PHOTO: Ellis Island 1905//baby m is 17 now the other would be 20//its 42 outside//have a cold
started out the week thinking it would be quiet and uneventful this week, instead its turning into gossip and drama. was supposed to go to a concert and got someone to work and then woke up with a cold. thought i got it from n who was sneezing, but now i'm thinking it may have been from lack of sleep, i get sick from that and the foreign asshole was outside screaming again at 6 a.m. this is over TWO YEARS of this crap from that weirdo. wth? they need to expand the gun laws in florida. she is the total nutcase that also showed up at our timeshare NIGHTLY during vacation this year. that is HER on video. that is also trespassing, she doesn't work there or stay there. totally creepy. another demento.
will have to plan the next concert better. called the fish place to purchase their tarter sauce which is FABULOUS they should package it and sell it. its only sold in the 2 oz cups for 50 cents each and since its fresh how long will it keep? its the best tarter i've had anywhere. love their fish. surprised they don't win anything for it.
was super tired so stopped at the library and fell asleep in my car for an hour! lol. i thought it was 15 minutes. so much easier to do that than to go to the beach or something and nap. felt a lot better after sleeping.
First Ellis Island Immigrant Station, opened on January 1, 1892. Built of wood, it was completely destroyed by fire on June 15, 1897.
Second Ellis Island Immigration Station, opened on December 17, 1900, as seen in 1905
The federal government assumed control of immigration on April 18, 1890, and Congress appropriated $75,000 to construct America's first federal immigration station on Ellis Island. Ellis Island closed in 1954 and reopened as a museum in 1990.
just finished a book about ellis island and time travel. i've actually never been to ellis island even though i worked in nyc for three years, the museum opened the last year i worked there. this book discusses the 3 million italians that came to usa from 1892 through 1910 because the earthquakes in italy at that time left so many destitute and without family members. the catholic church found the children families to sponsor them, and sent them here. they were shipped over in steerage and the voyage took 15 days. it sounds pretty bad. there is a room inside the museum where you can pick up a phone and it will be a recording of an actual person who came in through ellis island back then explaining how it was on the ship and what it was like arriving at ellis island and why they left whatever country they came from. wow!
you can also look up your ancestors if you have relatives who came in through ellis island. we don't. we were actually here way before that, but my aunt's father came in during wwii and then took a train or ship to the south, i guess that would be there somewhere. wouldn't it have been easier to just build more of these federal immigration stations. must be scary to get there and not be sure if you are staying. ellis island turned away 2% and the shipping company would have to ship you back to where you came from at their own expense. the book says the shipping company would coach you before you left, all the right answers to the questions on the test so that you would just go right through the inspections and interrogations. still scary though. at angel island in california, orientals come through there and 20% are not allowed in and shipped back. wth? they detain you first and then ship you back if things don't add up.
started a new book called wife 22 by melanie gideon which is turning out to be pretty good. wife 22 is the name given to her during an on line research study that appears to be about midlife crises - or her's is anyway.
was on the phone with everyone about baby m, not the famous one. friends of stuarth had ivf that didn't take and then had this one that took, but there were problems, so it was transferred to a surrogate. her original parents were killed in a car wreck or something and signed a paper for another recipient to be allowed to take the embryo, so she is like a miracle baby. everyone went on about it in 1999. stuarth even put up a banner, its a girl and people thought he had had a baby. its amazing what went on with that for her to be born. then there were troubles with the surrogate and someone else who had had a baby at the same time who was not from usa. amazing what a mess paperwork can make things. wonder if she knows about any of this. at the same time period that this was going on stuarth had started his attacks on one of the toddlers who was around 3 by then that he was baby sitting and was up on charges at sesame street where he used to work. craig davis was lying for stu at the time, which amazed stu because craigd was a tenant but not a friend. craigd later said he couldn't really figure out what to do. hmmm, if you don't know what is going on stay out of it. and what is to understand. stuarth is an adult and he is hurting a 3 year old, that makes stuarth guilty. so craig says, yeah but its stu's house. SO?! what a fucking idiot. and he is from an ivy league school. grrr. then he says later that he isn't good at things like that. and its like what are you good at? seriously. i think i may have actually said this to him. i do that sometimes. when stu shoved the little girl and the stairwells are double stairwells in phili - big, old 3 story row houses with high ceilings inside - there are 18 steps, he just stood there and he was right there. didn't even try to save her. i ended up jumping passed him to block it, if the stairways weren't so narrow i would have ended up going flying with her. you just STAND there and do nothing? then craigd is saying the one thing he did right is save one of the cats that stu went after he put the cat in his room and later on outside. okay. did you feed him? he says yes food and water. do anything so it could go to the bathroom? craigd just stares at you. you know idiot people drive me crazy. yes craigd they also go to the bathroom just like we do.
bill and elizabeth were totally fascinated with baby m because they had gone through all kinds of crap to have their son 15 years before that. their fascination made the mother of baby m totally paranoid. they had given her stu's name as a middle name and then changed it when they found out how much trouble stu was in and what he was really like around kids. even i was shocked. sooooo nasty and mean and he is their babysitter. totally friendly when the parent is there and then totally changes when they are gone. i hate stu. then it turned out he had been in trouble like this before and stu's parents just kept paying people off. yeah, that really takes care of it. and there he is around kids everywhere he goes and especially bullying around the little girls. he'd done the same to his older and younger sisters growing up and animals as well. so put the nasty kid in dangerous sports and take care of it. don't let him grow up into a total predator. his mother said the reason she gave him a house and basically supported him that way is because she was afraid of him and didn't want him at her house. you don't choose your kids, just like you don't choose your parents. the dramas just go on and on.
