kick them while their down

Sat the 29th of October our phone went out. Well Thursday our pick up started to have front-end problems. But before that we started to look for anther rig so Murphy Nephew Manu does Auto body work and told us that he had a 1999 Chevy caviler for $1000, with 75,000 miles on it. Ok no problem with that and we weren’t in any hurry about buying a rig and we are even willing to pay more for a better rig so we can get a better rig.
Late afternoon Murphy sister Faith and her husband Heinz stopped over on their way to Sandpoint to do some shopping at home depot for their bed and breakfast business and they were going out for dinner. Faith tells her brother that Manu got a caviler for $2,000 and it only got $75,000 miles on it. Why does the price goes up when we have a broken rig? Are they try to gouge us
Well a short time ago Steve brother Earl and his wife Tadita car engine blew up because they didn’t put oil in it. They were in Courd’ Alene and had to call up Faith to come and get them.
But Manu and or Faith got Earl and Tadita a 1998 Dodge Commodore for $800. Why didn’t Manu or Faith tried to gouge them “hell they were broke down” and we are are willing to pay cash. Tadita and Earl had or still making payments. Last time I drove by their yard I think I count 5 broken down rig in the yard although not parted out.
In my own thoughts Murphy family looks at him as the big bad older brother because he will tell them NO, stand up for what he believes in and doesn’t coddle his young siblings. Then I always thought Murphy family looked at Earl as; “poor Earl and Tadita is having hard time and bad luck fell on them”. Everyone has a bad luck but I’ll tell you something Earl and Tadita brings on the problems them self. I know few time they had their electricity cut off because they didn’t pay for it. Here the thing I know my electrical bill comes the first part of the month and we get paid the first of the month and I’ll make sure that our electrical bill is paid out of that check.
Earl and Tadita haven’t had their electricity turn off for a long time I believe.
I believe that most people brings on over 75% of their own problems but I’ll give less then 25% to bad luck

I could tell more about Earl and Tadita. Let just say Quincy Faith daughter also has an interesting life too. I’ll be the first to confess that my shit stinks, but Earl and Tadita shit doesn’t stink .

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

National Sale Tax

It been said that a national sale tax would hurt the poor. I’ve been reading about the national sale tax ideal. Ok everyone has the ideal of what percentage to charge.
I would say charge 5 percent on everything except food and medicine. This tax money should go as follow 2 ½ % goes to education and 2 ½ % goes to health care I don’t believe get rid of the federal income taxes. Later on I’ll blogg about how I think the federal income taxes should be.
Just think how much taxes aren’t collect via Internet sale.
I found some links and I know Canada has a federal sale tax. Last time I bought anything in British Columbia I paid 14% and part of it stayed in BC and part of it went to their national government.

My 10 opinion

I didn't see any space people.

My client Callie had surgery on her finger she had her trigger finger release. So this weekend I’ll be working. I hardly work on weekends.
Callie is real undemanding and a reasonable. So doing a weekend here and their I have no problem doing it.

This afternoon after work my friend Quenelle and I went to Sandpoint to do some shopping. First we went to “ Your Place or My Place “ So Quenelle could get some beer making supplies. Doing beer and wine along with other domestic stuff has always interested me, usual interested me Then we went over to JC Penny to look around and I would like a heavy Terry Cloth robe and it was out of my price range. I just can’t justify paying $75 for a robe. Then we went to Wal Mart and picked up a few things and I spent about $20.00 their. Then we went over to home depot I bought a planter to put my wonder jew plant in and got package of 8 bright yellow Tulips and package of light yellow with dark center daffodils. Then we went to the thrift store. The first thrift store we went to was the animal shelter one and I didn’t find anything their. We went to the Goodwill and I found a soft light coral color blouse.

When I got home from work I found out from Murphy that the pick up was broke down. Murphy makes every problem that the world coming to an end Ok, I would guess the front wheel barring or the brakes are shot.
I followed Murphy over to Bear Mechanics. They can’t fix sometime after Tuesday and that’s fine.

I went curves three times this week. I like to get down to 150 pounds for a while and see if I’m comfortable with that weight I know I need to chance some of my habits toward better health. I know I need 3 area I could work on is. 1) Get out and walk more. 2) Increase my fruit and Veggie intake. 3) Drink more water.

In ceramics I been working on the price list and that’s a slow possess.
When I was in Wal-Mart I need 3 larger size totes to store some stuff in the shed at the North Bench. They were between $6.00 and $8.00. I just couldn’t afford them or I couldn’t justify buying them now.

I have to confess when I was in wal-mart I took a look at the Cookie jars and see what they were selling for and what I would sell mine for. Yea Wal-Mart cookie jars are $9.98 to $15.98. They where all in boxes so I didn’t see the quality of work or size
My cookie jar goes for around $20 and all what I do is of good quality.

spending like they are no tommorow

Shame on us for having a national debt.I don’t understand why the United States government can not stay out of debt. We’re speeding more then what we taking in tax revenues.
Ok their two things we need to is increase our taxesYes I said increase are taxes and do some fairspending cuts, starting right at the top. Let say cut corporation welfare at 3%. But they want to cut programs like Medicaid, food stamps, education, and housing program. Shame on us for hurting the low income and the poor

Is my swinger days comming to an end

I don’t know if I told that my husband and I am swinger. We’re not into big time. The three reason I do it is #1 It makes Murphy happy and I like to see my husband happy, #2 Meet other adults no kids are involved and #3 swinging is on the up and up.
I don’t seem to fit into the swinger mode. I don’t have bunch of piercing and tattoos and I’m not bi sexual.
Most of the men at a swinger party are so much into oral sex. The reason is that an errection is all most impossible.
I only been with four men that I thought real wasn’t an asshole I don’t like to stereo type any type. I find men who are swinger are bosses, argots and controlling. Or maybe the woman who are real involved with swinging husband don’t have the gut to stand up to their husband or they actual would prefer to be with anther female because their swinging hubby are real asshole and they think all swinger husband are shit heads.. What I see at swinger party of men I’m glad I married mine
But I’m starting to wonder if Murphy wants to swing or not. We have an ad on an adult site and he seems not very interesting in checking it. Murphy has quite a bit of back trouble and sometime I think sex scares him because he cramps up and this evening he said “swinging is risky behavior” I would say swinging is less risky then hire a prostitute or sneaking out be hind someone back. Swinger is on the up and up.
Sometime I like to check out the Unitarian church. I like Murphy to go with me but I don’t want to force it on him or blackmail him in going. I’m not even sure that I like the Unitarian. I did a spirituality quiz and I scored a 100% on being a Unitarian. I’m actual quite liberal in my politics.

I like to see my boys achieve things. Last summer my son Sawyer bought a Toyota pick up for $400 dollar and made it in to a mud bogger. He worked all summer and rebuilt it. The engine is better well toast he wants to put in a diesel engine.

Well maybe tomorrow I’ll get to post about the national debt if not their other times.

welfare

For a while I’ll be blogging about my 10 opinion. I want to step on few toes I know these blogs on my opinion won’t happen the next 10 blogs. There is life and I’ll be swayed away but when I blog on topic which has something to do with my 10 opinion I’ll began that paragraph with a link.

Our social program is posed to help people out. What I’ve seen and experience it real doesn’t help. I notice some people have the attuidte toward people using any type of government social programs or welfare. Let them pull them self up by their boot straps I’ll be the first to admit they needed improvement on how we handle our safety net so no one will be down and out or stuck depending on some social program all the time.
First work should always pay more then welfare. Every figure out all the befits on being on welfare: A grantee monthly check, medical, food stamps, and housing. In one willing to get up and go to work should make more then someone on welfare and it benefits.
Second people who tries to get off of welfare don’t need to be punished, they need to be given a bonus If you can prove that you are tying to get off of welfare, by bettering your self so that your taking steps that to get off welfare. I think every person who draws a welfare check should fill out a monthly questionnaire and tell what they did for the month of getting off of welfare. This statement would be reviewed by a social worker and depending on what they did to improve them self. They would receive a bonus such as extra food stamps, a gift card so they may buy some clothing, even a movie pass and etc. No cash benefits will be allowed on welfare bonus. If you are honestly making progress to getting off of welfare why be punished If you are caught misusing any part of the welfare program you should be cut back or even kicked off for a period or to many abuse of the welfare system you will not be drawing in benefits.
There should be a time limited and or the amount of bonus a person can receive over a 5 years period. What I would consider fair would be no more then 35 hours a week their vole enter time is worth $3.50. Types of things I think they should be doing to receive bonus is: Hospital work, soup kitchens, library, schools, parks, national forest, state forest, highway No private business should be allowed to take advantage of anyone on Welfare doing bonus or volenteer.
Third and Last phase of our welfare system is that they need to have coach or social worker who willing to teach them non welfare skills Like getting up and taking care of one home, looking for work, applying for jobs, taking care of one self, being motivate,
and etc. Their been people who been on welfare from one generation to anther.

I honestly believe these people who lives on welfare real don’t want to be there. Have we every draw any type of welfare assident? I have to honestly say yes. We got food stamps when our boys was little Murphy was working at a minimum wage job then. I use the food stamps to buy garden seeds, I grew a nice garden so we ate fresh veggies and I planted fruit trees and berries. We always tried to eat healthy and of course we had a treat here and there. The other part we got was medical for the boys. We never been much on running to the doctor for every sniffle we had. I felt I never abuse what we got from the taxpayers We never got any type of cash benefit. We never lived in squalor.

little steps towards a goal.

Yesterday Jim came out and visits. Murphy was so glad that we had company. I know I shouldn’t be ashamed of how our house looks. I feel inadequate that my home isn’t good enough.The two word I would use to explain my ideal home country and organized . Most of the time we keep our home picked up and clean. Sometime it gets a little cluttered.
Jim and Murphy smoked a bowl. I didn’t smoke any then. I honestly don’t mine Murphy smoking a little weed. I got a bottle of blackberry brandy a least he doesn’t smoke cigarettes. that’s plain nasty I tried a hit of this herb and I have to admit it was pretty good. I hardly indulge in the friendly herb.

Steve and I went out on the North Bench property to clean out the sheds out there. I was getting frustrate before I even arrived on the property.
I want to buy 3 totes to separate things by ceramics, Bart and Sawyer I went into the dollar store, in Bonners Ferry had one tote left and I wasn’t willing to pay what they wanted it for it. I’ll take a look at wal mart and see what they have.
First we went to the old generator shed and threw an old metal toolbox and some other trash in the back of the pick. Drove up and start to clean out the other shed. I found it was some what frustrating trying to sort out the larger shed I did get some trash token out of the larger shed which was a small gain. We took all of our trash to the dump.
Also today we took the last year firewood out of the old hay barn and separated it in to two piles. One went on the woodpile and the other went into our basement by the wood stove.
Murphy and I talked about how we want to do the shed. We more less deiced to use the old horse barn part into a personal shed part and I suggested that we should put shelves in. If you pile all your stuff in a pile and what every you need in that pile it will be in the far corner and ton of other stuff will be buried on it Murphy thought the shelves is a great ideal. And he suggested that we but some ceramic molds into the old hay barn.

smile it sure won't hurt you

I’m finishing the 10 things I like One day Zowie asked me why I was always smiling? This is an un happy per teen as far as I can see. I would guess he was picked on at school and now is acting out.
I ask Zowie why shouldn’t I smile? I’ll be the first to confess their been days that my life just plain sucks Everything in general my life been pretty good. So I’m going to have a smile on my face, so there!

zuummzummzummm...

I just start my on line class introduction to word and did my first quiz and got a 70% on the quiz and re did it and got an 80%. I think I’m going to like these on line class. I don’t feel like I’m squeeze for time. I seem lately I’m under stress and don’t relax. Last few days I’ve having anxiety attacks. I thought I was going crazy. My period start and my anxiety attacks been less severe.
If someone asks me why I’m having anxiety attacks? I don’t know and I wish I knew more what to do when they come about. I have laid flat on my back humming zuuummmzuuuummzzuuummm and breathing deeply. It seems to pass.

Anther thing I like to do and haven’t done for ages is seeing a play. I went to local play a year or so ago and I can’t even recall the play I know it was a musical. I took drama in my senior year of high school.
I’ve like to participates in the arts and or watching the arts being creative in any sense of the word usual is up my ally

my mind going to fast

My mind seems to be racing from point to point. I’m having trouble keeping focus today. I’m still feeling over whelm mental. honestly hearing my self think or I call them friendly sprits talking. But this is to much

Yesterday before I left work my client Callie said that she had an appointment with her P.S.R worker at 8 this morning and wonder if it would be ok to call me when she was done. I said “no problem” well it almost two here now and I haven’t heard from her yet. When she doesn’t call it seem like her sister Eris is involved. Once in a while Eris has seizer and they don’t know what will cause them. I sure hope she didn’t have anther seizer. Some time I think that Eris takes advantage of her sister, Callie. And Callie lets it happen
I am wondering if I’ll get my hours in for the week. I get 18 ¾ hours a week. To be quite honest Callie is on disability and Medicaid. She talked about being more independence She only real needs 12 hours a week that’s my opium is I’m amaze how Medicaid figure these hours out for these home care givers.

This morning the dog Butch and I went for a walk just short of a mile. We actual walked fairly slow pace. One thing about a dog they seem to be a true friend and never passes judgment or least we don’t know if they do. I’ve always enjoyed and liked Animals.
I also liked to garden both eatable plants and pretty flowers. This fall I planted the flowerbed below my front window this flower is is called “freebies Hodge pod flower bed” I didn’t grow a garden this year which I miss doing. Being out doors is something I find relaxing and getting into dirt it makes it all worth wile. so when I get my ceramic shop up and going I want to put in a veggie garden and more flowers.
Anyhow today I clean some in my yellow and purple flowerbed I dug up my two dahlias

walking I need to do more

When I exercise I feel better physical and mental. I seem to put it off . One of my favorite exercises is walking and Boundary County is such a pretty place to walk. The fall of 2004 I was walking 2 miles and got out of the habit. I make it to curves 3 times a week. I do one round plus 7. My eating habits needs to be curtail

Last few days I’ve been feeling like I’m going insane. Mental I feel like my world is coming a part I honest don’t know why I have these feelings.
I feel over whelm. Sure my life isn’t all peaches and cream it’s actual pretty darn good. I wonder if it something to do with hormone. I’ve been having a few hot flashes once in a great while but I’m still having monthly periods. My friend Quenelle mention about having anxiety attacks, during her pre menopause or menopause. I’m glad these attack comes and goes less then a week I honestly don’t know if I could handle more then a week. If I could run a way from my mind I would

Today I took my client Callie over to our local hospital clinic and she had a planter wart remove no big deal. I was looking threw a country living magazine Personal I like the country look. I like to decorate my home and yard this way. Cash and time seems to slow down progress.

I like to make goodies

I was going to go out on the North Bench to clean and organize the shed out there. I stop at my Sister in law Faith to see if she was interested in having my display cabinet. They bought and ole school which they are turning it in to a bed and breakfast. The lowest floor they want to make it in to a rest runt and a small gift shop. Anyhow I was willing to give them my display cabinet so they could use it for their gift shop. They all ready had one.

As I found out from my sister in law out pass the Indian reservation they’re a field of free potatoes The price is right What these farmers was doing growing a test field and they can’t sell them. So anyone can go out and pick them. I guess I propley got a 100 pounds of potatoes, in less then an hour.

I wish I knew what kind of potatoes these are. They’re real white with thin golden skins. I know they aren’t russet. Murphy my husband thought they might be Alaskan whites or gold. I know they’re Yukon gold’s and these aren’t them.Boy they was excellent with dinner tonight, we also had chicken fried steak and corn. Later for Sunday desert we will have root beer floats

I like to cook and bake since I went to work I don’t get much time into any type of cooking or baking. Cooking I enjoy very much. I would like to add a small line of treats that I can take to place that I sell my ceramics.

Ceramic, I know I won't be making millions a year.

I get tired of people telling me that I’m foolish wanting to go into the ceramics againThey say stuff like “your not going to make a lot of money”. What do they think that I’m making a bundle now? I make $7.90 an hour and only work 18 3/4 hours a week. I know I can make the same what I do and I won’t have the expense of gas to work. So little by little I’m getting back into ceramics by ether buying supplies or organizing things toward the business.

Yesterday I went out and did a little work, not much on our shed out on the North Bench. Bart and his friend Mike was deer hunting and I didn’t want to make to much noise. So I went up to the three-mile café had a root beer and read the newspaper. Then I stopped in and visit my mother in law Betty.
By then it was getting dark and your not allowed to hunt any how fish and game was all over the county

What I want to is reorganize the shed out on bench so I can a least haul out ashtrays and hollow handle mugs Not big sellers.

I was looking threw jobs in my area . I honestly don’t know if this link will work sometime it does and doesn’t.
The average wage for this area is $7.50 an hour. They’re a wildness counselor that pays $10.85. I get kick out of the listing on jobs at a penny. The pennies ones are ether they pay so little and thinks their very important.Well you get what you pay for. Some of these jobs also will pay depending on experience.

I’ve been reminded about the Asian market. This does worry me I’ve became a custom to an Idaho middle class life style, not a New York City one.

I’ll be offering quality piece at a reasonable prices

Wouldn’t you rather work from home even at basically the same wages?

home sweet home

Don’t get me wrong that I love my client. Callie is respectful to me, easy to work for and easy to please. I rather do # 8 .But I have to admit I’m getting burned out on my job. I rather stay home I miss decorating for the holidays all of them. I don’t have support the family, with my money. Murphy does it. My money goes into the extras. I do put some of my money toward the support of the family. I think everyone who in a family needs to contrive to needs of a family unit. I think helping out doing chores is also contriving to the family unit
I’m a homebody and I rather work form home. I have been slowly getting my ceramic business back. Last week I order some more supplies from creative crafts I also been doing a price list for retail sells. It been somewhat giving me a undue stress. I decide every time gas changes by .50¢ my price will also change. So right now I’m doing prices if as gas was between $2.50 and $ 3.00 or between $3.00 and $3.50. Where we get our gas mostly at here is at $2.95 and some place lowered their price yesterday.
I rather stay home and do project around the home, it been slow going getting my ceramic shop up. I have made progress toward my goal of having a ceramic shop.

My Family

Number 9 of the 10 things I like . I honestly love my family. I can listed a bunch of their faults but all in all their pretty good
Majority of the time I’m glad the way my life turn out. Sure I could tell you what’s wrong with my life, but all in all I’ve been happy with my life. Murphy and I got two pretty neat boys.
They are hard working, honest, and respectful, willing to help and not scared to take a stand on what they thing is right. We have our days with our teenagers, sometime they drive me nuts
I know what I’d like them to do once they leave home, but it actual happening is anther story. I would like them to go to college. It doesn’t matter a vocational training, a bachelor or even masters. I just want them to grow up to be happy well-adjusted adults I would say Murphy and I’ve done a pretty good job all in all. I don’t mine saying we deserve a pat on the back
My family is very special to me

Before I went to work I weight and measured at Curves. In all honestly my monthly results was crap . I know how to eat right and exercise. I came home and ate a bunch of junk food basically non-stop. Partly I didn’t have much for lunch and I was pretty darn hungry. Once I took bite of that cookie it was pretty well non-stop until dinner. I ate a large serving of salad and plenty of pork cutlets and fried rice. Crouse I had a glass of milk. What can I say I enjoy food?

My love , is special to me

I’m finish blogging about the 10 things I don’t like. Now I’ll be blogging about the 10 things I like. I’ll also blogg about other things in my life.

Majority of the time I get along with my hubby Murphy. We been married 17 years and live together 5 years before that and I still in love him, sure he not perfected. Who is! I got faults too and plenty of them.We will set on the davenport and watch TV hold hands and cuddle.
I very much enjoy doing things with Murphy and being around him. 95% of the time I’m glad I married and have a life with Murphy. Nothing is a 100% in this world.

I went and notice my awful grammar on my blog from yesterday. I tried to edit it and reposted it and nothing changed. So I guess I need to be more aware of what I’m doing.

fibbing is in style, not in my book

People who can’t tell the truth just errrk me to no endout of the 10 things I don’t like lying takes the cake.
My mother cousin Fay and Allen lie quite a bit to be a big shot. One day she told that her daughter in law was selling her grandkids on street of Portland and it was all over the news. If you said you made $20,000 as a secretary she makes about $40,000. Or she will just come up and tell you that she got this important job for big corporation and making $80,000 a year. Her brother does the same thing. When Allen sister Fay passed away he stop me and ask if the Minster could stay at my house. Then he said “you know Pastor Madison” I said “I don’t know him personaly is he related to Madison around here” He said “yes” I told him “it wouldn’t be any trouble for pastor to stay with us” I went over to my Aunt Tayte to ask about Pastor Madison well to find out that it was local Pastor and he lived in area for a long time. Allen had to lie to be a big shot
Then their are lairs that think it cute to lie. My husband x wife, and other people I know. An example would be they would say “ gas at the shell station is $3.40 and they know darn well it at $2.95” and you’ll say "I was just their and I just got gas at $2.95 a gallon." They just shrug their shoulder and giggle thinking their cute for getting caught in a lie. These people piss me off to no end
I’ve been told if I weren’t so honest I would have more friends. No I don’t go around telling lies or just walking up to some one and telling them my honest opioun either. I know when and how to mind my own business.
The 3rd type of lair is someone who can’t deal with reality or don’t have any backbone to face the truth. When I ask my brother in law Earl if Ulanda know if we were swinger of course his voice went up 10 octaves and he said “I don’t recall”
I can partly understand why Earl would lie. Earl got stoned and told his brother Murphy that Ulanda know we are swing and noticed that he slipped and said "we just know the same people" After that they never came over to our house because Ulanda don't aprove of usIf his wife every knew that Earl slipped and told he couldn't handle the rath of his wife Tadita. I don't believe that Earl would lie to be a big shot or to be cute. I think he lied because he got no backbone.
One time his Tadita said we shouldn’t be so honest because it hurt Earl feelings.
One time I was at curves and one lady was telling about this weight lost program threw a church and the reason it was good because you make a promise to god about loosing weight. She said people will lie except when they are in a church, because God there. I personally think this is bunch of crap. I figure if your going to lie god knows your doing it if you’re inside of a church or 100 miles from one.
Sure I’ve lie but I usual tell the truth and that way you most of the time you got control of situation or you can face reality head on.
One reason I’m attracted to Murphy that he honest.

embarrassment it got be pretty bad.

I went on line to look for an embarrassment quiz, no luck. Personally I don’t get embarrassed easily but when I do I feel like dieing or beating the shit out of the person who embarrassed meMurphy and I been together 22 years and he only embarrassed me twice. One of them I don’t agree how he handle the situation but I understand why he was pissed. The other I don’t complete understands. Time heals all wounds. I don’t hold grudgesSomeone might embarrass me or tick me off. I’ll set a length of time of how long I’ll be pissed off at someone or something.Once my husband behavior embarrassed me at the 3 mile store and I wouldn’t go their with or without him. We would ask me and I’d tell him. “Your behavior at the 3 mile was so embarrassing to me and their no way I’ll go into the 3 mile till December”I stuck to my principles.
My grandmother Olive held grudges for any little thing. Back in 1921 when she was pregnant with the twins. She asked someone to get her a bucket of water and they didn’t jump right up and did it. Every since that she spoke of her mother in law as “The Bitch” She held this grudge until she died at age of 92. I new she had some kind of problem with her sister in law, Minnie she was known as the “Slut”.
I don’t get embarrass by people who are different by their dress, looks, their view of the world, being a butt of a joke and behavior would have to be out landish to embarrass me.

Well milk went up .10¢ a gallon for 2% milk. I’m now paying $2.88 a gallon. I went to town to do some shopping. I put in $30.00 dollar in my gas tank and that bought a little over 10 gallons of gas.
Tonight for dinner I made beef stroganoff. I got the wrong type of olives I thought I was getting the slice instead I bought the chopped ones. For veggies we ate a mixture. Dinner came out ok. Little later on we’ll have some ice cream.
Laundry seems to be a never-ending chore. I did two loads and hung them out to dry and they didn’t get all the way dry. I figure it will take 30 minute to finish drying the load I hung outside. I wash and dry two loads of jeans. I like to wash one more load of clothing and dry, put them away too. Plus pick up the house tomorrow I go to work.

I order some ceramic supplies. I get thrilled when I make progress toward opening my ceramic shop once again. once my order arrives I will be able to start to do non food or non liquid items. I won’t be buying much or I should say very little till the ceramics until next spring.
Hopeful I can maintain my home and work till Saturday or Sunday. So I can go out on the North Bench and do some cleaning of the shed out there. I want to put my Hollow handle mugs and ashtrays in the shed on the bench. I know I’ll take some more out their put I’ll need to real go threw them.

Here couple of picture of Bart Canoe trip with his Boy Scout troop last August down the Kootenai river. Bart is the one in blue baseball cap.

glad I flunked the bitch test

A short time ago I tried to make a link to a bitch test.. Everyone I talk to wouldn’t describe me as a bitch. I thought I would be bitch because I’m not afraid to stand up for my self. My husband said a real bitch would stab someone in back and get off on other people misfortune.
Congratulations, you had a low score on the bitch test and appear to be a decent person! You're not necessarily verging on sainthood, but we can safely assume that you have a basic respect for others and an acceptable sense of decorum. You try your best to maintain a certain level of etiquette, and control yourself even when tempted to stab someone in the back or settle a few scores. You are able to calm yourself down and think rationally rather than giving into the first animalistic urge to "attack". Sure, you may slip up from time to time, but you're only human! So wear those angel wings with pride - the world needs more civilized folk like you.
Actual this is pretty true to me

anther thing off of my list of the 10 things I don’t like is People who don’t plan just do everything at the spur. My father in law was real good at this.
One time he called us up during dinner and wanted his son Murphy to hang trusses. My husband said he was eating dinner and could come over in an hour to help. My father in law said, “If you can’t come right now, just fuck in forget it” Murphy said “fine, I’ll fuck in forget”
One day my father in law wife was baking a pie and he want to go some were right then and now. She said the pie would be done in 20 minute. Well he called her a bitch and because things wasn’t happening right then. Personal I would took the pie out of the oven and threw it at him.
I grew up were things was plan out. I understand things in life don’t go as plan and you need some flexibility. People who don’t plan they seem to be going in circles.We try to have some kind a of plan, it may not be down to the second

This afternoon we stop at my Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary. My Aunt asks Murphy could get them any trees from the nursery were he worked at and he could. So we stop by to see were they wanted the trees at. So we took a tour of their new home and I got an ideal from her kitchen that I could do in mine. (this is a picture of my uncle and his 3rd child)

Then we went up and visit our friend Quenelle and Earl. We had some of their homemade elderberry wine and it was very good. Each year they make it, just gets better. I tried their rhubarb wine and it was to dry for me. I made a funny face and I didn’t mean to. Quenelle has some gorgeous rock flower gardens and she gave me a lot of plants.
The flower bed under our front window I want to plant all sort of freebies and it’s called Hodgepodge flower bed This is a picture of our friends Quenelle and Earl (I use fake names the only time I use real name is when the person come deceased) Let see how smart you who reads my blogger see if you can find the praying mantis in the greenery. Quenelle had one landed on her as we went around digging plants. We let it go in some plants by their home.

my unkept home!

5 and 4 I’ve been lacking in keeping my home clean. I wouldn’t like someone coming over at this time. I’d be so embarrass. Having a messy place cause a lot of loosing items. At this time my home is somewhat in a shamble. One of my favorite saying is Waste not want notwhen you get so clutter you can’t find what your looking for and you know darn well you have more then one of them. being messy cause waste, we don’t live in scrawled conditions

Today I complete my office computer classes. The last section was on customer service and I thought it was a waste of time. I learn a lot which could benefit my ceramic business
I liked the classes now I’m sign up to take an on line crouse “advance word” threw N.I.C I’m starting to look forward more to opening a ceramic shop.

being accountable

First let me vent the situation with Sawyer and Murphy, Sawyer total pissed me off. We were working at the Kootenai river inn as dishwasher. Yesterday a little after 5 his boss called me and asks for Sawyer and he wasn’t at work. I had no ideal were he was at after a phone call to his girl friend house Liana and their he was. I told him he wasn’t responsible he need to be accountable for his action and he needed to get hold of his boss. He did. He wasn’t been doing all that great in school. In my opinion his priority is all-wrong. He needs to learn to have some balance in his life and improve on responsibly and accountable.. So for while I’ll be cutting back on Sawyer hours on his social life, till he proves me that he is responsible again.
Murphy looks at Sawyer as quitter I some what a agree with him. Sawyer thought Liana was more important. Confession time I’m glad that Sawyer quite the Kootani river inn because his grades was slipping. Sawyer works hard catches on fast. He sits a goal work towards it and attains his goal then he quits or he finds the job boring he quits.
I didn’t approve of Murphy handling of when Sawyer quit his job. Talk down to him and called him a “Quitter” Murphy does have somewhat a negative view of the world. Most of the time he thinks people are up to no good. I’ll say I know some other people who are lot more negative then Murphy. I find being around people who negative majority of the time, tiring. My father hardly said anything-positive things about me. I was address as juviee, worthless and other names. He would go around and bad mouth me to other me members of the family. I’m surprise that any of them talks to me or treats me with respected. I have to admit when he was laying in his casket I felt relieve that I didn’t have to hear him put me down again. Maybe I worry too much about there self esteem.how do correct your child when he does something wrong? And not tear up their self-esteemBelieve me Murphy negative doesn’t come close to my father compare the two. Murphy got a real Polly Anne attitude. If my father got paid every time he put me down or bitch about something we would be rich beyond believe.
Here is my other grip about life. Most female likes to shop I personal find it boring, stressful and work my mother was never in to shopping not because of lack of funds. She would rather save money instead of spend it. I honestly think she was afraid of be poor again. Confession time When it come to shopping I rather go to second hand store, yard sale and or a rummage sell.
One day I was walking and house in the neighborhood had a scarecrow with a pumpkin head. He have a friendly greeting expression on his face to me he saying “ Happy Halloween”

No backbone lacking here.

One thing my parents taught me how to have a backbone and I’m sure glad they did. We tried to in still this on our boys and last week at the high school that our boys attend. I went t around to all of Sawyer classes and one of his classes called Advisory I was told that my son had a lot of self worth.
A trite I don’t admire is someone who can’t stand for his or her own principle. Someone who afraid to be political incorrect. I would rather have someone say what’s on their mind and not to tell me what I want to hear.
Both Murphy and I got plenty of backbone. I thought I was some kind of http://www.fuali.com/test.aspx?id=dd4c0ca6-a554-4cbe-b0e7-bc17462a412e>bitch because I got a back bone.
I have been kind of busy these few days. Bart is selling Boy Scout popcorn. It expensive and I’m actual embarrass to ask people to buy itSawyer is working 3 nights at the kootenai river inn. Their 3 drivers in our family and we are down to 2 rigs. In about 45 minutes I’ll drive about 7 miles and pick him up.
Sawyer got back with his girl friend Liana. Does he got a lot to learn about life. I guess that’s all part of dating. I hope I got threw to him about not getting some girl pregnant. I told both of my boys nothing wrong about having a family but they’re a big responsibility and before you start have an education and live on your own. If you can’t take care of your self, taking care and making decision with anther person won’t be as easy.
Well I’m about ready to order some supplies for my ceramic business. I then will have all my supplies bought so I can start painting basic non water or food items. re starting a business been a slow processes. Even sometime I feel it may never happen. I know I made progress. I know I need to get rid of my Ashtray and hollow mugs molds. They just don’t sell. Their other molds I’ll need to go threw and get rid of, these molds aren’t sellers when they are cast. My goal is to be ready for the Oden show by Sandpoint in mid September, which I need to start to cast ceramic by mid spring of 06.
Last few time I tried to post a picture with my blogger for some unknown reason I can’t get a picture. So tonight I’m going to give it a try and post a picture of our Northwood maple.

Maple syrup from a Northwood

Yesterday Murphy brought two trees from the nursery where he works at. One was a Northwood maple and the other one was hazel nut I ask Murphy when we will get nuts to eat from the filbert or hazelnut tree. He said they are usual ripe in the fall time. We won’t real get a crop for a couple of years.

I finely got our home in order it may not be spotless. If someone came over to visit I wouldn’t be embarrass. I did four loads of laundry today and still more to do.

I just got paid and I was figuring out where my paycheck needs to go. I worked 37.50 hours the last two weeks. So my money will be spent on the following.
· Ceramics $18.00
· Curves $31.00
· Checks $30.00
· Gas $60.00
· Oh No I forgot $35.00
· My fun money $35.00
· Case lot sale $60.00
My paycheck was $272.00 and over 20% will go to gas so I can make it to work. Gas here for regular is $2.95 and I heard before Monday it will go up again. Thank heaven my hubby got a studier and larger income. He covers all the bills that keep a roof over our head and food on the table

Confession time I’m so lucky my hubby helps me with the house. He cleaning both of the bathroom today

Let not beat around the bushes. Gossip that one person my gain status or look better in someone eles eyes is a form of backstabbing.
This has cause great problem between Murphy’s family and his brother Earl’s family, gossiping that is. When
Ulanda came to Bonners Ferry she and her daughter would sit around and gossip and bad mouth people so they would look like their shit didn’t stink. Murphy believes that Tadita told her mother that we were swinger.So Tadita would cover up her faults and gain brownie points with her mother by running us down. This is my theory Ulanda was bad mouthing Murphy and maybe me too. Tadita to make her self look better in front of her mother slip at the mouth and said “Murphy and Peppylady are swinger and we real don’t have anything to do with them” The thing is Tadita and Earl or swinger too. Confession time I can understand some one slipping and saying something. But nasty gossip to make your self look better is so wrong. gossip caused trouble with Earl and his first wife. Murphy and Earl youngest brother 1st wife would gossip about other people to make her self look better. Confession time It real don't how Ulanda found out we was swinger. I know Earl got stone and told his brother Murphy "Ulanda knows we are swinger but we told her that we just know the same people". Sometime later I asked Earl if he told Ulanda if we were swinger and he said no. Then I ask if Ulanda knew we were swinger then his voice went up 10 octive and he sais I don't recall. "Bull shit" some how she found out. Even before the picture (read can Dr Phill help us in my blogg) I sometime would like to regain some type of friendship with Earl and Tadita. Anyhow I find backstabbing gossip discusting and those who do it. I would like to know how Ulanda real found out we were swinger and I know she knew before the picture
