I had a terrific day at work, I was so happy to have a job again. I come home and there are flames around our house, forming a C. I race inside, call 911, and turn on the hose that has a leak. I dose some of the flames, ignoring the dogs and happy the wind is blowing away from the house. The fire dept gets here and doses the fire.

Now I have to wonder How?

Elz was here at 12noon to let the dogs out. I got home around 4:10PM. Did someone set it purposely? Did a hunter light a cigarette and the grass caught? Did the wind bow embers from a burn barrel? So ffar the fire department doesn't know.

And I stink like ash and I'm scared.

I do have a job and am starting Tuesday, 11/17. (This is the one with my old company I mentioned before.) YES!!!

 It may be possible that I have a job!  My old employer called me back and wants me to work there again.  They're supposed to send me an employment contract with the details.  I think its full time but hell, I'll take anything at this moment.  SOMETHING to work on.  As it stands, I'm supposed to report to work Tuesday.  I don't yet have the employment contract but i will keep you updated!!

To Elz,
Make sure you spread the ashes where the dogs can not pee on them.

Don't worry about the door.  Ghosts can walk through walls.

 About a week ago, Keith Olberman did an hour long show on health care in the USA.  I can't do it justice other than say it was heart wrenching and sad and true.  I thought about a lot and wondered if I should post then thought Naw.  He does so much better than me.  Then I saw this today.

A man has enlisted so his wife can have health insurance for her cancer treatment.  The saddest thing--she is going through chemo--again--and he won't be there to help her.  I thought about this as well and nearly cried.  Pity for her, for him, and yes, for me.  You see, I have no health care.  If I get ill, I either run up a bill I can't pay or suffer through it.

I'm not saying this to whine or seek pity.  I just think it's pathetic.  In this grossly wealthy country, people will die without care.  In fact, I joked a few times to Elz that if I am ever seriously hurt, it'd be best financially if i die immediately.  That's it.  Because there is no other recourse for me.  I can't get on Elz's insurance.  After all, homosexuals aren't real people.  I am too young for Medicare or Medicaid and make too much from unemployment to get anything else.  And even if I made no money at all, I still may not get on public health care because the option DHS offers may not be there.  (It often is only open once in a while.)

So that's where I and many others sit.  I have sometimes speculated about joining the service.  I understand why poor people do.  I am, however, shamelessly greedy about my Elz and my fur family, worrying I could lose them emotionally if not through an attack in Iraq.   Being without them for four years--I don't know if I can.  Besides, that whole pesky homosexual thing comes up again.  I'm a lesbian.  Again, for the US military, simply not good enough except to fight and die for them.

I don't think there's a point to this.  Just a general sad note.  I'd say rant but I'm too weary to rant.  I hope all of you are well.

And stay well.

Peace and Love.

Well, it kinda fits...

You Fall for the Sensitive and Romantic Type

You are a bit of an idealist when it comes to love, and you want to be with a partner who appreciates romance as much as you do. You know you've found your soulmate when you're with someone you'd die for. You believe in sacrificing everything for true love, if necessary. A simple "I love you," kiss, or even look can sweep you off your feet. You tend to get lost in the moment. You believe in happy endings, and you're looking for a prince or princess willing to ride off into the sunset with you.

 Some of the coolest houses ever!   Now if I could just win the lottery!!!

 As Elz and I prepared to watch Supernatural last night, the new show the Vampires Diaries was on.  First, I didn't watch much.  Second, I LOVE vampires.  Seriously!  I adore all stuff supernatural and occult and werewolves and vampires are terrific.

but, just a few WTFs!:

A. Twilight much?  

B. What the hell is any vampire over a century old doing lusting after a 17 year old?  Come on, 17 year olds in the modern age are not adults like they were in 1864.  The damn vampire couldn't find a woman of adult age to moon over?

C. Why would ANYONE go through high school willingly?  And being over 100 years old, I'd seriously be telling the teacher to blow.  

D.  The whole reincarnated love thing--yeah, a little cliche.  I mean, if done well, I enjoy it.  Old hat here.

E. Bad older brother, again, jesus, overdone much?  (Bad older sister, that would be refreshing!)

Watching the little bit of teen drama I saw made me want to throw up. To see the pretty rich little blond whining over how HARD her ife was and how she never got what she wanted.  Boo hoo, kiddo.  Rich teens make me sick.

How come all these teens look so pretty and glossy?  Where are the awkward ones?  Hell, Buffy had Xander and Willow at least.  

I just shook my head, knowing any self respecting vampire is cursing and hoping Van Helsing wannabes visit this town.

Homosexual demons....I'd laugh if it didn't break my heart.

Fuckers.

 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LOVE!  It's been 14 years and I only love you more...

 I have a temporary job working for the US government, so I've been missing posts although I try to keep up.  My temporary job should end just before Elz and I go to Nova Scotia.  At least it's something!

 To all my friends

A close relative just came out to me as transgender (MTF).  He's very isolated, unsure of where to start.  I want to support all I can.  If anyone can suggest good sites and support groups, please comment or send me a message.  Thanks you!

 We now have four states.  Vermont House and Senate have voted to override Governor's veto banning same sex marriage.  Four states!
(Mass., Conn., Iowa, now Vermont)

 
Iowa has decided banning gay marriage is unconstitutional.
