I would like to first of all apologize to all two of my friends who may have been worried during my hiatus. I didn't mean to make you think I had been abducted by wolves or committed suicide (no matter how close I may have come) or anything, I was just (and still kind of am) going through some things. But nonetheless, I'm back and about to sprinkle you all with a little dab of this, and a little dab of that.Voting yesterday...aaaahhhhhh! All of the political hubbub really makes my ass hurt in all honesty, but I vote because it's my civic responsibility to do so. The tax issues are what pissed me off this year...they want to expand the library system here. And the way I see it, they always "conveniently" tell you the nominal amount of like $.00035 that will be taken out of each check, but do you notice that as the years go by, they never STOP taking it? I'm sorry, but all that crap adds up, and taxes here are high enough, and I believe that regardless of that two-to-one "NO" vote...the library shit will still happen.
Flu shots...people are absolutely crazy and coming in droves for this shit! Don't we have enough dormant diseases-in-the-form-of vaccinations sitting in our bodies since birth??? I haven't had the flu since 1997 (knock on wood)...WITHOUT the damned shot...No thank you!
Some idiot decided that since I make a couple of quarters more on my new job that they would do the courtesy of doubling my before/after school child care bill. Mmm hmm, that's right! I make to much to qualify for the scholarship I had.............but damn it, now I don't make enough to cover the fucking increase!
Another good friend of mine and the family (from back home---in his late 30's) passed Monday night...Cancer. And another previously mentioned but until granted permission to do otherwise, never disclosed VERY good friend of mine from back home was just diagnosed with it.
Anyways, SHIT! This post is getting too long, so I'll stop here, but expect a Hodge Podge V soon...and very soon!
In comments.......oh whatever the hell ya feel!

yay! you're back!
But did I miss Hodge Podge I-III?
I note that your ass seems to be the recipient of all your emotions...
Re: flu shot, well, when you get old like me you get more susceptible to it. And even in my younger days I had the flu once and that was enough to take shots for the rest of my life. Especially since I don't get official sick leave.
Sorry about depression, cancer, and all other ills...
NoR~Yes you did miss I-III...please refer to the archives if interested!
You make a good point about my ass...maybe that's why it's so big?!?!?!
No sick leave?!?!?! Are you kidding me? I don't know what I would be without it!
Thanks for the regards :) I can always count on you NoR!
The flu shot hysteria irks me, too. I have never in my 27 years of life had the flu; my mother had never in her 47 years of life had the flu; to my knowledge, my grandmother, also, never been the recipient. I am so freaking tired of people asking me why I don't get a flu shot. Seriously, that vaccine should ONLY be for those people who would be severely affected by the flu, the very young and old and immunity-compromised. Anyone with a decent immune system can get over the flu in a couple weeks and should do so to the stupid, annoying viruses can stop becoming super, killer viruses.
Enough of my ranting. Glad to see you're back;>
Woo~I think if another person asks me, they're gonna get BITCH slapped!
I was going to get a flu shot. I'm always sick. ALWAYS. In fact, I had to teach a room full of snot nosed coughing 1st graders on Monday and I'm just waiting for my own body to start the downhill process.
Anyway...I'm drinking my water now cause in about an hour, we'll know, in the words of Halley, what "flavor" the baby is!!!! :)
Tera, DO NOT call me at 3:35, I'll still be in the Dr.'s office :)
Nina~You've got to find a way to boost that immune system girl!
Yay! Girl, girl, girl, girl!
Okay, I'll call you at 3:36!
Tera, are you going to get a flu shot?
NoR~Very funny...I was wondering who would ask!
Well, I got my flu shot. I teach in a crowded building full of 2000+ students and staff. The one year I didn't get my shot, I got the flu and missed 8 days of work, could not even lift my head off the pillow, and never felt so horrid in my life.
And, how did I know Tera had a new post up? She finally commented on my blog! LOL LOL LOL.
Nance~Whoa, well I guess in that case...!
LOL! But of course! :)
i think you just need to go have great sex...that way you can work off all you frustrations :)
You know, Belle you may be on to something...stay tuned!
Great sex is the solution. Always. I've decided it fixes everything.
Susan~Thanks...I'll make haste!
Tera, could not agree with you more on that whole flu shot b.s. Don't get me started on vaccinations in general. These drug companies want us to pump our new-born babies with enough drugs to take down a medium sized elephant. It's disgusting!
Cyber~How profound!
And? Stories as a result of your great haste?
Sigh...
