. This could so get out of hand. lol I have those profiles here- they need time. I have a job here- which I see is going to carry over to the other sites. That is cool- but I need to make time to do my job.
So-
I am in Emmy's Group- will see some great talks in there.
Stabb's Group- Finally a place I can let my evil side out in. Thank GOD! Thanks to Stabb and Bones. :)
Then I had to join the Battlestar Group. Sorry- but that is my favorite show.
Then we have the Stargate Group Elemental started. Now truth told- I would not of joined that group as I wanted to limit the ones I am in- but it's Birdy. lol I could not leave her out on that tree branch all alone.
So while I am looking forward to the site- I have to stop getting into stuff. :)
I was invited to join a group on there, and the person that invited me is very nice and stuff...but I don't plan on spending time on that site, I still have alot on here to work on right now so I don't think I'm going to join any groups. As a procurator I do add stuff to the scifi database...but that's about as much involvement I have with that site.
I can't say they rock as I'm not in one yet lol but the concept looks interesting and I have ideas for one of my own. I'm old enough to remember Star Wars etc before most of the users here were born :-D
You know I'm jumping up and down in excitement for the trek group. lol

I just don't trust people who have a blank profile on here. I know- its me not trusting people but... why are you here if you don't at least write something? No picture, no quote, nothing.
What do you expect out of this site?
Just.....don't like talking to these people. It's like they are trying to hide something. Stupid- as we all know people have no problems lieing on profiles.
My profile is blank, but yeah, I don't trust those other ones, at all.
Email for sis. :)

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table.
She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'
The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.' The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - Two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.
The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.'
The wife, and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish. So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!..the husband became 92 years old.
The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember fairies are female.
Idiot Number One of 2008
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter in to the emergency room right away.
Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.

Idiot Number Two of 2008
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming toward them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locater beacon that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer employed at Boeing.
Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.

Idiot Number Three of 2008
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this, 'Put all your muny in this bag.' While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, 'OK' and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

Idiot Number Four of 2008
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40. Wise guy........
But you still get a sign.

Idiot Number Five of 2008
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, 'Because I don't believe you are over 21.'
The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
This guy definitely needs a sign.

Idiot Number Six of 2008
A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, 'Nobody move!' When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
This guy doesn't even deserve a sign.

Idiot Number Seven of 2008
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event
was caught on videotape.
Yep, here's your sign.

Idiot Number Eight of 2008
I live in a semi-rural area. (Weyauwega, Wisconsin ) We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! - I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
I was working for Krystal before they opened for business, taking applications and filing them according to whether or not they were worth filling out. Two young black guys came in, filled out applications with their REAL names and phone numbers, then stole one of the manager's cell phones.
They couldn't understand how we knew where to send the police.

Been a sad and irritation day all around for me. Lack of sleep is really hurting my ability to handle this sadness that I am fighting every day. I just don’t … I know I need to do something. I just don’t know what it is. I think it’s to cry. I mean a snot running, moaning in pain crying jag. I start crying- but I make myself stop, that mask just tighten. But its at odd moments when I start to cry: work, driving. I understand why I make myself stop crying at times like that… it is not the place. But when I can- when I am safe from view and can let the tears flow, meaning at home alone… I still don’t do it. When did I close myself off to tears? To the release I think… that I know they will bring?
Today- well everything at work was pissing me off- lack of sleep. I meet with a man who buys old trucks and scrapes them out for parts. My daddy never threw anything away…or sold anything. Looking at the old motor parts, the old trucks that have not been moved in years…I felt so sad. Dad had started to clean up the back lot, hauling off junk this summer. When it got so hot he said he would do more once it cooled down. I would buy back anything he sold to just have him back for a day…one day to tell him I love him. See- told you it was a sad day for me.
Then I went to vote. I had to sign the book and right above me was my dad’s name. I put the pen down and just rub my finger over his name, seeing the Republican next to it. Dad lived in a home of women who are democrats. Talk about some good debates. He had talked of this election, how history was being made. I started to cry but I shoved that pain back down into the core of my body and I wipe the tears away. “You dad has not been here yet? Did he vote absentee?” the woman asked. The woman next to her put her hand on her arm and whispered “Tommy died a few months ago.”
She told me she was sorry but by then the mask was firmly in place. I waited my turn and went to the voting machine. I stood, looking down at the flashing lights, not really knowing who or why I was voting. The mood I am in I could care less…when I saw the Republican button. I smiled, reached up and hit it. Dad might not be here- but he got to vote in this history making election. I voted for the people he talked about- usually the ones I would not vote for. City Councilman I vote for all the women, then the two men that I knew he would have voted for. Wiping the tears away, saying in my head- You can’t have it all the way you want it dad. Really- he would have voted the same. He always said women ran the town better anyway or at least listen to reason better.
So today I did vote- for my daddy. They did not give out cool stickers like mouse and ferret is sporting, but still we voted.
Life has been so hard for you recently and you have faced it all so bravely and with dignity. You are one in a million Rat *hugs* And, I am sure your Father knew that also :)

Is it such a bad thing to visualize duct taping on mouths?
To dream you could hang the phone up on people who fucking piss you off?
Wanting to give the copier a shove to the floor when it tells you the ink carriage is out and you don‘t know how to replace it? And gods knows no one puts the freaking manual where you can find it. No- that would be too damn simple, wouldn't it?
To not bite your tongue when you call the propane company telling them you are out of gas for the forklift because they did not show up last Thursday to fill them up as is scheduled and you did not notice till you ran out this morning?
Tell the driver who is cussing because he is waiting you are sorry about hi wait when all you want to do is kick him between the legs and tell him to shut the fuck up?
And one more call- JUST ONE more voice message asking me to vote for so and so today… I swear the phones are going out the door.
