Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated…
No worries everyone I am still alive and kicking. Aside from family trials and tribulations, it is that time of year when the hungry zombies descend upon the unfortunate, tearing apart the scenery and looking for a brain. I refer of course, to the holidays, a swear word in the mouthes of retail workers everywhere. The time of year when we make the same barely above minimum wage for three times the amount of work… the time of year when you go out of your way to find the ten-twelve items a person was looking for to complete their holiday shopping list and after an hour of work, they walk off without even a thank you. Be kind to anyone in retail who helps you do your shopping this year folks… the number of witchy Pagans is growing by leaps and bounds and you don’t want an accidental hexing. (I assure you, it’s not as rare as you might think… the old “Evil Eye” was more often an accidental thing, than not, according to folklore.)
Aside from that, nothing new really to report so far as my family goes. My mother’s BF is eating now, though he still doesn’t sleep well. That is mostly because he’s not drinking any more and he’s also given up smoking pot. Yay and hurray! Some good things have come out of this mess. Now if they would both just give up cigarettes. They stink up the house so bad people think I smoke by the way my clothes smell.
My mother is trying to get my brother professionally diagnosed with Aspberger’s so he can collect social security. Personally, I think he’s just an selfish, unfeeling little sociopath, but I understand absence of normal emotion is a part of Aspbergers syndrome. On the other hand, my brother can act completely normal when it suits him. I wonder if a lot of serial killers and mass murderers could be diagnosed with Aspbergers. I really think my brother has the potential to be one. I’m sure that’s unfair to people who have been diagnosed with it, but I think it’s a valid question. What if people who kill others have this psychological condition, and no one’s made the connection yet? They always describe the killers as “betraying no human emotion.” Ahhh, I predict they probably will within a few years or months.
At any rate, GoddessFourWinds, I’m alive and well… just overworked and underpaid… ah, living the American dream… or at least the making the dreams of the wealthy possible through my back-breaking labors.
Kaosneverdied… you need never worry about insulting me unless you go out of your way to insult me… if you get my meaning. So long as you don’t resort to name calling (which given your intelligence I doubt you ever would), I’m not going to be offended by a difference of opinion. You have the right to believe whatever you like, and so do I, and so long as you do not infringe upon my right to have an opinion, neither will I begrudge you yours. I respect you even if I don’t always agree with you… and what a boring world it would be if everyone agreed on every point.

Welcome back.
Thrilled you didnt die….:dance: yeee haw! I am too addicted to stay away. :Cheerleader:
Girl, I really like the way you blog and think. We have a lot in common. :SeeSaw:
BTW there are many violent little smilies up there…I just noticed how many are hitting someone, shooting, poking or drawing a sword. Freaky little guys.
that is good news about your mom and her b/f. and a very valid question about your brother. i just might bring it up to our psych dept here where i work (a university).
:Monkey: This guy cracks me up!
I am glad everything is…well…good.
Good for the ending of bad habits. I wish cigarettes were illegal…then I could quit smoking.
I’ve worked convenience stores and motels. People really have no idea what life’s like behind the counter…
You ever notice how some of the kindest, most generous people are poor, working folks…who’ve been there?
Much Peace and Love…GFW
Yeah you were posting earlier about your brother. My family breeds a lot of psychos and unfortunatly my daughter seems to be void of kindness at times. Her fathers family including her father breeds psychos. As for the serial killers i hope they dont diagnose them wisth aspergers syndrone as then they can plead insanity. then you will see child molesters do it, then rapists, soon youll all hear violent criminals need a few months or years of medical help then they are released into society. Like I said before I know what you are going through. As for the zombies well Captain Retard is my father does that count as a no brained zombie?
Oh to answer your question Im near 5’3 .
This is interesting wher did you get this information from?Another thing to think about… the places which euthanize pets and even the crews which remove road kill sell the meat to companies which process it for animal feed for domestic animals. The cheaper the food, the more likely it is that the food may contain animal matter from these sources… this is how disease like mad cow disease are spread… through unknowing cannibalism of diseased meat.
Most ofthe time I get the better quality food. I wish I could have a dog but right now I would only be able to afford the cheaper brands of food.
Tidbitz – I’m glad you like my smilies (and the way I write! heh). I never thought about the number of violent smilies I have. I just wanted to make sure all the different styles were represented… and that people would be able to violently disagree with me if they so chose. hehe
Neversdreamlog -Please let me know what they say if you ask.
Kalimir -I know what you mean. Criminals will use any excuse to disavow responsibility for their actions. Your height isn’t too bad for your weight, but if you want to lose just walk a lot. I’ve lost 30 lbs in one year (since I got my job at the bookstore)… just running around the store for 6-8 hours a day, five days a week really burns the pounds. But you know what they say, slow and steady wins the race. I’ve read the more slowly the pounds come off, the more likely it is that they’ll stay off. I don’t recall exactly where I read about euthanized and roadkill animals being used in animal feed, but I think it was right when it was very popular to discuss Mad Cow disease (1990s) and I believe it was in a vegetarian times magazine. Specifically I think they mentioned California in the article, but I could be wrong on that point. It’s been at least ten years since I read it.
GFW -I know what you mean. I’ve been working poor all my life; I come from a working poor family. I don’t know where other people get their manners, but my mother raised me to be polite.
