Last year, my sister advised me that the way to get over the death of a spouse is "Take Medication and Put on Big Girl Panties."
I sent her a pair. She was not amused
This week I was in the Break Room at work and found an ad for Mail Order Depends. My evil mind was sooooooooooo tempted to send her an order.
She would REALLY be unamused.
I am opting to take the High Road and not follow the dictates of my evil mind.

It seems like my entire like has been on Hiatus this year. I told myself I would make no major decisions for the First Year. Grumpy died May 15, 2013. It's been a year of reflection. I met Grumpy at a PWP X-Mas Party in 1990. We both became very active in PWP. He was Family Director while I was Programs and Education Director at the Chapter and later the Regional Levels.
It was fantastic for our boys. His and my two sons. We became a blended family.
We married August of 1995, Moved to West Virginia, Divorced in 2002 and I came back in 2011 to take care of him.
It's been quite the Journey with Grumpy. It was a complicated and unusual relationship. He was a difficult man but I loved him and I miss him. I am not sure what is next.

Experience has taught me that it is much simpler and less nerve wracking to Navigate the Metro versus driving the roads in a Big City. Still, I have a tendency to get lost regardless. It doesn't really matter because when I am being a Tourist, it's just another undiscovered adventure around the corner.
One of my goals in Washington D.C. was to Run the War Memorials to honor my Veteran Dad. Korea and Vietnam. My plan was to run it in the early morning but I decide to check it out at night so I wouldn't get lost in the morning.
I spotted the Washington Memorial and followed the Reflection Pool ending up at the WWII Memorial with a sign saying Vietnam Memorial This Way ->
My Thought "I am here, I am in Running Gear , Let's get it done. Running toward Vietnam, I found the Lincoln Memorial first. Next I found Korea and Finally Vietnam. It was about 11 pm when I was finally heading back to the Quaker House. A Cab driver stopped and offered me a ride. No Thanks, I'll run. He suggested that he can find me some "Customers!"
Dang! What kind of customers would he expect me to have at eleven at night. I called him a stupid sleazy n-word with Sand in front of it. If he would have gotten out of that cab, I would have kicked his butt.
I made it back to the Quaker House - Safe and Sound. It is a Good thing I ran the War Memorials at Night. The next morning I had a date with a DC Cop who lectured me about running around in DC at night.

I am not a fan of the Second Amendment but I am VERY passionate about the First Amendment. I stayed at the William Penn House in Washington D.C. NO smoking, NO drinking, NO Television, and Early Morning Meditations PERFECT!!!!!!
I did notice that Washington D.C. has a very strong Police Presence and they all carry VERY BIG GUNS. I don't suspect the Second Amendment is going to go away anytime too soon.

My Date with the D.C. Cop

A few years I prayed, Dear God, No More Stupid Relationship. Most of the time if a date is arranged, he does a "No Show No Call" I figure it's a lucky escape courtesy of my Higher Power.
Miracles do exist. I have a Date today that ACTUALLY show Up!!!! I have been talking to this man for a few years. I took a trip to Washington D.C. close to where he lives and suggested that we meet for coffee.
The man is absolutely delicious Hot Chocolate with Beautiful Qualities inside and out. I am not sure he know how to take me. I have an politically incorrect sense of humor.
He is a retired D.C. Police Officer so he showed me where the cops hang out for breakfast. Secret Service, President Protectors, CIA, FBI, Ad Infintum. D.C. has lots of cops.
I told him how my sister and I used to work at the local donut shop in Los Angeles County. We were cop groupies and compared notes on the various officers. We could blackmail the Gardena Police department.
I also shared about some of my experiences when I worked in a near Hollywood California and my experiences with a crooked Los Angeles Cop.
He talked about some of the murder cases that he worked on.
I told him my fantasy was to compromise his virtue under the Liberty Bell. Pennsylvania is too far - he replied. So the other option is to go skinny dipping in the Reflection Pool. I suggested. He avoided the Reflection Pool and drove us the Police Memorial Site Guess what - They have a Reflection Pool. He overlooked that fact. There was a look of sheer terror on his face. I assured him that his virtue was safe. I NEVER go skinny dipping until the third date. I think Officer Hot Chocolate was taking me way too seriously. LOL!.

Pit Bulls, The Wizard Of Oz And Cheesy Lawyers

Nov. 18, 2005
A Florida law firm's television ad featuring a pit bull, a breed known for its aggression, is an insult to lawyers, the Florida Supreme Court ruled. The court also reprimanded the pair of Fort Lauderdale attorneys whose advertisement showed a spike-collared pit bull in the company logo
The advertisements "demean all lawyers and thereby harm both the legal profession and the public's trust and confidence in our system of justice," The Judge scolded the misbehaving lawyers. The two lawyers were ordered to attend an advertising ethics workshop. I wonder how the pit bulls felt?
I never understood the validity of lawyer jokes until I had to deal with my ex-employer's lawyer last year. I reported an abusive male supervisor and was fired from my job. When I knew I was a target, I immediately started documenting. I began looking for other employment and started a new job a few days after receiving the word that my employment was terminus. That job only lasted two weeks. We parted company and I filed for unemployment.
The previous employer protested the unemployment. The lawyer requested to conduct the hearing by telephone. The first hearing reminded me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz - where Dorothy and her friends finally meet the Wizard. He appears to them as a big, powerful and frightening image. Dorothy's Toto pull a curtain which reveals a little man pulling levers and buttons that present the wizard on a big screen TV with special effects. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, I am the great Wizard of Oz!" declares the little man behind the curtain.
My previous employer's lawyer have much in common with that little man behind the curtain. They are corporate bullies hiding behind a cheesy lawyer. The lawyer rambled on about how I was mentally unstable therefore imagined the abuse. My strategy was to simply let him rant. A wise woman says few words but a fool babbles on. It was a partial victory. I appealed for the win.
In the second hearing, I knew the doofus lawyer's game plan. I also had a copy of his legal equivocation. This time the lawyer went as far as to say that I was practicing voodoo. He said I had a doll of the Supervisor and was sticking pins in it. This was just a silly rumor. The Judge actually laughed and ruled that having a voodoo doll of the supervisor would be poor judgment but no threat to the supervisor. It was a total win for me. The ex-employer appealed again. After the third win, it went to the Circuit court.
The silly lawyer used the same strategy and expected different results. I was able to take his game and play it better than him. This time he added that I had available employment at the time I lost my job therefore did not qualify for unemployment. If he would have checked his facts he would have realized that I did accept that available employment. The job only lasted two weeks. The doofus quoted court cases. I quoted anti-retaliation laws. It was the final win for me.
I was hoping the ex-employer would appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court. It was actually getting fun to go toe to toe with the lawyer. If it went to the Supreme Court, real lawyers would jump on the bandwagon. Anti-Workplace Bullying laws could be created. If I can beat them with a humble two year degree, what can really educated person do to them?
When Dorothy confronted the wizard who represented himself as being bigger than he was. Dorothy scolded, " you are a bad man!" "No," he quietly responded, "I am just a bad wizard." In the end, the Wizard redeemed himself, and Dorothy went home. I wonder if the ex-employer has mean people or just bad managers. Will they redeem themselves like the Wizard did. Karma will come in the form of government auditing when they start following the money that they get from government contracts. I only need unemployment for three months. The battle with the ex-employer lasted for almost a year . I suspect that the lawyer was paid money more than what they were trying to prevent me for getting. Good lawyers are be hero when they have good facts. Lawyers who have bad facts and fight losing battles get paid nevertheless.

 I was cleaning out the Drawers and found her trinkets. I mailed them back to her but not before posting them on 
F C A E B O K O!!!!!
I have to laugh! I now own a Century Old House - Free and Clear. I also have a New Car and possible $350,000 that he inherited from his Late Mother's Estate. That woman will roll over in her grave if she knew I could possible benefit from her estate. She once commented that she liked Grumpy's second wife better and wished he would have remained married to her. My Catholic Former Mother-In-Law received a Jehovah Witness Wake courtesy of her JW .
Grumpy willed his Estate to His FORMER SPOUSE drum roll
S T A R 
I am not sure how this scenario is going to work out. Everything I did for Grumpy, I didn't do for personal gain. I did it for LOVE!!!!!
I sent a REALLY REALLY nice Letter to the OTHER WOMAN - I even gifted her with a nice necklace.

Letter to the OTHER WOMAN - GRUMPY died May 15th 2013. You were his last Love. He saw something valuable in you. I pray that you seek recovery and follow the dreams that are your destiny. I've been clearing the drawers and found items that belong to you. Bright Blessing - STAR
Found in my Journal - Saturday 10Arpri2010 -
We have all been hurt and betrayed by someone we thought cared about us. All that El Toro Doo Doo that we thought was love can be used to grow flowers where real love can bloom. I can't fix the character defect that attracted me to the man who thought I wasn't worth loving but I can fix my fat azzzz by running and going to the gym. The female who took away the man I love needed him more. Cry A River, Build a Bridge, Get Over It. The only way over that bridge is FORGIVENESS!!!!

Star Is Going Into Politics for the CHICKENS

 I ran for City Counsil and lost. Alas! It's not the end. Hillary didn't win the first time either. I plan to attend the Council meetings and be a thorn in the new Mayor's backside or perhaps his best supportive allay..
I love the First Amendment . The fact that the Goverment doesn't get to dictate my Spiritual Path is awesome. I have mixed feelings about the Second Amendment. Guns are not my favorite items. There are folks who are more gun savvy than I am. Let them deal with them.
The REAL Issue that makes my heart go pitter patter is Chickens. Contrary to what some folks think. Californinians are not all a bunch of citified yuppies. I came to age in the California Desert. My grandparents raised Chickens. I loved those early morning cock-a-doodle-doos.
So Why are the local Dignitarys so opposed to Chickens within the City Limits. Times are hard. Chickens can be an economical solution. They produce eggs which is an inexpensive source of protein. Some folks may even eat the Chickens themselves. Ugh!!!! Chickens make fertilizer which helps the Garden to grow. This is a much better alternative to eating the chickens. The Chickens will also eat the left over food that doesn't go into a compose pile.
I say that some of these folks who don't like Chickens and call themselves Democrates are Dinosaur DINO's. DINO equals Democrats in name only.
They parade around in a huff and blame Obama for the troubled economy yet refuse to LOVE THE CHICKEN. Fie, Fie and Fie Again.
The Third World Nation Haiti is embracing the Chickens as a way to recovery from impoverished conditions, and natural disasters. The Educated Citizens of Ronceverte should appreciate the Wisdom of the Haitian People. Love the Chicken and Love Prosperity
