People At My School Say I’m A Goody Goody.

Some of the students at my school at school say I’m a goody goody, I think the teachers appreciate it though. A goody goody is someone that always follow the rules and never does any thing that disobeys the rules. That is me, but I don’t mind being called a goody goody. Even though I am, I’m proud of it. To me I think kids, and adults, should not disobey the rules. I like for everyone to be good, but we all know that’s never going to happen no mater how much we want it to be.  (I wonder if that’s why not many people like me? Maybe not or maybe so. I don’t know.) Well, I got to go now, goodbye!

Mom’s night

Since further back then I care to remember, we have had a “girls night out” every week at one of the homes of someone in our group of moms to play games or do crafts and discuss life.

This week’s gathering happens to be at my house, so I am cleaning and baking and ordering some goodies for this weekend’s festivities here. We will be doing scrapbooking tonight and I have bought a lot of little embellishments and special papers at the craft store to share with our group.

Has been a lot of fun over the years to get together, and I hope it is something we will do for all time. Anyways, have to get back to getting things done –  write to you all again soon.

Heard from girlfriend in Colorado

I got an email with the subject line of “legal funding”, I almost hit the delete button when I noticed that it wasn’t spam but an email from a girlfriend all the way back from Junior High School days.  She and her hubby moved a few years ago to Colorado and she is really good about keeping in touch with email.

They seem to love it out there, but it is so very unfortunate that exactly one year to the day that they moved out there, her hubby was involved in a pretty serious auto accident, to which he was not at fault, he was rear ended while sitting at a red light. His back and neck are both messed up pretty badly and of course he can’t work so the burden has been placed on her to keep the money coming in. And there he sits in pain and not being able to bring in any income, that is depressing I’m sure of that.

They will be receiving a nice large settlement some day but in the mean time they are really struggling to keep their brand new house from going to foreclosure.

But it seems that they were told about an option that they could use to help keep them going until the settlement happens. It seems there are companies that will loan you the money until you receive your settlement and you don’t have to start making payments until you start receiving your settlement and she was sending me the link to it in her excitement of finding out that there may be a way to help save the day.

I’ve heard of these companies, and they sound like they could be very helpful when you are in desperate need of losing your home and all that you treasure in life. I hope it works out for them.

My daughter’s first club experience in D.C. scared me

My daughter has never been the club type, but a few of her girlfriends wanted to go to one in D.C. and had been talking her into going with them. She scared the heck out of me because I told her to call me when she arrived and when she was on her way back home, and she forgot to call me when she was leaving and she apparently fell asleep in the car and her girlfriend took her to her house to sleep, and her phone died so I, of course, freaked out. When she returned home the next morning at about 7am, and I was so happy that I could finally go to sleep after staying up all hours of the night worrying about my first born.

Gene Simmons is a “Hoot”

As some one who grew up in the 60’s and lived through the music of so many talented artists of the 50’s,60’s,70’s, and then, of course, the 80’s. My family was very music oriented and I had the opportunity to be exposed to all kinds of music and still do enjoy a variety of music to this day, when so many people limit theirs into just one or two kinds.

I remember the band by the name of KISS, they really made a statement and the public went wild about it, they certainly made a name for themselves and became extremely rich and famous with their hard rock, make-up and special effects that mainly consisted of some sort of fire.

So when I stumbled onto Gene Simmons reality show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, late one night I decided to check it out and I instantly became hooked on it. Once again I remember a lot of their music and for the most part enjoyed it, although I would not consider myself as a die hard fan, so I have not been following their lives, but for some reason their show is funny and entertaining and gives you an insight into their personal family life that just makes me feel good about them and it amuses me to watch them.

If you haven’t ever watched the show you may want to consider checking it out sometime for a laugh or two, usually at Gene Simmons expense.

Female Issues

My best friend and I have known each other for over 40 years and there isn’t anything that we haven’t talked about with each other but it did feel rather strange when she was telling me that she was seeing a doctor about having surgery done for vaginal relaxation.

I decided that I should research a little bit about this subject and came across a website miklosandmoore.com that talks about all kinds of vaginal surgeries that are available. I had no idea that there were so many surgeries that were available for the vaginal area, so this particular web-site was very enlightening indeed.

I hope that my girlfriend picks a doctor that has good credentials, because I would think you would want to be very particular about what doctor performs surgery on such a vulnerable and important area on the female body.

MySpace

Hello, it’s Darlene’s daughter again. Do you have or want a MySpace? I just got one yesterday. And I still can’t believe it! I have been wanting a MySpace for months. A lot of my friends have one and one of them have lots of people I know from school. But their not necessarily my friends. Maybe I know two of them pretty well. Just not the rest of the people. Right now I have about nine people as my friends on my MySpace. I don’t know a lot about it, but my sister is helping me with it. So if I have trouble with it I can just ask my sister about whatever I’m having trouble with. I really like having a MySpace because it’s a lot of fun. I’m so glad I have one!

California Drinking

My long time friend who has ended up in Southern California hasn’t called or email as much lately as he used to actually called today, he picked a crazy day to call, but I’m glad that he did.  He is such a wonderful person and life gave him the challenge of being gay, we’ve spent many an hour chatting about his lifestyle and he has had his ups and downs with it that is for sure.

He spent some time back in his old home town in Wisconsin, but small towns up north are not what you would call “gay friendly” so he didn’t stay there long.  He bounces around the states and I never know where he will be calling from next.  This time he was thinking of staying in California but of course life is challenging him once again.

He has always enjoyed the night life, since bars are the easiest place to meet other gays, but since he is fast approaching the age of 60 he has toned down his wild night life, for the most part.

After much prodding from his close friend – the poor guy went out the other night and it happens that someone must have slipped something into his drink(s), so he doesn’t remember all that much.  He does remember however, the L.A. police officer hand cuffing him, pieces of a ride in the smelly backseat of a police cruiser and most of all waking up the next a.m. in a cold, cramped and very scary jail cell.  His night out of the town ended up in getting himself a DUI.  And that, now a days, is serious and can cost $$$$$ and will make it difficult for him to keep his job as a city bus driver, bummer.

Of course by now he tells me that he has an attorney.  he even writes a blog on their website Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Blog | California Criminal Law Forum. They are one of the top 5% U.S. Law Firm that specializes in aggressive representation in the Southern California courts with criminal and DUI cases.

About as Useless

I was trying to think of a good phrase to post on Facebook to kid a friend. He mentioned in oe of his posts that he can’t dance. So I wanted to flippantly say, “A man who cannot dance is about as useless as . . . . ” but I couldn’t think of anything! I hate it when I know there is a word or phrase on the tip of my tongue but it just won’t come forth!

I searched on Google for the phrase and not much of anything come up in the search results. So I stepped away from the computer for a bit and cooked dinner. While I was cooking, I did get an idea of what to say. I finished the phrase with: “. . . an ashtray on a Harley.”
