OK, Im going to rant a bit here. I was enthralled in the TV series Sleeper Cell, and just as you would figure, the last one they aired, I missed because I forgot to program it into my recorder. That pi§§es me off because by the time they bring the re-run, I'll be gone. Can anyone give me a short recap or tell me how it ended? Sure would be nice. I looked for it on LimeWire, but no luck or I would have illegally watched it then. Finally, though now that the writer's strike is over, I am starting to get 2007 episodes of CSI, Miami CSI, Ghost Whisperer, Medium, and Bones without putting up with re-runs. At least I can count on that.
I'm also getting used to some english language programs from England (BBC) such as Spooks, One Foot in the Grave, My Family, - the last two are funny and I wish I could record them for my daughter. She has a collection of Absolutely Fabulous, and I really enjoyed watching these two ladies doing their thing. Spooks is a spy series and really shows what some people and politicians are capable of. Even though they are just TV shows, you'd be surprised as to how close to the 'real deal' they really are. I have asked my ex son-in-law (my landlord) to change the filter in the air-vent above my stove because it does not work - smoke all over the place when I bake or fry.. but he has not done it yet and it's been weeks. So, I'm getting mad... I think I will fry some smelly fish, open my door and let the smoke wander through the staircase so that everyone in the house can get a hint. There is no smoke-detector in here or it would go off at least a few times a day. Maybe I should get one and let that thing go off at midnight to wake everyone up. That's what I'll do, if I can find one that I don't have to screw on the ceiling, need it portable so that the noise will carry out into the hallway. Yup, that's my next project. Or I wish I could find one of those blow-horns out of a can, that will wake them up. Done ranting now, getting ready for my weekend.. gosh, charging my camera, charging my handy, checking if I have enough in my current oxygen bottle, getting several bags ready for my laptop, all the postcards I've received already, and naturally my make-up, medication, and change of clothes. By the time I'm done doing all that, I'll be crispy. Going to shut down my internet and play a game to relax me a bit before I get to the busy stuff. I hope all of you have a great, and peaceful weekend too. Lots of Love,  |

Hi all!
My vent today? People who have no idea how to drive. Do these people become blind, deaf and stupid when they get behind the wheel of a car? It's a 10 minute drive from my house to the kids school, it took me 30 minutes to get home from the school, mainly because of 2 people who were afraid to turn left at an intersection until there were no cars in sight! Arrrrrrrr! Seriously, I'm suffering from road rage. They are so lucky that I don't live in California, I'd have shot someone today! ;) Also, for some reason, the moms of the kids that were in Sydney's class last year have been snubbing me this week. Why? I don't know. So, today, when I went to pick up the kids, I asked the main culprit what the heck was going on. Her response "Well, your daughter is in the german immursion class now, why do we still have to talk to you, go make friends with the moms of the kids in Sydney's class. I asked her why she would be so mean. Her response "you obviously think you're better than us, otherwise why would you put your daughter in the German class? Why? Because I'm German dumb a$$, that's why. That's the reason that my kids go to that school, there are schools closer to our house than this one. As for thinking I'm better than them, I'm not the one that stopped talking to them, they are. Good riddance, I have no use for people like that. :( Time for a beer! :) |

Momma C, I hope your wkd was a good one! If I was there I would go and slap your ex son-in-law SILLY! I don't know what the laws are there, but here it is illegal for a landlord to rent out a place without a smoke/carbon monoxide detector. They have those new ones now that you can plug in! I would get one of those and set it off at 3am or something just to p*ss them off! Maybe play your music really loud too! Play your Metallica! LOL! That's ridiculous that you have to worry about things like that on top on everything else! Geeezzzz! I wish I knew what TV show you were talking about. Have you tried to find it on YouTube maybe? They might at least have a clip. I wonder if my ex sis-in-law would know the show. She lives in the UK. I'll ask when I talk to her. That sucks when you watch a show all season long and then miss the finale! |

It's rant time! LOL! Family members who know that it's physically impossible for you to be somewhere, or do something on their time schedule, and then lay down ultimatums and take you on a major guilt trip which has enough energy behind it to send you around the world and back! |

Meanwhile, his mother and the stepfather's wife, my aunt, and my cousin's wife and their children and my other cousins went right on eating like this was normal. My hands were shaking. So it went like this (and this is no exaggeration) - "Happy birth-day to you - " "And another thing - I want bagpipers at the funeral." "Happy birth-day to you - " "Bagpipers? What? Are you nuts? We're German. Germans don't have bagpipers." "Hap-py birth-day dear Jude-y" "I don't care. It's my funeral I want bagpipers there." "What? Are you nuts?" Happy birthday to me. |

Oh Judy, I'm about to blow a gasket today! My family are the worst guilt trippers in the world, and the conversation you just mentioned sounds like something that happens in my family all of the time! Or at times the complete opposite! The tension is so thick, you couldn't cut it with an electric knife!. and everyone is just quietly seething! I've been guilted all day so bad I could scream! Actually, it didn't start today, but there is an event going on today for Thanksgiving. I've gotten a dozen emails, and the phone has rang since I opened my eyes this morning! I have already turned off my phone, and am not going to answer anymore emails. BUT, I will surely pay for this! |

I'm the one behind them, pounding on the steering wheel and screaming, "Pull into the intersection!" There's a break but they have no time to turn. And so "we" go on waiting. |

LMAO, will do, but remember, I have lots of protection. Since adding the newest member to my family I now have; 4 rabbits 3 dogs 1 bird 1 fish It's the fish you have to be worried about, I dare you to stick your finger in his tank. He may just be a goldfish, but he's got spunk. :) Darnit, have to go finish cooking. If puppy boy lets me I'll come back later. :) |

... and here I thought I was the only stalker attracter! I guess it takes the pressure off me though. Judy, please don't mess with my vehicles or continuously call me in the middle of the night for 2 yrs. and make my dog go crazy running and growling from door to door okay! Someone already has that job! LOL! |

Well isn't this ironic... speaking of stalkers! Stalker boy strikes again! Why do stupid people get sick pleasure by calling over and over again in the middle of the night, only to say nothing? Well I guess it's better than the "I'm watching you" calls, but it's still a kind of an implied thing now. Two yrs of this has my last nerve frayed!! The cops do nothing, and I end up being awake the entire night! So tired of this dammit! And to think... I've only got 5 months left on a useless "no contact" order! Not even a damn restraining order, which is also just a useless piece of paper, while Nigel goes out and gets loaded and drugged out, and then decides it will be fun to call! Well I guess since I'm wide awake, I may as well go kick some butt on here. If you see me going off on someone that is just an idiot, you'll know why right? ;) |

Hi Cher, I was just going to write you an email. I don't have too much time to write much today, because I am "expecting" my brother to be here soon, and he better I tell you! I got robbed lastnite! I know you probably don't have to ask who was behind that! I was gone to the store for less than half an hr. My door didn't latch again, because dear bro has had more important things to do... like going to the bar maybe... than to show up yet, to fix these things like he was suppose to. I came home, and had a weird feeling. Something seemed out of place. I brushed it off for awhile, but then I started to notice things. I started to look around, and found out I had money and jewellery stolen, and that my front door was unlocked. It was all of the money I had left until payday, and the jewellery that was taken, quite incoincidentally just happened to be a chain and pendant, that I had made for "N", and took with me when I left. Then this morning, I also noticed that my pain killers were gone too! I can't get them re-filled for another 8 days. I feel violated! At first I was scared when I finally realised someone had been in here, and then thoughts that there could still be someone here hiding! Then when I ruled that out, it dawned on me, that someone must have been watching me leave. I had taken Niki with me, because she loves her car rides! So they obvously knew that the dog was with me. The cops didn't show up until about 3 hrs after I called, and then were just useless as usual anyway. They said they were going to investigate, but I know how that usually goes! ;) I think I'm going to lose my ever loving mind! |

Oh I hate those things too Cher! I've won more lotteries, gotten more inheritances, and gotten "found" bank acct. money than could last me 2 lifetimes! I feel sorry for the people that actually fall for these things, and send their hard earned money to these scammers!
