FlowersDon'tGrowInVodka!!!!
Lucky in Love has not been my forte!!! Perhaps it's because of A Venus/Mars Conjunction in Virgo or perhaps because of bad choices - I made in my youth.

Life is full of surprises but I am currently not looking for love. I am at a point in my life where that ship may already sailed.

Life on Life's Terms

I came back West Virginia in 20 because my ex-husband were not well and needed someone take care of him. I can guarantee the ditz that he was keeping company with was more interested in his pharmacuticals than she was him.

Most of the time, my disastrous relationships ended because of other women. Ironically, the caliber of the women replaced me was sad. They don't end up with a happily ever after at all.

WHEN LOVE GIVES YOU EL TORO DOO DOO - USE IT AS FERTILIZER TO GROW SUNFLOWERS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....................

Poor Mr. Gemini Rising. He drove to Maryland and rescued a woman out of crack house. Apparently the man that she was co-habituating with threw her out. He brought her home and I was not happy. She eventually went back to her boyfriend but I wasn't going to stay. Why contend with 'The Bimbo of the Month." Before leaving, I planted Sunflower Seeds ALL OVER Gemini Rising's front and back yards. I planted them all around his house and all around his swimming pool and tub. I planted sunflower seeds in the pots for his houseplants.

I remember talking the Bimbo's old boyfriend. I told him - when Love gives you BS - use as fertilizer grow flowers. His reply Flowers can't grow in Vodka. Apparently the Bimbo had a major league alcohol problem and now she was Gemini Rising's problem. She died two years later from cirrhosis of the liver. This is often caused by large consumptions of alcohol.

Flowers may not grow in Vodka but were sure a bunch of sunflowers growing in Gemini Rising's yard.

Bad Girl Star - 1982 Disturbing The Peace Criminal Conviction
Posted:Apr 28, 2007


It all got started at the Palomino Club in Las Vegas. There was an amateur Nude Dancing Contest, "I dare you," my biker boyfriend Psycho said. Yeah Sure! Like I was really going to turn that Dare down! I got on Stage and won. Later on that year, I won again.

I took a weeks vacation from my hospital job and decided to audition for a dancing job. The Club Owner told me to grab a tray and I officially went professional. Eventually I waved bye bye to the Hospital Job.

Dancing was a great job, I made great money and it was like getting paid to go to the gym.

At the time, I was taking confirmation classes at the local Episcopalian Church. Frequently, I would go to classes just before heading off to work. I didn't tell them that I had changed occupations. The Vicar noticed my attire and commented that he didn't realize that Hospitals let the employees dress so outrageously.

When the Olympics came to Los Angeles, there was political pressure to bust all the hootchy kootchy places. The first time the Vice Cops came in, I was dancing to "Secret Agent Man" - the Last Song was "They're coming to Take Me Away! Ha Ha Ho Ho Heh Heh!" They didn't take me away that time.

I finally did get busted to "That's Amore" by Dean Martin and "Summer Winds" by Frank Sinatra. Maybe the Cops didn't care for Rat Pack Music.

I pleaded No Contest to "Disturbing the Peace!" I didn't go to jail, they made me do Fifty Hours of Community Service. I was sent to the Episcopal Church - Dearie, We know you don't drink. What was the nature of your crime?

Since that time, I haven't even had a traffic ticket. I really really need some Bad Girl Lessons.

Easter?Passover Greetings

I look outside and I can finally see Spring. Some of my indoor plants can finally go outside. West Virginia always has a snowstorm just before Easter.

Ironically Astrologers were needed to determine Easter since it is celebrated the first Sunday after the full moon after the Spring Equinox. This year the Equinox happened on March 20th with the next Full Moon on April 16th.

Passover dates are based on the Hebrew Calendar and the Luna cycles. Passover always falls on a Full Moon Day and close to Easter.

It is interesting how some individuals will stereotype a whole group of people without bothering to talk to them. They get their information on Social Media or courtesy of Yellow Journalism.

According to them - Democrats are pure as new driven snow while Republicans make the devil good or visa versa. Most folks regardless of political leanings are inherently good despite having a few shortcomings.

Personally, I think the two parties balance each other out. I remember when West Virginia was predominantly Democrat. Folks said that if they didn't register Democrat that there would be no one to vote for. West Virginia was the state the flip the electoral college when Bush Junior ran for President.

The State tends to be conservative regardless of political party. During the past decade or so, the state has become more and more Red until it flipped completely during the last Presidential election.

Hillary might have had a chance until she opened her mouth about closing all the coal mines. Messing with someone's livelihood is not a ticket to popularity.

I was at an event last week and a man just out of High School is running for the GOP Excutitive Committee. I've seen him and the other Young Conservatives in action. I assured him that he definitely had my vote. He mentioned that they really wanted me to run as well. I told him that I am way too busy with my activism and lobbying through FCNL and ASFC. He advised me that as a lobbyist, I wouldn't be qualified to be on the committee anyway. It works for me. I would rather see him on it.

West Virginia State Fair. I work there every year. Upon retirement, I am always looking for temporary part time work just for the fun of it. Thus the State Fair in August and the Haunted Farm in October and the polls when we have elections. I also do the occasional Astrological Chart and Genealogy Research. This works best in the Winter when I don't really want to be outdoors.

Welcome to the Supreme Court - Ketanji Brown Jackson

Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmed by Senate as first Black woman on U.S. Supreme Court. 57 to 43 with the help of 3 Republicans.

Why is it that whenever a President appoints a Supreme Court Justice, the legislators from the opposite party have to degrade, belittle, and rake the potential nominee over the coals.

Some of what I observed from the confirmation hearings was beyond ridiculous. There was much ado about the fact that Ms. Jackson defended detainees from Guantanamo Bay. Many of these detainees were held for years without any kind of court hearing or trail.

The Bill of Rights assures that the accused has enjoy the right of a public and speedy trail. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right of criminal defendants including the right to a public trail without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, the right to know who the accusers are, the nature of the charges, and the evidence against them.

Ms. Jackson was a public defender enforcing the Sixth Amendment rights of the Guantanamo detainees regardless of the opinion of others who don't think that detainees deserve those constitutional rights. The worse of the worse have a constitutional guarantee of a lawyer and fair trail. Ms. Jackson was doing her job as a Defense Lawyer. Dah!

I am not sure what kind of gibberish Texas Senator Ted Cruz was babbling about. Is he a Latino even if he says that he's Asian Are babies racist? The Critical Race Theory and debate is an issue among the various local school in the educational community. Has that monkey even been sent to the Supreme Court? I am sure the "Don't Say Gay," circus is on the way to the Supreme Court?

Next there was accusations that Ms. Jackson supports pedophilia?! Say what? I looked up the court case. It appears that a Nlneteen year old man was exchanging photos and texts with teenage girls. He was dabbling with jail bait and got caught but it's not pedophilia. He was sentenced to Elghteen months.

Judges have perimeters that they have to work within. While it is true that someone who views and shares porn is enabling the crime, the guidelines indicate a flve year sentence. Someone who is actively engaging in the crime can be put away for 30 plus years.

There was a letter from West Virginia Senator Capito. She declined to vote for Jackson's confirmation because she would not discuss politics.

Every federal judge is appointed by a president who is affiliated with a major political party, and, therefore, every federal judge could theoretically be viewed as beholden, to some extent or another, Judges must all transcend politics.

I am glad that at least GOP +hree Senators opted to do the right thing.

Yesterday, I attended a Poll Worker class since I will be working as a Poll Worker in May for the Primary Election. The voting precincts each require a mix of Democrats and Republicans along with the occasional Independent as poll workers at each voting place.

If a voter needs assistant - poll workers from opposite parties are required to work together to help the voter. Many of the tasks are required be done by workers from opposite parties. This assures that the election is ran fairly. I am always amazed at how well we work together. We don't discuss politics. It's a "no no," There is respect and not the belittlement that I see in the media or blogs.

I decided to run for City Council in 20. I was dealing with hospice and my husband's health issues in April and May. After he died, there were so many issues to take care of that I forgot that there was an election in June. A barrister friend advised me to "Campaign, just a bit. You might be surprised."

A trip to the local Moose Lodge for a Ramp festival and just talking to folks down town when I was running. I didn't win but I did get 70 votes.

Good People of l Ronceverte Wv. I Chickens within the City Limits. Contrary to what local folks believe. Not all Californians are a bunch of citified yuppies. I grew up in Canyon Country, California. My Paternal Grandparents raised Chickens. I LOVE those Early Morning - COCK-A-DOODLE-DO's

My attitude for the past week or so has been UGH!!!

I could complain about my aching problematic left hip. I don't sleep at night because of it and if I take pain meds, I sleep for days. Thus I am trying home remedies. My GF gave me some Melatonin Bath Salts so I am going to try that along with Tiger Balm. If all goes well it gets replaced in June.

Nevertheless there are always reasons to be grateful. There are folks who have it much worse than I do but it's not a competition so.........FiretrUCK and !@#$!%&!!!!!!

I found the first Dandelion popping out of a crack on my porch. The troll commented that I am too lazy to weed them out. That may be true but I don't consider them weeds. They are pretty and make the bees happy because they can make honey. Afterward they get fuzzy and blow wishes into the cosmos. Dandelions are welcome to hang around my abode all that they want

There have been so many random acts of kindness. I love encountering folks who have those kind of values.

I went shopping and as I was parked in my parking spot at home. I looked out the car window and there was the most spectacular scenic view of the trees against the sky. I snapped the photo for Photo Friday.

Our resources are beyond what we can see.

Scantily Clad Burt - I was hoping to get a big poster but got this little photo instead. My Landlord likes to periodical inspect the place. One time my bedroom was a mess so I locked the door assuring him that there were no unauthorized males in my bedroom He said that he was an authorized male. So I put Scantily Clad Burt on my bedroom door for his benefit. I like him there so he stays.

Spring is on the horizon. Yippee! Our town is getting a community garden and I am getting a plot. I am hoping that sunflowers will grow there. There is the three sisters. Corn, squash, and beans. The corn gives something for the beans to grow on. The squash protects them both from the ground . The Sunflower and pumpkins are just cool. I am looking forward to planting.

The Story of Sushi. It's raw fish which equals bait. Dip it in Wasabi to lure passion. Lure Passion and GET LUCKY.

Senior Activist - Now that I am retired I can follow my true passion which is taking the train to Washington DC and trying to talk sense to the politicians. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't't but I keep trying. Since the pandemic, most of the lobbying is done on zOOm.

SAYMA Bookstore - SAYMA equals Southern Appalachian Yearly Meeting (Quaker Gathering)
I found Neither which most the most adorable 's story about a creature that was different than the others. He went to the land of Neither where he was accepted and all the other creatures liked it better and moved there. I sent it to my adorable grandson.
