June Reading

For the month of June tarot cards laid out in these position

Seven of wands is in the North position “courage” I need to define courage in my own self.

Judgement is in the East position “reckoning” to figure position in many parts of life.

Hermint is in the South position “introspection” examination of ones own thought and feelings.

King of pentacles is in the West position “pragmatism” Learn more why and how I believe and do

Statement time…The king of pentacles keep showing up in my reading

An over view of last months cards in the North position it was “Do not repress emotions” I’ve always been honest about my feeling but I notice that sometime I do not like how one may respond to my feelings. But when it comes to an opinion of mine if someone may disagree with my opinion or see it differently that doesn’t bother Me.

In the East Position it was ““Let go of ego”
“Learn to let chaos work for you”. I’m one who likes my ducks in a roll and I notice if they’re too much in a roll and if one may get out of line I seem to fall apart. I’m starting to look at how far my duck may be out of order and it ok to be out of order.

In the South Position it was “get ready for a challenge” There been twice I thought Murphy and I took on a challenge. Now with “Tree R Us” and once before with W.I sawmill when he got hurt and we couldn’t get his workman comp and we won the suit. I remember them saying “we will starve you out before we give you any money” and they didn’t starve us out.
But I use to look at life more adventure then I do now and feeling… time..I was more happier then I am now.

In the west position it was ““Understand your fears”
“Do not become a martyr” I know what I’m afraid but sometime it harder to understand why one my be afraid of something.
On being a martyr I don’t believe it never been my style. I’m one who has back bone will stand steadfast on something but as I got older I learn to listen and take more consideration on others feeling an opinion.

Flowerbed Report 3 or 4

Hodgepodge flowerbed is showing a few colors my violet, bleeding heart, and white petunia all open.
I threw a mixture of flower seeds that I got from different source but all free. Last year I planted a steedalah and I keep weeding it seeding out. Don’t want them to get out of control.

Yellow and purple flowerbed is somewhat out of control. A lot of weeds and spit bug leaving it slobber on my phlox.
Dark purple tulips are pretty well done.

Patriotic flowerbed I dug up some star of Bethlehem out of purple and yellow flowerbed, which don’t belong there and move it in to the patriotic flowerbed. Then also took steedalah seedling out of my hodgepodge flowerbed and move it in my patriotic flowerbed.
Lot of seed coming up but knowing the different between flowers and weeds are hard to tell at this point.

We do have plenty of trees and this is a tertian maple, which smells like honey and the bees, and humming birds like.

It's Only Temporary

I like to share the story of my kinfolk that first came to this country.
William Witherell (also Wetherell, Wetherel, Witherly, Wetherly, Witherill)
Born in England, about 1627? He came to New England as a Cabin Boy of Capt. William Dunn’s ship, and was in Taunton, Massachusetts by 1643 married (about 1650 in Taunton) Dorothy_________.
He became a freeman in 1658, a constable in 1662, and was often selectman. He built the first house (1669) in what be come Norton Massachusetts , on the east side of Winniconnet Pond, near the outlet. He was wounded in the Narraganset Swamp Fight which is part of the King Phillip war (French and Indian War) in 1675 and died about September. 1691. His will was dated August 15, 1691, and was probated Nov 18 following.

There was other Witherell here before William. The first Witherell came on ship Hercules right after the Mayflower but I’m not sure how William Witherell is related to the ones that came before him.
The other ones seem to be more of means, educational, and higher class of people.

I don’t fly the United States flag every holiday but the ones I feel are more to a patriotic meaning.
As far as I know I have had some relative that serve in the arm forces.
One comes to mind is my Uncle Udo who serve in World War I and he was an interrupter for the United States Army who spoke German and English so well he convince a bunch of German Solider to surrender.
I’ll find out about my Uncle Udo and how he captures those German and post it.

The other day I got a wish book called Lakeside Collection and they have quite a few things I think are pretty.
But nothing practical but oh well but sometime we all need not to be practical.
I’m keeping the catalog and maybe a little later I’ll get me a few things out of it.

Yesterday the 27th we got our first Summer Storm. It rained a good inch in the last 24 hours and the wind twist and bowed the tree branches. No trees were blown over. I heard plenty of thunder and few flashes of lighting.
The cloud formation was out standing

Yesterday Murphy and I did some planting of 5 tomatoes plants and 2 poinsettias plants in were the lilac used to be.
I know I live to far North for poinsettias to grow outdoors but the pot the was in it made the root bound and I’m planning to dig them up this fall and put them in a large pot.
Hopeful I don’t forget.
This is area we would like to put in roses and rhodes but the other half of the flower bed needs to be worked and worked up.
But for now it will serve a place for some tomatoes and poinsettias.

Don't Judge a Book By it Cover

I’ve mention honesty is something that is very important to me. I figure it’s my blog and I’ll blog what every I feel or need to.
I may not be ready to blog about something. But I won’t lie about anything.

the way I read my blogs might be a little strange but it stills my blog and they’re no reading censorship in bloggerville.
During the week I read from my coffee pal list on even days I read my even numbers of blogs and on odds days I read my odd number of blogs.
So during the week every other day I read your blogs.
Then on the weekends I divide my list in half on Saturday I read the top half then on Sunday I read the buttom half of my coffee pals.
Also on Saturday I take part in Photo Hunt and I pick a certain letter of the alphabet and look at all those photos.
The 27th I picked the letter “G” and next Saturday will be “H” and if you have an “H” in part of your blog name I’ll be stopping over.
But there are a few of my regular coffee pals who does the photo hunt and I always stop in and visit.
And I have no set pattern on how I discover new blogs.

Growing up in a working class family and real didn’t go much to high-flaunted events in my life.
So I’m real limited on which wines to drink with what and when. I’m not total stupid on the subject of wines I know you drink red wines with dark meat such as beef and you drink white wines with chicken.
When I pick up a wine in a store I judge a wine by it’s label because I’m clueless what cabernet sauvignon, shiroz, and unwooded chardonnay means.
But the other day I bought a bottle of smoking loon and both Murphy and I enjoyed this wine.
Honest time…I don’t care for soda pop wine or super dry wine
I believe that a winery called Don Andson Not knowing which wine is which and I found this site called wine intro
I sure do judge my wine by its labels

COLORFUL

Theme: COLORFUL/ Become a Photo Hunter/ View Blogroll




I had quite a few thoughts to put on this.
I remember my mom using white sheets on the bed and then colored sheets came out. Isn’t white a color?
When I was young and foolish and there days I’m a fool still.
I recall doing acid and walking and in woods and all the colors was so intense and bright.
Ok don’t worry I didn’t do that much acid that I fried my brain and I did acid in accident times.
I got wild a wild hair and want my toenails the color purple so I painted them.

Snoozing Gnome Needs New Home

Some time ago. Not ancient history either that I was going to give a finish piece of ceramics away.
I haven’t yet got the chance to start to pour greenware.
One day I was digging thru some boxes way up on top of my mold shelves and spotted this medium size snoozing gnome so I decided to do it up.
The only thing on the bottom it has our names crave in it and my father in law name in it and he has passed away for sometime now.

If you would like to win this sleeping gnome leaves a comment and passes the word. I’ll be drawing a name on Sunday the 3rd of June in the afternoon.
Then shortly after I’ll contact the winner by e-mail so I can get a mailing address to send the sleeping gnome to.
This is open to all even international

The Rock Fight

I’m one who thinks dreams and nightmare have a message. I don’t believe that dreams can predict the future events.

For some reason Murphy was having an affair with this dish water blond women and I asked him “why” he was having an affair and he told me about the “rocks” and here the kicker I’m not sure what rocks had to do with his affair.
He told me he would rather have me tell him a lie then tell him the truth.
I said angrily “If you can’t handle the truth your week man”

That’s it about the dream. So I went over to dream moods and punch in some of the keywords. But they didn’t have anything on honesty and lying.
But I looked up some keywords in the dream dictionary and all though I may not understand the complete message.
I had great ideal how I want my ducks in a roll but things don’t always goes as plan and I had to put my ducks in a different roll.

So here are my keywords to my dream.

Rocks
To see rocks in your dream, signifies permanence and stability as expressed in the familiar phrase "as solid as a rock". It may also indicate that you are making a commitment to a relationship. Or you may be contemplating some changes in your life that will lay the groundwork for a more solid foundation. On the other hand rocks may also symbolize stubbornness, disharmony and unhappiness.
To dream that you are climbing a steep rock signifies struggles, obstacles, and disappointments.

Blond
To see a blond person in your dream, suggests that you need to enjoy life and live it up. Be a little glamorous.
To dream that you dye your hair blond indicates that you literally need to lighten up and quit being so serious all the time. Try to be more upbeat.

Sex
To dream about sex, refers to the psychological completion and the integration of contrasting aspects of the Self. You need to be more receptive and incorporate aspects of your dream sex partner into your own character. Alternatively and a more direct interpretation of the dream, may be your libido's way of telling you that it's been too long since you have had sex. It may indicate repressed sexual desires and your needs for physical and emotional love.
To dream about sex with someone other than your spouse or significant other, suggests dissatisfaction with the physical side of your relationship. On the other hand, it may be harmless fantasy. In such situations, you may find that you are less inhibited sexually and you can even bring that sense of adventure to your existing relationship.
To dream that you are having sex with an ex or someone who is not your current mate denotes your reservations about embarking in a new relationship or situation. You may feel nervous about exposing yourself or currently feel a resurgence of those old emotions and feelings that you felt back when you and your ex were together. Believe it or not, it is not uncommon for people approaching their wedding to experience especially erotic adventures with partners other than their intended spouses. This may be due to the intensity of your sexual passion with your fianc�. It also relates to the new roles that you will be taking on and the uncertainty that that may bring.
If you are heterosexual and you dream that you are having sex with someone of the same sex, signifies not necessarily homosexual desire, but an expression of greater self-love and acceptance. You need to be in better touch of your feminine or masculine side.
To dream that you are the opposite sex, suggests that you exhibit or need to incorporate those qualities of the opposite sex. Ask yourself, how do you feel being a man or a woman? In what ways can you incorporate those feelings into your waking life.
Husband
To see your husband in your dream signifies your relationship with your husband and the unconscious feelings you have towards him.
To dream that you have a husband (but you do not in your waking life), symbolizes some sort of partnership and/or commitment. Often, it is also representative of the qualities of your father in which you projected onto this figure or the masculine side of your own personality.
Fighting
To dream that you participate in a fight indicates inner turmoil. Some aspect of you is in conflict with another aspect of yourself. Perhaps an unresolved or unacknowledged part is fighting for its right to be heard. It may also parallel a fight or struggle that you are going through in your waking life.
To see others fighting in your dream, suggests that you are unwilling to acknowledge your own problems and turmoil. You are not taking any responsibility or initiative in trying to resolve issues in your waking life.
To dream that you are fighting to the death indicates that you are unwilling to acknowledge a waking conflict or your own inner turmoil. You are unwilling and refusing to change your old attitudes and habits.
Adultery
To dream that you commit adultery or have an affair, is an expression of sexual urges or self-betrayal from your subconscious. It also indicates that you will be entangled in a situation that is not in your best interest, perhaps even illegal.
To dream that your mate, spouse, or significant other is cheating on you, indicates your fears of being abandoned. You may feel some lack of attention in the relationship. Alternatively, you may feel that you are not measuring up to the expectations of others.
To dream that you are committing adultery with your spouse's friend, denotes that you are feeling neglected by your spouse
Argument
To dream that you are arguing, suggests that you are trying to resolve some internal conflict or some unsettled issue in your waking life. Consider the symbolism of whom you are arguing with and what you are arguing about. How does he or she reflect some person or soma aspect of yourself in your waking life?
Weak
To dream that you are weak, refers to your feelings of inadequacy. You need to be more firm and forceful.� Stand up for yourself.
Man
To see a man in your dream, denotes the masculine aspect of yourself - the side that is assertive, rational, aggressive, and/or competitive. If the man is known to you, then the dream may reflect you feelings and concerns you have about him.
If you are a woman and dream that you are in the arms of a man, suggests that you are accepting and welcoming your stronger assertive personality . It may also highlight your desires to be in a relationship and your image of the ideal man.
To see an old man in your dream, represents wisdom or forgiveness.
Talking
To dream that you are talking does not have any significance unless it is unusual or bizarre. Consider also if what you say evoke strong feelings or behavioral reactions. The dream may simply be highlighting your need improve your communication skills or learn to express yourself more clearly.

Go Far Far Away

I have mention that I felt like a ping pong ball being bat about in life. I now feel like I got batted off the table and am waiting for someone to pick me up.
In simpler term I was having anxiety attacks and now I’m suffering from depression

I’m a person who likes there ducks all in roll although it doesn’t have to prefect but when there scatter all over I feel I have no direction in my life and this is how I’m feeling.

As you I said before I was going to leave my job in June but Murphy got fired from Tree R Us and I personal I’m glad he got fired and he didn’t quite it very plain to see that he got fired for reporting racism at the work place and Mike didn’t want to or didn’t know what to do about Edan calling people Nigger.
The way Tree R Us handle racism is to fire the person who is being called names.
Enough on this

Murphy got hired up at Cold Hardy Tree Nursery and the field he working at is between Copeland and Porthill.
Which is quite away more to drive then he did in the past.
Not sure how long this job will last one time we are thinking it may come to a close end of May and the next moment that they talk about project that they may keep him on. My hubby has over 15 years working with trees.

I still want to go into ceramics I was planning to pour slip in the morning on these days. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then do some lighter chores around the home front.
Then on Tuesday do my thru cleaning and no ceramics. I thought of doing a small pouring of slip on Thursday and focus more toward other things that needs to be taken care of.
So at this point I’m not sure what is going on and it’s giving me anxiety. I’m trying to figure out some way of getting my ducks back in roll and I figure for while I may pour on Thursday and Saturday.
Honest time…I need a hydrometer So I can measure my specify gravity

Win Some Lose Some

Today my friend Quenelle and I went to the gardenia center The last service her and I went with I hardly agreed on anything that the speaker was speaking on and today speaker I agreed more with then not.
I haven’t yet agree with any of the speakers 100%
Today Speaker also makes Spiritual Focus items.

It won’t be until June 10th till we can go and attend Sunday Service and I’m going to be a greeter and give everyone hugs.
Quenelle will be doing inspiration on Spiritulism and she have participated in a very small number of séance which I don’t feel comfort in doing or I lack knowledge in it.
Statement time..Becareful what you wish for This also includes what one does magik, prayer and what one may call what spirit in.
I decided someday I’m going to do inspirational on “free will” but I know what it means to me but to put it in a way that is presentable.

After the service I need to buy a few items. My shoes were pretty well blown out and I must spend plenty of time in wal mart looking for a pair of shoes that was going to fit. As I was about to give up behold down on the bottom shelf a pair that fit me.
Then across the tennis shoes there was flip-flops and I haven’t wore flip-flops sense I was a little girl.
Yesterday I was looking at photo hunt and the theme was cooking and I found some new recipes I want to try and there was this soup that called for tamarind and I couldn’t find it.
On the way home my friend Quenelle want to stop at a green house on the highway. I wasn’t going to buy anything and I left my money out in the car so I wouldn’t get carried away.
There this wonderful tomatoes called Kootenai and they do wonderful in my area and I haven’t seen them for ages.

I went into B.T.C to buy some food and I was craving a squash of some kind and they want almost two bucks a pound and I didn’t want to pay that price for it. I then checked the frozen foods and nothing.
So I went over to the can area and ended up buying can yams

COOKING/COOKED

Theme: COOKING/COOKED/ Become a Photo Hunter/ View Blogroll



I wish I had more time to be at home and make some homemade meals. Confession time…I miss staying at home and making goodies and since I went to work I tend to buy more convenient foods.
But part of the problem is that I lack the strength of character to change my daily habits. Yes I know there slowly coming around.
There also seems now to be so many converses on what to eat and how. When I grew up for dinner there was meat of some type, a vegetable, and most of the time potatoes. If anyone used the term “yuk” at the dinner table it meant no desert and if it was to nasty of a “yuk” your evening came to close early.
Most of the time my mom made the great homemade desert.
Most of the time breakfast was pretty simple around when I was growing up it was a bowl of cereal and fruit. My dad wasn’t a breakfast eater.
I once remember my mom went somewhere and left my dad in charge of the home. She wrote out instructions on how to cook a beef roast and he decided to do it his way.
He want to brown the roast and he turn up the oven and sat down and read the news paper and forgot it and till smoke came rolling out the oven.
Plus he didn’t watch me and I got into things and when my mom got home she was bent out of shape and chew out my dad.
So from then on my dad cooking was basically cornflakes and milk

Don't Shoot the Messenger

(2004) Four years ago Edan was hired full time. The previous ground crew boss John Doe pinned with Edan. John Doe had the most seniority at that time at Tree R Us. The first year Edan rarely made a racist remark. John Doe was in charge of everyone.

John Doe retired from the dig crew that spring. I (Murphy) took over from John Doe as dig crew boss. Tony was the ultimate boss.

That fall the dig started without John Doe. Edan called me a nigger in front of the whole crew. I said “Yea I’m proud of my African American heritage. I have a huge dick. Would you like to come over and take a look at it?”
Ron and Luke laughed so hard I thought they were going to pass out. Edan has made racist remarks since.


(2005) The next spring everything went very good, although Edan kept up the racist remarks.

One time that stands out during the dig was Edan saying “I only respect white guys with money”


(2006) That spring I (Murphy) gave Edan a ride to work. I(Murphy) stopped at a gas station every day I (Murphy) bought breakfast and coffee. I (Murphy) went to the bathroom. Edan never went to that one.
After 15 minutes we went to work and started to make baskets a ½ hour early.
While Mike was their Edan helped as soon as Mike was gone. Edan walked past the Porta Potty and went out to an old outhouse near the woods, so he wouldn’t have to share toilets with white guys.

He wouldn’t let out clothes touch his in the pickup, and routinely through our clothes on the floor and stepped on them.
Tony wouldn’t let me know when we were going to change basket types, as he had in the past.
He said I needed to ask before he did it-which amounted to begging. Twice he watched me make and load the wrong baskets. When I asked, he replied “you never asked.”

During that dig I got sick, and went to the doctor missing part of the day. Soon after that Mike started paying $15.00 per hour for any overtime. Mike said it was optional. I was still sick, but I worked my 9-hour day-no overtime.
Mike paid a crew $15.00 an hour to dig that Sunday (still optional) I passed so I was nearly well, but needed some rest.

That morning Tony Stepson told me I was finished, and he was going to have my job.
I told Mike about it and he said John Doe was just trying to cause trouble. Mike said it was optional.

Soon after that I lost my pruners. They were engraved with an X behind the jaws.
I asked Tony about them and he said “Are you calling me a thief” My reply was no, just keep your eyes open for them.
When the dig was over Mike, let John Doe go. Then Tony told me Edan was going to be the ground boss next spring 2007.

(2006) That Fall. Edan told me, as soon as he was boss, he was going to fire all the white guys.
Tony heard it all and was amused and smiling.


(2007) That Spring. I crowned trees. Edan kept his racist remarks going.
I was now working at the tail end of the process away from Edan and Tony.
April 3, 2007. I told off Tony Stepson John Doe at the shell station. Said “your step dad told me John Doe (Hidden Valley Ranch) didn’t hire white guys. John Doe said “He hired me.” I (Murphy) said “Thanks for helping put a racist in charge (Edan).” John Doe said “I hate Edan too.”

At the end of the day Tony approached my pick up and said “if you have a problem with me talk to me, not John Doe.”
I said “yea I have a problem with you. You’re a bigot.”
Then he called over Mike. Mike asked “what’s the problem?” I spoke up “Tony brought a racist on the place, and I’m tired of being a called white guy, I have a name -Murphy.
Upon hearing all this Luke came over and entered the conversation. He told Mike about several racist remarks directed at him from Edan while Tony was standing nearby.
I (Murphy) added “How would they like it if we brought John Doe (a racist who pulled a gun on Tony) to work with us.
Mike said “You guys wouldn’t like that either. I want this to stop. Can you guys get along?
I said “yes”

After the 3rd of April Edan “White Guy” comments went down too about once a day.
When I heard that talk I would say “ I thought we didn’t talk that way here.” Edan said “I wasn’t talking to you.”

April 16, 2007 Approx 10:00 A.M. I was talking to Edan and said “your yellow shirt and matching hat look nice.”
Edan looked at me and said “it would look good on a white guy too” I let it go and said nothing.

Approx. 3PM. We were digging trees and they weren’t standing up well. Edan start yelling so everyone on the ground crew could hear. “We need some nigger to hold up these trees.” The crew got mad and started to arguing with Edan.
Tony got off the tractor (I guess to see what was happening) I said “you’re the blackest one out here.” At that point Tony said was that a racist remark?
Edan called the crew niggers. The whole crew spoke up and said he calling them niggers.
Tony told Edan he shouldn’t do that.

Then I told Mike that Edan told me last fall as soon as he becomes boss that he was “going to fire all the white guys.”
I (Murphy) said Tony was standing nearby and heard it all and he (Tony) can fire me.
Then I said that isn’t much different then John Doe (a local racist) pulling a gun on Tony.
Mike said “there is a big difference.”

It was starting time and I went out in the field to dig trees.Tony was there and called me over and said he talked to Edan.
Tony said the next guy to say anything racist would be fired.
I said “good now let work together as a team and gave him a thumb up.

The next two weeks were the most pleasant work day I had in three years. I told Ron the manger after a week I was happy again. He replied “good”

After work I told Mike that Edan was making racial slurs again. Mike said “just live with it” I told him I have been living with it for 3 years and I’m tired of it. Mike said, “I have too live with a lot of things too.

April 17th. Before work started I went to fill my water jug.Mike and Ron (manager) were standing near the water hydrant.
They were both smiled and said good morning. I said good morning. I went around the corner to fill up my jug. When I walk past Mike he looked really angry and was shaking He said “I did what you wanted do” (Ron walked away)
I guess I have to make special rule for you. What do I have to do watch over you guys?
I heard you talk about sex out there too. Then he asked what did Edan say yesterday that was racist I told him about Edan calling me a white boy and the crew niggers.
He said none of that was directed at you personally (I didn’t respond) Mike said I was making a big deal about nothing. I replied I suppose it was pretty minor, because it wasn’t directed at you.

The first thing in the morning Mike, told John Doe and I to go out and tie trees for an Alaska cargo container truck. There were about 20 trees in 40-44” balls 3-3.5” caliper about 15-20 ft. tall.
We had a 25 ft of the trailer to put them in.

John Doe and I tied for about 45 minutes then Mike came in the gate with the truck. Then he parked it just past the sunken loading dock. The dock is built in the ground with railroad ties, held in place with posts.

The truck driver got out and opened the doors and hooked them to the side of the truck. I told the truck driver (with John Doe at my side) “The doors would need to be bought in further. “
The driver unhooked the door and tried to bring the doors in closer but there was no easy to hook it in closer.

Luke went to back to, the loading dock and flagged him in standing opposite the damaged door. The trucker got in the truck and started it. John Doe and I went to get cardboard and a crimpier
Luke backed in the truck with doors still hooked loosely. Damage might have occurred while Luke was backing the truck in? He said the driver had to make severed attempts to get in. I looked back from the pick up as John Doe and I were getting water cardboard and a crimpier, and saw the driver pull out at least once for anther attempt.

When the truck was loaded it was about 20,000 pounds heavier.
Luke went over to the driver side to flag him out. I told John Doe to push the doors against the trailer. I did the same. My door latch hit top of the post. There wasn’t any breakage sound, but the rod did make contact!

When the truck came out of the loading dock. I unhooked the door and saw the damage. The door latch was pulled away from some of the fiberglass and plywood underneath it. Tad looked it over and forced things back in place with a pipe. The door locked and the driver left.

During lunchtime: Tony told everyone in the lunchroom when he was building the dock.
He told Mike it needed it to be wider.
Mike told him it was wide enough.

John Doe and I pulled trunk protectors off trees at the Levigs field. When we were done we drove back to the home place. Anne drove up to the office. She got out of her pickup looked back at us and said “ Didn’t you learn anything the other day. Rick or I didn’t know what she was talking about.
Then she said if they don’t accept the container onboard. They will have to pay the trucker and loose the sale.
I really didn’t know what to say; so I said “I’m sorry” and left to crimp about the last 20 minutes of the day. I went in and saw Luke and Tony looking at the flatbed truck, and asked them about the incident and asked what I did the other day I should of learn from?
They didn’t know.
The next morning Friday May 5 I was fired for: To much breakage.
I called Luke the tractor operator. He told me that all the temporary workers were let go. He told me that it wasn’t my fault. He didn’t know whose fault it was. The door might have been damaged on the way in? They sawed off the posts that were sticking up, so it wouldn’t happen again.
I called Ron later that night, and he said that he thought that my firing was racially motivated and offered to help, if I needed it.
Saturday May 6 I talked to John Doe at his home. He offered to tell what happened , and was supportive..
Monday May 8 I talked to John Doe another temporary worker. He said that Tony told him that Mike was looking for a reason to fire me. John Doe agreed that my firing was due to complaining about racism in the workplace.

My personal notes this what went on at the place where Murphy worked. The events and place names are correct. Personal Names have been changed. When the name John Doe I haven't yet asign an alias to or they at the time haven't play much of role.
This is part of the document that Murphy type out.
Murphy applied for his unemployment but in Idaho if your fired you can not get your unemployment benefits unless you appeal it and we are now going threw that process now.
Will post that at a later date.

Poop, Thats Me

I still feel like I’m the ping-pong ball being batted about the ping-pong table although the paddles aren’t playing as hard as they once did.
I don’t see quitting my job in June as I plan. But I figure on Saturday I can put sometime in my ceramic and possible on some Thursday.

Sorry I haven’t been posting in my blog.
My client Callie moved and I been helping with the moving. She can’t real lift anything real heavy and stress has problems with her health.
Opinion time…I think stress has something to do with all of our health I get stressed out and have anxiety attacks most caused by something that is unknown. When Murphy got fired and I didn’t know what was going on.
I’m not much on surprises. The only surprises I like is gifts.
I’ve been sore helping her move. The heaviest thing to be packed out was her entertainment center. Four females including me got it out to the back of Sawyer Pick up.
I also have been doing Sawyer graduation announcements.
Yesterday when I came home from work I was so poop I laid the couch and took about a half hour nap.
Did up spaghetti and green beans for dinner and didn’t clean up after dinner but I did make Murphy lunch.
Honest time..My home is pretty well behind and trashed
So today I’m doing laundry our night ware is on the spin cycle and I would like to get two more loads done today.
I’ve been cleaning the kitchen and I got out the heavy-duty cleaners. I actual prefer vinegar to clean with but I got so far behind and vinegar just wouldn’t cut grease and grime.
The rest of house if I get to I’ll just do a quick going over

I start writing this post on the 15th of May and now it’s the 17th of May

For Mothers day my boys got me a pony pack of white petunias that 4 of them went in my patriotic flowerbed and the other 2 went in my hodgepodge flower bed.
They also gave a lobelia plant, which I planted in my patriotic bed. I sprinkle seeds today in my hodgepodge flowerbed. I received from my Ostara scavenger hunt partner. Regretfully I forgot who she was but I know she lives around Avondale Pennsylvania. The seeds she gave me were cosmos, marigold, and money plant.
Earlier in the year Quenelle gave me some sweet william and I put the seeds about my hodgepodge flowerbed.

FIVE

Theme: FIVE/ Become a Photo Hunter/ View Blogroll


I had a hard time figuring something that represents the number 5. I looked around at different flowers to see if I could find a flower that had 5 petals.
I thought of writing the number 5 and taking a picture of it.
Once a month I do a guide reading the tarot cards I don’t believe that the tarot cards can predict the future but I believe it can be use as guide to be a better person. Anther word. Words of Wisdom I use other means for guide ness.
So I decided to take a picture of my favorite number 5 in the tarot deck and this is it.

May Reading

I just did my May tarot card reading.
I don’t look believe the tarot can predict anyone future to many forces out in universe that we have no control over.
I look at tarot cards as a guide to help me become a more full fill person

I was going to give notice in the first part of June that I was going to quite my job and give them a month to have me a replacement.
But now with Murphy loosing his job and not knowing what his job security is at this time.
Although he working planting trees but at this time it on a temporary job. If we calculate right it will be coming to a close to end of May or the first part of June. Then I’m not sure what is going on.
Feeling time…I feel like I’m a ping pong ball being bat around the ping pong ball table

I’ve always tried to considerate every side of problem or issue in life. Tried to see the other person point of view.
Confession time…I have fear of expressing my feeling. I don’t want to come across as a bitchess and a complainer
I know right now I’m disappointed that my ceramic shop plans aren’t going as plan. Murphy seems to be a more optimistic that it will happen then I am at this time

Chaos and I aren’t friends. This here seams to play nasty havoc with my life in every corner of my life.
Confession time…I don’t know how to deal with chaos Sense Murphy got fired at trees r us. At this moment my life feel like a ping-pong ball with no sense of direction.
When it comes to ego. I’ve always considered my self somewhere in the middle. I can say both Murphy and I have backbone and aren’t scared to stand up for our self.

My brother in law Earl I always thought this was his hang up in his head. Example of something Earl my do.
Jane: “Hi Earl I got a flat tire can you come over and change it”
Earl: “ Sure, no problem at all”
So Earl goes over and starts to change the tire and she spits and calls him name. Earl doesn’t do anything about it except let the person abuse him.
You see if I was changing the tire and someone treats me like that I would throw the tire iron as far as I could and walked away.
Confession time…I don’t blame Murphy and I guess I’m involved for seeking out a lawyer for being fired over racist reason
When it comes to fear I don’t like to unknown. I rather deal with disappointment and can figure how to move on.
I don’t see us real talking to a lawyer until the first part of June and not knowing to me is fearful for me

Fairy Day

I was going to only use my blog for me and I wasn’t going to us google Ad Sense Well things are getting might tight and I don’t see them improving with time for a while.
Gas prices sure don’t help the pocket book.
So I’m hoping to make a little bit of greenbacks. “I know are American money isn’t very colorful and we also put picture of dead people on our money”
But today Murphy went to his new job quite away more to drive.
At this moment maybe he should of not stood up for his self and let the one guy call him names like “white boy” and “nigger” day out and day in.

On June 24th is Fairy day What I’m hoping to get up in the mountains and take some picture of fairy homes up around the mountains.
And have them posted for the 24th of June

Callie my Client and I went to Sandpoint for her to sign her rental agreement and pick up the keys to her new home.
When I was in Sandpoint I was going to stop in at Staples and buy the card stuff to make Sawyer graduation announcements and I forgot to get them.
With the price of gas and one item it sure isn’t worth driving any distance. So I’ll pick up the card stuff at LaMars here in Bonners Ferry even if I pay a few extra pennies.

Today Sawyer got his letter for his financial aid to see what kind of help he could get.
If Sawyer got a good amount of financial aid we were going to buy him a laptop. If he didn’t do all that well on financial aid I was going to pay his tuition at North Idaho College.
But now I’m not sure what we will be like when it comes to money. Plus I won't open mail that isn't address to me.

Flowerbed Report 3

My dark purple tulips are starting to open. Recently I notice that my miniature Iris is forming buds.
Since they’re in the yellow and purple flowerbed they either be yellow or purple. Just resent I got a yellow lupine and Callie my client mother Katie gave me some Narcissism bulbs and Peony plant.
The Peony plant I put on edge of drive way and the county road. The narcissism I divide up among the purple and yellow flowerbed, patriotic flowerbed, and hodgepodge one.
Still not color other then green showing up in my hodgepodge flowerbed and I’d guess the next thing to color out would be my star of Bethlehem and my bleeding hearts.
I got my red geranium hanging by our front door. “I read that all good witches has a red geranium hanging from there home.”
Then over at my patriotic flowerbed my white tulips are done and I see no sign of anything coming up.
On the North side between the hay field and the lawn we planted a weeping birch

Murphy been writing down things that happen at the place he worked before he got fired and I got two pages typed out and saved those pages just fine.
Took a break and resume typing for Murphy and was about to save the other two pages an some how I pushed no instead of yes.
Statement time…I don’t work well under stress and I start making simple mistakes
Well the good news is that Murphy got anther job but I think it only for three weeks or so.
We think Murphy was fired because of two racist who don’t like white people and he been writing stuff down that happen to him at work and I volunteer to type it out

My anxiety been some what acting up. I was going to tell my client in June that I felt I need to move on, and did she want me to call the agency up or did she.
I would give them a month to find a replacement for me but now I can’t. It looks like I have to re figure on starting up my ceramic business later.
I was thinking of asking Murphy sister Faith if I could throw Sawyer a graduation party at her place but I don’t dare.
This could be a long hauled out process.
You see years ago Murphy got hurt at a sawmill and he was refuse his workman compensation and they told us they would starve us at before they gave us a penny. We held out and won.

Katka Flower Show

This morning I went Bonners Ferry and saw they raised gas up anther dime to $3.19 a gallon the I drove up Katka Mountain to get my friend Quenella and she and I went to the Gardenia Center for there Sunday Service. Confession time I get more out the 5 minute inspiration then I do for the 15 minute of speaker time
Today theme was on “I Am As God Created Me” Ok we are all individual and maybe some people can’t accept individuality. I can but I also know we all have are weakness and inaccuracy that makes us who we are.
Plus I believe we have individual spirit in us and we give off karma and attacked certain spirits.
In the nut shell I think individual spirit is very important.
But the inspiration was the example Jesus set for us to be more like being kind, giving, standing up, believing, being helpful, duty, honor, excepting others and self, and miracles.

Then Quenelle and I stop at Ben Franklin Store and Home Depot. The only place Quenelle bought any thing was at the home depot for her gardens.
I didn’t feel comfortable buying anything because Murphy being fired.

Then we swung by and picked up Murphy and went up on Katka and visit for while. Murphy told them how racist had became a problem were he worked. Talk about different things such as who is going to become president in France, that small water passage between Iran and Somalia. Price of everything.
I took a few shots of Quenella flowerbeds and it looks like she a week to two weeks ahead of us. I notice her Lilly of the Valley has form buds and mine wasn’t yet. The other day I found my “gay feathers” poking up and are ruffle and ½ inch to an 1 inch up. But I’d say Quenella are double what mine is.

I’ve been reading and see this all over “DO NOT BUY GAS ON TUESDAY THE 15th OF MAY
In April 1997, there was a “gas out” conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all myspace members are to not go to a gas station in protest of
high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the myspace network, and the
average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.
If all myspace members did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,200,000,000.00 (that’s BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day.
If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn’t) repost this bulletin repost it with
‘Don’t pump gas on May 15th
please re-post……..
Opinion time..If you want to make a bigger statement do not drive your vehicles that day and do not support any type of commences. “Do Not Buy Anything on May 15th”
Murphy and I stop in at B.T.C and got a few groceries and went home.

At today service the moderator told all of us about two wonderful site called Wiser Earthand Wiser Business Both of these site listed Environmental and Social friendly business and organization. So we can better our Mother Earth and all her people.

CHILDHOOD

Theme: CHILDHOOD/ Become a Photo Hunter/ View Blogroll

I sure wasn’t much of little lady when I was growing up. I didn’t play much with dolls. I rather been outside playing in a tree.
I remembered climbing in to tree forts and jumping out of them and yelling “Geronimo”

Camptown Race Sing this Song :"do dah day"

I decided to go back to an ole template that I have used in past and I notice that there some blogs I have stopover in the past and will stop in before Monday rolls around.
This one is one of my favor templates to me it says “Have Mug a of coffee and set a spell”

I got a new department on my side bar called “Fun things” and a little later on I’ll move the number #3 and try to get it to have the look of my “Coffee Pals”.

Over at 5 minute with mom is having a Mothers day giveaway

The first Saturday in May the 132 Kentucky Derby will be ran at Church Hill Down. My 3 favors are Street Sense Curlin and I’m and wild crazy guy
Here are the other horse that will be running in the derby
My mother wouldn’t bet on a gray horse. I know gray horses tends to have some type of skin problem.
My all time triple crown winner is Secretariat

Well I got my red geranium hung by my front door. It sure didn’t start out good. The planter I bought for it I was showing Murphy it and it broke in zillion little pieces.
So I end up using a rust color plastic planter that we had

Well Murphy got fired from his job this morning. I asked Murphy how long we worked on this job and he said 6 years.
I’ll post more at a later date

Ground Beef Should Still Cost Eghity Five Cent a lbs

I hope I sure don’t do this when I get older mention what wages where from long ago.
Last night we were watching a documentary on Grant which wasn’t a bad flick but what got me thinking and asking questions is about past wages of people.
In this film on grant they mention his wages right out of West Point in year of 1843 as a 2nd lieutenant, $750 a year.
It broken down it would be $62.50 a month, $15.52 a week, $3.12 a day, and 8 hour work day he would of made .39¢ and hour.
Then once he made general of the union army he was making a $12,000 a year.
Plus I remember my mom saying the year (1960) I was born that my dad was only making five dollars and hour. Then when he retired in the 70’s he was making right around $20.00 an hour.
But the never mention how much father a dollar would go then. They act like price of things haven’t changed and with today big wages we ought to be doing just doing splendid.
Ground Beef is at $2.90 something a pound but in reality ground beef was .67¢ a pound, you could feel up a big ole V-8 cars for under $10 bucks and I drive a little Mazda it cost me right around $40 to fill it up.
My Aunt Penny made $5.00 in late 40 or early 50 laundering my mom waitress uniform at $5.00 month.
They said it bought a groceries sack of food. Now for those five bucks we can buy a 2-gallon pack of milk.
Murphy or I have never made the wages that my dad has.

What I real like to do ask them how far a dollar would go next time they mention how low there wages are way back when

flowerbed report #2

In my yellowish and purplish flowerbed.
The yellow tulips are coming along nicely and shortly my purple color tulips will be in bloom soon
The daffodils are coming to a close.
I notice my gladioli are starting to break ground fairly good. I planted the glads on about April 11th.
It seems that they grape hysthen is doing very adequately and well need to spread them about.
There more coming up but not sure what everything is.
Last year I bought this low lying yellow plant at our local store and don’t know what it is. Any ideal?

Still not much color in my hodgepodge flowerbed except for a violet and also there is some violets starting to bloom is my yellowish and purplish flowerbed.
If you notice I do have a little something to my hodgepodge flowerbed “Fisher Boy” I painted him years ago and he needs some finishing touches.

This is one of our trees that Murphy brought home. It is a Black Cherry these trees aren’t native of the pacific northwest.
These are an Eastern lumber tree.
But I do like the look of cherry wood furniture but we can’t afford it.

Yesterday I was over at Miss R who lives in Australia and they are celebrating Samhain and we’re celebrating Beltane.
And she mention a kookaburra rattle and when I was in grade school we sang a song about a kookaburra and the words went:
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey that's me

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be.
So I made a major step forward in healing the emotional pain my in-laws cause me or I should say “The emotional pain that I let them cause me” I went into one folders which I kept all the posting I did on my blog about them and got rid of them”
Confession time…I figure that if my in-laws got nasty that I better keep the stuff I wrote about them because I could all use as a defense.
But who know what there going to do and I need not worry about it. Anyhow last I heard my brother in-law and his wife spilt the sheets.
I guess some computer wizard could find them here in my computer and I’m not it.
So that’s the way I’m starting my Beltane with

May full moon or the flower moon rose over the mountain southwest around nine at night.
It had a goldish tint and there was a few long and flat type of clouds in the sky that night.

The weather people is calling for rain in first part of May and which will help bring on the Moral, it just been to dry for morels

Last night we got a Opinion time…A dumb and I mean dumb movie in the snail mail movie called 1941 Confession time…I think the movie was stupid and I sat an watched the entire thing. Hoping it could possible have something that I could give it more then one-finger rating. I couldn’t even give it a 1/8 of anther finger up
I though it would have some satire humor maybe a little bit in a thimble if you looked with a magnate glass
