I had written a large piece for the ending, far well to this space, but I saved it on a different laptop, and then I formatted that hard drive. Upside is that i have a new imac... also a new addition to my collection of stuff, a new all in one media internet, and data device, That is uber-sextacular... in the way that my new Imac was g4 power book sexy but with sweet tits, this new device allows me to check my email from bed. I have truly become one of the swine. Iam in love with my own decadence. But know in your heart that i have experienced the emptiness of this lifestyle. I am often reminded of what Roger Corless once wrote, he states looking for happiness in the comsumption of the material was like "... trying to satisfy the hunger by taping sandwiches to all over my body. "
Fucking Buddhists.
What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.
Having a flexible, healthy body. I used to be able to wrap my legs around my neck and cross my feet behind my neck. Seriously. As a teenager.
My back injury means I will never be that way again regardless.
I entered "JESUS" in the search engine at CafePress.com. I ended up with a long list of bumper stickers, some of which I'll share. Here are some of my favorites: (Ok, before the stones are thrown – I found these really funny. Some are truly horrible as well… just because I posted them does NOT mean I agree with them. …all)
I FOUND JESUS(He’s in the trunk of my car)
I FOUND JESUS (He was behind the sofa)
Christianity does not teach hate
Aslan is on the move
Christian who thinks
Jesus saves sinners! (And redeems them for valuable prizes)
The real Jesus forgives your jesus for being a greedy republican warmonger
Jesus would use His turn signal
Jesus was a social activist liberal
WWJT = Who Would Jesus Torture?
Get Real! Like Jesus would ever own a gun or vote republican
Jesus is coming ~ look busy
The fish symbol with “sushi” in it
Jesus told me to mock George W Bush
Hatred, bigotry and intolerance are not Christian values
Want less
Draft SUV drivers
So many Christians so few lions
Who would Jesus Bomb?
God doesn’t exist so I guess no one loves you
We’re making enemies faster than we can kill them
Ok, so stone me later... these were funny! I'm shopping for stuff to make my momivan "findable" in the parking lot. Honda's tend to congregate enmasse in this town. Gahhh!
The north closet got the biggest makeover. Understand, Cimmorene assembled those shelves herself and then pulled out ALL the junk that was in there. I lend a hand as I could, and passed her food to place on those shelves (i.e., they are for food storage purposes). As I said in my other post, I went to our pantry inside and pulled out the things we wanted to store out here. I also sorted school books and such (as I also referred to in the other post) as per my promise. Some I wanted to keep. Some of them will be taken for cash at our local Book Worm bookstore, and the rest will be donated to a thrift store. Some were borrowed from my father, and I spoke with him today about returning them.
The south closet had a plastic drawer set that was holding our last food storage setup. We decided to dispose of it. The goal was to make sure items were away from the furnace (it's to the right in that picture). Cimmy proudly showed it to our apartment manager and apparently we should pass that part of an apartment inspection the next time it comes up.
One picture I forgot to take a picture of was the porch between the two closets. This was another work in progress. See, I set up bins to separate our recycling-- a bit messy at times, but it's about the only way Princess gets any cash. We had worked hard to get a setup that was neat and relatively tidy before. Today, it was mostly about removing the dust from the concrete and the doormats we had set out. There is not much grass along that porch (as part of the complex's outer area) and so dust is a problem. We hope that our current management, who has been very "go-to" about repairs and maintenance, will eventually put in some grassa to fill in the bald spots. Then again, they will have to fill the big rut in the dirt my daughter made.
Show us your happy place.

My happy place most definitely has good food.
Let's hope that no Happy Joe's pizzerias were harmed in that nasty storm.
I suppose that this is as good of a place as any to mention it, but Sister, nephew and I went to La Rancharita for breakfast on my first day there and at 10 AM I was chowing down on the most awesome steak burrito. Yum.
I miss my Sister!
My mama was out camping (rv'ing!) since Sunday so I didn't expect to hear from her for a few days...I hadn't been keeping up with the hometown news - looks like the IL side of the Quad Cities had its ass whooped by a killer storm. My folks survived and are back home...Mom called on her cell, they have no power. Trees down - everywhere. Big, old trees. :-( They have their camper on the street, it has a generator and a fridge. Good times. They have some ice, beer and hot dogs over a fire tonight on the patio. Wish 'em luck, y'all.

- Finishing prep work in the second bedroom so I can now hang the ceiling drywall

Well, Animal Control came to visit Sandy Pit, the chained pit bull next door. The neighbors say they did not breed her and that there were only four in the litter - that none died. (Uh huh) And they already knew who complained. And we got the one finger wave as we were leaving today. If I put one of those “chains hurt” bumper stickers on my car, think something would happen to it?
