hee hee hee me again! wanted to bring to your notice (awareness) that the "American Family Association" is currently unable to release their fascination with "homosexual" America. Now they are attacking McDonalds for their stand on supporting gay and lesbian rights...
The "American Family Associations" views on Homosexuality and the "war".
VS
Here is the link to a article about said "boycott" ~ "AFA calls for boycott of McDonalds"
Who woulda figured that we (gay/lesbians) would be such a threat against Religious bigots? what is it they fear? their supposed belief that gays and lesbians are out to "corrupt" their youth? that, higher power forbid (Goddess in my case), we as citizens of this country should be allowed to, as couples, file our taxes together? that, as a couple, be able to claim our partners on our health insurance? that we be allowed to have a voice in our partners healthcare? that we have a choice to be able to carry out our partners final wishes if it ever came to be? that we could walk down the street holding handsand whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears without being verbally assaulted, physically attacked, called "sicko's", "weirdos", appalling in the higher powers eyes? to be judged, rediculed, punished, jailed, fired from our jobs? etc. etc. etc.? do you think your GOD (AFA's GOD) condones the hate, fear mongering, prejudice and ignorance that they extole the virtues of? for some reason (call me silly) I don't think your (the AFA's again) would appreciate that ~ the higher power made each of us, there is a purpose for each of us and that higher power loves each and every one of us. I could react with anger...initially I did feel anger, now what I feel is sadness, pity ~ yet I hold a wonder within myself the "why" of it. Christianity is not the only religion out there, there are so many other beliefs out there ~ yours is not the only one.
Good Morning all ~
I'm sitting here at the computer at a quarter till 8 in the A.M. ~ didn't sleep well last night was up every couple hours, some of it was because of Heathen he was yowling a few times during the night, some of it was Cindy, her tummy has been bothering her for the past few nights and not sure why, she thinks it could be she is getting too hot during the day and it has been VERY hot the last couple of weeks here. The weather man said last night that yesterday was the hottest day we've had this summer & that's saying alot. It's miserable. I'm waiting faithfully for Autumn and Winter to get here, will be sooooo happy when it does!
Heathen has been on his prednisone and antibiotics since Thursday and it seems to be helping him a bit, his spirits are better, he doesn't seem to be running a fever etc. but he still is having trouble with his back legs and can't lift his tail yet, I hope it clears up soon I feel so bad for him, he's such a independent creature and he's frustrated and miserable.
Thank you to all that have commented about my Baby ~ it means a lot to me that you care enough to do so. Makes my heart happy and takes away some of my "cynic".
Work has been kind of slow the past couple of weeks also, yesterday I was just ticked off in general (same ol', same ol') about laziness and just "don't give a damn" attitude prevelant in my co workers (not all mind you but the majority).
Cindy has it rough too and she doesn't work in air conditioning! I feel for her so much and wish it weren't so for her ~ but it's her career and she will do what she can to progress with it.
Menopause and hot flashes have been setting in with a vengeance!! ughhhhh I hate it! but I will be very glad when I don't have my Moondays OR the Menopause to worry about lol. I'll be in my Crone stage of life once it's over with. It's amazing throughout the history (patriarchal and A.D.) how much emphasis males (not all but enough of them) & through doing so created the same stigma within women themselves...that so much of a woman's value is based on her ability to bear children and once she can't anymore she's not worth as much? WRONG ~ once you enter into Crone stage (after Menopause) you are stronger, you have less things tying you down, you are wise (most anyway)... there is SO much to be done still!! and you don't have to worry about your Moondays holding you back or all the crap that goes along with it.
Today Cindy and I are going to take her nephew to a indoor water park ~ I'm so not wearing a swimsuit lol ~ but those two will...I'll just take a book and read while I wait. I hope it will be fun for them both ~ I'm in charge of the camera ROFL ~ that's scarey.
Going to go for now, everyone have a great rest of the weekend.
Blessings*

I just got through watching a movie on Showtime 2 called "Freedom Writers" ~ all I can say is I recommend it, a excellent, truly excellent movie, makes you think and realize there is always a struggle out there much larger than yours. (blink) wow ~ now that's a thought isn't it? sometimes I think we sit in complacency and ignore things going on around us because they make us uncomfortable and take us out of our comfort zone. Wake up and smell the roses... there is always a condition out there worse than our own personal reality. Check it out...here is a video from You Tube with one of the songs from the soundtrack, listen to the words... if I can, I'll find the lyrics and post them below the video for those that can't "hear" these words. Check into watching this movie...Hilary Swank stars in it. ((((Indigo)))) Sistah dear...

A Dream
I am happy
I am I am happy
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[One day]
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
We gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[that one day]
that one day
all of the people and myself
are gonna find a better way
My dream is to be free
my dream is to be
my dream my dream is to be
my dream is to be
my dream is to be free
A search for brighter days
I ride through the maze of the madness
struggle is my address
where pain and crack lives
gunshots coming from sounds of blackness
given this game with no time to practice
born on the blacklist
told I'm a little average
A life with no cabbage
that's no money if you're from where I'm from
funny,
I just want some of yours son
dark clouds seem to follow me
alcohol that my pops swallowed bottle me
no apology
I walk with a boulder on my shoulder
it's a cold war
I'm a colder shoulder
I fight the same fight that made Martin Luther the king
I ain't usin' it for the right thing
in-Between lean and the fiends
hustle and the schemes
I put together pieces of a dream
I still have one
I am happy
I am I am happy
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[One day]
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
We gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[that one day]
that one day
I'ma look deeper than myself
are gonna find a better way
My dream is to be free
my dream is to be
my dream my dream is to be
my dream is to be
my dream is to be free
The world see me lookin' in the mirror
images of me gettin' much clearer
dear self,
I wrote a letter just to better my soul
if I don't express it,
then forever I hold inside
I'm from a side where we outta control
rap music and the hood play a fatherly role
my story like yours, yo, gotta be told
tryin' to make it from a gangsta to a Godlier role
and Jewish people in cold caves
hate has no color or age
flip the page
now my rage became freedom right
write dreams in the dark
they far, but I can see em
I believe in heaven more than hell
blessings more than jail
In the ghetto, let love prevail
with a story to tell
my eyes see the glory of, well,
the world waitin' for me to yell
I have a dream
I am happy
I am I am happy
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[One day]
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
We gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[that one day]
that one day
all of the people and myself
are gonna find a better way
My dream is to be free
my dream is to be
my dream my dream is to be
my dream is to be
my dream is to be free

Good Morning Everyone ~
Update on Heathen ~ well, apparently he really, REALLY irritated what was wrong with his hips originally! on top of the irritation with that he now has a bladder infection, hence the "dribble" that won't stop. I'm having to bathe him 3 times a day with a shampoo that you don't have to wash out ( just the rear portion of his body) which I can tell he finds totally yucky. She put him on a very high dose of prednesone <spelling> and antibiotics, as well as something I have to give him once a day to help with his bowels (this since the muscles are all seized up & he can't himself) and did a full bloodwork panel. Cost monetarily $200 ~ price paid? relief for his Momma and priceless that it wasn't something life threatening. I will know more when the vet calls this morning with the results of his blood panel. She was hesitant about the steroids because of his diabetes... we've been keeping that under control thru his diet and she worries about that changing and creating a opening to where he has to take insulin. I really worry about that also because there have been quite a few cases where a pet has to start taking insulin and they become blind. Please offer up prayers, blessings, good thoughts and positive energy towards my Baby. Thank all of you that responded yesterday... it means a lot to me!

I don't know how many people that read this journal have ever heard the Singer Pink's song called "Dear Mr. President" or not, it's a very, very deep song with complete truth in the lyrics - this is one of those song's that I listen to and I see in my head and I wonder how Mr. Bush can live in his skin. I guess gross profits from the oil industry and other bullshit helps pave the way to a guilt free libido. Some of you disagree with my feelings as far as Mr. Bush is concerned but I CAN tell you ~ there are far more people in this country and in the world as a whole that feel the same about him and his politics than the naysayers. Again, my opinion, my journal ~ don't like it? that's your choice, whatever.
One note ~ or maybe two... I have never candy coated my political views nor my feelings towards this "man" in any way ~ I don't like him and I never have, nor any in his administration. The second note ~ I LOVE this country, I am fiercely proud of it, I'm proud of our history, I support our country's troops wholeheartedly... but, I hate & despise the way this country is being run into the ground and embarrassed throughout the world, not by everyone, but by enough of them. My Grandfather and his Father are rolling in their graves with what is going on (yes, they served in the military in a World War and the Korean too). A HUGE and heart felt THANK YOU!!!! to our troops here and overseas...come home to us safe.
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and a happy one... safe too!!
Blessings*
