So with all the budget cuts, the cuts that only affect people that really need the help, well after being at my Dad's today, I am ticked. My Dad used to have this great nurse that took care of all his meds. Due to budget cuts, all the competent people at the VA have been re-positioned, and all the idiots are taking over. In checking my Dad's pill boxes, this person that is supposed to know what they are doing had screwed them all up. Double doses of this...zero doses of that. And, for the past 2-3 days my dad had told me he wasn't feeling well. Could not eat. Etc. Now I know why. To think this is how the US treats their veterans. Party on at the White House!

I got 4 female rats today. They're actually family. My little guy Oreo is blood. His mom and 3 of his sisters came to live with us today. The woman I got him from was no longer able to care for them due to schooling, so I bought them. They're so adorable. I'll post pictures when I can get good ones, but for now I'll just give the names. The mother of the litter is Possum. She looks just like a mini opossum. The other 3 are Bat Rat, Nibbler, and Storm Cloud (aka Stormy). They're obviously all female as I've already said. I'm considering letting Redeemer breed with the matriarch once or twice. I can't let Oreo breed for obvious reasons. Skunk and Money, wouldn't be a good i…

just to be clear, this isn't hate directed at the ghosties of the chat-room, it's just something funny I came up with (had help of course) “run run as fast as you can, hurry hurry or you'll get the ban. If you go down the path of the troll, out with your dam soul. Do not tick off a ghostie, for I hear he.ll is rather toasty. If you get Charles I have bad news, he's got a massive boot to use. If you get Karen I would watch yourself - for only after an apology, will her anger be put on the shelf. If you get McCookie I would run for the hills, for her anger will give you the chills. If you get Rachel brace for impact, for I hear her slap gives off a rather nasty CRACK…

Made me laugh!!! Video Hugs Caroline x x

I don’t know who all has heard about this, but a couple days ago a tourist sub taking 5 tourists down to the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean imploded killing all of them. One was a 19 year old kid, and another was the CEO of the company that organizes these deep sea tours. If I remember right anyway. They were reportedly only about 1600 feet from the bow when it happened. They had lost all contact with the surface prior to the implosion. But as they descended there was some kind of unnoticed fault in their submersible and in a nanosecond they were all dead. The pressure at those depths would compress a full grown human into an object the size of a marble. They were all dead…

The stats might not all be correct, and it's a Jim Carrey tweet that Jim Carrey didn't really tweet, but it's funnier than heck: "@ItIsJimCarrey - Gay marriage is legal in 6 states, but having sex with a horse is legal in 23 states. Good job, America." Source: @ItIsJimCarrey, official parody account. No affiliation with actor and funny-man, Jim Carrey.

I love astronomy. I'm always watching series like The Universe on TV. I actually have the first 3 seasons on DVD. Netflix is a gold mine for astronomy documentaries. Aliens are fun to see on occasion, but I'm talking about interplanetary and intergalactic studies. I love seeing nebulae. My favorite is The Pillars Of Creation. But neutron stars, quasars, and black holes fascinate me also. I almost went nuts when we finally got an actual pic of a black hole recently. I absolutely studying everything in the unknown. I had thought at one time about going into astronomy, but I've never been a good student. I don't have the self discipline to devote myself to my studies to earn…

I gotta say, I never saw this happening. I just assumed they would all die in prison. I have to wonder though, if people should be worried? https://www.yahoo.com/gma/charles-manson-follower-leslie-van-201000979.html

I thought I was so clever when I drew this a couple years ago. Turns out...a whole lotta other people had/have ideas about the various flags to represent the LGBTQIA+ community and it's allies. 31 Different Pride Flags and What Each Stands For Happy Pride Month!

So, I am looking to get back into my old profession of accounting. I know I have a lot of catching up to do, so, I am looking for a place where I can purchase college textbooks - teachers editions. (Used) I believe if I can find such an animal, I can do the catching up I need to do on my own. Any suggestions? I have the degree and the license, I just need to catch up. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Just curious. I decided to go out as a Playboy bunny, a friend had a custom for me and it fit well and makes my legs look fantastic.

This is a game that I have been waiting for, for a while now. It's scheduled for a release sometime this summer, but no official release date has been revealed yet. I'm posting because it's main character that you play as is transgender, and it implements a lot of the issues we face as the LGBTQ+ community. I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for it. It's going to be released in several episodes, but I can't wait to get it as soon as it's out. Here's a few links about it, including one that is just an entire page about only the game, even though there's not a whole lot there. https://www.radiotimes.com/technology/2020-04-05/tell-me-why-release-date/ https…

Well, I was asked by a Adult Sunday school teacher a month or so ago to do a Sunday school class on My Style weekly article , Self Serve 8-5-2014 by Dale Brumfield . It was small but dedicated class with about ten in attendance . I was able to share much of my life growing up and at age 6 , wanting to be a little girl .

I would like to inform you that i have created a youtube channel!! a lot of people have been asking me to do this and i finally have the confidence to do so. I think it is great and shows how today a person as young as me can have the confidence to come out with any bullying etc. I think that should be shown because it could reach someone like you when you were younger wanting to come out and struggling, that they can do it and society now is really different and can accept you for you. So PLEASE by all means share the youtube link on your facebook, twitter etc as i think its something that could ultimately change a persons ife. Please let me know what you think. https:/…

I have a psycho that is stalking me. I responded to an ad on CraigsList that seemed innocent (god I feel like an idiot now). The ad said the person was looking for a hunting mentor. Someone to teach a person the ins and outs, dos and don'ts, and all that of hunting.The poster said they grew up on the islands, moved stateside a few years ago, and recently developed an interest. But (I'm going to use the masculine here) he had never used a gun. And I started hunting when I was 5. So I know big game and small game. So I thought "What the hell?" and responded. I said in my initial email that the first thing I needed to know was whether he ws interested in small game or big ga…

Florida’s School-to-Prison Pipeline is Largest in the Nation More than in any other state, students in Florida are being arrested for incidents that once would have merited a trip to the principal's office.

Well, I was out shopping in snugg-ish jeans, a pretty blue casual top, and ballet wedges (a one inch wedge), and topping it off with a blue cross-body purse and my makeup. This is an every day style for me. One that garners the odd kook from people on the buss or in a restaurant. From the few stares or light snickers I get (and which I brush off), I assume I don't pass. Soooo I was out playing my favorite sport, (shopping even if I can't afford to buy anything). With a handful of things to try on, I headed to the dressing room. I expected the usual- being handed the number card and shown towards the men's side,. But to my surprise, the lady said, "this way miss" and …

Well, we survived the winds, although I confess I have not yet been outside this morning to check the roof. It's really cold, snow and mud covered, and I just am not ready to go through that door yet. Doors are funny things. There is a big purple door (I didn't do that, it came purple, the same weirdly ugly purple as the living room, although the bleaching from sunlight has done it some favors and it's less ugly now) between me and the world. Sometimes I resent the hell out of that door, and sometimes it's my best friend. Funny how I externalize my internal stressed onto an object like that, make it some sort of huge symbol in my mind and focus all the feelings I don…
