The old saying of "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." flashed into my mind a little while ago.
My sister, who is taking care of my mother and brother, sent me a nice late brunch. Eggs, a mystery meat that I am going to take as tenderloin, gravy on top of the mystery meat, and biscuit.
Gravy had way too much salt, but it was nice to have something to eat instead of sitting here all day with nothing. So you keep your mouth shut, right?
Seems my brother is snubing his nose up at anything she cooks of late. "What is wrong with it? Was there something wrong with that food? The meat was tender, the eggs cooked over easy." I kept my mouth shut and told her it was great, not to worry about it.
Seem brother is on a "I am not eating anything but sweats, chips, junk food." for the last three weeks. And it has her worried as he does have high blood pressure.
So- new plan. I don't buy anything sweat, no chips, no candy... nothing. We will see who wins this battle of wills.
Of course- my sister without chocolate is like a bear with a thorn up her ass... but we will see what he will eat when the sweats/ junk food is gone.
It was one of those movies I kind of wanted to watch, but not. The Mist. Knew it would not be a good movie, but since it was on TV this weekend I watched it. Only good part was at the end when he killed his own son, three other folks to keep them from being spider food. The look on his son's face as he aimed the gun at him was a creepy touch.
Then he step out of the car, crying out all "Take me, kill me" crap to only have the Army pulling up and the bugs leaving. If only he had held off for another minute he and his son would of lived. As well as the other three folks.
Shame when that is the only good part of a horror movie, the horror of knowing you killed them for nothing.

Heyyy..where's the spoiler alert? hahaha
Ooopps! :)
I watched it this weekend too! The ending was sad :(
And this is a case in which the movie version was more depressing than the actual story...
Put a doggie in the car and the drive thru folks are all yours. :)

Ha! I liked Sang Yoon's reply. Reminded me of how my grandmother used to give my brother and myself Cracker Jacks every time we went to visit her, the prize was always the best part of course :)
I lost myself in the comments of the story at hand of, whine whine whine.
hance to the point of here......
i'll shut up now lol :P
LOL! that was a brilliant comeback!
Today kind of went to hell in a hand basket. First- I woke up early to pee and laying back down in bed I looked at the clock to see it was 6:48 am. It was about the time I snuggled back in thinking I had another 30 mins or so before the clock went off that I remember we was starting at 7, not 8.
So- dressed, no shower, and got to work. I am walking in the door when my sister calls to tell me that the lady called and woke her up at around 4:30 this morning to cancel her apointment. She said, crying, that a death had happen in the family.
Part of me thinks.. really? While the other part thinks "Now- that was shitty. If she did have a death- shame on you!" And yes - that second part was said in my mother's vocie/tone. O.o
Sooooooooo...
The three men and I spent the 4 hour min they get paid cleaning the warehouse some more. Got the rental company storage room cleaned out, old paint, etc trashed. While other items pulled out for the yard sale.
Took a trip to the scrap yard and made $84.00. That is about 40 less then it costed me in labor today. *sigh*
But I feel for the boys- they was looking at a good check this week, gotten up to 20 hours already. They might of hit the big 30 if the lady hadn't canceled. :(
Found a frog in the office yesterday. I was thinking it was a green bug till it hopped. lol Screamed, and jumped out of my seat. I am such a whimp. I did put it outside, thank you. All by myself. :P
But then the dog found a snake in my mothers yard. We have not had a snake around here in years. My brother did that killing, and getting it out of the yard. Good dog, letting us know it was there.
Did I scream when I saw the snake? Bet your ass I did. Makes me shiver, ready to run just thinking about it now. Gods I hate snakes. Ok- I'm going to stop thinking about it before I throw up.
I really want to go home, get a shower, and do some laundry. Dust mites are killing me over at the warehouse.
Members make mistakes here. I have made several on the site and always try to go into helping them with that in my mind. "I have made mistakes too, some freaking stupid" is said in my mind as I deal with members when they have problems.
And with some- it is solved, and you never see them again. Other it is every freaking week, same shit, different day. It is so much like my life real work it is crazy.
They drive me nuts but even then I try to understand they are upset.
But the ones... the ones who just...
But when a member is told several times the rules, and just keeps breaking them with free profile after free profile, being suspended one right after the other- those are the people who just piss me the fuck off.
You know the rules. Don't like them then leave the site.
You are held to the same rules that we all are. Hell, I paid for all my memberships. Nothing is given to you for free. Why do you think you are above anyone here? And that is my rub- you think you are better, more special then anyone else here.
But the whole "I am above the law, not held to the same as you" shit just pushes my last button. It does in life, it does online. And then it is the whole "BUT but but.." bullshit.
Flat out- I just want to say this to you.
You are an asshole.
COMMENTS
I've been seeing similar posts by the other admin and I'm so not concerned by this individual but at least you understand that the other kids and adults on here do mess up from time to time and you take that in your stride and try to help. It's great that you give your time to this site free without the prats making life hard.
You rock sweetie. x
Exactly. There's so many people on here, who follow the rules, without even reading the rules to begin with, cus lets face it, who reads rules when theyjoin websites? we all click that little box that says i agree, half the time, we haven't read the terms.
But my point being, we all know the basic rules on here, word of mouth, or actually looking, either way, if we do break them, we are corrected, and don't do it again.
Damn i had a friend log into my profile, and we almost had every profile associated with that person banned, but we were warned, and we fixed it, and we stay off eachother's profiles. We didn't sit there thinking, oh give it a month, they wont know. Fuck that. I only need telling once.
I guess some people are too pig shit thick to understand
Let them eat lard.
You are right- I didn't read the TOS, Manual when I first joined. I check that little box and moved right along. Only to have Radu catch me with a internet image in my portfolio. lol
He was very nice about it, and I learned to never do it again. Other times rules were pointed out to me, so I learned as I went. I had a few messages from Admins- Sentoran, Dominar Stabb666 on the forum postings, etc.
I remember all of those when I deal with members. At least the ones who try to understand, and you don't mind helping.
Other... make me drink more rum. ;)
to me you are one of the nicest Admins on here , your try to help a lot and you are very patient with people which you don't really have to be ,I have had my share of Admin "talks" and even though at the time I might not have liked them Images was only doing her job and she was nice about it ,I understand its hard to be objective on here and too bad others don't understand you don't get paid to do this its volunteered
some people just feel they deserve everything for free and are too lazy to work for it like everyone else.
The same with me but I understood, intelligent people get it.
Oh, there's another one like this- claiming that he's being targeted and harassed...and is threatening civil and legal action over a suspended profile. His name on here is DayHawk. He's also using his profile and journal to spout his threats. Worth a laugh to read, if for no other reason...he blocked me for quoting ToS...lol
Yesterday we lost our first, USA, female astronaut. Sally Ride open so many windows for females in space.
And just read on the news that Sherman Hemsley has passed away today. He played in the TV show The Jefferson.
I remember watching that show, and always doing his walk. In the opening credits he walks into that big city building, his hands behind his hips as he strutted. I think I was ten maybe, but we as a family went to the Household Convention. They always held them in a State Park, and I remember the long walkway from our rooms to the meetings areas. Dad usually stayed at the meetings as Mom took care of us kids.
I tell you this as I can still in my head hear the whole family laughter as I did that 'walk' in a new dress, my shinny new black flat heeled shoes, white tights, in front of them going toward the meeting room.
lol
Ok- not funny, but you just had to of been there. I use to love doing that walk. Oh hell- I am going to get up and do it now. In honor of this actor, and a show I always loved.
COMMENTS
I read that Sally was a lesbian. It came out in her obituary. She and her partner were together for 27 years. I think that is very sweet that her partner was acknowledged. It must have been hard to keep a secret like that for so many years.
I didn't know that Moonie. It is a great time when she can be knowledged as her partner. :)
Dexter. Reading this website it looks to be some great things are coming about for the last season.
And I so love this video--

Can't wait. :D
COMMENTS
Don't know this show and I couldn't make up my mind (by that clip) if it was spooky or soft porn :-p
I think that is why I liked it- it is a mixture of both. :)
Dexter is a killer. The woman is his adopted sister. At the end of the season last year she walks in as he is killing a man.
Maybe that will help a little.
I am going to have to check this out!! Can't wait!
More than half the people I know watch it, damn it, I wish I had the time too.
Season 8 will be the last. Showtime Networks convinced them to take it to an eighth season. Here's a link to the footage that was aired at the San Diego Comic Con.

Oh cool!! Thank you Naraku!
I can't wait to see this, looking forward to it. The story line is going to have some great ups and downs. Makes you wonder if he has to die at the end tho.
I really like NetFlix, see a whole lot more movies then I ever would of had otherwise. We get DVD in the mail and average 3 or 4 a week with our plan.
I know most say it isn't the same- you lose the whole movie experience. You miss out watching it on a small screen instead of the huge screen. The whole going out, getting popcorn, candy and pop as you sit with other people. You join in the laughter, the crying. It is just not the same.
Me? I like sitting on my nice roomy couch in my nightgown. I like pausing and going to pee when I want to. Or going back to see that "big event" as many times as I want. I can make popcorn, buy a dollars worth of candy, and ice down a pop for a few dollars. Even with the rental I come out ahead on the cost of the movie ticket which is $4.50 for the first showing. Pop, popcorn and a candy bar would add an easy $7.00 more.
And I get to not squeeze my big ass into a small chair with arms digging into my sides, kids crying, phones ringing, glow of the texting kids, adults who can't keep their mouths shut for two hours, shoes sticking to the floor, pain in the ass known as a movie theaters.
Trust me- that small screen makes up for a whole lot in my book. :)
COMMENTS
Like you I prefer home viewing and the savings are incredible. By the time you by 'there' popcorn and a drink and anything else really then maybe go for a meal afterwards you need a second mortgage, besides, I can't smoke at the flicks!!
And I can't pick the popcorn out of my teeth. lol :)
lol ... and that was *buy* not by .. by the way :-p
That is one of the reasons that as soon as I got "ahead" enough, I bought myself a big tv. Now when I'm flat broke, I have no excuse but to stay at home and enjoy the show :)
*snort* you should come up here where the price for "A" ticket is $12.50.....and that is WAY before popcorn and soda...
You know - there is such a thing as a online translator.
So the names and insults you called me leaves me within an inch of suspending your ass.
COMMENTS
If you don't want it to look petty I'd be happy to suspend some asshats for you.
Online Translator? But what happens if you need a red-neck translator?
she has me for that.....lol
Cleaning out a lot of old military billing, paperwork. Burning boxes and boxes of history as we clear out a building to try and rent out to help pay the insurance bill on the warehouses.
Found paperwork from back in the 80's- been so long since the paperwork had been weeded out. Keep the taxes, and cash tickets for the last ten years just in case but the rest....
Burn baby burn.
Am I sad to see it end?
In a way I am really sad. But in the way that I have done the same job for over 30 years... hell no.
We move forward, we face the changes, and we do the best that we can.
I am just the type of person that hates changes. I dislike the unknown. Wondering if we can make it without so and so, or what will happen now.
Yeap- not big fan of changes.
Falling Skies robots are so much better then that new version of Battle Star Galactic ever was. The sound they make, the way they move, and the weapons they have.
The newest edition of Battle Star was such a disappointment. The cylons they had, the metal ones, were so wimpy. While they changed the shape of them they lack the "I am here to fuck you UP!" that these on Falling Skies have going on.
:)
Thinking it is time for a ritual.
All my work is done, laundry all finished.
:)
Time to go lite some candles, do some chants.
I so want it to be Fall. I gifted myself with this $18.00 miniature wheel barrel to put into the Halloween miniature room box. Not something you can make, this one is metal. It was on sale from $32.00, had my eye on it for over a year now.
The Fall room box: In my mind it is an outside setting. One one side is the cabin front, with a porch. Think rocking chairs, hutch with some old dishes, Halloween decorations. Some fall leaves on the mossy ground, fall color bushes, pumpkins, jack O lanterns, as you see the stone alter set up for a ritual. A table to the side set with Halloween witch cake, some food, herbs. And in the center will be a firepit, lite by those candle powered tea lights.
Can't wait to start on this one. I can see it so clearly in my head, like I did the Yule winter one.
But we are going to start with the fairy winter one first. Cat's pick as I picked the Yule cabin to go first.
Never did the housework. Truth told I took a 4 hour nap. :D Yeap, got lots to do Sunday. But tonight it is Winter Fairy starting.
Watched the movie War Horse a few night ago. LOVED IT! Have to say I cheated by checking out the ending first so I could see if the horse made it. That way I was prepared to cry my eyes out. He does, still cried my eyes out. It was one of those sad but wonderful movies. You should really watch it if you haven't yet.
COMMENTS
Pft, took a nap. Naps are for babies and old ladies.
You ladies are masters of miniature. I'd so fit into your world!
I can't believe how pricey those miniatures are but it sounds really cool, can't wait to see what you two come up with :)
Very few people get to call me Honey. But you Sir, I will let. You replaced the apartment roof for a very good price and when I showed you the damage to the office bathroom, damage that you did not have to take on as several roof repairs men have attempted to handle the 'joint' where we butted up against another roof, you not only took it on- you did what you hoped was a patch that would handle the water free of charge.
But it is not so... the ceiling was wet this morning, and the dry wall right at that same spot more damaged.
So you Sir, with your kind warning that it might cost me a good amount to try and tunnel that water off the corner, try and rebuild the angle of the bathroom roof to keep it from backing up into that area where it is seeping into the bathroom, but you will try and do it soon. Such a small job to what you are use to.
Yes you Sir, I will let you call me Honey.
:)
The bad storms last night had me remembering the times we worked in a small town in the area that built a flood wall. It was always flooding but the government went in and purchased land and built this huge flood wall, building a road on top so the town was bypassed all the way, by water and traffic both.
I remember when school was out for summer working on those homes that had to be relocated. On a good day you just had to work on a hot steamy day, in an old home that had mold and mildew in the walls. Like I said- a good rain would flood these people out.
And there was many of a day, and weekends, it was working in mud. When the flood water would hit is when the government would call, ask us to try and save what we could at certain homes. You would get there right at our work time which was always 8:00am, no matter how long you had to drive. The people would be crying, losing most of everything they had. Some of the homes I never understood why they even tried to save some of the items, but that wasn’t our place to ask.
Our job was to pack what wasn’t wet, and try to get the furniture out of the homes. That meant walking up and down stairways, feet covered in slippery mud, as you at least tried to save the upstairs items of these homes. And packing the kitchen/ food standing in mud, having to keep the boxes up off the floor. I remember one home where every time I lifted my foot my tennis shoe would get ‘sucked’ off. I just ended up working in my socks. Safe to say I wore my heavy boots from then on. And the legs, back was killing you at the end of the day. It was like walking in wet sand, and the stink… never was a fan of mud after those times.
I think the government had to relocate 45 homes to build the floodwall and we did everyone of them. Packing, moving them into the new home they purchased. Or most went into buildings the government rented out, only to have to be moved once they found a new place. I remember working all summer, and it was still not done. Then it was only the weekends for me as school was back in.
What most folks don’t tell ya about flood is the bugs, the roaches just sitting on the walls. Mice, rats, even some water snakes. I think that is when my childhood wonder of “Oh look- it’s this cool” went to “God damn it… I hate a freaking bug. SNAKE!” started. Nothing like standing on water muck slug for months as we tried to get these families out of their homes so they could be torn down, and the flood wall built so this would never happen to another family again.
We are talking back in the 1980’s. Today the government would have had to had a hazard team in there, if they wouldn’t of just paid the family a fee to leave it all behind. Just the mold would of thrown up red flags today.
Seeing all the flooring in the areas around me I know that little town is dry, and those families members that are still alive can recall just how bad it was when a heavy rain fell. Wonder if any even recall how bad it was before the wall was built.
We also moved plenty of folks for roadways, airports the government took land for. Long history with working on those kinds of jobs. But the flood walls, we did two walls, was always the worst by far.
COMMENTS
Whenever we have thunderstorms here or a deluge I think of how much I love it forgetting about how damaging it can be for others :( Must be heartbreaking to see. On a side note: I've only seen roaches on T.V, ACK! Knocks on wood.
Our family has been a military approved household mover for longer then I have been alive. I could write a book on the moves, the customers I have meet during that time. Since 1954 to 2012. Lifetime. 58 years of it.
Seems like I should share a little of that time. I could tell you of the nasty homes, the rude comments, the hell holes, the drunks, the drugs, the men in their underwear. The sex toys, the glass bottle thrown at us, the black eye. I can tell you of the clothing given to me when I got soaking wet, the help when trucks broke down, the fun and laughter, the home made full breakfast that was waiting for us, the treats baked, the tips made.
I can tell you of the snow, the heat, the fleas, the roaches, the bird poop, the flood, of being stuck, of hauling shipments in with a pickup, the police and thugs, the long ass days.
Ahh.. And all those sunrises and sunsets.
So many stories in my brain today as we start closing down that part of our company.
And really missing my Dad. See- we was, and I still am, the only ’mover’ in the family. My sister never did any of the manual work, she never dealt with the customers like we did. She is great with numbers, but to make an estimate on weight, on the packing, the hours of labor needed, then seeing and doing the work- that is me.
And the military use to be worth dealing with, just not at my age, my attitude of 30 years into the same job, and having to shift a lot of finances around just to stay in the game.
Don’t get me wrong- there was some fun days, days I will never forget. Some great friendships were made.
And there was the days when I just question why the hell I was even doing it.
But all in all- the military has always been a great bunch of folks to work with.
I really should share some of these stories with you all. Might give you a smile, and you can see why I am the way I am most days. :)
Spending the morning calling Forwarders, Moving companies that we are closing out the military part of our company at the end of the month.
Sad time. :(
But- good news? I found an old ear ring I have been missing for the last year. To bad I threw the other one away. Kind of felt stupid only have the one.
o.O
Sort of like I do now .. with the one.
Ok- no good news for the day.
Holy shit- I went up a level. LOL
When the hell did that happen? I just notice it and it is at 170.26.
A whole 26% even.

Snorts is right- means I am too unbusy at work, dang it.
Started the week with one job. Today I booked enough jobs to fill up this week. :D Only one big job but still it is something.
Let's just hope I am not doing a ghost run *will not pay at delivery* in the morning.
Too bed- it is going to be a early work time.

If you think this site is boring, it makes me wonder what else in your life you think is boring.
Then it makes me think of just how boring you are as a person that you can't find something to do in life.
Like close down a computer and live your life a little.

theres not enough time in the day to do all the things i want to do. look up stuff, talk to people, make closer friendships to those i do talk to. make new friendships..... learn stuff online, learn to cook something new...... the list goes on and on and on lol
Concur...This site is what it says it is so if someone is getting too much of a good thing, time to take a break from it and give yourself time to miss it and remember why you became a member in the first place.

I had to be different. And pester Moonie. lol
I am a vampire who is also a werewolf, a zombie and a fairy, but not a schizophrenic.
All is quiet in the VR neighborhood. Rat sits on her House porch, rocking in her rocking chair as she watches the folks go by, some talking, some fussing, but all in all a good crowd. Till a well known drama queen steps forward and comes down her sidewalk, full of a rant. “Why did you do this?” How someone was suspended when she wasn’t to be. “Oh? And why wouldn’t she of been?” “Because Images said this and this and you just don’t understand. You need to release her profile now.” Never mind it is against the rules.. rules she loved reporting folks are breaking. Seems this person is to be above the rules, not holding to all that the neighborhood holds to. Rat thinks not.
Rat sat, knowing she was being lied to. After dealing with this member sooooo many times- that was not a shocker. “Well.. give me a second.” Rat stands, goes to the porch edge and yells out “Images!’ “Images!!” to only see a sleek large cat laying on a branch in the tree above Otter’s kiddy pool in the House next door yard.
A wet Otter head pop up from her kiddy pool “WHAT!? We are trying to relax. You had watch Rat.” “I know- but I got a problem. Images- can you come here for just a second? Seems I am being told something you said that I know you never said.” Otter strains her neck and sees the member, her lips baring her teeth, as the agile cat jumped from the tree heading toward the Rat’s porch.
“Well I might have gotten it wrong, not word by word. Maybe I misunderstood.” The member steps backward, as Rat sees Images land in a perfect leap onto the porch railing, a graceful predator. Rat moves aside as Images takes over. Otter slides out of the pool with her fur so smooth and shiny, as she crosses over to watch. They don't call her The Hand for nothing.
Lesson to learn here folks- MasterVampires talk. If you are known to us for bringing problems to the site, we talk. I am not talking the ones who get caught once or twice breaking the rules, but those repeat offenders who just keep hitting our radar. Not a smart move to lie to one, thinking you will get your way. Lie about it… that is really putting you on the radar.
Spending some time with these ladies right before I tried to sleep.. and wonder why I had trouble sleeping... priceless. lol
Day kind of went from good to bad. After being pitched off the internet for the 20th time in a hour I left Moonie and Otter making faces in cam to go to bed early. Have not been sleeping well and last night was no different. About 2:00 am I broke down and took a over the counter sleeping aid.
Drag my butt out of bed to drag myself over to Cat's to get her and we went to the local Historical Museum to take photos of the items they have on show. Birdy is helping them with getting the items listed, labeled, and online/ records. We got about half of the items done with over 200 shots. Learned a few things, seen some cool stuff. I had offered to help them with photos so they called me on it. I was thinking old buildings.. but all is good. I got to practice on settings, and learned glass displays can be beaten, as far as glare is concerned.
Then it was out to dinner with Cat, Birdy. Right at the end before we could even talk about what we was going to do for the rest of the night I started to cough- another asthmatic attack. Cough cough cough- chest hurts as you try to suck in air.. on top of three drinks had me throwing money on the table and running to the bathroom. Then outside to fresh air.
Sore throat, tears, and a pounding headache later had me going home alone, breaking up the party early.
:(
The lady who runs the museum sneaked and gave Birdy $25.00 to pay on dinner, and she gave us a $10.00 off coupon. She didn't have to as I did offer my services for charity. But it was nice. She got me and Cat, Birdy for 5 1/2 hours, and 220 plus photos out of it.
While I got some practice in, a sore back, and helped save some history. :)
Good day all in all.

That was a great, productive, mostly fun day - except for the asthma attack.
I hope that you're feeling good today!
Thanks for today. It will greatly help in getting things logged and labeled!! And if it is any consolation...I came home and laid with my feet up for an hour or so as the swelling went down a bit and the pain lessened.
But Aleve before bed!!!
Your asthma is worrying me, it's hitting too often lately. But it was a fun day and for a good cause with a nice dinner and some teasing of the waiter at least we got a blush out of him. lol Magic Mike strikes!
Ok- when did VR change from PayPal to Google?
COMMENTS
Depends on what day of the week lol I've seen it change several times over.
I am not much on google. Don't even have a email there.
it changed a while back, but I you can still use paypal, I use it, its just a little bit more clicking and filling but it still is there :)
Yeah, it's changed a couple times... No one would notice unless they were buying stuff. And you could have bought during the 'back to Paypal' times :)
Yes- that is what I was use to Images. Been a while I guess. I will have to do what Crying said, a few more clicks is not that big of a deal. :)
I brought the same thing up a while back as I got confused and opened a Google account, that's when they reverted back again. Now I don't know where they are at!
paypal it still there, somewhere, just takes a little more clicking.
Well the cable company didn't show up. So the internet here at home is still messed up. Again if I don't answer you, or just leave mid chat or messages you will know why.
Will call them again Monday to see why they was no show.
I swear I am ready to throw up a little. Been lazy so the dishes have piled up the last three night in my sink. Till I got home to find ants. While ants don't bother me when one but when a thousand ...
*gags*
Sprayed, waited till they died, then had to do the clean up.
That is what I get for being a lazy bitch. But found how they was coming in around the window, ended that little opening.
While I am doing stuff I really don't want to do I should go and use the scraper to remove the caulking around my tub. It has turned black and I can't get it clean without bleach and I sure can't handle that stink. Talk about an asthma attack. Nope- it will be a scrapper, and hours to remove and fix that repair.
Then the torn kitchen flooring that I need to pull the washer out and cut out a patch piece.
*sigh*
Nope- the ants was enough for one day.
Ewwwww...
*goes to light candles to hide the stink of the bug spray*
Fresh scent my ass.
COMMENTS
I feel for you. Airwicks, something to drink and tomorrow is another day. That's what I did.
EWWWW is right....:(
I would have recommended bug bombing the place and staying at Connie's for the night. But do the dishes first
I grew up in a house that was apparently on a giant ant hill. I've learned to clean up immediately after every meal, snack, etc.
Well - plus, I'm kind of a clean/neat freak...lol.
Have you all seen this? The last wish on his will is a $500.00 tip for a pizza. What a way to be remembered.
COMMENTS
Very cool.
That's going on my list.
OMG that is so great , the best way I could think of to help people and to be remembered.
Let me remind all of you who want to do this where your favorite bartender is...lol
Now that was sweet. Reminds me that there really are kind strangers in the world!
Why ain't I asleep? Yawning while at Cat's. Drove home, in bed within a few minutes. Only to sleep about 20 minutes...then wide awake.
*sigh*
Work
Lack of work- whole 12 hours this week.
Bills
Mom's health
Sisters health
Brother's health
Do I really need any other reasons why I can't sleep? Would take a sleeping pill or a good drink but I have to be at work at 8:00 am.
COMMENTS
I feel your insomnia. I've been having the same problems lately.
Hmmm maybe this weekend we need to get good and sloppy drunk! :D
If it makes you feel better it's now 2:30 am and I'm still wide awake myself.... I think it must of been the watermelon :p
Morrigon posted one of her book covers in her journal here that has a photo I took as a background. You can't really tell it is mine as she has done such great editing to it. If you put my photo and her's together after she edit it- light and day. Plus she added a model, zombies. Really the background is such a small detail when you look at the cover, my eye drawn to the look on the model's face. And the one zombie that has a mark on his forehead, swear I know that face. ;)
I find it super cool that she used one of my images. :D I know she could of used a stock image but she asked to use one of mine. YEAH!
And seeing as the only reason I picked up a camera again was her own work that inspired me, it seems like I might of paid her back just a little for the joy I get from taking photos again.
COMMENTS
Coolness! :)
I knew that none of the photos I would find elsewhere would capture that haunting "alone" feeling I wanted. I came to you because I knew you'd have quality images. Plus you're just plain awesome :D
And that is inspiring. Honestly, there is an element that people forget; we all start somewhere.
Most often because we forget this, we forget the joys of teaching and mentorship. What a great thing to read to start my day!
"You're just plain awesome" is exactly right.
I must go see the pic!!
We keep telling you, you are awesome. Believe it!
The background image caught my eye; the old water tower of desolation and abandonment. It really brings things together.
It looks great with your background. You really have a great eye with photography.
Got to love customers who are so fucking high they can't even speak without slurring the words. After five minutes you still didn't book, and that was your 5th call in two days.
Grrrr..
Yes- you need to return back to Harlan.
Watched a few movies this weekend-
Ghost Rider 2. The worst movie I have seen all year. If you haven't watched it and loved the first one like myself- don't. Just stay with the first one and let the second one die a ugly death.
Mission Impossible 4? 3? the latest one. Liked it. Tom is starting to show his age but he still can act better then most actors. Good story line, lots of action. It lived up to what I expected- same story of saving the world, blah blah .. but in a new way.
Tower Heist. Good to see Eddie back, even if his story line was a little odd. Had some laughs, funny movie. Didn't see the big 'surprise' about the money but it was really a good family movie.
But Ghost Rider is one to leave on the shelf. Poor Cage really must of needed the money to do that piece of shit.
COMMENTS
I can't watch any movie with Nikel-Arse Cage.
I'm skipping GhostRider2 also, I loved the comics and the first movie did a pretty good job, so I'm not going to ruin it. anyway Sam Elliott won't be in it :)
I watched this last weekend. Could not agree more with your analysis.
Ugh ya totally agree with u guys...what a waste...
And with that.. I am going swimming.
:/
COMMENTS
Whoohooo! And that is what I will be doing also in a few days time! I'm off to photograph the pyramids!!! I know the desert only has camels, but where I am staying has a HUGE swimming pool! :)
Pictures ...okay, I'm offto stand in the perve corner ... PICTURES!!!
If you send me a message don't get snotty if I don't answer it. I am having issues with my internet. It pitches me off every few pages, or freezes up on a page and I have to turn the computer off and pull the batteries to get it to unlock.
I took this laptop to work, and it works fine so I take it is the internet. I called and they said yes- the history shows a problem.
They said they could be here next Friday. O.o
I have a roof over my head, electric and water. Even TV to watch, internet off and on if you feel up to logging in a few thousand times a day.
With the storms/ heat in our area, I am freaking lucky. So if you send me a message and I don't answer that is why.
*sits in her rocking chair and rocks* Come on kids- let me tell you the word for today. The word for today is FUCK YOU. Can you say FUCK YOU? Let me use it in a sentence, to help.
"Hey you! You wanted to work in 100 degrees temperatures, so how about you getting to work on time? FUCK YOU!"
Yes- that is the word of the day. Now go forth and use it at sometime today. Make me proud of you. :)
COMMENTS
I saw the words 'FUCK YOU' and enjoyed them....I really need to shout that out before I go out and enjoy myself later today/tonight.
That is two words, as you said "the word" for today...
lol I stand corrected. Ok- the two words for today. :D
Today's program has been brought to you by the letter "BITE ME" and the number "SHOVE IT".
wide eyed and shocked! huh miss VP you said a dirty word ,but I be good student and do as you say.......
lol You made my day Cpt.
Dear Cancer,
I want more storage space in my portfolio.
Thank you.
Kay.
Ok ok ok... I just need to clear out some junk. :P
COMMENTS
I so need to clean mine out and freshen it up a bit even thou it's not full, so freshen up are the words here. I don't think I've touched it in over four years.
I need to re-do mine but I'm just plain lazy.
Been reading up on American Horror Story Season 2. This season is going to be set in an 1960s East Coast asylum for the criminally insane.
Oh yeah babe!!! Can't get any better then that!!
:D
COMMENTS
That sounds so great, I was a little worried when I read they were changing everything and a lot of the actors from the first season weren't coming back. But I really liked it so I have hopes the second season will be as good. :)
Certainly looking forward to it! BTW I am not sure if it is a wig or not... but you are rocking the platinum!
I read about the cast- only 5 come back. But they are the good ones, I think.
Wig- in life my hair is short, brown and gray mix. ;) Thanks. :)
I think most know I surf the cams under Anon. When I see one with no action *blank screen, screen saver* I go in to just make sure someone is paying attention to the chat. I usually say Hi, anyone here? They answer and I leave most of the time.
Why? Not in the mood to chat, not someone I really know, and people act strange around me if they find out who I am. Nell has been the only person who just chatted with me one night, no fight. That was kind of cool.
If I know the person I step in under my name- never take an anon as being me. If I was to say who I am, ask me to sign in. I am telling you to do that- question anyone who says they are an Admin.
That said- it gets really old to be cussed out for not talking, called a fucking asshole. And that is with just a Hi, anyone here? leave one cam to check another- same anon number and I get shit because I did not talk in the one cam.
Good lord folks.... if you want the cam to be just those you invite in- take it someplace else. Oh wait.. you know that. Drama lovers much? See you haven't changed any.
COMMENTS
Yup I am the same way. Although I typically won't say I'm admin. But if they piss me off enough I will log in- go in and explain that they simply have no idea who is 'anon'.
*sigh* Same old story time and time again isn't it?
I don't say I am an Admin either. If they piss me off enough I do go in under my name. But some are using the anon - saying they are admins.
Sort of a "heads up" on those.
Yeah. People have the right to be anons and just visit for a bit without being attacked.
Those who are so bat shit crazy over people being anons in their cams have some self esteem issues, I think.
Anons may be new members, Admins or just people wanting to chat but just want to be anon. Yup some do attack at times, but I've met some lovely anons. I love to use vr just to chat about random stuff. Yay I got a shout out hehe :)
Today is my sisters birthday! 49.
Yeap- sisters.
Twins, mirror images.
:D
Seems I missed all the drama last night. Sin Coven is gone. And reading some of the journals from it’s formal members I think it was good thing. Telling your Coven member to rate this rate, to give or take this honor from this person. Should have been called the Coven of Slaves, the way you was thinking you was all that and a bag of chips.
No one on this site can tell you how to rate or who to give honor to. That a Coven Master was doing it, blinding you if you didn’t do as he said..
Then making free profiles to try and start more trouble, drama.
And to think- you called me a bully on this site.
*laughs*
Guess what comes around goes around dude- and you step up to the wrong chick to start shit with. The Hand rules for a reason.
COMMENTS
i felt so honored i had a profile named after me called neromustdie lol
it was sad and pathetic but lucky all of the members have been given a great home :)
I did'nt get any but its ok, I am releive I had read right the vr manual and tos, ouf I knew no where it mentionned that cm can command the rating and all of its members, ouf, I feel better now :)
I love how people do that sort of power tripping and then whine that Admins are bullies when we uphold simple rules and concepts.
damn timezones i missed it too
So true! Last night, I was browsing the journals - as I usually do - when I read Images' and that coven master's entries. I saw the shit unfold...and too bad I couldn't snag up one member for my coven - lol!
Someday you just wake up sad. No reason... well..sure you can find reasons. But you know it is just too big of a list to start, to drag up from the deep pit you try to bury them in.
But while life is good, so many reasons to rejoice in the world, in your life you just need that day to feel the saddness...
There are those days when a song just makes you cry.
Today is one of those days for me.

*hugs*
I do know what you mean and this track would certainly do it for me too.
You know it is Monday. Have a great week. x

And seeing as someone sent me a message to correct my spelling- I will do it here.
Sweets, not sweats.
Gosh- those who read my journal knows I don't check it, and make those simple mistakes often. Seems like you all would be use to it by now.
If I was to spend time checking it- then I need to make it paid work instead of me just releasing some steam, putting it out there.
Not perfect- thank god!
