Sucks @ MindSay 
work
Well, since I have gotten this new Dell laptop, I might as well use it as much has I can to get back used to using a laptop! Been on a full sized Dell for several months at someone elses house, and yeah, the one next to the toppled tree!! So glad to be outa there and in my own place I bought and paid for myself! what in the world would a 55 year old woman want with such ass backwards living conditions anyway?? At this age you just can't put up will all the BS that goes along with it! Not to mention how unsafe it was in many ways! Ok . . . if you feel you gotta own at least one weapon, preferably a hand gun to defend yourself, that ain't the place to be anyway!!! With thieves, neighbors no more than a mile away getting shot on a regular basis, and god, do they ever keep the fire dept. and police busy!! It ain't for me!! Yesterday I went by the local grocery here in this new town, the people were so friendly and here was this woman, must have been a redneck driving a huge diesel pickup and I almost asked where her horse traier was!! Then not a minute later, here comes a red wrecker with BUBBA'S WRECKER SERVICE on the side. Now I know I am in the red neck county of NC!!! It's ok. Now, don't get me wrong about this next thing, but when my youngest son was in high school, he begged to go to school in this county, all the kids would no tolorate intimidation from black kids or the crap from hispanics with all their iliteracy. Now, I am not a racist, not raised in the south either, but enough is enough!!! I thnik l'll be happy where I am!

Stepping Up SUCKS...
As I expected, it was pretty shite. I'm hoping it gets better in a few days...
We started off in tutorial, marking rooms and times down on our timetables.
Our practice one was on paper - and we were only given 1/3 of the time that we'd normally be given - 20 minutes, as opposed to the hour for the real one.
I was the only one who finished all of the questions. You needed 20 marks to pass and I got 35.
I doesn't think I'm going to fail Key Skills like. :P
That's providing I finish off my portfolio.
I did a bit of work on it today - I got about 3/4 of my Powerpoint finished. I'll finish it tomorrow, and make a start on my shitty Excel task.
Lewis and I got stressed with Key Skills, so we sauntered out of college early. Nobody knew. And I'm willing to bet, we weren't the only ones who did. :)
I then proceeded with my cheaty technique for completing the "play 30 hours of Brawls" and the "play 50 hours of Brawls" challenge on SSBB.
I'm not going to beat all the tournaments with everyone - it's a pointless chore. Once you've beaten them once, it's completed, I'd say. Star characters yes - they're vital unlockables.
I'm also not bothering with the special games. I've finished some of them, but some are just so tedious and dodgy, I can't be chewed with the hassle. :)
I'm here!
I made it Wednesday around five or so. Things have really been up in the air lately but that is to be expected. D's father has been super awesome, letting us stay with him for a few days, not like my mum wasn't willing but when you have the choice of an air mattress over a real bed..with an electric blankie!
Anywho, Foggy..my trusty car has survived but not without scars. I have to let her warm up for ten minutes or so, she only needed five before, but the tranny has not been wanting to shift into gear right away..its like, you push the thingy into drive and there is no lurch, or click..nothing. I don't rev the engine, just throw her back into park and scold her while continuing to warm up. Jiffy lube won't even change out the filter, and they still want over a hundred smackers!
No job leads at the moment, but i have somewhere realistic to stay soon enough. Another trailer, but this one has a full tub and damn near thirty feet. Plus she is free, Thanks Papa!
So it should be a while before I update again, not only will I hope to get into a new house..but somewhere I can hold by myself when Mister Furman deals with his problems.
Ho hum, a pirates life for me! Wee!
On the up side, if we can't get out of this, my sister does live near LA. So that would be about an 8-10 hr drive to visit her. Also one of my best friends from here is moving to Ft Bliss (same place we would be) in June. Another bonus is that we would be close enough to meet up with josiejunk. It appears that Dale is slotted for the Sgt Major school, but we don't yet know if that means he'll be going to school or be an instructor. He has officially turned down a request to attend the school twice, so that means he should not have been selected to be a student. There is another soldier with our last name on the student list, so maybe, just maybe there was a mix-up with that.
I'm not looking forward to telling the kids dance teacher we might be moving. I have told her that if we ever had to move I'd be stuffing her in my suitcase. Obviously that can't happen. Also, Caitlin has been dancing so hard to go to competition in March, and that won't happen either. She'll be devastated.
Please pray or cross your fingers or whatever it is you do that things work out the way they are meant to work out.
