sitting with my christian family with a program on patience.. I agreed with most of it and at least Jesus wasnt mentioned over 50x..so as far as our relationship, I hope that my better half will see the light... I dont know if the alligator was appropriate, because I think most folks that screwed me over didnt have much patience...

wow... as usual, I am finding that time is accelerating as I age... if I know that Im taking care of business for our family, I dont feel so bad.. and knowing that we are on the way back to OZ so quickly again.. I of course shouldnt have procrastinated so much and come back a lot sooner to take care of business, epecially  with all this crap that's in storage...that is the biggest obststacle...

after thinking about my own garbage that I have to go through before adding it to landfills, I looked at Huffpo and saw this article about the worst polluted places in the world...and to think that Sarah Palin , Geoge Bush and Faux News don't give a shit about how we are fucking up this world!(this bloke on the right reminds me of this youn g Jesus look alike bloke who thought he was a saviour

Hello Sweden!! somebody from Gottland was checking out my site and Im always curious as to what reason they might have pulled up my site?? ... right now, Im in the current limbo, wondering where I will go next and where my little family will safely go.. and wonder if some arsonist squirrels will attack my home as soon as I leave.. hopefully, the insurance packet should be in the mail..

I decided to have one more visit to Wendy's or at their parking lot so I could chat with with you at least for a few minutes after visiting Okc's notorious Crimson Canine (the Red Dog)...it's only natural for men and some Ellen Degenerate leaning women to look at young women dancing in seductive naughty ways..even my father in law told me he how he was having the best time of his life ...(until

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning

we were watching The Green ZOne (no connection to the Okie zone) and I had an argument or very brief debate about the WMDs in Iraq with my "christian" mother in law (she feels that it was the right thing for us to invade Iraq because she really believes that Saddam had something to do with the terrorists in 911).. she erroneously believes that they(WMDs) were hidden in Syria!! amazing how

just trying to have a happy family while the global fucking crisis continues! happiness can be so difficult... but happy wife, happy life...Colin certainly is happy.. how do we get that state of equilibrium and balance where we can all relax and enjoy what life gives to us... maybe be a little thankful that we arent in Pakistan or Aghanistan... so for the next few weeks I have to be content

Afghanistan's embattled president Hamid Karzai said on Sunday that U.S. taxpayers were indirectly funding "mafia-like groups" and terrorist activities with the American government's support of private contractors inside his country.In a rare U.S. media appearance, Karzai continued to press for the removal of the vast majority of U.S. private contractors by the end of this year. He argued that

Why do I keep making jokes about squirrels wanting to stay warm in the middle of an Okie winter???If I came back to this after being in Oz, some folks might be happy to see me suicidal...but then it's not 911...no plane crashed into it and no body had to jump out of the building...no terrorists...only squirrels trying to survive...How do you stay happy?? by looking at disaster and triumph and be
