I am finally able to breath! Life is GREAT!
Claritain has become my personal drug of choice. For anyone suffering from allergies, TRY IT!
Ignore me, I'm on an oxygen high now & LOVING IT!
For anyone who does not suffer from allergies, runny nose, stuffy nose, itchy throat, itchy eyes, watery eyes, routine sinus & ear infections, I hope you realize just how blessed your life is. Speaking as someone who lives with all the above, life can be absolutely miserable on a routine basis.
Anyway, my nemisis has uncovered even more trash. They have burned more wood, had 5 more recycling experts over to gather their gleanings, and had yet 2 more construction site size dumpsters delivered. If it wasn't so necessary, I'd feel sorry for the poor bastards. As it is, my allerhies are bad enough that I am glad they are having all to pay for this. Though I am not so evil-natured that I don't hope the junk yard & recycling experts give my neighbors enough to help lessen the financial bite.
On another topic, my job searching is going no where fast. I have sent out resumes left & right, via mail, email, & fax, plus a few hand delivered, but gotten nothing back beyond an offer at a local branch of a university located at The Marine Corp. Air Station as an adjunct faculty position teaching English. If everything falls in to place, I'll start doing that this fall at the earliest, but spring is more likely. Joyous happiness.
I am not happy right now. It is too damn hot & yet according to my sister & mother it is barely comfortable. I am dripping sweat & they are wearing pants> AAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!

Allergy Grumps
Been in allergy hell & only today have I been able to wear my contacts for more than an hour at a time. Since I do not have glasses, life has been complicated a bit.
1 of the neighbors (catty-corner from me) had DHEC called on them. Instead of jail time, the neighbor’s agreed to clean up the trash and remove dead trees. Not a big deal, right? HA!
So far, they have had the following hauled off in the past 2 weeks -
6 construction size dumpster’s,
3 vehicles ,
1 medium size boat,
2 of the Wal-Mart sized fishing boats,
3 flat-bed truck loads of tires,
AND scrap yard reps have been out daily to haul off their finds.
They are still not done! The crew cleaning out the sheds are also tearing down the sheds, tarps, and what-not, revealing additional layers. I have not talked to 1 of the neighbors who have not had exterminators out, because the snake, roach & rat population has been all trying to relocate as well. The cats & dogs are bringing home presents. 3 guesses how often you hear someone shrieking. As of Wednesday, they started burning. This previous Monday, they took down 4 trees and mulched those.
I have been unable to function and my nephew and mom haven’t been far behind. Itchy, sneezing, watery swollen eyes, rashes, coughing, stuffy nose, I can’t recommend living this way. The good news is that they are getting to the end and I am able to see again. Claritan is my friend. Yippie!
But, I have posted some humor below, so enjoy.

What ingredients are mothers made of?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

1. Moms work at work & work at home, & dads just go to work at work.

If you could change one thing about your Mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my Mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on her back.
THE MOMMY TEST
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth.
I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.
"Why?" my daughter asked.
"Because it's been laying outside, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?" "Uh,"...I was thinking quickly, "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy." We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. "OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy." "Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face and joy in my heart.
"Dear Lord," the preacher began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..." He would have continued, but at that moment one very obedient little girl (who was listening carefully) leaned over to her mother and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mommy, WHAT is butt dust?" Church was pretty much over at that point...

Blonde Joke
The pharmacist walks into the store to find a guy leaning heavily against a wall. He asks the blonde clerk "What's with that guy over there by the wall?" The blonde clerk responds: "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire bottle of laxative. "The pharmacist yells: "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with a laxative!" The blonde clerk responds, " Of course you can! Look at him, he's afraid to cough."

Some Other Random Thoughts
I had a dream involving an ex and it was beyond bizarre.
I was working in 1 room, handling phone calls, dealing with paperwork, cooking, all sorts of basic chores. And in another room my ex was sitting, woprking away, completely oblivious to my existence. However, without ever turning around, looking up, anything, he casually remarked that all I needed to do was wait a bit longer and then he would have his divorce and he'd come get me.
Since ALL of my ex's have disappeared into the wild blue yonder to 1 extent or another, this is highly disturbing to me. I mean, really, when the 1 I almost did marry has basically run away from home to the point no one in his family is even sure when he left, that says a lot, you know? It does not help that most of my dreams are not so vivid that I wake up crying or have problems realizing that I was dreaming. Another disturbing detail is that I can still recall details after 2 months. Normally, I can not recall my dreams, and that also implies that I actually fell into a REM sleep. Since I have been sleeping with my sister and have cut back on the pain killers & muscle relaxants, REM sleep has been hard to get.
I was working in 1 room, handling phone calls, dealing with paperwork, cooking, all sorts of basic chores. And in another room my ex was sitting, woprking away, completely oblivious to my existence. However, without ever turning around, looking up, anything, he casually remarked that all I needed to do was wait a bit longer and then he would have his divorce and he'd come get me.
Since ALL of my ex's have disappeared into the wild blue yonder to 1 extent or another, this is highly disturbing to me. I mean, really, when the 1 I almost did marry has basically run away from home to the point no one in his family is even sure when he left, that says a lot, you know?

Total Randomness
Let's see -
1st, if you look up sorcerer hunters, the complete collection, under amazon.com's dvd section, you can find that bit of info.
2nd, if the posting about age & memory wasn't so true, I think I would not have laughed so hard.
3rd, I would cheerfully maim someone for GOOD Chinese. What is here is Beaufort is NOT something to write home about.
4th, the odds of my having children are decreasing on a daily basis. As I posted before, I am living with my mother, sister & nephew now. I love & adore them all. It is my mantra every morning when I get up & every night when I go to bed. But as I watch the various levels of hell my sister goes through raising her son (my nephew) and I wonder why people want children.
Let me make clear that I do like children. They are a lot of fun, can say some truly amazing things, and I adore watching them (within reason). What boggles me is hearing someone say that they are not complete because they have not had children. That until they can carry and give birth to a child, then they have not fulfilled their God-driven purpose during this life time on the planet. The people who go to the baby section of stores "just because," and have their still-to-be conceived child's life planned out through the poor child's 1st 3 jobs after college. Those are the people I do not understand.
For myself, I have never shared in those feelings and have no baisi to comprehend them. To add to my confusion is how I watch parents whom I respect and listen to their fears, joys, worries, and hopes & wonder how they cope. I listen to new parents' talk about the education their child will/is receiving and how they worry about the outside influences. What the news and talk shows & hear all about the ways a person can be killed or maimed and personalize it as it happening to your child. The list goes on.
And that's today's random thoughts.
