Times Change

2007-02-01T10:09:00.000-05:00

So whats up with Blogger changing here?
OK as you can see I am BACK,
nope have to clue as for how long, I come and go and life has
been very busy for me..

Update: well I messed up my right shoulder for over compensating
for the left since my last surgery. and man am I in pain all the time.
I have lost most of the use in my left arm, and now the right is going
so much fun, yet workmans comp has decided to debate the fact they are
responsible and now its back to court yet again.. I think I am the only one
in history who has seen a court room this many times on a W.C case..
but the insurance company did send me an offer while denying my surgery for
my right shoulder, LMAO, yep a whole 46,292.00.. I'll jump
right on that.. yeah right.. I am messed up for life and can't work anymore
yet they think I am only worth 46 thousand dollors... what are they nuts?

Well I also had a huge fightwith my daughters family in CA... they just can't
seem to let my daughter grow up and anyone who trys to help her is wrong..
well they got so bad that my daughter has disowned everyone of them..
I hope they see what they lost... But on a good note, she is gonna marry the
man of her dreams.. so thats a good thing...

My sons are doing good and not really much to say about them, life is going great for them
and my daughter in law is doing a little better with her MS since being put on the new Tysybi
medication.. and the grandchildren are all awesome as always...

My husband and I are now looking to buy a house.. just can't find one I like.
I think I am being to picky, LOL.. I want 5 acres or more perferable in the woods
But either way it has to have trees around it. with a 3 bedroom 2 bath and one floor
where I do not have to do stairs anymore.. the stairs here are killing me.. I had a hip replacement back in 94 so I am at the point of hating stairs now.. and I really perfer
not to have any neighbors and if I do, I would like them to be at least a 1/4 mile away from me. LOL... am I asking to much here? cause I just can't find the perfect house yet..

OK thats about it for now.. however you can find me on myspace.. I hang there more often
the addy is: http://www.myspace.com/clearlyjade .

well thats it.. Hugs to all

THE YEAR 1906

2006-08-20T22:46:00.000-04:00

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1906. One hundred years ago.
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some of the U.S. statistics for the Year1906:

************************************
The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years.

Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.

There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California.

With a mere 1.4 million people, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower!

The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents per hour.

The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year .

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year,? a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.?

More than 95 percent of all births in the US. took place at HOME.

Ninety percent of all U.S. doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!

Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard."

Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a Month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason

Five leading causes of death in the U.S. were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet.

The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!!

Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn't been invented yet.

There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.

Two out of every 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write.

Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores.

Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." ( Shocking? DUH! )

Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time servant or domestic help.

There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !

Now I forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you and others all over the United States, possibly the world, in a matter of seconds!

Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.

IT STAGGERS THE MIND, EH....!??

Vegas Trip

2006-08-05T08:49:00.000-04:00

I am home now, been home for a few weeks, Well not really, I got home and then had enough time to do laundry and put things away from the Vegas trip when I was off again for a week of Camping.

OK, Vegas was a blast, I had a great time. But a week is way to long to spend there. Anyhows, Spending time with my daughter was awesome.. the day she arrived I met her at my room as hers was not ready yet. We then went to Toby Keiths Resterant at the Harras Hotel & Casino. The food was awesome, Afterwards went went back to Treasure Island where we where all staying. Brandy and her boyfriend went to their room and I went to mine to rest...

Brandy called me about 2 hours later, to help her decide what she was going to wear out, Her and Darius were going to a show and dinner alone that night.. so she ended up wearing a RED dress with Black heels and man was she Beautiful.. After her dinner and show we all met at the Rivera at a night club called Syn City.. it was a lot of fun, at midnight she was to turn 21, (Yes my baby is now an adult. and yes this is very hard to except.) but here she is beautiful as ever.

Brandy at Syn City

She had a blast, the guy at the door asked her for ID and she was ear to ear smiles when she had to show him LOL.. thats what she wanted, she wanted to be carded so she could prove she was 21. LOL....

OK the next night was her Birthday.. My baby was 21 years old and I was feeling a little depressed about the whole thing. SHe had plans to go to a place called Hamburger Marys for her birthday dinner. This was to be a surprise or more of a shock value to her family. LOL as this place was surpose to be like the one in Hollywood where the guys and the shows were all gay and trans.. LOL.. But we found out that the name changed and so didn't the entertainment.. SO her boyfriend Darius quickly made plans for Gillys at the Frontier Hotel & Casino, Here she is on the machanical bull...

Brandy riding the Bull at Gillys

Her whole family from California was there. some where impressed and some were not. I for somereason found it funny that none of them could except what they were seeing from this young lady.. A comment was made that my daughter was turning out just like her mother. LOL. Hey what can I say.. Like Mother, Like Daughter, LMAO..

That night, I decided I was gonna stay in and hang out around the casino while Brandy & Darius went to the Lexuor to a night club called Rhaw with her brother & sisters from the california side of the family. So she went upstairs to get dressed to go out and she was stunning, she took my breath away and the thought the this was my daughter was so amazing.. However the rest of the family is still having issues with the way she dresses.. they feel she should be totally covered. Therefor they had problems with it.. Me I thought she was beautiful and yes I would like to see her covered as well, after all she is my daughter.. But then she is also 21 years old and I am not going to tell her how to dress.. But truth, is she not beautiful? OK for some reason I am having trouble getting the pic I want to post. LOL.. Oh Well hang in there and I will post them all at once. maybe that will work, LOL...

OK Now on Sunday I took Brandy for a day at the SPA that was located right in our Hotel. the name of the spa was called WET.. it was awesome, we both got a sugar scrub and a swedish massage. the we just relaxed and had a wonderful mother/daughter talk that was way over due.. we then went to our rooms where we rested for a bit. the Brandy and Darius went out to dinner and another show, I stayed in the room most of the night until about 11:30pm when Brandy called me and asked if I wanted to go for a late snack and coffee.. of course I did and we met downstairs where we talked more and just had a quite time...

Monday was her last day, she was going to be leaving in a few hours and I was really feeling depressed.. I didn't want to see her leave. I just never get enough time with her.. so we all met for breakfast and then we went and walked the strip and got some goodies to take home, me for my grandchildren and her for some of her friends.. it was a great time, she did get a little loopy on a hurricane she bought while we were walking. Man was it hot out there and the iced drinks were very good.. we then went back to the room where she and Darius got their belongings and went downstairs to get the car and off to the airport they went.. Yes I hugged her and tried very hard not to cry when she drove away.. However the tears were falling as I walked back to my room to have some time to myself and let loose.. I did, the waterfalls came. I hate it when we have to depart like that..

I spent the next day just browsing around and throwing a few dollors into the slot machines where yes I did win some. But what I won was made up by my hubby of what he lost. LOL.. but then we knew going in what we could afford to lose and what we couldn't.. I think my hubby forgot that at first. But when he started losing on the tables against the people who were there to practice for the world poker tournment, he quickly gave up and came to the room. LOL

I almost forgot.. My Hubby also took me to see a show called Mystere' , or as most know it by, Cirque Du Soleil, Let me tell you. this was awesome.. the tickets were 95.00 per person and worth every penny... I have to say it was the best show I have ever seen and will be going again when ever I can or when ever they happen to be in the same area I am in. LOL...

OK thats about it for Vegas.... I arrived Home late Wed night on the 19th and did not take me long to get into my own bed and fall asleep..

After which I finished up my cleaning and laundry and I was off for another week of camping.. that was also a lot of fun and if you ever get the chance to take the kids and go to Yogis Jellystone Park which is in a few states.. go.. you won't regret it.. the whole place is centered around the Kids. They had a hersey chocolate slip and slid.. the kids loved it.. My grandson was amazed. this was his first time camping and he did not want to come home, LOL.. through it all, it rained on and off most of the week and we stuck it out.. it always was nice in the evenings where we could cook dinner and enjoy the campfire and then it would rain again.. But it was a great time in all and I can't wait to go camping again.. at least one more time this summer will be good. LOL... well thats about it for my summer so far... the next post will be more pictures of Vegas and of my daughter and I....

My update is now Over. LOL
Hope you are all enjoying your summer..
Huggz to all

My Wonderful Life!!!

2006-06-29T00:39:00.002-04:00

Well here I am, back for the update, I know you all are just dieing to find out huh? LOLok ok, I will give it to you, just remember this is my blog and I can complain and bitch if I wanna LOL

Ok First off, My workmans comp.. oh what fun that has been.First off, I went to court in May as you all know and I got them tokeep their cash of $53. a week.. well then Last Monday I wentback to court to Testify that my right arm is now messed up due to overcompensating for my left.. Well they do have to pay all medicalon the right shoulder as well as the left now and thats a good thingHowever they also now are giving me back my $53.00 a week less $10.a week for attoney fees. Hum wonder if the Attoney still gets part of the settlement to? Anyhows now I get about $200. a month. WOW likethats really gonna help pay my bills..To top it off, my drs willnot give me a scheduled use of loss on the left shoulder because I amstill in treatment for it by going to Pain managment and now intreatment for the right shoulder.. With that we wait and see if I am gonna need surgery or not on the right shoulder. then we wait another year from the surgery date before a settlement can be made..However they decided they wanted all my business documents forstarting my own ebay business.. well thats not gonna happen. But they can wait all they want...

OK, Now for some more good stuff going on in my life.you see I had a very bad spot in my marriage a few years ago,well this guy I had known from when I was a teenager come back into my life at that time.. so on and off for 3 yearsI allowed him to treaten me with Bull Shit.. That came to an end real fast in the begining of June.. He decided it was coolto call my cell phone and leave me death treats on my voice mail.DUH, He also called my hubby.. well it all backfired on him big time.it ended with a restraining order being placed on him and now he can't have no contact with me whats so ever by any means.. whichis very good.The only trouble this man caused between me and my hubby was the fact my hubby got mad that I allowed this asshole to treaten me for so long... Again can we all say BACKFIRE. LOL

OK this is all about it.. not much more to report, I am backto living a boreing life again... well until July 14-17 when I go to Vegas for my daughters 21st birthday..that should be an interesting time.. But will leave me more to write about then. LOL

OK thats it.. Hope you all enjoy the begining of your summer and have lots and lots of fun...

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

2006-06-04T22:55:00.000-04:00

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Concert was GREAT

2006-05-30T21:23:00.000-04:00

What an awesome concert. Every year my sister and I try to do one concert and more if we can afford it. This year it was forienger & Styx, there was 5 of us in total that went this year. My sister, brother, hubby, me, & my sister's friend. we had a ball.. my hubby & brother got drunk as always during a concert and they were funnier then hell, But the concert itself was awesome.. However I have to say this.. now this is something I never thought I would say.. But Styx had way to much base going on.. it literely made you vibrate on the floor... But they were still awesome, LOL... and it could have had a lot to do with the fact we were only 10 rows up from the stage. Now I tell ya, thats the way to see a concert. we were not to close nor were we to far away.. it was an awesome night right up to the end when my God Daughter decided to awol from the group home they put her in.. Man was I pissed.. so I spent the next 3 hours calling the home to see if she returned. lucky for her, she did on her own accord. so she was safe and sound and I then went to bed. yep at 3 am..what a shitty ending to an otherwise awesome night. Then I got up early to go see the brat.. so in all my weekend was a good one.. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Huggz to all

Miss Me?

2006-05-25T00:40:00.000-04:00

LOL, I bet ya do. miss my bitchin huh? well guess what?
Even through life has been a little rough on me since Dec.
I am not gonna bitch about it all this time.. Nope Life is good..
I am up and going on Ebay and getting ready in the next couple of weeks to Open an Ebay Store where I can put larger items..
Very soon I am going to be adding lots of Antiques to my Auctions..
So things are looking up for me..

Yep still fighting with Workmans Comp... June 19th I go and testify. Fun wow..
right shoulder hurts just as bad if not worse then the left now. But as always I will survive this one as well.. ya know sometimes it sucks to just be brave, LOL

As for the Young Lady I was taking care of, well she is now in a group home about 60 miles away and she loves it there.. She has school year round. However they are going to let her get a job either working at the nursing home next door or at the local SPCA... I get to call her every night and I get to see her once a week if I want.. they said I could every day.. But man thats a drive to go everyday. so she will be lucky to see me once a week. LOL... However she can not come for a home visit for 6 months.. the judge was really mad at her... Well I also told you about her mother putting the pills in her purse.. The Judge thought she was lieing and made her take a lie detector test.. she passed ... But the judge still felt this young lady would do better in a group home. I think he was right. this is the only was she will learn.. Also the case with the pills itself in the other court was kinda dismissed.. he let it go cause the young lady was placed.. so she is lucky he did that for her... But it all works out in the end. She has to make her own mistakes and learn from them and maybe, just maybe she will grow up to be a wonderful person... which she is now. but you all know what I mean. LOL

OK, Now life is busy for me. But getting better. not much more to say on that.. I am dealing with everything one day at a time and learning to say no to people. this is a good thing. means I am taking more time for me. OK so I get more time to work. but thats OK at least I will make a little money. LOL...

I see I am loseing staus on a few blogs that have deleted me from their blogrolls.. hum, looks like I better get back here a little more often before you all think I left for good... sorry you can't get rid of me that easy. LOL..

OK off to read the blogs and leave a few comments... maybe I can get my status back. LOL

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I am going to the Stix & Foiegner (bad spelling) concert.. will let ya all know about that on Monday Night.. LOL

Life Strikes Again

2006-05-09T06:57:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone,
Well I am back yet again.. Life has been something.. OK here goes.. I went to court for my WOrkmans Comp Yesterday.. it turned out better then I thought.. FIrst I was being told that I could not get off Comp unless I had a job. SO I started my on business. Now they do not send me cash anymore and I don't have to look for work either. LOL. However they do still got to pay for all my medical for my left shoulder. But now here is the Kick.. My right shoulder has gone to hell. yep you read that right.. my right shoulder now has tendinitious and arthroris in it.. The drs are doing to order a MRI on it But want me in PT for it first. However I can't go until they authorize it (WC) . we go back to court in June where I then testify that my right shoulder is in lots of pain due to over use of it while the left has been hurt for 3 years. all this will really do is delay the settling out part until maybe Sept if I don't need surgery. However in the end I will get paid for both shoulders with W.Comp having to take care of all the medical bills for it.. so I guess thats not to bad...

OK Now I need ya all to go look me up on ebay and BUY, LOL.. you find me as SilverJade37.. HINT HINT... like my hints?? LOL... Now here comes some good stuff....

I go to court this morning for the young lady I took custody of back in Dec. we went to court last tuesday and the judge almost took her then. But he gave her one more chance and said for her not to miss one day of school or the cops would come pick her up and she would go away for a year. Well guess what she did... she went to school the next day and they did random searches of lockers and stuff.. She got caught with a bottle of pills in her purse.. yes they were non addicting and non narcotic. However with the 0 tolerance thing. she got arrested and 5 days supened.. well thats more then one day of missed school.. now the pills did belong to her mother and her mother is taking the fall for it.. But because her mother forgot she put the pills in her daughter purse the day before (she had no pockets and therefore she put them in daughters purse) , her daughter could go away for a year.. I hope she feels good about herself for that one..

Then tomorrow night we go to court on that charge. Yep . even if they take her. she has to apear in court for it and I have to be there as I had custody.. so what a fun week this has been so far.. I wonder if the rest of this month could get any worse? I hope not. I need a vacation like really really bad... OK I am off.. Hope you all have a great rest of week and a great weekend coming.. I am done bitching for now. But trust I will be back. LOL...

The Obedient Wife

2006-04-15T12:04:00.000-04:00

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money,
and was a real miser when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me."And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died she would put all of the money in the casket with him.

Well, he died.

He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there inblack, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!" She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away.

So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."The loyal wife replied "Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.""You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check.

If he can cash it, he can spend it."

Thanks Wendy, Now thats keeping your promise. LOL

Life

2006-04-15T10:14:00.000-04:00

Can get very hectic at times for me. it seems like I have no clue if I am coming or going anymore. But I like it that way.. I like life to be full and happy when I can make it that way... Now that’s not to say that I am unhappy. I am not right now.. Things are starting to look up finally for me. I am finally off the cash part of Workmen’s Comp, Yep that’s right. No more of them running my whole life. Now they only get a little part of it somewhat. LOL...

.OK Here goes... in order for me to get off workmen’s comp, I HAVE to have a job. No Job then they can not stop the cash flow even through I asked them to. So I started my own business. LOL.. Yep, I am now doing EBay sales and maybe one day soon will open my own store. I go this week to get my DBA and then all I have to do is let my lawyer know what kind of income I am generating from EBay. However Workmen’s Comp has to keep me on all Medical at this time. So this is not a bad thing. They really can't tell me what I can or can not do with my life at this point...

I have lost a lot of mobility in my left arm and it is very weak and still painful. But no where’s near as bad as it was. However I did tear the right shoulder and on the 25th of this month I go to have it x-rayed and with luck have it fixed under W.C. .. But we can still settle out I think around Aug of this year. So in all it isn’t to bad... Life seems to be getting better and that I am very grateful for..

Yes I have had some problems during the winter months. But things are now looking up for me and that is a plus.. Now to get this business up and running on EBay.. So please check it out would ya.. Start bidding on some of the stuff I put up.. I NEED MONEY FOLKS, (LOL, Hint Hint)... So as you can see I may not post much. But I am back for now and again will try to read all the blogs this week as I really don't have much plans with the kids being out of school for the spring break... But then again life might get even busier for me, who knows... its getting to be that time of year where I need to get out and hit all the yard sales and auctions and see what good stuff I can find to sell. LOL..

.OK I guess that’s enough rambling for now and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and to those who celebrate it... HAPPY EASTER....Oh Yeah, we did our annual Pagan Shopping Day Yesterday.. What a blast that was... bought little and was in great company.. The Energy of the day was awesome and had by all. LOL

OK. be back soon. Miss you all

I am ALIVE

2006-03-26T10:20:00.000-05:00

Hey Everyone,
I bet your all wondering why I have not been on huh?
Well I have not been on cause life had thrown some curves
and before I knew it, time slipped away... However things are going better
for me now.. Tuesday is Court day yet again.. Yep Back to court for
workmans comp.. This time they want to drop my money down to
$53.00 a week. LOL.. But now get this.... I called my lawyer and told him
to get me off of all of it... I could not believe what I was told. LMAO

They can not take me off WC unless I go get a job and then report it to them
with a paystub proving I am working.. it does not matter that my hubby does not
want me to work right now.. they can not remove me from it... I even quit going to
Work Hardening because they wanted me to travel 50 miles one way everyday
and I refuse.. they don't pay well enough for me to place 500 miles a week on my
truck.. I am so sick og these people.. So now I am doing what I can to force them to
remove me... I just want to settle out and get on with my life...

As for my shoulder, Well it does hurt and I have lost a lot of mobilty in it.. But
I can move it a little more with less pain then before... I know I will always have the
pain. But it is better then letting other people tell me how to live my life..

OK enough of them... I had a wonderful day yesterday.. Yep it was my birthday and
I spent the day laying on my couch watching TV and just relaxing.. I need that.. I keep so
busy during the week that I sometimes forget myself.. But last weekend was also wonderful
I spent the whole weekend sitting by a pool and just relaxing.. it was wonderful.
I was gonna post a pic of me at the pool, But my computer decided it didn't wanna.
oh well,

Well I guess thats it for now.. I will try to post more often.. and I promise to get to
all of your blogs this week...

Adults or Children??

2006-01-08T10:54:00.000-05:00

Well here I am, I am gonna bitch yet again.. Yeah I know I do that a lot here. But hey I can, its my blog. LOL.. OK SO here it is..

I am so sick of grown adults acting like children. Hell we are not in the 5th grade any more. Really, we can have more then one friend and still get alone can't we?

A few days ago I found out a friend of mine was mad at me, had been since before the holidays. Yeah I know, nice of them to let me know huh? Well anyhows, I guess I was talking bad about her and didn't know it.. But what it all boils down to. is people putting words in my mouth again. I really hate that.. I have always been the type of person who will tell ya like it is in a heart beat. I really don't care what others think of me. If you don't like me, then GOOD, at least your one less person I have to worry about in this life. However I when I do have a good friend, I cherish them and place them pretty much first in my life. well besides my family who is always number 1 and will come before ANYONE...

OK Back to the story LOL.... you see I held a Yule Gathering here at my home back in Dec. It was a lot of fun. there was a lot of people here. some arrived on Friday night and stayed till Sunday and others came and left on Saturday.. Let me tell ya, there sure was a lot of energy in this house. But then there should have been. Hell it was a house filled with Witches. LOL... But a weekend I really enjoyed none the less..

We all visited, did readings for each other, had dirty bingo and won other gifts in drawings.. Someone lost the games list. LOL... Well during one of the readings I was getting, I told a kid how I helpped this friend of mine out... Well I guess that was talking bad and he went back and told this friend I said all kinds of things... This pisses me off to no end... DO NOT PUT WORDS INTO MY MOUTH. I AM PRETTY GOOD AT SPEAKING MYSELF I DON'T NEED ANY HELP.

Well My friend decided she had no reason for not believing this person and decided it was ok to not talk to me about it and to not talk to me at all until she arrived back from her vacation and sent me an email ending our friendship.. well to say I was hurt is an understatement...

So now I write this friend back, and tell her what I am about to say here...
"If people want to know something , ask me, I will tell ya... if anyone thinks I would harm another in any way, then they never knew me to begin with..." was some of the things said....

Well right now I am to hurt to speak to her and work this all out.. I am to old to play these kind of games with people and I refuse to play them.. From this day on, I will keep my mouth shut and that also means that while others are talking bad and putting people down, I will not be sticking up for them nor will I be telling these others to shut up I don't want to hear it.. I will let them ramble and then move on with my day... I am tired of all the child games and if thats what these so called adults want to do, then so be it.. But they will not get another rise out of me from this day on...

OK can ya'll tell that this upset me to no end? I will be returning the keys to my so called friend of her house and business and getting my craft items back along with my daughters moonstone back. then this is over.

So from this point on. I will be home more and taking care of my family..

****WAIT****

I bet you thought I was done huh? LOL. Nope there is some other news to tell ya all. LOL, Not to worry this is a good thing depending on how ya'll look at it. LOL...

on Dec 21st I was given custody of my 15 year old neice. Well not by blood. But have known her mother and family since my early childhood and I am this girls godmother. just not on paper...

However this is not a bad girl. Yes at the age of 13 she was a little wild and stole her mothers car. well she did that a lot. and her mother thought she had a gas leak in it for months before she found out what was going on. Well Samantha, (the 15 y/o) was placed on Probation for it, (PINS) and was doing ok for a while.. well here we are a few years later and this young lady decides that she no longer likes school and is not going to go and does not care about the law.. Now she is not a bad Kid, She stays home and never runs the streets.. But thats the problem.. She likes to saty home, which means no school... Well the judge gave her to me instead of placing her in a home in New Jersey. So now she is back in school and just finished her 10th full day of it this past friday. reminder, school started last Sept.. so ten full days since Sept. LOL... But she now has no choice or she will never be placed back with her mother and as long as she is on probation she can not quit school even if she turns 16.. Bummer for her.. But she is going and she is playing the game the way she needs to in order to see her Mom or even to be placed back home with her mom.... But in all things are going well... I am glad I took her..

OK Now I am done... I know about time huh? Hey I had a lot to say this time.. Besides it might be a few weeks before I post again.. LOL... OK I hope you all have a wonderful week to come and I will be checking out all the blogs and commenting tonight. I promise... LOL... HUGGZ ALL

72 Degrees to 20

2005-12-08T10:25:00.000-05:00

Well I Have come home from 72 degree temps to this. Yep we got a snow storm hit us the day I arrived home which was Tuesday and the snow did not stop till Late last night. I hear the town I live in got 24" on top of what we already had. Which means we got about 3 feet of snow here.. It is beautiful to look at when your inside and warm. but man is it cold outside. Think I need a warmer climate to live in, LOL. But like I told everyone, I just can't live where there is nothing but cement. Oh Well looks like I stay here a few more years. Or at least till the Grandchildren are grown and no longer so cute. LOL

this shows how deep

In California

2005-12-01T14:44:00.000-05:00

this is Amanda..Jade's DIL. She asked me if I would guest blog for her this week. She just left for California to visit her daughter today. Her Murphy's Law theory and horoscope could not have been more correct.

to start her car would not start cost her over $500 to fix it. She then decides screw this car she has had since 94 (drove it off the lot). She then goes car shopping and fell in love with a 99 Blazer. She then says ok I am going to buy this. She and her hubby go to the dealership to get it and they say well it doesn't pass inspection yet so we can't let you have it yet. I guess the battery died and when that happens on those types of vehicles I guess you have to drive it until the computer "clicks" on to be normal again. After about 5-7 trips about 30 miles away to see if her truck was ready guess what it was not. Finally on Tuesday they said that they were just going to put a new computer in the Blazer and she would have it late afternoon. Well late afternoon came Tuesday night at 10:30 p.m. and she even drove half way to meet the people. She at least had another vehicle give to her by them to use while they were trying to figure her Blazer out.

Next on her Murphy's Law today while around the airport somehow she dropped her cell phone and the shuttle bus she was taking ran it over. So now she has no way to get in contact with her daughter the way that was planned. Her hubby called me this morning asking me to call Brandy(her daughter) and tell her that she has no cell. So hopefully all goes well there!!!!

First Snow Fall in WNY

2005-11-18T10:09:00.000-05:00

This White Stuff Looks Pretty when you sitting inside looking out the window. But I am not looking forward to a very long winter.. I have a feeling that this is going to be a hard winter this year as I live near the great lakes and the waters are a lot warmer then the air. Hence lots of Lake effect snow. meaning lots of storms coming our way.. YUCK!!!

Murphy’s Law or Bad Day?

2005-11-15T12:09:00.000-05:00

I am wondering if I should crawl into my bed and stay there for the next 3 weeks. That’s what my horoscope says to do. Was told that anything that can go wrong in the next 3 weeks will go wrong.. OK so last night my computer takes a hell of a power surge and it takes me about 3 hours to pull her back. Then this morning I get up and get ready to take my DIL shopping. That was not to be today. I get into my car and the damn thing will not start. The battery is good. But it won’t start. It ran good yesterday to... you see I drive a 94 Mazda 626 ES with 210550 miles on her... I think she is dead... But who knows, Anyhow back on track here... I go to get into my DH’s Ram Charger and the battery on that is DEAD. NOTHING, completely DEAD... OK Now this can’t be happening/ yep it is... So I call the tow truck, they load up the car and jump the truck... I let the truck run for about 30 minutes, and then I drive it to town and back and never shut it off... I get home shut the truck off and finish picking up my house... I go to head out again and the fucking truck is dead again... OK I need to go back to bed now and hope that 3 weeks flies by and I don’t have to see any of it... I am covering my head and that’s that... Yeah right... Got too much to do. So once I get this truck started again I know I can not shut it off. LOL... Man I really need this vacation soon... Leaving on the 1st and will return on the 6th... LA here I come and man could I use that massage ASAP.... OK I am done rambling...

I thought maybe I could come here tonight and post something good for a change. But nope that’s not to happen so you got my bitching instead. LOL

Murphy’s Law or Bad Day?????

Comp Sucks!

2005-11-04T08:27:00.000-05:00

Yes, Workmans Comp really sucks. these people act like the money comes right out of their personal bank accounts. Damn. I have worked hard most of my life.. I get hurt and this is what happens.. Comp took me back to court a few weeks ago after I saw the IME doc. let me tell ya.. I never in my life though a person could determine how disabled you were with just a 3 mintue conversation and grabbing your arm and throwing it up over your head.. The man hurts me. I scream and he tells comp I can go back to work any time and that I can lift up to 20 lbs, just no overhead lifting... Yeah right... I try to lift 20 lbs and I am gonna rip my arm out.. the fucking idiot.. So anyways. I go to court cause comp also knocked me down below what the judge ordered... Well it turns out the Judge raised the order and made sure I was still in VESID..

That was after I started to talk and left my Lawyer sitting with his mouth wide open.. I simple asked the Judge and the comp woman,
1. Do you think I like being in pain all the time?
2. Do you think I like explaining to a 5 and 6 year old they can't hug their Nana because they hurt her.
3. Do you think I like seeing the face of a 2 year old When her Nana can't pick her up?
4. How about the fact I have to wash my hair with one hand.
5. Or I need to ask for help to get dressed.
6. How about having someone else clean your house BECAUSE YOU CAN"T
7. you all think I like having to tell my family I can't do this or that because I am in to much pain ..
The judge seemed to see my side of it to some degree, But the comp woman there was left speechless. LOL

However they kept me as part temp disabled.. So Now I have to go look for work and deliver a work journel to comp by Dec. Fun WOW, But I am going to make it good, I refuse to lie.. so with every interview I go on, I am telling them I am on comp and telling them my limitations. LOL... Let comp figure out why no one is hireing me. LOL... But there are good sides to all this I think...

Today I have Pain & Torture, and then at 1:00 pm I go to the college and talk to them about what classes are best for me.. VESID will pay for up to 4 years depending on what I take and Where.. Also depending on if I can get a job with a 2 year degree or not.. So I will find out today. Still not sure what I want to be when I grow up. LOL.. I can tell ya I will be taking classes either in Human Services OR Mental Health Assisstant.. Either way when I am all done. I will be working with Children. But I won't be a teacher.. that I could not do.. I love Kids. But the ONLY kids I am spending 6 to 8 hours a day with will be my grandchildren. LOL...

OK thats my bitching for the week. I am sure I will be back soon to bitch some more, or maybe one of these days I will come and have all good news. LOL... Huggz to all & have a great weekend

My Email Funnies

A woman calls her boss one morning and tells him that She is staying home because she is not feeling well. "What's the matter?" he asks "I have a case of anal glaucoma," she says in a weak voice. "What the hell is anal glaucoma?"

"I can't see my ass coming into work today

To Think or Not???

2005-09-27T11:01:00.000-04:00

I know, I really shouldn't "think". I have been told many times over the years that "thinking" was not one of my better qualities. But I never was a very good listener . My Mom use to tell me that when I would "think", she had to get out the hose for fear I would just burn up my brain with all that smoke.

So I tried not to "think" to much, which of course has gotten me into some real trouble over the years.. Like now.. this shoulder of mine, LOL... No I am not complaining today, OK well maybe a little, But I can. this is my blog and I can do anything I want with it . Here is where you can Blame Hoss... He told me it was never to early to take a pain pill... Now they just mess up my "thinking" big time. lol

Anyhows, back to what I was saying! What was I saying again? Oh yeah. my shoulder thingy, I keep forgetting I can't left my arm on its own and wouldn't ya know it.. something will happen, like dropping a glass and what do I do? I reach out with my bad arm to catch it.. all I can say is OUCH that EFFIN hurt.. OK so thats not really the word I used. But ya know what I mean. see again "thinking" not only gets me into trouble. But hurts like hell to...

Then of course I get to "thinking" I am gonna blog.. (see I am trying this again) and then more "thinking"... "thinking" it will work this time and if it doesn't then it was not meant of all of my 2 readers to read. umm must be I was gonna lie about something good. LOL.. But here I am giving it a try...If it don't work this time then I am just gonna go scream.... Oh wait I do that a lot anyways....

OK Now heres some more "thinking"... I know I know, I should have learned all these years.. But Hey what can I say.. anyhows again, I get to "thinking" again that I am gonna get this house back into shape and cleaned up.. (I never said I wasn't lazy) But what do I do instead? I sit down at this computer and read emails and talk on yahoo (hehe only if you know I am on, I like to hide) and then come here and have to get my daily dose of Blog reading in.... So yes I do read all the blogs.. just don't always comment.. I know I am bad.. But hey I am "thinking" and By now you know this is not a good thing...

So Now I am "thinking" I need to go get my dishes done and then get started on Laundry.. I am also "thinking" it may be time for me to get started on all my outside work.. Like getting the yard mowed and the weeds all cut down.. the cleaning the garage, cleaning the fire pit, moving the burn barrel as I don't "think" I like it where it is.. then getting all my patio furniture ready to be put away...Clean all my windows.. "Think" I will make one of my sons do that. Oh and I am sure there is a ton more to do out there.....

Now here I go "Thinking" again.... I "Think" we are going to have a bad winter this year.. and let me tell you. I am going to complain.. I don't mind it being cold outside at all.. I like it when it is cooler weather.. But man I hate that White shit that comes with it... it makes the roads hard to drive on when your sliding all over the place... "Thinking" I am going to become a hermit this winter and just stay inside till it is all gone again.. Yeah I know Stop that "thinking"...

Oh to let you all know... The Wedding went beautiful this past weekend.. they are now legally married.. Humm, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

OK my brain has had enough with all this "thinking" this morning so I am off to get started on some of the things I was "THINKING" about doing.. Have a great day ... **HUGGZ**

Who likes to Type?

2005-09-22T09:30:00.000-04:00

Well about 2 hours ago, I posted this really long post telling you all about the last two weeks in the life of Jade, and would you believe I wasn't even complaining.. I had an awesome two weeks... But the damn internet Fuck Up Fairy was here and whipped it all out... But now I ain't gonna complain about it. LOL, All i am gonna say is I could not get it all back, and that was just to much damn typing to retype it all again.. and yep I did click on the recover.. But nope it does not wanna work for me... So I will say that I have had a good two weeks with friends and family.. Now my shoulder still is Killing me and of course Workmans Comp has denied any therapy until after I seen the IME doctor, well I saw him Monday and today is thursday and still no call.. Now I am not complaining on this either. I been in a lot of pain from my Pain & Torture Sessions.. So I need the break. But come on, How can they just deny therapy like that? I am so sick of this company, Wish I could just settle out.. well no I don't but I am so tired of this company running my life right now.... OK well Now I am off to go pick up our new truck.. Yep Hubby bought a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer LXT .. this damn thing does everything but wipe your ass for you.. I also have a wedding I am performing on Sun, (yes I am an ordained minister) so I doubt I will be here for a few days. Have a Wonderful Weekend Folks... Huggz

Life

2005-09-01T12:02:00.000-04:00

I want to say that my Heart goes out to all of those hit By Hurricane Katrina.. The devestation there is heart wrenching... I have a friend who was very lucky and did not get hit as hard. Her home is outside of Mobile and her family is doing well... As I am no where nears rich, I have donated money to the Red Cross.. I was unable with surgery to donate blood .. Wish there was more I could do.. I watch the News and just want to cry Knowing these people have lost so much. and to those who have lost family members and loved ones. I send Healing energies to them all.... Please Folks, Donate what you can. I am sure every dollor helps. As the Red Cross can not take donations of clothing, Canned Goods, Furniture, or any items like that. Please If you can't donate a few dollors, Volunteer.. they need all the help they can get right now....

DONATIONS

Looks like I owe you all a few post.. sorry I have not been here in a while. But I am here tonight. LOL.. No really I am gonna try to be here more often,

But tonight you kinda get a few post in one..
First one:
My Visit with my daughter.. Let me tell you. it was awesome..
Heres a little about a rough situation. I did not get to raise my daughter.. Nope her father raised her out in California and I am from NY.. So she grew up, YES I will say it.. a Valley Girl, Sorry Brandy. But it is true. LOL.. Well, I wasn't lucky enough to get to see her grow up. But I do give some credit to her father as she turned out to be a very wonderful person inside and out.
We had a lot of fun. This was her 2nd visit to NY, She got to go to a small county fair, be in the car with her mom when a tree limb grew up real fast and smacked the back of my car, go to her Aunts wedding, go to Niagara Falls, and of course spend her Moms money shopping at the mall. LOL... We had a Family BBQ where we made ribs and the works, and she got to Play foot ball with her 2 brothers who grew up here with me.. We had the best time.. She got on the plane in tears as was I when she left.. I miss her so much. BUT, I get to see her again this Winter when I go to CA to Visit her. We will now see each other twice a year.. She will come here in the Summer and I there in the Winter.. works for me. LOL...

Second One:
OK Now for a little funny storie.. My Hubby decided that we needed to go grocery shopping since Katrina hit so hard down south. He figured the rain would be bad here or something. Well off we go to BJ's, (same as Sam's Club or Cosco's) He spent a lot of money... Anyhows, I was standing there looking at some things decideing if I wanted them or not with 2 carts full of food when this Older woman came up to me, Looked at my caret and said:
Old Woman = Miss, How long do you think all that food will last you?
Jade = Oh About a month to 6 weeks
Old Woman = Really? you go through it that fast? is it just you and your husband?
Jade = Yes we do go through it fast, Not just 2 of us. But I also have 5 grandchildren and my son & daughter in law.
Old Woman = WOW, you do not look Old enough to have ANY grandchildren.
Jade = Thank you
We both go about our business oh for a about 10 secounds,
(10 sec pause)
Old Woman turns around looks at me and then Pats my GOOD SHOULDER and says
Old Woman = Good Luck Dear, I think your gonna need it...

at this point, if I had been sitting I would have fallen right out of my chair.. I laughed so hard I was bent over... this woman must have thought I was nuts... But I stood, got my composer back and again, said Thank you... so about 500 dollors later and a good laugh we headed home...
Now that was a good day...

Now I bet your all wondering how my shoulder is huh?
it is doing better... I still have no use of it and am in PT 3 times a week.. But I am learning to cope with the though of not having much use of it ever again.. The pain is still there and I am still taking the pain meds. But the drs. did cut the mg down. so with luck, I will be off them in about a year.. But I will be in PT for the next 2 years at best.. Looks like I see no money any time soon.. But thats OK, I need the money, But Going through VESID I should be starting school soon... so yep.. ya'll I am going to be a councler for teens of drug & alocohol and also for run aways.. Wish me luck, I think I am gonna need it. LOL...
More to come later, Huggz to all and Lots of Healing energies to those in Need...

Body Parts or a Life for Sale???

2005-08-16T00:25:00.000-04:00

Yes I am now looking to buy a new arm. One that works, One that can be moved above the head when streaching. One the can hold a cup or even a cigarette for more then 3 secounds. One that can open or close a car door, One that can put a dish away on the top shelf. Oh Hell Just give me one that works better then the one i have and without any pain at all.. the thought that I can't even move this damn arm by itself for the next 6 weeks, yep you heard right. the next 6 weeks and that only depends on if I can get back into theraphy soon.. Workmans Comp is taking their damn sweet time at giving the OK...

How long do these people expect me to live like this?? I get people trying to tell me not to worry my settlement will be larger. Ya know, I don't really care about the money.. I want my arm back.. I am so tired of living on pain pills, besides they are not working to well anymore. I been on them so long it feels like I don't even take them... Then tonight a friend comes up and gives me a hug, one I have not seen since High School. it was nice to see him, But damn that hurt, LOL

OK can ya'll tell I am in a bitchy mood tonight... Tomorrow I have a drs appointment and I hope he does something about this pain. and if he moves it up above my waist again I just might shoot him... OK enough, I will stop complaining for now.. I am just to tired to keep it going, LOL... So I am off to bed and will blog again real soon....

Huggz to all
next blog will be all about my visit with my daughter last week and a few funny stories just might pop up, LOL, Night all

Sex Fairy! YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2005-08-15T02:17:00.000-04:00

This is hilarious! Be sure to read the warning at the bottom. I didn't change a word! I'm not messing with the Sex Fairy!

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.

2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.

3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!

5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.

8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

This message has been sent to you for good luck in sex. The original is in a room in the basement of the Dwight House Pub. It has been sent around the world nine times. Now sex has been sent to you. The "Hot Sex Fairy" will visit you within four days of receiving this message, provided you, in turn, send it on. If you don't, then you will never receive good sex again for the rest of your life. You will eventually become celibate, and your genitals will rot and fall off. This is no joke! Send copies to people you think need sex (who doesn't?). Don't send money, as the fate of your genitals has no price. Do not keep this message. This message must leave your e-mail in 96 hours. Please send ten copies and see what happens in four days. Since the copy must tour the world, you must send it. This is true, even if you are not superstitious.

Relaxing Saturday!!!!

2005-08-13T12:44:00.000-04:00

So far this is turning out to be a relaxing day. I am spending my day not doing any running round. I am sitting home cleaning my house and playing on the computer. Tunes turned way up and Rocking to a little old rock with a mix of country. Yes I like all music except for rap, Now rap has to be the worst crap I have ever heard. But to each their own on that as long as I don't have to hear it. ..

Well I do feel like complaining and Bitching for a bit. Guess what??? ya'll get to hear about it. hehe...I will start with the fact that instink really sucks. talk about pain. for some reason when I take my pain pills, they tend to work well enough that I forget I can't use my arm at all.. so the other day I drop a plate and what do I do??? I try to grab it with the arm that don't move.. Now how stupid can I be? I know I can't use that arm, hell it hurts to even try.. But do you think I would realize it. oh hell no.. not me... but hey I guess you will have that..

Confession time,
the below post was added by my wonderful DIL.. she will be adding to this blog at any time.. so you never know what she will add. LOL.. anyways make sure you check out her blog as well OK.. just click here
AMANDA. I am sure she would love to hear from ya'll on her side to..

Family & Luck

2005-08-09T09:35:00.000-04:00

As luck would have it, I have no luck at all..
Now don’t get me wrong, I have gone through surgery an am well on my way to mending and feeling great these days. See I am posting, LOL. However I have had a bad run of luck with a whole lot of visiting and love going on here. Lets see if I can’t rehash some of the past week..

July / Had surgery, no luck there, but lots of pain to follow and therapy is not for the weak let me tell you, that shit hurts like hell.. as you read they did a lot of work. However I am moving my arm a lot better. Typing is still a challenge. But hey I am up for it.

Now to tell you about the first week of August. This has really been a challenge.. First of all My Daughter and her boyfriend is visiting from Los Angeles Ca. what a wonderful visit this has been.. We have done all kinds of things.. They arrived last Thursday morning.. We went and visited family most of the day and my daughter got to see her brothers for the 2nd time.. She says she feels like he is home. That’s a good feeling..

Friday we went to a little county fair and had a good time.. Well heres where my luck starts, We got to the fair and I had a free pass to get us in. Well I had to park in the front and then go get the pass. Come back and go park my car back in the parking lot. But heres the problem. I have been cleared to drive. But I can not turn my body around to look out the back window. Has luck would have it, I didn’t see the tree behind me nor in any of my mirrors and WAM I ran right smack into a hanging branch as I was backing up. Dented the back end of my car. Yep, great big dent in the TOP of the side panel right next to the trunk. Now I swear that damn branch grew just in time for the tree to jump out behind me.. ask my daughter, she will tell you.. lol..
(ok, this is where I go for coffee, hey I just woke up)

Sat / well my sisters wedding was beautiful and so was my sister. All I can say is WOW.. is was a wonderful day for all. I got to see family members I have not seen in years and my Daughter got to meet a lot of family. (She grew up in L.A with her father, long story) She had such a wonderful time. Looking at her face the whole day while the family hugged on her was amazing. But then my daughter is amazing anyways.

Sun / we went to Niagara Falls for the day. Now we had a good group going here. My Son and Wonderful DIL , My 2nd son and his girlfriend and my daughter and her boyfriend went and of course me. LOL... it was an awesome day.. They all went in the cave of the winds. Which if you don’t know what that is, it is the cave that runs behind the falls.. lots of steps lol.. then we found time to run to the Casino and have dinner.. After dinner we walked over to the Canadian side of the falls.. Did ya ever notice that most places that tourist go are geared towards the Americans?? We walked Clifton Hill and every shop there had almost the same things in them. What a disappointment that was. But still we had a good time and got home about 2:30 AM

Mon/ we went to pick up my niece and go shopping. Well leaving her parking lot. WHAM again this time a car backed right out into me.. got the other side of my car. I swear this time it was not my fault.. this guy never saw me and ran right smack into me. Well the good news is. NO DAMAGE to either car.. good thing. But I was pissed. But I had to realize I had just done the same thing with a tree a few days prior.. So I didn’t yell at him.. See I am getting better...

Tues / Today / we are spending the day with the family as going to have a first time ever Family Picture done with the Kids all grown up.. will be the last one as a family like that I am sure as all my kids hate to have their pics taken LOL, and then tomorrow my daughter and her boyfriend go back to L.A.

I am really going to miss her. Nut I am sure we will go back to talking at least 30 times a day by cell phone and emailing and talking on yahoo.. Then as the cold weather comes back upon this part of NY I will then fly to L.A. and Maybe AZ for a few weeks.. Now that’s what I call a vacation. Lol...

I want to thank all of you who have emailed and left comments here for me.. You are all wonderful and a big HUGG goes out to you all...

Any Spelling Mistakes are that of Word Doc not mine. Just thought I would throw that part in for good measure. LOL

Did You Know???

2005-06-16T10:33:00.000-04:00

1.If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

(Hardly seems worth it.)

2.If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

(Now that's more like it!)

3.The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

(O.M.G.!)

4.A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

(wow! I'm impressed)

5.A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.

(Creepy.)

(I'm still not over the pig)

6.Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

(Do not try this at home - maybe at work)

7.The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.

("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

8.The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

(30 minutes... lucky pig - can you imagine??)

9.The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

10.Some lions mate over 50 times a day

(I still want to be a pig...quality over quantity)

11.Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know)

12.Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

13.Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump

(OK, so that would be a good thing......)

14.A cat's urine glows under a black light.

(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

15.An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

(I know some people like that)

16.Starfish have no brains.

(I know some people like that, too.)

17.Polar bears are left-handed.

(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)

18.Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

(What about that pig??)

Time Off ? Yeah Right

Opening Cerimoney

I am sitting here with my first cup of coffee this morning thinking how much I would love to just take a month and relax. Yeah Right, thats not gonna happen. But we compermised, I get two weeks. OK so I lied, I got shafted again and have a meeting today to disguss some ideas for next years event. Oh well, excitment will get you everytime. LOL

The Mystic Festival was a hit. We didn't hit our personal goals that we would have liked. But the fact remains we had a great time. Above is a pic of our Opening Cerimoney with the Vendors and a couple of spectators. Saturday, the first day of our festival started out to be sunny and then moved into clouds really fast. We all thought it was gonna rain. But that never happened. We had a nice day.. We had lots of workshops going on all day and our Pyschics did awesome. But I think the high light of the whole festival was our Authors. They were awesome. By the end of the weekend it was like I had known them for many years and was amoung family.

M.R Sellars is one of the finniest people I have ever met. He kept us on our toes all weekend.

Edain McCoy is just awesome, Funny, Sweet, and felt like I had known her for years.

Rhiannan Skye was Just Sweet and made ya wanna hug her

Steven Creech is just amazing, Glad I finally got to put the name & ace togeather and seems like I have known him a life time. LOL

Bernice Golden, all I can say about her, She is really an amazing person inside and out..

So in all this weekend was just amazing and to know we helped a child right from my home town was nice. I can't wait for next years event and when i get ll my pics I will be sure to post some more of the weekend...

Now for those who do not know what the Mystic Festival was, LOL.. it was an event I am co-founder of that we started last year. We have tons of Vendors, Pyschics, Authors, and many other events that go on to raise money for Make A Wish. This event caused some high emotions in the community. We got a hard time for some of the people cause they thought this was an pagan event. in reality it was not.. it was an event that was to help raise money.. My personal opinion is I realy don't care what a persons religion is. We are all differant and all valid in whatever beliefs we all have. But when it comes to Children, I have a soft spot and want to help.

Ya know I wish people could put a side religious beliefs for a weekend and just help out the children. Life would be a better place if no one worried about the others peoples beliefs. oh well, I guess you can't change the world over night. LOL.. So in all I am back ...

FINALLY

2005-06-02T20:47:00.000-04:00

I am so tired.. But it is finally here. The Mystic Festival. So as of Tomorrow I will be gone until Monday.. Then I can start working on getting all my sanity back. OK well maybe not all of it as I lost most years ago.. But enough to help me make it through till next years event. LOL.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I will be back with pictures and and to tell ya all about it... Now if anyone is close to the WESTERN NY AREA... Please come on by.. you are sure to have a blast...

Huggz to all of you

Got any Ideas??

2005-05-31T00:50:00.000-04:00

What do I want to be when I grow up? Now this is a hard question for me to answer right now. I am really confused as to what direction I want to take with my life at this point.

Do not dismiss your dreams. to be without dreams

is to be with out hope, to be without hope is to be

without purpose.

OK I will try to fill you in a bit in case I lost anyone. I do that a lot. But it is worse when I lose me. and that happens more then I care to admit at times. But I normally find myself at some point. Now where was I? OH YEAH, me and my problems of course. LOL..

For those of you who don't know, or for those who do but forgot I complained about it.. LOL... A few years ago I got hurt at work.. what a night that was.. there I am soldering rotors for alternators that go in Everything from Semis to Military Hummers to small motor boats. This night it was small 8lb rotors. As I was just starting the 2nd half of my night with already something like 300 parts done, I was handed one of these rotors and was placing it into the desktop whole for soldering when everyone in my cell heard the loudest POP you could imagine. Yep over Machinery so loud it would make you go HUH? for a month after being there for an hour. Anyhows, we all heard the POP and then me screaming FUCK.. (yes I said that word). I grabbed my arm and just held it, with in secounds my whole shoulder swelled up and was so huge that it was about 2 feet higher then the other one.. you think I am imagining this? OK maybe it wasn't 2 feet high. But you see where I am going don't ya?

Well at that point I walked over to our lead person.. Now I want you to really pay attention to this part OK. Our Lead Person was trained in first aide and was part of the first aide team. She was acting supervisior for the night as well.. OK Now this all gets good.. I told her what happened.. ok I will try to act this out for ya. name change.. 8:05 pm

Jade - (walked up to acting supervisor, while holding my arm inside my Biboveralls) Bitch, I just did something to my shoulder.

Bitch - What did you do?

Jade - I am not sure, was getting ready to solder a part when my shoulder made a loud pop and pain ran through from my shoulder down to my hand.

Bitch - Oh, Well I surpose you want to go home then? (remind you, I was never one for leaving work, no money in that)

Jade - No, not without filling out an accident report first. Besides I am not going home, I am going to the ER.

Bitch - Well I can get to the accident reports, they are locked up in Big Guys office (another name change / the reports are always on a desk outside Big Guys office)

Jade - Then what am I surpose to do? I am not going to the ER or home, nor leaving work until I fill out the report. (by this time I am getting pissed and I am already in lots of pain. not a good combo)

Bitch - Well your gonna have to go back to work then and wait for 3rd shift supervisior to come in at 11pm. (shift ends at midnight)

Jade - OK Whatever, How the Fuck you want me to work like this?

Bitch - I am sure you will think of someway to do it. (this is where I walk away while muttering under my breath that she is a fucking stupid bitch)

remind you, she is on the first aide team and not once did she ask to look at my shoulder.

I go back to my work station and where I proceeded to solder parts with one arm. Now for this job it takes 2 hands to do. first I have to place rotor in whole. then strip the plastic off the wires, wrap the wires around 2 small prongs on rotor. then hold gun in one hand and solder in the other while soldering the wires to the prongs.then move part to rake on other side of me. Easy job? Well yeah if I had 2 hands to do the job. Well need to say, we did not make our numbers that night. Now here comes some more stupidity..it is 11:10pm when Bitch walks up to me in the cell

Bitch - Jade, 3rd shift sup is here. do you still need to fill out an accident report?

Jade - Standing with my mouth dropped while my arm is resting inside my overalls, my shoulder swelled and raised well higher then the other one, and before I could say the words " Well duh" the bitch walks away from me

About 2 minutes passed and the other girl who worked in the cell with me, went over to the bitch and said "YES, she does need to go fill out the report, she is no good to anyone right now." the bitch walks back over to me. By this time it is 11:20 pm (shift ends at Midnight)

Bitch - Jade, come with me. 3rd shift sup is in her office.

Jade - Finally, I follow

I then go in and fill out the report with the 3rd shift sup who at this point is pissed at the bitch for making me work the last 4 hours of the night. She ask me if I want to head right out and come back later and clock out. But I won't be paid over time. so I said no and waited the last 20 minutes by this time to go home. But told not to clean up my area and to just sit and relax until midnight. so I did just that..

I went to the ER after that and found out I had torn my shoulder up pretty bad.. well this is where I been out of work every since. I have had one surgery on my shoulder already and waiting for another one as soon as Workmans Comp appoves it. and trust me, they are taking there sweet ass time about it. Lets see, the New Dr wanted to do it last sept and this is the last day of May. talk about slow.. Well anyways LOL..

I go to court for W.C and the judge tells me to go to VESID and sign up. Well VESID is a program that will help to retrain you at something else or send you to school to learn a new trade. I get to go to school.. so this is where I am confused, Because everything they said I would excel at I hate. for example Culunary arts.. What are they NUTZ??? I been cooking for years. I HATE cooking.. Not that I can't cook, I just hate to cook... so now what? of course I have to wait some more because after surgery I am going to have over an 75 to 80% loss of my left arm.. which is OK if I have no more pain.But leave me limited on the things I can do..

So now it is a matter of deciding what would I like to do and will I be able to do it after the surgery? you see I have to decide this because they can have me in College by Sept of this year. OK so now what do I do?

OK now that you all know.. what the hell do I do? lol anyone have any good ideas they can throw at me? all Ideas are welcomed..

As for the problem I had over last weekend with the girl who was in the hospital. Well she has decided that she wanted to end our friendship. That is OK. I was upset at first about it. But then relized that it is just time for her to move on. This is good for her and is what she needs at this point in her life. Friends come into our lives for a reason and when they leave. That just means that it was time and they are needed else where. She will always be in my heart and I wish her the best of luck with all she incounters in life. May the Goddess always keep her safe..

2005-05-22T22:48:00.000-04:00

My weekend started off a little rough.. I am feeling really bad right now.. A very good friend of mine, Well more like my daughter went into detox last Wed.. Well she asked me to come see her and on friday I was gonna. However it didn't workout that way.. I would not have had a problem getting in as I was going in as her minister, (yes, I am an ordained minister) But as I am a sponcer to three others, I ran into the problem of another person who decided she was gonna jump not fall off the wagon so to speak. I spent the day trying to talk this girl out of it and that didn't happen. Need to say I never made it over to see the one in detox. When I called her to explain that I would not make it, She got upset with me, asked me how I could be her sponcer if I couldn't be there when she needed me.. But the point I was looking at, she was in the hosital and this other person was not.. I was Kinda in a hard spot there and She had to be dissapointed... well I spoke to her on Saturday morning and she said she would call me back, But I have not heard from her since.. for this i am sorry. But I had no choice but to do what I did.. OK enough of this...

Saturday and Sunday I did hide, well sort of, LOL ... Saturday I went and took my neice to Pioneer Days in Gowanda.. A small carnival.. it was nice watching 14 & 15 year old girls flirt with the carny guys, LOL.. Oh to be 15 again.. then I got home and shut off the cell phone and didn't answer the house phone all night...

Oh At the carnival, that tuned out not to be so cool in the end.. they had to shut down all the rides.. I have never really seen it in person until this. But two children no more then 6 to 8 years old had fallen out of one of the rides.. it was horrible as I saw it happen... the good part was that when they fell out, they were at ground level.. it looked like the bar that was surpose to hold them in there seats did not latch.. The one child walked away with a broken arm.. the other child was not so lucky, they took him out strapped to board and neck brace and all.. he did not look good and was not even awake during this.. I felt so bad not only for the children involved but for their parents.. they were horrified... don't know what happen to the child But I do pray he will be OK...

Sunday (today) I stayed home, well went to the store but other then that, I was home and nope no phone calls were taken. the Kids where all here and we had our cookout.. Ribs, Mac Salad, corn on the cob, and lots of junk food, LOL... it was very relaxing and nice to have a day for me and not be running around with my head cut off...

Now, Hiding is over.. I am back to the grind tomorrow morning... there is still so much to do yet for this festival.. But I am happy with it so far.. Just wish I had more Vendors is all... But in all I think it will turn out OK..

I am off to read and comment on all the other blogs now, LOL.. Hope everyone has an awesome week, and please pray for the children hurt over the weekend.. Huggz All...

Week is OVER !!!

2005-05-20T23:19:00.000-04:00

Well here I am again, What a week I have had... I think it has been a week from hell or damn close to it... I have been working my ass off with this Mystic Festival , Then trying to be there for the people who all seem to need me. Yet everything this week has gone wrong.. But no need to cry about it.. the week is over. So tomorrow I am taking the day for me.. I don't even care what anyone thinks, I am going to take the day and just go do some fun things.. I am not sure what yet., But I am going.. I am thinking of spending the day at a carnival and checking out the Harley Vendors or maybe go to the Harley shop and see what they got new, I need some new Tank tops anyways... Mine are all kinda worn out. LOL but then I have owned them all for years.. yeah I guess it is time for some new ones.. Sunday the Kids and Grandkids will be here. So we are going to cook some BBQ ribs and make some Mac & tuna Salad, Maybe do up a veggie wrap as well... it will be a good relaxing weekend in all...

OK so maybe I am dreaming of the relaxing weekend, But one can hope right? Maybe if I shut off my cell phone, refuse to answer my house phone. pretend I am not home when someone knocks on the door, I might get it.. Yep I am thinking that hiding might be a good way to get that relaxing weekend... of course it is always relaxing when I have the family here.. they make everything I do worth it...

OK thats about it for tonight. I hope I have more to write about over the weekend.. But I am off this computer and gonna go read some..
I hope everyone has an awesome weekend...

Here & There

2005-05-13T01:10:00.000-04:00

Hey I am back. But only for a short post.
I have been real busy, As most know I went through my mourning stage. Well I guess thats a stage I will always be in. But I am doing OK.. I have kept myself Busy. I am one of the founders of The Mystic Festival held in Warsaw NY and it has turned out to be a lot of hard work. But I have to say it is all work I do so enjoy. I know it will all be worth it when I hear that a child got a wish come true because of all the wonderful people in WNY. Lets See, ya wanna hear about my week? are ya sure? LOL. ok you asked for it.. LOL
Monday - I spent my day cleaning the house and sitting at my computer. But I did manage to get a nap in.. what a nice day that was.

Tuesday - I went to the Eye Drs. OK I was not thrilled about this at all, I walked out of there feeling either really old or just Blind. you see I kinda skipped a stage.. yep, I skipped right over Bifocals and went right to Trifocals.. WOW.. that was something to hear let me tell ya. But if ya thought that was bad. My bill was even worse then the fact I felt old or blind or both.. here I am trying to get out of debt and I think I just gave up my right arm so I could see again.. But then I also had to get two pair of glasses instead of one.. I figured if I was going to spend the money; I would look good. LOL, So I got a 2nd pair for Sun glasses. they cost me $123.00 just to look cool or is that just to keep the sun out of these old eyes.. hummm. have to ponder that one... But then the rest was spent on the trifocals.. yep, $240.00 so that I can sit at my computer all day and be able to read a book with out getting a headache. so in all about $415.00 total it cost me before 10 am.... Damn I need a better paying job...

Wed - I had to go to Warsaw and take Pics of hanging Witches for the Web site. this is for the People I work for advertising... Fun I tell ya.. NOT!!! Now I have to get busy again.Check them out and buy something, they need the money to pay me. LOL the Place is called The New Farm it is a co- op of Antique & Craft Vendors.. lots of cool stuff there to... But also where the Mystic Festival is being held... I was also going to fix a computer for a girl over there. But she was not there. I hate when people make appointments with me and then don't bother to call me and say they won't be home.. it just waste my time and proceeds to piss me off...Also on this day I wrote 178 emails to potential Vendors...OK this day over..

Thurs - Home all day, I went out long enough to pick up my glasses and came right back home.. the day was off for some reason. almost like there was something wrong with the world.. Which I think there was.. But who am I? I even stayed off the computer for the day.. YES ME. lol.. well till now anyways...

Fri - I have a drs appointment in the morning.. But then nothing, I am coming back home to maybe clean my house.. yes I have done some cleaning this week. But now it needs a good scrubbing... and the wonderful job of laundry... so fun wow.. then the weekend..I hope it is better then my week. LOL

SO there you have it. my boreing week.. But hey I have come out of hiding for a little while.. I may not be here to post to often for the rest of the month.. I will update when I can as the Mystic Festival is taking up a lot of my time.. But I promise to read and comment on all your blogs,

OK I am off for the night... Night All

Quorry & Amanda; I want to wish you a wonderful 5 year Anniversary... I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend... I love you both Very Much..

“ When Tomorrow Starts Without Me”

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In the Summerlands far away,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love today.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
But then I realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through the Summerlands
I felt so much at home.
When the Goddess looked down and smiled at me,
From Her place in my new home,
She said "This is not eternity",
As I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
And now at last you're free.
To walk the Summerlands as you please.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For over time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
By Unknown

Missing my Friend

2005-05-03T22:32:00.000-04:00

I wasn't gonna blog about this. I was gonna hold it in cause I felt like, If I let it all out then I would lose the rest of my Baby. Well I have to say that I know now, loseing him is never gonna happen. This man will be in my heart & soul forever. Yes I am talking about the same man that Magz was talking about. The one and the only Rev. Bones,

This man was a big part of who I am today. There wasn't nothing he did not know about me. He knew every part of my life and he knew me. Hell he knew me better then I knew me. If ever I had a soul mate in life it was Bones. He never judged me. He always gave good sound advise. He was always there when I needed him no matter what. We talked every night and every morning and sometimes 3 to4 times a day rather it was by internet or phone..
I don't have that now. I know it has been less then a week. Yet I feel so lost. I feel like a part of me died with him. I have tried everything to keep my mind busy. from watching grandchildren all weekend to just diving right into my work. But in the end. Bones is the one I think about and wonder why this had to happen. He was one of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I don't think I will ever know another the way I did him. He made promises to me the night before. I have to say he kept them promises. I just wish he would not have kept them in the manner he did.

I am happy that there was no suffering.. But then he suffered all his life in one way or another. But I know he is in a better place now. I know there is no more pain and I know that this is what was meant. But it still don't stop the pain I feel every time I wake or sleep to know he is not there for me to pick up the phone and talk to anymore. I can't hear his voice nor will I ever feel him hug me again.
Well not in this world anyway. I know that I will see him again someday.

Kinda like what Magz told me. "Look for that raggy looking kitty that needs some love." But rather it be this lifetime or maybe another. I know that we will see each other again and the next time it will be better for both of us. Yes like I said, if ever I had a soul mate in life, it was him..

I have to say that Bones was really one hell of a man, a biker, a rev. He was the best any one could have asked for in life rather it was to be his friend or his lover or anything in between. he had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. When he gave he gave all of himself. there was nothing he left out. People did matter to him. He loved People and he loved helping them. So I know that he is now wrapped in all the love he so deserved. I know the light shines bright upon him, and if there are Angles as I know there are. then he is one today. I know he has the wings and the halo.. LOL, yep he has a halo ... I also know he is looking down on all his family and friends and will always be watching. He will let us all know when we are doing wrong in his own way. So I will mourn his passing and I will miss him more then words could ever express. But I know he is with me for he is in my heart. SO what little time we had is OK. for that time was better then not having any at all or never haveing the pleasure of knowing him.

Bones:
May the Lord & Lady wrap you in all their love and may you shine on as bright as the sun... I will always love & miss you till we meet again.

Can you Guess GEL's Nick Name????

2005-04-24T22:25:00.000-04:00

I am sorry I almost forgot this tonight. LOL
OK Everyone you have 1 week for this game.. after 3 days G.E.L will give us all hints, So the first hint will be on Wed. is that cool GEL? But this one is a little different from mine and Lois Lanes . The way this one is working is, we are not guessing GEL's first name. We are guessing the nick name she was given in School, and sorry I already tried Sexy Lady, as Sexy was part of one, it is not the one she choose for this game, LOL.. So anyone wanna give this a shot? Come on People lets have some FUN.. LOL....

Life is Good !!!!

2005-04-24T21:54:00.000-04:00

Well I figured I would come and give a short blog tonight...
My day went really good for me. thats a good sign, But then things have been going pretty good for about 4 days now.. No my shoulder is still in pain and that part of life sucks still, But with any luck they will appove the surgery and then that will get better to...

The reason the last 3 or 4 days have gone so well is because. As some of you know I am helping to organize a Mystic Festival; to benifit "Make A Wish " Foundation. A worthy cause as is any charity that helps children.

So far I have managed to get an awesome band to play for us. they are a few guys formally from the band Kilbrannan. They are awesome. they play Celtic/ Irish music and are amazing guys..

I am waiting on a well known psyhic here in Buffalo , Bernice Golden who also runs her own radio show to return my call with a yes or no. But looks promising as her Office Manager/Attoney said it sounded like something she would love to do.

I am also working on getting the well know Pagan Author Edain McCoy along with a few other Authors to join us for that weekend as well.. I have been emailing with Edain McCoy for a while now and she will be here..

We are still working on getting Vendors as we want many to be there. there is going to be a lot of advertising going on as well. As I am in charge of that, LOL. Hence you will be seeing lots of things posted here advertising the Mystic Festival. LOL.. So at any time you do not see my on the blogs for the next few weeks that will be why. So if anyone wants to come Vend and or do a workshop for us, Please just email me, LOL.. this is going to be a much bigger and better event then last years.. I can't wait. Yes I am also going to be one of the readers for this weekend.

So all of this has happened in the past few days and has made life wonderful for me... this is something that means a lot to me cause I am helpping children out.. I wish more people could see that Children are our future and if we can make life a little better for them then I am all for it...

Well thats about it for tonight I guess.. I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. and has a good week to come... and Please any and all sugestions are more then welcomed.. so if ya have any, Please shoot them my way ok... Huggz to all

2005-04-21T08:06:00.000-04:00

Funny's that Landed in my E-Box

2005-04-20T22:17:00.000-04:00

" True bravery is arriving home late after a boys night out, being assaulted by your missus with a broom, and still having the guts to ask: "Are you cleaning, or were you flying somewhere?"

Adam & Eve

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God…

“Lord, I have a problem!”

“What’s the problem, Eve?”

“Lord, I know you’ve created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious, comedic snake, but I’m just not happy.”

“Why is that Eve,” came the reply from above.

“Lord, I am lonely. And I’m sick to death of apples.”

“Well Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you.” “What’s a man, Lord?”

“This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He’ll lie, cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he’ll give you a hard time. But, he’ll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly aroused, but since you’re complaining, I’ll created him in such a way that he will satisfy your uh, physical needs. He’ll be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won’t be too smart, so he’ll also need your advice to think properly.

“Sounds great,” says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.

“What’s the catch, Lord?”

“Yeah, well…you can have him on one condition.”

“What’s that, Lord?” “As I said, he’ll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring…so you’ll have to let him believe that I made him first…so just remember…it’s our little secret…woman to woman.” HA, HA!!

From My Daughter in Law Amanda

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto, the blockage will be almost instantly removed.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut! yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the toothache.

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.

If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance. And finally, be really nice to your family and friends; you never know when you might need them to empty your bedpan.

Thinking Again !!!!!!!!!!!

2005-04-11T01:15:00.000-04:00

I know better then to do this. I should never think when I have not had any sleep. it' not always a good thing, yet it is the best time for me to sit and ponder on things that really have no points. But then again maybe they do. ya never know with me..

What I want to know is.. Why do most (noticed the key word there) men think that all woman want is for a man to take care of them and buy them pretty things and put a roof over there heads and food and make sure all the bills are paid? Ya know, a lot of woman might like that. I know I am not one of them. I am my own person. I do as I wish. I do come and go as I wish. I do not feel the need for a man to take care of me. I am pretty good at taking care of myself. Have done it for many years. Oh Sure it would be nice to sit home on my ass and watch TV and eat bom boms all day. But come on. why would any woman want to do that?

I keep asking myself what kind of woman am I?
Do I want a man to take care of me?
Do I want to have to ask permission to walk out the door?
Do I want to have to explain everything I do?
Do I want to explain everything I mean when I say something?
Do I want to have to beg for money to go shopping?
Do I want a man who thinks he owns me?
HELL NO to all of the above... I am sure there is many more, LOL, just can't think of them all right now.

I have learned over the years that I am my own woman, I don't need all of them things, I don't need material things.. All I need is a man who will be there no matter what. A man who will not ask me what I did all day and then start a fight cause he didn't like my responces, or he didn't like a certain friend I went to see that day.. ya know I am a big girl and can pick my own friends and take care of myself.

But what I really want to know, and this comes from a lot of things I have read and heard and other stuff all week.... Why would anyone want to be with someone who does not want to be with them? I know that if a person does not want to be with me. then why would I want to stick around? why would I want to make their life hell? would it serve a purpose? not in my book. the only thing it can do is cause more pain..I don't want to cause more pain for anyone. therefore I would do my best to part as friends. Hey lets do coffee sometime, lets say hi when we pass each other in the streets, But lets not keep causeing pain for the other person. lets not try to distroy that other persons life... Let them move on so that the pain can stop. so that maybe they can find someone else who can love them the way they need and want to be loved...

The way I look at thing is like this... when two people are done and over, why try to hurt them more, isn't the pain of knowing it is over hurt enough? why try to distroy there life afterwards? and I say this for no matter who you are... I don't care if it is someone who has cheated on a partner or someone who just wants to end a partnership.. why would you want to keep hurting that person? The one thing I can say about all the Exes in my life and trust me there are many, LOL.. after it was done, I never wanted to continue to hurt them and I never had one want to continue to hurt me or distroy each others lives.. I just don't see the point in it... We all deserve to be happy, yet sometimes we end up with an asshole rather it be male or female who wants to totaly distroy the other person.. they want life to be hell? I have seen people go out of there way to do this to each other. Why? is there really a point to it? or does it just make the other feel like a bigger and better person?
In my book, it makes the other less of a person for doing this to begin with.. when it is over they should just walk away and stop all the hurt and pain. Sure it always hurts at first. But you move on and you find someone better then the last. at least you hope you do. if not you keep looking.. we all have a soul mate out there. sometimes it just takes longer to find them for some, and others find them right away..

But I know that no matter what a person would choose to do to me. I would not fight back and try to distroy their lives. I would let it go.. I would tell them, feel free to do what you feel you need to do to distroy me and get it over with. So that I can pick up the pieces and go on with my life. No I will not fight back to distroy them, there is no need. I am a bigger and better person for that. at least I would like to think so and I would hope my friends and family would think so as well...

OK can ya'll tell that I should not sit up and think? LOL.. I been told thinking is not one of my better qualitys.. one day I might listen LOL.. naw I doubt it.... Tell me what would you all do?
A) Walk away and live your life?
B) try to distroy the others life?

OK I am done for now, maybe.. LOL. don't hit me to bad with the comments I have only had about 6 hours worth of sleep in 5 days... so be kind, LOL

My New Living Will

2005-04-10T21:00:00.000-04:00

New Living Will

I, Jade (or my real name here), being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.

Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of peckerwood politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for a cold beer, it should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my spouse, children and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.

Under no circumstances shall the members of the Legislature enact a special law to keep me on life-support. It is my wish that these boneheads mind their own damn business, and pay attention instead to the health, education and future of the millions of Americans who aren't in a permanent coma.

Under no circumstances shall any politicians butt into this case. I don't care how many fundamentalist votes they're trying to scrounge in their run for re-election. It is my wish that they play politics with someone else's life and leave me alone to die in peace.

I couldn't care less if thousands of mis-guided religious zealots send e-mails to legislators in which they pretend to care about me. I don't know these people, and I certainly haven't authorized them to preach and crusade on my behalf. They should mind their own business too.

If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a political cause, I hereby promise to come back from the grave and make his or her existence a living hell.

_Jade______________
Signature

_Amanda______________

OK anyone on Care2 network most likely got this. But this was to good not to blog...

A Carrot, An Egg And A Cup Of Coffee...

A carrot, an egg and a cup of coffee... You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?" "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity ... boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.

When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

You might want to send this message to those people who mean something to you; to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendships you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.

It's easier to build a child than repair an adult.

What Makes 100%?

2005-04-02T08:37:00.000-05:00

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

A Little Saturday Morning Humor

2005-04-02T08:20:00.000-05:00

"Now learn to pay attention."

First-year students at Medical School were receiving their first anatomy class, with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

The professor started the class by telling them: "In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 importantqualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body."

For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck a finger in the butt of the corpse withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth.

"Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.

The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it and then gagging and choking.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and told them,"The second most important quality is observation".

"If you had more observant, you would have seen that I stuck my middle finger in the butt and sucked on my index finger. Don't you wish you had been more observant! I suggest you learn to pay more attention before you do something really stupid like this again."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Age and Treachery

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that she's lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she immediately settles down to chew on the bones with her back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!," says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with her back to her attackers, pretending she hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says: "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

Moral of this story

Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience!

A tale of 2 trees

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

Wipe that smile off your face.

School?

2005-03-31T22:37:00.000-05:00

Well today went well and was a very short meeting with the woman from the VESID program.. I have to check out what classes are available to me and see what I might like to get into, Yet they also want me to take a few test to see where my skills are at.it all sounds good But as far as starting any schools they say that won't happen to soon.. They also want to wait till after I had my surgery and some therapy to see what I can and can not do with my arm.They are very helpful people.. I like the idea of everything they offer.. they even work with ya through everything, and when you start working again in a feild you can work in, they don't just drop you.. they keep updated and if you have a problems they jump right in and help again.. thats cool.. But Now I have the problem of how long am I to live like this? its been almost two years of pure hell and it seems like the pain is getting worse everyday. Most people think I am a real Bitch these days. yet not one of them understands that amount of pain I am in most of the time.. Now I get told I should not be a bitch since I am on pain meds.. Well I would agree, But the pain meds do not take the pain away, they just dull it for a while... Again, what is wrong with fixing the problem??? OK thats it... done rambling, LOL

Doctors and Pain

2005-03-31T10:17:00.000-05:00

I want to know what is wrong with People these days. More to the point, what the hell is wrong with people who think that money comes out of their own pockets? It's not like I have not worked all my life and paid my dues, trust me I have. Well let me explain. A few years ago I got hurt at work, June 17, 2003, I tore my shoulder up pretty bad. on Nov 13, 2003 they did surgery. From that point on I have had tons of therapy and lots of shots in it to try to lessen the pain and all to no avail. Well I get sent to another doctor. I like this one. he gets right to the point and holds no punches yet likes to talk and become part of your life during your treatment with him. thats cool. Now he wants to do a 2nd surgery on my shoulder. with the facts well in hand that I will lose more mobility in my left arm. Hey less movemement, no more pain. I can live with this. But Workmans Comp wants to give me a run around. they feel it don't need to be done. OK, Now this means living on Pain pills.. Yep Loritabs, Now I hate the way these things make me feel. I feel like I am speeding my butt off and as for the pain, it is still there, But hey my head is so messed up that the pain don't matter as long as I don;t move the arm .. So two days ago the doctor puts me on Loritab 10's to take every 4 to 6 hours. Now I am looking at the fact of becoming addicted to them. I stressed this concern to the dr (oops its a pain managment dr, different from above) He says to me, "Oh don't worry, you will be able to get off them with very little to no side effects" YEAH RIGHT... What is wrong with just fixing the problem and getting it over with? Is that such a hard concept to understand? I just don't understand these people.. I worked hard all my life. I put my time in, and to be honest, I really want to get back to work. Yep I have been out of work this whole time. Now I have looked for jobs, But how many people do you know that will hire someone who has to keep taking days off for octor appointments, or who wil be going out for a month or so for surgery? Well not any in the area I live in. they hear this and SORRY, we can't hire you, come on back when your totaly cleared to work. So today I am headed to see a woman in a program called VESID, Now this program will pay to send you back to school or retrain you in something that you can do with all your limitations.. Lets hope for the best for me. I have got to do something. This program is also run by Workmans Comp. go figure, these people want you to go back to work ASAP, yet they don't want to pay to have you repaired However they will pay even more money to send you to school.. Now don;t that make sence to you? I know it don't me.. However I could see this if after the surgery was done and you were cleared to work and your old job said sorry we replaced you.. I don't know, I am confused and rambling today. So I am off to go see what this woman has to offer and will let ya'll know. Ya know, Arizona is looking better all the time. OK so I want to live where it is warm and sunny most of the time. LOL... we still have snow here. its melting, but it is still here... OK I am out, Have a good day

Another Per Request for Michelle, (sorry only two photos I could find)

2005-03-19T11:18:00.000-05:00

In Honor of Our Pal Michelle... Hope you Like, :)

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.

I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room, just wait."

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged .... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life.

Old age is like a bank account: you withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.

Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank. I am still depositing.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

This says it all!

Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Love waxes and wanes.
Hearts break.
Careers end.
Jobs come and go.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Men don't call when they say they will.

BUT...........
Girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles
are between you.

A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it
for yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim, cheering you
on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and
waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you. Or
come in and carry you out.

Daughters, Daughter-in-laws, sisters, sisters-in-law, mother,
mother-in-law, aunties, nieces, cousins, extended family, and
friends bless our life! The world wouldn't be the same without them, and
neither would I.

When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the
incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much
we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.

The Season Begins

2005-03-14T09:12:00.000-05:00

Well here we go. the Season Begins for me.. Not only do I help get the Mystic Festival get underway each year. I also Advertise for the Place that holds the Mystic Festival. We have a New Web Site underway to. But the Place I do this for is called The New Farm. Feel free to keep checking us out. We are a co-op of Vendors selling anything from Antiques to New. Just depends on What your into. Most likely we have it and for a good price. Oh See here I go selling again.. Hey it is in my blood. I once got told I could sell my grandmother and she is no longer with us. Hummm trying to decide if that was a compliment or an insult? I also have a friend who has her store located in here at this time.. So if your looking for Unique gifts, check her site out to. She is Lady Mystery. OK. I am done trying to sell. LOL.. Well maybe..

As you can see I have not been putting much in here.. thats only cause I don't want to complain about the weather anymore.. I figure if I don't complain, maybe the white crap thats all over here will melt away and give me warm weather.. yeah I know I am wishing again.. But hey a girl has to have something to wish for. Yes I could think of better things to wish for. But this will just have to do for now. Ya know I thought I made it through most of the winter with out getting really sick. I did.. But right now I think I have the flu. Not good. try advertising with that. But hey I made it here to. I am doing good. Of course my bed is looking really good again.. I only been up an hour. Oh well.. I just have to think of it as the end of the winter cold and move on... OK, thats it for today.. There will be no more snow pics on here either. so I hope ya'll had enough snow for the winter.. I know I have... Later y'all
