hi all! im not doing very well at keeping this site updated am i? almost everyone i know................NO.................EVERYONE i know is on facebook. im on there, under duress. i stay on there to be able to see new pics of my family as they post them, and find old friends.
i actually like this site better cause i can ramble on about anything and not have to worry about being cut off because of too many words. arggggg! and twitter.....forget it!
things are good, life is good, family is all well, God is good, USA....not doing so good.
thinking about a small business venture w/my son. i want to find something that can tide me over and maybe let me retire. cant really afford to right now. especially the way the current government administration is handling everything. oh yeh..........thats one thing...........social security! ENTITLEMENT my ass! they forced me to pay into that all my life. youre damned right im entitled to it. its my money that they have played with and made money, and now they want to tell me "oops, sorry, its gone". this isnt a "gimme" this or that.........this is MY money. it infuriates me everytime i hear some idiot polititian call SS an entitlement. arggggg!
and what about them dems and repubs? they arent that different. 98% of them are dirty and out for themselves and their cronnies. now THATS entitlements. (not earned) they sure arent giving us much to choose from this coming presidential election. i wrote in ron paul 3 yrs ago and if he doesnt get the nomination (which i doubt he will) ill write him in again. i disagree on a couple of his ideas, but overall, hes my man. i like a little of what mitt romney says, BUT......the first time i saw him and heard him speak, i got the same icky feelings i got the first time i saw/heard "slick willy". (bill clinton) "weazel" comes to mind. sarah palin is a sweetie, but she doesnt belong in the oval office. i think she should be on a regular news program. shes people friendly and knowledgeable. michelle bachman.....go home. newt....................WAY past his "sell by" date.
mark my words, obabma is a sacrificial lamb. he was put in office for the exact purpose that is going down in the US right now. he got in by enticing blacks, illegals, the poor, and mexicans. hows that "change" workin fer YOU? my guess is, if you dont fit into one of those catagories, its not going so well for ya. his main rival for the office of president was the "hildebeast" and after all was said and done, he appoints her to one of the highest offices in his administration. now tell, me this. have you EVER seen a president do this? of course not. its part of the plan. he was a nobody that they put in to get all this crap started, (socialism, i mean) and to take the heat, and toward the end of his term he'll be hated, and he wont care because he went into this office KNOWING that hed be a "one term" president and that he would be VERY WELL compensated when all is said and done. more national debt in 3 yrs than all the other presidents combined. yeh, hes doing a swell job. i just cannot believe people still trust him. of course, those poor, illegals, blacks, and mexicans on welfare, food stamps, and free housing and free medical, have no 401K's to lose, no money in the bank to lose, no house that theyre buying or paying taxes on to lose. thanks to this administration they are set for life. and again, mark my words, so will obama be set for life when his term is over. i wouldnt be surprised (just a guess) if he leaves the country, and all the cover-ups about his heritage and beliefs, will all come out. AFTER hes out of office. course, he may just return to "MOB RULED" chicago. (oh yeh, thats where he came from) i imagine detroit would welcome him also.
think im gonna call it a day for now. dont just listen to what people/polititians say. keep a close eye on what they do & how they vote on things. theres a great site that has info on what polititians said, what they believe and how they voted. it hasnt been updated for this presidential election yet, but many of the same names are listed from last time. ontheissues.org
well i guess i did have some opinions "off the top of my head" to share w/anyone who cares to listen. :)

the lengths i'll go to...
may 11, 2011
i wrote these 2 things to a good friend of mine who has family that works at a car sales place somewhere in indiana. thats how the topic of the car thing came up. then she had mentioned about wasting money on airfresheners. thats how the story about the ozium came about.
she said i ought to share it w/others. so here i am! hope you enjoy...........
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Just wanted to tell you about this stuff..................its called OZIUM. It’s a room deodorizer. its in an aresol can that is like a skinny hairspray can. it comes in different aromas. the vanilla and the fresh air are my favorites. but the original is in a blue/white can. you find it in the auto department where they keep those hanging car smelly freshners.
i found it when i worked at the bar, as id said. i learned that when smoking in a car w/the windows up, you can squirt one squirt of it into the air, and you smell the smell of the ozium for about 30-40 seconds then it disappears and NOTHING! No more smell, and visibly no more smoke. i use it now, around my cat litter, and when i have any of the grandkids at my house. i smoke, but give the room one squirt and you can actually watch the smoke disappear. cooking smells, trash, and so on. id do a commercial for it if they asked me to. i think the can i described is about 3.5 or so ounces. it may be more. it lasts a LONG time. much longer than normal deoderizers and none ive found even compare to how good this works.
if you come to the kokomo walmart and dont intend to shop for anything else, just park in the back where you go to get an oil change. theres a back door to the store. the auto dept is right there as you walk in, and they have a cash register right there to pay for it. you dont even have to go into the store itself. short and sweet.
gotta tell ya this........................................over 10 yrs ago, when i was car shopping and i was going to pay cash for a NEW car, me and (a younger) aaron went to some dealerships in indy to look around and possibly buy, if i found what i wanted. i dont remember which one it was but it was one that was on TV all the time and a well known one, and it was HUGE. aaron and i both had jeans on but were dressed appropriately for the day. we wandered around, walking right past a group of (at one point there was 7) salesmen who were standing around just chatting w/each other about stuff, for over an hour, and during that time men came in to car shop and various salesmen left the chatty group to help them. not once did even one of them ask if they could help me. i had kept an eye on my watch. they seem to think............dumb/stupid woman w/little kid......not gonna buy a new one so lets just act like she doesnt exist and maybe shell go away. ticked me off royally. sooooo a little passed an hour of being ignored, (i warned aaron cause i knew hed be embarrassed) i loudly called out, "does anyone in here want to sell me a car today?" 3 guys headed for me. somehow 2 dropped away and this guy turned on the charm and appologised profusely. i told him it didnt matter (thats all i said aloud to him) ...................and it didnt...............because i would NEVER buy a car from that place or any one of those salesmen.
anyhow, i started looking at high dollar cars in the showroom and picked one. i knew my credit was excellent and the guy kept saying the old, "what will it take for me to put you in that car today?" i THOUGHT..................................show me a snowball from hell.......................i SAID, lets get going on the paper work.
you know how long the paperwork process is? LONG. well over an hour, and closer to 2 hrs. they had to check my credit and all the other crap they tried to sell me, like undercoating and tinted windows, CD player, and other added on stuff. i ordered it all. i asked a zillion questions. FINALLY, when it was time for my signature, i took the pen and put the pen to the paper and then reached over and laid his pen right in front of him, stood up, took my son by the hand, and said, " you wasted over an hour of my time..........................how does it feel?" i walked out of there bursting w/pride. treat me like that, then expect me to buy something from you.......................i dont think so!!!! on the way to the car, aaron asked if i was going to do that at every dealership we went to. i told him "yes, if i was treated this same way?" i went home tired and "puffed up" w/pride. I was proud of myself for keeping my cool, and teaching a lesson to those arrogant men.
kinda like not throwing away junk mail. take the time to write "return to sender" and put it back in your mail box. when it comes back they have to pay return postage.
i LIKE to think of these things as making a point! call it what you will.......................it feels good! ya'll be kind and assertive! :)

still suckin air :)
oh my. its been so long since ive written here. i really have missed it. guess i couldnt have missed it all that much or i wouldnt have taken so long to write again, huh? :)
life is still treating me and my family pretty well. we have our moments, but on the whole, "life is good".
a friend of mine gave me an idea. she reminded me of all the times i dwelled or pondered something from the past that was a fond memory. she called it, "remember when?" i have those moments all the time. sometimes induced by seeing a particular color, or touching a particular texture. usually those moments are induced by an aroma or smell. the sense of smell is the most closely connected of our 5 senses, to the part of the brain that houses our memories. we walk into someones home and we're overwhelmed w/the thought..........."this smells like grandmas house when i was a little girl." its usually a more specific memory than this.
i believe that aromas can hinder or benefit our daily lives. i mist my pillowcase every night w/one of my perfumes. i want to drift off to sleep w/a pleasant aroma going thru my brain. i also have those little bottles of oil that you put the long sticks in and every once in a while you have to take the sticks out and stick in the other end. those are nice and last a long time. then theres the old standby..........insence.
im planning on popping in here more often. i may have something on my mind thats i think is important, or i may just be writing about something that i "remembered when".
i actually had one of those moments yesterday. i was in the elevator and a lady got on with the rest of us. i kept sniffing and thought i recognised the smell. i asked the ladies if any of them had taboo on. one lady did. taboo brings to mind many good peopole and fond memories that i have from the 70's and 80's. (when taboo came out) i had a little yellow volkswagon beetle and my best friend loved driving it. if you remember, vw's were air tight and smells tended to stay in the car. anyhoo, when debby would get in the car and shut the door, and i was wearing taboo, she would say, "EW, tabs and ooooes". she hated the smell. i, on the other hand, loved it. i remember her saying that almost every time i ever wore the stuff.
this perfume also brings back fond memories of those "good ole days". sometimes just flashes of "warm fuzzies" (just the feeling of "ahhhhhh"), other times i have a detailed and specific memory connected w/the smell.
do yourself a favor and keep your favorite aromas around to calm you, bring you joy, or to just inhale and go........."ahhhhhhhhh!" influence your surroundings by surrounding yourself w/aromas that are pleasing to you. personally chosen aromas can help make a bad day better. how? i dont know..........it just does. its a brain connection of some sort. i do know that its one way that i have some power over where my brain meanders. thru aromas, i have the ability to influence the moment, or even the outcome of a day.
we tend to take our "huffer" (nose) for granted till we NEED it. just try slowing down, because "life is NOT an emergency". try stopping outside and just inhaling the aromas that surround us on a daily basis. fresh cut grass, flowers, the air after a spring rain or any aroma that pleases YOUR senses. in this way you can have more influence on where your thoughts end up. hey, just try it.
in the mean time............go forth, and dont forget to stop and SMELL the roses. :)
