house full
of people, music coming from the barn - some bluesy xmasy thing - but than dallas is out there playing with them.
i'm sure the heavy metal xmas song will start in a sec.
turkey and makings for a dinner cooking in the kitchen. presents and food piling up on the coffee table as they make their way back to the barn.
i'm heading up to alexandria.
ya, this is going to be a good xmas.

xmas wish
merry christmas to everyone out there and do try to remember what christmas is about. it's not about who gets what or how many are under the tree. it's not about how much money you spent on so and so or how high your credit card bills are after this spending round.
it is about the celebration of a birth. the birth of a man that came onto our planet and attempted to teach one love.
love and peace to all this season of celebration. may your love grow.
yup - you guessed right - we aren't doing up any christmas again this year.

allergy season
it's struck. i'm out of commission. thought the shots i endured for two years were supposed to lessen the over all yucky symptoms.
this attack i'm in the middle of is not a lesser version of my old attacks. it's a duezzzy.
recycling
making candles to use up wax i've collected.
those animals
mama cat is in heat. god help us
she was pregnant when my big hearted number one son found her abandoned in the woods. she had 4 kittens way back deep in my closet, two siamese like herself and two almost pure black. we lost one of the siamese kittens when mamacat jumped down from the bed with the kitten in her mouth, breaking it's neck. already gave away two kittens keeping one of the black ones. our cat populace is now two. we are doing everything we can to keep her in the house while this caterwauling goes on realizing we didn't think about keeping anything out until a neighbor tom jumped in through one of the kids bedroom window. time to make an appointment with the vet.

computer woes
gateway hard drive started talking to me when i fired it up tonite. ok - it was more like a chatter / clattering noise. [i love my gateway even though technically it's not a gateway anymore and it talks to me.] i opened it up and had to step back from all the dust that came flying out at me. sigh. i don't want to do this .. maybe if i throw a temper tantrum some computer cowboy will magically appear and take it apart with me. no such luck. dab - nab - it. i can see this is going to be serious as the dust has gotten rather sticky from being in there for so long. going to have to pretend i know what i'm doing and just dive in.
first thing i have to attack is the fan cause if i don't figure out how to clean it better than i usually do, it means a new one. i take a closer look at the box and finally see a way to take the grid off so i can get in and clean the blades and housing better.
now off to hunt down all my stuff the kids borrowed. i look around the entire house and not one bottle of alcohol left. i see my trusty bottle of 'sea breeze' on the dresser. hmm i wonder. well heck ya it's great. cuts right through this mess.
heck ya, between the 'sea breeze', my best q-tips and only one can of air this time, it looks damn clean to me. had to go shake the towel i had the tower laying on out twice there was so much dust and black gunk. /shutter. two hours later and i get it all put back together, (no extra parts) fire it up and get the message .. video cable connected? .. after jiggling the cord and not getting a response from that - i take it apart again. sidenote* oh - so it was this machine i stuck the 'pny' vid card into and well lookie there - it has a fan on it that i didn't notice before when i installed it .. jeez .. that sure could use a good air blast. no wonder i get some lock up - lord!! * reseated the 'pny' and sure enough that took care of it.
put the machine back together again, hit the on button and shoot - a:/ drive won't stop trying to access something. [i dreaded this. i knew it just couldn't be a swift in and out.] back apart it comes and i take out the drive and reconnect it all up again and lo and behold !!! still chattering. /blink i got an idea. insert a diskette and yup that does it. it stops talking to me. i'm so smart /grin how'd i get so smart :) so not to bad .. doesn't run any faster like i did as a kid when i got new sneakers but at least it sounds better.
strange kids
there is a breed of kid out there that i wasn't aware of.
i ran across it at mtsu in the dining hall where i work.
every student that comes into our eatery has an id card that along with other functions, tracks pre-paid meals allowing them to eat three squares a day on campus. [either mom and dad paid for this or it's awarded through scholarship funds]
out of the 1k students we feed every day of the week around 4% try to get in without having their card scanned.
one of these guys is a 7ft tall basketball player and apparently his entourage has led him to believe he's 'god's gift to the world' thus he has a huge 'i'm the man' type chip on his shoulder sitting next to his 'does as he pleases' chip.
my first day on the scanner and i look up to see this 7 ft tall basketball player with two puffballs on either side of his head that i'm sure is his hair but - they are so big and fluffy
well - whatever.
he glides on by me with nary a twitch in my direction like he owns the place. i back up and glide on over in front of him and stand looking at what appears to be a silver medallion of epic proportions on his chest. i lean back, look way up there past the glare off the medallion and ask him. "so - where ya going there - bucko?" "to eat" he replies "well, not without having your card scanned first your not." "huh? waddya mean. i never pay." something tells me he hasn't had his card scanned in a good while.
but than usually young college girls are manning the scanner. "i'm just going to eat" he informs me. "ya i heard that - let me see your student id first" his speech quickly degraded into this slurred mumbo jumbo that - to me - sounded like a new language that i'd not heard before. he kept on walking into the hall all the while telling me he was
going to see his boys and that i should go back to what i was doing and stop bugging him. "over here - my boys are over here, you got people waiting on you woman, you got customers, i just need to see my boys over here." i took his hand and gently tugged him over - back towards the door out of earshot of his 'boys' and told him "thanks for coming, come back with your student id."
within 10 minutes one of his 'girls' [i guess] and he are out in the hallway entrance singing one verse of a rap song over and over and o v e r again. it careened around the hall walls - burst through the doors, spreading out as it flowed into the dining hall and amplified as it bounced off the walls inside and gave all in attendance a good listen up - of this lousy, off key baritone and this tweety bird squeaking this .. well, like fingernails on a chalkboard - you get the drift. sure enough the student assistant manager [if this girl is any older than the puffball rapper outside i'll bite this card - i swear] comes up and asks me what's going on. i tell her "i think he's upset because i wouldn't let him in." she looks everywhere but at me and says "tell them to take it outside." i reply right away with "oh no, your paid to be a manager. so - go manage." oops. she huffed off saying she was calling security. i just went back to scanning cards ... grinning. not to long after a girl just bounces right on by me so i give her a heads up asking her "what's shaking." "i work here." she says to me. "are you working tonight.?" i query. "ya, sure." she replies. "ok, see ya later." and wave her in. the student assistant manager soon walks around my area, checking on things like she does, and i ask her .. "see that girl over there? she working tonight?" "no, she hasn't worked here in over a month." she says. sigh.
but i'm having a total blast. jord walked in to see me one night, he works in the dining hall in the next building over, and one of the college students i work with says to him "that's your mom? dude, your mom is cool." jord laughs as he tells me this. ya /grin i'm having fun. p.s. did i mention all the eye candy?? jeez luweez

found stuff
ya ya i know -- dorky stuff -- but fun the spark - cute. yup - i took this one and scored 36%. Is it a bird? A plane? Is it a boy? A girl? Is it love, or is it lust? Ah, you. You are that rare mix of sensitive and sensual, romantic and randy, pride and prejudice, etc. When you see your crush, you waffle like a Belgian, unsure of whether you'd rather paint their toes or suck on their toes. Poets have long been puzzled by your kind. You'll never fall for robots or nymphos, but you will suffer longs bouts of marriage.
FUN FACT...
people more loveable than you (96%)
people just as loveable as you (0%)
(no wonder i don't have a man friend. there's none just as lovable as me.)
people less loveable than you (3%)
dumb waste of time.
ready to take over the world? start here: villian supply

owwies
jord has a 10 stitcher on his left shin. tetanus shot for dessert. laceration was so deep we could see muscle slide when he flexed his foot. two nurses popped into our cubby to see his injury before the doctor started stitching. it was that awesome. he considers himself lucky in that all he will have is a v shaped scar. i'd imagine he will avoid engine blocks for a good while.
update: his 10 stitcher running 100 bucks a stitch so far. still waiting on the other bill that usually follows.

words from the band
i remember the nights when
we were under the sheets of sin
everybody looked down and frowned
when we stepped up and grinned
can't you hear what i feel when i
turn to look away from everything
you've built up to this very day.
at one point and time in my life
it was simply about you and i
found out the shit you hide inside
and im standing in the rain you say
im to blame but you sparked the flame in tha first place.
jon and micheal ©2000krak
all stuffed down inside of this crumbling shell
that i conceal myself within.
i feel this beneath my skin
tearing and breaking me.
why i even stay
there's not even one thing thats keeping my mind
sane from what you bring with your pain.
when i look within this glich overlapsing my mind
and i see what you were back then
and i know without a damn doubt
you took everything that meant something to me.
and i just began to regain my self-esteem
stripped by the one who i let get inside me
i let you inside of me.

computer woes
couldn't figure out why the h.p. was taking so damn long to process the last downloaded wu from seti at home. until i opened up the machine that is. the gunk was so thick i'm surprised the fan was even moving. /lazy. living out in cow country is harsh. the dust floats by and zap - it's caked the fan blades so bad it looks like alien cow dust doo-doo. hear the gateway making straining noises already. guess i should open it up and shoot some air around in there. maybe next week. one of these years i'm going to take both computers into the real computer guys shop, the ones that know what they are doing, going to ask them to give both computers a bang up clean. i hate taking computers apart and having to be careful. then im going to figure out which of the computer parts laying around actually work and piece together another computer. one that the kids can mess up all they want .. to their hearts desire. yup uh-huh ... been saying im going to get it done for a couple years now.
i remember my dad taking computer programming and the boxes on boxes of punched cards. so mysterious and for me - a puzzle - yeah. i wanted to know more about what made computers work. of course interest lagged after learning Dos. and trying to keep up with new languages? heh - forget it. my brain refused to function in that manner.
to bad i have to keep my computers locked up in my room though but that's in order to keep the others "quote >> kids << unquote" from getting them bugged up. every single kid has a "oh man dude, my puter took a dive and really .. i dun know why" story.
wish we could tie into the cable that was laid down along main street a few years ago. figured when champions run went in up the road we would be offered a hook-up to their cable. maybe in a few years. ether net would be cool. i whine because i can't have the zinging hookup.
tn is 5 years behind in everything going on around the usa. but that's part of the appeal - living in the slower pace.
roofing
jordan's room was a sieve this last rainy session. so jon and i re-did the portion of the roof over his room. fun fun. with what i've learned during the "we should of just burnt the damn trailer down instead of restoring it" business at the lake and other little projects we've done and i've watched over the years. well, must admit we did a good job for never having done it before. no leaking now and it will hold until i get the metal roof next year. i love my big - fat book on carpentry and building construction, 3rd., feirer. it's full of information on building a house from the ground up and helped us with the small details. i wouldn't want to make roofing a career. yuck, my hands ached for days from the fiberglass in the shingles. haven't decided on a color yet for the new metal roof .. leaning towards brown. also have some siding to replace. tommy came by to take a gander at the siding as i was just going to use wood from the barn falling down over in the next field .. he said it was a special order grey pine something or other. would take a week to get in and it wasn't cheap. /sigh figures.

weird guys
tenn guys are so hick and backwards sometimes.
came home from work one morning, ran in and changed into my scrubs - than ran some mail out to the box to get picked up. within a few minutes a customer from work drove up into my driveway. my gut reaction was to walk into the house and lock the door.
i was pleasant enough to him, even though i was shaking inside, and sat outside talking to him. he said he had been out dove hunting and saw me on his way home.
ya, right. true - dove hunting had opened the day before. so it was plausible but it didn't feel right.
he asked if i would go to dinner that nite with him. how dare he presume that he was welcome to just pull up into my driveway. acceptable to me would of been for him to maybe stop a sec, say hey ! than head on out.
yo ! ask for a date in a proper manner. i don't tell anyone at work were i live or anything other than general stuff about myself. so how the hell did he find my house? i live to far out in the country for it to of been by chance. i used j as an excuse and told him i had a bf but that he was in colo at the moment. maybe i should be frightened but im not. go figure.

computer woes
russ came and looked at my settings and says he thinks the cache is causing me to lose my html. crud - will have to clear it each time until i get front page to play with. or just don't change the template since that's the only place being corrupted
so many neat web building tools, editors, toys, toys, toys.
all meant to help you learn.... to many to try them all, dang it.
tons of templates to mess around on also, but so far i screw everyone of them up and get to start all over again..
im having a blast while im learning this junk. i feel like the little girl in a store with choices galore and i wanna play with everything.
not going to network the two machines right now, being as i am on a dial-up, it would slow both machines down to much.
wish we could get into that damn cable they dug in up in town.!!

coding problems
ya - we all know it's something i'm doing - dun want to hear that
different commenting system not working. this is frustrating as hell. looks like the code for the "shout out" comment script is gone. how the hell does it disappear like that? every single one i've attempted to use has done this, i'm doing something wrong. on the prowl to see what it is i'm messing up on.
same thing is happening everytime, the coding is replaced with the anchor tags. grrrr, have reinserted the complete code, see how long it lasts this time. usually happens after i add a link or sumthin to the template using blogger editor.
update : blogger editor faq's solved the mystery. the editor they provide - used through a browser - corrupts script code. whew. it's not something i was doing.

Cree Indian Prophecy
Only when the last tree has been cut down
Only when the last river has been poisoned

HI MOM
im posting on yours, yeah i know but whos gonna read mine :) no one i thinks. anyways,
hello people this is jordan. this is my first (published) blog so excuse the lack of interesting information. I had the greatest day ive had in a long time yesterday. Not one bad thing happend alllll day was pure enjoyment. i woke up early and me n eric and timmbro and amanda katie and ashley all went down to a place called blue sink to swim. It is BEAUTIFUL - first time i ever went. its like a playground made by god. a nice pond with pretty teal blu water and cliffs 80+feet high. there is also a nice stream running through to a cave right across big green rocks covered with moss and vines, like a scene outta a movie. and its all MILES away from civilization. I had SOOOO much fun reminded me of my younger days b4 i had worries, stress or cares. That night me jon and mom (kat) went to a third eye blind concert. it was so fun i was beside myself with joy. i jus kept laying back looking at the stars, thanking god for the beautiful day i had received. thanks for the invite ma

music
3eb : concert in nashville tonite ... not a bad one - but not great
did a mix of their last couple of albums and stuff from an album coming out.
How's it going to be
I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore,
Before you take a swing, I wonder What are we fighting for,
When I say out loud, I want to get out of this, I wonder,
Is there anything I'm going to miss,
How's it going to be, When you don't know me,
How's it going to be, When you're sure I'm not there,
How's it going to be, When there is no one there to talk to about,
How it's going to be, 'Cause I don't care,
How's it going to be,
Where we used to laugh, There's a shouting match,
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch,
A silence I can't ignore,
Like . . The hammocks and the doorways we spent time in, Swing empty,
don't see lightning like last fall when it was always about to hit me,
I guess that is how it's going to be
How's it going to be
When you don't know me, any more
How's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again,
The soft dive of oblivion.
Want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion
above song received the most response from the crowd. an - ok - show, glad i went. we left before goo goo dolls came on
holidays
labor day rural tennessee. drive the back roads around here and handmade signs direct you to 'dove shoots' set up on open fields. a few of the evil dove killerz have lawn chairs spread out next to their trucks with the homemade campers hanging off the back. the dudes are decked out in the latest cammi gear to hide em from the poor little birds - i saw waists bulgin' with the essential compass, water flask, swiss army knife, bowie knife and other stuff i couldn't identify.
thanksgiving time is when the turkeys are hunted on these same fields. ya - it bugs me. i don't like killing birds. we are losing them to pollution and disease way to quickly as it is. as of last week 6 birds confirmed with the west nile virus making its rounds.

coding problems
not sure why but losing big chunks of code, it's irritating but at the same time it helps me understand the process a little better each time i go on the hunt. has to do with the editor in blooger /wink i'm sure, i know i'm not going through and deleting this stuff and i don't use any other editor - i do use note pad to check my code but don't copy from it. have comments fixed now. curious to see which chunk eats it next.
waffle house drama
ok .. there is no getting away from peyton place drama. i've been working here a week and everyone talks about everyone else. this is so-so-so small town. you got your regulars hangin out day in and day out - hours on end - sitting at the counter - downing that caffeine, puffing them smokes and oh ya, egging some of the girls on with the gossip around 'who is doing who' and 'whose baby is that anyway'. which one of you - heh? guys? i avoid working the regulars section as much as possible. they seem to know i'm not into that kinda sandbox play anyhoo and leave me to do my 10 hrs and get the hell outta there.
a few of the girls get off on the drama hard core. bleh, makes me shudder. then there are the girls with that work phobia disease, the girls that just know their sidework is now magically your sidework. than the hard working girls that have been there since the beginning just taking care of business. over all it's a neat place to work. shall see how it goes.

another cave system dying
Some fear growth's effect on cave
petition's making the rounds to prevent Vanders from building the new homes. of course the money will win out. a shame to lose the cave system, this Vanders track record blows. 'Champions Run', a golf course with townhouses nested around it, was built in between rockvale and eagleville with approx. 200 new homes ....... price tag of 24,500 for a town house is sweet, told the kids they should run and get a starter ... but "who wants to live on a golf course" was the retort. city of murfreesboro moving in faster than i figured. visions of lake wolhford all over again and the reasons we left our pretty neat spot on the earth there to begin with.

education
Ivan Illich : believe that a desirable future depends on our deliberately choosing a life of action over a life of consumption, on our engendering a lifestyle which will enable us to be spontaneous, independent, yet related to each other, rather than maintaining a lifestyle which only allows to make and unmake, produce and consume - a style of life which is merely a way station on the road to the depletion and pollution of the environment. The future depends more upon our choice of institutions which support a life of action than on our developing new ideologies and technologies. (Illich 1973a: 57)
i have always believed our schools pump out sheep by the thousands. Illich's theory's are another take on this mess and it's presented in a readable format for us lay people.
i should send this link to that idiotic assistant principal at eagleville school "yo, ms. h, i'm honored we spent so much time over the years in your office discussing my kids apparent problems with conforming to the school rules, i so regret i informed them from an early age to question authority and it's correctness. my kids aren't gun toting, confused, evil or violent, nope, they just want to know why and sorry - just cause you said so doesn't cut it." naw, she wouldn't get it anyway.

jobs i'm working my way through
got to work and they threw me at the tables. someone called out, so instead of doing this thang called "door corps" /grin .. im serious, i took care of three tables all by my lonesome. it was non-stop go go go. this 20min turn around on tables is awesome. today i made over 15 bucks an hour and ma' feet feel it. gotta go buy some rockports soonish and had planned on doing just that after work but all i could think about was getting home and crawling into bed.

jobs and life
jon and i did the mom/son team up today at *waffle house in murfreesboro, they have him training as cook and i'm training the waitress stuff. don't know how long they will let us work together though. possibly until we are trained than move one of us out to a different location. was a pleasure working with such nice people. the manager mike is 22 years old and he is proud of where he is in his job. he started with the company when he was 17 and says he now makes 40k a year. not bad for his age - in this area. he has a valid reason to be proud. he is also very polite and pleasant, always nice to work with people like mike.
the system they train is geared for a 20 minute turn around on tables. so ideally they are looking at up to $1600 till a day, so mike says. he also said the girls make from $70 to $120 a day in tips. i'm doubtful on that, since most of the people i see in there are regulars and if you have ever been a waitress tables where regulars congregate ( it's a religion dun u know ) you know the tips are sucky. the company takes 4 bucks a day out for meals - bah - 2 meals a shift. i can see i'm going to gain some of this weight back i've lost .. grrrrrr boo hiss on that. profit sharing after 1 year service, very nice. the health insurance is blue shield .. and that blows. but it's a neat little restaurant and clean.
don't know how long jon will last as he is taking a big cut in pay, but until his back is healed .. he needs to take it easy. oh yea and after 6 months you get a paid vacation. i'll give it a whirl but i'm such a homebody sustained by the nite. maybe if i can work 2nd or 3rd shift but this 6 a.m. wake up call is a bit much. always gotta bitch about something.
two of the girls were all up in jon's face trying to get him to notice them. was cute. you could see the gears burning -- fresh meat oh boy. he asked me if i had a ring he could borrow. /shrug ... i had already dug one out for myself as i've been down this road before.
computer woes
i'm having problems with working out why the widths on my site are so unpredictable. yesterday it fit all nice and neat and today i have to use the scroll bar thingy at the bottom to read it. .. . dang it - j - why u gotta be all the way in colorado where it's harder to pick your brain. i'll get it figured out. it's mostly terminology messing with me.
reads
picked up Stephen King's new book of short stories. "Everything's Eventual" now normally i don't like his work but i keep reading it hoping his style will change. he is just to descriptive for me and i get bored. but short stories . hmmmm ..
movies
we watched "Elizabeth" with cate blancett, all i got to say is "wow" cate blancett is hot hot hot ... the story line was choppy and i had a hard time following the sequence of events but that could be due to my not being able to hear the dialogue clearly. regardless - i'm a sucker for those period films and anything Shakespearian anyway.

school
jordan in two art classes this semester *mtsu, one of the classes runs over 150 bucks in art supplies. scrambling to get the green bills for the junk. his pell grant was short this term - dab - nab it. there has to be other resources on campus, he just hasn't learned to hunt them out yet.
he enrolled in a math and an english class. not honors this term though. no. no. he says he doesn't want to have to work that hard .. not with art - his fav - heck no, need the time to do the art .. ok ok. at least he is keeping on track and not doing what i like to do .. take all the classes that interest me and stick the requireds in here and there.
he got a job in the community area ~ food service ~ .. so that will keep him in pocket change. whee, here we go again. maybe i should just go back to school with him.

citgo drama
jeanette from citgo called this a.m. ~ the rude citgo manager ~ she is "gathering forces to talk to the labor board of tennessee concerning this manager and his behavior towards female employees". good luck there jeanette. da manager has run off 3 more girls since i showed him my rear. according to jeanette that makes 7 girls in the last month that have walked. wow, if i had that hard of a time hanging on to new hires. i'd look at myself and how my behavior is contributing. apparently it's running deeper than my little brush with the jerk. shall see how it unfolds.

another one on geekness. i don't usually admit to taking these online pop quizzes that have sprung up all over the net. but this one was to much to resist.
You are 48% geek You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.
Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.
You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!
Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!
You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

connection woes and life
isp's modems connections - they all stink - hate em ~ yuck.
prodigy and yahoo ganged up to provide us "new and exciting content" [translates into: even more small, annoying programs] bleh .. 'trouble' all over again, my computers are raising hell with me.
i was happy with prodigy. i had prodigy working just fine.
now i'm back to working on getting my computers functioning the way i like - again. the h.p. has a touchy modem as it is and does this double dial .. even tho i've changed the string (dunno got me) according to customer service's advice. modem checks out clean .. shrug i'm just not informed enough.
i've added comments ability to the blog.

around the house goings on
*jon - michael - jordan and eric played a gig last nite and strolled in around 3am a little happier than they should of been. so -- my guess is they hooked up with some girls. more power to em. gets to where i have to push em out the door just to get some peace and quiet. they are getting ready to do a big gig so this last couple weeks is the first time in years i've actually heard the ends of songs they are practicing. they do sound good tho i must say. now if they would just pick up a singer.
*bobby and jord back on "zelda" ... i can hear the music in my room and i'm reminded of jord and i, when he was 5 or 6 years old, working for weeks exploring that game. i'd get stuck and hand him the controller ..
off he'd go slashing, bashing, bombing ..
like he was born to game.
we were talking about one of our first computers - commodore 64 - and jordan told me he would get so angry at me for making him learn DOS.

the saga continued
tuesday morning
citgo drama oh my. well, that job lasted all of 4 hrs. could of been great ..
worked with the only morning girl, jeanette, my age-ish and real sweet.
she was showing me her routine, the cooking area set up, up - keep blah, blah ... all was moving along - until the manager "ted" walked in ..
guess he was in a pissy mood and when a customer called acting the typical - indignant attitude down on him [i see alot of that lately in the public around here] and me being the new girl?
i got laid into .. i listened and asked him "if i did forget to give a lady her change of .72c .. hey, wouldn't the till show it?"
that didn't sit well with him and he kept up his tirade, while the customer was on the phone .. bet her ear stung, along with ours.
after he walked back to his area, i waited a minute got myself all ticked off and nervous, headed back and told him, "not even my kids talk to me that way, i won't allow you to. possibly you do not know how to communicate without yelling. thanks for the opportunity .. don't bother to pay me. goodbye."
shook his hand [wanted to spit on it] and left.
jeanette said 'she thought it was a 'cultural' behavior as these guys are korean' i say, no matter what culture your from, if you had gone to 'vanderbilt university' and spent enough time there to get an m.a. in electrical engineering ..
you have some people management skills thrown in there. guess not.
oh bother .. he's called twice now.
he wants to pay me [i didn't even have time to fill out the paper work] apologize and explain his stressors. he wants to talk to me? like i care about your stressors .. come on.?
so -- off to job hunt again. sigh and i would of loved the job too ..
jeanette and i exchanged phone numbers so that was good.
tuesday mid-morning
aha - jeanette just called.. after i left, he asked her if she was offended and she told him "yes, both of us were. you made it sound as if we were trying to cheat the lady" and i thought she had to much sheep in her. hence his call to me .. neato ~ neato .. maybe there are some all-right ladies in this backwards part of the biblebelt .. i figured by her behavior she was cow-towed. not so .. way to go jeanette

that didn't sit well with him and he kept up his tirade, while the customer was on the phone .. bet her ear stung, along with ours.
after he walked back to his area, i waited a minute got myself all ticked off and nervous, headed back and told him, "not even my kids talk to me that way, i won't allow you to. possibly you do not know how to communicate without yelling. thanks for the opportunity .. don't bother to pay me. goodbye."
shook his hand [wanted to spit on it] and left.
jeanette said 'she thought it was a 'cultural' behavior as these guys are korean' i say, no matter what culture your from, if you had gone to 'vanderbilt university' and spent enough time there to get an m.a. in electrical engineering ..
you have some people management skills thrown in there. guess not.
oh bother .. he's called twice now.
he wants to pay me [i didn't even have time to fill out the paper work] apologize and explain his stressors. he wants to talk to me? like i care about your stressors .. come on.?
so -- off to job hunt again. sigh and i would of loved the job too ..
jeanette and i exchanged phone numbers so that was good.
tuesday mid-morning
aha - jeanette just called.. after i left, he asked her if she was offended and she told him "yes, both of us were. you made it sound as if we were trying to cheat the lady" and i thought she had to much sheep in her. hence his call to me .. neato ~ neato .. maybe there are some all-right ladies in this backwards part of the biblebelt .. i figured by her behavior she was cow-towed. not so .. way to go jeanette
Monday
jobs i'm working my way through

dreams
another one of those dreams tossing eggs at pans cooking at 'the resort'
i'm frozen as the door opens and loads of people rush in yelling orders towards the counter.
I can't - move - feels like trying to walk against a hard surf.
I can't - make a decision.
ka - blam - o -
all sudden - im running full-on crazy trying to do it all and of course ..
there's Kenny fretting away in the corner.
absolutely had to make myself wake up.
more on dreams
i dreamt of susan again - she comes to me tall, blonde, looking great and happy.
she would be 30 this last mother's day. don't know why i still dream of her off and on. i wish she were here.
had another chase dream. same house dark and gloomy with a narrow staircase up. trying to get my brothers away from this "thing" that we can't see. we know it's chasing us toward the staircase. there's just no way i'm going to take them up there, something up there is worse than what is chasing us. i hate them, i make myself wake up and have to tell myself it's just a dream. wake in panic and it takes me a couple of hours to get it out of my head.
another is fighting with jacob the way my brothers and i used to fight.
i laugh at those now but back then it was intense. the time i finally broke the "hands off" barrier we had between us and threw that bell from the camel bench stool, almost hitting tim in the eye, still makes me shudder. boy could we fight - the three of us.

traveling
jon and i are talking about planning a trip to Seattle way. working on a few stops along the way.
Colorado
j ~ of the ~ oh ~ so gentle hands, dark, soft eyes and a voice that makes me quiver ~ said "of course" when i asked if i could drop by.
man of few words.
jake and robert - want to see how those guys are.
California
micheal ~ (jordan and crystal just left out of his place)
renee' ~ put a new trailer on the lot. want to see if my garden is still there and whatever other wonders he's planted. of all the gardens i've done .. that is the one i miss the most.
Washington
while i'm up Washington way, i am going to head to Ilwaco and look for susans gravesite. see what's involved in getting her moved to TN. if cost is totally out of line for my budget, than i'll get a headstone up. roy said he looked and couldn't find it. bet he hasn't talked to the owners of the land. wonder if opal is still alive, she would know.

Friday
what's your name again?
names and just what do they mean anyway
hey - jon ... umm . naw ... jord no-o-o ... jake - oh heck
whatever your name is !!
hmmm, caught myself usin' jons name in place of [enter any name that starts with a j] tend to do that a lot.
my mother would do it consistently and it didn't make sense to me since i was the only girl child and why in the world would she have to go through all three of my brothers names in order to get to mine.
jon doesn't tweak on me when it happens.
jon reminds me a lot of my brother tim .. when tim wasn't pushin' the needle.
not sure why because they aren't anything alike.
where is
thought about looking for tim.
if his drug and prostitute binges continued down the path he started back in his teens, he is dead and i just hope he had someone with him.
Scary stuff. i'd like to know if he is dead, if not - i want to know what kind of shape he is in.
both pat and tim weren't strong enough to get through the hellish up-bringing we endured. pat picked up that rifle knowing what he was goin to do - well - so did tim with his drugs - in my lame ass opinion. such a waste. yeah, i cry for us less now though, headway there
