Greetings All!

This is just a short one to say, skullduggery is afoot again at work. I haven't gotten anything official yet, nothing WRITTEN, so I'm just cooling my jets and waiting.

What is it? They are talking about shifting people around on shifts again. I technically should not be worried because after all I've been with NYPD since September 1995, and therefore have the most seniority there (except for The Boss Lady). According to our contract, they are supposed to respect seniority and leave people who have it alone. However, the company I work for takes special delight in VIOLATING our contract and doing what they please until they are sued and brought up on charges. Why? It is a form of intimidation and bullying. They do this to FRIGHTEN people. In this day and time with the economy so bad no on wants to lose their job so they will shut up and put up in order to keep getting a paycheck.

A few years ago I would have gone along and played nice, but not now. Even though I haven't gotten anything except whisperings in the wind, ie: GOSSIP, I've got my weapons ready.

Number one they already know that I have psych and emotional issues, but instead of accommodating me, they seemed dead set on HARASSING me to the point of me either having another nervous breakdown, or causing me to quit. In either case, if I am driven to either I will sue. Period.

The last time they took me and changed me from one shift to another, I had a horrible time adjusting and after two years I'm still not properly adjusted. Which I suspect is due to the fact that I suffer from ADHD and Anxiety Attacks. . . . . . .

As I said before, I'm watching these folk with a GIMLET EYE!

Plus, I'm praying. Whatever they do, is because GOD allowed them to do it, not just because they wanted to. I must consider the fact that perhaps this might be the time for me to leave. . . . . . . .

I wanted to retire early four years ago, and God wouldn't let me go, perhaps it was not in HIS timing. . . .


 

Hola!

I 'll ask it like ex-President Bush. Did you miss me? I guess you did, cuz I got a couple of those computerized emails letting me know at least the computer did. I promise to come back and post more often if you will just leave me alone. . . . . . . .

It's getting so that emails are the new annoying phone calls. . . . . .

Via Con Dios!
 

Hola!

I know. I have not been here in a month of Sundays! What have I been doing? I've been sort of chilling. More like sleeping my butt off. I've been tired as heck. Ever since NaNoWriMo I have been sleeping like the dead.

I caught a horrid cold that I can't get rid of. Every time I come down with it, I'm sick for a few days, then better two days later. The next week I'm sick as a dog all over again. I've never had so many colds in all my life.

I HAVE NOT finished editing Night Riders. I've been too out of it to do more than a few pages at a time. I was just getting into it when the Star Trek Site I'm a member of had some kind of upheaval and the two opposing parties decided to split. Some going to a brand new site. Others staying where they were. Supposedly there was a big pow-wow between leaders and it was decided that the old site will close down and everyone who wanted to, would move to the new site. This meant taking down and saving tons of matirial that one had on the site. Me especially with Free Enterprise. I had to do a lot of scrambling.

I got everything moved over to the new site, and guess what? The next day I click on the new web address and the site was not there! I could have peed right there! I just happened to click on the OLD web address and the site was back up and running. Come to find out that the two Admirals ( they really take rank seriously on these Trek Sites you know ) decided to bury the hatchet and move back. Why? because it was too expensive to keep both sites running at one time. So they decided to move back where most of everybodys hard work was and start afresh.

Starting afresh meant getting used to a total renovation of the site! It literally looks like a starship on there now! I love the new look, but all of the new bells and whistles are driving me nuts! I'm not used to them yet. But, I'm getting there.

As for FaceBook, I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love it because I can communicate with friends and like minded people. I hate it because it is run by a bunch of skells. Zuckerberg is the chief of them all!

Anyway, they redid their timeline and added all kinds of bells and whistles. I believe it was to keep up with the Joneses. Twitter updated so FaceBook had to too. . . . . . .

So I spent yesterday morning updating. It looks pretty good if I may say so myself.

I also sent out birthday greetings to a friend. He is turning 50. I remember when I turned 50, that was 6 years ago. . . . . .


That's My Story!
 

Hola!

Such a horrible creature am I! I haven't been back here since December 7th. Terrible, just terrible! Well, I pray next year will be a much better year for me and my writing. I finished my NaNoWriMo Book in one try, thought I had to go right down to the wire!

What did I gain from that experience? Learned that I can write and produce a 50k novel in 30 days! Now I'm in the process of editing it and I plan to e-publish it sometime early next year. Honestly I don't care if they give it away for free, as long as I get the public exposure. This was also a very new experience for me because I wrote a detective novel instead of something Star Trek related. This is after I've written 127 chapters of a Star Trek fan fiction novel that's still going on. I want to end the thing, but it will not end.

Well, this is my final entry for 2011. God willing I will be back next year and much more often than this. This is so totally unlike me not to keep up with my blog.

Oh and another thing. I've got four blogs now. Perhaps that's why I'm too busy to post here. . . . . . That and TWITTER!


 

Greetings!

I've decided that I'm going to go whole hog. I'm going to clean my book up and publish it for free on Create Space. Of course this is to take up a lot of my time but I really wanted to publish something and now is the right time. It's time to strike the iron while it's hot. So, I'm gonna go for it!
 

Hi!

I have done absolutely no writing for the past three days. I'm just too bushed. Plus I think I'm coming down with something. Why not? Everyone else in my office is sneezing, coughing and wheezing. SIGH!
 

Hola!


Well, I finished NaNoWriMo! I literally went down to the wire. I actually thought I was going to have to go all the way down to the last hour, but at about 830am I found out I had more than enough words to pass my goal! Now according to my word counter on the word processing program I was using, I had typed 50,512 words. 512 over the total I needed to write.

So when I validated my words, it came out to 97,000 or some crazy number like that! OMG! Did I actually write that darned much? Eeeeeeeee!

In order to celebrate, I laid my butt back down in bed and went to sleep. For the entire month of November I had been running on empty. No sleep, very little food and nothing but writing, writing and more WRITING! Plus, I was coming down with something that had me oinking and hacking, and had my poor throat raw. COUGH!

The rest of the day went quietly, but for my weekly call with my sister Angle. She suffers from a spinal degeneration disease which had her in a wheelchair when she’s out and about and in the bed all day at home. A lot of times it is while she is alone because her husband works, and he daughter is out at school. She is a typical person who doesn’t trust strangers in her house and won’t get a home attendant.

So while we were on the phone praying and fellowshipping, she had a mini stroke which paralyzed her whole body. Since she had no one with her I stayed on the phone with her until her daughter got home and saw to her mother’s welfare.

Angel’s daughter is like me when I was younger. I took care of a very sick mother also. I pray for her daily as well as her mother. I thank God that she is a very fervent young lady who loves God and His Word, and is very dedicated to taking care of her Mom. However, it can be disheartening because she is a young lady and she wants to be able to live her young life without having to be tied down. However, I believe this is the very best thing for her. Rather than her running the streets looking for love in all the wrong places. . . . . . You know?


 

Hola!

I hate to beat a dead horse but, it seems I'm always complaining about work. NYPD seems to be the most ILLOGICAL placed I've EVER worked in my entire life!

This weekend two women were brought into the Precinct and into my office because they had been robbed. One woman was crying and screaming ( kinda difficult to get your work done with all of the drama, but this is something I deal with on a daily basis when I'm there - now you see why I need therapy. . . .) and the other was calm and collective. The screaming one was on her cellphone crying that she had been robbed and heavens knows what other horrors had befallen her. It turns out that she was speaking to her Mom long distance and getting her Mom upset because she couldn't be there.

Well, the officer wrote out the complaint as a ROBBERY, then he took the two women upstairs to talk to the detectives. After speaking with the detectives who don't play any games or take no crap, the two decided to change their story. Why? Because you can get arrested lying to the police. I've seen that happen countless times. Especially when dealing with a felony like robbery!

It's usually delivery people who lie and say they were robbed, and steal the delivery money to keep for themselves. The detectives always find their butts out and two or three days later their bringing them in all cuffed up.

Back to the story . . . . .

The officer who wrote the original report for robbery now had to re-write the report that it was no longer robbery but grand larceny. The lady confessed she got into an argument with five guys, while drunk as a skunk, dropped her purse and didn't realize it was missing until she called the credit card people and found out her credit card had been used at McDonalds! That's a grand larceny. So the officer re-wrote the report but it still sounded like a robbery. When I read it I told him that, but he was very nasty about it, so I put it into the computer exactly like how it was written, as is my job.

The next day The Boss Lady gives me grief about the report. Why did I enter the report when it was written incorrectly? First of all, I told the officer it wasn't written like a grand larceny, but a robbery, even though he had wrote it over. But, he didn't want to hear what I said. Plus HIS SUPERVISOR signed the blamed thing! It was HIS SUPERVISORS duty to review the report and if it was written wrong he was supposed to call the officer on the carpet and MAKE HIM re-write it properly. See the Supervisor can do that because he is a SERGEANT, while I am just a civilian clerk. The guys don't have no respect for me because I'm not even a cop like them, so they ignore me. Plus, It is not my job to go and chase down cops if the screw up reports, my job is to take care of the paperwork, enter it into the computer and that's it.

However, when I was trying to explain this to The Boss Lady, all of a sudden she tells me, "Cut the conversation.". Now why did you ask me the question if you didn't want to hear the answer? Then she tells me, "They are going to really come after you for this." and I told her "LET THEM COME! I am perfectly capable of verbally defending myself!" It's as if she is trying that bully and intimidation crap with me again, but it's not gonna work. I've got NYPD's ticket and I am not gonna let them throw me into a mental tail spin like they used to years ago! In fact, I want them to step to me so I can tell them a thing or two!

I am sick to death of NYPD making the little people ( PAA's ) responsible for supervisory tasks, then hanging you out to dry. Even The Boss Lady does that. It's like no one wants to be responsible anymore! I mean really, How can I be responsible for what a cop wrote in a report? He was the one present on the scene with the victims, not me. What idiots!

I just wanted to get that off my chest before I go back to NaNoWriMo!





 

Hola!

Well, I did a most radical thing yesterday. I shaved my head bald. Now I look like "Grasshopper" from that old "Kung-Fo" series.

Why did I do that? because I'm going bald. I, a woman, have Male Pattern Baldness. Funny I noticed it back in August, but I really didn't want to freak myself out about it. I figured I was just seeing things. But when I went to trim my already short hair, I noticed I could literally see down into my scalp on the top of my head. The hair in the back of my head is long and thick, but the front is thinning out.

So, I soaped my head up and with the assistance of two mirrors and two razors, I shaved my head. I don't think I'll be sporting my bald head just yet. It's too cold. probably next spring and Summer after I've told enough people about it. My poor church family . . . . . . . . . .

The upside to this, I can buy a couple of short and snazzy wigs! I know just were to go too. There are a couple of places up at the Wholesale District where I can get a couple of nice ones for cheap. In the meantime I will keep my noggin covered with turbans.

Now, I know who my friends ( who had breast cancer and who had to shave their hair off because it fell out ) felt. Sigh!

Thank God, I know HIM because I could be devastated right now. But I'm not. My husband is my Maker and He knows my frailties. But, He did not send His Son to die for my hair, Jesus came to die for ME. Period, Dot..


 

Hola!

What the heck is static hair? Well, the worst case was Don King. Remember him? Well I have the very same thing on the top of my head. I'm supposed to have a short afro, now that I no longer have dread locks, but all of a sudden the hair on the top of my head has become straight and static.

I got so sick of it yesterday, I cut it all down. That's the only way I'm not going to look like Dagwood Bumstead! I'm seriously considering putting my dreads back. . . . . . .

Crazy hair!

Oh! My NaNoWriMo total as of today is: 30,407! I may not make the 50K finish line, but I'm going to race till the very end! I AM NOT GOING TO QUIT! Besides, I'm having too much fun with my characters!
 

Hola!


Unreal, what can I tell you.

I decided to do a word recount for NaNaWriMo just to make sure I had the correct number of words. When LO AND BEHOLD, I discovered that I had LOST AN ENTIRE CHAPTER! How did I manage to do that on a computer. I don't know!

I was so distraught I went on the NaNoWriMo FaceBook page and put the question to the continuous discussion forum they have going on there. I asked if I should quit. Yep, I definitely felt like that. Should I go on and complete the contest without the missing chapter, or should I take a day and just work on restoring the lost chapter, or wait till the end to do it.

Well I got answers. The answer was to continue writing ( and write an extra chapter to make up for the lost 3,000. words ) and work on the lost chapter after the contest is over. Soooooo, that's what I'll do. I'm tempted to work on it right now because that lost chapter had an essential scene! Oui Vay!

I'm off to hit the rack!


 

HOLA!

Yep! I'm back for more punishment! I'm up to 18812! I'm going to make a conscious effort to really write up a storm for the rest of this week so I can catch up. This is the end of the second week and I really should be working on the second half of my story.

Pssst! Wanna for a secret? I'm playing the whole thing by ear! I have the basic story down pat but I feel like I'm the USS ENTERPRISE. I'm boldly going where no man has gone before. I've always wanted to write a detective novel and I'm finally doing it. Thanks to the 19 plus years of experience of working for NYPD. There are other things too. like the two Main Characters working with each other to solve cases and then there is the Vampire issue. Wouldn't want to forget that one, would I?

Well, It's back to slaving away at the computer Keyboard! I gripe and grouse, but I LOVE it!

Ta-Ta!
 

Hola

Sorry I haven't been here for a while. I've been really busy toiling away at my NaNoWriMo novel. I can't believe I've been having so much fun!

I don't understand why I didn't partake of this adventure a lot sooner. I had made two attempts in the past and failed miserably. possibly because I was going through a hell of a lot with Mom while she was alive. Then I had MY OWN DEMONS to deal with.

Right now I'm enjoying working my two main characters, and writing in a totally different element. For the past year or so I've been writing Star Trek/Andromeda fanfiction. Now I'm writing a present day detective type novel. Well I'm working up to it being a detective novel. Right now it's more human or Vampire events. That's all I can say for now.

But, as of yesterday I am up to 14,130 words! I actually sat down for a three hour session with my i-pod in my ears, listening to Bob Marley and wrote 3,000 words! I just kept going and going and going!

I would not mind doing this on a professional basis. . . . . . . . .

Perhaps, one day God Willing. . . . .

That's all for now. . . . . .

I promise to be back soon



Verse Of The Day

“God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, Fall on the earth; likewise He speaks to the showers and to the downpour of His mighty rains.” Job 37:5-6 AMP



 

Hi!

What has begun? NaNoWriMo! I've already made my first entries. written nearly 6,000 words already. I had kind of a head start because I had a story languishing on the back burner for years. I had only written like two chapters and just left it. Now was a great time to pick up where i had left off. So I did so and I'm having so much fun with it!

I'm just so sorry I no longer have access to WiFi at work like I used to. But, that's alright, I'll get around that somehow. I'm already using what quiet time to write, write, write! What ever time I have. Lately it has been quite busy in there. But, this is only for a month and I always regreted I never completed the contest back in 2008. Now, I can't say I never completed NaNoWriMo!

As for my health, I've been out sick for a series of ailments for the past few months, so my doctor finally sent me for a battery of tests. I got the results back yesterday, plus a note from the doctor stating that I was suffering from severe anemia. o_O? I know I have been off my feed lately, but what would cause severe anemia? Of course you know I will have to look this up on WebMd to find out what's what before I go to the doctor. I like to have my facts straight before I go back. I for one done't like to swallow hook, line and sinker what doctors tell you these days. Sad to say a lot of doctors are in the profession to get money under the table from the pharmacudical ( I know I spelled that wrong, I'm not in the mood to correct ) industry.

I used to go to a doctor three years ago, like every time I went to his office, his office would be filled with well dressed men and women toting briefcases and laptops. One day I asked the receptionist "Who the heck are those people." Her answer: "Drug company representatives." That's all I needed to know. I no longer darkened his door. . . . . . .

I'm off to write!


 

Greetings!

Despite many setbacks. No WiFi at work and just plain being too busy to some things I have started NaNoWriMo! I've retooling a story that I've started already and never really finished. I've always wanted to complete it and perhaps turn it into a book. Well here is my chance.

Over the weekend I'd writing a really long chapter which was nearly 2000 words long. I've decided that if I wrote at least that every day for the enter month of November, I would be able to complete the task of writing 50k words!

I was planning to continue everything tonight/this morning but it was simply wild at work! I totally forgot last night was Halloween, and forgot that crazy Halloween Parade comes through our precinct, and with it comes all of the nuts!

Plus there was tons of paperwork left. No one from the first two shifts came in so there was much paperwork left for me and my co-worker George to do. He was sooooooo happy that I came in because I'm the heavy hitter. I'm used to do most of the work so he can sit back and chill. And that is exactly what he did too! he sat back and chilled and did VERY LITTLE while I busted my nuggets. It was so busy that I didn't even take lunch or meal. What I did do is ask the desk sergeant if I could take my meal on the end. Which means since I didn't take my lunch hour, I could opt to leave an hour early. He said yes, I packed up my marbles and went home.

There is so much I want to write but I am just too busted to write. I'm going to take a crash nap and God willing wake up about 1300 hours ( 1pm ) and do a little writing before I go out to Bible Class.

The last point I want to make is I personally noticed that the level of crime has picked up in our precinct since OccupyWallStreet has started. Why? Because Mayor Bloomberg has practically half of the city's police force down there. You should see it, It looks like a blasted armed camp down there! Of course all of the skells know this and are out in force doing burglaries, robberies, grand larcenies, etc. Personally I wish Bloomberg would stop coddling those dope sucking, fleebitten, layabouts, arrest them and drag them out of there. I know one thing, the owners of Zuccatti Park, if those protesters ever leave they would have to taer that park up and rebuild it from the damage they did to it.

What a freaking mess. . . . . .

Well, that's all folks! Happy writing!


 

Hello!

Well after suffering tremendous setbacks, I finally managed to sign up and register for NaNo! The problem was I had originally signed up three years ago and never completed my entry. Because I had a previous account the site was not letting me sign in again. I had to sign in with a completely new account and start over from scratch. Well, I got in last night about 1030pm. Possibly there were a lot less people on the site at that time of night. I had previously tried like during the middle of the day. Not a good Idea.

I've also returned to Tumblr. Reason, I wanted to do photo commentary of some of the photos I take. Particularly the ones I recently took of Occupy Wall Street. I went down there two weeks in a row, and I'm planning to return as many times as possible to Spy Out The Land. . . . .

Just in case you might be interested in having a look see. Remember to scroll back to the beginning.

That's all for now. . . . .
 

Hola!


It all started with a letter from my complex's rent office. Today 10/25/2011 will be a MANDATORY apartment inspection and I had to be present between the hours of 8am to 12pm for someone to come by and inspect my apartment. At of this hour not a soul has showed their face! After I cleaned, swept, moped threw out and disinfected the place, too! What a severe pain in the neck. You know I'm going to call them and fuss them out for not sending someone. I specifically took the days off to clean the place up ( with the help of my cats mincing across the wet floor. . . . . . why do cats do that? ). Oh well.

Well, I have decided to enter NaNoWriMo! I haven't a clue what I'm going to write. Actually I do. I have made several attempts in the past and I'm going to take up one of those strings and run with it. This will be just a test year to see how well I can do.

This year I will be hampered because I don't have Wifi at work, but, I will be able to do most of my writing at work, and simply upload when I come home. I'll do that until I can get my own 4G card. As you can see, I've given up on the WiFi Club. What ever happened may have been done because of purely political reasons. I hear the CO did not care for us having the WiFi but because there were two heavy hitters in charge of it, he couldn't do anything about it. But since they retired someone else took over and I believe the first thing he did was to change the WPA2 code so that no one has access now. Oh it works, but if you have the old code you can't get in. So much for that, eh?

So I will have to work with what I got.

I've noticed that no I'm not on the web much anymore, I've been doing a whole lot of writing and reading, so perhaps this is a good thing.

In the meantime, I'm trying to be good and post more often here.

Until next time. . . . . . .




 

Greetings!


I used to say this all the time in jest. I found out about a week ago that it was true.

For the past year or so, I've been coming to work and getting sick. I thought it was me, because of my mental/emotional condition ( BiPolar ). But, it wasn't. It is a workplace issue. A serious one at that.

What really confirmed it for me is the fact that my other co-workers also become ill as soon as they arrive. One lady keep coughing and coughing and spraying her asthma spray. And my male co-worker sneezes constantly. He would do like 50 sneezes in a row. I do a combination of both, plus lately I have also been sick on my stomach and have been eating very little. It seems that everything I eat wants to come right back up. Ugh!

Well, one of the cops came in and mentioned the fact that she smelled mildew in our office. She stated that it must be up in the air conditioning vents and they need to be cleaned out or people are going to get sick. . . . ..DUH!

I really didn't pay heed to what she said until yesterday morning. Another of my coworkers came in and said the place really smelled BAD. Like a strong chemical odor. I didn't figure it out until I got home.

We have this air conditioning unit that runs across the back wall of our office. Every year it switches from cool to heat. Now earlier this year it started to leak all over the floor, and the poor custodian had to always bring in a mop and pail to sop up the water.

The Boss Lady called downtown and complained before someone slipped and broke their neck, or busted their
be-hind, and they rushed right out and fixed it. What ever they did, they did not clean out the wet filters and the darned things are probably filled with mold and mildew. I noticed that sometimes I put the air conditioner “on” the office stunk. But most of the time, I couldn't smell it because my nose was clogged.

Now, I'm going to have to inform The Boss Lady that we have a mold and mildew problem in the office. Now, lets see how long she takes to swing into action. The sad thing about it, she's always complaining about people always being out sick. Well lady, HELLO! This is why people are sick! Exposure to mold, mildew, mold spores is DEADLY!

Shaking my head. . . . . . . . . .

I wonder why am I always the canary in the mine?
 

Hi!

Yes, I'm making a double post today. my blog, my rules!

First Day


Yesterday was my first day with my new therapist, Paul. This really an adventure for me because the majority of therapists I've spoken to were female. Even when I had to deal with my Mom's doctors, they were all women.

Some of them were dumber than a pile of seagull poop. They claimed to be shrinks, but I personally wondered if they got their licenses from the backs of matchbook covers. Don't laugh, there used to be a time back in the day when I was young, you used to be able to get all kinds of things from matchbook covers. A preacher's license, a diploma, etc. All one had to do was fill in the cover and send it in. Now it's the internet. . . . . .

Anyway, I made sure I got enough sleep and woke up really early. I forgot this time of the year the sun doesn't rise until about 7 so I went on the computer and diddled around until 7, then went out. Stopped by Pathmark, then rushed home, washed, dressed and ran out.

Now, while I was at home I was burning up hot. So I only put on a t-shirt and a pair of long shorts and went up town. I was burning up all the way there so I did not feel the cold. Silly me should have at least taken a jacket. . . . . But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Anyway, Paul turned out to be real nice. I just have to get used to Thursday Mornings instead of Wednesday afternoons. I also have to get used to his office. His office is on the same floor but is set up opposite of the way Mikki's was. I'm glad it has a lot more room though. Mikki's looked like a closet with a desk and two chairs in it. It always made me claustrophobic . . . . . . . .

We didn't talk that much. We went over some stuff, because the EPIC system was down. The EPIC system is a nationwide, computer data base that keeps all of your medical records in case you don't know. So yes, the government can easily access your records if need be.

Well, it was down so Paul and I simply went over some highlights of my therapy. That was what I was really worried about. If I went to another therapist I wanted it to be seamless. I didn't want to sit down and regurgitate the whole thing all over again. I may as well write a book. I've been thinking of doing that. But that is another story.

Anyway, the visit went well. I found out Paul plays the guitar, so I told him about my futile efforts to learn just tuning it. He told me to keep it up and let him know the progress. I haven't told him about my Tinitus yet. . . . .

On the way back home I FROZE! Stupid, stupid, stupid! I forgot my body would cool off and adjust to the office and when I came outside, GAAKKKKK!

Well, I hotfooted home. Well I had to stop at Trader Joe's first to buy food for kitties, water for me and ground beef for me ( I no longer buy ground beef from Pathmark. ). I had brought my own handy-dandy shopping bag and was so proud I was doing my thing for the environment.
I made it all the way until I got about a block away from home. As I was walking I kept hearing these ripping sounds. And I kept looking around and didn't see anything. The next thing I know, the whole BOTTOM of my re-usable shopping bag rips out and all of my purchases rolled all over the sidewalk! 4 half gallon bottles of water, 12 cans of cat food, 10 nutrition bars, 2 packs of ground beef and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeeeee! No birdie tho.

Now, this is New York City, so not a soul helped me. No one ran up with a shopping bag to help me out or anything. In fact, this Chinese lady looked at me as if I was crazy picking my food up off the sidewalk. Was I supposed to leave it there? Not on your life bub!

Now, no matter where I go, I always carry two bags. My pooketbook and my knapsack if I'm going to work. If not, I always carry my tote bag ( or “busy bag” ) with my Kindle, a steno pad, an umbrella and a fan ( hot flashes are vicious you know ). I put the cans of cat food and meal bars in that. I had the meat in a plastic shopping bag, so I put two waters in there. And the last two I just carried loose. I came home looking like the Fish Monger's Wife. . . . . .

When I got home, I threw out the other so called reusable shopping bag I had bought. Now when I buy those bags I have to make shire their bottoms are sturdy. Me, I'm always bringing home HEAVY stuff!

Next time, I will just carry good old, reliable PLASTIC BAGS!

That was my day . . . . . . . . .


 

Hello!


Last weekend, Saturday 10/15/2011 to be exact, I went down to Occupy Wall Street. Since it is practically in my back yard. Well, I got more than I bargained for!

Poor Zuccatti Park will never be the same after this mess. Wednesday ( 10/19/2011 ) was the one month anniversary of the park being occupied by protesters. What are they protesting? Cooperate greed, that's what they are protesting! So this is why you are all living in a park, sleeping on the ground in sleeping bags, under tents and tarps, and dining on dumpster dived food. Mind you there are no Port-a-Potties set up, so everyone has to run to local restaurants to use their facilities. Of course the neighborhood businesses are pissed!

To make things worse. Occupy Wall street is not the only protest. All over the USA there are likeminded protests. There is Occupy Fort Lauderdale, Occupy Cleavland, Occupy Los Angeles, Occupy Boston, Occupy Atlanta, etc. May as well say they are all over. And all over they have commandeered parks and public spaces and moved in to live like squatters! Completely disobeying the law of course!

Here in NYC Mayor Bloomberg tried to get rid of them by having the owners of the park send in a cleaning service to clean the place. Occupy had promised to move and let them clean only if they were allowed to move back. They had a feeling they were being thrown out on their butts so they hunkered down. The Mayor didn't want an all out war, so he left them alone. What a wuss!

So of course since the mayor backed down, even more protesters showed up. So the damned park looks like a freakin' refugee camp! What the hell?

This is gonna sound crazy but I believe this is exactly what this president wants. He wants violence to break out all over the United States, so he can call martial law. Once he does that, everything will be suspended ( yes, even elections – Google “United States Martial Law” if you don't believe me ) and that unfortunately means so will elections. So if he times this right, he won't have to be reelected, he will become a dictator! Why? Because with martial Law POTUS ( President Of The United States ) is the be all to end all. And the military will take over all civil duties where it comes to law and order. Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. . . . .

Hey, I can't help it if you don't read your HISTORY! And keep up with your politics!

At first people thought it was such a good cause, but now people are finding out that OCCUPY has a dark side to it. Since they are leaderless and there is no kind of order. They kind of let anyone in. So of course you get the skells. At Occupy Wall Street there have been allegations that people's cellphone, laptops, cameras and cash have been stolen. There have been reports of rape and sexual abuse at Occupy Cleavland and Occupy Los Angeles. And at another Occupy camp, a gentleman was found with an m16 rifle and multiple rounds of ammunition! Of course this all spells trouble with a capitol T!
For the life of me, I don't understand how all of those thefts occurred at Occupy Wall Street, when the protest CAMP is SURROUNDED BY COPS 24/7! You REALLY have to have a light touch to steal with hundreds of cops around like that! Then too, the cops are not watching too closely either. . . . .

As for funds. Occupy Wall Street claims they detest Capitalism, yet they have stooped to selling t-shirts and bracelets on Twitter. I wonder did they know if they turn a profit, unless they are licensed as a non-profit organization, they will have TO PAY TAX on all of that stuff they sell!

But, most of them are stupider than a box of rocks, so they don't. . . . . . .

I guess you can tell, I'm a TEAparty activist!


Enough said!
