I can not believe some one, in this day and age, could be so ignorant and cold blooded. I can not describe how outraged I am after viewing this video.

I received this from a coworker who received it from a friend from her synagogue. Unbelievable.

Have you ever had a friend or associate that just annoyed the hell out of you? No matter what you say they seem to have an opposing view? They never seem to enjoy anything. Always seem to be miserable?

I know such a person and I want to strangle her with my bare hands. UGH!

She was one of the people that was on the Vegas trip I went on last year? We went to see the Chippendales. THE CHIPPENDALE! She sat there, with her purse in her lap, THE WHOLE TIME, motionless, a statue. How the hell do you go to Vegas, get dressed up, hang with your girls and visit the Chippendales and sit your ass in the chair like a bump on the log? That irritated me to no end.

If I say something like, “Men are a pain in the ass but they need understanding.” She’ll come back with, “Not all men.” Bitch, I was just making a general statement. Geesh!

We were talking about the election last night and I was mentioning how exciting this whole thing is. We are witnessing history in the making. Not every generation get to do that. Her response, “Well, whatever, I just want to see what happens if Obama get into the office.”

Bitch, whether he wins the general election or not, the mere fact that he is a democratic nominee is huge. Step out of your box and recognize this for what it is.

I just want to drop kick her in her retina sometimes. Damn!

Let me tell you that I have a whole new respect for the Red Cross. Through out this whole ordeal they have been right there...they were on the scene lickety split. I was surprised and impressed. I'm not sure how they heard of the fire especially so quickly but they were there and really stepped up to the plate. They gave us food vouchers and a hotel for a few nights. They have even called me several times just to check on me. They've been fabulous.

After the initial few days I stayed another few days at my mothers house. My brother and his daughters are staying there for the time being. He asked me to come out there and stay for a while and begrudgingly I accepted his invitation. Why begrudgingly you ask? Well, although my brother went through great pains to clean the house and get my room in order for me the house was still grimy and I did not feel comfortable staying there. I was so pleased when the temporary housing folks called and said they can put me up in a hotel for a while I was ecstatic. I moved there lickety split. The Hyatt Place is a really beautiful place. Now let me say this, I was only scheduled to stay there for a few days until more "permanent" temporary housing could be located.

Well today I had to move out of paradise and move into an Extended Stay America hotel. For those of you not familiar they are hotels geared for people who need to be away from home for an extended period of time. I checked in today and was less then impressed. It's surely not a Hyatt Place I tell you that. But I'll make it home for the next month or so. Oh well.

So all in all everything is coming along.

I almost forgot to tell you, on Thursday I had to meet the folks that were removing all my furniture and contents to have them cleaned and stored and the people that were going to take my clothes to also have them cleaned and stored. It was way overwhelming to have all these people running in and out of my house. Not to mention the disaster recovery people were there also to continue with the reconstruction process. I just stood in the parking lot out of the way so I wouldn't get trampled on.

So it's a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Very lovely. The Analyst and I attend a great church service. A really good friend and his new girlfriend come over to visit and they end up staying for dinner. All in all a very lovely day.

After my friends leave I decide I need to go visit my mother for a few so I jump in the car and head over to her place. It's now about 6:10. I arrive and and we have a short but lovely visit. The Analyst requested an Italian Ice from Rita's so on my way home I stop off and grab one for him.

It's now 7:30 pm and I turn down the street that leads to my development and I notice a couple of fire trucks on the street. I'm thinking,'Hmmmm... Something must be going on here. I wonder what.' I then turn onto the circle that leads to my court and notice a few more fire trucks on the court right behind my house. 'Hmmmm...that's awfully close to my house. I wonder if the people behind me are OK?'

I continue around the circle and turn onto my street and see a few more fire trucks RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I remember thinking, 'Wow. The side of my house is all burned. Maybe it's just the side of my house and the rest of it is fine.' Then I look up into my third bedroom and I see a fireman all in the window. 'This can't be good.'

I then start to see the severity of the situation when I see several firemen coming out of my house. I park the car, get out and walk toward the destruction stunned.

DAMN!!!!

Lovely isn't it?

It was an electrical fire that started from the meters on the side of my house. Lucky me.

OK, I know it's been ages since I've posted in my blog. You will not believe how crazy it's been. I've been working my ass off and I can't afford that. lol I've had 2 graduations to attend in the last couple days, and so much other stuff going on.

Well, let me start off by saying that The Analyst has finally gotten a job.....Thank God! He has been so stressed lately it's been driving ME crazy but he has a start date of June 1st and he's excited and I'm excited for him. He got a HUGE pay increase too so he's really thrilled about that. The job is in NJ so he'll be staying there during the week and coming to my house on the weekends. We'll see how long that lasts. I'm just glad he'll be working again. Unemployment really takes a toll on a man's self worth and self esteem.

I was called to jury duty Monday. Let me tell you, I have not been called in about 14 years. The exact same thing happened Monday that happened then. I was herded into a holding pin with all the other cattle where we proceeded to wait....and wait.....and wait some more. It was grueling. Every case except one was either settled or postponed so we sat there the entire day looking at old ass movies. Whatever. I was ecstatic when they said "Your time has been served and you are free to go." Can I tell you the woman hadn't even finished her statement when people began pushing and shoving trying to get out of there. I just cowered in the corner until the coast was clear.

I must tell you that there was a woman that had some sort of coughing problem. This woman could not stop coughing, It was brutal and guess what, of course she had to sit next to guess who...you guessed right... ME!!! Damn the luck. Every time this chick coughed I just cringed. It was awful. I hate for people to cough around me because I don't know what airborne illness they may have and I damn sure don't want it. It was agonizing. I was just about to get up and find somewhere else to sit when she decided to get up. Joy of joys.

Oh yeah, I sure could do this jury duty thing every day.

Ok, I have been pondering this question for about a week now. Why does it seem that modern day sex experts that rise to fame are old women? I’m just curious. It seems that old women have taken the lead at being the world’s leading experts on all things sexual.

This question came to mind when I was watching the Oxygen channel one day and they were advertising the series finale of the Sue Johanson show. Remember years ago the guru of human sexuality was none other then Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Remember her?

Do you see a pattern here? When you think of human sexuality you think of young, attractive people. Not senior citizens. I find this very interesting.

I’m just wondering. lol

Ok, anyone that knows me knows that I am so not good in an emergency. If someone is choking, bleeding or passed out I am running in the opposite direction. Trust!

I just can't help it. I could never work as a medical professional! I would get fired within the hour!

Case in point, I was working downtown and I was walking around during lunch time to run an errand. I was walking along this really busy main street when up in the distance I saw this little old lady kneeling on the ground. I stopped for a moment to assess the situation. I then slowly continued on my path. As I approached the woman I could see that she was bleeding rather profusely from her forehead and her eyeglasses were twisted on the ground. Oh no...what am I to do?

I try to help folks when I can. I try to be a good citizen, kind and generous but this is beyond my capabilities. There was BLOOD for goodness sakes!

I stopped, asked the poor woman if she was ok. She, in a very weakened voice, said "No." I looked behind me and saw there were two women coming up in our direction.

I thought to myself 'Hmmm, these women look like they can help this woman. I bet they would know exactly what to do.' So I turned around and did what any self respecting scaredy cat would do.....RUN OFF!

I couldn't help it, I kept going. I just couldn't deal with the blood!

I feel so terrible!!!

Another situation arose. I was in Atlantic City, NJ with a friend. We were having breakfast in this quaint restaurant when all of a sudden, I could see straight ahead of me a man slumping down in his seat next to his wife. The woman immediately began to scream, "Someone help!!"

I did what I do best, I immediately jumped up and started running toward the front door making a beline right outta there!!! Forgetting my purse and everything!

My friend had to call me back to make me stay.

Just please don't call me in an emergency
