Cigs @ MindSay

For the past few years, I and many other ppl have been feeling like we have been living in a increasing Communist Country.  Our various freedoms and the right to do the most basic things has become illegal or taxed the hell out of.  Did our Founding Fathers NOT start this country to get away from gov't rule and stupid assinine lack of common sense?

But US Citizens do not dispare!  We are NOT alone in how our gov't is becoming a Communist Rule and telling us what we can do, how to do what they tell us we can do, and all that jive!  The Britions are no better off then we are!  Only difference is their anal retintive gov't calls their taxes and stupid ass laws "Sin Taxes".

The UK not only went after smoking but now they are going after drinking.  And cars!  Hey at least they are being fair if you ask my opinon on that!  Not only are they making it illegal to kill oneself with smoke by making it almost unattinable to smoke anywhere but your house, now the UK is hiking their already HIGH booze tax up another 6%.  They are now trying to do away with the "pub" scene.   The car issue is along the lines of SUVs and bigger vechiles.  For many US Citizens they have no clue exactly how expensive it is over in the UK. 

Case in point when us US Citizens were bitching about paying 1.70 plus a gallon on gas the UK Citizens were already paying about 3-4 bucks a gallon for gas.  So just imagine what they are paying now with US Citizens paying about 3-4 bucks a gallon for gas.  They are looking at almost a 10 dollar a gallon gas fill. 

Many British Citizens are speaking out on these "Sin" Taxes.  Baisc enjoyment for many ppl of drinking, smoking, and driving vechiles they already paid otu the ass on are now "SINS" and they will be taxed for it.  Citizens over in the UK have pointed out that their ecomony is just as shitty as the US's and the gov't is stupid ass hell for hiking these taxes because it will NOT stop ppl from drinking or smoking.  If a person wants to drink and smoke they are going to.  It won't stop them from driving their vechiles anymore than US Citizens have stopped driving big vechiles.  All it is going to do is cost the Gov't money by loss of revenue. 

And once our lovely gov'ts tax basic enjoyments to death and cause the majority of citizens in their country to stop doing what they enjoy, and cost the gov't revenue they will start taxing to death basic everyday living items even more than they already do.  Because we all know that it isn't the gov't that keeps our countries running.  It is the citizens and how they are taxed to death and then told we have no say in anything.  We are told how to live our lives, what we can and can't do.

Saying this to anyone in our gov'ts can consitute a treason act if we act against it.  Even when the US Consitution says the US Citizens have the right to rise up and clean out our own gov't.  If we should do this we are committing a treasonist act even though we have a consitutional right to do so.  In otherwords, if the Citizens of the US finally wise up and stop their bitching and act, we are dayumed.  If we continue our bitching and do nothing we are dayumed.  At least the US Citizens have a small recourse with our Consititution.  I am not sure what the British Citizens have for recourse. 

Got to love our Communist Gov'ts that use the guise of democrocy to beat down their citizens.

First thank you to atticsmouse , mamajo , and myclette for giving me encouraging words:D  You guys are the greatest!

I feel a little bit better today.  Even though I cleaned up the kids' heads, I am keeping home again today.  Their heads are sore from the dayum shampoo.  Plus once I get the last of the bedding and laundry washed in steaming hot water, I am going to treat their heads with veggie oil like Kym suggested.  I refuse to be like other parents, treat once and then send back to school.  I treated w/ the shampoo and today with veggie oil and next week with the shampoo again. 

I rearranged my doctor appointments, I didn't want to go anywhere yesterday or today.  I wanted to get my house back together.  The doctor got back to me on what I thought was scar tissue from a mole biopsy, he wants to open it completely up and see what is going on because it isn't exactly scar tissue nor is it a skin tag.  Once he sees what is going on in it he is going to completely remove the thing off and send it off for another biopsy.  That is next week.  I also changed my GI Surgan appointment to next week.

It rained all day yesterday to the point I had water coming out of the old orchard and streaming down the enbakment (how the hell do you spell that word?) on my drive and I have standing water in the one flat portion of my yard and in what use to be my garden.  I am counting my blessings though that we arne't in the areas of NE, SD, and IA that are experancing flooding.  It has been doing nothing but raining for about two weeks.  My lawn looks like a dayum jungle!  I bet if I look out there today sometime I will see minature monkey's swing from the grass and forest elephants and all those great animals!  Last night I heard my pup Dooley just going crazy barking, whinning, growling, and moaning so I went out in the storm and the sky was a funky blue green.  Well I wasn't about to screw with a possible tornado coming through so I unchained Dooley, rounded up the cats and brought them in.  Ran down to the small barn and made sure the feral cats had a blanket and then moved the vechiles back about 50 feet from the house drive.  We have an old tree that needs to come down and if a heavy enough storm comes through it will go down.  Randy and my Uncle have been just waiting for the rain to stop to bring over a loader to stablize the tree while Randy goes up the tree and start bringing down branches before they bring the tree completely down. 

Yesterday evening, we went down to my parents hosue so my mom could come through my hair thankfully I didn't have any nits, eggs, or bugs!  I would have been soooooooooo pist!  My hair may only be down to my shoulders but it is all one length and thick ass hell!  Then they kept us for BLT sandwhichs and Papo took each of the kids down to his shop and had a lil chit chat with them.  All he would tell me was that he asked them to continue helping me out.  I am wondering if he didn't pull the whole responsiblilty thing on them:D

After we came home from dinner, I put some veggie oil w/ tea tree oil on the kids heads and sent them to bed.  I sat down and just vegitated!  I read 3 smut books and listened to George Clinton and Patra until about midnight and then I finally went to bed.  I got up at 5:30 and started working on laundry again.  I checked the kids and told them to go back to sleep and then called the school about 7:30 to let them know they wouldn't be in again today.  I didn't have dial tone!  I was like dayum I wonder if there are lines down somewhere!  I went outside and realized that my lines were underground so I ran up the hill and asked my Auntie if she had phones.  They have above ground lines.  Yep.  So I used the cell phone.  Still drizzling outside and here I am dodging a Great Dane Pup with a soccer ball in mouth wanting to play, moving around the drive trying to find decent signal and it booms and the sky lights up and starts down pouring..........again!  I finally got the call made to the school.  Turned around and called the phone company and Steve got out here with in 5 minutes and fixed a broken line to the house.  The whole time laughing at Dooley.  My dog has serious issues with people but mainly men!  He kept barking, moaning, and occasionally growling at Steve!  It never fails I get the dogs that have mental issues! 

I got my phones back, loaded dishes, have done more laundry, made bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast, and took my meds.  Sebrina is a bit put out with me because this is the second day I have missed meeting her up at Native Curves for our workout but she also understands.  Today I am hoping to have my house completely back from all the washing and so happy that I dont' have to go anywhere today.  Okay to the store to get a pack of cigs. 

Mother Nature needs to hide the Viagra from Ol Man Winter!  Enough already! Take a longer cig break you two!!!  You don't need to make up every single inch of snow that the midwest/west/south states have missed out on earlier this year in snow, rain, ice, and sleet!

 It wouldn't be so bad having an occasional winter weather advisory but when your only going a day at the most between them it is getting bad!  Monday, I barely made it to work because my lil truck kept getting stuck at the top of our drive due to the lane being covered in ice!  Just because my cousin Brian came and dug the snow out doesn't mean he took the ice with him!  I got to work though, after 30 minutes of Randy and I taking turns pushing the truck up the final crest of the hill on the drive.  The roads were still a bit slick but okay going.  After work, I took my time because the roads were still slick and went to my parents house down the road from my house to pick up the kids.  And promptly got stuck in their drive!  The temps were in the 30 and melted some of the snow and ice and left a snowy muddy mess!  Between my parents and I, it took us about 45 minutes of pushing, pulling with my dad's truck, and rocking my lil truck to get it un stuck and pushed up their drive to sit at the top while we ate dinner and then made our way home!  Where I promptly parked in my Uncle's drive so I could get to work on Tuesday!

Tuesday, no problems!  The weather was nice and the weather folks were only hinting at a possible storm coming our way.  After work is when my problems started!  My truck wouldn't start!  Hubby works across the city in IA down by the airport, my parents outside the town we live in (about a 45 minute drive in good weather), and my cousin who works at Gateway was already up and out to make it to his Band's rehersal!  A co worker tried helping me get my truck started (single dad and had already left his girls home for the day by theirselves due to late school start-ages 15 and 8).  We ruled out alternator thank Gods!  But it could have been the battery, the starter, or a cable/connector of sorts.  Got a hold of my mom and said come get me, called Randy and he said no worries we have had the truck for 12 years and this is the first problem it has given us.

Wensday, got to work an hour late due to fixing my truck!  Thank Gods it was only the battery connectors needing replaced!  And then all of us in training, on the floor, and in the bays started watching the weather.  We were in a Winter Storm Advisory and by the time we left work we were in an offical Blizzard Advisory.  Guess who didn't go to work today?  :D

Thursday, today,  I took one look outside and said fuck this shit!  I don't care if I could get my truck up the drive, I am not risking my life to go to work when every weather person on all four channels, state patrols in SD, IA, and NE were saying if you go to work on Thursday be prepared to stay there till Friday afternoon at the latest!  And they started closing down interstate and hiways!  I called in.  Randy made it home last night about an hour and half late because he took his time coming home and this morning he said the same thing.  Fuck this shit!  I don't care if it is only my 4th day on the job I am not driving in this shit and getting stuck there over night!  My mom who only works 15 minutes away in the next town said the same thing.  Of couse the kids are home from school today, schools across the three states are closed for the day, the idiotic ones are trying 2 hour late starts and already they are calling parents and putting it out on the news that they decided to close after all!

Across the midwest and midsouthern states, there is snow (blizzard), rain, flooding, and even tornado warnings, watches, and advisories!  Yes you read that correctly!  Tornadoes!  They started out in parts of OK, KS, and MO last night and early this morning the southern part of NE has spotted a few tornadoes! 

So since Mother Nature is feeding Ol Man Winter the Viagra, grab yourself some protection folks!  We are in for a doozy of a storm system!

Since I hardly got any good sleep last night, I fell asleep this afternoon and woke up right before Dave got home.  I put on a gown and some long pj bottoms and realized we didn't really have dinner since he didn't want turkey...lol.  So we decided on Wendy's.  Yes, I was careful with what I ate.  A small chili and a side salad. 

Anyways, I was kind of cranky when I woke up because  the way I woke up really sucked.  I woke up to all 3 of my dogs barking their asses off because some lady and her kids were in my driveway.  At that particular time I had no clothes on so I grabbed a robe, and Noah was still sleeping.  I poked my head out my front door, trying to shush the dogs and see what this lady wanted.  The dogs kept barking relentlessly but I was able to gather that she was my neighbor behind us and wanted to inform us that our dogs are digging, yada yada yada. 

So, yeah, I was kind of cranky and I agreed to drive thru Wendy's, wearing my gown, pj bottoms, my tennis shoes and a flannel jacket.  Before I left, Dave said, "if you really love me, you'll stop and get me some smokes".  I was like, uh, NO WAY!!!  I told him I would never go in any where looking like that. 

So, to sum this blog up......

1.  I DO really love him....(yes, I went in the store like that!)

2.  Am I officially white trash now?  LMAO

I so out-did myself with this one.  I can't wait to use it to get him to do something for me!  hehehehhe  He couldn't believe I did it!  Neither can I......   :P
