Well. Evidently, the young man who ran over my house a few years back has an issue or two. He is in jail for beating the snot out of his girlfriend, and holing himself up in his apartment with their 13 month old son! SWAT action for about 6 hours.
Boy needs to get sober.

heritage
This makes me feel closer to my French/Irish/German heritage. Love Aly Bain. Love his rendition of a beautiful song.

Jesse V and the Sky Fairy
I truly do not understand why seemingly "intelligent" people believe every word that spews from the lips of a former wrestler's mouth and STILL believe in an invisible being (who by all accounts is bi-polar) living in the sky.

On pets
Can't remember where I saw this. I think in was on an email forward. Not mine, and I lay no claim to it...but it is so freaking funny!
Where do pets come from? ?
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in he Kingdom and I cannot think of a hame for this new animal"
And God said, "No problem, because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a shit one way or the other

My Epiphany

My epiphany
I have been an Empath as long as I can remember. I have pick up on certain aspects of people's lives. It takes me some time to do that amd it's usually after a few conversations. This was especially stong duting pregnancies. I could actually find things that people had lost during those 9 months.
I can't predict things like lotto numbers (don't I wish), or when the next disaster will happen. But it's PEOPLE that I am intuitive to. And it's usually not strangers. I can tell when something not right is going on in my daughter's lives, and I try my best not to pry, just hope they have enough faith in me to confide.
A young lady very dear to me had just met a family member of my son-in-law and I noted to my daughter that there was something going on. There were "sparks" between these two and I could tell they belonged together. And, Goddess willing, they are together as a couple for many years to come.
A couple of months ago, I met someone who has had a very strange effect on me. Since meeting her, my physical health has plummeted and I feel extremely emotionally fragile. I have not slept but one full night in the past 5 weeks. I have resorted to taking sleeping pills to help me sleep, but with no relief. I still wake up in the middle of the night.
I can tell when she is telling me her version of the truth and when she is lying. I can "see" the disturbances in her past and can see the reason she is a very cold woman.
And I realized about a half hour ago that she is an Energy Vampire. I have only met one other in the past, and did not recognize it until after she was out of my life, and even then, I did not recognize her for what she was.
I am not blaming her for my actual physical woes. She did not cause them. But I feel that she is the underlying cause for other symptoms I am having. The simple fact is that she has sucked all positivity from me
She relies on me for things right now, and as of tomorrow evening , she will no longer be dependant on me for anything. I can no longer allow myself to be used like this.
I will surround myself with a shield of positive light. I will make a conscious effort to breathe deeply and let those negative forces leave my mind and body I will cut her away from me. I will put a sign on my door that says "Leave your drama outside this home"
I can't do this any longer and will no longer allow anyone's negative energy to have such an impact on my life.
The Pagan part of me believes this. The part of me that wants to help people will have to step back a bit. I will continue doing my volunteer work because I get good feelings, good energy from knowing that I am doing my part to help others who have experienced Domestic Violence.
But if I do pick up on these Energy Vampires, I will no longer allow them to enter my life and have control over me.
I am empowered now by this realization. I feel better about my life and my future. My Goddess will guide me and I have Faith that she is with me and will allow me to continue to be Empathetic with others, but I vow I will focus on those who I feel the positive energies radiate from them.
Surrounded by the strength of light. Filled with the breath of life. I am 51. The next 30 or so years of my life will pass by more quickly than the last 30. And I fully intend to bring the good in and not allow the bad to overtake me.
Brightest of Blessing. My Circle is closed

For those of you who may not be aware, back in January of 2007, I was mistaken for a speedbump.
accident Day 14
Current mood: depressed
I find my self constantly apologizing for everything. I feel..disconcerted, if that is the right word. I can't remember things. Need to call Hahn today to get an MRI on my knee and hip, maybe my head. I forgot to yesterday.
I hurt. I need to go home but can't afford to leave work.
I swear I think there is a curse on me. I HATE to drive (things happen in threes. First car hitting house, then this. WHAT IS NEXT?????
I have to get back into the swing of things. I just can't right now.

accident day 17 (or 18)
Current mood: cranky
Well, MRI is set up for tomorrow. Yay. I also have PTSD, according to my dr.
I am officially a nut job. But the xanax helps me accept that fact.
My boss, bless his heart, says I should be better by now. Yeah, Rod, YOU get hit by a car when you are my age. You may have more gray hair than me, but you will always be younger. Remind me to mistake you for a speed bump when you are my age and see how you like it!
It is times like this I (almost ALMOST) wish I had a husband or BF to take care of me. But then I realize I would have to put up with him later.
For those of you who don't know, I had some guy born in 1919 run a stop sign and hit me when I was in the crosswalk. I guess I am better. My knee hurts all the time and keeps giving out on me.
I need to stop being such a negative nelly.

I never want to walk in those shoes

So I am watching the Katrina special on NBC. There is so much that the news never showed. My heart aches for those who lost so much. I have a cousin who lost everything. I see the bitterness in the words he writes about how the governenment let the people down. I have old friends who have nothing left and are sruggling to make ends meet.
My heritage is in South Louisiana. It seems to be all gone, at least physically. The spirit, though, in my mind, lives on.
I wish I could help. I wish I could do something. I feel like my hands are tied I mean, I donated clothing and household goods. That is all I could do. I just wish it could have been more.
My heart aches. I was just in tears watching this show.
This catastrophic event was not a lie perpetuated by our so called leaders. The lie is in the knowing what was happening and the sin is failing to do anything about it.
bastards.
