How God works in our lives...$700,0000000

THIS is not FAKE!! It's CONFIRMABLE!! HA

Dear Friend,

I have been waiting for you to contact me for your Confirmable check of
$700.000.00 United States Dollars, after you were unable to come up with
the shipping fees,but I did not hear from you since that time. Then I went
and deposited the Check with FedEx , I would travelled out of the country for some
months for a profesional Course and I will not come back till end of January 2009.
What you have to do now is to contact the FedEx
as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your
check to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have
paid for the delivering Charges, Insurance premium fees and Clearance
Certificate Fees of the Check showing that it is not a Drug Money .

The only money you will send to the FedEx to deliver your
Check direct to your postal Address in your country is ($90.00
USD)Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee for the check of the Courier
Company so far.

Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $90.00
US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no! because they don't
know when you will contact them and in case of demourrage. You have to
contact the FedEx now for the delivery of your Check with
this information below:


Director General
FedEx Express
Mr.John Carter
Email Address: john_carter1911@hotmail.com

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and direct
telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and
ask them to give you the tracking number after you must have sent the fees
of $90.00 dollars for the Security fees to enable you track your package
over there and know when it will get to your address. Let me repeat again,
try to contact them as soon as you receive this email to avoid any further
delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $90.00 US
Dollars for their immediate action.You should also let me know through
email as soon as you receive your check.

JOB interview coming



I got THE call today. It is two weeks out. However..that gives me time to get a suit tailored (my friend Shelly just nabbed me about 10 suits but need to be altered), get some shoes (because of inserts I always wear Reebok heel supports)-not the best for "The MAN" look (what my clients used to call us ..."Dad.."THE MAN" from across the river is here!!(Court house was on opposite side of the river, get my hair cut and those nasty eyebrows waxed....and Meditate on how good it will feel to accept the position....
I quit full time work about 9 years ago. Why? I ask myself that frequently..however...I got pregnant, and really felt I should homeschool. My son was in 1st grade at the time, and his teacher, "teacher of the year" suggested I homeschool as the "school district has NOTHING to offer your children". This was before he was ever diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. I made accommodation's for him because that's just how he was.
We did that for 4 years. I say "WE" because the commitment to quit "State" employment was huge.
I keep thinking of the "what if's"--What if I hadn't quit--I'd have 9 more years toward retirement...we wouldn't be in the financial bind we are....I wouldn't have been able to bond with my kids like I did, I wouldn't have helped numerous families adopt kids, and Foster others..(My part time job I did as we homeschooled.)..ok. I know I can't go back and have a do-over. Wouldn't that be nice sometime?
How am I going to do back full time with 3 urchins in school? ..Contract work is good money--when you can get it...and keep it with the economy..but ..but..but..a cubicle is looking mighty good-with the insurance and "security". (is there such a job out there with security?)

My Favorite people..new category


This is My Friend Denise. She now lives in South Carolina...near Charleston in some jacked up town where she drives bus. (That's ME peeking behind her). This was 3 years ago...which I just found this photo because as BOSSY has us getting our Money in order, I'm trying to get my computer photos in order.
Denise...Drives bus. Other bus drivers have had guns on their bus, girls are giving BJ's for drugs on the bus...so that NOW any time the hint of light is not in the sky ALL bus light's are on. Fights, disturbances, swearing...all minor compared to the nastiness of attitudes.
Denise....Broken neck survivor and still walking, is precise, motivated, and LAUGHS out loud. She loves me...and it's hard not to love someone back that thinks YOU are the bomb!! She helps me accept myself, and is kind enough to kick my ass when I need it.

Find free eye exams
You work hard and pay your bills. But sometimes you need a little help getting by.

Maybe your employer doesn't provide vision insurance. Or, maybe you don't qualify because you work part-time.

Eligibility requirements vary from state to state. But, generally, one member of your household must be working. You cannot have had an eye exam in two years.

If all of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one)! Trust me...this is very accurate. Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you.

What I'm watching...SLITHER..

Sorry folks...this is one of them thar REEL blogs that occasionally goes over to the DARK side..and it don't get one whit darker than this: The Movie SLITHER. This comes from my oldest 14 yo enthralled will zombies and gore ..the Weird needle like thing creates...a one mind conscious...old plot, new spin..
From the soundtrack:
BABY I love you but leave me the fuck alone.....
Well you know I said I'd love you for all time.
Well sometimes I just can't believe you're mine.
But every now and then
I'm ready to say when
Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone.



Well in your arms is where I'll always stay
But something deep inside says not today
Well i'll be sitting here
working on this beer
Oh baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone.

I try so hard each day
to make things go away
there's nothing left to say for tonight

For a couple of days I won't be comming round
I'm going to go get lost, I think I might skip town
Now I don't mean to pout
but you plain wore me out
Oh baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone.

Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
I tried dancing, I just want to go home
I know your cooking's great
But dinner will have to wait
Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone

Well I'm in a frazzled state
the party will have to wait
Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone

Face book



The "beauty" of facebook...having people you don't care if you were ever in contact again contacting you....Like...a college date. "OH...Look who you find on the internet" he said...well yah..You can find GODZILLA too if you look hard enough.



NOT that he was Godzilla...I'm just saying. I was fresh off a breakup and thrilled to be back in University..he felt like he was a bad boy dating someone a year and a 1/2 older than him. He was from the big city...I was a "townee". This was me during that time:
We did the big whoopla one New Year's Eve..it was very pleasant..and one of the very first times ever that My ex fundamental Baptist self drank alcohol. yeah. I remember the bed spinning and things erupting..not so Christian that.

So..Godzilla...er...Rick has a beautiful child, and has been put in the position of being God Child to a roommates daughter (roommate died). We have been discussing how sometimes when the Hand of God chooses you to do something..you aren't equipped or ready or even WANT to do it.
I just think of that verse, "Hold my right hand and I will say to you, Be Not Afraid".

Car Wreck Deuce

My Dear Friend Denise...has a broken neck. Yes its true. She has walked the earth for years with a broken neck . this came out in "group" a couple years ago. Not in the counseling type group..the "group" of people sorting out the God thing group. They think she did it sledding as a kid
She is one of my fascinating friends.
anyway...She loses out in Michigan due to the economy...moves to North Carolina...New car...Some lady SMASHES it today...with no where for her to go. SMASH. Her neck? she crawled out of the window, yet couldn't go to The ER because it was 149 72 to go to the Emergency room and you have to pay RIGHT THEN.
Oh mmyyyyy Goadddddd don't get me started!!!! She STILL has a broken neck..the car wreck did no further damage at this time.

HOWEVER...her MEDS!! WALMART kept DOUBLING and TRIPLING what the doctor ordered!! It was bad. The Doctor didn't understand why it wasn't having any effect. She got an attorney...IT could have caused a HEART ATTACK!!!!

car wreck


Yah..here she is in all her splendor at the former owner's house. Before my husband smashed the front end out this summer. He ..was just distracted due to illness and KWAHHHM smashed into a lady. No police were called. Our car much worse off.

TODAY...I have 4 kids with me. I drop one off, go to where the van is getting detailed (PREMONITION MAYBE) say to my husband..ummmmm I"m driving these 2 kids without a Booster seat ---(Law here just changed to EIGHT YEARS OLD (ridiculous) OR 4"9"...Its Crazy!!The Older one was in front seat.
less than a MILE down the road...KAAAAAWHAAAMMM...some bitch slams into me in the volvo. Of course INSIDE the Volvo...No damage..no injuries. Now I"m just PISSED. Get out survey the damange...worse on hers than mine...I said do you want to call the cops? She said..NOt if YOU don't want too...I didn't I didn't want the $160 a piece ticket and some dumbass endangering a child or something they may come up with. I got the hell out of dodge.
Weird thing....EXACT same Place My husband ran into someone this summer.
The bumper is smashed in, I have a very sore back...(getting less so with wine)....

Employment searching

Wow. I feel so out of the loop. EVERY job just about has their OWN on line application that you have to fill out to apply. This may seem like an easy task. It's not. EACH one takes at least an hour. Between flipping for dates, times places...its WACK.

I applied for a job that is sort of scary. I used to be in "The Field" which is misnomer for Being in downtown BIG CITY with people who have committed CRIMES. Yah. Guess I"m looking to go back to that. I wrote to the Head Honcho that I know, and got a response right away, so maybe I will get an interview.

The reasons I'm looking ....kids are older, I feel Blessed to have been home / worked part time these years. I feel like my younger one will be getting the shaft though. We are not making it!! We ARE...but living beyond paycheck to paycheck.

I understand working with Renters (for the duplex I have) in that they can't come up with say $650 for Security Deposit and Then first months rent at the same time. On the other hand...WHY don't we as Americans have BETTER financial sense?

On Other Hand...Son just got braces to day that is going to cost over $10K. What is up with THAT?. Yikes. I'm all over the place.

Running Blind

I used to work at the Blind school, and never made it one time around the track,with my fingers in the metal loop on the guide wire without opening my eyes...now I feel like...I'm running blind...watching my life wave me goodbye..

Running Blind Lyrics
Artist(Band):Godsmack

Can’t find the answers
I’ve been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
Promises have been turned to lies
Can’t even be honest inside
I'm running backwards
Watching my life wave me goodbye

Running blind
I’m running blind
Somebody help me see I’m running blind

Searching for nothing
Wondering if I’ll change
I’m trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldn’t need anyone by my side
I'm running backwards
With broken wings I know I’ll die

Running blind
I’m running blind
Somebody help me see I’m running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

I can’t find the answers
I’ve been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
I’m running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

Happy Birthday to me

Quote for the day...

"Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.'
So - if you give her crap,
you will receive more shit than any one human being can handle."
