There are 2 ways of exerting one's strength - pulling up or pushing down//p's daughter died
"There are two ways of exerting one's strength:
One is pushing down.
The other is pulling up."
I hope you are pulling up.
bullies push down.
everyone else should be pulling up.
What do you do?
It's officially white pants and white shoes season at church. lol. The ushers have been warned and ordered. lol. Church is PACKED this weekend.
i ran into k at the new house, big surprise. told him i would see him later, and then i couldn't find the ear wash for his cat so i was a no sho. he said he waited dinner and had made a roast that came out perfect. i should have been there by 8:30 and he waited until 9:30. i used to do stuff like that a LOT ten years ago and more, run very late, but this time i didn't even know he cooked and i only planned to treat the cat and leave. turns out alex is in trouble again and is going into a rehab place of some sort. so he is gone. k said it took THREE hours to get the house back to the way it was originally. he also bought one of his cell phone's and now can't get into it (hmm why "buy" a phone from him, when he owes you over $1000?).
i was like, buy a $9 track phone and get the free information (411) and free internet off of it and whatever the minutes are and its YOURS. he won't though. amazing how many people avoid cell phones even now. when the cancer scare started, they all sit there like, told you not to use them without ear buds. probably true - or not at all. what scared me was seeing how many cell phone towers are out there, when i looked for them off the bridge. there should be 1500 feet between each tower and a suburban area, it will be another picketing and need to change the law and whatever that takes. what a mess.
both stalker/assholes were by last night. the one at the new house and the one that stalks the beach house. where do people like that come from. reminds me of one of those science fiction movies where its a disease or the body is possessed, first its one or two and then hundreds of them. lol. in both cases, its going to have to be a camp out in a pick up truck, armed. its called stand your ground. except by 4:30 a.m. i want to nap or sleep, so not sure who is going to handle this. the irs can do it. immigration can do it. can think of LOTS of people with all that stuff. and then there is the mafia /godfather quotes, love those, "

"Don Vito Corleone: There are people in this world who go about demanding to be killed. You must have noticed them. They quarrel in gambling games. They jump out of their automobiles in a rage. They humiliate and bully people whose capabilities they do not know. These are people who wander through the world shouting, "kill me". And there's always someone ready to oblige to them."
so, i missed dinner, but nice to know the dinners are still on. out of nowhere c also called. i don't think its a good idea because of all the crap going on, but its also none of my business. i'm stunned there is so much drama over a house. haven't gone through dealing with menaces for over ten years.
also p called out of nowhere during all of this, didn't expect it. her daughter died of liver failure i think she said. the other daughter died of cancer a few years ago, and two of her other daughters also have head injuries from abusive spouses etc. i didn't ask. she has eight kids (the last three are from her husband before the one that died seven years ago) - she was very out of it at b's funeral as well. she told me later, she didn't know most of the people there. she recognized me, a couple of people from church and her kids and that was IT. she had no idea her husband knew so many people.
her doctor doesn't want her seeing nor talking to any of her kids because her blood pressure goes through the roof from all the mini-dramas when they are around, but the one that just died has been living at her house for about six years and constant fighting, because when her daughter drinks she is combative. p wasn't coherent when i was talking to her, and i get annoyed and i'm like, you aren't making any sense.
she said its from her daughter dying in october, and dealing with it alone because b, her husband is gone. her other daughter is at the house now with her boyfriend and their dog, but will be gone in a month. she KNOWS she isn't properly responsive, can't remember dates, addresses, even her own address, and i wonder what med she is on that in my opinion is making her worse. i do feel for her. last time i saw her i didn't recognize her AT ALL. like she had aged fifteen years - i walked right passed her. same thing with dianet, when i saw her, i didn't know it was her AT ALL. i hadn't seen her in about five years and then she popped up. also d's yard is a disaster, which is amazing because it used to be landscaped with a deck and koi pond. wth?

OK! What am I missing here?????
i hadn\'t put the meme up yet and ds surprised me and let me write below the meme as well, so i\'ll write something. i put the aaaa\'s there to save the page. i\'m still having trouble with ds, like it just erased what i wrote before this.
how are you?
darla, the \"meme\" is the photo up there with the caption on it. they call that a meme.
i think i saw the other c at the library as well, don\'t want to check. he saw js a couple of years ago at the library and thought she was me. lol. i can\'t fault him on that because i do that with people a lot and i have to stop and say, no that must be their kid, by now this person would look this much older. lol. very odd what happens with old age. when its a grandchild that ends up looking like someone you knew who is much older its even worse. its like wow, i\'m reallllly old. lol.
