Good bye Bloggarittaville..........................

Well the day has come for me to move on. I have stopped by all yer spaces this past couple weeks, and now the time is here for my final blog. What  a year it has been, since I started here? I have come to care much about my friends I have met here on spaces. You have been so good for me. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and you will not be forgotten.
 
Updates are as follows.
 
Mom? doing worse, still not eatting, stays in bed most of the time, hallucinating. Long talk with my brother last night, and after I called her nurse of record. She is to have come and seen mom today. I am not holding my breath for improvement. I have long since turned it over to God and his will.
 
my new business has been off to a good start, I suspect it will grow quickly over time as word spreads. I have over 15 clients already and I'm quite excited over how well its gone.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wishing all of you fellow spacers a wonderful and prosperous New year. Remember my business opens tomorrow. You've seen the webpage. The actual forum opens midnight tonight, PST. Check it out here http://healingbranches.com/forum/index.php   If you or someone you know needs a ear for a issue thats bugging you or are having more serious problems, refer them to healingbranches.com. Christmas was nice with my bro and his family. Unfortunately Mom is not taking care of herself, taking her meds or anything to get better. I suspect she'll be in a nursing home within the next few months. Can't help those who won't help themselves. sad 
I will try to visit you all again, but msn continues to be an ongoing headache to me when I try. So until then, Love to you all.
 
now for the funny of the day..........................
 
"Signs You've Chosen A 'No Frills' Airline":
 
They don't sell tickets, they sell chances.
 
All the insurance machines in the terminal are sold
out.
 
Before the flight, the passengers get together and
elect a pilot.
 
You cannot board the plane unless you have the exact
change.
 
Before you took off, the stewardess tells you to fasten
your Velcro.
 
The Captain asks all the passengers to chip in a little
for gas.
 
When they pull the steps away, the plane starts rocking.
 
The Captain yells at the ground crew to get the cows
off the runway.
 
You ask the Captain how often his planes crash and he
says, "Just once."
 
No movie. Don't need one. Your life keeps flashing
before your eyes.
 
You see a man with a gun, but he's demanding to be let
off the plane.
 
All the planes have both a bathroom and a chapel.

    An Idea who's t ime has come

    Interesting, my visitors has decreased since my last entry Here I have exciting news, and request my friends feedback here in Bloggarrittaville. Please don't forsake me now (sigh). Ok my new business web page is up and I'd like some feedback? please visit it at 

    http://healingbranches.com/   Tell me what you think of the concept? The actual forum I have been hard at work on. I am very excited about this venture. Tell me what you think? and of course keep it in mind, tell yer friends. Currently it is for 18 and older. At some point, when I know more about the whole admin part of it, I would like to open it to teens as well, (with parental permission only). So this is why I have not been around much. I do hope to hear from as many of you as possible, as this is a novel concept (as far as I know) and I'm eager to get it started January 1st 2007.

    In other news, this month marks my 1 year as a blogger here on msn, or anywhere, lol.  So stop and say Happy Anniversary, k?

    Now onto todays old funny.............................................................

    A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.
    Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.

    "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter!
    Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY!
    Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter.
    Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER?
    They're going to STICK! Careful...CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL!
    You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them!
    Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind?
    Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them.
    Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!!! THE SALT!!!"

    The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you?
    You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

    The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it
    feels like when I'm driving."

    overwhelmed Wednsday

    Oh my fellow spacers, I have missed you this week. But I had an epiphany earlier in the week and have begun a year long plus, dream and have begun my own business on the www. I bit the bullet and got a domain and a forum and a server and am now setting it up. What I have learned so far is "OMG I have so much to learn" I thought having moderateda couple forums, that it would just entail some further tech learning to administrate one Lets just say that in 3days of tutorial reading on how to do what I need to do as admin, I have been overwhelmed and unable to do anything but whine and flood anyone who will listen with questions and such. So if any of you are involved in a forum? go hugs yer adminsitrator today. You have no idea what work they do to keep that place active and functioning technically.
              I know I will cath on and have already enlisted a friend to help with the admin stuff. The idea for the forum is new and not being done yet, so it will serve a service and I think it will be a good money maker, down the line. Its this initial putting it together thats gonna require alot of fortitude on my part and those helping me. I can't elaborate further, but stay tuned for the grande opening by January 1st. And of course keep my sanity in yer prayers, I need that for sure
             I won't be blog walking as much for the next month or so as I really need to put my energies into the business. i feel like I live on this puter now, as if i wasn't on it enuff as it is
             Am looking forward to seeing my family for the holiday here. Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.
    Oh I had the idea too last night, that when I get my business up and running, how interested would ya all be in a forum for us bloggers here? where we could interact and play games and such? Just an idea? Is there already one somewhere and I just haven't been invited? lol
    ok lets see if i have a joke to post...............................

    Testing Tuesday

    Howdy fellow spacers          I regret the length of time since my last entry but, you know how it goes. Between Computer class and HTML lessons and online surveys, I'm a bit puter fried, and not ready to deal for hours of msn waits for webpages to load. Oops, that means another few months of not being featured for msn space of the week hehehe
    Ok catch up time? I took the microsoft office specialist pre test yesterday and scored 90%Felt good about that. The HTML lessons continue to give me a headache, thus far I have learned to insert images and learned how to bold and size my font. Now I am working on colors of font tags and indents.Has been 2 weeks and I am still not getting it
     
    In other news, Mom is doing fine, I will be seeing her and the family next week for Thanksgiving. Am gonna help her go thru the clutter that is taking over their home. I truly think I need to spend more time in the company of humans, as this morning as I was preparing the kitties breakfast I found myself singing the following ditty to the tune of "Double Trouble" (by Elvis)
     
                "Weve got sammy salmon, we've got sammy salmon
                 Twice as much as any other kitty oh yeah
                   woah oh oh oh
                    woah oh oh oh"
     
    So you see, I need to be resocialised well I guess I shall see if I can insert a pic in here HTML style, just to see if I got it down. Special thank you to Bored Barb who has provided a treasure trove of smileys in her blog the past year that I have stolen...........I mean borrowed. hehehe
    and todays funny is curtesy of Bob of http://spaces.msn.com/ruserious1947/  thank you. Lastly I have recently come across this fun little site where you come up with a caption for the days picture, i have alot of fun with it, if you have time, make it part of yer fun each day here  http://dewitte64.spaces.live.com/  and now onto today funny email..........
     
    A funny
     

    1. Examine the software packaging until you find a little printed box that
    explains what kind of computer system you need to run the software. It
    should look something like this:

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 2386 PROCESSOR OR HIGHER 628.8 MEGAHERTZ MODEM 719.7 MB
    FREE DISK SPACE 3546 MB RAM 432323 MB ROM 05948737 MB RPM ANTILOCK BRAKING
    SYSTEM 2 TURTLE DOVES NOTE: This software will not work on your computer.

    2. Open the software packaging and remove the manual. This will contain
    detailed instructions on installing, operating, and trouble-shooting the
    software. Throw it away.

    3. Find the actual software, which should be in the form of either a
    3.5-inch floppy diskette or a CD-ROM, located inside a sealed envelope that
    says:

    LICENSING AGREEMENT: By breaking this seal, the user hereinafter agrees to
    abide by all the terms and conditions of the following agreement that nobody
    ever reads, as well as the Geneva Conve! ntion and the U.N. Charter and the
    Secret Membership Oath of the Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks and
    such other terms and conditions, real and imaginary, as the Software Company
    shall deem necessary and appropriate, including the right to come to the
    user's home and examine the user's hard drive, as well as the user's
    underwear drawer if we feel like it, take it or leave it, until death do us
    part, one nation indivisible, by the dawn's early light, finders keepers,
    losers weepers, thanks you've been a great crowd, and don't forget to tip
    your servers.

    4. Hand the software to a child aged 3 through 12 and say, "(Name of child),
    please install this on my computer."

    5. If you have no child age 3 through 12, insert the software in the
    appropriate drive, type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.

    6. Turn the computer on, you idiot.

    7. Once again type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.

    8. You will hear grinding and! whirring noises for a while, after which the
    following mes! sage s ho uld appear on your screen:

    The Installation Program will now examine your system to see what would be
    the best way to render it inoperable. Is it OK with you? Choose one, and be
    honest:

    | YES | | SURE |

    9. After you make your selection, you will hear grinding and whirring for a
    very long time while the installation program does who knows what in there.
    Some installation programs can actually alter molecular structures, so that
    when they're done, your computer has been transformed into an entirely new
    device, such as a food processor. At the very least, the installation
    program will create many new directories, sub-directories,
    sub-sub-directories, on your hard drive and fill them with thousands of
    mysterious files with names like "puree.exe," "fester.dat," and "doo.wha."

    10. When the installation program is finished, your screen should display
    the following message:

    CONGRATULATIONS
    The installation progra! m cannot think of anything else to do to your
    computer and has grown bored. You may now attempt to run your software.

    If you experience any problems, electrical shocks, insomnia, shortness of
    breath, nasal discharge, or intestinal parasites, you should immediately
    swear, like this: *!%!$&$%&*^$*!#$#!$*^&.

    11. At this point your computer system should become less functional than
    the federal government, refusing to respond even when struck with furniture.

    12. Call the toll-free Technical Support Hotline number listed on the
    package and wait on the line for a representative, who will explain to you,
    in a clear, step-by-step manner, how to adopt a child aged 3 through 12

    Finangled Friday

    Well folks, I am definitley the victim of identity theft. My name and addy and drivers license number have been used by a woman to write bad checks all over Fremont and she used it to rent a car of which she has not returned. So thankfully the police in fremont found that it wasn't me, as she is african american and I am caucasion, she has doctored a license with her pic but my addy. As of Monday last week she has 4 warrants out for her arrest and she is using others info as well as mine. Fortunately the actual credit card she used isn't mine.

Yes fellow spacers I have dilegently protected my open accounts and filed the proper info to my appropriate peoples. lol. thanks.
    In other news, the "jag off family's Privite investigator called me this morning to get my opinion (profesionally) of the allegations the daughter made against the father, and asked if I would testify in court to same, if she doesn't settle out of court. i said of course.
    As to Mom, the dear woman has drove me nut all month with this never ending "cold" she supposedly has, she would daily make statements about "oh i love to have my hot chocolate when i am sick" or I love to hang out in bed and watch tv when I am sick" and I would state, "Well honey you can enjoy those things healthy too, you don't have to be sick to do them" so today the cat leaks out of the bag, as we're talking, she says what a mess their place is, and theres clothes folded and stacked up all over. Then she says, good thing I am sick and can't be bothered with it". lol, I told her when I come up for Thanksgiving we will go thru her clothes closet and drawers and get rid of the stuff that no longer fits (as she has planty) and make room for the stuff that does, silly woman...........

    A minister was completing a
    Temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, "If I
    Had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
    With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had
    All the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
    And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he
    Said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world,
    I'd take it and pour it into the river."
     
    Sermon complete, he sat down.
     
    The song leader stood very cautiously and announced
    With a smile, nearly laughing, "For our closing song,
     
    Let us sing Hymn #365, "Shall We Gather at the River."

    Social Saturday

     Hello fellow bloggers, wow 2 updates in 1 week, can you believe it? lol. Well some things to share so here I am. First off BB and CG update (Thats Beautiful boy and Cutie girl) the kitties I rescued and found a home for. I called their owners last night, as i was worried the past week or two about their vacation and how it was gonna be for the 2 kitties. The husband answered and said the kitties are fine, and happy and healthy. He thanked me for gi ving them to them and paying all the medical stuff. They absolutley adore them and vice versa, so now I can fully let go and know that all is well.
    On more of a strange note..............I recieved a certified letter a few days ago from a rental car agency asking me to please return the car I rented from them on the 6th of this month. problem is I did not rent a car from them on that day or any day this year??????So I c all them and ask how my name was related to a car I never rented, they read off a credit card number to me and I assured them I had no such credit card with that number. So now they have to send me a forgery form to sign and have notarised and send back. So...........how did someone get my name and address, granted its a name I haven't used legally in over 10 years? Of course I immediatley called the bank to make sure my bank account hadn't been accessed for car rentlas or anything else I hadn't done. All was well thereRegardless its disconcerning that someone would use my name for such a thing?

    Subject: Politics Explained

    A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
    Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
    I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
    Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the
    Government.
    We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
    The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
    And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
    Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
    So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said
    Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check
    on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
    So the little boy goes to his parent'! s room and finds his mother sound
    asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the
    door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the
    nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

    >The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I
    >understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good, son, tell
    >me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
    >
    >The little boy replies, "The President is screwing the Working Class while
    >the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the
    >Future is in deep shit."

    Made it on time Monday

    Today was "file management" in computer class and I was happy to have drug my butt out of bed on time and get there, on time (for a change)So now on my list of chores is to clean up my poor puter and organise these files and delete the duplicates I threw all over it, when I didn't know what the hell I was doing
    I'm also still plugging away on ebays HTML group practices. passed my 1st lessonUnfortunately my little buying spree has been shut down til Novemeber (late) as I had an incredible cigg tax for the year come due that I had to pay this week, which cut into my other bills I planned on paying. I have 200 bucks more to the lawyer and she'll be paid off. Today she gave me the Bankrupcy class info, which I have to take before she files, but waited til the end to give me. Of course none of the clases are anywhere near where I live and they cost money. The great American way, if it makes no sense, better believe we'll adopt itI just want this whole chapter to be done with by the new year, ya know?
             In other news, Mom spent the afternoon with my brother and his family yesterday. We talked about  it every day for 3 weeks, yet she had forgotten each day when I reminded her. So I called Sunday and reminded her and she started getting all anxious, I calmed her down and told her to start getting ready and not to get all crazy about it, its just fam, at their house. She ended up going and Mike says they all had a good time. Watched a movie, ate mexican food and his wife cut and styled her hair for her. Sad thing is, I asked her today if she enjoyed herself and she said "I can't remember, let me ask Fred" (her husband). lol, sad, he wasn't even with her
                  What else......................my statistics show I have had over 10,000 visits now here. Clearly not all have posted comments 
           Weather here is still low 80s during the day. Today I fed the ducks and had about 40 of them following me back to the EDD building, lol. well, updated my recently read booklist on here. As to the scanner hook up, haven't done it yet, maybe this weekend, nag me people, and I may get to it quicker
    now onto todays funny old email...............................
     
    Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the
    meal, Brian's mother could not help but keep noticing how beautiful Brian's roommate, Stephanie, was.
     
    Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and
    Stephanie, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two react, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Stephanie
    than met the eye.
       
    Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Stephanie and I are just roommates."
     
        About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying, "Ever since your
    mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy
    ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"
     
    Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure.
     
    Therefore, he sat down and wrote:
     
     Dear Mom:
        I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm
    not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains
    that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
     Love, Brian
     
       
    Several days later Brian received an email back from his mother that
    read:
     
     Dear Son:
        I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Stephanie, I'm not saying that
    you "do not" sleep with Stephanie. Nevertheless, the fact remains that if
    Stephanie were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom
     
     
     
        LESSON OF THE DAY ... NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOTHER!!!

    Kick back Tuesday

    Howdy all    My trip to Redding went well. Mom and I had a good time visiting. Ciouldn't get her out of the house, but we had a nice time chatting and reminiscing. I had a memory book (that her and I had written 20 years ago) that I took there and we reread it together. It was full of stuff that both of us had forgotten. She is still very thin and has a rash on her face and keeps getting these bumps on her eyelids, from rubbing them all the time. Her nurse was scheduled to come over the following Monday and check it out and do some blood work on her. Other than that she was in a good mood. I spent the eve with my brother and his family. We had a great time as always. Stayed up til 1:30 in the morning, outside chatting and being entertained by their 6 cats. I got some great pics of my niece and nephew.
    While hunting for moms memeory book I found my digital camera dn the power cord to my scanner, so I hope to be able to put up some new pics onto my puter this week to share. In other news...........I am enjoying my ebay forays and am learning HTML to make my own web pages. My computer class had me nearly brain dead on Monday.............sometimes I feel I am learning so many new things, that my brain is going to explode. Oh I ended up starting another blog here http://kadrinscorner.blogspot.com/ not to replace this one, but in order to leave comments on some of you who have moved there, one has to open an account so......funny thing is, now I can't access it cuz it says my password is invalid? silly.
    The weather here remains wonderful.  Tige and Oce are well. So now onto todays old funny email...........then some blogwalking..................................
     
     
    CAMPING

    Dear Mom & Dad,

    Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried. We

    are okay. Only one of our tents and two sleeping

    bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Adam when it happened. Oh yes, please call Adam's mother and tell her he is okay. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found Adam in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning. Scoutmaster Keith got mad at Adam for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Adam said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you

    put gas on a fire, the gas will blow up? The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did and also some

    of our clothes. Matthew is going to look weird until his hair grows back. We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Keith gets the bus fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked okay when we left. Scoutmaster Keith said that with a bus that old you have to expect some thing to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance. We think it's a neat bus. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the fenders. It gets pretty hot with 45 people in a bus. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway

    patrol man stopped and talked to us. Scoutmaster Keith is a neat guy. Don't worry, he's a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Jesse how to drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up there are logging trucks. This morning

    all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Keith wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Adam was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Keith isn't crabby like some Scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about us not wearing life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the bus so we are trying not to cause him any trouble. Guess what? We have all passed our

    first aid merit badges. When Andrew dived into the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. Steven and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Keith said it probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick that way with food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out and became our Scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get things done better while he was doing his time. By the way, what is a pedal file? I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters and buy some more beer. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.
    Love,
    Chris

    Seasonal Sunday

    Greetings spacer friends. Thanks for yer suggestions regarding running a quicker msn. I have helped the problem by removing one of my spy programs that kept jamming me up on here when loading spaces. Will keep tweaking things til optimal performance.
    The weather is excellent lately. 70s and low 80s during the day. The cats love it.
    No complaints today, can you believe it? lol
    The reason I am updating today was more for the funny I want to post and the anniversary of the Peanuts gang.
    Also I need to update my booklist. Today is my annual counting of the books I have. Will be a chore but, I likek to keep track once a year.
    so without further ado..............todays funny and informative Peanuts anniversay sharing.
     
    The "Peanuts" comic strip by Charles Schulz, starring Charlie Brown
    and his dog Snoopy, first appeared on October 2, 1950. It was
    published in 9 newspapers at the time. Snoopy first appeared two
    days later.

    In honor of Charles Schultz, who retired Charlie Brown and the gang.
     
     
    Most cartoon characters remain frozen in time. Though they've
    been around almost 50 years, the members of the Peanuts gang
    are in some unspecified elementary school holding pattern.

    But what if they had been allowed to age like the rest of us?
    With apologies to Charles Schulz:

    Charlie Brown: Operates Good Grief Counseling Inc., which
    specializes in manic depressives and people who are just
    having a bad day. Moonlights as a pitching coach at high school
    and college levels. Married to Marcie. They have a roundheaded
    son who wears glasses.

    Linus: Developer of Security Blanket Software, which is a hot item
    on the New York Stock Exchange. Worth millions but is actively
    involved in charitable causes, including the Great Pumpkin 5K Fun
    Run every Halloween. Only man who makes Bill Gates nervous.

    Lucy: Serving her seventh term in Congress. On her third husband.
    Claims she hasn't thought about Schroeder in years, but the
    background music on her answering machine is Beethoven.

    Schroeder: After years on the classical performing circuit, he runs
    a piano bar in Carmel, Calif. Won't let anybody lean on his piano.

    Sally: Never quite got over being spurned by Linus. Has a cat
    named Sweet Baboo. Sells Mary Kay.

    Peppermint Patty: Women's athletic director at a Midwest
    university. Her fashion credo: "Sandals go with everything."

    Snoopy: In dog years, he be 350. What do you think would've
    happened to him? Linus has created an endowment at Daisy
    Hill Puppy farm in Snoopy's memory.

    Tenseless Tuesday

    Well it only took 10 minutes for this site to load, Could be why I don't update more than once a week lately
    Does it load faster if you hide things like freinds lists etc? If so, I may hide some of this stuff on here.
    Well lets see..................Got a call from the kitties new owners (finally) and they are all healed from their spaying and neuturing. The woman absolutley adores them and says they are fitting in just fine. That finally allowed me to let go and quit worrying over them
    Tige and Oce are back to enjoying their castle and being carefree little sweeties
    I had a run in again with my lawyers office and the Beotch that runs it. Seems my lawyer decided Wednsday (last week) that she no longer wants to do BKs, then decided Friday that she would continue to represent my case. I demanded a meeting with her yesterday and basically said "Put up or shut up" She has agree'd to see it thru
    Mom continues to have her good days and her bad days. I am going up to see her in less than 2 weeks.
    The weather here has cooled off and rain expected tomorrow
    Am still learning tons of stuff in my computer class.
    Have been active on ebay the past couple weeks. Has anyone found this to be  addicting? lol
    Well can't think of much more to add, such is my exciting life lately, but i like it this way, for now. so onto todays old funny email............................

    Sanguine Sunday

    Well I found a home for the kittens Friday evening. It was hard letting them go and saying goodbye, but its for the best all around. Tige and Oce were not enjoying life and I was too stressed dealing with it all. It was hampering my plans all the way thru the holidays. The home they went to is not far from where I live and its a youing married couple with a 3 year ald daughter. I am still paying for their spaying and neuturing thursday. I sent food and their fav toys with them. I cried off n on all day yesterday and the eve i got rid of them. I am feeling better about it now. Tige and Oce are happy and content again and I am less stressed. So send a prayer that they settle into their new home and can have some consistency now for a while. Those poor luvs went thru alot this month.
     
    As to mom, her memory issues are seeming to get worse. Some days I can barely get thru a 10 minute call with her without wanting to scream in frustration. I called the nurse who oversaw her case since she left the hospital and told her mom needs to be assessed again for meds, increase or? If I follow thru and find work back there after the winter, I can moniter her better living in the same town. Part of not keeping the kitties was I realised that I could not do my visits in Redding thru the holidays, worrying about if they were fighting back here, with Tige or Oce, while I was gone.
     
    My back continues to throb constantly, hopefully it will settle down soon. Oh I almost forgot...........Court....." Jag off and his new bride arrived about 15 minutes late. The judge instructed all of us there for small claims to meet with the defendents and see if we could strike a deal before he had to make a ruling. Niether jag off nor I wanted to be stuck in court all day  so we agree'd to he pay me 360.00 right there and then and call it a done deal. He said his one daughter is still living with her mom and is still going to court over the allegations of abuse. he is giving up custody of her. The other dsaughter is still having some problems, and he and his wife are still stressed. I was thinking "well duh, cuz yer all jag offs" So the saga is done now with them and the kitties. Time to move on...............
     
    So theres my update for now.................now onto todays old funny email.............
     
    Cowboy Joke...
     
    A lady walks into a bar in Waco.  She immediately notices a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table wearing the biggest boots she's ever seen.
     
    She asks the cowboy if it's true what they say about men with big feet being well endowed.
     
    The cowboy grins and says, "Shore is, little lady.  Come out to the bunkhouse and let me prove it to you."
     
    The woman's very curious, so she agrees to spend the night with him.
     
    The next morning she hands him a $100 bill.
     
    Blushing, he says, "Well, thankee, ma'am. Ah'm real flattered. Ain't nobody ever paid me fer mah services before."
     
    "Don't be flattered," she replies gruffly.  "Use the money to buy yourself some boots that fit!"

    Tense Tuesday

    Well ya all beat the goal for comments for my bday. Many thanks. My birthday was uneventful. being in a new town, no friends here or family so celebrations were non existent. I over ate on fast food and bought a book to celebrate.
    The news of King Toms passing has left me quite down. Ya just never know when the clock runs out. I have been down pretty much since I heard last Wednsday.
    The kitty situation here is not going well. The kittens now have tape worms, easy enuff to treat, but again more money. Awoke to poop on the floor pillow in their room. They are now starting to dig at the door in their room and this morning BB took out after my other two cats, yet again. My Tige and Oce are now starting to sneeze on occassionI hope they haven't caught what these two had. So at this point I am 50/50 at wheyther this 4 cat situation is gonna work out.
    On top of it all Mom is starting to get real repetitive again with her talking. Asking the same things over and over every time we talk. I know its not her fault, but its annoying As hell and I find myself not wanting to call her every day becouse of it.
    Day after tomorrow is court with "jag off" if he even shows.
    So no real good news in this blog. Please pray that Tige Oce don't get sick. And of course that my next blog has better news on all fronts. so now onto todays old funny, you'll need it after reading this far
     
     
    George Carlin's New Rules for 2006:
     
    New Rule for women with  tattoos: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you  spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass and it translates to  "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying  to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual: you're just high.
     
    New  Rule for competitive eaters: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the  seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating,  because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting.   What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait...they're already doing that. It's  called "The Howard Stern Show."
     
    New Rule for candy makers: I don't need a  bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.
     
    New Rule for brides to be: No more gift registries. You know, it  used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving; it's the white people version of looting.
     
    New Rule  for posh restaurants: No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy  is offering me a towel and a mint, like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish.  I don't want to be on your webcam, dude: I just want to wash my hands.
     
    New Rule for young mothers: When I ask how old your toddler  is, I don't need to know in months: "27 Months."  "He's two," will do  just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first  place.
     
    New Rule for AOL: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com!  There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years...you  don't particularly like them!  Besides, I already know what the captain of the  football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.
     
    New Rule for the  Arizona Republic: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot,  blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these  kids: lucky bastards.
     
    New Rule for bored young men: If you need to shave  and you still collect baseball cards, you're a dope. If you're a kid, the  cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of  men.
     
    New Rule for all women: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's  how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're  done.
     
    New Rule for soft drink manufacturers: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink.  You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.
     
    New Rule for the pharmaceutical industry: Stop  f---ing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's  square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time  grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue.  Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.

    Warm as hell Wednsday

    Thanks for the helpful advice regarding BB's (Beautiful Boys) pooping issue. Since I removed blanket and comfortor he has stuck to the litter box. I have 3 litter boxes for 4 cats and they are kept clean thruout the day. I am fastidious about that.
    Well the socialization continues. For the most part its going well. Oce and CG (Cutey girl) even kissed noses this morning. BB still focuses too much on Tige and Oce as a threat. I took the 2 little ones in today for their shots. They were excellent thru the whole ordeal. They go back in toward the end of the month and get fixed, then a week later they get their  booster shots. Wish I could post a pic of them on here, but I haven't found my digital camera since I moved hereI had their nails trimmed today as well, I am scratched all to heck from their sharp little claws climbing me etc. BB takes issue if I munch on Peanut m n m's around him, he growls and starts slinking around me, must sound like I'm crunching kitty bones or something? CG likes to lay on my mouse pad with her chin on the keyboard, while I'm on the computer. Makes doing things on here difficult, but she likes being close to me
     
    In other news.........Mom is doing well, we talk daily. Once these kitties are settled I will go visit with her the next few months. My Nephew got his drivers license and hads his own car now and drives to school.
     
    My birthday is Saturday. The big 45. No special plans as funds are tight, speaking of which, The sherrifs apparently onely made one attem,pt to serve "jag off" and when he wasn't around, considered it not worth going back. So I called him myself and told him of the court date and mailed him a copy of the summons.
     
    Weather here has been in the 100's the past few days. hence todays blog title. Hello Mother nature??????This is Fall, not summer!!!!!!!!!!!
     
    Well over the next few days I shall update my blog friends lists on here. I have new ones to add, and old ones to switch around.
     
    As to my Birthday wish for my blog friends out here? 26 comments is my record for an entry. Lets break that record for my Birthday shall we? Hey its the little things in life right?
     
    Ok onto todays old funny email.................
     
     
    two elderly people living in Trailer Estates Mobile Home Park,
    he was a widower and she a widow, had known each other for a number of
    years.  One evening there was a community dinner in the Clubhouse.
     
    The two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal
    went on, he took a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered the
    courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"
     
    After about six seconds of 'careful consideration, she answered, "Yes.
    Yes, I will."
     
    The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant exchanges, they went to
    their respective places.
     
    Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say 'no'?"
    He couldn't remember. Try as he might, he just could not recall. Not
    even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her. First, he
    explained that he didn't remember as well as he used to. Then he
    reviewed the lovely evening past. As he gained a little more courage, he
    inquired, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say
    'No'?"
     
    He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and I
    meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "I am so glad that you
    called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

    Figuring Friday

    Greetings Spacer friends,
    Kitten project continues............the new male has pooped twice on linens in the room. This is not ok. I have never had a cat NOT potty trained. They use the litter, he just seems to occassionally want something differentAny advice out there? I can't keep him if this continues. He also took out after Tige again this morning. He can be very aggressive. I'm sure the neuturing will settle that down, as I also won't keep him if that continues to be a problem. Other than that he's a sweet, fun a ffectionate and rowdy kitty. lol, just as I typed this they both let out a yowl, wrestling with each otherThe little boy and girl. The girl is a little cutie and rowdy as heck when wound up. They climb my bare legs, attack my feet. I got scrathes all over me. Tige and Oce have been GREAT settling into the routine
     
    I continue to enjoy all that I'm learning in Computer class. I had no idea what all one can do with microsoft works program. I am getting certified as a specialist with it, by class end. Still have not heard regarding my extension for benefits. My court date with "jag off" is the 21st of this month. Mom has been sounding good. She really, really wants me to move back where she is (the town) not her place, lol, though I'm sure she's dig that too. I told her after the winter. I am gonna go see her sometime this month though. Well not much else to report on. I learned form to ebay wins that UK Videos do not play on US VCRs. So I have 4th ond 5th season of "Friends" and cannot enjoy themI've been rewatching my scattered "Hill Street Blues" episodes again. Well guess thats it.................now todays old funny email...............
     
     
    "Don't Step On The Ducks!"
     
    Three women die together in an accident and go
    to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says,
    "We only have one rule here in heaven ... don't
    step on the ducks." So they enter heaven, and
    sure enough, there are ducks all over the place.
    It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and
    although they try their best to avoid them, the first
    woman accidentally steps on one.  Along comes
    St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St.
    Peter chains them together and says, "Your
    punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend
    eternity chained to this ugly man!"
     
    The next day, the second woman accidentally steps
    on a duck, and along come St. Peter, who doesn't
    miss a thing, and with him is another extremely ugly
    man. He chains them together with the same
    punishment as the first woman.
     
    The third woman has observed all this and, not
    wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man,
    is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages
    to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one
    day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome
    man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, tan, muscular,
    and with good hair. St. Peter chains them together
    without saying a word.
     
    The woman remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve
    being chained to you for all of eternity?" And the guy says,
    "Well, I don't know what you did, but I stepped on a duck."

    Meandering Monday

    Well I am happy to say the the two little newcomers are feeling and looking healtheir than I have ever seen them. They are done with all the meds cept 2 and look and feel fine and frisky. The socialisation process between them and Oce and Tige is coming along. We had a set back this morning when Tige hissed at Beautiful boy and Beautiful boy chased Tige down the stairsI don't know who was more suprised me or Tige. I seperated them for a few hours after and told Beauty boy its not nice to chase the alpha male. All 4 are catnapping the afternoon away. makes me want to nap watching themTige and Oce are more relaxed with the little girl, she is so sweet and fiesty and boy does she pack the food awayBoth of them are very loving and playful, they sound like a herd of elephants in the morning when they wake up refreshed from a good nights sleep.
     
    In other news, another miracle related to mom happened a couple days ago. She called me, (first time in years) and wanted to ask my forgiveness for her behaviour all the years she was drinking, and for all the things she put us thru in the process. She also talked honestly and openly about how undeserving she feels of love and good things. She has a strong sense of self loathing, says she's always had it. We talked about her seeing a therapist and getting on some anti- depressants. We talked for 2 hours and she was clear as a bell. I told her why I thought she started drinking to self medicate. I also told her that her actions when drinking were part of the disease, not her. It was a miraculous conversation. She promised she would never drink another drop of alcohol in her lifetime. I told her that as long as she stuck to that, there was no need for asking forgiveness ever again. After our talk I Immediately gave thanks to God.
     
    In other news..........I got the paperwork to file the claim against "Jag off" I will drop off the paperwork at the courthouse tomorrow, and within the month we will go to court. It was 34 bucks to file (including the paperwork) I also got some free legal advice, from our Blogger friend Michael, and also a local person here. Sounds like a slam dunk case. I will find out if my unemployment gets re instated by end of next week. It should and I am learning some good puter skills in my classes. My Birthday is coming up and I asked the fam to just send me money to tide me over til some income comes my way.
    On a almost last note.................Crocodile hunter dead today after being stung by a stingray? Maybe the stingrays were feeling jealous of all the gator love he was giving?
    Lastly...........I bought "Fatal Attraction" on VHS for a buck and watched it for the second time in 15 years. I would think after watching that movie that there wouldn't be another married man with his dick caught out of his pants with anyone other than his wife, ever again? Dang Glenn Close played a wacko in that one,
    well now onto todays old funny..........................
     
    A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the
    Trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde.
    *
    "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the
    Lawyer.
    *
    Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just
    Loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into the..."
    *
    "I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer
    The question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm
    Fine!'?"
    *
    Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was
    Driving down the road...."
    *
    The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish
    The fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway
    Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after
    The accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a
    Fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the
    Question."
    *
    By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said
    To the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite
    Mule, Bessie".
    *
    Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just
    Loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her
    Down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign
    And smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and
    Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting, real bad and didn't
    Want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning.
    I knew she was in terrible shape
    Just by her groans.
    *
    Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He
    Could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he
    Looked at her, and saw her fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot< BR>Her between the eyes.
    *
    Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at
    Me, and said, "How are you feeling?"
    *
    "Now what the hell would you say?

    Therapy Thursday

    Well finally have a moment to update. To save time I am copying my notes from a website i moderate. I have added and deleted to make sense to my blog buddies here.
     
    August 26th- Thanks for the love my friends, The clarity candle must have helped (friend), as I am quite firm now in my decision to adopt the 2 boys. Seems crazy in that I have no income coming in right now, but I feel it is my duty and my pleasure to take those 2 on. I will go in today and do the paperwork, then by Tuesday I should be able to take them to the vet for all the stuff, by next Friday they should be with me, if all goes well. Please keep sending them love and healing thru this process.
     
     
     
    Aug 26th-Well I did the adoption papers on the 2 boys today, its approved. they looked much better today and had a purr fest when I told them I was adopting them and bringing them home early next week. I held each of them in my lap and told them how wonderful the rest of their life is gonna be, The poor mama is still sneezing and runny eyes, she does not look good, I feel so bad that I can't take her too.Please continue to send healing and love to them all thru next Friday, as they still have the vet to contend with on Tuesday and friday the neutering, but they'll be in my care tuesday. ty
     
    Aug 29th- Baby Luv luv and Beautiful boy are home now. They do not have leukemia or aides but are on meds forr upper respiratory illness. Please send healing to them and that it doesn't spread. They are checking out every square inch of the room they are in, they are eatting good, playful but sneezing and wheezing. The vet recommended LLysine? anyone heard of it? I will get some at Kmart today or tomorrow. I gave em meds for earmites, worms and fleas, an all in one product. No vaccines were given today as they are too sick, so keep them in yer prayers for fast healing, and keep the mommy in yer prayers for healing and a home, thanks, hugs,
     
     
    Aug 29th- Both luv luvs are playing with toy mice, I bought a humidifyer and am running it in their room. Smart kitties walk right up to where the air comes out and sniff. Both have good appetites and are frisky and loveeing. Tige hissed at me for a bit and hid under the couch. Then when i put on a video he came and sat at the under end of the couch and hissed at me. Then he got next to me and started purring, then hissed at me and now he's hidden again. Oce is calmly tracking my movements and is a bit aloof, but once i pet him his purrs kick in. Keep these lov luvs all 4 of them in yer healing thoughts and the mama. Thanks fam, hugs, Kat
     
     
    Aug 30th- Anyone know about LLysine? Can't find it yet in cap sule form, she recommends it for their immunity building and quicker healing. I sucked on a vicks throat lozanger this a.m and breathed it in their face, to help open up their nasal passages, seems to have helped. Beautiful boy didn't eat his meat this morning, cuz I think his nose is too clogged to smell, little sister though grubbed regardless. They are eatting up all the love and kisses, Tige was off n on grumpy last night, for the most part he's handling it like a champ, as Is Oce. Please continue to send love and healing their way and soothing to Oce and Tige. and home for the Mommie. Thanks, kiss
     
     
    Aug 30th- Someone suggestion some feliway pheramones spray to calm Tige, I had some and tried it, to no avail, however Valarian root does, I rub it on me and Oce and he then quits hissing at us and becomes friendly. My concern right now is the poor breathing of these two luv luvs, I have tried Vicks, just putting it near their nose, not on, breathing chloraseptic in their face from my breathe. I have tried that saline for babies at 2 stores and c annot find it, off to another one..............keep them in your prayers. Please
     
    Aug 30th- K went to 3 stores to find what I needed, I got the LLysene capsules to put in their meat for their immune system, read 3 books on homeopathic meds for cats and no one mentioned it, maybe my new vet is ah ead of her time? Also got the little noses and it made an immediate improvement on baby luv, luv, not so much as for Beauty boy.....................Unfortunately the improvement is not long term apparent.
     
    So theres the past weeks updates on the kitty situation. I am doing all I can for these two, and yes turns out the smaller one is a female, not a male, so I have 3 males and a female. I Have asked family to send me money or checks or money orders for my Bday next month, with no income coming in, and unemployment happeneing (Not sure) and all the unplanned kitty expenditures, things are tight. I still have to do the small claims case on jag off...........I am attending computer classes thru a WIA program that goes toward extending my benefits. I have done 2 , 4 hour classes and learned bunches in both, that I didn't already know. As to the job search stuff?  yeah right, I have been wholly focused on this cat situation for 2 weeks plus. Now we hav mom sleeping at all hours of the day again and hallucinating again and not eatting.
     
    So needless to say, thanks for the props you all out there in bloggarrittaville. Sometimes thats what gets one thru the day, that and alot of praying and faith. Thanks Mikey for the good advice on my case, preciate it. K I shall be by to visit over the next few days to everyone,  hugs, Kat
     
     
    and now for todays old funny..........................
     
    A woman called a  local hospital. "Hello. Could you connect me to the person
    who  gives information about patients. I'd like to find out if a  family
    member  is doing better."
     
    The voice on the  other end said, "What is the patient's name and room 
    number?"
     
    "Sarah  Finkel, room 302."
     
    "I'll  connect you with the  nursing station."
     
    "3-A  Nursing Station. How can I help  You?"
     
    "I'd like  to know the condition of Sarah Finkel in room  302."
     
    "Are you a family  member?"
     
    "Yes, Yes I  am.."
     
    "Hold on..  let me look at her records...Mrs. Finkel is doing very well In
    fact,  she's had two full meals, her blood pressure is fine She is to  be taken
    off  the heart monitor in a couple of hours and,  if she continues this
    improvement, looks like Dr. Cohen  is going to send her home very  soon!"
     
    The woman said,  "What a relief! Oh, that's fantastic... that's wonderful 
    news!"
     
    The nurse said,  "From your enthusiasm, I take it you are a sister or perhaps
    an  aunt..?"
     
    "Neither! I'm Sarah Finkel in  302!.. and NOBODY here ever tells me  shit!!"

    Emotionally Fried Friday

    Thanks for the supportive comments. And yes MiKey, i need legal advice, since my damn lawyer can't return my calls.
    This kitty situation has me crying and depressed most of the time. I have gone to the shelter to see them  A couple times and it rips my heart out.
    I went in to see them today and they were moved to the sick room. At first they weren't gonna let me see them, but the guy who was there when I brought them in, let me in. They are sneezing and the eyes running on two of them,(The one I took on Monday wasn't looking badly) but they've always had that, it just seems worse now. I noticed they had a fan blowing right on them yesterday. I got down and pet them and the one I was thinking of adopting was purring and rubbing on me and kissing my face, the mama was sneezing all over but she grubbed down the treats I brought them. The other baby boy just layed in his spot. after washing up and going to each of the kitty cages in the regular room and giving each of them some love. I left in tears again. Crying off n on all day again. I called my vet and asked how much it would be to bring the 2 brothers in and have them tested for aids/leukemia, then if they don't have that, get their shots and get them neutered. About 350.00 total. I have 850.00 available on my vet card so I could do it. I called the shelter and asked if they are getting any medicine, they are getting oral and eye meds daily for most causes of uppper respiratory problems. I am going back tomorrow and filling out the application to adopt them next week. The vet needs 2 days notice before I bring them in. I cannot leave them there and just watch them get more and more sick, cuz theres no hope. I have no income coming in right now, but I'll do what I can for these kitties, I took them there and discombobulated their world, Its on me now to fix it. I wish I could take the mama, but thats just not do-able. I have talked to Tige and Ocea bout it. This will be a fiasco for them too, but Its just tearing me up every day, they can't be adopted in the sick room, from there its either get better and go back in the main room , or be put down. In fact the guy told me today that the mama and her boy were on the list to be put down today, the being sick is what saved them? I do know that lately my desicion skills seem to be not so wise after the fact, so I wanted the weekend to think it thru. My application wouldn't be decided on til Monday. Please all of you send healing and love to these 3 kitties thru the next week, and pray that i make the right decision for all of us this time. And I could use some healing myself, I have cryed more than i thought possible the past week, and no relief in sight yet. Namaste
    Sorry no humor today........................

    Mad as Hell Monday

    I am unemployed again as of today. The dad called and told me they can no longer afford my services. he is also trying to get out of the severence pay of 2 weeks.

    3 hours later....................The as*hole only paid me 1/3 of what he owes, claiming he can't afford the rest and all the time I spent with the cats there was his reason to justify it. Clearly this jag off is in trouble and figured I'd be an easy cut off. I wouldn't argue with him as he wasn't seeing reason and he had his fiance there to be his balls (since he has none). Clearly the money he was paying me, she is eager to get to , to buy more important things like furniture etc and of course to spend on the upcoming nuptials next month. I told him he would see me in small claims court if I don't have the remaining 600.00 owed by Next monday and that he would be charged a 25.00 dollar a day late fee for every day late it is. Also he would incur the cost of me having to go to court to get it, mine and his.
    I did go out and catch one more of the kitties, the one I prefered of all of them and took it with me to the shelter and reunited him with his mom and brother. I dropped off my application and resume at that time too. The 3 kitties were all snuggleing a purring together when I left. So in my heart of hearts I did what was most important, which was saved 3 of the 6 kitties.

    3 hours later...............I am still amazed at peoples capacities to totally bullshit themselves about who they are and whats important to them. This father is a push over to anyone and everyone and I worked with him on standing up for himself and not play the victim anymore, so who does he choose to f*ck over? Muah, not the Mother who f*cked with him and the daughters for the past 4 years. Not the Fiance who is leached onto him and his property and his money now, and got a brand new car out of him, yet still hasn't sold her own home. Won't file charges on the younger daughter for Defamation of charactor and false allegations.......no he goes for me. I have never been "sue" happy, I will take this sonofab*tch to court though just on principal (if I can afford it) 
    All I can stand by is that I was put there for the poor kitties and was able to save half of them.
    I never asked for mileage on my car for all the driving I did picking up those girls from school, or taking them to town, The car maintenence for driving up and down those crappy roads, all of which we talked about, but I never got around to, becouse I wanted to be fair. When his b*tch had the nerve to tell me that technically all the time I spent with the kitties could be deducted from my hourly rate, to where I would probably end up owing him, is when I walked out. Plus the all the food and such I spent on the cats and the dog, I never asked for reimbursement. All this teaches me is that next time, get the money up front, before you even make the contract, and yes I truly believe I am done working with the human race to better it. I'll deal with the animals, where hearts and intentions and spirit is pure.

    So theres my ranting for the day, at least to you all

    Thanks for those of you who helped me reconnect with a couple spacers I missed
    I'll be over to see you soon Kat...........And now for todays old funny............

     

    A market researcher called at a house and
    his knock was answered by a young woman
    with three small children running around her.
    He asked her if she minded replying to his
    questions and when she agreed, he asked
    her if she knew his company, Cheeseborough-
    Ponds.  When she said no, he mentioned that
    among their many products was Vaseline and
    she certainly knew of that product.
     
    When asked if she used it, the answer was,
    "Yes, we use it when we have sexual intercourse."
     
    The interviewer was amazed.  He said, "I always
    ask that question because everyone uses our
    product and they always say they use it for the
    child's bicycle chain, or the gate hinge or some
    other purpose; but I know that most people really
    use it for sexual intercourse, they just don't like
    to say so.  Since you've been so frank, could you
    tell me exactly how you use it?"
     
    "We put it on the doorknob to keep the kids out."

    p.s I tiried to post a pic of a kitty flipping someone off, here to express my feelings toward that family but of course msn chose to not work properly at that time so.............use yer imaginations.............
