I WAS READING PHILIP DICK'S DEFINITION OF SCIENCE FICTION, IY ISNT SPACE ADVENTURE, IT ISNT MONSTERS, IT ISNT FANTASY ITS WHAT CAN JUST POSSIBLY BE PROBABLE SCIENCE AT SOME TIME

AS FOLLOWS:
However, what distinguishes science fiction from fantasy are the worlds or diverse forms of societies imagined by the author which have the ability to exist, whereas in fantasy literature on the other hand it is clear that the themes approached are contrary to all scientific truth, since the author has to deliberately infringe laws of reality. In science fiction these laws are subtly extrapolated to give rise to speculation which usually concerns [touche] the future in the same way, as the future is by definition the lesser known of the three faces of time. Similarly if the story is set in the present––as could be the case in parallel universes––or again in the past––such as in histories of time travel––the universes of science fiction stay obedient to a set number of rational regulations and not out of some caprice of magical thinking, as is the case in fantasy. One can thus say that science fiction always stays “sane of mind” [saine d’esprit].

MORE FUN TIMES

WE WERE TO MEET THE TWINS AT STARBUCKS THEN THEY WANTED US TO PICK THEM UP THEN THEY SAID MEET THEM THEN THEY SAID PICK US UP HAHAH I SENT DAD TO GET THEM. THEN ALEXI AND NIKKI WERE AT STARBUCKS SO WE SAT AND LOOKED AT CONCERT PICTURES FROM THE CONCERT THEY WENT TO FOR THEIR BIRTHDAYS AND CHATTED A BIT I Really ENJOYED NIKKI TOO SHES A REAL JOY. 4 OF THE LOVELIEST GIRLS I HAVE MET.

TOMORROW MY KIDS AND MY GOOD SON ARE COMING TO VISIT. I LOVE THEM ALL A LOT.

SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN

TODAY I AWAKENED AT 5:30 AM
AND I WATCHED TV THEN I WENT ONLINE AND NOW ITS 8:18 AM SOON WE WILL GOTO CHANDLER AND THEN COME HOME AFTER SHOPPING FOR A COUPLE OF THINGS WE CANT GET HERE. WE NEED A TRADER JOE'S HERE BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL ADD ANOTHER STORE DURING THIS TIME OF AUSTERITY FOR BUSINESS.
THEY HAVE DECENT PRICES ON FOOD MORE SO THAN LOCAL STORES. ALSO ITS MORE HEALTH COSNCIOUS. AND THEY SELL ECOLOGICALLY CORRECT PRODUCTS. WE GET THEIR WASHING LIQUID FOR HALF THE COST OF GROCERS STORES.
EGGS MILK AND CREAM ARE HALF PRICE AS WELL. MOST OF THEIR STUFF IS. I LOVE TO SUPPORT OUR LOACAL DEALERS BUT I NEED TO SAVE MONEY MORE THAN BEING LOYAL TO THEM.
I THINK EVERYOEN THINKS THIS WAY.
I HAVE NOTICED THAT MOST MEATS IN OUR LOCAL STORES ARE DROM MEXICO CANADA AND AUSTRALIA , WELL, I REFUSE TO BUY MEAT EXCEPT FROM TH MIDWEST. IF THEY DONT CARRY IT I DONT EAT IT. TRADER JOES ALSO HAVE IMPORTED MEATS SO I DONT BUY ANY THERE. AND SURPRISINGLY, WALMART DOES CARRY AMERICAN GROWN MEATS. AND VEGGIES. I WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT. BUT I HAVE BECOME MOSTLY A VEGEATARIAN EXCEPT FOR BACON FOR BREAKFAST AND AN OCCASIONAL TURKEY SALAD. OH, AND SANDWICH.
IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO SERVE HEALTHY MEALS ANYMORE , SO MUCH CORN SYRUP IN EVERYTHING. SALAD DRESSINGS AND CATSUP, AND ANY PREPARED FOODS ARE FULL OF CORN SYRUP. BEWARE. THAT IS VERY FATTENING AND UNHEALTHY.
FROZEN MEALS ARE FULL FO SALT AND SUGAR THAT IS WHAT MAKES THEM PALATABLE. I NOTICED AT MIMI'S THEY OTHER DAY ONE COOK SERVES CABBAGE SALAD WITH HONEY ADDED THE 0THER DOES NOT AND I CAN TASTE THE DIFFERENCE I WAS GIFTED WITH A VERY GOOD NOSE WHICH MEANS I HAVE GOOD TASTE BUDS I SMELL WELL AND TASTE WELL OF EVERYTHING AND I WONT EAT ANYTHING NASTY.
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD ODORS HAVE AFFECTED ME VERY INTENSELY. I READ SOEMWHERE THAT AS YOU GAGE YORU SMELLER GOES BAD THANK GOODNESS MINE IS STILL A 1. OK ILL TELL YOU MORE STUFF LATER.
OH AND I WENT AND SAID A MEAN THING ABOUT ALL REPUBLICANS AFTER I READ THOSE ARTICLES ABOUT THE 2 MINISTERS WHO WERE PRAYING FOR OBAMA'S DEATH WELL ALL OF THEM ARENT MEAN JUST THOSE THAT KEEP TEARING HIM DOWN LIKE JOE WILSON AND BILL O'REILLY AND SARAH PALIN AND ROVE AND THOSE GUYS WHO ARE CRIMINALS WHO SERVED UNDER BUSH 2 WELL THERE ARE A LOT OF LOW CLASS REPUBLICANS BUT MOST ARE DECENT PEOPLE AND A LOT ARE DELUDED BY THE LYING BIG CORPORATIONS WHO HAVE THEM UNDER THEIR THUMBS MENTALLY THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT FIGHTING TO NOT HAVE HEALTH CARE IS INSANE I WAS IN AMSTERDAM AND FOUND THEIR HEALTH CARE SUPERB IF ONLY WE DID THAT. AND THEY ARE QUITE WEALTHY TOO IT HAS NOT TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR LIFESTYLES.

SYNCHRONICITIES

FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A SERIES OF SYNCHRONOUS EVENTS THAT HAVE AMAZED ME.

I WILL START WITH THE MOST CURRENT : THE PROPHECIES OF ST. MALACHY THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT THE PROPHECIES MADE BY AN OLD IRISH SAINT WAY BACK WHEN IN THE 1400S I BELIEVE.

THIS COVERS THE POPES FROM BEGINNING TO THE PRESENT. AND THE BOOK I READ WAS PUBLISHED IN 1969 AND BASED ON THE OLD PROPHECIES.

WHAT AMAZED ME WAS THAT WHEN I FIRST GOT THE BOOK IN 1969 THE POPE WAS PAUL VI HE DIED IN 1978 WHEN POPE JOHN PAUL 1 WAS ELECTED AND DIED 33 DAYS AFTER AND IT WAS BELIEVED BY EVERYONE HE WAS MURDERED BECAUSE HE PLANNED TO REORGANIZE THE BANKS THAT WERE VERY MESSED UP AND WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MAFIA WHO SEEMED TO CONTROL A LOT OF THE VATICAN'S MONEY. THERE WERE MANY BOOKS WRITTEN ABOUT ALL THIS I WON'T RECANT THEM THEY ARE IN THE BOOK STORES AND LIBRARIES.

AFTER HIM CAME JOHN PAUL II WHO WAS MORE CONSERVATIVE AND OBVIOUSLY MORE AGREEABLE WITH THE STATUS QUO. AND LASTLY IS POPE BENEDICT WHO ACCORDING TO ST. MALACHY'S PROPHESIES IS THE LAST POPE.
HOWEVER, ONE NAMED THERE IS ONE MENTIONED AT THE END CALLED PETRUS ROMANUS WHO WILL COME TO MINISTER TO HUMANITY IN THE DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD.

NEXT ON MY LIST :
BARNES AND NOBLE'S MAGAZINE COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT CALLED: SECRETS OF ANGELS AND DEMONS THE UNAUTHORIZED GUIDE TO DAN BROWNS NEW NOVEL PLUS MYSTERIES OF THE VATICAN.

THIS COVERS THE ILLUMINATI, THE FREEMASONS AND THE OPUS DEI. ALSO IN THIS MAGAZINE IS A REFERENCE TO THE GOD GENE . A SCIENTIST TESTS PEOPLE FOR SPIRITUALITY AND FINDS IT EXISTS .

A VERY INTERESTING MAGAZINE AND I AM GLAD TO HAVE PURCHASED IT I HAVE A LOT MORE TO READ IN THERE ABOUT EVOLUTION AND RELIGION ETC.

I ALSO HAD A SERIES OF EXPERIENCES THIS WEEK THAT LEFT ME IN WONDER BUT WHICH I DON'T REALLY WISH TO SHARE IN MY BLOG BUT THEY WERE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE AND I FELT CLOSER TO GOD THAN EVER.

ALSO, AMONG MY EXPERIENCES WERE SEVERAL THINGS HOOKING UP TO PARALLEL UNIVERSES INCLUDING THE PROGRAM ON CHANNEL 10 FOX ON THIS SUBJECT.



ANYWAY I AM EXCITED AND ALSO I SAW MY OWN PREJUDICES SHOWING AND CAN NOW RELEASE THEM FROM MY MIND .

BEING ONE WAY BLOCKS MY CREATIVE MIND FROM FUNCTIONING SO I HAD TO LET IT GO. IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT EVIL OTHERS MAY DO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME IT IS THEIR SOUL THAT'S EFFECTED NOT MINE UNLESS I RESPOND TO IT THEN I AM DRAWN IN BY IT.

AND NOW I CAN LET GO AND I'M HAPPY ABOUT IT.
I AM READING A ,OT ABOUT SPIRITUAL MATTERS AND ILL WRITE MORE LATER.

THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND ME

WHEN I WAS LITTLE I REMEMBER MY MOM TELLING ME THAT WE HAD TO COVER THE WINDOWS WITH BLACK COVERS BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS GOING TO DROP BAGS OF FLOUR ON OUR HEADS IF WE DIDN'T DO THAT AND COVER UP AND HIDE UNDER THE BEDS. SO I DID.
I WAS LIVING WITH THE NUNS INA HOME WHEN THE SECOND WORLD WAR STARTED FOR AMERICA , THE RADIO SAID THAT THE JAPANESE HAD BOMBED PEARL HARBOR WHICH WAS IN HAWAII IT WAS CONFUSING , IF THEY BOMBED HAWAII WHY WAS AMERICA INTERESTED THEN I HEARD THEY BOMBED OUR SHIPS IN THE HARBOR.
WE HAD BLACKOUTS A LOT AND THEY BLEW SIRENS WHEN THAT WENT ON. IT WAS A CONFUSING TIME FOR US KIDS.
I REMEMBER WE HAD TO USE LITTLE RED TOKENS TO BUY MEAT AT THE STORE AND WE HAD BOOKS WITH STAMPS FOR OTHER FOODS. AND WE WERE ALLOWED 1 PAIR OF SHOES A YEAR WHICH WAS HAVOC FOR GROWING FEET AND THE SHOES WE COULD GET WERE VERY LARGE SOLED AND HEAVY, WE WENT BAREFOOT A LOT THEY WERE SO UNCOMFORTABLE.

THE WORST THING WAS WE COULDN'T GET ANY BUBBLE GUM WHICH WE LOVED.
I ALSO REMEMBER GETTING WHOOPING COUGH IT WAS REALLY AWFUL YOU JUST COULD NEVER STOP COUGHING . THERE WAS NO VACCINE FOR THAT. NOR FOR MEASLES OR CHICKEN POX WE GOT EVERYTHING. AND THE WORST FEAR WAS OF GETTING POLIO SO MANY KIDS GOT IT WE WERE SO LUCKY NONE OF US DID. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAD POLIO AND WAS INA WHEELCHAIR FOR MOST OF THE TIME HE WAS IN OFFICE. BUT, EVERYONE LOVED HIM HE PULLED US OUT OF THE DEPRESSION BY USING THE WPA WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION. THE GOVERNMENT STARTED UP WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE STREETS WERE REPAIRED STATE PARKS WERE MADE UP TO BE USED. EVEN IN SOME CITIES TODAY IN SACRAMENTO CA. YOU CAN SEE SIDEWALKS WITH WPA ON THEM.
MY FIRST MEMORIES WERE OF THESE TIMES AFTER MY MEMORY OF GRAMPA AND UNCLE ALFONSO WHO USED TO TAKE OUR PICTURES ALL THE TIME.
I CAN REMEMBER AS A SMALL BABY MY UNCLE TAKING MY PICTURE IN A SMALL TUB BABIES ARE BATHED IN WITH A BAR OF IVORY SITTING IN FRONT OF IT MY MOM AND UNCLE SENT MY PICTURE TO MANY BUSINESSES IN HOPES I COULD GET A JOB AS A BABY MODEL HAHHA.
I HAVE ABOUT 2 PICTURES OF THAT TIME LEFT. I WAS A CUTE BABY I LOOKED VERY WISE. BIG EYES. AND EVIDENTLY HAD LONG LASHES AS ONCE A LADY TOLD MY MOM HOW BEAUTIFUL AND LONG THEY WERE AND I WENT AND GOT SOME SCISSORS AND CUT THEM OFF I WAS ABOUT 3 OR 4 YRS OLD THEN. MY MOTHER WAS FRIGHTENED OUT OF HER MIND SHE YELLED AT ME AND SAID I COULD HAVE POKED MY EYES OUT SHE WAS SO SCARED.
I STARTED BEING A WISE ASS AT AVERY EARLY TIME. I ALSO CLIMBED A HUGE COTTONWOOD TREE TO THE TOP WITH MY BIG BROTHER ND YELLED DOWN TO MOM SAYING "HI MAMA"
SHE SCREAMED IN FEAR AND SAID I WAS GOING TO KILL MYSELF HAHA WE LAUGHED AND CLIMBED HIGHER. THE TREE WAS ABOUT 40 TO 50 FT TALL.

ROBERT ANTON WILSON

WHY DO I ALWAYS HIT WRONG KEYS? ITS ANNOYING IM A GREAT SPELLER WHAT IS IT? IS IT MY CROOKED FINGERS. A NEWLY DEVELOPED DYSLEXIA OLD AGE KIND?
AHH MYSTERY

LOVELY BONES

LAST YEAR OR SO I READ THIS BOOK CALLED "LOVELY BONES" ABOUT A SMALL GIRL WHO IS MURDERED AND SHE IS THE ONE TELLING THE STORY . WELL , THEY ARE MAKING A MOVIE FROM THIS TALE.

I AM READING A BOOK STILL BY PHILIP DICK AND ONE BY LUIS MIGUEL ROCHA ABOUT THE LAST POPE.
AND THE MORNING OF THE MAGICIANS IM GOING TO START SOON. I READ THAT IN THE 70S WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE. IT WAS IN MY ROBERT ATIN WILSON DAYS THE ONE I STILL READ.
I GOT A COPY OF ILLUSIONS "THE ADVENTURES OF A RELUCTANT MESSIAH" FOR MY TWIN FRIENDS .
IT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND SPIRITUAL STORY, MY # 3 SON AND I READ IT TOGETHER ONCE IN OUR CABIN IN THE REDWOODS BY THE OCEAN. WE TRIED SOME OF THE EXERCISES AND IT WAS VERY MUCH FUN. ONE WAS HOW TO MAKE A CLOUD DISPAPEAR AND ONE WAS FOR GETTING A BLUE FEATHER.
TODAY HE HAS LITTLE MEMORY OF THIS TIME BUT IT WILL LIVE IN MY MEMORY FOREVER.
MY SON WAS SUCH A GENIUS... WE HAD NO ELECTRICITY EXCEPT A GENERATOR WE USED TO USE POWER TOOLS ON AND TO WASH CLOTHES IN AN OLD WASH MACHINE THAT HAD A WRINGER TO SQUEEZE OUT THE WATER. WHAT FUN THAT WAS AT FIRST AND HOW OLD IT GOT AFTER AWHILE.
BACK TO SON # 3 HE TOOK A RADIO AND TAPE PLAYER THAT WORKED ON AC CURRENT AND CONVERTED IT SO IT RAN OFF A CAR BATTERY AND SOLAR POWER.
WHAT AN AMAZING YOUNG BOY. ALL HIS LIFE HE WAS DELIGHTED BY MAZES AND MADE SOME UP AND WHEN HE SAW PIPES GOING IN MANY DIRECTIONS AS A SMALL BOY HE WAS FASCIANTED, AND HE WAS THE VERY FIRST KID TO HAVE A COMPUTER THAT WAS IN 1976 WHEN FEW LAPTOPS WERE BEING MADE. AND THEY WERE EXPENSIVE WE GOT A COMMODORE FOR HIM AND AN ATARI LATER. HE WROTE GAMES AND PROGRAMS AND WAS SO HAPPY WITH HIS COMPUTER I AM GLAD WE GAVE HIM THAT TODAY HE WORKS ON SAT COM SYSTEMS ALTHO I'M DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT.
I DO KNOW IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH COMPUTERS STUFFS.

AAARGH CUTICLE OPERATION ON DAD

TODAY DAD PULLED UP A CHAIR BY MY COMPUTER DESK AND SAID WHEN YOU HAVE A BREAK.. I WAS PLAYING BEJEWELED HAHAH.. HE HANDED ME AN 18 INCH FLASHLIGHT AND THE LONG NOSED PLIERS... HE WANTED ME TO YANK A CUTICLE OFF HIS LITTLE TOE. I COULDNT DO IT KNOWING HOW HE WAS GONNA PAY FOR IT LATER.. RESIGNED, HE SAID WELL THEN ILL JUST PUT A BANDAID ON IT I SAID IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AND TOLD HIM TO LOTION IT UP FIRST AND THE SOFT NESS WOULD CAUSE IT TO LAY DOWN AND EVENTIUALLY GROW BACK AND NOT HURT ANYMORE.

AYAYAY I WORRY ABOUT HOW ECCENTRIC HE CAN GET ON ME. YESTERDAY HE WANTED TO GO TO THE DENTIST AND HAVE MAJOR IMPLANTS TODAY HE CANCELLED IT. IMPULSIVE LIKE A KID HE IS. GOOD THING IM A SAINT.

OK TIME FOR FUN

I NOTICE MY LAST THREE ENTRIES ARE CRABBY, SO I DECIDE TO MAYBE HAVE A CHEERY ONE.
WHEN OUR DAUGHTER DIED IN 1984 OUR NEIGHBORS HAD THEIR SON MOVE IN WITH THEM HE HAD 2 LITTLE GIRLS ONE WAS 4 AND A BABY OF 6 MONTHS. WELL THE GRANDMOTHER HAD A JOB DOING MEDICARE BILLING FOR DOCTORS AND SHE NEEDED SOMEONE TO CARE FOR THIS BABY THE 4 YR OLD WAS IN MONTESSORI SCHOOL .
BOTH OF THESE LITTLE GIRLS WERE VERY BEAUTIFUL WITH BLOND HAIR AND BLUE EYES AND A CERTAIN SWEETNESS AND INNOCENCE ABOUT THEM.
I ASKED IF I MIGHT CARE FOR THE BABY BECAUSE I WAS IN A STATE OF GRIEVING FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD NOT WORK AT MY PROFESSION AS IT WAS TOO STRESSFUL AT THIS TIME. THE GRANDMA WAS DELIGHTED BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TRIANING IN CHILD BEHAVIORISM.
WELL, ANYWAY I TOOK CARE OF THIS LOVELY BABY FOR 1 YEAR UNTIL I HAD RECOVERED ENOUGH TO RETURN TO MY WORK. BUT THIS LITTLE ANGEL SAVED ME AND MY MIND AND HELPED TO EASE THE PAIN OF LOSS OF MY CHILD. TO GET ON WITH THE STORY, WE WOULD TAKE HER ALL OVER THE DOWNTOWN AREA IN HER STROLLER AND WE'D GOTO COFFEE SHOPS SHOPPING AND PLAYGROUNDS AND PARKS WITH HER WE SPENT AT LEAST 4 HOURS A DAY WHISKING HER AORUND AND SHE LOVED IT AND SOON ALL THE DOWNTOWNERS KNEW HER ON SIGHT, SHE WAS SUCHA SWEET TEMPERED LITTLE BABY NEVER CAUSE D ANY TROUBLE OR ANXIETY. PURE PLEASURE TO HAVE HER.
WELL AFTER I WENT BACK TO WORK SHE WENT TO A DAYCARE CENTER RUN BY A LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR WORKING MOMS AND SHE LOVED IT. BUT WE STILL TOOK HER OUT EVERY WEEKEND IN HER STROLLER AND SAW HER ALMOST DAILY AND GRANDMA AND I TALKED ABOUT HER PROUDLY AND WATCHED HER GROW AND LEARN SUCH A TREAT!! HER FIRST CHGRISTMAS I VIDEOTAPED IT SHE GOT A PRESENT AND HER SISTER HAD TO OPEN IT FOR HER AND WHEN IT WAS OPEN SHE WAS DELIGHTED AND SHE HAPPILY SAID " A BOCK A BOCK!" A BOX SHE WAS SO DELIGHTED TO GET A BOX SHE DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A PRESENT IN IT . WHAT A DOLL!
THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW YEARS AND EVEN AT AGE 4 SHE WOULD PUSH HER STROLLER OVER TO OUR HOUSE AND ASK FOR A WALK!
ONCE, SHE SPENT THE NIGHT WITH US AND HER SISTER LAUGHED AND SAID TO US? SLEEP HAHAH YOU ARE IN FOR A SURPRISE! WHEN WE WENT TO BED SHE BEGAN TO PLAY AND DAD TOLD HER "NO AMANDA ITS TIME TO SLEEP NO PLAYIGN NOW" AND SHE WENT TO SLEEP. WE DISCOVERED THAT SHE DID THIS A LOT AT HOME AND NO ONE WAS GETTING A LOT OF SLEEP THERE . I THINK WHEN WE GOT A HANDLE ON IT FOR THEM IT ALL WORKED OUT!
TODAY SHE IS 25 YEARS OLD AND HAS A BABY BOY OF HER OWN
SHE AND SISTER STILL LIVE WITH THEIR DAD AND GRANDMA HAS GONE TO THE HEREAFTER. SHE WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL WOMAN SUCH A COMFORT TO ME SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE SO KIND AND SUPPORTIVE WHEN I LOST MY CHILD I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THAT FAMILY.

NAME CHANGES

LAST WEEK I GOT THIS FLYER FOR CAR SALES FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHOEVER SENT IT PUT A SCREWED UP NAME ON IT NOT MINE AT ALL I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE FOUND THAT NAME AND HOOKED IT UP TO MY ADDRESS.
I GET SO TIRED OF PEOPLE SCREWING M WITH MY NAME. DURAN IS A VERY OLD NAME THAT CAME OVER FROM SPAIN WITH THE CONQUISTADORES AND ITS MINE AND I AIM TO KEEP IT ALIVE. REMEMBER MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS THE TREASURER OF NEW MEXICO TERRITORY AND THAT WAS BECAUSE HE WAS A WEALTHY AND REKNOWNED MAN IN HIS DAY AND RIGHTLY SO, OUR FAMILY HAD WEALTH UNTIL THE GREAT DEPRESSION IN THE 20S AND EARLY THIRTIES.
MY GRANDFATHER OWNED A SERVICE WITH HORSES AND MAIL AND FREIGHT MOVING UNTIL THE AUTOMOBILES CAME INTO FASHION. IM TELLING YOU I DO NOT WANT MY NAME CHANGED SO STOP IT. PEOPLE TRY TO SHORTEN IT CHANGE IT, MESS WITH IT AND I REALLY REALLY HATE THAT.

AAARGH THAT DAD... AGAIN

THIS MORNING DAD FUSSES FOR ME TO MAKE COPIES OF MATH WORKSHEETS FOR HIS WOMAN HE'S SPOSE TO TUTOR , AND THEN DISCOVERS ITS NOT TIL TOMORROW AFTER I RUSHED TO DO IT.I HAVE A STACK OF THINGS HE WANTS COPIES OF BY MY PRINTER...BLANK WILL PAPERS HE HAS TO DO A WILL WE ALREADY KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPEN BUT NOOOOO HE PESTERS ME ABOUT ONCE EVERY 2 YEARS HE HASSLES ABOUT IT.
I JUST HATE TO WRITE WILLS THERE IS JUST SO MUCH WE HAVE AND WHO REALLY NEEDS IT? EXCEPT FOR THE CASH OF COURSE AND OUR HOUSE . WE HAVE 2 SONS AND 1 GRANDDAUGHTER AND THEY GET EQUAL SHARES OF WHATS LEFT AFTER WE CREMATE OURSELVES.

IN FACT HE GOT ON THIS KICK ABOUT LEAVING HIS BODY TO SCIENCE (HAHHA) THEY CUT IT UP AND DO STUFF AND THEN CREMATE THE REMAINS AND TRY TO FIND ME TO DISPOSE OF THEM. I STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT . I PREFER A NICE CLEAN CREMATION AND DISPOSE OF ASHES AT THE RIGHT TIME.
ALL AT ONCE WITH NO FUSS.
MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW GAVE HIM THAT IDEA TO START WITH.
I DO NOT LIKE TO HAVE A MESS AT FUNERLAS AND MEMORILAS I NEED A NEAT WAY TO DEAL WITH STUFF SINCE ITS SO PAINFUL AS IT IS.
EVERY TIME HE AND SHE GET TOGETHER MORE INSANITY CREEPS INTO MY LIFE. I JUST WISH THEY'D EAT THEIR MIMI'S FOOD AND NOT PLOT AND SCHEME HOW TO ANNOY ME.
EAT YOUR SUGARY TREATS AND DO NOT HASSLE ME IM HAPPY JUST TO BE LEFT ALONE.

ADDENDUMMY

OKAY JOHN FORBES IS THE MILLIONAIRE FREEWAY 5 IN SACRAMENTO IS NAMED FOR.

MORE THINGS I NEED TO SAY

TODAY WE CAME HOME FROM AWAUTUKEE AS WE WENT TO LUNCH WITH OUR KIDS AT ARRIBA'S WHERE THEY SERVE VARYING DEGREES OF HOT CHILIS MY SON AND I LOVE HOT HOT KIND AND WE BOUGHT SOME HOT GREEN CHILIS FOR HOME USE.
THE HIGHWAY 10 IS NAMED THE PEARL HARBOR MEMORIAL FREEWAY AND MY HUBBY SAID ITS BECAUSE THE BATTLESHIP ARIZONA WAS SUNK AT PEARL HARBOR WITH ALL THE SAILORS ON IT. IT IS STILL VISABLE AND PARTIALLY SEEN OUT OF THE OCEAN. I ASKED WHY THEY DIDNT TAKE THE BODIES OUT HE DIDNT KNOW IF THEY DID OR NOT. IT HAS BEEN MY OBSERVATION THAT WHEN A CATASTROPHE OCCURS RECOVERING BODIES OF DEAD PEOPLE SEEMS MOST IMPORTANT.
I WONDER WHY? IF THEY ARE DEAD THAT IS MERELY A SHELL THAT CONTAINED THE ORIGINAL BEING THAT LIVED IT.
WHEN MY MOTHER DIED AND I VIEWED HER BODY I COULD SEE SHE WASNT THERE. IT WAS AN EMPTY SHELL OF MY MOTHER. THAT WAS A REAL SHOCK.
IN CALIFORNIA WE HAVE AN INTERSTATE 5 NAMED AFTER THE BILLIONAIRE FORBES I CANNOT REMEMBER HIS FIRST NAME NOW BUT I WONDERED WHAT HE HAD TO DO WITH CALIFORNIA AND FREEWAY 5.
THERES A GRANT GEYER FREEWAY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND I DONT KNOW WHO THAT WAS. A NIMITZ FREEWAY IN THE BAY AREA. NIMITZ SOUNDS LIKE DIMWITZ WHAT IS IT AFTER?
THERE ARE GRANT GEYERS ALL OVER THE PLACE EVEN IN ARIZONA. SO WHO WAS THE FREEWAY NAMED AFTER AND WHY? TO FIND OUT I HAVE TO SIGN INTO A PLACE THAT REQUIRES A LOT OF MY OWN PERSONAL INFO AND IM NOT WILLING TO DISCLOSE ALL THAT.
IF YOU ARE SO FAMOUS THAT FREEWAYS ARE NAMED AFTER YOU, THERE SHOULD BE CLEAR INFO ON YOU. EVEN FORBES HAS NO PLACE THAT GIVES HIS FIRST NAME IT WILL ONLY MENTION THE MAGAZINE CALLED FORBES. UGH.
ANYWAYS I HAD MUCH MORE STUFF TO WRITE ABOUT BUT MY MIND SLIPPED INTO NON MEMORY MODE.
WHEN MY KIDS WERE SMALLER WE USED TO PICNIC AT MATHER AFB PARK THE NOW DEFUNCT BASE IN SACRAMENTO, WITH THEIR DAD, THIS WAS PART OF FAMILY TIME WE DEVELOPED FOR OUR KIDS SO THEY COULD SEE THEIR DAD MORE DURING THE DAY.
ANYWAYS ONE DAY MY HUBBY AND I WERE HAVING A GROWNUP DISCUSSION WHEN OUR NO.2 SON WANDERED UP TO LISTEN . WE TOLD HIM TO GO AND PLAY AWAY FROM US AS WE NEEDED TIME ALONE HE ROLLED AROUND ON THE GRASS AND SAID "PLAY, PLAY, PLAY" IN PROTEST TO GOING ELSEWHERE. WE ALL STARTED TO LAUGH AS HE WAS FUNNY ROLLING AROUND LIKE THAT.
