(if frank talk about body functions
gross you out....don't read any further!)
the VOD
she drives me nuts
3 weeks ago while my blister was here
she and the VOD went up to visit my fadder
they consume a multitude of martinis
and the VOD falls and hurts her back
the blister and I fight with the VOD
non stop for a week trying to get her to
go to a dr
the VOD will not go cos
she's afraid she'll miss a part of
the blister's visit
2 Sundays ago I drive the blister to the airport
so she can go home
and then have a huge fit with the VOD
that results in me takin her to emerg
and sitting for 10 odd hrs to find out
that while nothing is broken
she's injured herself in a way that
will require meds
so fast forward to last Thursday
on my way out for dinner with friends
I says to myself...
I ain't feeling good
I think I'm catching a cold
after dinner I went home
got into bed and only have
made it to the couch during the day since
till today.
around 11 AM I go over to the VOD's
too see if I can borrow some coffee cream
as I'm out
the VOD is sitting on the couch
I ask her when she last ate
she says not for a couple of days
I ask why not? (cos yer an 80 yr old diabetic
with an apparent death wish)
she says "cos there's no room"
huh?
what?
wtf does that mean?
we argue for a while
and eventually she tells me that she's
not had a bowel movement since she hurt her back
3 fucking weeks ago!
OMG
I'd die
so I get dressed
and go to the pharmacy
and talk to the pharmacist
asking what I should give her
thinking laxative or stool softener...
he says I should take her to the hospital
cos she could have a blockage
(being 80 and diabetic and all)
fuck eh?
so I go home -
have a big fight with her to get her to go to the hosp -
end up having to call the bother
and get him to call her
and threaten to come down
before she'll go...
we go to the hosp....
where they triage her
and we sit in the waiting room
for a couple of hours waiting to see a dr
Then they take us in to a room -
another nurse takes her vitals
and we wait again....
for a couple more hours...
and just about time
she's gonna see the dr
she announces she has to pee...
so I wheel her into the bathroom
(cos her back's too sore to walk)
and she disappears...
and comes out 10 min later
grinning like a Cheshire cat
cos she's had a bowel movement!
and she knew I wouldn't believe her
so she didn't flush
so I could have a god damn look!
I swear to god she's gonna make a drinker outta me.

Four Wheels move the Body...
two wheels move the soul
or so the saying goes
for me
it's 3...
wheels that is
I've often been asked
what it is
about riding
that has caused
this life long love affair
I have
it's all the known cliche's
and more..
it's the sun in my face
and the wind in my hair
(figuratively here people LoL
work with me here)
it's my church
it's the smells of the city, and the country side
it's hearing the sound of your engine and pipes
rattling off the towering buildings
or through the canyons and mountains
it's literally feeling the wave
of field after field of crops
in the prairie winds
and it's also
a phenomenal feeling
of accomplishment
as a single woman
to travel
and experience the open road
on your own
I started riding as a means
to frustrate my more than
over protective police officer father.
I continued to ride
for my soul.
For me
it's just as much religion
as any other type of worship
I participate in.
the open road beckons
new sights
new sounds
new smells
new people...
three wheels move this body.

ethics and morals
every human being
grows up
with a set of ethics
and morals
that speak to the very fibre
of their being...
these would the be the
rules and regulations
by which one runs their life
most of us got the basics
from our families...
the parental units...
and their parents...
our spiritual leaders...
clergymen and women...
our educators...teachers...
counselors and peers
and then there's the laws of the land
that are loosely based on
the basic ethical and moral
tenets of mankind....
as we grow up
if we are feeling
and thinking human beings
our "rules and regulations"
get examined more and more closely
on a regular basis
and we make decisions
as to which one's will remain
important to us
and which ones will not
over the years
some will change the basics...
sometimes it's done to fill
a perceived void in one's life
and sometimes it's done to justify
things that that may be causing us
a crisis of conscience
sometimes we re-evaluate
what we've been taught
to tighten the concepts
over what we learned
at the knee
of those that have gone on
before us...
as adults
we make educated decisions
hopefully based on fulfilling
the needs of our morals and ethics
I say all this
so that I may also say.....
As an adult
I do not expect anyone
to follow my personal path
and by the same token
no one should think
that I will compromise
what I believe
for the good of the "all"
(I did that once upon a time...
and the outcome was abhorrent to me)
My basic belief patterns
have evolved out of all of the
above suggested processes
and out of years of research and experience
some of which taught me lessons
the hard way
harder than most have to experience
Out of all of this
has evolved
a steadfast belief
for me
in the tenets
of the Wiccan Rede
"Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
An it harm none do what ye will."
I strive to never
intentionally harm anyone
I am not always successful
but I strive
Should it come to pass
that I harm someone
I do my personal best
to set things right
I own up to what I did
and I apologize
and make whatever restitution
I can
wherever possible
and then
when I am alone
I agonize over
what went wrong
and what lesson I can learn
from this particular episode
recently
I have had occasion
to have 3 people in 2 days
tell me that I need to "lighten up"
to not hold so dear
the basic tenets of my beliefs
to allow for things to happen
without repercussion
or consternation
both to me
and about me
I can't see myself doing so
better yet
I don't want to
and if this means that
it's time for me to move on
then so be it
I chose to remain
true to what I believe
and those who are unable to understand
will probably not even realize
when I am gone.
I am but a work in progress
in my life
I have experienced
hunger
pain
loss
addiction
anger
violence
victimization
and sadness
and I may well again....
but I have also experienced
joy
bliss
pride
amusement
peace
enlightenment
fun
and love
and I will continue on this path
this path
that is right
for me
so mote it be.

Liar! Liar! Pants on Fire!
While the visit with the blister is turning out to be a much more positive thing than I'd anticipated (so far, that is, I'm not after all delusional LoL)
I've different issues on my mind.....
Don't you just hate liars?
My grandmother used to say.... "if you are going to be a liar then be a damn good one...cos it's only time till you get caught"
she also said...
"people who lie should get to know themselves cos they are destined to spend a lot of time alone"
Telling little lies to or about people sets a precedence that makes the liar untrustworthy...telling a lie and then blaming the person you originally lied to continues to show a serious lack of morals
the definition of "moral" is:
1. of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.
2. expressing or conveying truths or counsel as to right conduct, as a speaker or a literary work; moralizing: a moral novel.
3. founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom: moral obligations.
4. capable of conforming to the rules of right conduct: a moral being.
5. conforming to the rules of right conduct (opposed to immoral ): a moral man.
6. virtuous in sexual matters; chaste.
7. of, pertaining to, or acting on the mind, feelings, will, or character: moral support.
8. resting upon convincing grounds of probability; virtual: a moral certainty.
–noun
9. the moral teaching or practical lesson contained in a fable, tale, experience, etc.
10. the embodiment or type of something.
11. morals, principles or habits with respect to right or wrong conduct.
as I get older I often wonder how liars look at themselves in the mirror
are they so ignorant of themselves that they don't realize that each and every lie they tell diminishes them?
are they so very unaware of what telling a lie does to their integrity?
having a reputation as a liar makes the person seem disloyal and devious and if you are deemed
disloyal or devious with your words some of the time....how can people believe you or trust you the rest of the time
do they think it doesn't matter?
are they so sure of their ability to manipulate people that they think it won't matter?
do they not see the patterns of self destruction in their own lives?
Over the past year I’ve learned that when my purported friends lie to me and hurt me I have to hold them accountable. Their response to that accountability is what makes or breaks the friendship.
If my friendship means so little to you that you would lie and then blame it on me…apparently I’m in fool for believing in you and standing up for you when others have doubted you in the past.
You only get the opportunity to make a fool out of me once. I'd rather spend my time alone and have no friends than be lied to.
No Joke.
