I have discovered something about myself. I don't like selfish t.v. shows.  I don't know why I was tihnking abut that.  But if the people on the shows are always self absorved. I don't like it.

' Eeryone's favorite show..Signfeild or how ever you spell it. I hated.  They were always trying to get over on someone and it pissed me off.  Everybody love's Raymond. HATE IT!!!!!!  If I was married to that guy I would kill myself and him.

Don't even get me started on shows like the O.C. and desperate housewives.  I guess I expect my t.v. to be empathic ho w messed up is that?

I like shows like NCIS and CSI and Law&Order.  The characters actually seem to want to help each other and those around them.

HI HEATHER HOW ARE YOU?!!!!!!!!!

*SNICKERS*

What was the last game you played?

Candyland.

I have two small boys and it is a great way to work on our colors...fo course we can't actually play the game...LOL..Josh is too young and he always jumps ahead. LOL..but we will keep working on it and get our game on.  I can't wait to be able to have a family game night.

I need to enjoy there while they are still young enough to want to play with mommy and daddy.

I think I am getting mean in my old age.    I remember times when I would sit do wn with teenagers and listen to their problems and try to help. I would listen for hours about boy friends and parents and all that is wrong in the world. 

But now I get frustrated.  Especially on thinkgs that areimportant to me. I have to unjoin a lot of pagan websites and comms so I don't go off on the kids that want book lists and spells and things.  I just keep thinking. "I found out all this shit by myself because I picked up a freaking book w hy can't you???

Now I am not saying I am frustrated with people. I can pretty much tellw hen some one is wanting information..or when they are just being lazy and want people to do the work for them.

"I want books on wicca" is bad

"I can't find any informaton on Polish deities. Can you help?" is good.

There is a different in my mind. One is sheer lazyness at not looking shit up.  Imean how hard is it to og to amazon.com and reading a few reviews on wiccian books??/  Might take some time....but heaven knows..people want that shit now.

The second one...is asking for help with something specific.  somehint that they may not haven been able to find with a google search and are wanting help..I can do that.

I don't know...I think I need to meditate more. I haven't done' my cd in a week and that might be it..I might just be tightly wound ya know.

P.S. I know I have not kept up with this..but I will get to your entries so I promise..

later

What was the last wedding you went to?  Were you in the wedding?

The last wedding I went to was my father in laws.   It was a nice small doul wedding.  Nope but agaist my will I was dragged into several photos. 

It was nice to see all those people.  Though it was marred by the death of one of my DH's cousions. He was a meth user and went to sleep and never woke u. He was 24.  No one found out until after the service though. 

What do you say to a mother who has lost her children?  I say I am so sorry. I am heatbroken.  But words don't descibe the feelings of saddness you as a friend go through.

I an writing this here because the mother is on my lj and I don't want to take away from her pain. Her story is sad and heartbreaking and long.  This is just one in many of the heartbreakes this woman has had to go through.

Persecuted doesn't even begain to cover what she has gone through.  Her children taken from her in ever step of the way.  But she never gave up. Always fought for them and to get them back.  With almost no help from anybody.

What do you say?

How well do you know your next-door neighbors?

Sadly not that well. I know one lady that lives on one side of me. A really nice lady..but I live in a, how shall I put this, a crack house.  (Though we did not know it was that at the time.

So I don't really want to know my neighbors. I just want to keep them away from my kids. LOL. I really should move over a few of my "Tales from the Crack House" posts over here.  They are amuseing.

It's the little things that relieve stress.  I did not know how much a dirty floor can make me crazy.  Perhaps I should give a bit of a back ground.

I haven't been  able to vaccuum for a month.  I have two vaccuums that were broke down like a redneck's chevy.  One had a busted band that I could not find a replacement at my local stores.  And t hen I have a high end Kirby that has been a clothes rack for the past, oh, 8 months. 

But with two kids the swiffer flicker just doesn't cut it. So my dad came over and asked if I needed anything, so I complained about the broken band and the kirby. My dad went out and got me the band and the bags I needed for the other vaccuum.  It was wonderful.  The best thing ever.

I put the carpet cleaner down and turned on that wonderfully loud maching and sucked up all my stress. It was like all the crubs and dirt on my floor was a physical manefestation of my tention and stress.  And all that stress was sucked up and away.

I love my new clean floors. Housework is something you have to do...to keep yourslef healthy , keep your kids healthy, and make your house welcomeing to others.  I fianally feel that people can come back to my house. 

So all of you are invited over for Tea and scones. Don't forget your ventage gloves and I'll have the whiskey and rum ready for  us to add to our libations.

When you were younger, were there any game shows that you religiously watched and wanted to be a contestant on?

The Price is Right. I freaking loved that show.  I thought Bob Barker was the shit, and the games looked like so much fun and something that I could do.  I thought the people jumping up and down were funny and the Price Wheel was the most exciting ever.  Oh and the showcase showdown. I loved it.

OH and Let's make a deal.  The people in the funny costumes. And when they would give up great prizes or cash and get something like a donkey. I mean come on that is priceless.

I guess you can say I still love game shows... and every now and then I still catch "The Price is Right."  It is a walk down memnory lane. When I was sick and home from school, I would try to guess the price of dishwashing soap.

I went trolling different comms on ElJay. By trolling I ment I would type in something and see what came up in interests.  I forget what I typed up, but a few childfree comms came up.  So I was interested and I read a few.  They were scary.

Now I have nothing agaist anyone that choses to be child free. I know myself, when some asks me, "So are you stopping at two?" or "Don't you want to try for a girl?" I get ticked off.  Unless someone can garentee me a girl I don't think that is a option. Plus I tihnk two children is pretty much all i can handle.  Plus what makes my reproduction their business. Ya know.

So I can fully understand they being pissed off that people keep asking them why they are going to have kids. I have a lot of respect for people th at know what they want.  I have a lot of respect for those that choose to become parents also.

But the amount of hate that was in these comms was frightening.  Talking about killing kids and things.  Now I don 't know if it was just talk, you know to impress the faceless people they don 't really know, but a lot of these people told stories about going up to parents and telling them if they did not quite down their children they would "Kill", "Hurt" their kids.

I don't know what I would do if someone said that to me.  I think a lot of it would do with calling the cops and beating the crap out of the person.

I did take offence to the names they called the parents also. Moos are mothers. I can only assume this is because women can become milk produces when they have children. And fathers were called "duhs". I don't really know where they got that from.  Could be the sterotype that that dads are normally clueless or the fact that duh sounds a tiny bit like dad.  And being refered to as "breeders".

I did not reply to anything in those comms. One bececause I chose to read it. Two, what could I say really?  It just makes me a bit leary of those that clain to be childfree. Are they saying they don't want kids or are they really saying they hate mine?
