Moonie made me a stamp!!!
It has a Waverly picture in it. :)
*LOVES*
So lucky to have friends with skills.
Abby made me a sexy Fall one, Wallflower one for another account. :)
I am a lucky Rat, yes I am.
Tony Curtis died. :(
Makes me want to watch Operation Petticoat again. I always loved him in that movie. And Some Like It Hot, another favorite.
Sis sent me this-
Richard Belzer, best known for his recurring role as Detective John Munch, has traded playing characters who stop crime for those who suck blood in the music video for 'The Vampire Song,' in which he plays a one fanged vampire. Written, recorded and performed by Belzer, 'The Vampire Song' takes viewers back to the actor's comedic roots, as he flails in rhythm to the catchy tune.

This made my frigging day!
John Munch is my favourite character in Law & Order. This is very, very new to me.
You know...somedays I wonder how you can call me a friend.
Not by your actions but my own.
I am such a ass somedays.

cause no matter what we still loves your crazy butt, besides who else would we look to for makeup tips?
Because you are yourself and no one is perfect. Good friends look past your bad moments and brush them off as a part of life.
♥
That's the fun part about being a friend, going thru the highs AND lows.
Because friends love and understand one another, in good times and bad. *hugs*
Honey, we all have our lives to contend with- and even in person, that sometimes makes us unavailable. Would you love any of us less, just because we had stuff we had to take care of?
Of course not. You're not that shallow.
And the people who really care about you aren't that shallow either.
Found this to be cool....
Human-Powered Ornithopter Would Make da Vinci Proud
AOL Article:
As kids, we dreamt of a day where we'd flap our wings and take off into the great blue yonder to travel amongst the birds, right? On the swings, we pumped higher and higher until at last, for an exhilarating second, we would let go as we reached maximum height and soared freely through the air, experiencing complete independence from terra firma.
When did we stop trying to fly? When did we become so content with remaining beholden to gravity? Well, Todd Reichert never gave up that silly dream.
After years of planning and development with a team made up of some of the best and brightest in aeronautical engineering, Reichert, a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto's Institute of Aerospace Studies, recently achieved what we all dream of doing: Flying by simply flapping his wings.
Reichert was able to achieve such a feat through the use of the "Snowbird" Ornithopter, the result of four years of development and construction. A super-lightweight aircraft, the Snowbird is able to fly exclusively through the power of Reichert flapping its wings. It made aviation history by becoming the first-ever human-powered aircraft to attain sustained flight, remaining airborne for a full 19.3 seconds.
While that may not seem like an impressive amount of time, it is important to keep in mind that human-powered flight has been attempted – but not successfully accomplished – for centuries, ever since Leonardo da Vinci drew up the first design for such a machine in 1485.
"The Snowbird represents the completion of an age-old aeronautical dream," said Reichert, lead developer and project manager of the Snowbird. "Throughout history, countless men and women have dreamt of flying like a bird under their own power, and hundreds, if not thousands have attempted to achieve it. This represents one of the last of the aviation firsts."
Humans are able to create only a mere 0.3 horsepower by themselves, which presents some acute challenges in achieving human-powered flight. Namely, the aircraft must be moving very slowly in order to sustain flight, since the power necessary to fly any aircraft increases rapidly with speed. In order to remedy such a problem, the Snowbird had to be designed to be very lightweight, but also very large.
To tackle such an issue, Reichert and his team constructed the Snowbird mainly out of carbon fiber, foam and balsa wood, which are all supported by an external bracing made of wire. Such light materials add up to a final product weighing just 94 lbs, yet allow the aircraft to have a massive wingspan of 105 feet, comparable to that of a Boeing 737.
On August 2, after countless hours of planning and development, Recihert achieved what so many in history have unsuccessfully tried to do. At the Great Lakes Gliding Club in Tottenham, Ontario, with the vice-president of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale present to witness, Reichert achieved his dream of human-powered flight for what was certainly an exhilarating 159 yards at 16 miles per hour.
Reichert said that he went for the record as a part of an effort to promote "the use of the human body and spirit," in exploring sustainable and efficient modes of transportation.
"The use of human power, when walking or cycling, is an efficient, reliable, healthy and sustainable form of transportation," he said. "Though the aircraft is not a practical method of transport, it is also meant to act as an inspiration to others to use the strength of their body and the creativity of their mind to follow their dreams."
Thus, even though Reichert acknowledges that the Snowbird will not revolutionize personal transit anytime soon, he notes that it can remind us all that there is limitless potential for progress in transportation technology.
I just turned my heat on.
MY HEAT.

Come on cold weather... bring it!

*hides the snow from Ratt*
I so Agree, Not tuning on the heat to busy loving the coolness
We talked about this.......NO COLD UNTIL AFTER OCTOBER 17th DAMN IT! Now stick the DAMN COLD DOLL BACK IN THE CLOSET.. and yes.....I meant to put it in caps!!
Stomps off to get her sweats on.
I'm tellin' ya Rat, you would LOVE Alaska. I talked to my mom today and they had their first snow fall yesterday.
p.s. I definitely DO NOT miss the winters in Alaska. :p
Do me a favor...stand on your porch with a big fan and blow it my way. I'm dying to get my cold on!
*plugs on her fan and points it south* ;)
Hey! Don't yell at me- talk to God about the weather. I am just saying.. it's about time! hahaha.
FM- I so would love going to visit your family. :)
Don't worry WC- I have ways to get my snow...
*dust off her snow doll*
NOooooooooo!
LOL Snow is NOT a four letter word.
o.O
Well it is..but...Oh you know what I mean.
It is a wonderful nip in the air and the trees are finally starting to change color too, yipee!
*I am not defending the cold or snow dolls if Birdie gets her hands on them*
Wasn't going to say anything but Images and the House family noticed. :)

Happy Birthday. Time for rum ^.^
Happy Birthday to the nicest lady!!!

Okay, I know I put a video here for your birthday.....lol
However, Happy Birthday- I love you, you are as beautiful as ever, and I hope you had one for me...lol
Matt LeBlanc was never cute to me when he was on the TV show Friends. Funny, but not sexy. I was reading an article about him and saw a picture of him today. Man oh man...he has aged well. Little gray, some age on the face. Way hotter then back then.
COMMENTS
I totally agree!
Holy HOTNESS! He almost has that, Frank Sinatra look. MMMMmmmm.
faeriemoon, you are SO telling our age around here...lol
I see the 10' road add the city paved for you did no good. That means you are turning from a three lane road into a two lane road... you are turning to your right...
It is known as swinging out- take the far lane of the three lanes and swing into the far lane of the two lanes.. that keeps you out of the 4 foot deep ditch. Keeps those back trailer tires out of the ditch. And keeps the road from being blocked for hours.
Wow- bet the man who approved the money to add onto the street your company is on feels a little stupid now.
I mean-- this is the third tractor you have ditched...same spot.
Little do they know a GOOD driver can turn a tractor trailer from that two lane into the two lane. My father did it all the time. With the same ditch.
Happy Fall Ya' all.
:)
Now where the hell is the A/C remote?
*goes to hunt it*
You asked what the World Chicken Festival is that is going on this week (really just Friday and this weekend but it starts being a problem on Monday for locals) in our town... here it is in a video. Yeap- the start setting it up Monday, by Wen streets start closing, and by Friday goverment, schools, and all of Main Street is blocked.
Faeriemoon left a few hours ago. :) While it was a short visit it was still wonderful to see her, meet the boyfriend. Even Birdy was here till after midnight talking.
I tired to talk her out of her friendly kitty cat but she would not give on it. ;)
Little sleep last night but fun to just sit and talk with them. And I was able to take half a day off work to do lunch before they left. :)
Wish them the best, and hope we meet up again soon.
Both had the same comment about my shower- and my many many bottle of good things to wash with. Yeap- a nice bed, bath things is a weakness I have.
Now.... I just need a nap. lol
Nothing like catching Birdy online here ...asking her where she was, knowing she is at my house.
And getting her to put the sheets in the dryer.
lol
Now if only I could get her to make my bed up with the fresh sheets, last step before Heather gets here.
What are the chances of that happening? I know I know..thin. lol
COMMENTS
lol slim Is as good as none , you never know she might feel generous today!
=) Have a fabulous evening!!
If it helps I can take your undies off the clothes line.
O.o
Good to see you back bork.
Went across town today to visit the rental home being worked on and see that town is being taken over by those Fair rides, tents being set up. Yeap- that time of year again.
The World Chicken Fest is here!
Well... it will be on Friday/Sat/Sunday.
Main street and the cross streets will be closed down, school and all goverment offices closed.
Time us locals leave out, or at least stay as far out of town as we can.
But this year I want to get up early Sat or Sunday and take some pictures of the rides, sitting silent, right at sunrise.
:)
And a funnel cake would not kill me either, just saying.
COMMENTS
I went to one last week in Tacoma when I visited Pinja, it was awesome and the first time I ever had a scone and a nanaimo, which was one of the most delicious creations I have ever tasted! Yummerz
You must take a beautiful picture of a funnel cake. You must also describe, in great detail, the taste of the funnel cake. And take a picture of you eating said funnel cake.
Mama can't eat it, so you are my proxy.
Bless you, Rat.
In that case.. powder surgar on top? ;)
Oh HELL yes.
AND CHOCOLATE
Chicken. Festival. ???
You ever pull up to a stop light and a car pulls up next to you. The driver races its engine, showing off, daring you to race? Then when the light turns green the car peels off and leaves you in the dust. Even if I had a bigger motor- you still would win. Why?
When it happens to me I just have to smile, going about my own business. You might think it is about how fast your car is, the motor under the hood. How you showed who is better.
I think it is more about the driver’s lack of self esteem. Big motors don’t impress me. It just shows me how little you value your car and how you use it to make up for what ever you need- bragging rights, respect, the value you place on yourself.
COMMENTS
I always wait and see if the jackass gets a ticket. I'll rev back, and then toodle on along at my own pace when it hits green.
Kinda like the little dick syndrome, ever wonder why its always men who do this? lol
lol I wrote that thinking of someone who reminds me of the bunnie rabbit car. :)
But yes- letting them just go about their way is the best.
LOL So true. And it seems to be younger men as well. Did I do that when I was his age? Nope. Never really seen the need to do it.
The only reason I want a big engine in a car is if it's a muscle car and then if for me to enjoy driving it. I want to eventually "tune" my Civic. Not for bragging rights but, simply for the fact that I'm a car chick and love to drive.
can you say "penis extension?"
Disaster movies always get me thinking about What If’s.
What if you were a scientist and you knew the earth was going to end in 5 days- would you tell anyone?
The movie on now the government is doing a cover up about the solar flares that’s going to blow up the earth. In a way I see the need to seal the info up- but do they have the right?
I mean… who would not want to spend the last 5 days with family, loved ones? Who would pick going to work, paying bills, and school? Spend time away from those you love. Lose the chance to make up for past ills toward people, tell those you might be in an argument that you love them, forgive them.
Or even to just travel to a place you love? Sitting on the beach as the earth ends? I could not think of a better place.
But then how do you tell them if the phones don’t work, get home if the planes don’t fly, fuel is not in the gas stations?
And what if they tell you only certain places on the earth can you be safe- think of the rush to those places.
Guess I see both sides of this.
Would you want to be told?
COMMENTS
Being one of the few that has no loved ones to go to, I'd sit it out right where I am. I'd like to spend my last days with my pets and my books, quietly and peacefully.
Nothing like watching disaster movies made back in the 60’s to show you just how far films have come.
But still….disaster movie so had to watch.
:)
Knowing I have a day of house cleaning in front of me- having sis cook me lunch and bring it to me is nice.
Of course I think she just want a reason to drive her new car they we went yesterday evening and got. :) So happy for her, it is her first new car at 47 years of age.
lol
Either way... *sits to eat the still warm cake with chocolate frosting* Yummy!
If you are 17 then.... I am 30.
Really?
Do parents just not care what their kids put out there?
I went out to take some sunset pictures as it is cloudy out. This morning’s sunrise was so colorful so I stayed awake to do the sunset.
I went into a high end subdivision and, mind you I never got out of the car- that was on a public street- and had the cops called on.
This guy was out in his yard at one end of his home and I stop to take a picture. He yelled at me to stop taking pictures of his home. WTF? "Sir, I am not taking a picture of your home- I am taking a picture of the sunset beside it. It’s is beautiful?" He started to cuss me and I just drove off.
Now come on... really? So I am driving around the area, taking five or six pictures of the sunset, and headed toward the entrance when I pass his house to find a cop there. The cop flagged me down and a half a hour later agreed I did not take any pictures of homes. "Why would I? It would ruin a picture. Dude is overacting big time." He accused me of deleting the pictures and I proved him wrong as the pictures are numbered at the bottom of the display screen. If he could see any part of his house or kids (which I don’t even remember seeing) I would gladly remove the picture off my card.
Facts- public road, I was not taking pictures of homes or kids...which he told the cop. The next door lady came out and she said she was walking her big black dog when I first came into the street and she watched me stop, taking picture of the sunset. "She even waved and smiled as I walked by. I was not seeing her taking pictures of the homes."
But this dude...
Good freaking god...

I miss those towers. Living in New York for all my life, I will never forget.
Did you know they built a US Naval vessel out of the scrap metal from the twin towers? USS New York is the name.
We can't forget- that day, the horror and the ones we lost.
Yes Wild Child, nothing gets wasted these days.
I wonder how long it will take for them to rebuild the place. Probably too long. :l
I have a candle lite, and the history channel on. Such a day that changed history, the world.
*looks at the goodies she scored tonight*
The housework might just have to be left this weekend. I got so many makeup looks in my head and it has been so long since I have played... :)
Mask, black widow, or zombie first? Or punk rocker, Flapper, or witch?
But for now- bed. Hope to get up early to find clouds and the sunrise. The sunset tonight was stunning in color, hope the sunrise is the same.

OOOOooooo I love getting new goodies to play with (: hope you have fun with them and hope to see some more of your amazing photos (:
I say punk rocker!!!!
I'm torn between the witch and the flapper :)
Going out to dinner with the gals, but also making the trip to the Halloween store. :D Raining outside, gray...perfect time to do this.
Went to the bank today and the lady at the drive thur asked me about my camera. O.o Cat's sis works there and must of shown her the pictures I took of the kids. :) She said they was really good, wanted to know what kind of equipment I used.
Did I tell ya Cat's sis printed and framed one of the pictures? Ahhhh... my first framed picture. And that is after a few comments was made at the Walmart photo center about them as well, Cat told me.
I know it isn't much but still... *pats self on back*

hehehe yep it all happens here have to say I love it all the more for that :)

I'd have a long conversation with myself but I keep pissing myself off, then won't talk to me anymore 0-o
I don't mind the ones that talk to themselves......
It's the ones who answer that I have a problem with...
LOL xD I've done that before but I don't think it was an hour long. I think I would go crazy by then.
Picture this- an old abandoned hospital, a darken hallway, silence but for the dripping of water. The bright sunlight coming in from the collapse hole in the roof, hitting the dirty mud covered tile floor, the same tile that runs up the walls. Tile that is covers the wall midway, to be taken over by peeling paint that reviles just how many times the walls had seen the paint brush. The ceiling tiles you can see past the light is stained a dark brown and red color, of rust and water stains. Old light fixtures hang by wires, a wind that comes down the hallway making one or two move a little, shadows play. Golden light from unseen dirty windows filter into the hallway from weather damaged wooden doors, knowing the room has seen so much in the years- laughter, tears and death. This hallway was the pathway to the past, and you do not know what waits you as you step forward, wanting to see what the walls hold for you to find.
If you are like me- you love this kind of feeling, the building that stand in overgrown lots, windows covered by plywood, that speak a soft welcome. And you will love this website-
http://www.opacity.us/
*hit locations at the top, 7 pages, each hold a gallery.
But be warned- once there you will stay for hours, seeing what only I can try to describe as beauty of death, of a past not to be forgotten.
These pictures speak to a part of me that few understand in my life. “Its mold- dirty” “Why and the world would you find that pretty?” “It just a bunch of junk- needs torn down years ago.”
They don’t understand- it is the horror, the death, the forgotten that is beauty to me. The skill of the craftsman of old, the way the buildings are holding to life before they are forever gone from this world. This is beauty to me, just as a colorful flower is. It is part of my soul in a way, seeing these pictures.
While I am in a rant mood-
Brick layer/foundation: Did you get the concrete ordered?
Me: Uhh...was I told to do that?
Brick: *huffs* And did you get the block? Your father would of had all this here and ready to go girl.
Me: Well ... One- you told me you would work in my job, did not tell me when you was coming. Two- did you give me the info? Like how much concrete, blocks you need? Because I can't freaking read minds.
Block: *long pause* Well- that might of helped.
Me: *rolling eyes behind his back*
What a great morning...
And one of my guys, who was off sick Tue, said he would be here this morning...called in sick again. Job is not being finished as large heavy items- newest guy is on the two men team now...not strong...so not worth the risk of damage to both men or the stuff.
Grrrrrr....
Customer not happy- like it is my fault. He said he would be here. I can't shit a man, if I could I would be such a happier camper. Because I would shit out a team of strong movers, a new brick layer, and for the fun a sex slave/ cook.
Me saying "I really don't like salesmen." should of been a warning that your damn ass was going to get hung up on when you would not take a simple "No thanks- I don't need any."
Now really- who is to blame here?
Dumbass.

There's no rule saying studded for her pleasure can't sparkle too.

There are boy vamps that could do the cute heels thing.
But I just had visions of Ratt turning the Badger into a prince poppycock. O_o sparkling fakey ween and all.
I think those who say it gets better with time lie. Or maybe I am just different then them, most. As I face the two year mark coming up it still hurts like hell. I still cry at a drop of a hat, at the mention of your name.
Is it because we worked together each day?
Is it because we would fuss at each other, mostly in fun?
Is it because you answered anything question I had?
Is it because I lost a dear friend?
Is it because I wish I could take back some of the things I said?
Is it because I have regrets, as anyone would, when one you love so dear is taken without warning?
Is it because I miss your presence in my life?
Is it because I lost my rock?
Yes.
It is also because you are my daddy.
And because I love you.
And miss you as much today.
COMMENTS
I am sorry for your loss. Its never easy @};-
Hun there's nothing wrong with missing your Dad, you two were really close. It's been over 2 decades and I still miss my dad at times and we were no where near as close as you and your Dad. Quit feeling wrong about still feeling bad. It's your right to take all the time you want to miss your Dad. To be honest when I drive around the back way at your place I still find myself looking for him to throw up his hand.
*hugs you tight*
*hugs*
They lie- it doesn't get easier with time- the slightest thing can set me off, reminding me of my dad. Don't ever feel bad for remembering your dadf with love, joy and happiness. The only thing it does is dull the pain some, but it is like a scab. Something comes along, knocks it off, and it hurts all over again. Eventually it will scar honey, but it will never go away.
I am with Cat in that sometimes I expect to see that white hair and glasses on a smiling face as I drive by the back. Grief is an individual thing...take the time you need and as others have said....don't feel guilty for loving..and missing....someone.
Then I'm right with you, I lost my grandfather who was the only father figure I truly had in 1997... And I still am not over the loss of him.
4 hours later, two car lots....
No car.
And my dislike for salesmen up tenfold.

Dang woman! Did you at least get your fuggin laundry detergent?
Yes I did. :) All done- sheets are still mix match as I was too lazy to remake the bed. I can live with a gold flatsheet, blue fitted one.
I just don't know how I tore the blue flatsheet... but it was torn.
Wild romp? ;p
Heheh
Running out of laundry powder sucks.
And being lazy and not willing to make a trip to the store sucks more. lol
Ok ok- going car shopping with sis in the morning so I will stop and get some then.
I can sleep with mix match sheet set.

I think I'll put fresh sheets on my bed tonight too, maybe even light a little incense. ;)
You would of enjoyed seeing me, wide eyes, hand on Cat's arm, voice kind of weak... "What do you mean you want me to watch the kids? I ... I .... do you think that is such a good idea?"
LOL
Yes- I got to babysit as their Mom took a shower and put a dye on her hair, while Cat went to get the pizza.
All of 5 minutes.
But think abou it... Me. Two kids.
Yeap- like I said.
I did alright tho...other then one little thing. The Mom called for sciccors and the girl went to take them to her, going down the hallway. I yelled out for her "Run with them!"
LOL.
Oh come on...she is almost 14 years old...she knew I was kidding. :P

That was better than my saying: it's all fun and games until someone looses an eye.
Then it's just fun :-P
I took some great pictures of booger- the little guy who never stands still.
Then of our little lady- who is almost a young woman. God it makes me feel old. And her mom is only one day older then me. And a friend since I was 13. :)
Then it was asking me to pluck and shape eyebrows.
O.o
Never done that on anyone else before.
But at least they are feeding me.
:D
Lazy ass day so far. Woke up around dawn... work time of this last week. Played on VR, went back to sleep to only have my sis call me at 10:00 to ask if she can use my cast iron oven to cook a roast.
I might as well get her the cast iron she wants. I was going to get it for Yule anyway.
Now I sit and eat muffins from the bottom to top, thinking I need to get up and shower. I have Cat's to go to today and take pictures of the kids. Makeup to do, try and get them to not notice the camera and just act normal. Their Mom knows a person who will draw them, from a pictures. I just have to get a picture during a 'normal' look.
Not that easy to do with a camera strap on your chest.
Really been thinking about Halloween this year. Trying to think of how to decorate my inside fake tree I leave up all year= seasonal thing.
Any ideas?
Ok--- got to get going. Think Sunday is going to be house cleaning day if I don't get some energy today.
Monday I get to go with sis car shopping. o.O Joy Joy. But as she has never had a new car it is the least I can do.
I am going to try to pay the tags, tax on it for a gift to her. Mom is helping a little on it. And I am happy. Me and my older sister was the only ones who got new cars. My was a 86 pickup, still have. I paid for it, with help from Mom and Dad.
It would be nice to help her get one. She always had crappy used cars. This one will last her many years as she only drives localy and during the day- as in store, drug store, Dr. with mom and brother.
Ok- got to get off my butt and start the day.
Drama Above Ground as Chilean Miners Await Rescue

AOL News (Sept. 2) -- Yonni Barrios may have been feeling trapped long before a landslide sealed him inside a Chilean gold mine last month.
As Barrios awaited rescue along with 32 other miners, his wife and his mistress met each other thousands of feet above, at a vigil for the men stuck in the mine. Marta Salinas, 56, says she heard the other woman calling her husband's name as families gathered to pray for the workers.
Salinas told told The Sun in London she was "horrified" but plans to keep her man. "Barrios is my husband. He loves me, and I am his devoted wife. This woman has no legitimacy," she told the British paper.
But the other woman, Susana Valenzuela, said she and the trapped miner will stay together. "We are in love," she told the paper. "I'll wait for him."
So today has been fun. During a larger move my sister asked me to go to a car dealer to see two cars she was thinking of buying. Ok- So the loading went well, me taking the time out to go check on the remodel as we were loading in town. Nothing like trying to order cast iron tub, surrounds, vanity sinks, toilet on the phone. Then it was off to the town 75 miles away to start unloading.
One thing about the move- she is really a nice lady. This is the 2nd time we are moving her within two years. Seems I am using Daddy’s death as my before or after time line. Anyway- on the phone she told me she had the same things she had last time so I priced her the 4,000 lbs of last move. When we got there early this morning I knew that price was way wrong. As in double. Why? Because she ended up with 8, 400 lbs. I hate that, I really do. Just sucks. I should of went out and made a estimate but she said she had the same amount. When she started to think of it- she admitted she had added. Still… just sucks it was so off. But as he was a doctor, driving BMW’s and moving into a 250,000.00 house I knew it was what it was so.
So the car dealer. I pull into the dealer and damn it if the cars wasn’t locked, Now my sister is like me- big size. We have to watch the what we buy that will fit our asses. Sure I could of put that in a better term but… long day. So that meant I had to find a salesman. *hiss*
He does the little dog and dance, I told him I just wanted to see inside the tow cars. He brings the keys out and I squeeze my ass between the cars, making damn sure I did not bang the other car when I open the door. Dude- fat chick. Could you not of offered to move the car out for me? *strike one* So I get in both of them, and knew what I was going to tell my sister. I said thanks and that is when it started. “Well lets go inside and see what price we can..” “No thanks.” “Sure we can get you a deal..” Fine- he wants to play that game- we will. “How much for the car- cash out.” “We have a great rate..” I started walking toward my car. “I never said I wanted to do anything with you but write you a check, give me a tempt tags.” “Well the price on the car is the price..” blah blah blah. I hate salesman.
I open my car door and say thanks, sure I would tell my sister his name. He gave me a card. I tried one more time “Write you a check- what price?” Then he got a little pissy. He looks at me, up and down, sweaty tshirt with dog hair all over it (customer had two dogs in the house) and said “You can write a check of 16, 800?” Good lord man- it isn’t a fucking Hummer… and was I just snubbed? I looked at him and said “Can’t everyone?” He just smiled and I said in my mind fuck it- sister can deal with her own car buying. I left, throwing his card in my purse to make sure she stayed away from that dick.
Then home 12 hours later to find a note from sis that the handyman needed keys to get into my trailer to fix the leak at my sink. WTF? I have told him three times- the leak is under the trailer. I smell mold when I open my cabinet doors in the kitchen, the floor in front of the ref is starting to get a wave, trailer floor--- water. I also told him I could not hear it from inside- he will have to get under the trailer to find the leak.
Three times I have told him this. Two times he said I drove by but you was not home. DUDE! You don’t need me here. You don’t need in the trailer. What? I have to have my hand up your fucking ass to get it done? Screw it- call a damn plumber like I should of to start with.
So I am just out of the shower- cold beer in hand, and ready to just chew a new asshole on someone. *Takes deep breath* But today is over, home now, safe, jobs done well, the remodel is going along. Mom, sis, and brother is well- they spent today doing laundry, washing bedding and mom got her nails painted by sis. Brother would not let them do his. Lol
So life is good here.

Oh they have some beautiful stuff there!
I ♥ Etsy. I got a few necklaces there, including a Valentines gift for my other half.
They always seem to have exactly what I need and the chance to get stuff customized.
I like the hairpins myself. =)
Reading the website of the man who has been killed after taking hostages at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Silver Spring, Md. He was known to picked the place. No one else was hurt.
The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:
1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!
2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.
3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!
4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn't, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??
5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)
6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don't build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!
7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people's brains until they get it!!
8. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You're the media, you can reach enough people. It's your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!
9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.
10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development!
11. You're also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more war.
Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture.
For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human's lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!
It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It's like a couple are having 30 babies even though it's just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too!
Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!
The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.
Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.
The humans? The planet does not need humans.
You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY KNOW this!
I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.
These are the demands and sayings of Lee.
O.o
Wow- I always liked the Discover shows. Good family TV.
COMMENTS
wow he didn't demand a cure for the common cold! Can we say crazy in a bad way.
Wait, he died, though, right? So ... One fewer filthy human utilizing 30 to a thousand times the resources of a third world child, who, incidentally, was encouraging mass broadcasting (and increasing the carbon footprint of EVERY viewer) ... etc. >.0 Truly. Way to start your decreasing of the human population, Lee! Good job.
You fucking twat-wit.
... Excuse me. I need a good lie-down.
I know! I was reading it thinking...its a freaking tv channel. How about going to your state reps and getting some laws changed. Go to car companies and utility companies and see about getting greener cars/ power.
LOL- Badger you are so right. One less crazy in the world.
I mean- where was his family? Reading this you know something was wrong.
Last night I was on Facebook, reading a little on the Waverly Hill site. I started a discussion about maybe trying to get a photo tour going on. Where you can take more then a mintue at each spot, not going for the history or the paranormal but to just take pictures.
A lady answer the post- saying she would love it. We added each other as friends and started to talk about the place when she linked me her own website. Her "professional photographer" site. I was kind of looking forward to seeing her pictures as she said I had a great eye, my pictures show that.
So I go over to her website...and ..well..
*rolls my eyes toward you to give you a look*
I must misunderstand what a professional photographer is. To me you should be better then what anyone can take with one of those point and shoot camera.
And no- I am not saying I am better...well maybe I am. While the setting still throw me off and will always keep me from saying I am... but really? That is a proffessional?
Goes to show you anyone can set up a website.
As you stand and glare at me.. I wonder if you have any idea what I am thinking. Let me give you dear reader a fucking clue.
ADT- been with you for freaking YEARS.
Two months of the alarm taking our phone lines- making me miss work. Dealt with the phone company, the phone company repair men. Men- yes--- they had to send out more then one.
Dealt with you showing up, not having the right equipment to work on the system.
Dealt with a vendor meet up as neither one of you was able to fix it… as I lost phone call after phone call. And when I called about it… “Oh it will be another week or ten days before we can get out there to it. Let’s see.. Today is the 1st so… 12th ok with you?” Ok with me? To not have phones that hang up on the caller every freaking ass two minutes? Guess what- NO It is not ok by me.
Took me over two months but now the system is running.
Till your fucking ass showed up.
“I popped one of the sensors. The other 7 are running but the one is out. I can bring the new one out and replace it ….”
I stopped you right there. NO- I want it fixed today. “But the part is a hour away, back at the shop.” “Well it is almost 3:00 so… see you when you get back.” I dare you to say a fucking word to me today…
I have had the "same shoe style on, but different color kind of day" and dare ya.
So you stand and glare. I glare back. Then you call someone to meet you half way, be back in a hour or so.
I have had enough of you ADT… up yours.
Up yours.

Incredible. What happened to giving a damn about good customers? Going the extra mile every now and then. When it's YOUR fuckup, fix it!
Dad gum it just once I want to be there when you chew ass! These guys must be under new management they sure didn't used to be so sorry.
Trucks just don't sound the same. Sitting in my office with the door open to the cooler air, trying to hold off on turning the A/C on, I listen as the trucks start today.
The newer one does a little quack quack bing...quack quack bing...humm....and then the it roars to life. Computers have ruined the starting of a truck. I just can't get use to the sound of these newer trucks. Of course I have sprayed enough starter fuild into one in the winter to try and get one started to like the computer but still....
Then the old stand by that is called into play today. A 1986 International. Now these are the motors I am use to. Turn of the key, engine roars... and it just sounds like a truck. Give it a little fuel and its motor just growls like a big dog ready to pounce. It sounds like what a truck should sound like. And if you plug it in the winter, keeping the heater on the motor and lines warm, it always started.
So which one would I buy if both was new? The old style of 1986. Not one computer on that truck, you can get repairs done at about any location, and they cost so much less. Yes it uses more fuel, but still.... you have to listen to that truck start and the smile on my face to understand.
