I spent Mother's Day Weekend in West Virginia caring for my Ex-Hubby who is recovering from his third Heart Attack. I can think of better things to do with my weekend but Life on Life's Terms. I feel a responsibility for the Old Grouch and I always will. My older called and let me know that he sent Flowers to my Abode in Virginia Dang, my apartment faces Main Street so the predictable happened.
I wonder if the Flower Thief gave the Flowers to his or possibly her own Mother, If I were that Mother, I would be appalled. I would rather have dandylions and wildflowers from a Parking Lot than have my compromise his intregrity by gifting me with ill-gotten flowers. Oh Well, Life on Life's Terms. I contacted the Flower Shop and they will be replacing the flowers. The Flower Thief will end up in a 12 Step Program, have to make amends and progress.
I wish the Thief would have stolen the Flowers sent from the Texas Dufus who smashed my heart to smittereens. I should have thrown those flowers in the Trash Can.
Namaste and Happy After Mother's Day to ALL

Last Thursday, I went to Work at 4 AM. After work, I drove to West Forgotten By Santa Virginity and joined BareHunter and the Rotary Club in picking up trash along the Road. It was gratifying to see the roadside become pretty and appreciate the Mullein, Chicory, Dandy Lions and even the Brier.
I was hoping for a nice romantic weekend but to be quite honest, we both fell asleep.
Later I got a call from my ex-hubby. He advised me that he was in the hospital and that his girlfriend disappeared with the contents of his wallet and his Fire Bird. Could I stop by the house and pick up his cell phone charger and the is tied up outside with no food or water.
Thus, I've spent the week in West Forgotten By Santa Virginia babysitting the and driving over the boarder to the Commonwealth of Virgins to work.
Ex-Hubby had chest pains in the Doctor's Office and they called an Ambulance. The Police located the Fire Chicken and it's parked at the Hospital in Low Mar. He was transferred to a Hospital in Salem, Virginia for an Angioplasty. He is being released tomorrow Morning. He wants a cigarette and He want to drive his Fire Chicken back to West Virginia. Hasta La Vista Darlin! I am glad this week is almost over.  In another week, I can transfer to Lexington or 
 I am tired of his Bimbo Treadmill

The Serenity Prayer and the Unofficial Boss at WallyWorld

I have an "Unofficial Boss" at Wallyworld. It's become a standing joke among my "Co-Workers" and even my "Real Bosses". When I first started at the job, he took it upon himself to check and criticize my work. He has become a real pain in the Gluteous Maximus.
I have dealt with Workplace Bullies in the past. I actually lost a job when I tried standing up to one. When I applied for unemployment - the employer protested with their lawyer saying that I was mentally unbalanced and imagined the abuse. I won the case by taking the lawyer's legal forms and doing them better than him. It got fun going toe to toe with the cheesy lawyer but what a hassle.
The next time it happened. I simply found another job and left. I gave my employer proper two weeks notice and when I went to start the new job, it was no longer open. Gadzooks!
Now the situation repeats itself so it's up to me to take the lessons of the past and apply them to the current situation.
This brings me to the Serenity Prayer
God Grant Me SERENITY to
ACCEPT the Things I CANNOT Change
I can't change this man or his Agenda
COURAGE to Change the Things I CAN
This is the challenge. If I DON'T Stand up to him, his behavior will esculate and the job will become completely unbearable. On the other hand, If I don't handle it correctly, I could lose my job.
WISDOM to KNOW the Difference
My past experience have taught me that telling him to take a flying Whoopee in a Rolling Bagel may not be the proper way to handle him. Quitting the job is not the solution. WallyWorld does have an OPEN DOOR Policy which means talking to the real bosses but that can backfire too.
So............. I'll ignore him tomorrow and keep repeating the Serenity Prayer.
God Grant Me SERENITY to
ACCEPT the Things I CANNOT Change
COURAGE to Change the Things I CAN
and WISDOM to KNOW the Difference
At a crossroads in the countryside, there stood a temple
wherein was enshrined a statue of god carved in wood.
One day, a man was pursuing his way when he saw a ditch
before him. So he removed the statue from the temple and put it down lengthwise
to span the ditch. He stepped on it and crossed over. Then another man came
along. Unable to bear the sight of the statue lying in the ditch, he propped it
up and carrying it back to the temple restored it to its pedestal. Thereupon the
god accused of him of failing to burn incense and at once cursed him with a
splitting headache.
Bewildered, all the lectors of the Purgatory Judge asked
the god: "The man who trod on you had gone unpunished; yet the man who helped you up
has been cursed with a headache. Why?"
"Well," the god explained, "you ought to know that the kindhearted
people are the ones you can bully."

My Ex-Hubby's Pregnant Junkie????

Maybe I shouldn't laugh. It's politically incorrect to laugh but I going to laugh anyway.
Ex-Hubby calls me with all the woos in his current relationship. This is a sixty eight year old man involved with a 34 year old practicing addict. I keep telling him to go to Ala-Non or Nar-Anon regardless of the fact that She needs to go to Rehab. If he doesn't he is getting exactly the kind of relationship that he wants.
So He calls me, her cycle is Three Weeks Late and he hasn't done anything to be Daddy. How can he get discreetly get her pee for a Preggy test.
I suggest that perhaps she's tacky enough to not flush the toilet. Dah! So he got the Results.
Heh! Heh! Heh!
Last night he wanted to know where they could get a marriage license that doesn't require a blood test. She says she's afraid of needles. I have a sneaking suspicion that she is more afraid of the results.
I told him that since they cohabitate - a blood test might not be required. He and I did not need one when we were married.
"But we are not cohabitating because we are NOT having $ex."
It don't matter because you are STILL cohabitating even if you are NOT having $ex and will not have it even after you marry." I advised him.
Sometimes Denial in more than just a river in Egypt and Me thinks that "Ex-Hubby is swimming in it up to his eyeballs!"

Should I transfer to WallyWorld in Hawaii?

Yesterday, I was on the cell phone talking to my older in Georgia telling him about all the wonderful sites in Lexington, Virginia.
I told him about working at Wal-Mart in Texas and Nevada but found it difficult to adjusting to a land with no Forest, Hills and Rivers.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Grantsville, Georgia sucks because there is NO BEACH!" Josh replied.
"Well Josh, you fell in love with a Peach and you have to be where the Peaches grow." I advised him.
"They only grow in special kinds of soil," He
surmised.
I told him that I can work anywhere I want because there are WallyWorlds all over the United States, and I am thinking of transfering someplace exciting like Alexandia, Virginia or Florida or perhaps North Carolina. Maybe even Georgia.
"Why Not Hawaii," my suggested. Heck there is even a Wal-Mart in China but you might have to learn Chinese. Naw, I don't think I will move to China but Rhode Island is a possibility.

My Wild Date In Lexington, Virginia

We kept planning this Date but due to his work schedule or my work schedule, the date kept getting cancelled. Life on Life's Terms
so................. Earlier this week, I decide to go on my date to Lexington WITHOUT my date. 
It was a georgous drive. Virginia has calm and rolling hills versus the raw rugged beauty of West Virginia. There was a period where we drove through a mist into the History Energy of Rockbrigde County.
First we went to the Lee Chapel at the Washington and Lee University which contains the mortal remains of Robert E. Lee, his family and his Traveller.
A couple from Boston was also taking the tour. There was many interesting questions - many of which I knew the answer to. What type of flowers are on the Sculture of Robert E Lee? It has to be Woods since the Wood is the state Flower of Virginia? The reason there are so many Lemons on Stonewall Jackson's Grave is because he used to suck on them during battle. So folks toss them on his grave to honor him. Virginia was originally named after the English Virgin Queen Elizabeth. The Virginia Flag has a scantily clad Goddess Virtue stomping on the head of the tryant England. Ironic.
I also advised the Bostonians that if they visit Montecello, they also check out the Hampton Inn Parking Lot which is buried the Mortal Remains of Thomas Jefferson's Slave Mistress - Sally Hemmings.
"Dang, you must be from around here," the couple commented. Nope! I'm from Los Angeles.
Later on I went to The Daily Grind for a Romantic Cup of Coffee. I called the Scorpio and told him what a great time we had on the date that he wasn't really there. I described the wicked game of footsie that I would place while we were at the Daily Grind.
Later on, I called A Capricorn Friend who lived in the Area. We went out for Chinese and I told him the adventures of Sushi and Wasabi. Sushi is raw fish (Bait) and Wasabi is Passion thus Sushi is a way to attract sensual encounters of a passionate nature. We went to a 12 Step Meeting after dinner but didn't follow though on the Sushi Adventures (Work Realities)..........
Oh Well, He'll have thoughts to ponder upon.

Cell Phones, Winterstorm Driving and A Leap Year Proposal

Last year, I was in Texas during Winter Storms and glad that I was not in West Virginia. This year I am in Virginia during the Winter Storms and Glad that I am no longer in Nevada.
HOWEVER this weekend, I had plans to spend a few days in Renick, West Virginia. It is usually a beautiful scenic drive from the Virginia boarder to the rustic town of Renick, West Virginia EXCEPT when getting caught in a Winter Storm while driving there.
That is exactly what happened to me last evening. My plan was to get off work, go to a 12 Step meeting in Lewisburg and Bee Bop over to Renick.
It started raining in Virginia, oh well, Leap Year Showers bring Spring Flowers! As I crossed the boarder in to West Virginia - the fluffy white stuff started falling down. My thought was, "I need to stop at the Welcome Center and use my cellphone." As I approached the Welcome Center - there was a Travel Home that was blocking the entrance with flashing lights. I bypassed the Welcome Center and the snow kept coming down.
When I arrived in Lewisburg, I stopped and called my Scorpio Gentleman Friend. He was not at home so I called his cell phone. "I am bypassing the meeting and heading stright to your house, Darlin," I advised him.
He advised me that he was at Wal-mart and right behind me. Soon the roads were blanketed in white snow and I could barely see out of the windsheild. I quickly realized that I was in trouble. If I attempted to drive any further, I would end up in a ditch in the snow. I called the Scorpio and told him that I was parking the car at the Airport. He offered to pick him up in his Four Wheel Drive. Deer were dashing across the road as he was driving. This can be really dangerous especially in snow. Happily, I made to Renick safe and sound.
This morning, we drove back to the airport to pick up my car. The Sun was shining and snow on the roads all melted. "This is the way snow should be," I told him. Snow should be on the hills and trees enough to make a pretty scenic view but off the road.

Leap Year and Marriage Proposals - Joe60115 the Ivy League Hottie

February 29th is tradionally the time when Women Propose Marriage to the Men. According to Legend, St. Bridgit complained about the unfairness of it all to St. Patrick. Thus St. Patrick declared February 29th the Day when women pop the question.
According to Scottish Law, If the man declines the proposal - he is required to pay a fine. That fine might be a pair of silk stockings or a trip to a Clothing Optional Beach...........
So.............Joe Darlin, Shall we commit Matrimony? Your Masculine spendor is marvelous inside or outside a Groomsuit.

Last week, I looked at my Work Schedule and "Woo Hoo!" I have Tuesday off but have to show up for work at 4AM Wedneday Morning.
It has been several months since I've gone to the "Old Fart" Dance in West Forgotten By Santa Virginity. So.............I called a Scorpio Gentleman Friend and asked if he wanted to go.
Alas, I checked the Weather Report this Morning. Lots of Fluffy White Snow on the Horizon - Thus Hasta La Vista "Old Fart Dance and Scorpio Hottie. I'll call for a "Rain Check" or perhaps I should call it a "Snow Check!"
It would not be practical to dance all night, contend with the snow in order to show up for work at 4am.
Come Spring, I am getting a tent with my WallyWorld Discount Card and I'll Dance In The Forest.
