Network for Good :: Health: "With so many illnesses that can devastate mind and body, the demand for medical research, information and treatment options is never-ending. Every major disease is represented by nonprofit organizations working to support research, public awareness and education, as well as public policy.

You can make a difference when you give your time, money, and support to organizations that work to cure diseases, educate the public, and help with other health needs."

Showtime in its infinite stupidy has cancelled the only good show they had help bring it back by signing the petition

Keep "Dead Like Me" On The Air Petition

If you have not yet seen Dead Like Me rent the DVD of the first season. Show is wonderful and so much better than crap like fat actress which they chose to keep. Needles to say I am cancelling my Showtime subscritption because I had it only for this series. Used to have it for Stargate, Jeremiah and Odessey Five but they cancelled those too. And while I have nothing against Gay or Fat people those seem to be the only 2 subjects Showtime covers anymore. Oh Ya and they have a new one covering the Catholic Church Sex scandals like I would watch that.

Japanese man gets jail time for 'kidnapping' dolls

iWon News: "TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese man has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in jail for snatching mannequins used by a cake shop chain to tout its wares.

'Peko-chan,' a round-eyed doll around the size of a six-year-old, has been used by Fujiya Co. Ltd. to sell sweets for five decades and her grinning countenance is a familiar sight in front of shops around Japan.

Recently, however, she has become a favorite of collectors, leading to a rash of 'Peko-chan' snatchings.

Takeishi Shibuya, 31, was convicted of stealing 15 of the large dolls, valued at about 1.1 million yen ($10,170), a court official in Yamagata prefecture, northern Japan, said on Monday.

In several cases, Shibuya used pepper spray and spray paint to fend off store employees, leading prosecutors to demand a sentence of nine years in prison.

'But he has reflected on his crimes and feels bad about what he did, so the sentence was lighter as a result,' the official said.

After a wave of 'Peko-chan' disappearances last year, the company suggested chaining the dolls down, but customers complained that this would be cruel.

"Is it just me or is this one of the dumbest things you have ever heard"

Great idea

Freecycle: "The Freecycle Network was started in May 2003 to promote waste reduction in Tucson's downtown and help save desert landscape from being taken over by landfills. The Network provides individuals and non-profits an electronic forum to 'recycle' unwanted items. One person's trash can truly be another's treasure!

How does it work?

When you want to find a new home for something -- whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door -- you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of your Freecycle group.

Or, maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond to a member's offer, and you just might get it. After that, it's up to the giver to decide who receives the gift and to set up a pickup time for passing on the treasure.

One main rule: Everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.

Non-profit organizations also benefit from The Freecycle Network. Post the item or items you want to give away and a local organization can help you get it to someone in need."

9 Things I Hate About Everyone

9 Things I Hate About Everyone (Although my personal list would be infinite - God, I'm turning into a bitter old lady!)

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna kick their asses!

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved! Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

The Morning News review. Complete with before coffee spelling errors and bad grammer

faeriequeene2000: good morning.
faeriequeene2000: sort of
dragonez: Why only sort of
faeriequeene2000: not awake enough to know. or care.
dragonez: True
dragonez: I can't believe how much they are trashing star warss
faeriequeene2000: i know. it can't be that damned bad.
faeriequeene2000: i think it's just because lucas is so anti big studio so the studios all paid the critics to trash it.
faeriequeene2000: i'll see it anyways, just because it's star wars.
dragonez: They aren't saying its bad they are just trashing them in general and I don't get it
faeriequeene2000: i've heard horrible things about the new one.
dragonez: Except of course for he ones whining that it has too much violene like galatic wasr isn't supposed to include death
dragonez: I have heard that it is the best so far from the fans
faeriequeene2000: and they are the only ones who matter.
dragonez: But lots of people are whihing about graphic death scenes and yoda being torutured
faeriequeene2000: yes - i think people and especially kids should be required to be exposed to actual war and torture videos. then maybe they will grow not to go to war.
dragonez: But for film historian Peter Biskind, that may not be such a good thing. In a recent interview with France's Le Monde newspaper, he said Star Wars and its good-against-evil storyline has become a simplistic prototype for today's blockbuster.

"Unfortunately, we will be living in the shadow of Star Wars for a long time."

Director Paul Schrader said the series "ate the heart and soul of Hollywood."
dragonez: Some argue it turned Hollywood into a commercial beast with no regard for artistic merit. Star Wars, it is said, used technology that undermined fundamental principles of acting.
faeriequeene2000: er.... i thought good versus evil was pretty much what life and the world are based on.
dragonez: AS if hollywood was not a commercial beast before
dragonez: Ya I know
dragonez: Lets dace in the old days it was even more about money and of course screwing starletts now they at least get paid better to be screwed
faeriequeene2000: saw a rep. from vermont interviewed the other day and he was saying how ALL media (movies, t.v., newspapers, publishing houses, etc.) are increasing all owned by a very few huge corporations and conglomerates as more and more buy outs occur. very scarey. soon everything we see and read will be controlled by a few.
faeriequeene2000: and congress is trying to pass censorship laws for even pay cable.
faeriequeene2000: of all the things this country has allowed the last 6 years, the increasing censorship is one of those that boggles my mind.
dragonez: I totally agree and even if they own everything I will still provide you with uncensored nonsense of my own mind
dragonez: I don't get the censorship on pay cable either
dragonez: Its just because parents are too lazy to watch their own children
faeriequeene2000: that and the right wing wants to totally control our minds and lives.
dragonez: They can't because my mind just isn't htat corrupt
faeriequeene2000: if this country elects another republican next election i'm moving to another country.
dragonez: I can understand that but it just depends who they put forth against them and if the democratic party can quit apologizing for representing everyone and take a true stand defending their beliefs
faeriequeene2000: exactly. their biggest mistake was being pussys. after all, if the vice president can stand on the floor of the house of representatives and tell a rep. to go fuck himself and he gets reelected, surely the democrats can say, "george bush is a liar."
faeriequeene2000: and every time george or one of his cronies spouts something about the "culture of life" i want punch something.
dragonez: They don't even need to do that they just need to activily support fredom and equality instead of hedging defending themselves
dragonez: Yes you usually want to hit george bush
faeriequeene2000: preferably, but that ain't gonna happen.
dragonez: A judge has cleared the way for a blind couple to open a day care center in Colorado, saying the state's refusal to issue them a license violated the Americans With Disabilities Act.
dragonez: I don't really care that they gave them the license but I could never send my kids to blond daycare
faeriequeene2000: blind, either.
dragonez: Blind daycare although blond can be scary too
dragonez: Of course I don't believe in sending kids to daycare at all
faeriequeene2000: i know. can you imagine taking em and dropping her off where the people responsible for her welfare can't see? makes no sense to me. give them their license, but i can't imagine they'll be in business long.
faeriequeene2000: i agree, but then i was lucky and had parents who watched while i worked.
faeriequeene2000: i was a lucky single parent.
dragonez: I was pretty lucky too I just hd jobs where I brought them along and I think there needs to be much more of that. Children should be part of their parents world not isolated from it
faeriequeene2000: agreed. even though i hate kids.
dragonez: And then there are the annual stupid school News stories
dragonez: - A high school senior who thought it would be funny to wear a dress to his prom was ticketed $249 for disorderly conduct, suspended for three days and banned from his last track meet.

School district administrator Jim Gottinger said the discipline was for more than just the dress, noting Kerry Lofy, 18, was dancing in a sexually provocative manner at the prom, according to a police report.
faeriequeene2000: love that kid.
dragonez: Like anyone cares what they way and as far as suggestive - have they seen their cheerleaders lately
faeriequeene2000: yes, but texas has passed a law banning "sexually suggestive" cheerleading.
faeriequeene2000: we can all look to texas for our moral compass.
faeriequeene2000: or is that moral ass?
dragonez: Ass is much closer to reality and I live here
faeriequeene2000: as bill maher says, those cheerleaders are where our next generation of stippers are trained. are they nuts to ban it???
faeriequeene2000: he did a great tribute to jennifer wilkins (or whatever her name was, the runaway bride) and her "temporary sanity" for running away.
dragonez: I can see that
faeriequeene2000: i have to go to darrel's mother this a.m. to go through all the shit she wants me to put on ebay for her. fun fun.
dragonez: I have to go cut locks and now I have to go exercise as it is that that time
faeriequeene2000: some of these words on scrabble make me chuckle. antiair - does that mean you are against air?
dragonez: well if you add craft and misssile behind it it makes more sense

Google my name and what do you get?

Lydia Nolen equals a link to this blog with me bitching about Kelly. How pathetic is that! Okay so now that I no longer want to bludgeon him I've done almost all the things I said I wouldn't. By the way Brandy, my darling husband Kelly told me today that if he were married to you that he would be a multimillionaire by now. I guess that's a compliment. I told him that he's wrong because you don't care about money and would probably sabatoge his efforts just for entertainment. I should have told him that if he were married to you he would be dead because you would have already killed him in his sleep!

Cats and Dogs

What is a Cat?

Cats do what they want. They rarely listen to you. They're totally
unpredictable. When you want to play, they want to be alone. When you want to
be alone, they want to play. They expect you to cater to their every whim.
They're moody. They leave hair everywhere.

Conclusion: They're tiny women in little fur coats.
*****

What is a Dog?

Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the
house. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't
hear you when you're in the next room. They can look dumb and lovable at the
same time. They growl when they are not happy. When you want to play, they
want to play. When you want to be alone, they want to play. They leave their
toys everywhere. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to
give you a kiss. They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you.

Conclusion: They're tiny men in little fur coats.

Life Lessons & Other Goodies from the Email Bag

As I Mature

I've Learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I have learned tht no matter how much I care
Some People are just assholes

I'cve learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and it takes only suspixion, not proof , to destroy it.

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes.
After that you better have a big Willy or huge Boobs

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others -
they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do
unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first
The Passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place!

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house ,
one of your kids did it.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken too soon
and all the less important one just never go away

The was one more about the amount of vomit possible but it was just too early for vomit

Grandmas House
We were having Sunday dinner at Grandmother's house.

Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When
our son received his plate, he started eating right away.

"Son, wait until we say our prayer," his mother reminded him.

"I don't have to," the little boy replied spryly.

"Of course you do," his mother insisted, "we always say a prayer
before eating at our house."

"That's at our house," The youngster explained, "but this is Grandma's
house and she knows how to cook!"

Yet another Preacher who believes he is God

Dems Voted Out of Church Weigh Options: "Members of the congregation said Chandler told them during last year's presidential campaign that anyone who planned to vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry needed to leave the church.

Longtime member Selma Morris, who was treasurer at the church, said Chandler's sermons remained political after Bush won re-election. This past week, his comments turned to politics again at a church gathering that ended with nine members voted out."

I admit I am very Big on God but its stories like these that make sure I rarely step foot in a church

I've been fired!

I know I may have said something in the past about not using the blog to whine or complain about my life but Cristal has been in Florida for the last week so I'm afraid that I have no other choice. I've been fired. From what you might ask. This is really a good. I have been fired from the role of domestic Goddess because apparently I suck at it. I've been informed by the almighty King ruler of the household that I am to get a full time job ASAP. Put the kids in latchkey daycare whatever. My license and pass to be unemployed has been revoked. I am to shed the mommy role and become a functioning member of the workforce. I tried mentioning the fact that I tried this recently and it did not work but he thought that I was just being a whiny baby. This is for my own good you know. I've been sick with a migraine headache,and strep off and on for the last two months. In the past when I have been ill I would try to just get over it and not let it affect things too much. Well lately I've been really slowing down and trying to recoup so I have done little more than feed the children and get them ready for school in the morning. Yeah I've done even less than the bare minimum that I usually do. This has not gone unnoticed. So I'm off to look at the want AD's. Maybe I can lose some weight and get my old job back at the Palace. Wouldn't he just love that. I know that I would. Lets see $180 childcare for Ranger and Kelly plus another hundred for after school care for Lindy and Blaze. That's 280 right off the top assuming I don't work weekends add another 100 to that if I do. If I'm lucky I might find a full time job that will allow me to bring home 10 or fifteen dollars a week after taxes. Is this suppose to be my punishment for being a lousy housekeeper see if I ever wake up and make Kelly taquitos to take to work. I'm not fucking making coffee he can get his happy ass out of bed and turn off his own alarm clock and I'm not having sex with him either! When I did the book job which was way more than a full time job I was still expected to cook and clean and all that other crap. Now I know this is just some manipulation to try to get me to become more domestic. I'll think of more crap to add to this later.

Yippy a party!

Well Brandy, I'll try to grace you with my presence. We are pretty roudy though. Not sure you can handle it, well you do handle Les quite nicely so it will probably be okay. I have a confession to make people, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I am addicted to Bizarrebids.com and it is all Brandy's fault. She was the one that posted the Holy Pope Tart which Cristal and I both bid upon because evidently we are easily amused. Well now this obsession has progressed into me actually having a bizarre auction myself. No I am not pimping out my husband or selling his left nut or tattooing anything on myself or shaving my head. Don't know if I will get any bids but at least I am amusing myself with it.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5578768455&rd=1&

Redneck 911

A couple of redneck hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other redneck starts to panic, then whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He frantically blurts out to the operator, "O my gawd! Help! My friend just died. He's Dead! What can I do?" The operator, trying to calm him says, "Take it easy. I can help. Just listen to me and follow my instructions. First, lets make sure he's dead." There's a short pause, and then the operator hears a loud gun shot!!! The redneck comes back on the line and says, "OK, now what?"
