<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Extremely Poor Judgement in Men</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Married Douglas E. Leinen in 1966 - we met when I was a senior in high school in Cheyenne, Wyoming and he was 19 out of school and working for a company that sold window furnishings - drapes, blinds, etc. His mother hated me... a perusal of pictures of the both of us at that time might point at a reason for that because I was never anything but polite and modest around her. My own mother did not like the relationship because of my age so she shipped me back to Seattle before the end of my senior year. In any event that put an end to the relationship until several years later after he had joined the navy and I had married, had a child, and divorced. He drove his car to Seattle and we got back together when my first-born was about two years old. We got married shortly thereafter and nine months later, almost to the day, my first set of twins was born. Life went on until one day when I asked him if he would adopt Eddie so he could have the same last name as the twins. He said no - his reason to me: Because if we ever got divorced he would have to pay child support for a kid that wasn't his and in any event he could never feel about Ed the way he felt about his own... that was probably the moment I started hating Doug. I have never been able to understand that attitude but have since learned it is prevalent among men as apparently anything that doesn't come out their own sperm isn't worthy. On New Years Eve when the twins were about six months old we went to a party and both were feeling no pain by the time we got home. He got lusty and guess he felt it was ok to rape me as I tried to sleep. That resulted in another pregnancy since he hadn't bothered to use any birth control or wake me enough so I could use some...within two weeks I knew I was pregnant and I even knew I was having another set of twins... intuition. When I told him he said I had to get an abortion. Well, while I support any woman's right to do so, I would never have an abortion. He berated me brutally for eight months to get an abortion, threatened to divorce me if I didn't (not possible legally).... I gained a lot of weight, was sick, miserable and developed toxemia of pregnancy which killed one of the babies three days before he was born. Carrying a dead baby in your womb is an experience that is indescribable. Life after that was hell. Doug spent most of his time away, did not help with the children at any time, told a counselor "she wanted to have them, let her take care of them." And, oh yeah he was shacked up with a clerk at the used car lot where he worked. I caught them together. We got divorced a short time later. As far as the child support he was so worried about paying... in eighteen years as the father of three children he paid a sum total of $62.50, one time, full stop, ONE TIME - this is </b><u style="font-weight: bold;">after</u><b> a judge told him to pay through the court... the amount he was supposed to pay was $210 a month. </b><b>In a short time the house was repossessed as I could not make house payments and support four children on my own. </b><b>And to boot, a few years later his mother Emilyn Milstead put lies into the minds of my boys about their mother. So am I bitter, you are damn right. I understand child support rules have changed a lot since that time.... back then a man could and did get away with not paying. Oh, but the icing on the cake, when Doug died he left his SONS several tens of thousands of dollars. Nothing to his daughter because she had used drugs in high school - the hypocrisy of that is stunning.. the boys did share with her which is an indication that they did not inherit the perfidy of their father.... and nothing to me after screwing me out of over $45,000 in child support. Quite a trick eh Doug? I hope you're rotting in hell right along with dear old mom.</b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">"Normalizing" in a Nutshell</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Occasionally I'm surprised to find many do not fully understand the term "normalizing" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, it does mean to make things normal but it's more than that. It means to make things SEEM normal that never have been until someone with money and power decided to make it so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll use TV as one example. This is what TV used to mean:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8viA-2qjvXYfzw_zgUIHZ89Z55palvrnMuVQjCpiEeuC-hDCD01qdekldaRuiuWxPCH5MztnaAyX4DbpXNZbxy3PFs-Fb1FIGTCfxCu278EsyiuE_IhCcXahyB6vLSYxh3xKdvRrU40/s1600/old_TV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8viA-2qjvXYfzw_zgUIHZ89Z55palvrnMuVQjCpiEeuC-hDCD01qdekldaRuiuWxPCH5MztnaAyX4DbpXNZbxy3PFs-Fb1FIGTCfxCu278EsyiuE_IhCcXahyB6vLSYxh3xKdvRrU40/s320/old_TV.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You would purchase this object for around $200, bring it home, plug it in and immediately have access to every television channel available in your area. Free access to every one of them. No more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now you go out, pay many hundreds, or even thousands more for a flat piece of technology that you hang on your wall. You're not done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In order to get programming you must subscribe to one or more "services" depending on what kind of programming you want and in many cases you'll have to pay more to not include a flood of ads along with that programming. You'll need to pay upwards of $70 a month to many hundreds a month for the privilege of streaming something to that flat screen that just a few years ago would have been free, paid for by advertising ... now you get the streaming AND the advertising.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To millennials and all future generations, this will seem "normal." It is and it isn't. It's normal now because they've trained people to accept it as the price you must pay to watch ordinary programming with the cost rising as you decide maybe you want to watch sports or science or programming for kids, any of a variety of choices.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The geniuses who bring you all this "entertainment" sold this packaging to us so long ago it is now considered "normal."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just another chapter in the ongoing saga of "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got rid of my TV several years ago when they started demanding we pay for a tiny bit of programming and hours and hours of ads. Even streaming programming through my computer will cost extra if I want to add anything other than very basic shows that are either invariably very old, or tripe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another good example of normalizing - cell phones. Not that long ago you would acquire a telephone, bring it home, plug it in and have a basic monthly fee that was only extreme if you made a lot of long distance calls. Sure, it usually had a cord and you couldn't take it with you. So what? Because they have "normalized" the idea that you must have a phone with you every second of every day. What has it added? Nothing but people driving distracted, mothers shopping while paying zero attention to what their kids are doing, people walking with their eyes glued to that tiny screen because my God, be un-tethered, what a thought. Everyone must know exactly what you're doing, where you are, what random thoughts are in your mind every single moment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Be aware, your phone is also making a map, accessible to anyone with a computer, showing where you are every second, how long you were there, and to whom you talked. Leave your phone home. We did it for generations and guess what, no one ever died because they didn't have a phone. Sometimes "convenience" is a trap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not saying technology is bad, I'm just saying it's being overdone, overdone to the detriment of ordinary people and the enrichment of those who make us feel incomplete, unimportant, "not with it," or out of touch if we do not possess the latest gadgets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take some time to find out exactly what this convenience, all this instant gratification is costing, not just in terms applicable to you, but what is it costing the planet? What is it costing the environment, our health, loss of societal norms in terms of being aware of what is truly important? We are moving away from each other, not listening, not hearing, not seeing - there is nothing before us but a tiny screen which claims our attention even in the presence of that which is truly vital.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Jail</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I did spend a night in jail once.. it was a little town in Oklahoma, just over the Texas panhandle. My boyfriend at the time, his name was Mike, we were both sixteen, we were on our way to the drag races in Oklahoma. Drag races were big in that part of the world, and indeed in Cheyenne there were drag races every weekend which we always attended. We weren't arrested, the cops just saw the license plate (Wyoming), thought we looked a little young and pulled us over. Now this was Oklahoma and they have pretty heavy accents down there. The officer kept asking us "do you folks know where you are?" We kept saying yes because we thought he was asking if WE knew where we were. Turns out "you folks" were actually our parents.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, they stuck us both in jail since they probably didn't have anywhere else to put us, separate cells of course. Filthy, two-inch thick mattress, no blanket, no pillow. They called our parents and his folks drove down to get us next day. I didn't get in trouble, mom just asked me what we were doing and I told her, driving to Oklahoma for the drag races. She mentioned how she thought that could be a little dangerous for people our age and next time please tell her before I decide to make any journeys like that. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I never got in trouble for anything when I was a kid, mostly because seriously I didn't do anything wrong. Well, when I was eight I stole a candy bar out of the grocery store in Lake City. Mom asked me where I got it because I stupidly left it on my dresser and she knew I had no money. I told her. I was driven to the grocery store, made to stand in the checkout line, tell the clerk what I had done, give her the candy bar AND a quarter (my next week's allowance) to pay for it. Quite possibly the most humiliating day of my life to that point. Result though, I never stole another thing in my life. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Why didn't I just lie to her and say someone gave it to me? Well, in my mind even way back then lying was about the second worst thing next to murder. I figured anyone who would lie would do anything and time has proven that to be a very astute observation. </span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Okay, So There's This Tree</b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is located at the far left end of the back yard and so over the summer I have watched this thing grow. Last year it was a twig. I sit on my steps listening to the birds, checking out the garden and the tree.... for some reason this year it decided to grow like gangbusters.... now over twenty feet tall with some branches reaching out at least thirty feet I'd guess, thankfully mostly on the neighbor's side. This is a maple of some kind and really a pretty tree; however, it was starting to shade my yard... particularly the large Hisbiscus growing on the left side of my yard and a smaller evergreen in the extreme back left.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I'm fuming because the neighbors don't pay any attention to their yard so probably haven't even noticed their tree. Now I'm scheming how to reach over the fence and cut off some of the more offensive shading branches when they're not home. I did in fact over a couple weeks manage to lop off several branches without disrupting the shape, endangering the health of the tree, or being noticed by the neighbors, and I was pretty proud of myself for how stealthy I was at doing it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So yesterday I happened to be in the far back left side of the yard transplanting something and while down close to the ground I glanced to the right.... the tree, the damn offender, is growing snug up against the fence, but it's on my side of the fence.</span>bugbytelovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02968961157862621445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184765389091046400.post-11208410726451317102019-09-15T04:44:00.000-04:002019-09-15T04:44:10.679-04:00<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>VAPING</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">My neighbor vapes. Of course I didn't know what that thing was the first time I saw it over a year ago.... just thought it was some new way to smoke that didn't exactly look like smoking. Had no further curiosity about it as once you get to my age and have encountered so much "new" stuff people suddenly become enamored with it is nothing more than boring.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing I have known and understood for a very long time is that water, particularly warm water that has encountered anything organic is the greatest environment for bacteria to grow in known to man. That info is so old school I am flabbergasted by the big surprise so many people seem to have at the "sudden" really deadly illnesses they are are coming down with after vaping for a while. Hey, you are sucking in old moldy water and that's going directly to your lungs. No big surprise there. It's old, really old science.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So what are wise men doing? Why spraying more tons of pesticides all over the earth, air, water.... No doubt most of us will be a long time dead before they realize once again how very stupid this is....</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pesticides of course kill everything so I'm pretty sure they wiped out every predator of these mosquitoes a long time ago.... wasps, spiders, birds, bats.... you name it, they've killed it.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>But of course big ag has been wiping out vast colonies of beneficial insects for years in their quest to make sure not one single piece of produce has a bruise or bug on it.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Years from now, they will suddenly "realize" if they had just left nature alone, man would never have been the sole cause of these kinds of disasters. When you think you're better than Mother Nature, you pay. But wow, those poison companies are making money hand over fist.... they are stacking it up so fast I doubt they have time to get it into their offshore accounts. They have donated so much to politicians they've been given permission to use even more deadly poisons, spray it from airplanes, murder every living thing, including people.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My grandmother, one of the world's great gardeners but I may be prejudice never put a drop of poison in her garden, neither have I. I plant herbs and flowers to attract beneficial insects, feed the birds, leave piles of brush for helpers to hide in, know that bats come out at dusk scooping up vast quantities of bugs... it's their job.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>But man again, in his relentless drive to prove himself knower of all things has not read or understood the words of wisdom from such as Rachel Carson or John Muir...no, the only thing man knows is kill. Such stupidity is impossible to understand, more impossible to forgive.</b></span>bugbytelovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02968961157862621445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184765389091046400.post-90280505168267346972019-08-22T05:22:00.003-04:002019-08-22T05:22:56.326-04:00<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>dogs in crates</i></b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Anyone who thinks it's okay to keep dogs in crates, EVER, has got shit for brains. Please don't get a dog, get a stuffed animal. The only time dogs belong in cages is when you're taking them to the vet. A dog is part of the family, not something you stuff in a crate so it doesn't get your furniture dirty.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This stuffing dogs in crates for hours is relatively new, no doubt started by people who sell crates. Dogs do not belong in cages, or chained up in the backyard. If a dog isn't part of your family, I repeat, get a stuffed fluffy plush animal. You don't deserve a dog.</b></span>bugbytelovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02968961157862621445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184765389091046400.post-43845580050844048682019-08-21T09:14:00.000-04:002019-08-21T09:14:10.546-04:00<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good God CNN, what happened to your brain?</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Just read a "federal report i.e. tRump's buddies in the power business" on CNN saying to keep your home between 78 and 85 degrees. Sure,if you want to make sure you and your kids catch every cold and flu that comes along. Helps tRump's buddies in the pharm industry too - all those sniffles, colds, and flu - sure does.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Even 78 is way too warm for a home.... keep your home between 67, and maybe 70 if it's REALLY cold outside.... heat encourages the growth of everything from mold to respiratory distress to sleepy brains and sloth. But boy, it sure helps the power companies!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You will be healthier if you maintain lower temps in your home...if you are chilly, put on a sweatshirt or a sweater. Hard to believe that some people still think cold weather, even cold damp weather makes you catch colds and flus...bullshit... viruses do that and they grow best in heat. Even bacterial infections thrive in heat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here in Lancaster PA the winter temps can get down to zero and often do.... my indoor thermometer never goes above 70 and that's rare, it's usually set at 68.</span>bugbytelovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02968961157862621445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184765389091046400.post-25827389126814909842019-08-20T11:31:00.000-04:002019-08-20T11:31:17.955-04:00<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Well hell</b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I forgot to make a "bucket list." I guess starting over at age six is out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Went Marlin fishing early 20's... big exciting activity, unless of course you're the Marlin. Caught a big ole Swordfish, beautiful fighter, bright blue colors in the sun. Bruises up and down my legs, the fight was worth it. For me. Not so much for the Swordfish. His body turned grey once he was mounted on the side of the boat.... they stuffed him and put his colors back. Not so exciting after all...regretted it the moment he died. For my entertainment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So soon old, so late smart.. had a friend who used to say that..too bad I was too dumb to listen. Killing wildlife, killing any life is unnecessary... that includes cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens, fish or any other living breathing organism we kill for a taste on the tongue...and that's all it's for because human beings have no requirement for meat, dairy, or eggs...NONE.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Went vegan three or four years ago, never been healthier. Am off ALL medications with exception of thyroid. No more high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux, restless leg syndrome. No more.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On another note, worried about climate change or just mouthing the words? Animal agriculture is the single biggest contributor to climate change... millions of acres of forest, jungle, desert land have been destroyed, are being destroyed in the name of grazing animals. Millions upon millions of gallons of water lost to animal agriculture. What would the animals do? Well, if we stopped breeding them, they'd live normal life spans, just like we do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If I had one bit of advice after decades of living, it would be "go vegan and do it now."</span>bugbytelovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02968961157862621445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184765389091046400.post-31992327145544800022019-08-10T12:54:00.003-04:002019-08-10T12:54:55.449-04:00<br />

How to Achieve a Perfect Driving Record</h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Got my first driver's license at the usual age of 16. It was January and I was living in Cheyenne, Wyoming with my mom and my uncles L.C. and Bill. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Uncle Bill and L.C. - They teased me mercilessly from the time I was two until well, they never stopped. They took me out in the snow and ice that is always Cheyenne in January and taught me to drive. The only time they stopped laughing was when they were telling me what to do. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I paid attention because the one other thing I knew about them was that they loved me unconditionally since the day I was born.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pay attention to driving, NOTHING else- know what is in front of you, beside you, behind you at all times.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Maintain a car's length for every ten MPH between your car and the car in front of you. If someone wants to pass, let them. Stay in the right lane unless passing and really, why pass? If you have to though make sure the road is clear many car lengths ahead. Never pass in rain, snow, sleet, fog.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Always signal when passing, changing lanes, turning, pulling out of a parking space.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>When driving on snow or ice, NEVER stomp on the brakes. If you must stop or slow, tap the brakes gently. You should be traveling between 5 and 10 miles below the limit under those conditions in any event. </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Never accelerate on snow or ice. Slow and steady does it.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pull to the right and stop if you see or hear lights and/or sirens coming from either direction.</b></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Those lessons gave me - so far - 56 years of driving with no accidents and no moving violations. I'd say Uncle L.C. and Bill did a damn fine job.</b></span></div>
