Miss ne?
Apr 18, 2008


It has been a dog-awful 6 months. Months I would not have survived without the assistance of brilliant and caring friends...thank you all!

And you know what, darlings, it is still NOT good.

I am blogging politically (turning to more humanitarian and social subjects...) at:

Sassy and weird I promise.

If you ever want to be in direct touch, just email me at aileenterra@gmail.com

Desparately Seeking English Friends
Aug 11, 2007


I was not going to do this but I miss them.

If anyone knows Paul Blake or Debbie with daughter Alice - all who knew Boy George (Lil Alice played the drums at 2) - I miss them and am trying to find them.

No One Will Ever Keep Me Down
Aug 11, 2007


I love a Brit band called Chumbawamba (and many, many, many others but that is yet ANOTHER story.) They speak to me of crossing lines for all the right reasons; just like Diana did once...and others like Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman or Meg Ryan or many others that I may not yet know about. Hugs all round you ladies like me!

I am of that type. I am a 55 year old sort and after 30 years in a business profession I am quitting the whole damned thing and turning back to social services right here in the awful US of A with that Moron in charge. Against our wills - please know that!

So I now have a Blog which is starting to get some attention called - you will like this! - The Pubhouse Dialogues. There I am Arrietty with her sassy Blog "The Velvet Hammer." rofl! Tell me that is not a correct name!

Visit please, mes chers. Also - I need to learn american spanish quickly!!! - any suggestions?

I am leaving insurance for being a computer helpful (administrative? omygoodness) person at an 116 year old charitable organization. I am in frikkin heaven! Even as a Radical Atheist - just like Douglas!!!! I start in about 2 weeks.

I havve been nearly dying from black mold exposure for a solid year but babies, I am back! Check out how sassy I am - <<<preeeeeen!>>>

Martin Luther King, Jr.
John Lennon
Rajiv Ghandi
Anwar Sadat

I am missing my lost children and parents:

Lynn
Marilyn
Vanessa
Genvieve
Sam

I am missing my friends dead of complications of Aids.

Billy Moon
Patrick Knickerbocker
Patrick Stickney
Scott Waugh

I am missing my friend dead from suicide.

Ron McMillen

I am missing my friends dead of hate crimes.

Brenda Smith
(distantly) Michael Shepard
my friend Criz' lover

I am missing my friend dead of an unexplained accident.

Tim

I am remembering

Refugees
The abused (of any age or sex)
The poor
The homeless
The suicidal

Here is love from me hoping that this last group is not in graveyard by next Memorial day.

Hugs all round,

"Arrietty"
Aileen

Outlaws and Spring Buds
Apr 1, 2007

Well, my president sure is an outlaw. He just up and told our Congress and the american people that he didn't have to listen or care or count bodies. He strictly had to get the job done.

Oh, puh-lease!

Impeachment is on so many people's lips that I used it as my April Fools joke to my spouse. I said, bright-eyed, hellion that I am, "Did you hear about Bush getting impeached this morning?"


...April Fools. Well it made my day. Naughty Zoot.

I am finally recovering from a danged brush with black mold, an evil substance that is actually quite pretty and flowerlike under a microscope. Google it and see.

So since I didn't die and it took 7 month to get *mostly better* (a month longer than 2 weeks of bed rest and full doctoring that a friend of a friend did), I have decided to enjoy what life I have left.

So no more burning trees or ozone, ok?

hehe
