Thanks again for all the love and positive energy for Son and myself.  I swear i dont have some Trailer Park version of Munchausen's Syndrome but my damn frail dog is making a comeback!!! 

Roomie and I are absolutely in shock.  Sons been arthritic and wobbly and not able to walk on stairs for years, besides his crappy lungs and tumors and the Vet saying he would die 7 months ago..  He has ramps off the porches.  This past Tuesday he really started getting shakey on his feet and by Thursday even when I would hoist him up on his legs he couldnt stand.  He was sleeping alot, no interest in any food(which is unheard of) or water and when he would hold his head up it was tilted at a weird angle.  We hadnt witnessed any seizures but were thinking maybe a stroke.

When i went to the Vets Thurs to get the usual refills on his pills we decided on just enough to get to Monday, thinking that was a longshot.  I even asked Roomie to call and make the cremation arrangements.

Roomie himself almost died in a terrible accident years ago and his body is f$#ked so he cant help me lift Son at all. I cant on my own. Our friend the chickenwoman came over and spent the night Thurs, she helped me carry Son outside to pee but we couldnt get him to stand so he wouldnt go.  We got him back inside and ordered a pizza.  Times like this call for a lot of food and some beer.  When the pizza came Son started sniffing the air and ate his treats and some pizza.  We got him outside again before bed and he was able to stand for a few and take care of business.

Friday morning everyone was gone by the time Son and I got up but i was able to help him wobble outside.  He ate a bunch more treats turning his nose up at his dry food.  I bought a bottle of petfood gravy  but he still wouldnt eat it.  So i made him a peanut butter sammich and he scarfed it down.  He is getting finicky towards his treats and wont eat all kinds now.

Today hes almost back to where he was a week ago.  Still wobbly, I spot him when hes up but hes walking around and seems alert and comfortable.  Got him some canned food i mixed with his dry and some turkey breast and he ate a huge bowl.  Hes ready for another but i'm letting it digest for a while.  The cats smelled this concoction and where hovering like two little furry bastard vultures.  Bad Frank even nudged Son out of the way.  Have no idea whats going to happen next but i think we have a little more time. 

Evil HR from my now exjob left a message on Friday, they want to talk to me so they can fix what went wrong for the future.  Think i will call them Monday so i maybe i wont get totally screwed on a reference but most big companies anyway are afraid to say more than confirm employment dates so i'm not too worried.  If Son and his gianormous bills are sticking around for a while going to have to find another job fast.  Today would be a good day to win the Powerball.

It happened again.  I quit my job.  Hung on as long as i could because of the money but its a waste of life to dread every single day.  I wrote that on the exit paper.

 I called in the last two nights using my final sick day and getting a demerit on my permanent record for the second so i took some time to think things over, didnt just walk like when i was younger and much more impulsive.   I know i hate all jobs but some are extremely awful, i'm not the only one going day by day there.  Overall earning a lot less money at the next job will suck but relief feels great.

In a twist of fate Sons poor old body has started shutting down so i need to be home anyway.  He's had some close calls before but today he wont even eat any treats and he's having a terrible time walking.  I've talked to the Drs and we're all in agreement to hold out a while longer but I dont think he's got another amazing comeback planned.  He doesnt seem to be uncomfortable, sleeping most of the time. I've been crying, roomies been crying and Frankie the douchebag is still trying to smack poor Son around.   Franks been warned to just wait until he's dying.  Paybacks a bitch.

Free lunch has left the building. 

 Got up Friday to find a chewed cell phone charger cord and note from roomie that said something about the next cute Princess blog photo should have it wrapped around her neck.

 Someone as popular as Roomie can never have too many phones.  The man just  bought him a fancypants Beekiller 600 phone.  He loves it and i thought thats what The Princess attacked and Roomie would get w$#k to buy a new charger but she chewed his personal phone.

The replacement cord was $32.  Thank you Princess thats 32 less chances we have to win Powerball.

Things were back to looking up after the mail came.   There was a postcard addressed to Mr and Mrs Rustymadgal offering a free dinner at Sizzler if we sat through a fun presentation on how to reduce our utility bills up to 55%.  No Gimmicks and No Pressure! 

Now i have never been a Mr or a Mrs but Roomie and i could fake it for a free Sizzler dinner.  Yum yum.




 All was right with the Trailer Park until I read the fine print on the reverse side.





Bastards!  We use utilities too, when they arent shut off.   Where did they think they were sending that postcard?

New topic, but this story in our local paper really stuck in my head. Two Search and Rescue horses wandered off during a training mission on the mountain but Search and Rescue couldnt look for them because they are only supposed to search for humans.  Beats last month when someone was advertising for 10 lost homing pigeons.

I am absolutely devastated.  This morning I got a Momail out of the blue from some hoochie named Faith.


From: faith4love
 My homepage: http://dallas.motime.com
Subject: Hello
Date: 16 July, 2007 - 15:13

Hello my name is Faith,iam a pretty, tall and attractive looking young girl, after reading your profile,i will like to have a relationship with you, you can write me at,(faith4love1x3@yahoo.com) we can start from there, also i will send you my picture, i will be waiting because i have something VERY IMPORTANT to tell you, take care and lots of love,God bless you. faith!!

Apparently after reading of my love for George Clooney, cats and chocolate she will like to have a relationship with me.   Very flattering, who doesnt like to be thought of as attractive?  And she has a VERY IMPORTANT secret to share, no doubt concerning getting her familys wealth out of Nigeria.  Trustworthy I am. 

So here I am all aglow and I find out the motramp has a blog and apparently any port in the storm will do.  I thought I was special and we had something these last 2 hours even though I never answered.   Never again, damn you Faith, damn you!

Well i ended up getting ripped off by the International Video Pirate in Toronto.   He submitted an echeck to Paypal for my refund and a few days later they informed me it bounced.  Never heard of an echeck before.  E must stand for empty, as in my bank accounts empty,  screw you eh.  The time limit to file a claim is way over and now his email is shut down but Paypal did say for me to call them.

It hasnt all been the worst of times.  I've just enjoyed 4 days of free lunches.  Free food being one of the better things in life, it just tastes better when someone else buys

Thursdays lunch almost doesnt count.  My job made another 6944 billion in profits last month so someone went out and scraped up roadkill all week so they could have a cookout at breaktime.   Menu was mainly dead animals but i did get some tater salad and Pringles with jokes printed on them at no charge except for my soul.

Friday my favorite exboss took me out to lunch. He only lives here in the summer these days and i havent w%$ked for him in over a decade but i love that i can still send him an email saying,  "How are you, I"m hungry" and get lunch.

Saturday  Roomie and i went to a restaurant his friend owns, so not only did Roomie buy lunch but his friend sent over free beers.  So those beers were like free squared and extra refreshing.  

Things werent looking so good on the free food front Sunday.  I went to Quiznos for a sammich to go resigned to paying for it myself.

The cashier thought I was with these two young guys ahead of me in line and charged them for my sammich.  He tried to give the guy a refund so I could pay but the guy refused and bought my lunch saying someone had bought him lunch that week.  I didnt mention that two people had already bought my lunch that week and he made three.   A really nice kid.  I left feeling kind of good like maybe I had retained some cuteness despite the eye wrinkles but then i wondered if maybe i just reminded him of his mother.

Its not the first time I've been hit with a  Pass it On kind of deed.  Just before Christmas in 2000 I was waiting tables at the greasy chopstick Chinese buffet place.  I would w%$k open to close without any other waiters and just run my ass off. 

It was really busy one day and this couple asked the owner to get me as they paid.  The husband started off telling me their names and that they were pastors and really blessed and he went to hand me something.  I figured it was one of those Jesus loves you tracts but it was a $100 bill.  We could all use extra money but it really wasnt one of my broker times in life.  I tried but they wouldnt take it back and they also had left a tip.  Later  I was telling one of my friends about how nice that was and he just said that I must have looked extra pathetic that day.  Asshole.
