Just now, on the 11 o'clock news, Channel 13 showed construction workers getting frustrated because places that were just steamrolled (to prepare them for paving..the intersection of Fassett and Oak has been closed for MONTHS) were driven over by idiot-twenty-something drivers, actually it showed a woman in her 20-30's with a cigarette in her hand, watching them steamroll the road to get it ready to pave, ANYWAY, SHE DRIVES RIGHT OVER IT AND THEN THEY HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. The news clip even showed the construction guy shaking his head and talking to his co-worker like he was saying 'Can you believe these people?" and then the chick drives away like nothing's wrong!! OMG - this is CLASSIC East Side behavior and it really pisses me off. I mean, here I am, sitting down and opening my blog and writing about it, it purturbed me so much! It gives all of us East Toledoans a bad name.
Here are some other examples of the ignorance that I witness on a weekly basis:
"Don't-Know-Who-My-Baby's-Daddy-Is" white teenage mothers, with their mixed-race babies all walking together, talking "black-talk" or bitching loudly on their cell phones, with their fat stomachs hanging out of their tight little crop tops, showing how STUPID they were, while collecting welfare, food stamps, and WIC.
Teens and "kids" in their early 20's, hanging out all night long, some on their little teenager bicycleses, being extremely loud and disrespectful, then THROWING THE BOTTLE THEY DRANK (beer/liquor) OUT OF, INTO THE STREET OR SIDEWALK, busting the glass all over the place, THEN thinking nothing of it, laughing. When you ask then to please pick it up, they say back, "F*&K OFF".
Black guys who pull their "privates" out in public and try to get girls attention when they are walking by; THEN some girls actually walking over to them and letting them feel under their shirt...and follow them in the door...not knowing them at all!
Women who have nothing better to do - usually older ladies but not seniors, walking their dog at all hours of the night, making all the neighborhood dogs bark inside their houses, then LETTING their dogs poop in others yards!! (I have a neighborhood lady that does this nightly - SO RUDE!!)
OH there's more...I'll come back to this when I need to let of some more steam. I'd rather write about positive things...And I really do not ENJOY making MY area of town look bad. I have LOTS of East Side pride. I just wish we could ship these LOSERS to the mountains or something, and then we would never hear from them or see them again.
HAVE a NICE DAY! TTR

What religion are you two into these days?
I AM, Joyfully, Don"

FOR A POST ON DON WALTON. MY VERY GOOD FRIEND,
AND FIRST AND FOREMOST, MY BROTHER'S VERY BEST FRIEND EVER SINCE HIGH SCHOOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HELLO MY LITTLE WALTONS!!
(to Don and his new wife, Lori as of New Year's Eve at mignight, 2007)
Ok - now what new thing are you two into???
I wondered why I haven't heard back from you.
Are you two trying a new church?
I wrote you a long letter a month ago...nothing back. WAAAAAAAAAAAA
you are losing touch with me!!! I AM GETTING SCARED!
FYI - in case he hasn't gotten a hold of you, Ron got a job where he is traveling all over the 5 state area. He is doing well and keeping in touch with me at least every two weeks. I AM SO HAPPY.
He works 12 hours a day - he said he has NEVER worked this hard in ANY job he has ever had. But he says he still is a fatty. He says he has a BIG OL' GUT. Because he is eating fast food all the time. They pay for the hotel and they have to buy their own food. he said that even if he did buy food to cook in the room's microwave, that when he gets off work, he is way too tired to cook.
Any way - just so you know where he's at from now until December, here is his schedule: (NOT POSTING FOR PRIVACY REASONS)
NY OH PA WVA, etc..
We are doing fine here. I am unmotivated as ever. Don't know if it's depression or laziness. It's been about a month since I busted ass and got a ton of cleaning and organizing done.
I sold my car - it needed engine work supposedly (Auto Zone guy said he had a car Just like mine and I needed valve work and they are inside the engine. Then I got REALLY lucky and sold it the next day to a neighbor for $200.00, and it wouldn't even drive over 25 mph! Come to find out that it was THE EXACT THING THAT I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO BUY!! A GAS FILTER. IT WAS ONLY 8 BUCKS!! Well it really was a blessing because then, the next day after she got it fixed by her mechanic, the transmission started slipping...it would wait a long time before going into 2nd gear.
So I am going to have about an extra $70.00 a month with no car ins. and gas $$, and maybe can buy food when we need it for a change and/or pay on a bill. It feels very "freeing" to not have a vehicle, but it may also be why i am isolating myself worse than I was before. It could be PMS too.
So anyway - actually there's MUCH more to tell but I don't feel like typing it all.

FOR A POST ON KARL WATKINS, A VERY GOOD FRIEND THAT I MET AT SUNNY'S CAMPGROUND.
A very dear friend of mine, Karl, from my Sunny's Campground gang (he and his wife let us camp on their lot ever since we started camping there for free..) passed away from pancreatic cancer that had spread to his liver by the time he went to the doctor. Once he finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed, he passed away 6 weeks later. He had lost 100 pounds and refused to go to the doctor before that. He just told everyone that he lost weight because he gave up french fries! I just went to his funeral last Friday. I've been pretty sad all week. I was so glad that my (was my ex-friend for the past year) friend Kathy
SEE ROBIN'S EGGS http://www.robinseggs.blogspot.com
FOR A POST ON KATHIE SEBETTO, WAS MY VERY BEST LOCAL/EAST SIDE/CAMPING FRIEND TILL LAST YEAR WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENED..
sent me a letter and told me he was sick or I would have never had the chance to go and visit him and tell him how much he meant to me before he got too sick. I just don't understand why none of those people ever called me for a whole year, but I am sure glad we are back in touch again.
If you get a chance to call - like if neither of you feels like telling me everything that"s up with you in an email, the best time to call is AFTER 2 pm...I've been staying up all night and sleeping most of the day - that's my dream life...till school starts anyway. My daughter is gone most of the time with her boyfriend and his family. She just got back from going to Disney World with them for 9 days about 2 weeks ago!! They are very nice and John's (her BF's name: John Toth)Mom comes to pick her up and drop her off all the time.

It was my kid. She came in, argued with me when I asked her why she hadn't checked in with me since 2 pm then went to bed. So I sat here and waited up all this time just for that. I'll name my ROBIN'S EGGS posts, but then will work on them this week.
I'M GOING TO BED.

Blog-City is a nice place to live, but it's sure gotten EXPENSIVE!
This is what my Blog USED to look like:
I really miss it. It was called toledoeast.blog-city.com.
I really miss it. It was called toledoeast.blog-city.com.
I could add music that would play automatically depending on the entry (like a theme song) , we could view our posts in WYSIWYG, preview, or standard HTML , and photos & music we're stored on their servers, so that if we chose to use something again, it would post much more quickly. The best part was that you USED to be able to completely design your entire layout: no "widgets", no templates if you chose not to have them, and no limited fonts. It was great, for 3 and a half years. I am now going through withdrawal.
I left Blog-City for good, about 2 weeks ago. The price to pay had become too high. Although I had the premium membership which was $3.50 per month, the option to stay there for free was always available. Then came the "takeover"...
Widgets were forced upon us, unless we chose to forfeit support. That meant if I were to choose to keep my unique layout, that took YEARS to perfect, I would lose any possibility for available assistance. I felt betrayed.
To make matters worse, a monthly fee of $4.50 was imposed with no option to choose. Long-time faithful members were told to "pay up or get out". I had no choice but to leave. A yearly fee of $54.00 would take away two Christmas gifts from my child in the long run.
So if you ever pass by a blog at Blog-City, think of me, if you would, and all the wonderful, cleansing posts I had there. And, please, give my regards to the Mayoress.
