Bright and early tomorrow morning, I'm off to Cleveland! *I know you are all so jealous* Yes I'm off to Cleveland for a three day Basic Mediation Training Seminar! WOO HOO! Anyone have any mediation needs? I going to need some practice!
Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination. Why stop at protesting gay marriage? Bring all of God's law unto the heathens and the sodomites. We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver's and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye's shall be cleansed. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants. |
I have been living in my neighborhood for 9 years. 8 of those years I had not one complaint. NOT ONE!!! I love my house and my neighborhood. One year ago I got a new neighbor. She was fine for a month and then her boy friend AND HIS SEVEN DOGS move in. The dogs barked all the time...we tried talking to them, leaving a note on the door and finally calling the police. Finally after six months of struggles they get rid of four dogs. Of course they were pissy with us and it became quite tense over here (they would yell out their windows for us to keep the noise down if we did ANYTHING after 8:00). So this summer when we got mulch delivered we used it as a peace offering...we said they could use all the mulch they wanted at no cost and told them, "that is what neighbors are for." Well things were good for a month. But now the weather is nice and they got a BBQ pit installed...oh and they just love to hang out with the three dogs and their friends until midnight, talking, playing the radio and having a good ole time. I could go over and talk to them but it will just start last years fiasco all over again. They really are idiots. We all live soooooooooo close to each other, how could it not dawn on them that they should move the party inside after 11 PM? So this is my reality. I can accept that I can never open my windows again and will fall asleep to noise or we can move. If we move, we can rent or get a new place. I would LOVE to leave Ohio but my boys are BEGGING me to stay local.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO????? Hey, I'll leave it up to you guys...should I move or stick it out????
Okay so last week Lisa didn't win...WOO HOO! I mean...Stephanie won...WOO HOO! Tonight is the Top Chef reunion and the Fan Favorite will be announced...so who do you think it will be? I think Richard or Spike. Oh and who will be surprised that so many people didn't like them??? OH YES that will have to be the LOVELY LISA!!!! This just might be fun :-)
But I must accept that pushing this issue will cost me the loss of a friendship. I am therefore, keeping my mouth closed and I am not mentioning cancer treatment to Salma anymore. I am going to try and set up at least one day each week that we can go out and do something fun together. I will just be with her and enjoy her for probably her last year on earth. Of course I wish things were different, but they aren't. *sigh*
JUST before I drifted off to sleep, something asinine I did in college popped into my head. It was 24 years ago! But BANG it was fresh in my psyche as if it was yesterday! I felt incredibly anxious and couldn't fall asleep! I wandered around the house for awhile, popped a couple tylenol PM and finally got to sleep. WT???? Have you ever had this happen?
Normally I ignore this kind of craziness. I find the vast majority of people so ignorant as to be beneath my contempt. But I finally saw the Rachel Ray Dunkin' Donuts picture and she is just wearing a scarf.... around her neck! Anybody who could construe this as even vaguely Muslim has issues.
Yet there are enough people bothered to have started an effective letter writing campaign. I understand Dunkin' Donuts must cowtow to the consumer masses, but shame for giving into ignorance and paranois.
