Lost my post..and yes...Peggy's words "to the UK" are highlighted in blue as is James date in his post of "21st".....is highlighted also Ron, but it's showing up in other web sites I go to. this reminds me of the work Cliff High does...he has an computer randomly generated to pick out words, under the pretext when they are all put together they form an message about the future days ahead. He does this in context with the web site called "Half Past Human" but you have to belong to it to see his future predictions and they are pretty accurate some times. I read anmessage someone had linked from himover in earthboppin an couple of days ago. The thinking here is that some of the unsual words they pull out is the "consciouness" of our thoughts telling future possible events. See what I mean about not letting people know how pyschic you might be...they like to do "tests" on you to prove your abilty. California had an 5.3 earthquake last night that was in an locked section of the San Andres Fault...they are checking things out now to see if it will generate an bigger one perhaps..near the infamous "Parkfield" area. No one hurt but everyone on edge down there this morning.

Last night was an sad one as half the parking lot in an candle virgil took place last night in town here for an murder of an 21 year old worker there and her body found at Larch Mountain. Remeber I told you guys last week this time about the oil spills here on our street and then going into town to see yellow paint spots that stopped just before you got to "Starbucks" coffee shop....well, that's where they held the candlight virgil last night. She was 21 years old, and her current husband reported her as missing when she didnt' show up for work last Tuesday morning...she worked at Starbucks in Wood village near the Walmart store...where they later found her abandoned car and some kids mid-week found her cell phone behind an Troutdale Apartment house....and then her body on Larch Mountain yesterday....they arrested one Johnathan Daniel Holt for her aggrevated murder. She looked like my sister in-law "Karen" that died last Spring of cancer.  Getting to be just palin crazy in the area any more. I had went last night to get us some food at Taco Bell when I had to drive past this candle vigil....and off in the distance around Larch mountain an huge sky wide ligthening strike took place...I think that God was unhappy..or letting us know his "energy" was present. If she was unhappy in her marriage...her husband never mentioned it. One of the weirest and most " still" nights feeling ominous was all about the area last night during this memeorial to her. Very sad. I hope they find out the story of what happened...and do you think the yellow paint I saw last weekend was them or this guy "partying" perhaps after having taken something maybe...like drugs or had been drinking. The color was suggestive of an road crew but you could plainly see it didn't belong to one of them.

my abilty to see my microsoft news home page was taken away from ne also over night...so I can't see any of the latest news...so they apparently don't want me to form any opinions about what's going on in the world?

I decided to come back in here...as I was reading the story of this gals murder in the newspaper....from what it says...she was not officially missing until she didn't show up for work Tuesday morning..

I saw the yellow paint on the road last Sunday....but get this one will you..maybe just an sectanicity..however that's spelled...but it says..as to this 350 people light virgil...about 20 of her co-wrokers showed up wearing yellow scarves, which they said symbolised hope and optimism. She did apparently work here in the Gresham Starbucks, though her car was found down near the Wood village one.  they sounds like they got this guy Holt on his fingerprints in the car perhaps and other places..some of her personal clothing wsa found in an trash bin down near teh Walmart store...sounds like he maybe raped her perhaps...she was an Jehovah Witness church member..whose entire church worked with the police department to find missing leads to her disappearance. I just thought this color of "yellow" I saw that just aprbtly stopped outside that particular Starbucks days before she came up missing was unusal last week. Kind of late now since they've found her dead body. Her accuser lived in the same apartment complex.

Hi all.

We had a humongous storm last night again. As I was going to sleep there were 2 lightning strikes very close together and very close to the house. The 2 thunderclaps were almost as one just about causing me to have to change my underpants and bedsheets!

There seemed to be no damage but the internet connection and phone were dead. i reported it via text to the service provider and it took 4 more texts to get an answer about 20 minutes ago. He said all was well his side and the system showed there was nothing plugged into the receiver.

Turns out the input port I was using on the intelligent switch had died. I changed the plug to another port and everything came alive. I wish he had told me that 8 hours ago then i wouldn't have got frustrated and angry with him. Anyway all is well.

The storms along the eastern seaboard around Port Elizabeth (look it up on Google Earth) were so ssevere that roads have been washed away as well as houses. There is now a lake in the middle of a suburb which has left many houses under water. I sure the weather pattern which did that doesn't plan on moving a few hundred mile north and clobbering us in Natal Province! it has been bad enough here but nothing like the PE area. I just wish the sun would shine for a few days so I can get my laundry done before I run out of clothes!

I hope all is well with all of you and sleep well or have a good day depending on where you are.

Cheers

Not so good Syd....bad morning....I got kicked out of my son's house, after verbally attacking him and everything in his house, just after

I went otuside finding an package of nearly full cheese snacks I had bought the kids in the trash container....I thought I'd give them to the

birds....went outside went to get off the first little step they have and

slipped my shoe on the edge of it, lost my balance and went crashing down hard on the enrty way decking. Cuss...you havent' heard anyone cuss like an sailor until you hear me mad and angry and losing my temper...after several vain words of "god-dammi"t over and in pain...everyone looked outside, but no one helped me up and so it was I helped myself up and into the house I went and really didn't let down until my son went to pick up an tennis shoeto throw at me..and I said..you do it that your gonna pick your ass up off the floor kiddo...he only told me to get out of his house instead. I told him no problem...God doesn't live in this house..no reason for me to be here...and left. Had this been my hubby with his leg right now, it would of probably killed him to have an fall like that....but even me with an heart stent...I'm taking it prety easy right now checking I didnt' do any damage to it either. I don't think they can give me an MRI because it's made out of metal...they have come close to my heart checking out the blood flow one time but stopped before going that far up my body. At any rate, if I had an cholestrol deposits...they were well loosened up by now. You know something...Srah pays so much dam attention to her "homework" when she's home that she is not really fucioning as an mother any more...and it makes her terribly tired when she's not doing it. to make up for that she is literally throwing out anything in her path to be callled "cleaning house" these days...she took down the Christmas picture of last year finally and put up one of the pictures of the kids instead...I should of picked  it back up as I liked the picture. I see why the kids going to college just literally put thier lives aside for their education...but then again...in the case of being married with kids...it don't help it much. I know an kid that tried to do this route..he was trying to be an lawyer... and he ended up in an divorce also. His wife was pregnant with an second kid and working full time...and last time I talked with him, he felt really bad...as it was getting to his family life... or his college degree and he wanted both. Do no tth eprofessors realize that whiel homeowrk is important these people do better work if they aren't hounded in it every night and every weekend? Can't they all get together and make one weekend an "free" no homework weekend? they would have better students if they would....as an exhausted and tired one has need of sometime to "rest" also...Imean that physically and mentally. As it is grandaughter was supposedly with divorced friend named "Chris" taking care of his daughters...and youngest grandson was with the neighbors as per ususal....and we took the other grandson home from being with us yesterday and last night. They ar emissing these kids growing up....and later on if they do anything wrong...it's going to be an lot harder to deal with them. Sissy is now entering high school...four years and she will be out and on her own also. There's not to much "family" of anything going in thier house right now. It worries me. But right now I'm so sore thatI can't really worry about anything. Hubby pulled an goodie on me also this morning and wants to get on my stationary bike...well he didwhen I wasn't there to be around him. He wants to start driving again and I asked him to wait it off until this Wednesday's first out pateint therapy is done and if he feels good...thereafter go ahead.

I found an possible car...about $4500 and large sized Kia model that looks like an van...has 110,000 miles on it..looks good but it's not an good gas  mileage car at all. About what an pickup would be. 1991, but looks much newer then that. Senora or something of that make. If I could come up with an $1,000 of the money and borrow the rest it might be do-able for now. I refuse to pay Maco of Gresham, $1500 to $2,000 for priming the pickup for an $399 new paint job on it. It's not worth it..with the miles it has on it either. I told hubby..maybe we could this summer wrap it ourselves and paint if with black primer ourselves on the outside and leave it that away for an bit. My other idea would be us see if I could vinyal the top and the hood in black leather looking fabric..like our 70's cars use to have...remember those paisely topped cars back then?...heh? In this case I could even do an navy blue job on it. I checked with the car companies to find out they do sell matching paint...but it's really expensive by the can to say the least. At one time G. I. Joes stores use to sell and paint induced car wax to use to make your car look better also. But they went out of business some years ago. finally last but no least..sports cars you can buy hood leather "Bra's" as the call them to protect the top of the car. I don't know if they do this fro trucks though these days...but again something like that and the top done in leather vynal and it would look better and then the side of it touched up..it would probably work as long as the truck will last now anyway...but in the meantime I'll be leaving all options open in reguard to the price of two replacements. We use to knwo kids that did car painting...but being hispanics an few of them are no longer around exactly. Nate did something interesting with his El Camino...he took black electrical tape and made it look like an jigsawof shapes and painted insde of them red/white and black along the sides and added an bed liner in black, and left the top of it the whitecolor it was. He has same problem,,,not to many funds for expensive car paint dealers. whiel this sounds wild..it don't look all that bad...he chose and darker but bright red for this effect. I wonder if he got the idea seeing car races...where the flags are often checked black and white with red to them. At any rate it is not an glaring bright light bulb red. So anyway...if I can get myself up and going again today....I hope the ordeal heals itself over in days ahead. Who did I see driving down the road toward me but "JC"..in an red sports car of some kind. Reson I said his house was didn't have "God" in it was because of the kids rooms that looked like they did months ago and an bomb had exploded in the center of the room with clothes all over everywhere. Beds heaped up and unmade and probably they've been just grabbing an blanket and laying anywhere they could to fall alseep...dog feces on the rug in sissy's room so cement hard and dried ...you know it has been there for an long time. The bible says next to "Godliness is cleanliness". We do not have the money right now to have what we spend trying to help them thrown out the door either.

a few other blue highlighted and twice underlined words...on the forum page the word family history....on the log in and register page the word of chat...and they added in my first long post the word of "Marriage" also. It' s my understanding that as of tonight an "9/11" number two plot... was foiled in Jordan....and Beruit is in mass fighting over the assination of an leader there..they say by their prime minister. So the world is indeed is having it's problems and not just me alone this time. I am resting quietly for the moment and hoping any pain I have now is gone by tomarrow. I have an area near my stent that feels slightly sore to the touch...so I am taking things to eleviate that also. Since I have the meds here in the house to do so..hope it goes away of it's own accord. Heals. Things return to normal once again. Still looking at cars for sale also. I doubt we could ever find one at an car dealer's lot...they just don't sell them at the lower pricse in this town....they have never been to reality based which is why many of them have went out of business in comparison to the past.
