Yeah, so this 'horse thing' is really pissin' me off...

And, it's affecting my temper in other situations, which isn't good, but... too damned bad.

Oh, before I forget...

Not ONE SINGLE PERSON... NOT ONE of Eric's family members called, even, to say "Happy Birthday" or anything else to him.

Humans suck.

You let me find RoddyBoy in Yahoo games again... I will NOT not bug him this time. Rod is Eric's brother... heh. One of them, anyway. One I have access to, that is. He WILL get an ear/eyeful when I see his ass on here and Chris just better hope if he ever does call, Eric answers.

Yeah man... when it came to Eric's birthday this year, there couldn'ta BEEN more people fuckin' it up if I'd HIRED them to do so.

Asshats.

(Say it with me)... I HATE HUMANS!!!!!!

Some Most of 'em, anyway.

Yes, Miss Anthrope lives.
That oughta be my name... Miss Anthrope. I should get a banner to wear, a tiara, cash and a car, don'tcha think? Fuck, man...

Hell, I'd settle for the banner and a scepter to hit people with. Ooohh... wait a minnit... I HAVE one a those.... Some 'semantics-minded' dolts might wanna call it an AXE HANDLE, but it'd work... reeeeeally well, too. Hmmmm....

Yes, yes... off to the 'library', like I said...

I shall return.

Yeah, I'm still alive....

I haven't been saying too much, mostly cause I haven't been 'able' to say what I want about a certain deal, but, it looks like that's fucked now, so I may as well say whatever the hell I want, right?

"Looks like it's fucked"...heh. It IS fucked, unless we can make Eric's birthday re-appear. And, unless the goddamned horse ever appears AT ALL, of course.

I hate humans.

Gawd.

Anyway... I haven't heard from the Family Plots chick this week, so either it's too late in the season to continue or maybe she just wasn't too overly impressed with my writeup. Whatever.

Just check out Family Plots. It's a good show, like I said waaaay back in April, before anybody even ASKED. The Family in it is cool and I, myself , am just insanely interested in all things forensic... anything that involves dead people is cool by me. Muuuuch better than live ones, anyway.

The two kids are here. Have been since Friday, will be until Tuesday. They're fine. So far.... House is clean, all furry, four-legged kids are fine, everybody else is fine... Just that one HUGE-ASSED thing fuckin' me up.

On one hand, it's a kinda cool thing to be able to be pissed about, yet on the other... it's just goddamned fuckin' STUPID. Of course it's STUPID. PEOPLE are involved.

Have I mentioned I hate people?

Anyway.... I'm off to the 'library' for a while, then I'll purge all this bullshit. THEN, maybe I can get back to regular posting... I hope. I just get so friggin' bunged up when I can't 'say anything' about something... especially when that something is fuckin' up my world, which this is.

Fuckin' boneheaded mutant dillholes.

Then, too... there's the 18 year old who must not wanna live to see 19, or college this fall....

grrrr... too much shit, man... too much shit.

And, I haven't punched one single person... YET.

Siiiigh.
I'm gettin' old.

Anyhoo... I'll be back.

Okay... question for any fellow 'horse-people'...

I just sent an email to Farnam, the makers of Wipe fly repellent for horses. I've been using this stuff forever, but... I have a question.

Back in the 70's, I can remember adding water to the Wipe and using a spray bottle to apply it. What I can't remember is how many parts water to how many parts Wipe. Half and half seems the most obvious, but, somehow, that doesn't 'feel' right.

Anyhow, I wrote and asked Farnam, but I mostly expect them to say not to add water, blah, blah because then I'd not use as much as fast and wouldn't have to replace it so often... you know. (They won't put it that way, of course, but that'll be the real reasoning, I'm sure...)

Anyway... has anyone else used Wipe? And, added water? If so, how much to how much?

And yeah... I do know about Avon Skin-So-Soft stuff. It works too, but... now that my Grandmom is gone, I don't know any Avon ladies anymore. Besides, I already have two containers of Wipe sitting right here...

Anyhoot... suggestions?

God Bless Alfred Wight...

Also known as James Herriott.

herriot-1.jpg

Without him a sheep would have died today, along with more animals than I can count before this...

I've read all of his books, but have read the 4 most famous ones, "All Things Bright and Beautiful", "All Creatures Great and Small", "All Things Wise and Wonderful", "The Lord God Made Them All", more times than I can even begin to tell you. I've been reading them since I was about 8.

I learned a lot from Dr. Wight. I've saved more animals and known what to do more times, thanks to him.... It happened again today.

Eric thought he saw a little albino deer out across a field, near a hedgerow. Upon closer observation, using binoculars, it was discovered to be the sheep who lives here and she wasn't looking good. Eric and Rick went on down to get her and found her tangled and exhausted, wrapped in briars. They herded her back up into the cow barn and came and got me.... Miss Fixit.

I go on out and this poor little girl is foaming at the lips, trembling, panting and acting blind. DING! Heatstroke... the bull in the Herriott story... Got her up further into the calf pens, where she was at least of a comparable size and got her water. She drank and I poured. I slowly poured two buckets of water over her back and neck and the back of her poor little head while she sipped the other bucket.

Slowly, she started returning to normal. I set her up a little spot, next to the hay bales, with her water, a flake of timothy hay and a handful of sweet feed. By the time I left her, she had quit trembling, her breathing was waaaay more normal and she wasn't hot enough to fry an egg on, anymore. Her ears were cool to the touch, as was her back. It was also obvious that she was getting her sight back, too. Much more 'focused' on things. She also nibbled a bit of the sweet feed outta my hand.

I'm pleased and proud to have been able to help her. It feels sooo good.
And, I have James Alfred Wight, popularly known as "James Herriott" to thank for it. Again.

Thank you for the guidance, Sir.
I've appreciated it every single time.

Thank you for giving me one of the few things about myself of which I can be proud. It means more to me than I can articulate that I can perpetuate your love of animals and gift of healing them in any small way.

Without you, a sheep would have died a needless and horrible death today.
God Bless you.

God, I love this guy...

19971022f.jpg

Steve Earle dot com

I've been listening to Steve since the early 80's. I started with Guitar Town, one of the best albums-song for song- I've ever heard.

I've loved Steve from the start.

When I first heard "Copperhead Road", I was GONE... totally committed, a fan forever, absolutely commandeered by Steve. He owned my soul from the opening bagpipes... My life will never be without him in it now.

Then, there's the shit I went through back then, when I first found him. It's an almost unbelieveable coincidence that this poster is from one of his concerts in Missouri. That's where 'the guy' is from... that guy, David Allen Hawkins, whom I was trying to love back then. He's from Fredericktown, David is. Man....

I think it's getting to be time to get this out and down soon. First, I found David's address on here, then I mentioned "Copperhead Road" the other day, then today I find a Yahoo News item about Steve and started looking for pictures and as I see the songs featured on the album covers, it's whipping me back in time to the "David-era"....

I swear to Gawd, in some ways, I am lucky to be alive.... lol.

Ahh, David. You still alive, Son? I've got your address and phone number again, but I'm mostly too scared to call your Mom and ask... scared of what she may have to tell me, ya know? I don't wanna know THAT.

Maybe after I get out all that I remember, I'll wanna know. I mean, I DO want to know how you are... I just wish I could know beforehand that you still ARE, period.

In the meantime, here's the one and only Steve Earle again, in all his utter gorgeousness...

B000002PFV.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

My God, that hair.... mmmm. *wipes drool off chin*

1761.jpg

An excellent song, by the way...

4493.jpg

"Fearless Heart" was my ANTHEM back then.

Well, I guess I know what I'll be doing for the next little while... digging all my Steve Earle tapes out. They're all within a five foot radius of where I'm sitting, I'm just not sure IN what.

But, I can see a night of Steve, Tequila Rose and David happening.
I am so scared that David is dead... shit.

Anyhow, if ya ever run across Guitar Town, Exit 0 or Copperhead Road, go on and get 'em. You won't be disappointed.

In fact, you'll fall in love.
Steve Earle kicks ass.

Tonight on A&E at 9:00 & 9:30.

Oh, and about the 13th...

Suffice it to say it was one looooong day.
That's probably because it started insanely early. As in: 11:00am, 6-12-2004.
That was when I got up, after I finally got to sleep after locating the pissed off kitten in my room at 7:00am. (She was in a corner of the closet that I needed a miner's helmet (with a lamp on it?) and a map to find...)

I got up and continued cleaning. My house is so clean right now, it's almost scary.
What cats? HOW many? Dogs, too?
Yes.

Since the major project of cleaning this place back around my birthday, it's been pretty easy to keep up with. Even when I let the dishes congregate for a while or DON'T keep up with the wash to the degree that I wash Eric's clothes even if he only had them on for 14 and a half minutes like he always says, I've been able to not only keep up easily, I've also managed to get some of the things done on my "Bitch Do" list. (That's my version of the "Honey Do" list that I make for myself...)

So, yesterday I not only finished the wash and vacuumed and re-did all the animal stuff and the usual shit like that, I actually dusted the living room. With Pledge, even.

Hey man, I even did all the cabinets in the kitchen and every where else. If it's any kinda wood, simulated or otherwise, it got Pledged.

I even "Pledged" the kitchen ceiling. (Repeat after me, please... "I, state your name..." *pause* "I, state your name"... they repeat back verbatim... Thank you... Thank you ver' much...)

Still, it's shiny.

The carport is... simply awesome.

I want to hang out out there, now.

Have ya ever seen a two car gargage so stuffed with shit that only one car can fit and there are paths thru said shit to various other spots in said garage? Well, that was what the carport was like and it's not even big enough for two cars to begin with. Sheesh.

There's so much room out there now, you can park the car in it and walk around the entire car like a normal person instead of schoochin' along side-steppin' like a deranged country line dancer. On crack. With no music playing.

That was always fun when unloading groceries, let me tell ya.

Anyhoo... The house is clean, the yard is newly landscaped by WonderBoy, a.k.a. 'Eric' (who knew he did landscaping? Not me, man...wow.), the carport has been re-claimed in the name of 'ME', the horse's stall is ship-shape (quickly checks to make she used a 'p' and not a 't' in that first word...) and it's gorgeous.
It's also very strange, cuz I keep wondering whose house I've accidentally wandered into and where'd they get my cats from? Oh, yeah... our house. Forgot. (I'm still kinda punchy from no sleep...) (Heh.)

Around noonish yesterday, we 'passed' a kind of 'inspection', as it were. Then, we took a little road trip. (Don't let me forget the whole "Porsche analogy" from that experience as soon as I can say anything about any of it... Gawd.)

Got home around 6? 7? I dunno. It was still light out. Had some dinner and went to bed. It was stll a little light out then, too.

Got up at 3:30/3:45am and here I am, sluggish, bleary-eyed and suckin' back coffee. (Christ, I wish I got that 'caffeine charge' thing people talk about....)

It's overcast and perfectly not hot or cold. It just IS. Birds are chirpin', calves are bawlin' a bit, but... is it supposed to rain?

Better still... do ya's WANT it to rain? If ya do, I can go outside with the intent to ride Storm. It'll go on and rain then. If I crawl back to bed for a while, it'll get nice out. Til I get up, anyway...

Yeah, that reminds me... if anybody around here ever needs it to rain, just let me know. All I hafta do is wash my hair and get out across a field, away from the house and it'll rain, sure as shit. Kinda like washing a car, without the waxing part.

I should charge for it, it's so fool-proof.


Guess I'll go decide by hangin' with the can-opener going to the 'library' for a bit...

Hell, that IS where politicians make all their final decisions, ain't it?

Peace, y'all....

Dear (stupid, stupid) MTBlacklist...

Hi, it's me, the one who writes this dreck.

Look, man. We've got a problem, that, if ya don't resolve, is gonna end up with you evicted from my world.

For the record, I have ENOUGH stupid shit in my life that exists to fulfill one simple purpose and canNOT seem to do it; such as a toilet ya hafta flush a MINIMUM of 27 times to 'not be disgusting' after using it, a fuckin' CAN OPENER that'd make a better toilet than a can opener seeing as the way I wind up actually gaining entry into said can is by BASHING it to smithereens with the alleged 'can opener' after it turns out the pice of shit can't cut TINFOIL, let alone an actual can and on and on. Dude. I OWN A NEXTEL CELL PHONE!!!!! (Talk about yer basic 'excersizes in frustration'.... GRRRR!!!!)

There are doors it's hard to open, harder to keep closed or that wanna close while you're still in 'em. Cars who decide "YOUR QUARTER RAN OUT!!!! AND FUCK YOU!!!!" no matter how far from home ya are at the time and that give not one thought as to the last time it was waxed or maintenenced. (Which was, no doubt, right before it left the house... asshole cars.)

Then, there are men, cats, DOGS, dirt, horses that are to be GAZED- not sat- upon... (eyes rollin' right outta my head here) the list is endless.

In case, MTBLacklist, you aren't getting the point:

I DO NOT NEED YER SHIT.

You won't let Mad Mikey, a guy I know, trust and like lots, say the word 'draped', but it's okay for some anonymous fuckwit to spam me with Disney?

You're stupid and right now... I hate you.

Here's the deal.

I hired you. (Let you move in here... WHATEVER!) You fuck with ONE MORE person I like or let one more brainless piece of worm shit spam me with ANYTHING, including that gag-fest bunch of corporate jackoffs also known as "Disney", and you are OUTTA HERE!!!!!

Got it? Asshole?

Do yer fuckin' JOB- which by MY definition is keeping dick-stiffeners of all descriptions and prescriptions out of my life.

Not flag draped coffins. (Not that I want many o'those, but fuck. I'd honestly rather have to deal with a dead guy than one STICKING HIS WOODY IN MY FUCKIN' FACE!!!!! In fact, guys of the second description can quickly become men of the first description by doing that.... just a thought.)

Sooo... ya got it?

Leave Mad Mikey the fuck alone.
Stop letting Tinkerbell-wanna-be's spam me.

Or die.

Your choice.

This is your last chance and I will be WATCHING YOU...

Sincerely pissed,
me

... in my mind everytime I play "Willie the Wimp" and "Pipeline", which I've just done about 5 times in a row.

These two songs just make me feel so damned GOOD!!

I just wanna stand in front of a huge fan and play air-guitar.
(Like I used to do in the milking parlor at Wellacrest...)

And, this...

... is how much I love you, Stevie Ray and how much 'good' ya make me feel.

Here come the cramps, doo-doo-doo-doo...

Here come the cramps
And, I say
It's not right....

Sorry, Mr. Harrison, but, it just popped into my head.

Left one, this time. So far, there's only a colt-sized horse treadin' on it, but I expect he'll grow into a full sized Clydesdale soon enough.

This shit is getting so weird. Remember I said a few days ago that it had made it's prescence known in a small way? Well, it waved at me, then went completely away til just now, with the cramps barely getting started.

What is that about?

I have the politest, most 'helpful' monthly terrorist on the planet, apparently. It sends out 'warnings' in advance, just like a dentists office does with those 'appointment reminders'. Wow.

So, let's see if I can guess what the schedule is this time.

Check in: No later than tomorrow morning.
Check out: No later than Wednesday morning.

I was pissy yesterday morning, then yesterday afternoon on the way to cash Eric's check, I got to looking at all these cute little brick houses and feeling all weepy because I doubt Eric and I will ever have that kinda life and I bought a lottery ticket.

I don't play the lottery.

And, this morning, here I am, in a pretty good mood, in spite of the fact that we didn't win and I got bit on the finger by a kitten. And, in spite of the crampiness. I don't 'git it' and I hate hormones, by the way. (And ovaries and uterusi... uteruses? whatever... you can have the whole kit and kaboodle. Free, even.)

That's another thing. I have about 15 cats. A friend wants a kitten. So, what do I do?

Go out in the barn and catch him one that isn't mine, that's what.
And, get bit.

My big excuse for doing that this time is that he wants a cat who looks like Sylvester and the best I could do with any of mine is one that looks like a Holstein. So, I caught him a Sylvester, who is currently hiding in my bedroom, plotting my death, no doubt. (Cue up the "JAWS" theme...)

This guy is one of my really good friends, but I just can't do it. Well, I mean, I could, if I reeeally had to, but if you were gonna do something that would make you cry for days and you had another way to get the same thing accomplished, wouldn't you take the alternate route?
Me too.
Finger puncture and all.

In the meantime, I now know what the hay deal was about. He just wanted me to smell it and see how nice it was because that's what Jon (the Liar Guy) brought for Storm. (He works on a farm himself and is constantly dropping off bales of hay one and two at a time. (Ask me...I dunno.)

Anyway, it was the phone call that was the important part, but, just like last time, I'm not gonna say anything yet. (Which is a huge clue, right there...) I don't wanna jinx shit by making any premature, 'grand announcements'.

I will, however, say that keeping Dan in mind is helping me stay calm and not get freaked out. This is the third time we've done this. The first time didn't work out and Dan made me feel all kindsa better about it. The second time, it did work out and I hope more than you could believe that it does this time, too.

If I'm not mistaken (and I may well be) I think my 'lil friend' had showed up right before the last time we did this, too. I know I had 'intestinal distress' the first time. And, for good reason, as it turned out.

Aaaanyway....

It's too nice out to be sittin' here and I probably oughta do something with the mess that is the carport.

I shall return.

Peace.

Why?

I am sitting here, at the computer desk, in my nightie still, having had only one cuppa coffee so far and for some reason I cannot even begin to fathom, Eric just handed me a wad of really good smellin' hay, then, without getting to say one word about 'why', ran outside to answer his cell phone.

I just typed this with one hand, whilst holding the hay in the other.

God, men are weird.

Cheddar X coolness...

This one is last times. There is a newer one about work, but I liked this one better... for now. (The one before this one is political, so I got kinda glaze-eyed and wandered away...)


1. What do you have planned for the future?
Survival.

2. Who is the single most important person in your life and why?
Eric. Why? Because of every single rhyme or reason the heart can conceive of.

3. Describe yourself in five words.
I am seriously nuckin' futz.

4. You can spend one night alone with any one person you wish--who is it?
Eric. 'Night' implies nudity, to an extent. If the word had been 'day' or 'time', the list would have included Paul and Bret Hart, to name but two. (Two Mikes and a Rob come to mind, too.)

5. Name your five favorite movies.
Only 5? Shit... The Birdcage, Weekend at Bernie's, Full Metal Jacket, The Stand and The Goodbye Girl.

6. Name your five favorite musical artists.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Bee Gee's, Waylon Jennings, Roger Miller and Pink Floyd.

Extras... cool.

7. Name your five favorite movies when you were in high school.
Rocky, The Posideon Adventure, The Sting, Star Wars and The Arisocats. Now, I know not all of these came out when I was in high school, but they ARE all movies I saw with Dad, so they're my favorites. (All at the now defunct Woodstown Grand, too, if I'm not mistaken...)

8. Five favorite musicians when you were in high school.
Skynyrd, Zepplin, Paul Mc Cartney and Wings, Van Halen and Heart.

Go here to see all of 'em.
