    Got erased again. Why oh why is there a button so close to the space bar that closes down the internet window? Insane. Happens so often it is maddening. Urrr.

    Okay, little setback.

    Was at court today. Second appearance. Maybe next court date (April 16) they'll let me go free, I'm told, since they really have no case anyway. Just circumstantial stuff not worth a wit in actual court.

    Michelle Marie, I feel for you. You are very brave. Such individuals cannot be defeated or deflated. Hang in there, my dear.

    Lisab, hope you got your email accessed, I did.

    Another evil entity bites the dust, no sympathy from here for the Iron Lady. Although I wonder how she's gonna excuse herself up there in the afterlife - hope she does not even get the chance to. Just re-incarnate her as a slug or a cadavre bug or some such - no insult intended to insects...

    Holding my breath until next Tuesday...

    Yukondiva has been dealing with both Costa Rican bureaucracy (Dept. of Immigration)
    and US bureaucracy (social security) and needed some comic relief.
    She had never heard of The Twelve Tasks of Asterix before, so this was her inauguration.
    Here it is...
    I'm pretty sure there are few here who can't relate to what went on in this government building in ancient Rome

    A lot of red tape is based on stats. If you don't have a cash register checking what you are doing, it is tempting to think up some likely numbers to make a pretty pie chart. All this junk then gets injected into planning and policy, and eventually the whole pile of cards will come crashing down. Oh dear

    I really think she was ok when she started out, wanted to reduce government, get people to empower themselves.
    She probably had no idea of what was awaiting her once she started mixing with TPTB.

    So she had Alzheimers, like Reagan....hmm...
    Apparently, right until the end there are brief moments of clear memory, which can't be easy.
    With that agony of knowing that one is only heading deeper into insanity.
    Her last years must have been hell already.

    I saw that, too. Then I realized, no, this cat has no butt. So, it must only be buttless cats who are worshipping the dark lord, mine all have butts, so that's a huge sigh of relief.

    V was driving her girls around Saturday, and was strongly compelled to stop and take a picture of this tree:



    I've never known her to take a photo without a being in it--usually human or animal, occasionally when she feels/sees something in the house...but she is not a landscape photo-taker...

    In fact, the only other pic she ever showed me without a being is my avatar!

    That can't be Reilly! It simply can't! One of our favorite sayings for McKnao was "YouAin'tGotNoButt" (he was soooo skinny when we first got him twenty some years ago). (Even during his beached whale stage, he had no butt...)

    Must be something else we're not seeing lol.

    What a great movie Network is...I associate it with my old favorite website when I was into liberal politics...bartcop.com, he is hilarilous and does a radioshow that starts with that. He's great, but he is mired in red-red-red Oklahoma, and is extremely anti-religion to the point of extreme anti-anything spiritual--it's a shame.

    It was a funny reminder, he's all about Mark Perkel and his Church of Reality, of which I was once a "member"--EXTREME atheism completely locked into the miundane/3D...

    That IS maddening. I wrote a message that never went today...It was on my friend's blogpost. Google wanted extra profile info in order to post. I opted out. I close windows whenever they keep asking for more information for my account.

    You are FREE. Claim it!

    One time these mechanics were fixing my air conditioning and they had indicated that there might or might not be a charge depending on the issue, and I stared at this sign that said: FREE something. I stared at that FREE word with the intent that there would be no charge. There was NO charge. It was FREE!!!

    MORE GOOD NEWS: Not only is my car fixed, but it is FREE!!! It turns out that it was a connector instead of a fuel pump and my Angel friend Kelley fixed it and is not going to charge me. (I didn't even realize how it was going to relate to this post.)

    My audio on my computer and phone have been dicey, but working now.

    Love,

    My friend and I had a game we'd play, where we'd determine/guess where the moon would fall and how much damage it'd do if it came straight down from where it was at the relative size it appeared whenever we saw it (its fun, you should try it)

    Anyways, I am now watching a sickening (but fascinating, and awesome--not in the good sense--spraying above: there's 4 deluxe sprayers in parallel lines just dicing up the sunset sky.

    One perpendicular trail was already up there. If the spot where the first plane crossed that one came straight down (the center of the X), it would engulf my house and yard. Yuck.

    Does anyone else say to themselves (in a. Dr Evil voice) one meal-ion views, every time they see the H&N thread stats?

    Anyway I went back and read the old liberal "comedy" site I remembered loving so much about a decade ago. I wondered why it made me feel bad, like really effected me emotionally. I thought at first it was the anti-religion, they are zealously devoutly hard core atheist over there, on top of the anti-religion thing. But that wasn't it...I see zealotry enough that I know what it makes me feel like.

    I thought maybe it was the buying into it thing, but I'm well aware of and still constantly around people who don't see the hyppocracy and waste of immersing yourself in the bull**** and news and analysis of a system you yourself point out over and over is sick twisted lie. We run into that even here sometimes.

    Nope...it was the ol' pogo cartoon, the "liberals" had become everything they claimed to hate. The bullying righteous peeing on any opinion other than what WE KNOW. And I realized, "we" (liberals) were always that too. It's just a reversal on the victim/abuser relationship (each really being both at the same time). Liberals were never different, we just got to play the victim (in the whole political blogging/activist/soap box artist "sphere" I'm talking about). And all it is a battle. An argument. "Being right".

    Ugh...I need to go take shower

    Watch out world! I survived the trials and tribulations and I feel like a PowerHouse!

    A friend told me his son who is messed up on meth pushed him down and yelled awful things to him and injured him. His son is renting a house from him. The sheriff came over and made my friend, the dad, leave the premises. WTF I know it was because of tenant rights, but now....

    I called every Sheriff that went there and left a message. I created a 24 hour eviction notice with the statute that says if there's violence the lease can be terminated. I called witnesses, got their name, number, and statement. I called the son and left a message for him that he better get that energy off the property (the methheads)!

    I called in some friends to support him; he was too embarrassed to tell them, but I told him his behavior has been stellar. It's his son who should be embarrassed knocking his father down (has bruised ribs and can't breathe without pain).

    Prayers to dad and son. Clearing old energies...

    Lotsa love,
    Michelle Marie

    If something isn't right, I'm calling Bullsh*t and doing something about it.
    The energy has shifted in the situation already, but should be fine by the end of the week.

    It's almost 11pm. I am watching Em rest. We are staying the night in a small town hospital room. The doctors do not think she has appendicitis, she might have ovarian cysts, and has some inflammation that I cannot pronounce. Her fever hit close to 104, highest it has been so far. Morphine has kept her comfortable along with an anti-nausea med. She has had two or three bags of fluids, and is excited to be drinking cold water.

    She appears to have had a slight reaction to the dye used in the scan, still they want another one tomorrow.

    M and little one are home, mike is there. Little one will not see me before school, hoping he will be okay.

    Anyway, I am grateful this does not appear to be serious. Not that anyone has a clue what it is. I think antibiotics are coming her way.

    I'm hoping, though, most of all, that we do not catch something in this small town hospital that we didn't come in with. Seriously.

    Tonight I humbly ask for strength, so that I may continue to care for everyone else. And maybe a shield so I won't catch anything.

    And I ask for the highest good be served for Em, that this be as painless and uneventful as possible. And I hope she returns to her silly self in the best health ever...by tomorrow

    Much Love,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.
