What A True Partner Is

The True Partner

I swear I've always believed in this. Sadly when I was in relationships in the past it was always the man the didn't understand this concept. The minute there were disagreements I would hear, "it shouldn't be like this" or "it shouldn't be this hard."  The first sign of an argument, something that needed to be worked out...balked and walked.

Turns out I was right. And you know what? I'm looking for what this Rabbi talks about, for me.

Do I Make You Proud?

Maybe this is hokey...or I'm just hormonal but this video reminds me of my own life. For so long I chased things I thought I was supposed to be chasing. To please who? Parents? Friends? The people I passed on the street? Trying to fit in.  Only since my mid-thirties I started to allow myself to just be me. It's a process. Some days I don't get there but mostly I do. I'm finally living my dreams. The work I do doesn't feel like work. Only joy.  I only wish I had more of it. Times are economically tough for most, myself included. Twitter, believe it or not helped me feel so much less isolated. Through that social medium I was able to find other like-minded folks, who are independent thinkers, do not "go with the flow" of mob rule...renegades or otherwise formerly called "trouble makers." There's a lot of us. The ruse is up!

Proud Teabagger

There's a lot of muss and fuss about this term. Some are saying it is a homosexual act...nonsense, and the left is using it to denigrate the right or right-leaning as in my case.

I'm not the least bit insulted.

See Teabagger as defined currently by Urban Dictionary. But you can see this is a bit like Wikipedia where you can add or subtract as a pathetic attempt to shit upon FOX news is used as some sort of factual definition on the page.

Let me tell you something, the best way to empower any person is to own the "offending" word.

I'm a proud ball-eater of any shithead, left or right that tries to tell me I must think a certain way, work for another person's benefit rather than my own, work for free, less, pay a fee for not buying insurance etc etc...

Come at me with your dogma and I'll eat your balls for dessert!

Hell In Haiti

I'm not even going to pretend I know that much about Haiti. Before the earthquake I knew that it was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere rife with corruption. I know that there is a large Haitian community in Brooklyn and that community is in a bad neighborhood.


I've been retweeting a lot of tweets from @RAMhaiti to let others know what is happening there from his POV. He's at a hotel there where his band has played for many years. Apparently there are journalists there all surrounding one desk. I suppose it's one of a handful of places to get satellite communications.


Some on twitter have moronically tweeted in agreement with Pat Robertson "They Have officially made a pact with the Devil, according to TeleEvangelist Pat Robertson"


I blocked those former followers. I find them archaic, judgmental and very UNchristian. 


When there is a natural disaster it is human and normal to try to find the meaning of the situation. We are mere mortals and it is hard to understand the devastation and deaths of humans on such a massive scale. This is understandable.


I think my mother had it more correct than I've heard from any other source. Mom's not that spiritual a person. She's more the matter of fact, blunt type...which is where I get that part of me from. 


Haiti has been a cesspool, run by corrupt thugs that have left their own people who freed themselves from slavery 200 years ago, into the slavery of poverty by their own hands. It's very sad. But perhaps, as Mom suggested, this is their chance to build a new better country. 


I liken this to the times of Pharaoh. When the Jews were let go and fled, g-d parted the Red Sea. But behind them came the Egyptians and g-d made sure they drowned. That was the end point. We know that there were plagues first and in them women and children died as well as the non innocents. 


We cannot begin to speak for g-d. I don't know why that must happen. But the bible and history show evidence of this.


There's almost nothing left of Haiti. Their own President has stated that his government is gone. Many have been killed in the quake. Buildings are gone. Thousands of souls have perished, good and bad. They have had coups, and hurricanes and forced into poverty by their own leaders.


Maybe this is g-ds way of salvation for these people. I do not believe it is punishment and shame on those for saying so.


Update to this post: I found this tonight through another twitter follower. I thought it fitting to the subject and so I share.

Email Recieved From The Shmooz.com

This was sent to the schmooz.com who passed it on 


WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

"My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France .

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home . On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China .

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , Germany , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mezamies.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this.. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not  making us angry for a change..

Mexico  is also on List 2 its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska- which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.


It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America It is time to eliminate homelessness in America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget...

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America .. Thank you and good night."

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

Why I Don't Believe In Social Justice

Social Justice is the new catch phrase. Sounds good right? Perhaps on the surface. And we've become a culture that doesn't dig deeper than the surface. Not good.

We are a nation of laws. We have the courts. We have the constitution. I don't need SOCIAL pressures deciding how everyday people and events should be lived.

Social justice is just another term for thuggery. Social approved.

The reason we have the court system is so that social pressure cannot hurt others. At one time social justice allowed poll taxes to blacks. It also allowed for lynchings of blacks. It allowed for blacks to have to ride at the back of the bus.

Social justice =social pressure. Strong-arming!

Social justice brought the systematic deaths of millions of Jews in Europe at the hands of the Germans. Notice how I didn't write Nazis. The German people allowed the Nazis to do this. Social Justice.

Sometimes society collectively does what is socially acceptable but morally wrong. OK OK often. And it's very hard for the individual to stand up to this, not partake in whatever it is at the moment. The only way to combat this is to create a society that doesn't value Social Justice.

The United States of America has for the most part had that society already. Sure, we have parts in our history that were sad and wrong. But I argue today that those things were brought on BY social justice, not corrected by it, and corrected BY our court systems - which were able to correct those injustices by our laws.

Social justice starts with a person's ideological beliefs as the "question"...the starting point, rather than being honest about "the starting point" which is really the conclusion, thereby cutting off all honest conversation and debate and FORCING others into whatever action is deemed correct by society at that time, weak as a whim blowing in the wind.

Cadilac Kitties

I swear there should be a sign in any animal shelter or pet store that says:
Disclaimer - You could have a new car or this cat.


Last week I ran around NYC with Leo back and forth to the Vet. The bill was gynormous and it took three trips and many test before the Vet learned that Leo has some kind of condition that causes his bladder to create sand-like material that then gets caught in his urethra. So Leo has to be on special formula food that breaks down that chemical reaction and then a new one in a few weeks that prevents it from happening.

Even after a nice discount from the Vet I still had $600 + from his bills alone.

As if that weren't enough, on Sunday I found Sadie with one of her nails protruding from her paw that would not retract from the sheath. She wouldn't even let me get close to it. Poor thing. So I called our Vet and was told she had to be brought in that day.

Sadie put up a good fight getting into the carrier but I managed to get her inside and off we went. However, when we arrived she had urinated and pooped in the carrier and of course was frightened and shaking and wanted mommy to hold her. NO FREAKIN WAY Poor thing of course mommy will hold you after the Vet techs wash you up.

Thank goodness for the techs who cleaned the pee out of the carrier and blanket inside. They also gave Sadie a complete bath.

And there you see in the photo what was her nail/claw. They had to sedate her and then remove it. They say it will grow back.



Here is what she looks like now. At points I think she looks like Popeye the Sailor Man...because she does this weird squint thing with one eye and pushes her right bandaged paw out and lays there.

And because I thought no one would believe me I've taken video of this super kitty that climbed up to the top of my entertainment unit, bandage and all while I was out at work. I don't have a clue how she did it since she's hobbling around like an old lady on a bum knee but she did!



Tack on another $210 to my tab please Mr. Vet! I'll drink to that!

New Years Resolutions My Way!

Clayton Morris made a personal video about his resolutions. Go ahead and watch and then read below what I think about this idea.


Resolutions! Are you freakin' kidding me. Clayton and the rest of you, seriously, do you think we give a crap what you think you should do this year with your personal time? Gee life should be so rough that a resolution should be to take a vacation. Come on Clayton! I like FOX and Fox and Friends but really dude, you think we care that you believe you are 11 lbs over weight? This chunky chick doesn't give a crap about your pathetic self image over 11lbs nor your book reading either.

I've got a good one for you. SHAVE that hideous left brow of yours. I've got a good eyebrow lady in Queens I can send you to for $5 plus the cost of the subway. Really I promise you...it's way more needed for your resolution list than your lame choices.

Happy New Year


It's been a stressful end to a good year. Farewell 2009 and welcome 2010. May this be the year to kick the asses out of Congress, restore some balance to our government and gain back our national security.

The good, bad and ugly:

I have been tending to a sick little fur baby. Leo is doing better now that we finally figured out what was causing his urinary problems and bleeding. He's home resting and enjoying feeling better. He is on a new diet specially made to break down the gritty gunk that his body makes from regular (albeit high grade food) in his bladder. Eight weeks on that food going into another few weeks of another formula and then we will switch to an organic uretic food for all the fur babies so that he can eat the best grade food possible.

The Vet bill came to over $700 and I looked in my jewelry box and found gold items I never remembered I had and sold them. It will cover only a portion of that bill but I'm so glad I had that option available. The Vet tech is going to talk to the doctor about reducing the bill further for me and I have a payment plan for the balance so far.

A lawyer found me on twitter, tweeting my stress away about a very excessive ticket that Nassau County imposed upon me for a minor mistake I was correcting when pulled over. He turned out to be my savings grace. After learning about my financial woes and showing him my yearly earnings he completely -- I mean 100% waived his fee and he had already gone to court for me and went back and pleaded my case further. He got all the points reduced to zero and a fine that would have been over $400 he was able to reduce to $370. Still not great but I know he worked his ass off for me. If you need him is name on twitter is @apearl and I highly recommend him.

My father was laid off a few months ago and is almost 65 but I learned the other day that he was hired for the same position he was laid off for at another credit union. I'm so happy for him. And my mother is less stressed now because of this.

I had many phone issues with Verizon and trying to work them out took a lot of time, created a lot of stress and aggravation but I believe just about everything is fixed. I had to get a new cell phone which I wasn't thrilled about and I think it has bugs causing some functions to turn on without me pressing buttons. So I will have to take care of that after the New Year begins. But for now, I have decided to take a break from that stress. It's been non-stop working around the clock 6-7 days a week and running back and forth with little sleep for the past 3 weeks.

Currently as I write this letter to all of you it's snowing outside and the roads are icy but the heat is on inside and we are all relaxing.

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy New Year.

Something's Rotten In The State Of New York!

Early Christmas morning after a very long day and night of working I found myself waiting for the F train in midtown to go home. If you're not from New York City let me "catch you up" on what that means for subway riders. WAITING a LONG time for your train to come. Holidays and Sundays the trains run less often.

It was about 1am. I was exhausted.  I wasn't sure if I'd see another soul waiting for the train because of the holiday. But I did. And in the subway you will find that if someone is in a rush they will go up to those who appear to have been waiting and ask, "how long have you been waiting for the train?" AND you always hope the answer you will hear is a long time, because that means the train is most likely coming soon.

Well to my "luck" the three people waiting for a train along with me just saw the F train to Queens come by only a few minutes before my arrival. Lucky lucky tired me. And even luckier one of the three, a man with a very obvious accent decided to chat me up. Ah but I get even luckier.

I knew the answer before I asked but where were these three people from? Egypt. Here's what I learned from the horse's mouth. They were exchange students in a school in Wisconsin. Each on a scholarship that was listed in a magazine in their country. All three were here to study in Wisconsin for free for one year. And while none of them appeared to be of college age it didn't matter to get the scholarship.

I of course challenged  mentioned to this terrorist  gentleman that he seemed much older than the average college student. And he told me that he was 28 and his friends were 26. Each were on scholarship for a year studying different things. He was studying journalism. Which I personally found to be bizarre, that a male would come to the USA for one year to study journalism and it would be applicable in anyway back in Egypt, where the media is monitored and run completely by the state and always has been. (Unlike here where the media has become an arm of Obama but did not start out that way.)

These three "students" had only just arrived to NYC that very night. They were studying the subway map to Brooklyn. And they were getting on the F train to Brooklyn.

Shall we take a little step back now and add this crapola story up that I was told.

3 male "students" on scholarship for 1 yr to college in Midwest
studying journalism
never been to NYC before and just arrived that day (Xmas Eve)
travelling to Brooklyn
Muslim
ages 26-28

As I continued the conversation I learn further that the stated objectives of the exchange are to teach us "our opinions of your culture so that you have a better understanding of us."


We don't give a rats ass what you fucking asshhole muslims terrorists think of our culture you brainwashed bombed strapped to your bodies and blow up innocents scum of the earth fucktards think of us.  Hmmmm

So I'd like to know just who they were visiting in Brooklyn. I find it very odd that 3 people who've never been to NYC before  and are from the ME on scholarship for one year know anyone in Brooklyn. Well accept that Brooklyn has a large Muslim community and is known for a lot of extremists. Hell, even in my area which was always well-known for being a Jewish community, and for which I moved to this area, I now am subjected to   have women who wear the full hajib with only the freakin' slits of their eyes showing.

Why weren't these "tourists" staying at a hotel in Manhattan?

This 28 year-old Egyptian asked me with a smile on his face if I'd ever been outside of the United States.
OBNOXIOUS!

I replied that yes I have.

I was asked if I had been to the ME. And I said NO!

And then both our trains arrived. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I was tired and I was suspicious of these 3 Egyptians.

Let's just suppose that none of them are extremists. They are still here for free. Some program has invited them to come here from a place in the world that teaches the worst racist hate against anyone who isn't muslim. They are here as guests while they preach hate but have come here to tell us their opinions of us.

ROTTEN to the core!

More:


Wednesday night, while waiting for the bus to the train to go to work I had the lovely experience of being called a dirty Jew.

More shockingly, at least to me, it was said by a black man.

Here's how it started. A group of kids walked over to the bus stop. Black man says loudly, "OH! There's those damn Jewish kids."

I turn around to see who said it and I learn it's the black man. He immediately challenges me, "You have a problem with me?!?!?"

I say, "You have a problem with Jews?"

And we're off! He's yelling his racist hate, while claiming not to be racist. I point out to him my shock that a black man who has probably been on the receiving end of racism many times in his life would turn around and be the same way to another group of people. (no less KIDS) This further infuriates this man. I then point out that some day he will have kids and I asked him, "How would you like it if someone treated your kids the way you just did to the Jewish kids?!"

And then I just started to parrot him. I wanted ever person walking by to hear his words loud and clear:
Damn Dirty Jews
You Dirty Jew
Fuck You Jew
Suck My Dick Jew

The last one was my favorite because he let me say the following:
I don't have time to search for something so small!

And this is what our society has come to. So much for all the hope and change promised. All I've seen is are more DOPES and racists!

I'm Feeling The Blahs

I had a very stressful week both personally and professionally. I'm glad it's over and a new week has begun. I'm told that Mercury is in Retrograde which explains a lot. I was witness to extreme trauma and medical abuse IMHO and it's been weighing heavy on my mind. Mix that in with some other personal "set-backs" and technical issues with my cell phone and home phone, hours of arguing with Verizon on both issues just to get the situations resolved, and not to my satisfaction mind you, and I am spent emotionally and physically.

The previous Sunday I went on a date with a twitter follower. I had sarcastically  sweetly asked the single Jewish  men in NYC to come out from their hiding places  to contact me if they were interested in showing me a good time taking me out on a date.  I made sure they knew that it would be easy to impress me since any show of money can impress a girl with no money.      

My date took us to see The Klezmer Nutcracker  a very cute children's theater version of the Jewish nutcracker. 

The date was a perfect gentleman. He was kind and generous and took us out for lunch afterwards to a very yummy falafal joint on the UWS. The food was delicious and the company was respectful. Just what this Jewish Nutcracker ordered!
