When I was playing Cashier, they expected me to sell the Plus Memberships and the E-Value Program. I know that when I am shopping I detest hearing Sale Pitches and don't like doing what I detest to customers.

Okay, the e-value program is a good thing and the best way to sell it is to know what I am selling so I got the plus membership myself.

Today I have the day off and decided to play customer for a change. LOL!

I walked into Sam's and stuck my card in the e-value machine. Dang, there are four items that I can get discounts on.

There is a three dollar discount on a pack of 42 AA Batteries. I don't need that many batteries. My GPS goes though batteries pretty fast but 42 batteries is a bit much. My friend that goes buzz in the night still has the original batteries from when I first bought it last year. So I don't need 42 batteries. I am better off buying them at the dollar store.

The next item was a three dollar discount on a choice between 62 ounces of Kraft's or Hellman's Mayo. That would last five years and my arteries would not like it.

Next was the bottle of Advil. I bought a bottle two weeks ago. I don't need a second bottle.

The last item was something that I might actually buy. It was a box of 20 Kellogg Fiber Plus Bars which were nowhere in sight.

I strolled over to the COS who was my boss a few weeks ago. Where are they hiding these things, I asked her and showed her the list. "I think they are in the healthy stuff section." I had already looked there but checked again to no avail.

After checking out that items, I did buy - I gave her my receipt. The supervisor has to check off all Associate Purchases. "Did you find them," she asked. Nope. She radioed the item number. Lo and behold they were were not stocked and on a top shelve. So she ordered the st ocker to get them down on the floor which he had to do with a forklift.

I watched them with amusement and commented to one of my fellow workers. Today is my day to be the Pain in the Azzzzzzzz Customer.

He crossed his arms and frowned. "YOU are the reason we are getting this down with a forklift." Yep! I laughed as I grabbed a box of the Fiber Plus Bars. "You better buy two of them," he commented.

Nope, if this is an advertised plus item, it better be on the floor, I advised him as I walked away with my box of Fiber Plus Bars. I was chuckling all the way.

It just makes me grateful that I no longer have to sell Plus Memberships as a Cashier since I've transferred to Produce. I would much rather sell apples and blueberries.

New Jobs, C-Ville, and Life On Life's Terms

New Jobs, C-Ville, Virginia and Life On Life's Terms
One of the beauties of working for Wal-Mart is that I can technically transfer to a different location every seven months.

I've worked for Wal-Mart in Texas, Nevada and Virginia before finally transferring to Sam's Club in Charlottesville, Virginia . When I first found out I was going to work at the Wal-Mart Bakery in Texas, my thought was "Oh My God, I am not a baker!" A lady at a 12 Step Meeting, advised me "God knows what you are good at so trust God." I found that I loved baking. It's a Spiritual Experience for me

In Virginia, I was hoping to go back into baking but I hired to work in the Meat Department. I found that I loved working with mostly men and the physical work.

When I transferred to Chalottesville, I wanted to go back into baking but they made me a Cashier instead. My thought was "Oh My God! So many people and handling Money!" Ironically, I found out that I am an okay Cashier. Sometimes "Okay" is good enough. I made the seven months. In fact, I made it a year. My relationship went terminus so where to transfer now?

I still haven't figured out where Home is so I didn't transfer anywhere.

Charlottesville reminds me of how much I missed the CyberCafes and Bookstores in Ventura California. If only I could find some Clothing Optional Beaches.

I am still to find the missing pieces of my still broken heart but at least there are fewer missing pieces now. I just don't need another man to come along to smash it again.

So last week, I thought I was interviewing for a different job position and got an offer instead. More $$$$$$ and I have to stay there another seven months.

Oh Well! For whatever reason, God knows what I am good at and where I am suppose to be.

Life of Life's Terms.

Resentments and That Annoying Mrs. Bimbo!!!!!

A few days ago I got a heated message from Mrs. Bimbo. She is not happy because I am "sending messages to Joe on FB."

Joe is not on my FB Friend's List nor am I on his so her allegations are ridculous. This is a game that she might play but it's not my game.

AND Mrs. Bimbo demanded that I drive over my former abode and deliver into her hands $$$$$$ that I borrowed from Mr. Joe when I purchased "Monticello Blue.

Ha! I look at that Abode like I do a tavern. I have no business being there. Dang! If she wants $$$$$ for Vodka - let Joe give it to her.

I'll return the $$$$$$ directly into his PPal account thus I don't have to see him and he doesn't have to see me. We don't even have to talk to each other.

So I texted her a message. "Don't call me and Stay Away!" I blocked her AND Mr. Joe from my email accounts.

After the message from her, I immediately called my 12 Step Girlfriend in West Virginia. Dang! I hate these resentments. "There are just some that we don't get over." she advised me. She suggested that I repay the $$$$$$ $5. a month. LOL!

A Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. So today I walked into a meeting and the discussion was resentment.

I was defininately suppose to be at that meeting. LOL!

That woman will NEVER be my friend but

God Grant me the Spirit of Forgiveness. We all progress and the Pigs will too. Perhaps in another lifetime. but they will progress and the Star will go on.

Ventura, Monticello, Visualization of Mecca becoming Community

I remember as a youngster going to the Ventura Pier with my father who liked to fish. While he was fishing, when I wasn't splashing around in the ocean, I was lighting candles in the Mission. I remember thinking this would be such as awesome place to live.

My marriage went Terminus when we lived in Washington State. My thought was, I can live anywhere I want. Thus my two boys and I moved to Ventura, California. It turned out that this is where we needed to be. My younger is hearing impaired and the School system had one of the first infant Deaf and Hard of Hearing Programs in the Country.

There was the challenge of living on "The Avenue" - a somewhat blighted neighborhood but within walking distance to the ocean and the pier where my Father used to fish.

Eventually, we moved to Ojai which is an Artsy Crafty Metaphysical type of community. I loved it. We were near Clothing Optional Beaches, Sweatlodges, Sage Covered Hiking Trails, Funky Bookstores, Meditation Mountain, the Goddess Center, Ad Infintum.

Life on Life's terms took us to West Forgotten by Santa Virginity. What a major culture shock that was. I adjusted, discovering the alternative folks and ordering specialized Astrology books via Amazon. I learned to make oils and incenses that I could not longer buy in Metaphysical Stores.

Now my older is in Georgia while my younger remains in West Virginia. My step- returned to California. Life on life's terms has landed me in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Thomas Jefferson has alway been my favorite Historical Person and even as a youngster I wanted to see his home of Monticello. Now I live near Monticello and it's my favorite hang-out. Life is amazing. Life in C-Ville reminds me of how much I missed the funky coffee shops and bookstores in Ventura.

Stupid Relationships, Monticello, The Creator and Senegal?

I've decided to handle the relationship issue the same way I handled my alcoholism in my early sobriety. Dear God, Don't let me drink today," I would pray. Now I've been sober longer than I actively practiced alcoholism.

So now I ask God every day, "Dear God, Please no more stupid relationships." I've told to be careful what you pray for. You might get it. My dating life has gone to a screeching halt which suits me just fine. I would rather have quality versus quantity.

I don't hang around bars for obvious reasons. When I am not at work, I spend my free time at Libraries, Coffee Houses and Monticello. I even have a Library Card at Thomas Jefferson Special Library. I tell them I am a writer and maybe I am.

So I frequently talk to the Manager at the local Java/Cyber Place. He is from Senegal. Where in the blazes is Senegal. I googlesearched it. He asked if I wanted to go out a get a drink with him. Yeah Sure! What a dullard I am. I don't drink so I suggested Monticello. I usually suggest meeting at the Java/Cy ber Place for a first meet.

Yesterday, We hiked the Monticello/Saunders Trail.

English was not his First Language. It's about his fourth or fifth language. He speaks his Native Language, French, Spanish and even a few other tribal languages. He had to learn English when he landed in the United States for because of political opponents in his Native land.

We met at the Monticello Parking lot. I showed him what is now called the "African American" Graveyard. In Jefferson's Day, it was simply the Slave Graveyard. I explained the term Politically Correct to him.

I often use the word Firetruck instead of the F-Word that ends with UCK. It was interesting explaining that one to him.

We talked about Native American Spirituality versus Native African Spirituality. Both identify God simply as the Creator. We talked about Diversity, Politics, History, different cultures. Ad Infintum. This is why I love hiking for a first date.

The Monticello Cafe makes lousey coffee compared to my Friend's Cyber/Java Cafe and the Hot Chocolate is a dollar more. I also know for a fact that they buy many of the goodies that they sell from Sam's Club. Parnera Bread bakes it on site from Scratch. . I joked about the Inferior Products at Monticello but most folks are there for the overpriced house tour versus the coffee regardless.


Afterwards, he went back to his car. I got caught in the rain and misplaced Monticello Blue (the name of my car).

Oh My God! Monticello Blue is lost at Monticello!!!! A quick prayer to St. Anthony! I usually park in a far away parking lot so that I can alway find my car. Monticello Blue was on the other side of where I usually park. All was well. It was a fantastic day with a very interesting man.

What Part of Bimbo doesn't she understand??????

Okay so.........Mr. Joe is ancient History. I have a new home, a new car and MAYBE a new boyfriend. I am living about ten miles from Monticello. How awesome is that?????

So yesterday, I am driving Monticello Blue to White's Tire Shop to get an oil change and the cell phone goes "ring ring ring!"

It's the Bimbo and her speech is slurred! She's asking about a personal matter. "Gee that's a topic that I should discussing with Mr. Joe," I advise her. "but.......... I am protective of Joe and don't want anyone interfering!" She responds.

I had to chuckle to myself. The woman came into my home, did the huggy huggy kissy sucky facey thing in my presence with the man that I was sharing a bed with and she worried about ME interfering.

Now she's officially tied the knot with him and she's worried. She's very very worried. I wonder why.

So she apologized for the derogotory remarks that she posted in FC and the nasty emails. Apology accepted. My 12 Step Teaching say I have to forgive but do I really want to be friends?

Can I please keep in touch with her? She proceeds to tell me all the marital problems she is having with Mr. Joe. Trouble in Paradise. Yada Yada Yada! You can't start a marriage based on a foundation of betrayal without Karmic Consequences. I have to secretly chuckle with amusement.

I should have asked her about the Sunflowers that are growing in her yard. LOL!

Tarot: The Tower Card in My Life!!!!!!

Had I pulled a Tarot Card earlier this month. It would have been the Tower Card. This is a card that everyone hates to see in a spread, since it involves so much upheaval and distress, but which so often acts to clear out old energy and situations in one fell swoop.

Lots of people's lives take such an amazing turn for the better after a time like that, so even though they're always hard to go through, sometimes they can really wind up being a good thing

This is clearest cards when it comes to meaning. False structures, false institutions, false beliefs are going to come tumbling down, suddenly, violently and all at once.

The Lover is being Faithful. Yeah Right. What a Rude Awakening that one was.

Nothing built on a lie, on falsehoods, can remain standing for long.

Better to tear it all down and rebuild on the truth. It is not going to be pleasant or painless or easy, but it will be for the best.

So - My Car blows up and I have to borrow Mr. Joe's Truck. His new bride was not happy. 60 Miles a Day! I give 30 days notice and the landlady rents my place a week later. Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!!

So now I have a new car and live in C-ville closer to my job and Monticello.

Godspeed Delilah - The Birth of Monticello Blue the East Coast Malibu

Maybe the death of Delilah the Dynasty was a sign it was time to move on and the birth of Monticello Blue is the birth of a new things to come!!! Here's to the growth of sunflowers......... Quoted By My Sister

VanGogh was the Areostar before Delilah. I was raising three boys. We were were constantly going on family events and camping.

Alas, the boys grew up - We moved to West Virginia - Van Gogh hated West Virginia and eventually went terminus along with my marriage.

So along came Delilah the Dynasty. She came along during the Lonely Era of my life. Her radio played Sappy Love Songs.


Once Upon a Time - I was falling in Love - Now I'm only Falling Apart- Once Upon A Time there was light in my Life, No there's only Love In the Dark, Nothing I can say, Nothing I can do, A total Eclipse of the Heart.

I frequently cried in that car while listening to th oses songs.

Delilah was a God Car, running by the grace of God, but the Goddess finally said "Enough!" so now Delilah on that Great Highway in the Spirit World.

So along comes Monticello Blue the East Coast Malibu.

I need to find different type of songs to listen to. Maybe a really awesome jazz station.

But They sure are growing in Mr. Joe's Yard.

Earlier this week, when Delilah the Dynasty Died when I was on my way to work, the only one that I could think of to call was Mr. Joe. He was gracious enough to loan me his truck for a week.

His new "Bride" was not a happy camper. She kept sending derogatory messages on FB. Gee what a fat AZZZZZZZ I have and hers is getting so much smaller AND when am I bringing the effffffing Truck back!!!!!!

Oh Well!!!!

Cry A River, Build A Bridge, Get Over It!!!!!

When I knew that Mr. Joe and I were going to become History, I planted SunFlower Seeds all over his yard.

So Thursday when I dropped the effffffffff Truck off at Mr. Joe's House - I observed an abundance of knee high plants growing around his house and in various area in his yard. In another Month, they will be EVEN TALLER with Yellow and Orange Flowering Blooms.

So I put my famous quote on FB

When Love turns into El Toro Doo Doo - Use It for Fertilizer to grow Sunflowers. Love will Bloom Again.
quoted by Star

The Blonde Ms. Joe's old b/f who is on FB replied with
flowers dont grow when they are watered with VODKA. LOL!

Life on Life's Terms and a Lucky Escape for both of us. The old b/f no longer has to moniter her alcoholism. His old girlfriend has a brand new enabler. - and I escaped from untrue love.



My New Car is named Monticello Blue and will take me to the back roads where True Love Resides.

Dalila the Dynasty was a Goddess Car. She ran by the Grace of the Goddess but the Goddess Finally Said 'ENOUGH!!!!"
S0 Delila went to Car Heaven and her parts will be harvested for other Goddess Cars.

So off to the Car lot I went. When I was married, I wanted a Saturn but my now ex-husband talked me into buying VanGogh the AreoStar instead. It was a better choice since I was raising three boys and we were into Camping.

Van Gogh didn't like West Virginia Winters at All and so I traded him in for a Kia. That Kia got totalled in a flood while I was driving to work at 4 in the morning.

I had taken the company truck to the local High School so that the Baby Rednecks (aka Students) could change the oil. The Auto Mechanics instructor had a car for sale. My Sweet Wonderful Goddess Car. She served me well but it's time for her to recycle. Life on Life's Terms.

A male friend accompanied me to the Car Lot today. We test drove the Saturn which is built for speed. It can go up to One Hundred and Thirty Five Miles Per Hours. Opps! I don't need another speeding ticket. That is not the car for me and he agreed.

So now I have a Blue Malibu! Is my new car a boy or a girl and what should I name it?
