Scared

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:59:50 GMT

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.

Job

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

Cross fingers for me!

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:02:24 GMT

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!!

If you were close to death, what would you choose for your last words? To whom would you want to say them?

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.

Health news

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:38:01 GMT

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.

www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/64677772.html

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.

What Type Do You Fall For?

Vampires

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:39:46 GMT

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.

Updates from Michigan

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:35:43 GMT

What I've been up to....

Because my love says basically I don't post enough, here is a rundown of my life in the past few months...

My temporary job for the US Census ended a month early. :(
Still unemployed. :(
Getting real tired of filling out apps and sending resumes, only to be given scornful looks by employers :(
We did take in another Irish Wolfhound--Banshee. Unfortunately due to numerous issues with her (no manners, bad health on her part, and her aggressiveness), we are working with a rescue group to rehome her :(
Mulder, our 10 year old GSD, has bad arthitis:(
I hate being poor:(

Good stuff:
I have my love :)
I am healthy (pretty much) :)
Went to Nova Scotia and LOVED it. Our land is pretty and gods, I love that place. It rained every day but it would clear off and Nova Scotia is amazing!!
Our furbabies are all pretty healthy.
I saw two herons or cranes today:)
My unemployment benefits were extended.
One of my pet sitting clients gave me Michigan cherries.

So overall, I'm fine.

And homosexuals are the 'crazy' ones...

I'm a friggin' DOG?

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:36:38 GMT

You Are Like a Dog

You are a natural best friend. You are very loyal and faithful.
In your eyes, your friends can do no wrong. You will stick with them no matter what.

You have a protective streak, and you can be downright nasty if you're being threatened.
More than anything else, you are playful and laid back. You truly live in the moment.

Working

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!

Info needed

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)

Payday blues

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:35:51 GMT

Well, my lady and I got paid this week. (I got my piddly unemployment, she got a real paycheck). Doesn't matter because I had to spend most of it on propane to heat the house. God, I hate winter! We have some savings and money left. It just pisses me off that we have to pay so much for fucking propane. ($2.67 a gallon and that's at a fixed rate. Market rate is over $3.00.) Man, I wish when people are screwed this hard, they got some kissing first. At least this should be the last buy this winter (hopefully). And we use very little in the summer because all that needs propane is the water heater.

:(

Well, Watchmen was terrific. Loved the movie, people behaved. Very dark, very adult. As in NO children should see this. Had lots of sex which made me almost blush.

Keegan, our IW puppy, is doing fine. We got his papers today. Yay!

The cats are over being miffed at us for abandoning them for two days. I've cleaned the house and tried to make it tip top.

The snow is almost gone here in Michigan. We got a trace last night but that's it. Up North of us got over 10 inches.

Elz and I are looking for a good, basic minivan or a second car. Nothing fancy. We found a few we like the look of but nothing so far.

I adore Jon Stewart more than ever.

Still looking for work. Sent in several resumes last week. Guess well have to see.

My life is all right. Got my lady, got my critters. I'm ok.

Hope everyone is the same.

How old?

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:11:03 GMT

After a fun D&D weekend (Elz is the best!) today was a decent day after finding replacement power cords for my cable modem because the cats chew through them (bad kitties!) UNTIL I went with my lady to her doctor's appointment and the doctor asked if I was her mother! I must have looked stunned because he got very embarrassed. I am two years older than Elz. TWO! And yeah, my hair is pretty silvery. From dark brown/black, I started getting white hairs when I was 13. It's been natural for the longest time and I rarely color it because I like silver, Elz likes it, and frankly I don't really care about color. I am clean and decently attired when I leave the house. I don't wear makeup, even when working, but I am always presentable and business professional (neat clothes, clean, etc.). How freaking old do I look with silvery hair?! And this guy was no spring chicken--50's, maybe 60.

Grumble.
