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...

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.

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…
My Aunt Susy has been there during Mardi Gras.She called me from her cell phone (March 2006)

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”!

Cold and Warm, East Side Pride and Winter Blues
The weather, my love life, my finances. I am a true East Toledoan.I suppose you COULD say all I do is bitch, but how else would I even recognise that things need to change or somehow be made different by myself, OR seen differently through my eyes -
The weather, my love life, my finances. I am a true East Toledoan.
I suppose you COULD say all I do is bitch, but how else would I even recognise that things need to change or somehow be made different by myself, OR seen differently through my eyes - if I did not mention them out loud??
DOES ANYONE AGREE WITH ME OUT THERE?
I'm TIRED OF BEING TOLD ALL I DO IS BITCH. I am one of the most positive persons you will ever meet. I love my life (I don't always say it though) I love waking up every day, I love the weather WHEN IT'S WARM, I am so thankful for my man - on our good days, I am so thankful for EVERYTHING!
What does being an East Toledoan have to do with it??
Well, most of us in this neighborhood, anyway, are in the same income bracket. We make enough to pay most of the bills, but are stuck at home all winter because we can't afford to do anything else. That's why many of us walk around here. Either the car is broken down, or you can't pay the insurance this month for some reason, or you can't afford the gas for anything except for the "essentials".
Many of us single women, attractive East Toledo women I might add, keep getting stuck with these LOSER, ALCOHOLIC MEN, who are someone else's leftovers, either don't want to work, or do work but don''t make enough money to move out of Mommy's house, or spend too much on partyin' or beer to be able to afford rent, let alone buy something like a VALENTINES GIFT for their loved ones. ...us beautiful East Toledo Women. And yet, we continue to put up with it. Because that is all that is available to us here on the East Side. We don't make much money ourselves! Hell, some East Toledo women are drug addicted to be able to tolerate this lifestyle day after day after day. We don't go places to meet executives or doctor's (like many of our mother's dreamed for us), we are basically country women at best, who like to cook, keep clean houses, take care of our men... "servasa", you know, and we have to settle for, basically, who will settle FOR US!
Personally, I am thankful to have this - NO - REALLY I AM!- I am thankful to live where I live, to be living at all, and to have the man that I have for NOW - I pray to God our East Side Pride holds out and things get better. Our "East Side Motto". Things can ONLY get better. I need to make some changes, I know that.
But then everything changes as soon as Spring weather hits, and all is well with the world again.
This is ALL winter-blues, you know. I refuse to believe it is totally East Side mentality.
