you say she's just a friend... Oh baby yooooouuu

Haven't figured out the best way to start this off...

Trust some feelings will be hurt and emotions will be on heightened alert...

Nothing Ive ever done has been without thought and consideration. Sometimes you love who you love and that's a fact! Before it's all said and done YOU will know your happiness is a lie.

18 years a friend... Coming soon

I am a very passionate woman, from love to the words I write.. I make love to every piece of content I choose to share. Do not believe for ONE moment that my street was one way, no man (or woman) stays around (or leaves and comes back) just for a physical relationship! Believe that, there is love, emotions, laughter, carefree days and sweaty evenings. What you've said no to the other person says yes to. Again feelings are bound to get hurt and for that I have ZERO remorse.... You should've made sure I wasn't able to make YOUR man fall in love with me.

Btw, this is specifically written for my own personal stalker.   You love following my every move imma make it easier for u, we might as well become friends.... You ready?


When we rekindled it was like time stood still, our conversations flowed easily and our love grew deeper

Countdown...... Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion

Hello All!

Thank you for stopping by, well it seems like everytime I am writing here it is a sad story. Why would this one be any different? Lol. Long story short (dontcha just hate when people say that?) I was informed when I went to the doctor on April 15th, I was knocked down by the news that I needed neck surgery! what the what?!! I knew my neck was in pain but I assumed it was because of my RA or Fibro. HA! nope! My C3-4 disc is slipping out of place when I bend forward YIKES! and my 4-5/5-6 is degenerative. basically (didn't i say this was a long story short!) my entire spine is messed up, less my T-SPINE. GO figure. I have been to the doctor SO many times in the last month it makes no sense. CT scans, Mri's, myelograms, discograms.....ugh really!! Tomorrow (yay me) I go see the Cardiologist and I get an Echo! I can hardly contain my happiness! I am a overly plan ahead person and right now I am so not stressed (LIE) but as the weeks come to a close I am getting more nervous! Tomorrow marks exactly 20 days! Money? where am I going to get it to pay my bills? Health Insurance?  Car payment, Car insurance? ugh where oh where is a charity application when u need one? My entire summer will be gone, i can't go back to work for at least 2 months although my doctor took me off for 3 full months( um scoot over dr cause my family is moving in with u) what is it I know how to do if I don't have a job to return to? I mean really!! what am i going to do? right now i am going to log off....my head hurts now.

George W. Bush, and other republican blunders


‎*******ELECTION TALK ELECTION TALK***** below are MY beliefs, I believe our current president can change certain things and even if he can't he deserves the CHANCE to try! has my life been easy no, but like any CEO he has to be given the opportunity to excel! This is only my take, when u step into something as messy as what the current pres stepped in and all u were able to do was attempt to fix a wreck but at every turn u were shot down for one reason or another, how prey tail are u supposed to do this? he had 8 yrs of Bush and his mess, This man stole 2 presidential elections, falsely started 2 wars, murdered thousands of innocent civilians in the process of those wars, murdered thousands of U.S. soldiers for his 'weapons of mass destruction' lies (which he created), made the U.S. economy plummet with his decisions, made his buddies in the oil & military defense industry wealthy at the expense of average american, took away americans civil lib...
erties & has made us hated around the world. This man has did more harm to this country than any man in american history. But yet everyone blames Obama for 4yrs of attempting to make a civil peace with Republicans and has been discarded as whatever u want to label him. I mean i think it was BS for him to have to PROVE where he was born, did Bush prove Big daddy and Momma didn't have him in Mexico at a villa? or in england while visiting the queen (in my snottiest of voices) i am sick of this mess and madness when will we (americans wake up and smell the coffee) NOW IF U ARE A REPUBLICAN THEN THIS IS FOR YOU, I do not agreee with the antics ur people come up with and how u guys FLOCK around them like its a cult or better yet a KLAN, those SOB's rob us of everything we are entitled to while living FAT ON THE HILL! don't like this post~ dial 1-800-angel sheckles doesn't give a damn! Listed below are some of Bush's worst moments ENJOY!
1) No WMDs
Mr Bush built his entire case for war on the claim that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. However, he chose to ignore conflicting evidence and forever undermined not only his presidency, but the reputation of US intelligence agencies and his country in much of the world.
2) "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"
Mr Bush could not control the weather, but he had control in naming the director of FEMA, the agency in charge of disaster mitigation. His appointee, Mike Brown, was woefully underprepared and failed to facilitate proper aid to the stranded victims of Hurricane Katrina. Despite his tragic miscues, Mr Bush famously told his pall "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."
 
3) No Post-War Plan for Iraq
The outgoing president achieved his goal of ousting Saddam Hussein but had little planned for a destabilised post-Saddam Iraq. After six years, thousands of military casualties, an untold amount of Iraqi civilian deaths, and hundreds of billions of dollars spent, the war is still not over.

4) Permitting Torture

By stating that the Geneva Convention did not apply to "enemy combatants," Mr Bush paved the way for waterboarding, attack dogs, and other draconian interrogation tactics that will forever be associated with his presidency.

5) Ignoring Pre-9/11 Terror Memo

Just weeks before 9/11, while spending a holiday at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, Mr Bush received a memo from the CIA entitled, "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in US". While the President cannot respond to every single threat presented to the country, the timing and nature of this particular warning will forever blight his legacy.

6) "Mission Accomplished"
Mr Bush's bombastic declaration of victory in Iraq while aboard an aircraft carrier in May 2003 was premature to say the least: the vast majority of war casualties have occurred since the unfurling of the "mission accomplished" banner. He has admitted this was one of his biggest mistakes.

7) Entering Iraq without a UN mandate.

After months of deliberation, the UN Security Council could not come to an agreement over the proposed invasion of Iraq. Mr Bush impatiently led a "coalition of the willing" into the country and his decision is still considered by the UN to be illegal.

8) Insisting there was a link between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda

Mr Bush aimed to strengthen his case for war by linking the perpetrators of 9/11 to Saddam Hussein. As of today there is little to no evidence supporting his claim.

9) Failing to capture Osama bin Laden

After 9/11, Mr Bush's primary goal was to capture al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. More than seven years have passed and the only evidence of Bin Laden is a series of grainy video tapes taunting Mr Bush and the United States.

10) Abandoning the Kyoto Protocol

In 2001, Mr Bush refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that requires participating countries to lower their greenhouse gas emissions. He cited its effect on the economy, but the auto industry is already on the brink and global climate change is a real problem. Even merely as a sign of intent, his signature would have been helpful.

11) Refusing to let Katrina ruin his holiday

Hurricane Katrina hit towards the end of a long summer holiday for Mr Bush. His immediate response was not to view the damage personally, but at five miles high through the window of Air Force One on his way back to Washington.

12) Underestimating the cost of the war

Like a contractor's ever-inflating estimates of a home renovation, Mr Bush's original $50-$60 billion price tag on the Iraq war sounds like a steal now. The current cost is closer to $600 billion.

13) Lack of body armour for US troops

Due to the budget constraints of an expensive war, many US troops lacked proper armour for the challenges in Iraq. There have been reports of families turning to eBay to purchase protective gear for their sons and daughters stationed in the Middle East.

14) Failure to include Louisiana's coastal parishes in state of emergency plan

On August 27, 2005, two days before Hurricane Katrina hit, President Bush declared a state of emergency for parts of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. Not included on that list were the coastal areas of Louisiana that included New Orleans, the city hit hardest by Katrina.

15) Tax cuts for the wealthy

Believing wealthy Americans would take their fortunes to tax shelters, Mr Bush granted large tax cuts to keep their cash in the US. Critics contend it disproved the trickle down theory, as the economy headed into recession.

16) Losing focus on Afghanistan

The early campaign in Afghanistan was relatively successful. Rather than continuing the effort there however, Mr Bush quickly switched focus to Iraq. Many, including President-Elect Barack Obama, believe that a greater presence in Afghanistan would be more effective in the war on terror.

17) Limiting stem cell research

One of President Bush's earliest decisions was to restrict the research of embryonic stem cells. These types of studies have shown tremendous results in lab rats (such as reversing the course of Parkinson's in the rodents). Humans will have to wait for his policy to be annulled before seeing any benefits.

18) Appointment and backing of Alberto Gonzales

Mr Bush appointed an old Texan friend Alberto Gonzales as his Attorney General after the resignation of John Ashcroft. Widely criticised as a sycophantic foil to "Dubya", Mr Gonzales oversaw questionable US attorney dismissals and the NSA's warrantless wiretapping before eventually resigning. Along with Mike Brown, Alberto Gonzales is an example of Mr Bush's perceived penchant for surrounding himself with "yes men" rather than qualified individuals.
19) Awarding lucrative Iraq reconstruction contracts to Halliburton

Halliburton, Vice President Dick Cheney's old employer, received a large reconstruction contract in Iraq shortly after the onset of the war. Rumours of it not having to bid are unfounded, but claims of a conflict of interest remain. In addition, their exportation of the country's oil has been a largely unsuccessful endeavour.

20) Warrantless Wiretapping

Shortly after 9/11, President Bush authorized the warrantless wiretapping of certain telephone calls for the sake of national security. Eavesdropping would often top most Presidents' list of reprehensible acts but Mr Bush, supported by Congress, contended that it helped keep America safe.

These were not my words, I read them and wanted to share!

at least Obama was able to find the guy in the robe in the cave making the taunting videos.......

Why did I do this again?.........

Well here I am day 1 Post Op
Yesterday March 6th 2012, I had a Bunionectomy w/Osteotomy & plate fixation surgery on my right foot. You never know what you had til you can't use it no more :(. I never take my life, limbs, and well being for granted, but at this moment I am wondering WHAT WAS I THINKING???/ I swear the pain, is unbearable, the only time I feel relief is when I am sleeping. I feel like such a burden, I am normally really independent and never relying on anyone to do simple things for me. I guess I am feeling a little down....well actually a LOT DOWN. My husband is wonderful, don't get me wrong, but he is not the best caregiver. He has had numerous surgeries and I have been hands on with everything, I mean he NEVER had to ask for so much as a toothpick I had it set up, I don't want to sound like Debbie Downer but geesh! I just want to be pampered while I am in pain! thats not to much to ask for......right? Then there's my mom, she stopped by for all of 10 minutes last night, stood in the doorway, I thought she would have come in sat on my bed stroked my hair.....ok maybe that is a fairy tale, but at least sat down and talked to me or just sat with me, she did get me a glass of tea and ask if I needed anything......yeah a HUG! I thought she would have called me to check on me today....NOPE NOTHING, NOT EVEN A TEXT! I know she is busy at work but damn it I am here only child! Ugh I guess I am just feeling some kind of way, I am in pain, I am dependant on others to help me with basic things like going to the bathroom and at some point I will need a bath or a wash down..... UGH I HATE THIS FEELING, just thought I would blog a little and relieve some of the stress I am feeling! Thanks for listening, guess I  will take another pain pill, prop my foot up and go back to sleep....oh the joys of growing older

AS I AM; TAKE ME OR LEAVE ME

Saturday, June 18, 2011 at 11:23pm
as you all that know me know i like to write, and most often i channel what i am feeling into words that can flow onto paper or in the case onto screen! lol. I have been in a constant battle for the last 2yrs with this sickness i hate RHEUMATOID ARHTRITIS. I will not go into what it is and what is does again if you know me then you read my previous posts! Just know that if you haven't had the luxury of being close to someone thats got it GOOD! Well now I have two new lovely illness' to fight with, and the more i battle daily the less i want to be the old angel i once was. I used to be the girl with the bright smile and the loud conversation to match I could hang out in O'Malley's, Cardinal Inn, Velvet Rose or even just walking with my girls down broadway cause it was Derby and we wanted to see and be seen. Then I found out my whole life was changing whether I liked it or not, I was not the same person. It seemed like almost over night I was....... different? I had a pain on my left foot and my right hand, wait what is happening here and why? what did i do to make this happen?? I have always been the girl that lived by her own rules and didnt worry about what others thought, i liked to have people wonder what the hell was she thinking. But i did have a hand full of friends to turn to when i wanted to go out, or if i had man problems or if they had man problems then it seems like i woke up and there was noone there but me. where did everyone go? what happened? is it because i couldnt go to the clubs anymore or was it because my meds didnt allow me to drink as heartily as before? I'll tell you what happened, SELFISH & SCARED thats what they were and what they are. I would have liked to know that i had true friends that would have said i am picking up dinner and coming to just lay in the bed with you and watch movies just because I know u dont feel up to anything else. But thats not the sort of friends I have or shall i say HAD cause i have started weeding them out one by one and not thought about them anymore, until i watched lean on me tonight. Then i thought what if i had CANCER would i go through chemo alone (well of course my husband is always by myside) I see all the time on tv women supporting one another and having a friendship. I just thought i would channel my thoughts and let all that decide to read this if you have friends and they are sick or if it is you that is sick and have crappy girlfriends i would say REEVALUATE ur friendship and question would they stay or would they go? I thought my BEST friend would stay but it was a choose to let her go, as much as it hurt me to do I let her go cause I GREW APART. I am lonely sometimes for a conversation with another women but then i wake up in the arms of the one who loves me illness & all i decide why should i cry over spilled milk?
