Happy birthday Vince!...stay away fromt eh Grelin's as you call them

Last day of high temps for an bit...most the damage is already done. Would you like ti see three well burnt azealas...and they are in the shade most the afternoon...and an sick looking 46 year old Rhodie..I'm hoping they can pull out of this. If not...first I'll cuse an bit I think, as I havent' got the money to replace my whole front yard basically. Even hubby's turf he got for father's day from steve's grandparents is now got spots of dead grass...they own thier own nursery.

Have my grandkids here today to go swimming in the liitle kiddie pool out back, they have so many young kids now where they live they couldn't begin to get them all in an small kiddie pool ..so my kids didn't set up one this year...so as not to be mean to the others. We were out at their house last night and saw an big "bucK" going across the field..majestic looking

I went to the health club last night and had an
nursing home" moment and it wasn't good...I was disgusted.. and ended up leaving...I made it ot my heart rate and left.  For some reason they have made attachments to me here as of late...and nothing good really comes from it.  It only goes to stir up my temper even more so. Ir's been hard to do..first two times I went there I felt like I was with my brother and not my hubby...then when I am with him, I feel like he's trying to do things for me..or force me to think in his terms...we never get anywhere when we do things on his terms but get further in debt and have very little to account for in life. Ialso get sujected to Miss PIggy"" types frequently...its real hard to have to explain to them to be themselves...and humanitatian at that. It reminds me of Joanie Johnson...who use to bewail her diet to her hubby David, and her sacrifics and then to go shopping iwth her to find her sneaking candy bars and eating them and of course not losing any weight in the process but telling David she was working as hard as she could...while she'd wail an bit longer. At one time I visited an diet center where you went in everyday.....and she asked me to meet my family...so my son and hubby went in...she told them that they make my life so stressful for me that it's no wonder I can't sray on an diet permanently...that if they realy cared about me..they'd "bug off" in so many words and support me...not try to control me and dump me with all theri problems to solve. Which is what my cardiologist told me also...only he says to ignore them,,it would take the rest of my life tryingto change them and they haven't an clue to living in the way of things I need. He tolf me if they have an problem...It's ther problem..don' t solve it fof them...they wouldn't appreciate it anyway. Get rid fo everything I can..so it can' t get messy...and you know if I do that we have even less of worth also. But I have complied with an few things. Hubby won't get in the new flooring for me, to make my work easier...so he does the vaccumming.... or the carpet srays dirty until he does it..we can't afford maid service. So let's see how long he continues being an idiot...and selfish.

I don' tknow how July 4th will go this year exactly....the four days of really hot temps is suppose to break, but rather it will be clear enough when it does to see "fireworks" I'm not sure. I have all three grandkids here at the moment...so better get going.

I just bounced off again..makes second one today...first post was on why it would be impossible to earthquake proof the west coast if the subduction fault should ever slip...and just how trerribly vernerable it is to massive destruction unbelievable to the world. There estimate of 34 Billion dollars of lost... and thousands upon thousands dead isn'teven touching upon the truth. That was only in the state of Oregon...there's at least several other states looking to be part of the over all disaster.

My older sister in-law didn' tmake it through the last three days of her excessive heat and night time severe lightening storms...she's in the hospital...but hopes to be released back to her house tomarrow. Says internal bleeding, but they don't know from where...probably heat related. It's been over 100 degrees and one day 105 degrees and she has no air conditioning...they generally don't need it.

I stayed up last night and listened to coasttocoastam...whose guest was Robert Bauvelt...and both him and Norry have ties of being born over there in the area of Egypt. He wanted to tell his side of the storyas to the problem..he said from basically an fudeal system into that of revolution and military and then believing rulers whom said they were helping the people...to promises...and more promises of help..and it's never come. To finally sayin genough is enough to their Government...and it sounds an lot like what we have been putting up with since Kennedy was assinsnated here in the states. Those with the money being greedy to pocket even more...and raise thier own wages and giving the commoners nothing for the taxes they pay. Not being able to find anyone that speaks the truth also....and little crooked back room deals going on not to the people's general well being. Media being controlled, opportunity also to make an decent living but by certain cliques. They both felt there is the possibilty of the military stepping in...and hopefully not an long lasting coup will take place again.."free elections" something else that they as people have been denied that also..the biggest problem is finding someone that is honest and will actually do something beside hand out promises of an better life. They are having the ultimatime to the present ruler to leave by July 4th. Things may be getting nasty over there to the tune of 14 million people.

I just read all kinds of things are incoming to where by mid-September we will see an world wide change of some kind happening. That the time of "acensention" is now upon us world-wide in the next couple of months astrologically. Many events concerning "water" may occur also...from flooding and what not else. In one case that the "aleins" are now holding the earth from tiliting into the Pole shift.... and hopefully will be successful. If not. don' t know what to tell you to expect. Part of this is that much talked about planet of Niburu is going to make an pass by here soon also.
