Halloween Countdown - 30 days to go!
With only 30 days to Halloween - my mind has naturally wandered to graveyard inscriptions. Heres my favorite gravestone inscription:
Remember, friends, as you pass by,
As you are now so once was I.
As I am now, so you must be.
Prepare yourself to follow me.
And a little Halloween quote to get you in the mood....

My hubbie and I have just gone through a craptastic couple of days. My hubbie slipped and tumbled on the stairs Friday morning, bashing his chin (a huge purple bruise blossomed) and broke his leg (awesome!)) and scared the crap out of me. I had to rush him to the hospital  - 50 minutes away. Since he wasn't actively bleeding out his ears, we ended...

  I think that's the reason why so many good looking men are still alive... either that or females put up a better fight against the urge to suffocate them in their sleep!  We do still adore them so... even when they are at their whiniest point....

Cool kitty!
Speaking of waters(!), none were tested - but there shouldn't have been a need. Agenda? Who knows. I don't even think it was planned.
It just... happened.
My views and opinions were well known. I initially thought the whole thing was a joke and responded accordingly - that certainly didn't help matters. I think I'd better stick to hiking, reading and socializing with my cat for a while...

Blessings of Mabon  Autumn Equinox
Once more the liberal year laughs out
Oer richer stores than gems or gold:
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is natures boldest triumph told.

This morning, before most North Americans had rolled out of bed, we moved into the time of perfect balance, the Equinox, taken from the Latin for equal night. It is the...

  i even said that when i was on the phone with him. i caught myself. i said "you made me feel like crap" but the reality was i chose to feel that way.  i stopped myself and said it was on me and i was sorry if he thought i was being argumentative...and he said baby no need to  apologize it's nothing.  i dunno i just felt like bad mojo...and i didn't want him thinking it was "like before" ef that  seriously it's far from BEFORE.
anyhow i'm fine now thanks for caring girl.

  I was raised Roman Catholic, but it never really quite took, if you catch my meaning. I love spirituality and the higher plains and god/s and am a very staunch believer in a higher power and miracles and so fourth. I am just not a believer in the church. My Missus has opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world which is another reason I am so grateful for her. I thought there was something missing from my life because I wanted spirituality but I just can't stand behind an organization (and lets face it that's what church is) run by men. So thanks to her and friends like you willing to teach and enlighten without pushing your views. You had an opinion on your own blog and I came to you, not vice versa. I can't wait to meet you in reality and have some wonderful conversations with you and my Kitten. Take care!!

What do you know? It's Sept. and that means it's time again for International Talk Like a Pirate Day. It's on a Saturday (this Saturday), so you won't be able to impress with your co-workers with your extensive knowledge of pirate jokes (it's drivin' me nuts).
On the flip side, they won't have to see you wearing your knickers and fake eye-patch....

  you should get in touch with the local pagan community then, some groups are quite rife with costumes.
My stepfather passed away three years ago today.  We all nicknamed him the "Old Farte".  
He reveled in it and collected all kinds of fart memorabilia over the years.
So in his memory, here is an "Ode to an Old Farte" -
 
A fart is a pleasant thing,
It gives the belly ease,
It warms the bed in winter,
And suffocates the fleas.

  North Carolina is one of many places i'd consider moving to.  It would be in a more rural area than where my daughter lives.  I don't drive, so i'd need to be near some kind of public transportation, (buses most likely).
I'll pm you with more thoughts about coming up with a moving plan. I'd like your response to what i'm thinking.

Ive learned a thing or two from our roller coaster economy over the past two years. The most valuable lesson of all: It's time to start focusing on the life lessons we've learned along the way and throw off this mantle of materiality that has smothered us for so long.
I hear my friends talk about diminishing expectations ahead -...

  it's 100% what you said, he did come for the person underneath, this girl. 
the one he talks to and tells he loves everyday.
that's what it is all about...and at the end of the day the rest is just STUFF.
i have so much STUFF in storage just sitting there, that i haven't even thought about in a year.
i live a relatively simple existence, now if i can just stop the retail therapy, lol

Things to Ponder Over:
 
* I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
* More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can
think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell
my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves
me.
* Nothing sucks more than that...

  You are endlessly awesome and hilarious!! I know it's been a while since I've been around, it happens. I wish I saw your blog when you put it out because it's funny as hell! But I'm glad I didn't read it until tonight because I really needed the laugh. Thank you for the sweet thoughts and kind words, and you are right.

  Thanks for the good thoughts and wishes.  Unfortunately, there were new developments that I just talked about in the blog I posted a few minutes ago.  I'm still physically and emotionally drained after actually being able to get some decent quality of sleep.
I hope things are well with you.

This is literally a 'church signs' debate, being played out in a Southern US town, between
Our Lady of Martyrs Catholic Church, and Cumberland Presbyterian, a fundamentalist church.
From top to bottom shows you the response and counter-response over time.
The Catholics are displaying a much better sense of humor! You get the impression that the Presbyterians are actually taking...

 Personalities to Avoid
Although we like to think that the people in our lives are well-adjusted, happy, healthy minded individuals, we sometimes realize that it just isn't so. Personally, I've had moments where I'll be skipping through my day, happy as can be, thinking life is grand and BAM, I'll be blindsided by someone who manages to knock the happy wind out of my sails....

DON'T LAUGH UNTIL YOU FIND OUT WHAT YOUR NEW NAME IS -
We all need a little stress-reliever. This only takes a minute. Please don't be a bore & ruin it.
Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, you need some silliness to break up the day.
If we are honest, we have a lot more stressful days than not.
