nativity fast//s is on line boding fake good wishes//holiday hypocrasy

this is actually friday night, its 62 degrees outside.  i'm eating leftover sweet potato and pineapple casserole.  the easier one.  i buy the pre-mashed and seasoned (cinnamon and nutmeg) sweet potatoes and then add the pineapple chunks and marshmellows and nuke it.  back in the 70's this was the big hit vegetable that everyone wanted.  then boston market started selling it about ten years ago.  people still make it the "proper" way, but this way works too and it tastes the same to me.  yum!  also eating the last of the calamari.  its so so to be honest its better fried - but frying has oil. 
stopped by the other house and fed everyone [the animals is "everyone"] and cleaned up there.  stopped at the hope store.  ate burgers out with j.  not good since i'm on a nativity fast.  i'm focusing on the no anger and no gluttony part the most, but hopefully i'll get better with it.  you also can't have oil, in addition to no dairy, no eggs, no meat.  just veggies, fruit, shellfish, water, wheat.  and the poisons should leave your body.  biblical things generally DO work so we will see. 
did payroll and found the discrepancy, there IS $100 missing from my check for the passed month, so re-sent that memo (100 is nothing compared to working for brokers and lawyers and how much they steal, seriously its scary how many are EVIL in this world).  which brings me to holiday hypocrasy. 
so i'm reading from s, who i talk to very infrequently.  he has become devout christian because of his wife and now his cousin also married a devout christian.  this is amazing because he comes from non-practicing "christians" who are also kleptomaniacs and always were and even WORSE...the stealing part comes from his grandmother and grandfather and was passed along (literally TAUGHT) to the rest of them as he grew up, but he claims he always refused to be involved in it.  so s says to the new member of his extended family, "... only sad that his grandmother is already gone and how much she would have loved to know you."   i want to SCREAM.  you total LIAR!   his grandmother was a thief!  eventually the truth comes out and she will KNOW anyway.  wth?  or are you so deluded living far away from them now, that you don't remember that you come from a family of thieves?   his grandmother could never even recall anyone's NAME and when this particular cousin was little, she was TEACHING HIM to steal wallets from people's purses INCLUDING mine!  wth?  and what a total WEIRDO!  compared to them, most people are saintly.  seriously.  lol.    she never even bought presents for the kids at all, and if she gave you anything, i am sure she would steal it back anyway.  giving, was not something she was capable of.  her hand was always OUT.  who is he kidding? 
its amazing what rose colored glasses people like to see with, especially once someone is deceased.  grrrrr.  he has been AVOIDING his grandparents for his ENTIRE ADULT LIFE and that is what he says to this new person?  this is the same guy that recently went after his wife with a hammer.  makes you think the whole world is going nuts.  its hypocrasy and no, i don't want to know the flip side of this new family member.  you peel the onion and it starts to reek doesn't matter who it is or how much money rich or poor, its always the same. 
that is another thing, that end of his family appears well-off, but its allll stolen.  they owe EVERYONE they stole from daily for DECADES, but wonder when they'll ever give any of it back and that is with a court order.  more likely they would pay off someone to "lose/destroy the court file" then actually do the right thing and GIVE BACK what you stole.  it gets worse so i'll stop.  he avoids alllll of them for that reason and more and then he says THAT to her?  wth?  the only good thing is he isn't in touch with his brother, who is allll of those evil things and MORE evil - more sordid and more disgusting.   you want to think no, they can't be evil, they have a pretty home.  no they don't!  its not their's.  nothing is their's.  everything is stolen.  grrrrr.  
so there is that.  and another divorce, did i mention that?  she was up here a few years ago as well and i'm thinking what are you doing here.  hmmm, well, the connection is to this same bunch so if she is around i guarantee you its something bad.  she drives a new beemer though.  don't let any of them fool you.  syl's grandfather (who was a congressman) was the same crap and worse, they all pay credit cards, so their credit is always "excellent", but they steal and burn regular people and small businesses and worse.  better stop.  sickening though.  let's be honest, we can trade recipe's and photos and cards, but its only because of knowing each other for so many decades.  moving to the other side of the planet is more like it just to keep their taint AWAY.  lol.  was really shocked s said this though, because he has always KNOWN to stay away from them, and he is directly related to this evil bunch.  even his stepmother who he thinks is nicer than his mother, is a "former" car thief.  she used to switch titles on cars and then re-sell them, just as her now husband would forge signatures on people's homes and re-sell them.  they come home and someone else is living in their home and with her someone else has their car.  wth?   this is called "white collar crime" because there is no violence (except their IS violence as well, even in law firm crime there is violence some of the time).

also saw the cat marc, which THRILLED me! he is completely HEALED! yay marc. he also gained weight and looks FABULOUS. i\'m sooooo relieved. i wanted to take him to a groomer or vet to get his nails clipped but he was never showing up when i was home and had time to go. he still needs nail clipping and if someone could hold him, i could do it myself, i just don\'t think he\'ll stay still on his own.

every family out there is \"dysfunctional\" that is why divorce rates are so high, its 80 percent if a person marries under the age of 30.

if a person says there is no dysfunction in their family they are either lying or in denial. lol. easier to stay out of it. i\'ve never understood people who\'s entire social life is merely their family and then i realized they either don\'t have social skills OR are forced to stick with people who they believe cannot \"refuse\" them because there is a blood tie. one of my stepmothers used to say this, ditto on people who show up without calling first to say they are coming and don\'t have an open invite to stop by whenever they feel like it. people like that are making it so they HAVE to be let in. gross.

its the same reason people join cults, to make it so people HAVE to accept them. how about work on your MANNERS and don\'t make yourself so offensive especially the ones who actually BELIEVE that people enjoy drama. THEY DON\'T. drama is fine on tv and in the movies. there is a time and place for everything and that is the time and place for it. NOWHERE ELSE thank you. lol.

helps with my weight you mean? i think it just gets rid of poisons. i used to fast once per week when i was normal weight and then i discovered its the best thing you can do because starvation fasting gets rid of poisons in addition to dropping 3 pounds for the day. drink lots of water. but i haven\'t been able to do starvation fasting in twenty years, because of my sugar level and now because of blood pressure meds. oh well.
