Why
When I was about 5 my baby cousin died from SIDS.
When I was in my twenties my friend put a shotgun into his mouth and ended his life.
When I was in my 30’s I slept with my phone because on some nights because I was ” On Call ” as a Mortician’s Apprentice and those calls meant that I was going somewhere to meet a family who were going through a devastating experience.
All of these events unfolded in my life with the same thing.
A ringing phone.
Years later I still equate the sound of a phone ringing me out of sleep with Death.
And now there’s this campaign ad:
“It’s 3:00 am and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone in the White House and it’s ringing,” the male narrator says in the ad. “Something’s happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call.”
The only word that comes to my mind now in regards to a candidate
who has so much to offer
would use this tactic….
is
Why.
Milo

By Akiko Fujita ( a KOMO News Story )
The Humane Society of the U.S. is offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to the owner of a pit bull, abandoned in a Renton parking garage. A security guard at Valley Medical Center spotted six month-old Milo on Feb. 9, starving and dehydrated.”He just looked horrible,” said Mary Tahlequah who has since adopted Milo. “He was scared, skinny, he just didn’t look good.”Tahlequah’s friend Stefanie Trumbla was called to a Renton veterinarian after her mother offered to take care of the dog. She said Milo was so weak, he used his elbows to walk. His paws were wounded, his elbows scraped so badly his bone was sticking out.
The vet told Trumbla Milo suffered from a birth defect described as a “flexor contractor.” The dog’s muscles were shortened and that prevented him from using his wrists normally.
Home video shot six days after Trumbla rescued Milo shows the dog limping with his paws facing inward. He is unable to put weight on his hind legs. Tahlequah said Milo’s condition was so bad because his previous owner did not take proper care of him.
“He was left in a cage or crate a lot. Wounds on his elbow were from trying to get around,” she said.
Vets suggested euthanizing Milo but Tahlequah refused to accept that as an option. She pitched in $5,000 for Milo’s medical costs and treated his wounds from her Kent home.
A few weeks after he was rescued, Milo can slowly walk down the stairs with his heavily bandaged legs but he still needs a metal plate placed in his wrist. Tahlequah said that surgery would cost $5,000 more and she does not have the money for that.
She has set up a fund at Wells Fargo Bank and created the website http://www.pleasehelpmilo.com/ documenting Milo’s recovery in hopes of raising the funds needed for the puppy’s medical costs.
“He’s got a really great soul in there and a willing spirit to live,” she said.
Is Saying Amen Still PC?
So.
God.
How’s everything little thing with you?
Me?
Well… in case you haven’t noticed I haven’t been talking to you much lately.
That’s because I’ve been really busy enjoying the Train Wreck that is the world of American Politics
We’re getting close to a ” Lord Of The Flies “ type situation down here so I am totally into the entire experience. I’m just waiting for the tribes to attack each other.
I’m just wondering if in the end people like me will be relevant anymore.
According to the hate mail I’ve gotten recently the answer is
‘no’.
Some of my ‘enlightened sisters’ are really really mad because I’ve joined another tribe and they’re getting ready to cut my head off and stick it on a pole and run it up and down the streets of Ohio.
Anyway….
When I’m not all wrapped up in this new Reality Show

After that I look for cool pictures to send to my friends and family.
Of course they never acknowledge getting them so I’m not sure if they’re appreciated. I figure I’ll just keep sending them until they start screaming stop like little babies :

And sometimes I find these stories where what’s between the lines
is much more interesting than what’s actually on them.
The ultimate burn you gesture is in this story.
PS.
Don’t ask me about the TV show mentioned in the story- it’s about Vampires.
I hate Vampire stories- I never watch them on TV and I never read them.
They Suck.
Ha ha ha.
Well God Oh Mighty.
