Booooooo!!!

I know i just posted an entry earlier this morning or was it last night? I can't remember, that's not good when i can't remember. I think I'll blame it on lack of sleep. Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I just wanted to update to say to those who celebrate, happy Halloween! To those like myself who celebrate Samhain, I hope you have a blessed one. I've got lots to do this morning in preparation for tonight's festivities. Stay safe everyone and if you are in the colder places bundle up and be sure your little ghosts and gobblins stay warm as well. If you adults are planning to party and you are sighted, don't drink and drive, arive alive. To my blind friends, don't drink and cane, or don't drink and dog. :D.

Ok, I'm off but before I do, I leave you with a couple of quizzes.

First a couple of Halloween quizzes. Fun fun!

You Should Be a Pirate for Halloween

You simply have to have the most unique, elaborate, and amazing costume.
You tend to hop from party to event, making sure everyone checks you out.

Costume suggestions: A geisha, samurai, fairy, or pirate

Signature Halloween candy: Skittles

Scary movie you should celebrate Halloween with: The Shining





And one more Halloween quiz.

You Should Be a Vampire for Halloween

You are charming and even a bit seductive. People are inexplicably drawn to you.
When you get dressed up for Halloween, you really don't have to give it much thought. The right idea just seems to come to you.

You are powerful and alluring. You like to play hard to get... you always lave people wanting more.
You are a dangerous person, and that's part of your appeal. Others know they should stay away from you, but they just can't help themselves.





One that isn't Halloween.

You Are the Counselor Friend

When times are tough, you are the one that your friends turn to. You are constantly putting out fires and solving problems.
You are a compassionate listener and a rational advice giver. Your friends know that you will put their interests first.

You enjoy being there for others, and counseling your friends gives you a sense of purpose. You like to make a difference.
At times, you may feel like your relationships are a bit one sided. You need at least one friend who can be there for you the way you're there for others.





Have a great day all.

Lily
Hello readers.

Looking back I realize that it has been forever it seems since i have last posted anything here in this thing, well here I

am. I swore that I'd post more this year and so far I have failed spectacularly in doing so. Bad Lily, no Twix bar! :D. Next

year, no promises.

So what's been going on in the life and times of Lily? I HAVE BEEN SOOOOOOOOOOO BORED!!! I have bene out of work for the past

two weeks due to the fact that I had surgery on the 14th of October. Not a lot of people knew about it as I didn't tell many

at all what was going on. Due to the nature of said surgery I'm not going in to details but if you want to know just find me

and ask on facebook or twitter. Some of you already know the situation. I have one more week off and then I can go back to

work, I will be so glad to be back there. The healing hasn't been too bad, hardly any pain and I haven't been doing anything

I am not supposed to be doing. It's hard for me to just sit around as it's not me. I need to be busy and I haven't been able

to do a lot which makes me feel almost useless. I have very good friends who have been here to help with things that I

shouldn't be doing such as lifting anything over fifteen pounds and they were cooking and cleaning for me as they told me not

to be on my feet for any length of time. It's been getting better although I still can't lift things over fifteen pounds for

another three weeks. At least I'm starting to feel like I'm not helpless anymore. I'm thankful for my friends who were here

to help me and if they ever need me I'm here.

This Friday I got talked in to hosting a Halloween party. I'm all to happy to do so as I love a good party. Originally Paul

was supposed to have it at his house but the party apparently got too big for his apartment and since I just moved into a

bigger one he asked if I wouldn't mind having it at my place, so here I am trying to get things ready for about 10-15 people

to invade my home. The party will start at about 7:00 PM and we request that everyone come in costume. Dressing up isn't

required however, we just thought it would be fun. i'm going as a vampire as I don't have the enegy to go and hunt down a new

costume. I already have what I need for that costume. I suppose I could go as a witch but how boring, LOL! Besides I'm a

witch every day of the year, or is that a bitch. It depends on who you ask I suppose. :P. If all goes right, I will be

broadcasting the party or at least part of it that night, it will be fun!! I'll try and update that day and let you all know

if I am and where to tune in if you want to hear it.

Alright, I'm tired so I will continue this when I am more awake. For now, good night lads and lassies. Sláinte.

8:31 AM 10/29/2014

Top o' the mornin to ya.

Last night's sleep was horrible. I kept waking up off and on because I'd either be too hot or too cold. Ugh! Can't they allow

us to control our own heat in this building? I hate the fact that they control that for you. Hello! Not all of us are needing

the temps up to level hell to stay warm! I get that the elderly in here need those temps but at least they could allow us to

have our own temp controls. Ah well, what do you do, can't do anything about it except to accept things as they are. That or

find a new place to move to and i'm in no position to do that at this point in my life. I'd like to eventually find a house

but houses around here are hella expensive and I am unable to aford the rent for one at this time. Even if you had a roommate

you still couldn't do it. So ok, I live in a college town, you'd think because of the college kids things would be a bit more

afordable but no, they aren't. Most of what to do here is go to bars, we have a ton of those and let's be honest, who would

want to do that every night? I certainly don't. One day I will find a place to go that is afordable. There are afordable

houses in St. Peter which is the next town over from me and in New Ulm which is about 30 minutes away but i'd have to give up

my job and I don't want to do that either. I could look for a new job but i love my job and don't wish to leave it. So time

to be thankful that I do have a roof over my head and deal with things as they are. Why? Cause that's just how I roll. :D.

I am no longer on Sky106. Due to circumstances beyond my control, no internet for a bit and my surgery i couldnt' remain

there broadcasting. I wish them luck and I know they will continue to do well. I did have fun while I was there but i guess

the timing just wasn't right for me to be there. It wasn't meant to be. I am still on Phoennix Fire FM and will be soon

starting on Xtransmission FM. You can find me on Phoenix fire FM on Saturday nights with the 90s rewind from 9 PM eastern to

midnight. Jerry and I were supposed to be doing Club Phoenix on Wednesdays but neither one of us has done one, I think that

needs to change. LOL! Then I will be starting on Xtransmission FM on Friday nights from 8 PM eastern to 11 PM eastern. My

show on there is going to be called Women of Song. I will play music only from female singers and female fronted bands. I

will play music from all genres. i know this may piss off some people but I really want to do this and I'm sorry if I hurt

anyone's feelings by doing this show. I don't understand why more than one person can't do the same type of show. I see know

reason for anyone to get upset over this but I know they will and again I apologize but i'm going forward with it. I'm not

going to be scared off from doing this again like I was before. I will let you all know when this show will begin, it could

be as early as this coming Friday night.

Well, got to go and get some breakfast into me before I begin my day. I've got a couple of appointments and will write more

when I can. I'm not ready to submit this entry just yet. With that, I'll write more later. In the words of my friend Mike,

"Be careless, take chances!" Sláinte!

7:11 PM 10/30/2014

So here I sit watching The Big Bang Theory. This show never ceases to amuse me. I do believe this show is pretty awesome and

it will be a sad day for a lot of us if the day comes that it ends. Of course it's my luck that everytime i love a show it

goes off the air sooner or later, usually it's sooner than later. My least favorite character is Bernedette. She just strikes

me as being too full of herself and very bossy. She's too winey as well. My favorite character is Raj, he always has a line

or two that makes me laugh.

I just watched an episode of The Golden Girls that made me kind of sad. It was the one where Dorothy scratches a lottery ticket and wins ten thousand dollars. Blanch had this beat up aviator leather jacket that she had just bought. The girls donated some old clothes and such to a thrift store. Well before hand, Blanch put the winning ticket in one of the pockets of her jacket. Sophia not realizing that the jacket was Blanch's gave the jacket to the man who came to pick up the donations. Dorothy, Rose, Blanch and Sophia went all over chasing after the coat. They ended up finally at a homeless shelter where the jacket was going to end up. While there the four girls met some of the people staying there. They told the girls some of their stories which made me sad. One woman who knew Sophia was there and she told her the reason she was there was because the money ran out. The woman had been staying at a home for elderly and after the money ran out she had no where else to go so she ended up at the shelter. This other person there had it all it seemed but he turned alcoholic and ended up there. This guy was a grad student and had gotten his degree in medicine or something like that. After turning to alcohol he lost his place to live and had no one to help him. It makes me sad when people end up at shelters when they dont' have a choice but when you do have a choice it just upsets me as in makes me angry. At any rate my point in bringing this up is the show made me think. Y'know we spend a lot of our lives complaining about how we don't have enough and how we wish we had this and that just because someone else has it and we want it. It begs me to ask the question, why can't we just be happy and thankful for what we've got? Wel we all may not be rich or have everything we want in life but a lot of us at least have a roof over our heads, we've got food on our tables and don't have to wonder where our next meal is coming from, we've got hot water to take showers, some of us have pets that we love and are able to take care of them properly, we've got clothes on our backs even though they may not be the brand names and the best of the best, we've got shoes on our feet that fit right, some of us are lucky enough to have jobs, we've got beds to sleep in every night with clean sheets, we don't have to stay out in the cold or rain or the elements and much more. For all of this I am thankful. It makes me wish I could help all in need and i know that I can't. So instead of wenging because some one else may have more than you've got, just be thankful for what you do have because someone else is out there tonight in the cold trying to survive. They dont' have anything but the clothes on their backs and you are in a warm safe place with know worries. Just be happy and thank whom ever you need to that you are ok and that you have what you need, you may not have what you want, but you have what you need.
Sorry, I sometimes go on tangents like this when something affects me so deeply. Thank you for all that I have and that I am blessed with.


Jaysus! Sigh. Conservative Christian Rewrites Harry Potter So Her Kids Won’t Turn Into Witches

http://aattp.org/conservative-christian-rewrote-harry-potter-so-her-kids-wont-turn-into-witches/

Um...erm...o.k? First off let me just say I am not one to judge a person because of their religion, if you are christian more

power to you. I personally think however this is a bit overboard. Let me just say, YOU CAN'T TURN INTO A WITCH JUST BY

READING THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS, HELLO!!!! It sounds to me like this woman doesn't have a clue herself. She is so busy being

stuck in her closed minded ways that she herself is misguided. As I have said before, it's the parents

responsibility to teach their children reality from fantasy. Harry Potter is totaly fantasy, any smart person knows this. No offense meant to anyone.

And if the snippets in the article aren't enough, the full thing is still available here. https://t.co/qIlsXD5T4l

Ok, I'm done rambling. I've got loads to do tomorrow before the Halloween/Samhain party so I'm off to the land of pillows, blankets and dreams. I hope all of those little trick or treaters are ok out there tomorrow night, it's supposed to be colder than a witch's...well you get the picture. Good night to all who read this thing.

2:25 PM 8/16/2014

So before I get to the fun stuff I have a rant. i don't like ranting in fun entries but this just has me so fecking hacked off that I just had to write. You can skip it if you want but just ugh!

Since I moved into my current apartment my refridgerator has been acting up. It's been loud when it runs and had eventually started leaking water fromthe the icebox into the bottom part of the unit. I had put in a few work orders explaining what was going on. Finally they came to look at it and atempted to fix it. The reason I say atempted to fix it is because it worked right for a bit but now the thing is totally dead. I'm not sure when it went out but now everything in there is thawed out and it's all warm. Now I have to go through it all and decide what is still good and what is not. I'm going to end up getting rid of most of it because a lot of it is parishable. That's a lot of money in groceries that I now have to toss into the rubbish bin and it annoys me. I have a decision to make, to buy groceries or to pay rent. I was going to pay rent but now i need to speak with the office on Monday to see if they will be ok with me paying them on the 29th instead of now. I suppose if they say no then I can go to the food pantry and get a few things but they don't give you much when you are just one person in the household. I wish I had a ton of money then I wouldn't worry about it. What I don't understand is why they just didn't replace the stupid thing in the first place. I mean it's obvious that the thing was going to go out, you could just tell by listening to it. *throws hands up in frustration*.

Ok, rant over.

I had mentioned my hard drive failing last night when I posted from my IPhone, I have a bit of an update on that situation. The hard drive in question is a two TB drive and so far Flint has been able to recover 500 gigs of my data. this is a great start and I'm hoping that by the time he is finished he wil have been able to recover almost if not all of it. I do understand he may not be able to recover all but anything is better than none of it. I have made the decision to set up a raid so that hopefully I can prevent this from happening again. I hope to be up and broadcasting again very soon.

I'm very sad that True Blood is ending. Tomorrow night will be the second to the last episode and I think partly I'm glad as this season has just been sort of blah. I do have to admit though that I have bene left with a few cliff hangers and my thoughts have been oh man do I have to wait till next week? Ah well, I'll just have to find something else to watch on Sunday nights. :D. Be ready for an entry about the ending as I'm sure I will have a few thoughts on it.

Now to something more fun...

A week ago today I had a birthday. I had the best weekend hanging out with friends!!!
On the 8th, Dusty and Helene came over and spent the weekend. That night the three of us along with Flint and Cassi all went to Baker's Square for dinner. If you have one of those where you live I suggest you go eat there if you have not done so before. They have excellent food not to mention pie. If you don't have one where you reside I recommend you going on a vacation and eating at one of those places. Flint paid for my dinner as a birthday gift wich was really cool. I didn't eat any pie as I was so fully from dinner.
After dinner we all went over to Wal-mart for some shopping. I bought a couple of fans for my house so that I don't have to use the AC constantly. One of them goes in the living room window and the other just sits on my dresser in my bedroom, they work really well. I'm extremely happy with my choice as far as fans go. I got a few other things as well but can't remember everything I bought. We spent about 4 hours there, hard to believe but we did. By the time we left for home we were all exhausted.
While there, Helene got a necklace that was a broken heart. One half of the heart says best and the other says friends, she gave me the half that says friends and she kept the part that says best. I thought that was so awesome. I to this day still where it around my neck. For my birthday she also gave me a ring made out of a spoon. It's the coolest! The ring has a smiley face on it with it's tongue sticking out. She said if you don't like it we have others you can choose from. I was like oh no I love smiley faces and i where that as well on my middle finger. Thanks again Helene, you are one of the best. You and Dusty both, I love you guys.
On Saturday night, the 9th of August was my actual birthday. That morning after a very short sleep I might add, Helene got up and made us all breakfast. She made turkey bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and toast with cinnamon sugar butter on it. It was so yummy, very good. Then we all hung out for a bit at my flat and later on the evening got ready to go sing karaoke at Dutler's Bowling Alley. Rene and Mary couldn't be there due to other things going on but that's alright. I did miss them there but sometimes life happens. Flint, Cassi, Helene, Dusty, Doug, Jason, Tami and Kevin were all there wich was great. Gina, I wish you could have bene there sis, it would have been so fun. Helene and I did I Hate Myself For Loving You by Joan Jet and the BlackHearts, I then did These Boots Were Made For Walkin by Nancy Sinatra, Helene did Cindy Lauper's Time After Time, I thought she might have done another but I can't remember, forgive me Helene my brain's on vacation I think. Flint sang a couple songs as well, he did Elton John's Tiny Dancer and John Mayer Daughters. Jason and I were going to do Whisky Lullaby but he began fading so had to head for home. Next time we will sing together. Jason has an awesome singing voice and I think it would be really fun to sing with him. No one else sang but that's ok, I'm happy they were all there with me.
During the night of karaoke, there was a huge interruption that actually shut the place down. Aparently there was a guy there who had brought in a hatchet. At first it was thought by Cassi and Helene that it was a pool cue they had heard breaking in half but it was actually the hatchet breaking a chair. A bar fight had broken out. Six cops came rushing in and three of them tackled the guy to the ground and proceeded to taze him. Surprisingly the guy didn't yell while said tazers were hitting him, I would have been had it been me. We don't have any idea what started the fight and quite frankly I don't care but when tazers are going off you know it's time to get the feck out of dodge. LOL! That's exactly what we did too.
Sunday the 10th was a short day for us to hang out. Dusty, Helene and I went to Pet CO so Helene could find a harness for Theo her cat. She did find it and a retractible leash as well. I need to ask her how that is working out for her and the cat. I found some greenies and some different cat food for Ozzy and Luna to try and they loved the food. I always knew they loved greenies but I don't get them to often because they are hella expensive. After finishing there we stopped at Wendy's to grab some lunch on the way bact to my apartment. Shortly after we got back Helene's mother came and picked up the two friends of mine staying at my house. I wish they could have stayed longer but they had to get back.
Thank you all for a most fun weekend, it's the best weekend I have had in a long time,.
I ended the weekend by watching True Blood and crashing shortly after it was over. I was so exhausted that I was out pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillows.

I saw this on one of my facebook friend's facebook and I just had to steal...I mean borrow it to share here. I was amused and since I was always taught to share, here you go.

this goes out to all the beer drinkers everywhere

The Beer Prayer

Our Lager,
Which art in barrels
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
I will be drunk,
At home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head
and forgive us our spillages
as we forgive those that spill against us
and lead us not into incarceration.
But deliver us from hang-overs,
for thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager
forever and ever

Barmen!

Well, I think that's all for now. I'm going to end this and go finish the day at work. Yes I know it's a Saturday and I'm sitting here at work. LOL! The reason for this is that we have about 35 international studentss coming in and Jason asked me if I wouldn't mind coming in and working in the office for a while just in case they needed someone to contact through out the day. I don't mind really, it means extra pay on the paycheck for next pay period. Score!!! Righteous! Awesome! Word! Ok, I'm done. LOL!

Bye bye for now, have a great rest of your weekend.

When a person loses the one they love, they feel all kinds of things. Anger, sadness, guilt, helplessness, alone, lost and finally acceptance. I have probably missed some emotions but there the ones that are most prominent I think.

Due to the nature of this entry I will be leaving out all names to protect the privacy of the friend who I am writing about. Some of you who may read this know her but most will probably not. It's only right though I believe to keep names out of it, at least some names. The woman I will be refering to, I'll just call her Camille, the man in question I will call him Tommy.

Yesterday Camille had something very tragic happen in her life. I suppose I should start a bit from the beginning though.
Camille met Tommy and had started dating. They were together for about two years and seemed to all who knew them to be very happy. As time went by the relationship between the two became strained. Camille would confide to her friends that while she loved Tommy she was not in love with him and on a few occasions tried to end things with him but always ended up taking him back. Tommy loved Camille with all of his heart and we believe wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Camille was afraid to leave Tommy for good however because he had congestive heart failure and she was frightened that he could die at any time and she didn't want him to be alone for that. One of the other reasons and perhaps the worst is that Tommy told her that he would take his own life as he did not want to and could not live without her. Please dont' get me wrong, living with congestive heart failure has to be hell but to threaten to commit suicide just isn't right. My guess is and i don't know this for sure but it seems to me that Camille felt she had to stay with him no matter what because of the suicide talk. Well, this past week everything came crashing down for Camille. Now, just so you all know, Camille is a friend of mine and i knew Tommy as well. I didn't know him well but I had met him a couple of times and something just didn't seem right to me but I'm not one to judge and I was happy if Camille was happy and she seemed to be whenever Tommy was around. The few times I did see Tommy he was always nice so that was cool. When I said something didn't seem right i meant right as in their relationship, not that I thought something wasnt' right with Tommy. I just had to clarify that. Now I won't go in to detail about what I know but I will say things got a bit heated between Camille and Tommy and things ended up to be not so great last week. They had a fight like all couples do and this time Camille had made the decision to break up with Tommy and this time make it permanent. Tommy gave her the same suicide threat and Camille took it as she always did, she never thought he was serious about it. She figured he never had done it before so why should she worry this time? Well, Camille did leave and she found out yesterday that this time he actually followed through with it. Tommy took his own life on Wednesday july 23 2014. Right now, Camille is feeling extremely guilty and feels that she is the cause of his death. We all are trying to get her to understand that it was not her fault and that there had to be other issues that no one knew about that caused him to do this. She also found out that at the time of his death he had been drinking and was pretty intoxicated. Tommy was not in his right mind, if he had been sober he never would have done something so permanent. That's how Camille sees it but she is having a very hard time with this. We have all been trying to help her and give her as much support as we can. We all love and care about her and don't want her to do anything stupid. All of us are pretty emotionally drained but we carry on to try and help Camille with this difficult time in her life. As soon as she gets over the guilt she can begin to grieve properly and she will understand this wasn't her fault.

I understand exactly how Camille feels. When I was about 17, I dated this guy who was a very nice guy. He was sweet, caring, funny, smart and just an all around great person. The problem was I was beginning to feel that I wasn't doing enough for him. I was feeling really overwhelmed and kind of smothered. I tried to talk to him on numerous occasions and asked him what exactly it was he wanted from me. I tried to tell him the way I was feeling and finally after about a year I ended things with him. A couple of days later, he was found in the bathroom on the floor with a bullet wound in his head and a gun laying right beside him. The sad thing about that was his sister was the one who found him and she was only 9 at the time. To this day, I hate guns. I know that it wasn't the gun's fault and that it was my ex boyfriend who decided to use the thing but I can't stand guns. I digress again. I know the guilt, I felt the same way that Camille does. I felt that it was my fault and it was because of me that he died. It took me many months to get past the fact that it was not my fault. Once I got over that I was finally able to grieve and think things through rationally. I realized that he did have other things going on and that he had a lot bothering him. There were other underlying issues that I wasn't even aware existed. Did i miss him afterwords? Yes, I missed him like crazy. I went through all of the what ifs and I should haves and if only i could haves, and Camille will too. In fact, she already is somewhat doing so.

My thoughts and prayers and all of the positive energies I can give are with Camille at this time of grief in her life. I pray that in time she can find happiness, peace and light in her time of darkness. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel and one day I hope she will see it. I understand she can't right now and that all seems hopeless but I know that she's a strong person and she will get through this with the help of all of her friends. As i said, we all love and care about her.

As for Tommy, i hope that he finds peace in the afterlife. He's now in the arms of the angels, may he find some comfort there. RIP my friend, you will be deeply missed.

Well it's late and work is on my agenda for tomorrow so I suppose I'd better end this for now and go have some P B and J, otherwise known as pillows, blankets and jammies. So off to the land of pillows, blankets and dreams I go. The 6:00 alarm goes off rather early. Good night and sweet dreams to all.

9:58 AM 7/28/2014

Here I am at work and I have a free moment so thought I'd try to finish this entry. Not sure if I'll get to but we'll see how far I get. I figured that if I wrote I wouldn't be so inclined to fall asleep at my desk like I feel like I'd like to do. Whoa! Too many likes in that one sentence. Man am I tired! I'm just exhausted from the weekend. I feel totally drained. Maybe an early night tonight if I can manage it. It may be a matter of forcing myself to manage it. For a Monday though here at Land To Air, it's kind of slow.

There are times I wish I could turn off my empathic senses. Everything that a person feels if I am aroundthem, I feel it like ten times more than what another person feels it. I know some of you may not understand that or may not even believe that is possible but it's truth. It's tough most times and on Saturday I did find myself havign to walk away for a bit just so I could get my own feelings in check. I really did not need Camille to see how bad I had gotten. Thing is, I don't know how to turn them off. I think I need to do some research and see if anyone else has gone through or is going through this same issue. I know that there are other empaths out there, I don't know of any where I'm from but I know that others exist. I'm wondering if they might have the same problem with not being able to turn off there senses as well and if not how they cope with it. I just can't keep distancing myself or keep walking away from situation because I don't know how to control my empathic senses, ugh. I know that walking away sometimes is a good thing because we all need to take care of ourselves as well as taking care of others. I do find though that meditation is a good way to deal with the after affects of having my emotions and feelings all over the place. I wonder if there have been books written about empathic senses and how to deal with them, I'll have to look that up as well. Anything that might help I'll appreciate finding.

On a much happier note, it would appear that my birthday this year is going to be a fun one! Normally I look at my birthday as just another day and I most likely will this year too but I have friends who have decided that I don't get to spend the day I was born alone. Helene, Dusty, Cassi, Rene, Mary, Paul, Tami, Doug and possibly Flint and I are going to go to Dutler's Bowling Alley not to bowl but to sing Karaoke, that and before hand I think we are going to go out for some dinner. Most of my friends going want to go mainly to hear me sing. There is even a chance that Jason, my boss will drop in. At least that's what i last heard. It would be cool if Flint could have Megan there too but that is not to be unfortunately. I really wish Gina could come be here to join in the fun as well, that would totally rock! I'd have most of my family with me. LOL! Gina, Helene, Dusty, Cassi, Paul, and Flint are like my siblings. Rene is like my mother and Mary my grandmother. Then Tami, Doug and if Crystal, Chris and Jerry could be here I'd have my close friends. both Rene and Mary think this is funny but both accept it. LOL! I asked Rene one day if she could adopt me and she told me she would so adopt me if she could. So, she became my honorary mother and Mary my honorary grandmother. I can't remember why I asked her that, like I don't remember the full conversation. I thik it was when we were talking about her kids and how she let them experience life and even though they weren't always so good like kids aren't, i figured she was a pretty great mom. Anyway, we were all amused by it and now it's sort of a running joke between Rene, Mary and myself.
There is someone special that I wish could be at my little birthday gathering as well, someone who I really like and I know likes me as well. That would make my birthday awesome! Ah well, one day we will meet in person, that will be a very awesome day indeed. I may give more details about this person in another entry, I don't believe in hiding my feelings but I want to see how and where this is going to go before I give too many details. August 9 should be a fun night indeed.

I'm so exhausted, I almost feel as if I'm rambling just to stay awake. I feel as if I could sleep from now until Yule or possibly St. Patrick's Day. LOL! Tonight I will try and meditate before sleeping and hopefully I can get some much needed rest. It's pretty bad when I can't even keep my eyes open here at work. Eep!

After work, Flint is going to come over and we are going to make turkey burgers. I tried to get him to eat a veggie burger but he wants nothing to do with them. He totally hates vegetables wich is pretty sad. I love my veggies. Yesterday while he was at my house I made a smoothie. This smoothie had Chabani greek yogurt, spinach, a banana, some strawberries, some orange juice and some chia seed. It was extremely tasty. Flitn thought it look so gross because the spinach turns it green. The thing is once you add the fruit and the juice you don't even taste the spinach at all. They are just wonderful and good for you. I offered to make Flint one minus the spinach but he still wouldn't take it because it was home made and not from a smoothie shop. Blah. Aye well, his loss. :D.

Today I will probably be working till 4:30, normally i'm off at 3:00 but Deborah is on vacation for two weeks so I won't get to see her. Oh well, this just means I get an extra hour and a half pay, I'll take it.

I can't believe True Blood is ending after this season. I have bene watching it faithfully and I don't really know what I think of this season. Honestly it's a bit disappointing. Tara's dead so that already makes it not the same. There are a few favorite characters of mine that are gone and it's just weird. Eric, Bill and Sookie all have Hep V wich was created by Sarah Nuelund and a bunch of other scientists and it kills vampires. Sookie isn't a vampire obviously but she still has it, that we found out last night. Sorry, I can't spell Sarah's last name, Nuelund or Newlund or whatever it's supposed to be. LOL! I don't like her either way. I'd so love to see Sookie and Eric get back together, they were so cute together. I think though that if Sookie were going to get back with anyone it would be Bill. He was her first love and she told Jason last night that you never forget your first so I have a feeling that would be who she'd choose. If it were up to me though...oh yes, eric, oh yes. You big bad vampire god you. :D. LOL! ok, I'm over it.

Well I truly have nothing more to write about so I'm going to end this and post it. Take care all who read this thing and I'll write again soon, I think. Sláinte.

May your joys be as deep as the oceans, your troubles as light as its foam. And may you find sweet peace of mind, wherever you may roam.

Lily The Leprechaun
Well, I will say a good afternoon as currently that's what it is here.

First I'd like to wish you all a belated happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it. To those who don't, I hope you had fun with family and friends. I hope you all ate lots of chocolate and got full with whatever it was you decided to eat for the day.
I didn't do much at all for Easter. I hung with friends which was fun, I always have fun hanging out with my friends though. We didn't have Easter dinner or anything like that but since it was way too nice to spend indoors, we hung out outdoors in the Gazebo just talking and whatnot. Cassi made me almost cry because she told me that I am like a sister to her. I was like, "Oh yay! I got sister status!" That made me feel really good. She told me that she'd do anything for me and I told her that I felt the same way. It's so nice to have friends like that. Now I just wish I could get all my sisters together and hang out. Yay for friends who are like sisters!

For those of you who I may not have told, I know that I told some of you, my friend Mary has cancer and is not doing well at all. right now they have her on an extended hospice. She is getting worse. She seems to be getting weaker and weaker by the day. I saw her the day before yesterday and it nearly killed me to see her in such a state. You can hear in her voice that she is just really sick. She doesn't like to talk about it though and I can totally understand it. If I were in her shoes I wouldn't want to talk about it all the time either. When Mary is around we joke and laugh as much as possible. Mary still has a great sense of humor and it's so good to hear her laugh. Rene was talking to Mary and Mary told her that her blood pressure is so high that it could be anytime that she has a stroke or something like that. Usually when Mary is outside with us she can sit with us for a while but Sunday she couldn't handle it for very long at all. I felt as if I were going to burst into tears at any moment but I wasn't going to while she was down with us, I simply refused. I didn't nor do I ever want her to see me cry because of my sadness over her. Before she left to go back indoors she gave me a big hug and said, "my good girl, my good girl, so sweet. Don't ever change." That was my undoing. I held the tears in until Rene walked her inside to make shure she was going to make it back to her apartment. As i sit here writing this now I feel like crying just thinking about it. Mary is one of the most kind, sweet, funny fun people I've ever met and it is unfair that she is being taken away from her family and friends. Cassi and I just lost it and when Rene came back out she lost it too. Rene and I hugged and she kept telling me it was going to be all right. I'm not sure who she was trying to convince, herself or me. We both know that it isn't going to be all right, well it will be but it won't. The good thing is that Mary will be in a much better place than she is now. She won't suffer anymore from the cancer.
I have lost so many to cancer and I'm not sure that they are any closer to finding a cure for it. I hope one day that they do find a cure because this disease is the most horrible. Jim, my father, my cousin and now I will lose Mary. I lost friends when I was too young to fully understand cancer, I had friends die from lukemia, just kids in the first grade and in kindergarten. It's so unfair, just not fair. Even if they don't find a cure in my life time, I really hope they do.

I got a raise! I got a raise! Yep, you read that correctly, I! GOT! A! FRIGGIN! 25! CENT! RAISE!
My boss told us that he put in for raises for everyone and that the drivers were the only ones to get approved for one, they got one last year as well and the office workers did not. It was really disappointing but Barb and I just dealt with it instead of complaining because let's face it, what could we do, right? Well this time Jason decided to just give us one even though corporate didn't approve it. I'm wondering if he did it because of the minimum wage going up. I don't care why, I'm just happy he did it. It doesn't seem like much I know but I'm thankful for it. I just hope that he doesn't get into trouble with them. He just wants us to all be equals I think. He's such an awesome boss.

I don't understand why people have to be so homophobic. You can't help who you fall in love with and as long as you are happy, why should others care. It's not like a gay/lesbian/bisexual is going to hit on a straight person. Ok, I take that back. Some may to have a bit of fun but if the person says, "Hey I don't mind your lifestyle but I'm not into all that," fine, we accept that and understand. I have fun hitting on Cassi all the time but she takes it so well and some times she will flirt back. Thing is I know she's straight and I respect her for that. She respects me for being bi so why shouldn't I? Not everyone thinks the way I do though, i understand this. I just feel there should be a lot more acceptance and less judgement. My co-worker says "but it says this and says that in the bible." I know what it says in the bible but if God loves all of his children why would he pass jusgement on the people who are gay/lesbian/bi? After all were we all not created in his image?

I got this from @ThoughtCatalog on twitter. They are worth the follow, trust me. I know, famous last words but trust me.
This article made me feel so sad and at the same time it made me want to throw things. This mother ticked me off soooo bad. The idiocy of some parents never ceases to piss me off. I won't tell you what it said but if you do decide to read it you'll see what I mean. It does have a happy ending though, it's just getting through the stuff before it.

Hell Literally Exists http://tcat.tc/1h8cWZT http://t.co/DZJbtsl7xF

I miss broadcasting sooo badly. I'm hoping I can get my SPL set up soon so that I can grace the airwaves with my presence once again. I have applied at another station and will be happy to test soon to see if i make it on there. I won't reveal which station I have applied at for the moment, if I get accepted I will let you all know. I know some of you already know but the rest don't. :D. I will still be around my old stations as well but am addign a new one or at least hoping to add a new one. Wish me luck, I really want to make it on there.

Well, I am going to end this entry and get ready to do the end of day stuff at work. Barb and I are hoping to be out of here by 4:30 today and if we have anything to say about it, we will be.

I'll write again soon, I think. Oh and for those of you that were reading my Harry Potter fanfic, no I have not given up on it. I am working on another chapter and hope to have it posted soon. I'm not abandoning it, I swear.

2:12 PM 2/17/2014

Well hello.

First, I just wanted to wish everyone a late happy Valentine's day. Hopefully it was everything you all hoped for and more.

For those who didn't have a sweetheart like myself, hoping you spent it with a friend or two. I don't see why we need a day

for people to express their love. I mean shouldn't that be done everyday? Why does there have to be one designated day for

it? And another thing, why did they pick a character running around in a diaper and shooting arrows to represent this day? I

wouldn't want a toddler looking dude to chase me and shoott arrows at me, that's just nuts! No, I'm not bitter about the

holiday, just curious. haha! Talking about Valentine's day brings a song to mind. "Cupid, draw back your bow and let your

arrow go, straight to my lover's heart for me." Oh, another one comes to mind as well. "Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me.:

haha! that one's actually a fun one. I'm going to cover that one. I don't know, I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not supposed

to but at any rate...next topic?

Alright, going to eat my yogurt and then I'm going to get ready to get off work so I'll return in a while. Got some things

to do right after I'm off so it'll be a bit before I work on this entry again. Bye for now.

10:24 AM 2/18/2014

Yep, so it's a whole new day. I ended up getting busy yesterday and did not have the time to work on this entry. Well, that

and I sort of kind of forgot about it. Happens I suppose. So here I sit back at work writing again. The phones are slow today

which is ok because it gives us a bit of a break. Ron, one of our retired drivers came in and brought us coffee at Jason's

request. In his words, "Ask Ron if he can come and bring us some good coffee, the coffee i made tastes like swamp piss." I

wasn't going to ask him how he knows what swamp piss tastes like. I don't want to know. LOL! Nah, Jason's awesome. I couldn't

have asked for a better boss. He's fun.

1:12 AM 2/23/2014

So as you can see I'm still working on this bloody entry. By the time I actually get finished with it, it will be hella long.

OH well, let's see how many of you stay with me and read it. :P.

Alright, I haven't done one of these silly little quizzes for ages and forever so here ya go.

You Are a Kitten

You are playful and sweet, but you also treasure your alone time.
You're pretty independent, and you resent anyone trying to tell you what to do.

You don't get bored easily. You are quite good at entertaining yourself.
Deep down, you are quite sensitive and intuitive. You are less standoffish than you seem.





Song lyrics I relate to.

Ruin Me
By: Shiloh

Drawings of a happy place
Pictures of a joyful face
The reality of the hell I've made
All I ever had slowly desecrate

And I look out my window
Not thinking of my mistakes
Everything is all good
What else can I create to ruin me

Porcelain dolls on a dirty shelf
The memory of my old self
All the things I've done to make it worse
The impulsive mind that completes my curse

And I look out my window
Not thinking of my mistakes
Everything is all good
What else can I create to ruin me

Picture frames with no photographs
I don't ever think of the after math
Don't know why I hurt, all the ones I love
All this pain I caused, fits me like a glove

And I look out my window
Not thinking of my mistakes
Everything is all good
What else can I create
A confused mind, a broken soul
Good or bad, I'm not one of those
A confused mind, a broken soul
Good or bad, I'm not one of those

I look out my window
In the face of my mistakes
Everything has gone bad
What else can I create to ruin me
To ruin me... can't let this ruin me

When I heard this song, it brought me to tears. I couldn't help but think it's exactly how I feel at times. It sums

everything up in so many words. I don't know who Shiloh is but i'd like to cover her song. We'll see if i can get through it

without crying. If i can't then oh well, it's just a part of me I suppose. Brings meaning to my singing. I'm pretty sure that

Flint can replicate the piano playing, he's good at that sort of thing. I'm not one for listening to songs on repeat unless

I'm depressed but this one I did. Thank you to Shiloh whoever you are for writing such a beautiful and heartfelt song.

I'm not always feeling so messed up. Sometimes I feel my life is meaningless and I know it isn't. I have so many things to be

thankful for. First and foremost I'm still breathing. With out breath, there's no life and I still have that so for that I am

grateful. I have friends, a home, two cats who love me, a job, money to pay bills so I can keep said home, family, and so

much more. Why I feel this way at times I don't know. Being diagnosed as I was just bites. These days my good days out number

the bad days. For that, I am thankful. It's hard at times to put exactly into words how I am feeling. People ask me what's

wrong all the time and I don't know how to answer. At times the only way to express my feelings is by tears and that's when

I'm alone so no one can see me cry. I paste on a fake smile just so that people won't think there's something wrong. I'm

really good at pretending that nothing's wrong, sad how I can act like I'm happy even when I'm not inside.

On a much happier note, it's finally the season I have bene waiting all winter for, Spring has finally sprung! Today we are

supposed to get up to 76 degrees and that's just a beautiful thing. For the past little while it has been in the fifties and

sixties and I'll take that too. I'm hoping that it stays this way now and doesn't go back to winter. We had a hard winter

this year. It was cold and snowy, it seemed to go on forever. I'm thinking that is why I had been so down for a lot of the

winter. I always charished the days that the sun came out even though the sun and I don't get along. I'm much rather have the

sun than the cold snow and ice, it makes for a hard landscape to travel.

9:32 AM 4/10/2014

Back again today to see if I can't finish this entry. I have a habbit of working on entries for days and either not finishing

them or just deciding that I don't like how they turned out, so they don't get posted.

Recently I have bene seriously thinking of getting a guide dog again. I don't think I ever really stoped considering it but

it has been more now then it was. Jason says that if I go to guide dog school that I'd still have a job when I got back so

I'm not worried about that at all. One of my worries is that my youngest cat, Luna seems to have something against dogs. I

know this because my friend Will will sometimes bring his dog up to my apartment and Luna flips out. She hisses and spits and

just generally becomes a total bitch for lack of a better word. I wouldn't want her to hurt my dog if I bring one home and

I'm scared she might. I also know there's the possibility that she will get used to the dog and eventually leave the dog be.

I feel as if I have to make a choice between Luna and a guide dog. I refuse to give up Luna so I guess my question is, do I

chance getting a dog and hope that she'll get used to him/her or do I forget it and wait till I no long her Luna? Ozzy I'm

not worried about, I know he'd be fine with a dog in the house. I've been wanting to go and get a dog for years now.

12:11 PM 4/14/2014

Well, let's see if i can finish this thing today, shall we?

Here are some links that either angered me or amused me. You can read if interested.

This one both angers me and makes me sick at the same time. How could someone do this?

Usualy I'm against parents invading their child or in this case teen's privacy but in this cdase, i'm so happy she did. I now

see things in a different light ever since reading this article.

Utah mom may have saved her teenage son's life by monitoring his Facebook page http://cbsn.ws/1lMvZjQ

You make threats like this, you deserve whatever punishment you get!!! How friggin stupid can you be? You idiot! After the

events of 9/11 how could anyone even thing of pulling a prank like this? In the article it said the girl is scared, well she

should be! Dumb, idiotic, moronic...ugh! Obviously she has no brain, anyone with half a brain would know you shouldn't do

things like that and expect to get away with it. You will get caught every time. I hope your punishment was worth your little

joke. Of course the thing is, she probably will get no more than a slap on the wrist. She may have to do a bit of community

service or something like that simply because of her age. If it were me, I'd send her to prison just so she can see what it's

like to be in one, maybe it would change her straight. I'm done with this topic. My blood's boiling and it needs to quit

that.

My job's still going really well. I still love it here and the people are still nice and fun to hang out with.
This summer I will be taking a second job. My duties will still be the same as they are at Land To Air but instead of

reservations and Grey Hound stuff I'll be making appointments for people to get their computers fixed. This work too will be

fun as I will be working for a friend of mine. Not sure what else he will have me do along with answering phones but it's

exciting nonetheless. The only thing I hope is that I don't get work burn out. LOL! Nah, it'll be fine. I can't wait.

This Wednesday I will be going out with a couple of friends to Diamond Joes. Diamond Joe's is a casino in Iowa and I keep

saying I'm going to win big. I will have a set limit however and when that's gone I'm done. I'm not going to go all crazy like i could because it's just not worth all that. My friends from my apartment complex, Cassi, Rene and Sue have all decided like I did. It will be fun to hang with the girls. I wish Mary could come with us but She's just too weak and it saddens me that she feels like that. We don't know how much longer she has and I would just love for her to be able to get out and do something. I understand what cancer can do to a person though, I remember what Jim dealt with and how he felt. It certainly takes a toll on one's body. So, here's my mantra if you will, I'm gonna win big for Mary. Anyway, i have won at Mystic Lake, not anything huge but I did ok. there was once I went and lost, blah. My friends Doug and Terry from work will also be going as well. This time I'm not canceling to work. LOL! The last two times I have tried to do this I ended up working.

Well, I suppose, this entry's long enough so I'm going to get it posted. Ha! I finished it today, I knew i could.

I finally allowed the tears to fall. Tears that I had tried to hold back because I kept trying to convince myself that you weren't worth them. I tried to tell myself that I was just fine and that it didn't matter that you had done what you did. We were not together anymore so why should it matter, right? Oh yes, I know, I know everything. I was sad and hurt at first after we had decided what we had decided, but then after I found out what you had done and everything you you did it all turned into anger. So my tears were tears of anger, not tears of sadness or because I was in pain. I don't think you will ever understand how I felt after I found out. I could never have done something like that to you, especially after you told me how much you loved me and cared for me. I truly doubt now that you meant everything you had told me. I mean if you had waited a month, 2 months it wouldn't have hurt so bad but not even 48 hours after? Come on! I have been a mess ever since i was told of what you had done. I suppose this is why I have bene a bit distant with you. There are times now that I feel that maybe i'm not relationship material and that I'll end up single for the rest of my natural born life. Maybe that would be for the best. No chance of me hurting anyone and no chance for my heart to get shattered again. Who knows. I may not have bene everything you wanted/needed but I did love you, that I still can do, love. Anymore love I may have felt for you is totally gone. I may still be able to be friends but I'll never forget what you did, how my feelings were shattered into a million little shards after I learned what happened between you and her. I wasn't going to write about this at all but it's one of the only ways for me to get my feelings out. Writing's my therapy. I was afraid that if I spoke to you in voice, my anger would come out too much and I might have said something I may have regreted later. I did not use names in this portion of my entry, I don't have to because you know who you are if in fact you read this at all. I'll be around if you want/find the need to talk. Please, if we do talk about it, don't say anything just to placate me because I'm not that stupid. I'm not one who can be placated. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine too but I do ask that I be given time, time to think and reflect. You have to admit how bad that looks even if it wasn't your intent.

3:48 PM 1/20/2014

It was the Patriots VS the Broncos, Seattle VS the 49ers. I wanted to see the Patriots go to the Super Bowl but it was not to be. They were beat by the Broncos 26/16. They just couldn't get it together enough to win it this year. Oh well, there's always next year. As for who I wanted to win between Seattle and the 49ers? I wasn't sure who I wanted to win. Seattle won it and so now it's the Broncos and Seattle at the Super Bowl. I'm going to cheer on the Broncos. There will be a Super Bowl party at my house. Just because my New Years party ended up being a flop doesn't mean my Super Bowl party will be. It could be fun. I am a bit disappointed that I won't have the Patriots to cheer on though. :D. I asked Flint if he'd like to come to the party and he laughed at me because he hates sports all together. I told him, "I know you don't like football but you can just come for the food and company." Not sure if he'll join me or not but we'll see.

1:50 PM 1/21/2014

Another day, another dollar. Yep, I'm at work currently as I was yesterday when I started writing this. i'm beginning to wonder if I'll finish it anytime soon. :D. Anyhow, my job's still fun, still love it at Land To Air. Not a lot to report from that part of my life. I work four days aweek now, three out of the for are from 8:00 to 5:00 PM. One of my favorite drivers retired this past weekend. The cool thing is, he's still around because Jason will have him doing small things around the office such as errands and things of that nature and not driving the shuttles any longer. He was done with that part of his job. Personally, I'm glad he will still be around because he's really nice and funny too. He once laughed at me when I called him a dirty old man. LOL!

I am emotionally, physically and mentally tired. I really need another vacation. Maybe I'll go visit Michigan or Texas or Mass or ND. Hey, it could be fun. IL would be fun as well. So many places I know people. :P. As long as I'm welcome, I'd love to go see friends and family.

I'm tired of the winter season already, hopefully spring will be here soon. Our weather person, Mark Tarello has this to say, "WARM WEATHER LOVERS: It's 56 days until the official start of Spring!" I hope he's right, I can't wait for one of my absolute most favorite season to return. I miss the birds, the warmer weather, the spring air and it's scents. I sooo can't wait! I have two new pairs of shoes I can't wear because it's winter and they would not do well in the snow. One pair is a black pair that is kind of like a shoe/boot. that's the best way to describe it. The other is a pair of white tennis shoes but are really cool, made by Airwalk, these shoes are going to be sooo comfortable. I love my Airwalks! I'm not really into brand name clothes/shoes but I do have a thing for Airwalks. I guess it's because of the funky colors they come in at times. LOL! Right now I have like 6 pairs of Airwalks, all different looking. What can I say, I'm just a different type of woman.

11:27 AM 1/23/2014

Yesterday I went in search of a new winter coat. I didn't find one which sucks but nothing to be done for it. Everyone seems to be low on winter supplies. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't gone from Mankato to Minneapolis. I decided that because we had made the trip all that way I'd look for new jeans and some new shirts. I found both jeans and shirts so I was all excited about that. I got one pair of black jeans and a pair of dark blue. I found two hoodies, one purple and one sky blue. The I got a red fleese shirt. Let's see, I got a black sweater that is really really super soft and warm. I got another shirt that is a plum collor and it's soft and warm as well. The last thing I found was a new sleep shirt wich is red. While shopping, I felt like a doll and someone was playing dress up with me. I kept getting passed clothes and the person saying, here, try this on. Thank you Deborah. LOL! Trish went with us and she said she had fun, I hope she really did. She ended up buying some bracelets and I thought she said a necklace. I'm not 100 percent sure about the necklace but I thought she said that was one of the things she had gotten. On the way there we stopped at Holiday so Deborah coudle get gas and I got some breakfast. We then went to Mcdonalds drive through so that Trish could get her breakfast. Deborah said she should have gotten breakfast at Holiday but Trish wasn't interested. Had I known we were going to end up at McDonalds, I'd have gone there too. LOL! Like I said, fun day yesterday. Oh and everything I bought was on clearance, so that was awesome. I didn't buy anything I didn't need, what I got I needed.

Cassie and I are looking to get a town house together. There are things going on at our current location that we don't agree with and the gossip is horrible. Way too much he said/she said stuff for our liking. It will be fun! Cassie and I get along well and we know that we both can afford to go halves on rent and bills. I'll be looking, that is unless I move to Ireland like i've been asked if I like to do. That would be ok too, it would be a new start, new beginnings. I'm still weighing my options though. I have a lot to consider when making this huge decision.

Well, I don't have too much more to say so going to go ahead and end this and post it. I'll write again at some point in time.

This entry was meant in no way to anger, upset, hurt, piss off, annoy, or any other emotion you can think of. Just sayin.

Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away from here.
Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away from here.
Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away from here.

I am so livid right now. Words can't even begin to express the way I'm feeling at this very moment.

Very very angry! Tears. RT @NBCPhiladelphia: Reward offered to find person(s) who set a kitten on fire: http://t.co/h3z9M676y5

Who could be so cruel as to set a little defenseless kitten on fire like that? Bloody bastard! The good news is, the kitten is still alive and is expected to recover but still. That does not excuse what the blank blankity blank blank did. Stupid, rotten, dunderheaded, good-for-nothing, low-life, hateful, spiteful, maggett eating, arse itch infested, Looser arse, pathetic piece of dirt! You are worthless! You are so worthless that you aren't even worth the dirt on the bottom of my shoes. *growl*. I can't even think. So what, did it make you feel like a big man/woman to hurt a poor animal like you did? Did it make you feel good? Did it give you great pleasure to watch the little kitten burn? I hope they find you. I hope they find you and throw you in jail and throw away the key. Then I hope that once you are there, you will get a taste of the horrors and torture you will more than likely endure while there. I hope you live with what you have done for the rest of your days here on earth. I hope that everytime you close your eyes you see that little tortured kitten and that it bothers you to the point of no sleep. I hope your nightmares are filled with kitten screams and that you are haunted till you die. Finally I hope on the day of judgement you will pay for harming one of God's creatures. Lord please forgive me for wishing this upon this cruel person, but I can't stand animal cruelty!

This one as well...

Ugh! People make me sick! RT @CBSNews: Abandoned newborn found crying on Hawaii beach http://t.co/Sm1bKc2qlI

This world is full of stupid people. If the child wasn't wanted, take it to a hospital where they can and will find a good home for it. There are many people who are wanting to have children and can't for one reason or another. Why not let someone adopt it who will love it as if it were their own. Luckily the newborn is doing well and not harmed at all. this makes me wonder if the person who abandoned the baby was a teen girl who didn't know what to do and got scared. Part of me wonders if it was a family who was poor and couldn't take care of the child properly. Either way, if you didn't want the child, take it to a hospital or the police station and they will help with finding it a home or whatever it is they do. No one is going to judge you for not being able to care for the baby and you end up having to give it up. Do it in the proper manner though. Don't leave it abandoned on a beach naked! I don't know, I shakes my head. It's all I can do right now.

IA woman facing charges, accused of falsely claiming to have cancer.... http://fb.me/2BXBvCu7Y

Y'know? Doing something like this is just asking for sister Karma to come and visit your doorstep. If for some reason this woman does end up getting cancer one day, people are not going to care because of her actions. As most of you know if not all, I lost someone very very special to me to that horrid disease and to joke about having it? That just irks me to know end. I loved and still do love Jim with all of my being. Cancer is not a joke you moron! It's serious shite and I hope that you don't end up with it but in the event that you do, well call it karma.

It seems like all I ever read is bad news these days. I read twitter and what do I read? bad news. I turn on the television and what do I see? More bad news. I turn on the radio and what do I hear? Still more bad news. It gets very depressing and I have a hard enough time with depression. I like to stay informed about what's going on in the world but it's getting to the point where I just don't even want to know anymore. just sayin. Whatever happened to the days where things were a lot better in the world than they are now. I'm not saying things were perfect, I know it was far from it actually. There used to be days where you could turn on the TV or turn on the radio and you would hear things, but never to this degree. I miss the days at times when I was a little girl and ignorance was bliss. Sure I always kept my guard up, i always have but things were not as bad then as they are now. Too much killing and war. Too much cruelty to animals and to each other. When will it end? When will the people of the world see that things shouldn't be this way. Maybe i'm crazy to think this way but I strongly believe that people can see what they are doing if they stop to think. If parents wouldn't teach their children to hate, to be racist, to have a closed mind, things would be better off. I could go on forever about this but I won't. All I will say is that it saddens me to my core. My heart hurts, it aches for the world. We are destroying it slowly with our never ending violence and hatred. I can't wait to go home, to be away from all of the troubles of this place. It's not my time now I know but I still can't wait.

On another note...

I found this article interesting. It's worth the read if you are interested.

Change Your Sleep Position relieve pain, acid reflux, snoring and more. http://www.bottomlinepublications.com/content/article/health-a-healing/change-your-sleep-position MT @JohnnyJet @LeoLaporte

The week before last I went to Pet Co and got Ozzy a window seat. I tried to get him a cat tree which basically is a very very tall scratching post that goes from floor to ceiling. There are different levels that the cat can lounge upon. I put catnip on the different levels daily but he wanted no part of it. So, since he wasn't going to have anything to do with this post, I got him a window perch. At first he acted as if this was going to be an epic fail as well but after Deboarh left he decided to give it another chance. Now if I wish to locate him all I have to do is go over to the window perch and there he is, laying there like he hasn't a care in the world. I thought too that he'd see that as his place to sleep now and not my bed but last night he did join me like usual. That made me happy. I like to listen to him purr before i drift off, it's very comforting to have him there. i love my Ozzy cat no doubt about it. No matter how much I complain that he wakes me up too bloody early in the morning, i'm glad to have him in my life. Yes a human companion would be nice but if I don't or can't have that, at least I've got my awesome four-legged feline to keep me company.

I haven't forgotten the long awaited entry. I'm still going to post it but as it stands at the moment, that entry has been put on hold for a bit. I still need to finish writing it. Just as soon as I do, believe me, the world will know. I think my side of things should be heard so it will be posted, this I can promise you.

This past Wednesday, I went to a place called Indigo Organic. That is one of the most peaceful places I have ever been in I think. The reason for my visit was to get my hair cut. No, I didn't cut it short, I just got all of my split ends cut off. My hair looks much healthier now thanks to them. It's amazing! First, they did the trim and then they gave me a head massage with oils. The oils are to help treat your hair. She gave me three different cents to choose from and the one I picked was sort of a sweeter cent. The other ones were a minty one and I don't really know what the third one was, it smelled like household cleaners. Not a good thing to have in my hair, just sayin. During the head/scalp massage I almost fell asleep. Any more time spent on that I do believe i would have . AS it was, I started drifting off. I couldn't help it, it felt so wonderful. I could so get used to that. The stylest who's name was Heidi then washed my hair and put some treatment stuff in it. That stuff smelled minty. The treatment had to stay in for about five minutes. After the time was up, she conditioned it and put some leave-in stuff in it. It made my hair very soft and shiney. She then styled it putting these huge curls in it. Everyone who saw it loved it. I was wishing I had had somewhere else to go after I was done there. Everything Heidi used was organic. It was amazing and I have made the decision to go there for my hair cuts all the time now. They are a little bit more expensive then what I normally do but they are well worth it.

Something exciting has happened yesterday!

Cheers loudly! RT @lgbtqnation: BREAKING: Minn. to become 12th state to legalize same-sex marriage - http://t.co/khcw4MoL8M

While at work yesterday, I was able to listen to part of the senate meeting. A lot of what was brought up was the religious factor in this arguement for same-sex marriages. Now, I think that everyone has his or her own beliefs and whether or not same-sex marriages are legalized does not affect the way you believe. Ok, I totally get that now you have the moral dilemma to provide services to same-sex couples but here's how I think. The reason that you think it's wrong is because it is what you are taught. We can't help who we fall in love with, it's just part of who we are. We aren't trying to convert you to be gay or lesbian or bisexual. All we'd like is understanding. Yes we may think a straight person is cute or whatever but knowing you are straight, we aren't going to hit on you. *smiles*. I know in the Bible it does say that marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman but what about those of us who aren't into the opposite sex? Do we not have the right to be happy as well? God loves all of his children and I can't imagine that he'd condemn us to a life of hell just because we choose to be with the same sex. We don't choose to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual. We don't wake up one morning and go, "oh hey, I think I'll be attracted to the same sex today." No, we are born this way. It's like how you who are straight can't help being straight. It's in your makeup. We accept you, now please show us the same courtesy of accepting who we are.
I am very happy that Minnesota became the twelth state to legalize gay marriage. Yay!

Well, i have made this long enough. I will leave you now with these final words.

Mischief managed.

My Holidays

Jan. 1st, 2013 08:12 pm
I realized that I didn't post my Thanksgiving entry, so I shall do so now. I know that it has passed but I started to write it and I have the right to post it. LOL! I will place it behind a cut though so if you don't care you don't have to read it. :P.

Thanksgiving )

Xmas )

That was pretty much Thanksgiving and Xmas, now on to new years.

New years was spent at home. It was decided we wouldn't go out because it was supposed to be so cold and the windchills were supposed to be around -20 or -30 below zero. i don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being out in that freezing weather. So, after work we went to Cub and picked up some snacks and the boys went and bought the alcohol. I didn't drink as much as I did last year, man that was one nasty hangover the next day. I swore to not let myself get that drunk again, and I haven't to this day.
Mike ended up going to bed before midnight because he was not feeling well. I was on Team Talk With Doug and I'd like to thank him for sitting with me because i wasn't sure how bad things were going to be between Mike and Flint's drunkenness. i did end up drinking a bit more than I wanted but i only got buzzed, not drunk.
Dinner was Pizza Ranch, they have some awesome food!

This brings me to today! I'd like to say, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We've made it to 2013!
In light of it being the first of January I'd like to share my New years resolutions with you all.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS...

First and foremost, I'd like to find peace, the peace that i know resides within myself. The trouble is, I'm not sure how to obtain it anymore. I used to but too much has happened and I just don't know how. No matter what and no matter how I will find it again, I must find it again.
This to me is the most important new years resolution I can make and stick with. I believe some of the others in my list will tie into finding that inner peace I desperately want to find.

1. Eat healthier
2. Start singing again
3. Drink more water because I don't drink near enough
4. No more pop
5. Get back into writing my poetry
6. Finish writing an entire fanfic
7. Start working on my novel.
8. Save money.
9. Get a dog
10. Visit my family more especially now that i have the means to do so
11. Write in my journal more often even if it's just to say high and i'm still alive
12. Be a better friend to others by being around more than I have been
13. Meditate more
14. Become more intuned to my surroundings, nature
15. I will not take things so personally
16. I will laugh when I can, cry when I feel it's warranted, forgive those who have wronged me, find the strength to accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can.
Last but not least, I will live. I will live unless the Goddess says time to go.

I know this seems like a lot but these are things i need to do for myself. I have felt like I have bene off balance for a long time now and I need to get that back. When I feel balanced, i feel better. I'm much happier and much better to be around.

Some of you may not understand my resolutions and I know some of you will, I know those that do will be there to help guide and encourage me when things seem like I'm getting off course. For those who are, I deeply thank you in advance, I am most grateful to you.

I don't ever make these things as I have a very tough time sticking to them, however this year will be different, I know it will because this year I am extremely determined and nothing and i mean nothing will stand in my way.

I hope you all had a very happy New year and may 2013 be your year!

"So mote it be!"

<3Love and hugs to all<3

Xmas Eve

Dec. 24th, 2012 11:40 pm
Good eveing to all.

I'd just like to wish you and yours a very Merry Xmas if you celebrate it.
This Xmas eve was a pretty good one. Mike and i were invited to go over to Flint's parents house to celebrate with them. We had some pretty good food which was enjoyed by all. We had stuffing, potatoes, corn, sandwiches which consisted of either chicken or turkey, or in the case of Flint's father bar-b-q pork, and wine if we wanted it. I didn't take any wine because I wasn't sure what kind it was and I really wasn't in the mood for alcohol tonight. There was also dessert but we were all so full from the dinner that none of us had any of it.
After dinner, it was time to open presents. I really didn't expect his parents to get anything for myself or Mike but they did. Mike got a book which I can't remember the title of and some candy, and I got a pair of slippers and some candy. I was happy because i needed new slippers. The slippers are purple with Xmas ornaments on them. I don't mind this, I will wear them till I can't anymore, they are nice and warm. In fact I have them on now. LOL! The candy both Mike and I got was Andy Mints. I love those things! They are one of my favorite candies. There is just something about chocolate and mint together, it rules.
Ozzy even got a present from Caitlin and Satin, they are Flint's paretns cats. I thought that was soooo cute. They got him a can of his favorite catfood, Fancy Feast chicken and gravy.
All in all, it was a cool Xmas eve. The best part of all? The tenseness from Thanksgiving wasn't there.

My family from how i understand it did not get together this year. With everything that went on with my uncle Marty being sick with cancer and then passing away, my mother just wasn't ready. I totally understand this. I too lost someone to cancer in 2004 but most of you know this. The last time i talked to her on the phone she was going to go and visit Chris and Mike separately to deliver gifts and then go spend Xmas eve with my grandmother. She said she was going to go spend Xmas day with my Grandmother as well. I will be calling everyone to say Merry Xmas in the morning.
As for myself and the other two nuts that live in this house, we are going to have Xmas dinner at McDonalds. We thought that would just be so funny. Oh how easily amused we are. They are apparently going to go work on the house in the morning and then we shall go after.

Just a random, I wish to be in Ireland.

To my family,

I missed you all this year and hope that as soon as we can we can pick a weekend to get together and catch up on things and I can give gifts to the nieces and nephew. I love you all.

To the rest of you reading this, I hope tomorrow is a happy Xmas for you and that good times are had by all with families and loved ones.

Until next time...
<3Love and hugs<3

Moment of Silence for Sandy Hook Victims on Dec. 21


Hi friends and readers.

I wanted to post the badge in honor of the Sandy Hook Elementary victims who losts their lives on December 14, 2012. I still can't make any sense out of this tragedy. i have read many articles and still nothing can make this make any sense to me. It probably never will but at least "he who doesn't deserve to be be named" can never harm another innocent.

Tomorrow marks a week and in honor of this, there is going to be a national moment of silence at 9:30 for the angels who are gone to soon. RIP, may you all rest in peace now, you are gone but not forgotten by those who knew and loved you all. I didn't know any of you but my heart still goes out to you and your families.

To send sympathy cards, the school address is:

Sandy Hook Elementary School
12 Dickenson Drive
Sandy Hook, CT 06482

I plan to send one.

On a different note...

I wil be so bloody glad when the holidays are over. Work has been soooo nuts for the past few weeks, well ever since before Thanksgiving. My question is, why can't people make their travel plans ahead of time? Most of the time passengers wait till the last minute and then expect there to be room on our shuttles. Sorry, that doesn't work people! Hello! Yesterday, I got a call from someone who wanted to travel on our 9:00 AM shuttle and when I told her it was full, she wined and sounded really childish. I was like, really? In my head I was like, "if you wish to travel at the time you requested, make reservations earlier." Ugh! Luckily, we had a passenger cancel so we could let her ride. Next time people, make reservations sooner!

Well I suppose, not much more to say at moment. Everyone have a great evening and if the world ends before i write again, just know i loved you all. Ok, so I don't truely believe the world's going to end. LOL! Anyway, until next time...

<3Hugs and love to all<3

There are just no words that I can say to make what happened yesterday ok because it's not.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families that lost their lives in yesterday's school shooting, the second worst school shooting in history. I'm sad and angry.
I have bene following the news and updates on the horrific event. When I first heard about it yesterday I was stunned. All i could think was, "Why" and "How" could this have happened. How could someone go and target little children as 20-year-old Adam Lanza did. I don't understand it. The investigators say that they are still looking for a motive. In my mind there is nothing, absolutely nothing that excuses this. Twenty children and six adults were killed. What was going through his mind as he entered that school?
i love how people always tend to blame the fact that a person was mentally disturbed. He was not well, he was not in his right mind. i'm sorry but you can't honestly tell me that he had no clue about what he was doing. The man had 4 weapons on him when he went to the elementary school. It's still unclear as to exactly how many he brought in with him when he forced his way in. I saw some reports that say he had three and some say two. Then I heard there were six guns in total he had access to so I'm really unsure of the count. It saddens and sickens me to my very core. My heart aches for the familyies and the victims. Those kids will never have the chance to go to highschool, go to the prom, go to college, get married, have there own children, they will never celebrate another holiday or anything that life had in store for them. The children were six and seven years old. Afther shooting twenty children and six adults, he turned the gun on himself if reports are true. What a coward! Anyone who does a mass shooting and then turns the gun on himself is a bloody coward in my eyes! Face the consequences for what you've done! I really wish the police could have gotten to him before he killed himself, I'd have loved for his victims and their families to have justice. I know one day he will be judged and he will get what he deserves, i truely believe that.
I'm not sure what will make people stop the madness. I really don't think tougher gun laws will do the trick because if someone wants to kill, they will think of other ways. Not only guns can kill but other things as well. Besides as someone once told me, it's not the guns that kill, it's the weilder behind the weapon.

The names of the victims and their ages were released and I'm going to post them now, youngest to oldest. I think that it needs to be seen. While reading, if everyone would take just a moment of silence for each of the victims i think that would be nice. I myself shall do the same.

Victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting:

Benjamin Wheeler
Avielle Richman

Nancy Lanza

Nancy Lanza was the mother of Adam Lanza. She was not at the school but I felt she needed to be recognized as well. He Shot and killed her before going to the school. I don't have her age or it would have been on there as well.

I will be doing a show in honor of this tragic event. i'll let you all know of the details on twitter so watch my timeline if you are interested in listening. Just trying to get all of my articles and such that I want to refer back to.

Sorry for the depressing entry but I think we all sometimes need to reflect on things.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!!

i just wanted to write and say a very happy Thanksgiving to you all. For now, I'm too emotionally drained to write a more up-to-date entry, so for now that's all I wish to say.

Lily
Good eveing,

First i'd like to wish everyone a very happy and safe Halloween/Samhain. I know it seems a bit late but it's better late than never right?

Tonight I'm not doing much of anything, just sitting here watching Twilight. I got the sudden urge to watch, not sure why. Maybe because it's Halloween/Samhain and the whole vampire thing. :P. Of course, i don't really need a reason to watch, i can do this anytime. I intend to watch all of them in a row just before I go to see Part2 of Breaking Dawn. It seems weird that it's almost over. First Harry Potter ends and now the Twilight saga will be ending soon. I have to ask the question, what series will be next?

Next, to those affected by hurricane Sandy I hope that you all are ok and if you have lost power, hopefully you will get it bakc soon. The weather over the past couple of years has me asking what's going on with it.

So I'm looking at going to Ohio over the Christmas Hols. My mother would like me to be there for New Years Eve and I think it will be fun. I haven't been to see her yet and it would make her day. :P. It will be good to see her again. I think the last time I saw her I was twelve. My aunt Darlene owns a bar and I believe that's where we will hang out for New Years. It will be good to see the rest of the family as well. I'm just sorry I didn't get the chance to see my Aunt Phyllis before she passed. My mother is lost without her.

Work's still going well. Bob Dauc is retiring in November. I'm not sure what i feel about this. I have written about him before and his stupid comments that he has made in the past. On the one hand i think I'll miss him a bit, he's been one of the constants since i started working at Land To Air. On the other hand, I won't because he is the only one who seems to care that I am blind and sometimes I work alone in the office. Most of the time the door stays locked when I'm in the office alone. That's more due to the fact that I still can't accept credit cards in person, I can cash because i have an app on my phone called Money Reader. That app is pretty awesome and is nine times out of ten accurate. I've never had an issue with it. Someone was supposed to write a program for me so I can run cards on my own, (I won't name names) *ahem ahem Flint* but he hasn't done so yet. I hope to get that soon as i wish to be able to do that part of my job on my own.

Well, i'm getting tired and work comes early in the morning. For now I'll bid you all a fond good night.

<3hugs and love<3

Lily
Hey all and welcome to fall!

It's time for crisp cool mornings and nights, falling leavs, the leaves changing color, pumpkins, hot apple cyder, bonfires, the autumn smells and halloween and in my case Samhain! I love fall!

Just a bit of a fun quiz before i get into the article.



You're Totally Sarcastic



You sarcastic? Never! You're as sweet as a baby bunny.

Seriously, though, you have a sharp tongue - and you aren't afraid to use it.

And if people are too wimpy to deal with your attitude, then too bad. So sad.




And this should surprise anyone why? I wasn't given the nick The queen of sarcasm for nothing. :P.

Ok, I'm not against christians at all, I in fact have a few friends that are christian and they are just as nice as can be. i just wanted to get that out there before someone came back and left nasty comments at me.

This article was taken from http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/books/harry-potter-banned-by-christian-school-20120824-24q7i.html

I'll give my comments after the article.

Harry Potter banned by Christian school

DateAugust 24, 2012

Alison Branley

Medowie Christian School has defended a decision to ban witches and warlocks from its annual book week parade and the Harry Potter series from the school library.

The school was one of many in the Hunter Valley that marked Book Week this week by asking children to dress up as their favourite book character for a parade.

Frankly, we do not want any of our younger students or their siblings feeling frightened, intimidated or uncomfortable during any school activities.

Principal Samantha Van de Mortel asked parents not to send children to school on Wednesday as witches and warlocks because it was inconsistent with school values.

She said it was a standing policy because the school felt it was not in line with its Christian ethos.

"We just don't believe that's something we want to promote. We promote a Christian focus," Ms Van de Mortel said.

She said the parade was a primary school event that was also open to students' younger siblings and they were concerned many retail costumes were quite gruesome.

"Frankly, we do not want any of our younger students or their siblings feeling frightened, intimidated or uncomfortable during any school activities," she said.

While witches, warlocks and Harry Potter characters were out at the Medowie school, the characters allowed in the parade included Anakin Skywalker, The Mad Hatter and the Gingerbread Man.

Ms Van de Mortel said the Harry Potter series, which is about witches and wizards, was not available in the school library because it had been the subject of many international debates.

It topped the list as the 10 Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century by the American Library Association.

"Medowie Christian School respects the right of parents to make decisions on whether or not to allow/encourage their child to read material," Ms Van de Mortel said.

"In respecting that right [we] do not stock books from the Harry Potter Series, or indeed other titles, which are the subject of polarising public discussion."

Medowie mother Bobbie Antonic, whose children do not attend the school, raised the issue on social networking site Twitter and said she was concerned it was censorship.

"I was just blown away by it. It's just bizarre," she said.
"Books are not reality."

Medowie Christian School Parents and Friends Association manager Lisa Taylor said from a parent's point of view the prohibition was "no big deal".

"In the lead up to Halloween the shops are full of so many grotesque, frightening costumes and I've got two little boys," she said. "It's supposed to be a celebration of literature."

She said parents were happy the school library did not send students home with books that could force a topic up for discussion.

"I would like to be able to make that choice for my own kids," Ms Taylor said.

End of article.

Would someone please enlighten me as to how a boy dressed in robes and a pointy wizard's hat looks scary? Or how does a girl dawning a robe and a witches pointy hat makes a child want to run away from her in terror? I can understand if they use green makeup or making a wizard or witch look ugly, but normal wizarding robes along with a black pointed hat is *not* frightening at all.
This is what the witches and wizards in the Harry Potter series look like. Just kids dressed in black robes and hats along with their house colors. Green ties for Slytherin, red for Gryffindor, blue for Raven claw and yellow for huffle puff. Then we have Professor Dumbledore who is a bit eccentric and dresses colorful but there again, still *not* scary looking. In fact he reminds me of Santa Claus. Are people going to say that a fat jolly old manthat dresses in red and white with a long white beard and hair is scary looking too?
The only way I can see a witch or wizard looking scary is if they dress as death eaters or Lord Voldemort who frightens me. Not because I find himn scary looking, but he's just plain ugly. Just sayin. I suppose Severus Snape could be considered scary looking as well, we won't go there...back on the the topic at hand... To a child I can see that being scary.
Dressing as Harry Potter himself however, not scary in the least. He's just a plain boy dressed in robes and a pointed hat with his house colors and a pair of glasses that look horrid, poor Harry and he rides a broom. Black messy hair and vivid green eyes, the color of emeralds. Does this sound freaky to you? No, I think not.

The problem with a lot of parents these days, and don't get upset because i'm not saying all parents is that they don't take the time to explain the difference between fantasy and reality. It is the responsibility of the parent to teach their children this, not schools and certainly not society. Yes they are going to read books, yes they are going to watch movies and yes they are going to learn things from their friends but it is then a parents job to teach the child right from wrong. Yes the parent has the right to tell their child yes you can read this book or no you can't read this book. If something goes against their beliefs then by all means don't let the child read the book. This brings me to my next point...
What happens to those who don't have the same beliefs? So we now have the issue of putting one persons beliefs over anothers. That's not right either. So it has come down to passifying one group but then pissing off another group. I believe that all beliefs should be taken into account, not just one group. It's not the schools right to take away someone elses beliefs just because they don't think it's right. I think that it's sad it has come to that.
IN closing, Yes there are parts of The Harry Potter series that are totally frightening, i don't disagree with that at all. I do agree with the school not wanint to frighten little children but what I disagree with is them taking the right away from the parents/children to express themself how they wish. As i said, the wizards/witches in the HP series are not scary looking at all with the acception of Voldie and the death munchers. Did anyone notice that they didn't say anything about the kids coming dressed up as vampires? Just sayin.

When I see things like that article it makes me angry. I don't believe they should ban Harry Potter, personally i think the reason they did is because they are afraid of the unknown. It doesn't go along with the christian values. Everyone knows that what goes on in the books isn't real. Being a wiccan I face the same things. No, we don't fly on brooms, no we don't have the ability to transfigure anyone into other things, we don't worship satan or any other thing that people are misguided about. WE do believe in magic but it's natural earth magic. I'll explain that some other time. This isn't really a discussion about wicca and it shouldn't have been brought up probably but I get worked up at times. My point was though that I believe that's why they banned the book. They associate it with witchcraft and they are misinformed about a lot of things.
Final question. Since when is it ok to take a child's right to imagination away? Think on that.

With that I leave you now. Being sick is not any kind of fun. Until next time...

<3hugs and love to all<3.

Greetings to all who read and folllow my writings.

Today I am very very livid, and I do mean livid. I post this on behalf of a very very good friend of mine.
To me, the treatment of his mother by the doctors and the people at the Scooter Store is less than adiquit and that's understating things, in fact it's appalling.
Here is the link for you to check out the page that Jerry did in honor of his mother. Please click and show them some support. For those who don't wish to check out the site, I'm posting an audio file for you to listen to if you are willing to do so.

Site For Jerry's Mom
To listen to the mp3 file Jerry has created click here.

Listen To Jerry Speak About His mother

I can't believe those who are supposed to care and help take care of you are so clueless. What happened to the patient knows his or her own body? It seems all some doctors care about these days is getting paid. People who are just in it for the money have absolutely no right to be in that profession.

Please help spread the word about what Jerry's mother is going through. Maybe if enough people post this, the people will eventually see it and do something to change there poor behavior. We can hope anyway that they somehow get a heart.

My heart goes out to Jerry and his family in this time of need. To hear Jerry in the recording say that his mother said, "if i had a gun, I'd use it." breaks my heart. Jerry, please tell your mother to hang in there and that my thaughts are with her.

Thanks to those who are willign to help by posting this.

<3hugs to all<3.

Today I would have been married for eight years.

Whoever said time heals all had to be smoking crack because the pain of losing Jim has never gone away. I still feel it as strongly now as I did the day he was taken from me. It's been almost eight years and still it hurts. My heart aches at times for what I used to have.
I sometimes find myself asking if he would like the person that I have become. I'd hope so but I don't like myself at times. Would he be proud of me for the steps i have made to improve my life? i have changed so much since his death. Jim loved me for the person I was when he was alive. It didn't matter what I wanted to do he was always there to support it.
I remember when i got my job as a bill collector he was so happy for me. He knew i wanted to work. I'm pretty sure he'd be much happier with my job I have now I must admit. :P. I myself am much happier doing what I do now. I'll never go back to bill collections as long as I live. Those were some horrid days.
One of my fondest memories of him that i have is, there was one day I was sitting in the bath tub and I was singing. I often sing in the shower or bath, lol. Jim was asleep so I was trying not to wake him. He came in to the bathroom and I told him I was sorry if I had awakened him. He replied with "you didn't wake me up, i woke up because i heard an angel singing in here." It was very sweet. I probably blushed ten million shades of red but it was sweet all the same. He had always wanted me to make a CD of myself but it wasn't till after his death that my first one was complete. I wish I could have finished one while he was still alive. I like to think he can hear me singing now.
I still miss him terribly and it's days like this when i think of him the most. Today we said "I do" and on September 11 he left this worl for the next great adventure. i know he's watching me from where ever he is. He' was my angel here, and he's my angel now. Jim is gone but never forgotten. He will always carry a place in my heart. No matter what I do or where I end up, he will always be there.

Well, going to go and help with dinner plans so i'm off for now, but before i go I just wanted to say that no matter what, don't miss the chance to tell the one you love that you love them. Hold them close because none of us are promised tomorrow.

I love you all.

<3hugs and kisses<3

To my readers.

I have tried very hard to keep my anger out of the public eye but I can no longer do it. I made a promise to myself that I would not write about anything that makes me angry but I should have never made that promise because I should have known that I wouldn't be able to keep it. This is my journal and if you don't wish to read this entry I'd advise you to stop now. I'm not a very happy lily. Now having said this, entry continues.

Can someone tell me how the hell someone can doubt the validity of your husband dieing? I saw how it happened! You weren't there, you weren't by his bedside! I was! I watched in sadness as he took off his oxygen mask because he had decided that he was to tired to fight any longer! I held his hand as he passed! I was with him as he took his last breaths! I saw it happen! You weren't there! I'd never take a cheap shot like that against you with your mother dieing! What you said was about as bad as a friend of mine's roommate saying that I was probably half responsible for jim's death because i"m wiccan. You have hurt me deeply and for now I can honestly say I can not ever forgive you for this one. Any secrets you may have told me I will still keep with me till the day i die, why? The answer is simple, I'm not the type of person to go revealing things when asked not to no matter how i'm treated by someone. I'm done! Have a nice life! No love, Lily.

Rant over reguarding this, no more really needs to be said.

I can't believe that someone would stoop this low. Yes i have made some big huge mistakes in my past that have come to light and have admitted my wrongs. If people would/could leave my past where it belongs...but oh no...I'm the big bad person now because of my past mistakes. My mistakes happend years ago and why they can't stay in the past is beyond me. To said person who decided to bring up my past again? You are not innocent! I know things that could damage your reputation. I won't but just know that i could. I'm not the same person I was back then. I have grown up a lot and have changed since then.

I have not revealed names here because the persons responsible for this rant are not important, they know who they are. I know they will read this probably and think of all sorts of nasty things to say and that's ok. Let's just say though, I know who my true friends really are.

I'm sorry if you think this entry is/was dramatic but even i need to rant at times. i can't be the happy person I'm always expected to be. I've got feelings too afterall.

I do not wish harm on either one of these two persons either. I truely hope they are happy and that they won't find the need to hurt others just because of their lives being messed up or things aren't going the way they are supposed to for them.
To those who choose to remain friends with me after reading this, thank you. You don't know how much you mean to me. i treasure you all and will continue to do so. To those who choose to judge and talk behind my back, I wish you nothing but happiness in your endeavors.

Untill next time, hopefully it will be a much happier entry.

<3Hugs and love<3

Greetings.

Wel, another year has passed and I'm another year older. Ok in birthday years and not a new year. I'm now 38 years young and don't eel any different because of it, i feel the same as I did yesterday when I was 37.

My birthday has been good. Lots of birthday wishes which I thank everyone for and my boss took myself and Donna who is a coworker of mine out to lunch to celebrate. He wanted me to choose where we were going to eat but i couldn't decide so I asked Donna what sounded good to her. She suggested chinese which I jumped at because it had been a while since i last ate that. She told me about The China Buffet and how excellent their food was so I agreed it sounded awesome. I was not disappointed. Not only do they have chinese food but for those who are not into it but go because their friends/family/other half is, for them they have lots of american goodness. I chose to eat a salad from the salad bar, some chicken and broccoli over fried rice, an eggroll, a cream cheese wantan, a chicken on a stick that Donna kept refering to as cat on a stick but was truely chicken, some seafood dish that I found to be quite palitable and some chocolate icecream with toffey pieces sprinkled over it. By the time Jason, donna and i left we were stuffed. We all three kept saying how we needed a nap. The thing was, what I ate was all little spoonfuls. They weren't the heaping spoonfuls of food that you'd think we'd eat at a buffet. The biggest thing I had was my salad. Yay for the veggies!

That was probably the most exciting thing that happened today. LOL! Sad but true.
Again, thank you all for the birthday wishes.

Breaking Dawn Part 2

Breaking Dawn: Part 2 Now Has A Shocking *NEW* Ending! http://t.co/MtUyrrjq

I! DON'T! WANT! TO! WAIT! TILL! NOVEMBER!!!!! I'M GOING TO GO MAD I TELL YOU, MAD! LOL!
I'm extremely curious as to how they are going to end Breaking Dawn Part 2. I think the big question is, why would they change it. There may be a lot of Twihards including myself who are going to be a tad upset at the change if it doesn't end like it should. That may be an understatement. Then again, we could all be surprised and love the new ending. I will be rereading that book before it is released in theaters so I can be ready to compare the book to the movie. I really shouldn't do that but I always do. It may not even be relevant if they have come up with a totally new ending. NOVEMBER, HURRY UP AND GET HERE!

Deadly fun?

Ok so check this out...

There’s a roller coaster designed to kill passengers.

The Euthanasia Coaster reaches a height of 1600 feet, followed by a steep plummet all the way down, and then seven consecutive loops. Passengers will be spinning upside-down while travelling at a speed of 223 miles per hour. The gravitational force put on the passengers by this ride is 10 Gs, enough to kill a person. Essentially, the blood in a person’s body will be forced away from the head, cutting off the brain’s supply to oxygen, resulting in death. The idea behind this roller coaster is to give people a chance to have a lot of fun before they die. Currently, the Euthanasia Coaster only exists as a scale model, and there aren’t any plans yet to begin construction.

I have only one thing to say to this, no thanks. I'd really like to know who came up with this idea. I would love to get inside his/her head to see what exactly they are thinking at any given moment. Ok I understan the concept of the roller coaster but for me, if I know I'm going to permanently check out, riding a roller coaster is going to be the last thing on my mind. Just sayin. Maybe that's just nme but it's the truth.

Well, dinner should be here soon so i'm going to end this. Pizza Hut to the hunger's rescue. Pizza rollers, quepapas and wings. I'll have dinner tonight and breakfast in the nmorning. :P.

Until next time...

<3Hugs to those who want'need them.<3
