My "One Saturday Mornings" (for the last 10 years)

"ONE SATURDAY MORNING" Disney cartoons have been a tradition with me and my daughter ever since she graduated from Barney and Sesame Street children's programming to regular cartoons, and for both, we have always watched them together.
Either with Oreos and milk, or potatoes, eggs, and toast, or curled up in a quilt on the floor or the couch.
Now that My baby girl's 16, we've, just this year, stopped watching them together, but I still love them so much, I set my alarm so I can be sure to get up to watch "my cartoons". Even the re-runs...

The best period of time was when they still were broadcasting "Doug" and "Pepper Ann" in my opinion. If I had cable, I could still watch some of the old ones.If you enjoy any of these cartoons too, please write and let us know what your favorite episodes or cartoons were!

WHEN THESE ARE OVER, I CHANGE THE CHANNEL OVER TO WGTE "Qubo" cartoons for an hour...till the morning concludes for me at 12:30 pm. The Power Rangers weren't too bad, (I watched them for about 6 months) I just happened to like those last two "Qubo" toons better.

Jane and the Dragon


and


Jacob Two-Two








THEN..sometimes I'm lazy and fall back to sleep for an hour or so, or sometimes an afternoon movie begins at 1pm on FOX and I continue to lay on my fat lazy butt and watch that.

W.I.T.C.H. was shown for a short while. I thought this was AN AWFUL cartoon to show children. That's all our kids need is to want to become witches!! Thankfully it didn't last long at all.


Jane and the Dragon Song Lyrics


There once was a lady in waiting
Let's call her Jane.
That girl wasn't ordinary-

No way for me a lady stuck in waiting
I'd rather battle fire-breathing dragons
I knew I could prove that a girl could be a Knight
Though my friends all laughed at me
but...

I wouldn't be discouraged and trained in secret
Then a dragon pinched the Royal Prince
and everyone was freaking
So I went alone to the dragon's home
to slay the dragon

Hey now, hey now now

Jane and the Dragon are best friends now
Dragon's sweet, he let me save the young Prince
Then the King made me a Knight apprentice

Hey now hey now now...

With Dragon's help I'll be a Knight someday

Composed by Martin Kucaj

VAN HALEN, thanks to my brother, I'M GOING!

This was so important (to me) that I posted it on BOTH of my blogs:

....Cleveland: Quicken Loans Arena
OCTOBER 10, 2007

I'm so excited I could cry.

I still have to find a hotel under $50.00,(my little brother's treat as well!), I have a plan of just about what I'd like to wear (ruffled-front shirt, short motocross-type black jacket, straight-leg Levis. etc.)...the planning and anticipation is ALMOSt as fun as the event itself, I think.
I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT.

Any of you other readers going to see them play this tour?
I can share some awesome tracks with you to help get you psyched up!
LET ME KNOW!

OH AND WHAT A RELIEF
...after I read this story, I don't feel so bad about going to a concert, making signs to hold up, & rocking out at 48 years old:



Eddie Van Halen, Acting His Age

As we grow older, so do our icons. Suddenly the latest "hot young things" seem barely legal (Keira Knightley, Lindsey Lohan) and Keith Richards' decomposition is finally somewhat age appropriate.

And, although apt to grumble about our own advancing years, we also make excuses for ourselves. We don't tend to be as forgiving of our objects of idolization. If they show their age, we mercilessly take note of every sag, every wrinkle. If they try to hide it with makeup, dye or surgery we tend to disparage their refusal grow old gracefully. In short, we want it both ways. We seem to expect our icons to always just shine on as is, forgetting that the camera can be unkind to someone who has lived in front of the flash for a few decades.


(AP)Still, it was jaw-droppingly upsetting to see this photo of Eddie Van Halen come across the wires from Sunday's Oscar after parties.

This is almost too much to bear. 1984 - both the album and the year - may have been two decades ago, but in 1984 Eddie Van Halen was generally agreed to be the hot Van Halen brother (sorry, Alex)... at least around my junior high. And he is over a decade younger than the afore-mentioned Mr. Richards (who has been considered the extreme example of an aging rocker for about a century now).

At 51, Van Halen has had a rough past decade or so. He lost his mom, split with wife of 24 years Valerie Bertinelli, battled alcoholism and cancer and weathered so many reconfigurations of Van Halen that even I'm drained. Also, he's never traded on his looks; he staked his claim on his guitar wizardry.

This time, let's give him a pass -- let's remember Eddie in 1984 and remember that after what he's been through, he's a survivor in 2006. But maybe we can have it both ways. We can agree to look at Eddie with a forgiving eye, but maybe Eddie could agree to tame the hair, see a good dentist and stand up straight. And maybe we can hope, just a little, that the rumors about Van Halen being the next "Rock Star" reality band are true.

RAINED OUT: the Hungarian Festival and MY LIFE

East Toledo's famous annual Hungarian Festival is still going on, but without me. I am SO DEPRESSED! True, it has been raining off and on all day, but I talked to someone who is already there and the festival is still going strong, and plenty of people were there milling around, buying awesome Hungarian food, listening to great music (a friend of mine, Bill Leonhardt, who played in Pictures, my band ex-husband played bass for, is playing drums in another band at the festival today. I REALLY wanted to go and listen to them! AND see a BUNCH of people who I haven't seen in a while - that's the MAIN ATTRACTION of the HUNGARIAN FESTIVAL!)..until 9 pm tonight in fact. I called anyone I could think of that might want to go with me, and that could pick me up (since I no longer have a vehicle) and had no luck. One person I knew That might want to go with me, had already left for it, one person was working, another one who offered to take me and hang out, either decided to go after telling me he wasn't going because of the rain or isn't calling me back, or went and didn't feel like getting me now, and the other two are evidently avoiding me because I know they have their phone with them and didn't return my page or cell call.
(sigh)...This reminds me of last winter...
The Hungarian Festival is actually the beginning of Fall for me, because after this festival (Ethnic Festivals = Summer here in Toledo)it's the Greek Festival, the weekend of Sept 8th, then school is in (our's starts August 27th already!!) and the Fall just flies by, then the cold weather starts. Before you know it, it's Halloween, then Christmas,(Christmas has become SO STRESSFUL for me with family shit and lack of money to make my daughters holiday something to really look forward to) then the THREE UNGODLY MONTHS OF DEEP DEPRESSION FOR ME, when the only thing that makes me feel better is eating.(I still have ONE MONTH to get off 5 pounds, almost impossible for me when all we have to eat is crap in the house and no money to get fruit and healthy food, and get under 200 at least!)Throughout the winter, I don't hear from anyone, no visitors, no calls, no going-out, nor do I have any extra money. (Hell at this point, I probably would give-in and go to the bar just to be around some PEOPLE!)

But....the NASCAR Race up at Michigan International Speedway (about 45 minutes away) was rained out, and that was the only other thing I had to look forward to today. In the past 5 years, I used to AT LEAST be up at Sunny's Campground, camping behind Karl (who passed away last month) and JJ, trying like hell to talk someone at the campground into driving up to MIS to LISTEN to the race and be in the mix! I didn't even go camping in the past 2 years,(except once for my daughter's birthday out at Maumee Bay). Anyway, the race is supposed to re-air tomorrow at noon. The forecast says rain for the next 3 days so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
The "Hunky" Fest will not be postponed. They are all partying right with the rain. This is it for the year. And this is my life for this summer.

I need to find a friend that LIKES ME. And I need a boyfriend even worse (I'm finally READY I DO BELIEVE), and I need to get my finances in order (Oh I have a water line leak, a mushy area in my grass too - it looks like I have a leak in my pipes and that costs about $1,200.00 to fix, my neighbor, Victor said..that's all I needed to push me over he edge. Time to sign up for counseling again....

GEES! I HOPE THIS IS PMS! I HATE TO THINK I HAVEN'T PROGRESSED AT ALL THIS YEAR! I'm still spinning my wheels.

Ta Ta for now,
TTR
PS. Please pray for me.

Channel 13 news: thank you for exhibiting what IDIOTS LIVE IN EAST TOLEDO

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'S UP WIT' ME (a memior) from letters I've written this week

"Through each person under the sun,
Let the Will of the Creator be done,
Namaste, Shalom, As-Salaam Alaikum;
>>>I have never heard of these names for God.
What religion are you two into these days?
I AM, Joyfully, Don"

THAT'S HOW HE SIGNED HIS LAST LETTER..

SEE ROBIN'S EGGS http://www.robinseggs.blogspot.com
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.

SEE ROBIN'S EGGS http://www.robinseggs.blogspot.com
FOR A POST ON JOHN TOTH, FROM POINT PLACE; WHO GRADUATED FROM MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL THIS PAST JUNE,AND IS VERY TALENTED, INTELLIGENT, CUTE AND NICE.

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.
XOXO g'nite, TTownRobin

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 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.

Just a few things I miss about living in PENSACOLA FLORIDA

THINGS YOU LEARN WHEN LIVING IN THE SOUTH:


Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in the South.

There are 10,000 types of spiders.

All 10,000 live in The South plus a couple no one's seen before.

If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.

Onced and twiced are words.

It's not a shopping cart; it is a buggy.

People actually grow and eat okra.

Fixinto is one word.

There is no such thing as "lunch." You eat Breakfast, Dinner and Supper.

Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two.

And they do like a little tea with their sugar!

"Jeet yet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat yet?"

You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is.

You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.

YOU KNOW YOUR FROM THE SOUTH IF:

You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

You use "fix" as a verb. Example: "I'm fixing to go to the store."

All the festivals across the states are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

No one wants an angry burglar.

You know what a "DAWG" is.

You carry jumper cables in your car . . for your OWN car.

You only own four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco and ketchup.

The local papers cover national and international news on one page,

but require 6 pages for local gossip and sports.

You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."

You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and Christmas.

Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as"goin' Wal-martin" or off to "Wally World."

You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good pinto-bean weather.

A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor.

Example: "What kinda coke you want?"

Fried catfish is the other white meat.

They don't need no stinking driver's-ed... if your mama says we can drive, we can drive.

You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from The South

(and those who just wish they were, OR WISH THEY WERE BACK "HOME", LIKE ME).

POSTED IN MEMORY OF MY EX-MOTHER-IN-LAW,

whom I think of OFTEN:

MATTIE EMMA WARD

(WHO IS UP IN HEAVEN NOW, WITH MY OWN MOTHER,

and they never really hit it off - hope things are better now!)

Why Doug didn't call.. and WHY IT'S A GOOD THING

Another pissy, dull day. Better than being dead tho....

Doug didn't call I found out, because they guy I met with him up at the bar on Doug's birthday,
Tim, died. He called me yesterday, all broken up and teary, to let me know that Tim had shot himself in the head and was dead. Sad. Things were really shitty for that guy, I was saying
how much Tim was complaining that night, and I didn't want to go back the night time he
invited me because I didn't want to hear Tims bitching again...here it was something he
needed to do. he needed to vent and for someone to care. Maybe not me,
I barely knew the guy, but maybe for someone not to mask his problems in alcohol,
but maybe to show him a better way to move on. he must not have found a better way
and decided that nothing was good for him here anymore. he supposedly drank
3 bottles of booze, say on the edge of him bed at his parnets home
(who lives in Florida now I guess) and shot himself in the head.
They found him with his shirt up, and Doug was thinking that maybe
he tried to stop the bleeding because he didn't die right away.
Here is his obituary: http://www.legacy.com/toledoblade/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=19201555
I went to the guestbook to leave an entry and the family deleted it.
It mentioned about Tim reaching out, and being sad and depressed,
and they MUST HAVe thought that it was innapropriate. GEES MAYBE
THEY FEEL GUILTY BECAUSE DOUG SAID NONE OF HIS FAMILY
EVER KEPT IN TOUCH WITH HIM...not his brother Ray or his Mom anyway.
Not so much as he had to sleep in his truck for part of the 7 months
here was back up here in Toledo...(Doug said that Ray wasn't even
going to go to his memorial (yesterday). Ray is one of the guys that my
ex-friend Kath dated a year or so ago. He's a bar-fly too. )
Seven months ago, Tim left Florida where he lived, after he left his wife
whom he caught fooling around on him after 9 years of marriage,
and who he told me, wouldn't let hm see the kids.
I'm not saying that none of it was his fault, I only wish I would have
listened a little bit more instead of not wanting to be around him
because he was so negative. I am still pretty pissed about the family
deleting my entry, so I wrote another one.
http://www.legacy.com/toledoblade/GB/GuestbookView.aspx?
PersonId=19201555
If you knew Tim laBounty - above, is the link to the condolences book.
I pray that Tim did not feel any pain-he'd had quite a bit before that
...May God rest his soul.


And here is just a forward I recieved about WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE;
I kinda liked it...
WELL SHIT - I CAN'T GET THAT THING TO POST SO
SINCE I LIKED THIS BETTER I'm POSTING IT INSTEAD. DAMMIT.

HOPE YOUR MOOD IS BETTER THAN MINE.
I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE SPRING SHIT ON ME for the
NEXT DAY when I ALREADY HAVE PLANS.
THAT'S WHY ELSE I AM IN A SHITTY MOOD.
I GET A CALL AT 9:30 PM TONITE...ready to go to bed..."I'll be there tomorrow morning"
I HAVE TO GET MY DRYER FIXED WHEN I GET THE OFFER FROM SOMEONE. I REFUSE TO CHANGE IT.
SO SORRY- YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT OUT THERE TILL
I'M FREE FOR ME TO CALL YOU BACK AND GO OUT AND MEET YOU.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I COULDN'T GET A LITTLE MORE NOTICE
THAN 9:30, THE NIGHT BEFORE!!
ANYWAY, Y'ALL HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.
TTR
:P

UPDATE:
STILL NOT CALLING AND I AM GLAD.
HE IS WITH SOMEONE AND WE WILL NOT EVER MAKE IT AND THAT'S A PROVEN FACT. WE HAVE GOTTEN ALONG SO MUCH BETTER AS FRIENDS. I GUESS I JUST ENJOYED GETTING THE OCCASIONAL "GUY" PHONE CALL NOW AND THEN (I DON'T WISH TO BE PHONED EVERY SINGLE DAY AND TALK FOR AN HOUR THO - NOTE TO NEW-BUT-GONE-DOUG..)
BESIDES, WINTER IS COMING AND MY DEPRESSION IS SETTLING IN ALREADY - HARD.

I have spoken to him about athousand times since the date this was originally typed.. Most of the time he was driunk. At first i didn't mind. Then the less i began to drink, the more his drunk-calls annoyed me. The last time we spoke THIS TIME, he got mad because he "loaned" me 20 dollars to buy food, (he owes me aver 200.00 from when he lived with me for a year and i bought all his Christmas gifts!) and i said something to him about him calling and bigging me for the money back - which HE DID NOT - he kept calling to "see if the Fergie CD he asked me to burn was done yet". I know his sly calls. I am not ignorant to Doug's ways any longer...

This was taken in 2003. He has aged, like all of us.

He now has a HUGE beer gut, and a buzz cut haircut. But he still gets a good tan.

UPDATE AGAIN: 06-12-07: I broke down and called and left a voice mail message for him today. I hope he calls me back...

My Baby Computer

(buy "Computer Love" by Mmechelle McLendon-Simmons, at http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Love-Mechelle-McLendon-Simmons/dp/images/1401035590)

Sometimes I hve a little excitement down in the pit of my stomach,when I wake up in the middle of the night, and know that I can get up and come out to the computer and read, write, or get lost. That is how I feel right now.

It's 2 am; a group of idiot black loud-ass disrespectful girls was just walking by the hous, yelling and calling each other names. They madethe dog next to me wake up, and then they woke me up.

The comfort of my baby computer, out here waiting for me to type on, make it all okay.

It's a beautiful, starry summer night. It's cool outside; enought to allow the windows to be open and be covered up with a light blanket in your bed.

I am so grateful to have Internet, and my computer, out here to help me enjoy the moments I am up when it's late. I am content. I need to go back to bed so Ican get up early and take my little one to her first day of art classes tomorrow.

Good night and God Bless

A Wonderful Spring Day

Today is June 8th, 2007, and it's hot, very hot. We had a monstrous thunderstorm with vicious lightening, while I was driving across town to the doctor's office, and it only lasted for about 15 minutes. I prayed that it would hit the other side of the river, so I wouldn't have to water the plants and flowers in the yard tonight, and it did! I finished moving the furniture (I also prayed I don't suffer tomorrow for moving as much as I did, but I probably will..) Lindsey even offered to have John come over and help move the furniture. I took that as a hint that she was bummed that the house was all still in disarray from when I cleaned the carpet on Monday night...
I am thinking about Dar, my cousin, and praying that she got through her 90 day rehab okay, and that she is facing each new day with her bright happy smile again. I NEED TO SEND HER A CARD!
I decided to take on a new look about my house and not being able to afford it. I am going to fight for it as long as I can. I paid the damn 615.00 mortgage and prayed that God would make something come up so that I could afford to give my daughter SOMETHING for her birthday.
We are going camping that day, and Paul and little (but now big, I hear, about 5'10"!) Paulie are coming out and camping right next door! I am so GLAD!! party on! AND BETH IS COMING FRIDAY NIGHT and MARTI MIGHT come out on the same night which is LINDSEY'S 16th BIRTHDAY!!
OH - right before I left to go across town, and before it rained, I picked up all the weeds I pulled out yesterday and pulled out a little more. The sunflowers are growing so fast! I can't wait till they're big again! And all kinds of weeds are coming up REALLY FAST. I have to wait to pull many of them because I planted about 30 packs of seeds, and I don't want to pick new flowers by mistake. The yard really looks great.
Pumpkin has no signs of parvo yet today. Praise God. One more day till the incubation period is over. Her best little girl doggie-friend is getting better every day out at East Suburban Animal Clinic. Praise God again and again. My friend Jeremy, Lissie's Daddy was so distraught. I tried to call him but I have the wrong number.
I feel like I have gotten all caught up with my phone calls and am in touch with everyone again. I don't know if it's my short time-of-month, or my Effexor, that I just started taking 5 days ago (but not today - forgot) or the Fat-blocker I took this morning combined with the 1/3 of Monster Energy drink I drank on the way to the Doctor. But i really got a lot done. Even checked up on my checkbook! RIGHT AFTER I GOT UP! Usually I lie there for an hour or 3, trying not to fall back asleep, dreading the day full of stress. I know one thing for sure, it was less stressful because l went to her friend's today after school. They still have to go to school till next TUESDAY! Everyone else is out of school as of today!! Bummer, huh?
The only thing I still need to do is get ready for that Block Watch meeting that is coming up fast - on Thursday of next week. IN 6 days! Ii still haven't made flyers OR passed them out (all 500 of them) or dropped them off at the CSO (Community Service officer's) office yet to be copied. I haven't worked on the agenda except for deleting things from last month. 'Just don't feel like it. I REALLY need a partner. Feeling not so good about my work for Block Watch this month. I lost control of the meeting last month and it left me with a apathetic feeling. I pray that gets better. I'm sure it will now.

Anyway - that my life, praise God, in East Toledo today!
Hope things look as good for you too,
XO TTR

PS. IF ANYONE finds a Spell-Check that fixes small "i"s and changes them to capital "I"s, PLEASE LET ME KNOW - I WASTE SO MUCH TIME FIXING THEM ALL!

THANK GOD the Justice System works right SOMEWHERE!

If my little brother, who has back problems and depression, and REALLY want to see his kids, and his ex-wife won't let him (it's been about 8 years now!! - she won't let any of us see them) and IS TRYING SO DAMN HARD TO STAY ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW, has to go to jail for something he did almost 7 years ago - GOT BEHIND ON CHILD SUPPORT and an old DUI- (and a warrant was issued) THAN DAMMIT that prissy assed-rich-bitch Paris Hilton, should have to serve for her DUI AS WELL. In Jail. Man, my bro would have GIVEN ANYTHING just to be OUTDOORS for a week, let alone at home. He has a "medical condition"..

And while we're on the topic, this NEVER has made sense to me:

Why send someone to jail who is behind on child support, just so they can get FURTHER BEHIND on child support, and the jail sentences go on and on...they NEVER can get caught up! Those children need that money to contribute to the family income to pay for their expenses.

I'm so sick of the justice system sometimes. It all needs to be reviewed.

Thanks 4 listening,

Screaming Paris Hilton sent back to jail

By LINDA DEUTSCH,

AP Special Correspondent

LOS ANGELES -
SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web'

Paris Hilton was sent screaming and crying back to jail Friday after a judge ruled that she must serve out her sentence behind bars rather than in the comfort of her Hollywood Hills home.
"It's not right!" shouted Hilton, who violated her probation in a reckless driving case. "Mom!" she cried out to her mother.
Hours earlier, the 26-year-old hotel heiress was taken handcuffed from her home in a black-and-white police car, paparazzi sprinting in pursuit and helicopters broadcasting live from above. She entered the courtroom disheveled and weeping, hair askew, without makeup, wearing a fuzzy gray sweat shirt over slacks.
She cried throughout the hearing, dabbing her eyes, and her body shook constantly. Several times she turned to her parents, seated behind her in the courtroom, and mouthed, "I love you."
Despite being ordered to serve the remainder of her original 45-day sentence, Hilton could still be released early. Inmates are given a day off their terms for every four days of good behavior, and her days in home detention counted as time served.
Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer was calm but apparently irked by Sheriff Lee Baca's decision to release Hilton three days into her sentence due to an unspecified "medical condition."
"I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions," Sauer said. "At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home."
The hearing was requested by the city attorney's office, which had prosecuted Hilton and wanted Baca held in contempt for releasing Hilton despite Sauer's express order that she must serve her time in jail. The judge took no action on the contempt request.
A member of the county counsel's staff said Baca was willing to come to court with medical personnel. The judge did not take him up on the offer.
Assistant City Attorney Dan F. Jeffries argued that Hilton's incarceration was purely up to the judge. "Her release after only three days erodes confidence in the judicial system," he said.
Hilton's attorney, Richard Hutton, implored the judge to order a hearing in his chambers to hear testimony about Hilton's medical condition before making a decision. The judge did not respond to that suggestion.
Another of her attorneys, Steve Levine, said, "The sheriff has determined that because of her medical situation, (jail) is a dangerous place for her."
"The court's role here is to let the Sheriff's Department run the jail," he said.
The judge interrupted several times to say that he had received a call last Wednesday from an undersheriff informing him that Hilton had a medical condition and that he would submit papers to the judge to consider. He said the papers never arrived.
Every few minutes, the judge would interrupt proceedings, state the time on the clock, and note that the papers still had not arrived.
He also noted that he had heard that a private psychiatrist visited Hilton in jail, and he wondered if that person played a role in deciding her medical needs.
The last attorney to speak was another deputy city attorney, David Bozanich, who declared, "This is a simple case. There was a court. The Sheriff's Department chose to violate that order. There is no ambiguity."
Hilton's twisted jailhouse saga began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a street in her Mercedes-Benz on what she said was a late-night hamburger run.
She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. In the months that followed she was stopped twice while driving on a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom.
Back before Sauer on Friday, Hilton's entire body trembled as the final pitch was made for her further incarceration. She clutched a ball of tissue and tears ran down her face.
Seconds later, the judge announced his decision: "The defendant is remanded to county jail to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence. This order is forthwith."
Hilton screamed.
Eight deputies immediately ordered all spectators out of the courtroom. Hilton's mother, Kathy, threw her arms around her husband, Rick, and sobbed uncontrollably.
Deputies escorted Hilton out of the room, holding each of her arms as she looked back.

Slideshow: Paris Hilton going back to jail

What I was doing at this time LAST YEAR

FROM A LETTER TO MY FRIEND, SHIRLEY, IN PENSACOLA, FL:

"Today is the 1st day our heat index was even showing up anything-near 90 but the temp is about 85. Rain rain clear all weekend then two more days of rain.
The sunflowers that I planted all around the street sides of the fence around the yard are gonna be huge. GOODY.
I'm at a 4 way stop and every one can see in the house if my drapes are open - not to mention the BUMP BUMP BUMP - noise. I gotta have SOME privacy. So I plant huge sunflowers all the way around the house. When they come down in the Fall, I feel nekkid'.

I have an appraiser coming Monday - so I am painting a few things today to cover up water spots (my bedroom ceiling) and cleaning - besides the studying with Linz this weekend.
As soon as I am done with this email I am going to paint the walk up stairway to the attic. There's another bedroom up there. Plus storage...It's HUGE the whole size of the house. If I could add a stairway from the living room instead of the stairs going up from the laundry room (very narrow too I could double the value of the house.
I am getting refinanced - I am currently in a predatory loan and the Fair Housing Dept is helping me get tout of it. Want more info just ask. Long story.

Other than that. Nothing for me. no love life at all since Larry left me last July.
Linz saw him on the bus 2 days ago and she said Mom - his teeth are getting bad. YUK. You are better off. I totally agree. But Ii still miss him every day.
Another ex (Donnie) stopped by, the last night of the American Idol singing competition (I was so upset! I was flipping between the Country Music Awards - I wanted to see Carrie Uunderwood sing "Jesus take the Wheel" - and American Idol, and I missed the last half of them both.) We went for a walk - he wants me to like him but I just don't feel romantical about him, and I can't help it. Too bad, too, because he is the sweetest, most thoughtful man I have ever known. There's just no chemistry...He has been my brother's best friend since forever and he is just too young for me. Kinda dorky too, BUT CUTE and super nice. Anyways, we chatted for while about him moving down to Tennessee, and then he left. He only lives about 5 minutes from me by car.
Then my other ex (Doug) stopped by the NEXT DAY - CAN U BELIEVE IT? - It must be a full moon. All these "exes' and no boyfriend for a year. SUX! He just drove by and stopped to say hello. He has been with Jodi for 3 years now. Longest relationship in his whole life except me. We were 3 1/2 years plus 25 more between marriages. He is still so cute. He wants anything but a relationship if you know what I mean. No thanks.
SO no one all winter then 2 in 2 days.

Gotta go - write soon
Love ya and miss ya.

COMING SOON - AN UPDATE, COMPARING THIS BLOG FROM LAST YEAR, TO NOW!

My Fantasy Nascar - in 82nd percentile WOW!

I can't believe with my slow start, that I have gotten up to the 82nd percentile already - by the 13th race! I must be pretty good at this. Well, -plus I really do a lot of research before I pick my "guys" for the week.
Here's my picks for the upcoming race on June 3rd in Dover:

Drivers/Fantasy
A List
Jeff Gordon
Jimmie Johnson
B List
Ryan Newman
Denny Hamlin
Mark Martin
Kurt Busch
C List
J.J. Yeley
Reed Sorenson
I had chosen Johnson and kenseth at first but my Aunt just called and said that on NASCAR NOW last night they said nothing about Johnson. Even though he won this race a couple times before. So against my better judgement, I put (ick) Gorrdon in there and took out Kenseth. I will probably regret it. I am always better off going with my first intuition. i still have time to change them though...

TTR xoxo
I'll be back to change as needed after I see what the experts say.

To Move or not to Move

It sucks to not have money..
Especially when you don't have help with living expenses or a partner or spouse. At least they help decide what to do by putting thier two cents in.

It seems my daughter doesn't not give a damn if we have a house, she just want to be able to be a normal teenager, and not be poor all the time. The drama class next year gets to go to Scotland - she wants to go really bad, but it costs at least $1,200.00 - a real bargain..there is No possible way I could even give the kid $20.00, let alone $1200.... AND I'M SICK OF IT.

My adjustable rate mortgage goes up to $615.00 per month next month, and I am getting virtually no assistance from the predatory loan department at the Fair Housing Bureau, after an entire year stringing me along - I learn that I cannot afford to keep my house so there goes my help!
Because they told me to give them my house payment to hold in escrow, then AFTER MY PAYMENT WAS ALREADY PAST THE DUE DATE, they call me to tell me, Oh sorry, we can't hold your money - you CAN afford your home - we can only hold it if you CAN'T!!
THANKS A LOT!!
NOW MY CREDIT IS F*&$KED worse than it already was!!

So, let's see what is available in the way of apartment rentals....IF I can get approved for one that is! Well let's see...this one sounds affordable: 2 BRM apt. Springfield Schools, 1st floor, a/c, laundry. $450mo.+$99 dep. No lease. 419-841-5755

BUT WHAT ABOUT SUNSHINE, M&M AND PUMPKIN!? We'd have to at the very least, give up the cats! They would get euthanized I know it! They are too old to be adopted. They are such good cats. Especially Sunshine. She would never make it out in the wild. I'd have to kill my cats. GOD, NO. I don't think I can give up my baby Pumpkin. It would break my heart. Is the $615. 00 per month here in this house that I can't afford to keep after my daughter turns it, worth keeping for my pets? I can't tell ya. All I know is that my daughter is more important. But my sanity is important too. When she and I arent't getting along, I have my other "babies' who I love, and love me. Maybe I can find a house to rent that will allow me to keep my pets...OH YEAH, I KNOW I'd have to pay 100.00 a month extra to keep them. So I'd add on 100.00 more to the rent cost...

Here's another one that sounds good: STUDIO, 1 & 2 brms, 2707 Pickle, heat incl., appl., laundry, pool. $399, $460, $575+dep. 419-698-3994 That sounds like it's out in Oregon. Nice area, sort of, probably Picadilly. NOISY - DRUGS - punks...too far to the bus line. Ok. That's out. have to stick with Toledo... LGE 2 brm apt, patio, CA, 1st floor, appl., intercom entry doors, low deposit, $475 + util. 419-698-3171...I'm going to call and see if they accept pets.. BRB.... Oregon Arms - Starr Ave - 960 sq feet - nice -1st week June - 460 mo. - behind bakery - no patio 50 10 mo. cats if declawed - small dogs under 12 lbs ok 250.00 deposit -10 extra pr month ... OH WELL THAT LEAVES BOTH CATS OUT _ NEITHER ARE DECLAWED. too cruel. Pumpkin would bark her fool head off and get us kicked out.

Just an example...this is going to be tough. OH GREAT so I call one in a NICE area like OREGON and my daughter bitches - "I DON"T WANNA MOVE FURTHER OUT!! That's too far!!" Anywhere else is going to be expensive...What she wants is Point Place bc that's where her friends live. Well it's not up to her.

I'm stopping.
Now I'm pissed.
PLUS I'd have to not pay the house payment for 2 months to save up enough for a deposit and a moving truck and moving expenses.
CRAP.
Good luck to any of you out there going through what I am.
I sure could use some advice!
I need someone to TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!
Pray for me please.
TTR xoxo

Todays Issue: My Nephew's birthday and no one called to invite my daughter

My nephew Matthew's birthday is today, and my family on my Dad's side always has birthday parties for the kids. I sent him a birthday card. Of course, like always, I never got a thank you phone call. They have never thanked me for anything ever since day one, except thier Christmas presents, and that just started last year 9they are in high school now). Why don't they invite my daughter to the birthday party we know they're having? Why don't they fight for her? Why do I have to have such a lame family that is so selfish? All that side of my family done is hurt us. Now they continue to hurt my daighter since I have cut off all ties with them, to keep them from hurting me.
I hope they are all very happy together at thier perfect little rich parties and perfectly clean houses. I hope one day it hits them how they have crushed a little girl.

Hate the Phone - LOVE EMAIL

I hate talking on the phone.
Ninety-five percent of the people that call me regularly, (thank God they still try!) make it difficult to let me hang up.
Either they won't say good bye when Ii say i have to go, or they come up with a new subject or question to talk about and we end up being on the phone another hour. And I must say, with the latter, I am just as much to blame, WHEN I feel like talking and HAVE TIME TO TALK.
Most days, when I am HOME, and I DO have time to make a telephone call, I have so many things to catch up with like the gardening, mowing grass, house cleaning, dishes, laundry, etc, that I can't get on the phone or nothing would get done. And when I get on the phone, I have doctors to call, places to call to take care of business, and messages to return, from when I didn't feel like getting on the phone, usually days old.
I envy the people who have the cell phones that clip right on your ear, because if I had one, I could do everything and keep in touch with everyone.
A close relative, (whom I love very much and who, by the way, HAS a clip on the ear phone, and who likes to talk to everyone else while she on talking on the phone, and won't say goodbye most of the time. Example: "OK, well, I have to go, I gotta leave to get so-and-so from school...then I get: "____", silence...nothing. She won't say goodbye..at least until the second or third time I've said I have to go. THEN I say "OK...GOODBYE, LOVE YA, Talk to ya later, then, again I get: "____ " nothing........OK.......alllright.......then I say "OK BYE", all frustrated, and hang up, and talk to myself for the next 10 minutes, complaining.) ANYWAY - SHE gave me a headset to hook up to my telephone so I could do dishes and the like and still talk on my phone, which is a cordless. Well, the clip on it isn't sturdy enough and won't clip on my shirt or pants and stay there. It falls off, and if it would break I would have NO PHONE. I can't afford a cell phone. If I could, I would make all my calls in the car, where I think of everything. I would stay in touch with all whom I love and miss.
I wish more people understood what it's like to not want to talk on the phone, but knew how much they are loved and still thought of.
Or at least, if people thought more about the meaning of I HAVE TO GO, and say "OK, LOVE YA - BYE"...
OK, Love ya, Bye!

VAGABONDING by Rolf Potts

Hi - A man that was on (my damn memory arrggghhh) on that show with meredith Viera that asks questions, just mentioned a book that tweaked my travel-bug interest. Thank God I have a computer. I don't know what I would do without it! It is called VAGABONDING...with reaserch I learned that is is by Rolf Potts. I found his own web page that offers web excerpts, as well as forums that discuss topics, and even a link for finding someone to travel with you while you are being a "vagabond"..sounds FUN to me. I can't wait to get my finances under control so i can meet new people, and see the U.S. I pray that day comes before I get sick now that my daughter is growing up. I've waited for this for 16 years...I have bad luck though, and God "owes" me for some bad things I've done (I'm a Christian but I also believe in "what goes around, comes around") I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANY OF YOU IN MY SAME "predicament" !! Send me your thoughts by posting a comment, if you would!
Here 's the link to the book on AMAZON:
(people like us like to buy USEd books much cheaper than new versions.
We're vagabonds!
They're gonna get dirty anyway!)..http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0812992180/vagabonding
and here is the link to Rolf Pott's web site for the book, as well as links for the forums and such:
http://www.vagabonding.net/book/
http://www.vagabonding.net/forums/
Please, if you've read it, please let me know what you think about the united States part of the book.
I also think it's important to mention what I REALLY wish for is a travel trailer to live in and travel around in. Just thought that was important! Till next time, XO TTR

create the ultimate playlist
Right now it's on my Project Playlist on my MySpace — 16 minutes ago
IF I CAN GET THE SONOFABITCH TO WORK!

I wanted to have a music player for my myspace page that plays multiple songs. After using the one that everyone else had, and noticing that it didn’t work most of the time, I found Project Playlist.

http://www.projectplaylist.com/

Their server is sometimes overloaded because they’re pretty popular, especially from the time that kids get out of school until after 6 pm weekdays, and it takes a lot of patience to find the music you want; but I really like the service.
The player will load automatically, and play the songs in order, or viewers can click on it and play what they like. It then defaults to playing the next song in order, and continues unless you click on another song.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO:

Celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans (read all 2 entries…)

Not worth it!

It was St. Patrick's Day, and that was enough.. — 1 hour ago

New Orleans is way too crowded during Mardi Gras, and I don’t appreciate the disrespect and nudity.
St. patrick’s Day is much less crowded, has a wonderful parade with all the beads and everything. It’s a very expensive place to go. I can get drunk anywhere. Like on a beautiful, queit white sandy island…

move 29 things in my house
Worth doing!

I move my furniture every 2-3 months — 30 weeks ago
I am stuck at home so that is the only way I feel any change in my life. I love it so much after I get it done, that I sleep on the couch for a couple of nights afterwards, then I can enjoy the new look more. I can’t explain why I do it, much more than that. I’ve moved my furniture like this ever since I had my first apartment, 25 years ago. I really get off on it. Usually I start by picking the one thing I really NEED to change (like for the last week or so, my computer chair wasn’t comfortable enough and had been bothering my neck) so I moved my recliner there instead, and moved the rest of the room in a way that a)it would all fit, and b) in a way that it had never been (which is a big accomplishment for me, since I have already moved it 30 times, AND I have 3 windows and 2 doors to work around!) Let me know if I can help you “take a trip and never leave the farm”!
