So last year, when we were told she was in stage four-- she had me write a letter to Pastor H. and his wife-- which was one of the worst things I've ever had to do (write dictation for someone who was told they only had a few months to live-- not to mention she was my mother)-- and at the same time my sister emailed said Pastor and informed him of stuff-- to which he called Mom at the hospice and talked about coming out to see her etc etc etc.....
And then when she died, and Linda (sister) contacted them, we heard NOTHING!!!
Today I discovered that the wife had sent Mom a birthday card.
Off-topic-- can SOMEONE tell me why when I try to post here the damn page keeps blinking?????

Now they say-- you don't NEED the pap smear if you're in the following criteria (fill in the blank)....
*waits for others to spin this as a good thing*

CLICK my dragons! I've not posted them in some time.
Like he did to the King of Saudi Arabia......
He's the President of the United States-- which means he's equal.
Yet-- he bows-- freaking BOWS!!!
Some will say "he's showing respect"--
But for me, it reinforces what a few of my black friends have said-- he does not share the "slave" history of other African-Americans.
And therefore, to ME, his constant bowing and scraping is not only an insult to the American People, but he's spitting on 500 years of FORCED SUBSERVIENCE-- when slaves HAD TO BOW.
And that concludes tonight's political commentary by me.

Ah well-- guess I'd better start saving the recycling for myself instead of the various scavengers I usually set it out for.

I. Can't. WAIT!!!!
I at first did not think of my mother, more's the pity. But as I thought it through, it occurred to me that I could raise a few dollars for breast cancer research if I challenged my school to raise x amount of $$-- and then those who contributed could watch me get shaved on the yard on the last day of school before Christmas vacation!!!!!
So..... does anyone know how to arrange that? I mean, the little bit of research I've done didn't give me much help. Perhaps I should write it up as a proposal to the school?
The more I think of it, the more I think that this should be a way to "honor" Mom (God knows I owe her a LOT of honor, considering the last few years)-- but as I've always dreamed of shaving my head, is it really honoring her when I'm going to have a legitimate reason to go bald?????
GAD, I hate moral dilemmas!
Thoughts? Rei, you did it once you said-- how did they organize it?

I don't think I'll be attending this year-- unless I buy daily passes, and then it's like Mica said-- you buy a few but have no guarentee WHAT is on those days and you're screwed royally.
I had thought I'd get one more year out of Comic-Con, but screw them. I'm going out on a limb and saying that despite the fucking mess of last year, they're greedy for more. Someone even said that Shel Dorf (an original founder) had boycotted the past few years not because of health but because of what it has become-- and it was mean of me to repeat that bit of rumor-- but I don't know... I will do my best to go for at least a few days, but I think that 2009 was the end of my full participation, and 2010 will be the end of any contact at all.
I hate to feel bad for anyone's success, but my lord.....
- Mood: depressed
According to this (I went to see the tribute to Shel Dorf on the main page)-- 4-day passes without preview night are almost gone!!!
WHAT the HECK!!!
I really really really can't afford to get mine this early. I'm too far behind on things and between the decrease of pay due to tax status change, the rent increase I had to take, and catching up on a few late bills (NOT to mention that CA is taking 10% more tax starting this payday, damn them!), I really can't see how I can afford to cut loose a hundred tomorrow.
If I can't buy one by December, I shall have to resort to buying dailies (or wait for the comic-con to sell them on ebay).
Gad, I remember when this used to be fun.
Maybe after NaNoWrite I'll knock it into shape and post it elsewhere... but for NOW...
( Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice... )
EDIT: See the fin???? I snagged it from the AP-- It's a DESCENDANT of my dragons!!!!!!All 1990 PAGES of it!!!!!!!
Good lord.

Today I witnessed a meeting between Mr. C our principal and Mr. C our special ed teacher-- one of the on-going battles that now need witnesses on both sides, I won't bore you with details. However, the principal felt the need to end the meeting with a cautionary quote "from a famous military leader, I can't recall his name: 'We have met the enemy, and he is us'."
I blinked.
"Pogo," I said. "That's from the cartoon strip "Pogo"."
And then the Assistant Principal (who was the principal's witness) said "Yes, but it was first said by a famous military leader."
And so, ladies and gentlemen, you now have a good idea of who my "superiors" are.

This sale of the TMNT intellectual property makes me sad. In the immediate, I would LOVE to know what's going to happen to "Turtles Forever"-- which, as Ame pointed out, the title lacks the word "Obsolete"-- I've read and posted at Lawson's and Dooney's blogs, where there's a tiny bit of info-- Lawson says that Laird went "out of his way" to ensure they were all taken care of-- and spoke of an "artist buyout", but really, Laird "WENT OUT OF HIS WAY"??? He OWES them that much, imo.
Anyway, back to worrying about myself. But I'd rather worry about them and you guys and other things I have no control over, because I just can't bear to think of my own problems at the moment.
So click my dragons!

Please feel free to friend or avoid me, either one.
Richard Socarides, who advised President Bill Clinton's administration on gay and lesbian policy, said Obama delivered "a strong speech in tone, although only vaguely reassuring in content."
"The president and Nobel winner came and paid his respects, but tomorrow many will ask: What's his plan, what's his timetable?"
JEEZE!!!! Is THIS how he's going to be referred to for the rest of time??
Obama needs to study history and start surrounding himself with those who will serve in the place of the trusted slave during Roman times, that rode behind the "imperator" during a triumph, holding a golden wreath above his head and constantly reminding him via whispering in his ear that "Respica te, hominem te memento" ("look behind you, remember you are only a man") and "Memento mori" ("Remember (that you are) mortal")-- both swiped by the way from Wikipedia, as I never studied latin.
But then I know my comments are just falling on deaf ears.
Though upon reading it again, I see that it's not someone who serves Obama... so it's a bitchslap instead of adoration.
Well then... never mind!

- The music from "TMNT" makes me sad-- it makes me think of Mako.
- I saw my thighs in a full-length mirror today while trying on new pants-- I was sure someone had put in an evil photoshop view of my mother's thighs. I need to do something to Tone Up.
- I LOVE watching whatever videos I can find of when GW et all were in the Comic-Con Masq. of 2006.
- This explains why my thighs look so old-- OMG, it's been 3 years????
- Best Scenes Ever (can you name the movie?): "Fill your hands you son of a bitch!"-- "Cut, you buggars, cut!!"-- No quotes but you have to just watch this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AUIVx-KQ
t4 - I still wish I could have seen that one with my sisters-- saw it with Mom, and it was GREAT, but still....
- I hate my principal. He's out of his mind.
- I hate my thighs. When did they get so saggy?
