My dear ol'ball and chain, informed me once, that when we are drunk together, he finds me fascinating. When I'm drunk, and he's not, he finds me annoying.
RIGHT BACK AT HIS ASS.
On the way home tonight, after attending a family (sorta, but that's a whole 'nother post. A long one, at that.) function, we picked up the schimiddos...
"WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET ME FUCKING DRIVE YOU ASSHOLE!"
In my defense, I'd like to add that I had fielded "Take this exit", followed by "Why did you get off here? 10 is much faster than 97".
A point, I'd tried to make at, you know, 97.
"Are you going really slow, or is it just me?"
followed by:
"Christ Danielle, slow the fuck down, would you?"
Please note, there was no change in speed between the two.
The last straw was when, as we were driving through the neighborhood that I grew up in, and I cut down a side road, to avoid some traffic.
"Where the hell are you going? This way takes foreeevvveerr...", while playing with the radio attempting to tune in a local country station.
Now, some will read this and say "How could you use such profanity, in front of your children????"
While others will say, "Thank gog you distracted him before he subjected your children to that crap! Doesn't he know it kills brain cells??"

As I waited....
...Today, for news of any indictments coming down, hardly daring to breath, and spoil what time I had before the inevitable disappointment, I had time to ponder.
Not anything earth shattering, for crying out loud, calm down. I'm still working on the whole "why on earth tabloids still think it's cute to combine celebrity couple names" issue.
I wondered why I've pinned so many hopes on this. Maybe it's because I have a thing for the special prosecutor (he's cute in a nerdy sort of a vein. He IS! Whatever, screw you.), or, maybe, it's because, in a very self-delusional way, I saw this as the magic bullet. You know, the one that will make fellow Americans stop debating whether or not "TomKat" (groan) is having *twins*!!
The one that will awaken us to the corruption in Washington.
Now, I'm not attempting any Republican vs. Democrats sort of a debate. The sad fact is, they ALL are corrupt. Yes, say it with me, all you liberals. The Democrats and the Republicans are both wings of the same evil bird. One is on the left, the other on the right, but both are DIRTY. It's the name of the game. Even the most well-intentioned public official, still has to keep his donations a'flowin', in order to run for re-election. You think lobbyiests give them all that money because they'd really like to see them in blue suits, as opposed to gray?
Ladies and gentlemen, I hate to have to be the one (and if I'm the one whose word you're taking, you really, really, REALLY need to get out more) to break it to you, but our "For the people, BY the people" has become an almost laughable travesty.
It's almost laughable, if it didn't mean we all weren't so damn screwed.
People always say "The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer". This is true, of course. However, I think that the middle class just may be beginning to realize, that they are only one misstep away from BEING the "poorer" part of that equation.
How many of you have cleared $1,000,000 in a year? In 2004, 435-member House of Representatives, 123 elected officials earned at least one million dollars last year, according to released financial records made public each year. Right next door, in the Senate, 1 in 3, are millionaires.
Now, think of all the people on your block, and figure out how many people on your street would have to hit the lottery, in order to post those same statistics.
In order to even be able to afford a modest campaign, you gots to have the cash, y'all. That cash has to come from somewhere. Iff'in you've got that kind of cash, chances are (this, of course, is a generalization), you can't remember what it felt like to wonder how you were going to cover your BG&E bill, and buy your kid new shoes.
Especially with energy costs on the rise (It's the hurricanes! It's the war! It's OPEC! It has NOTHING to do with the 9+ billion in profit that Exxon, just ONE oil company, has posted!), this is being more and more a sad fact of life.
It makes me sad. It makes me sad that when I say, with actual excitement in my voice "Harriet Miers rescinded her nomination", people have actually said "Who?".
WHO???
C'mon people! Wake up and smell the winter air, and it seeps in through your drafty window!
I
just
do.
not.
UNDERSTAND.
Of course, if this was a list of all the things I don't understand, it would go on for miles. Literally, I have no concept of math strategies past 4th grade, string theory, or any number of other topics.
What I do, however, understand, is that this country has reached a crisis point.
Today, on CBS news, they did a piece on correspondents in Iraq, most of whom, are Iraqi, being held. No charges, some don't even know why they were arrested in the first place, for months. Yet, we were bringing FREEEDOM!!! to Iraq.
Nice example we're setting.
I have the upmost respect for the men and women in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in all the bases, not to put too fine a point on it. I have enough respect for them, to QUESTION what my government is doing with them. Where they are sending them. Why they're being sent without the equipment they need to keep them safe. Why they're dying, in a war we started in the first place, based on intelligence (*HA!*), that those in charge knew was false. They KNEW it. Yet, it's not patriotic to question them? To demand answers?
How many people, in a grocery store parking lot, could you ask "What do you think of the Downing Street memos?", and they'd know what you were talking about?
Now, I'm no freaking saint. I'll admit to piddling away hours wondering if I'm the only person bothered by the fact that our president spells his middle initial, with more than one letter....Hours I could be spending writing letters to my congressperson, or to the editors, or any myriad of other world-improving activities. I just wish, that we could all, collectively, step back. Step away from red state/blue state, republican/democrat lines, and take a good, hard, long fucking stare at the state of things, and really consider what we could do to change it.

Now is that boobie with an "ie", or with a "y"?
It's amazing the questions the supposedly adult mind can come up with, during a day filled with 5 children bouncing around the house.
But, it does lead one to wonder.
Booby hatch, is definitely a "y"...But boobies? Got to be an "ie", in my not-so-expert opinion.
Well, I DO have a set, so I wonder if that does, after all, make me an expert?

Starbucks is for QUEERS.
Recently, a friend forwarded me an article, about how Starbucks has begun putting quotes on the sides of coffee cups. Supposedly to stir up conversations, they are coffeehouses, after all. There has been some controversy over one of the quotes, from a gay person, to the effect of (I should fact check before I begin to spew, no, lOL?), they wish they hadn't waited so long to come to terms with being gay. People are upset. Seriously. Pissed off, even. How dare a company print something that espouses personal love, and acceptance of who you ARE????
I responded true to form, ripping up the religious right, their lack of tolerance for any view other than their own, etc. A good friend of mine, was offended, and a bit hurt by my comments, feeling as if I was lumping her in with those I blasted. I can see where she would be hurt, but I honestly, hadn't meant ANY offense to her, I love her, and would never hurt her feelings on purpose. I've been mulling this over since last night, and I finally managed a reply. I'm hoping she will read it in the spirit it was intended, and not as a personal attack. I'll post my reply here, for discussions sake.
"My post was in no way directed at you, and I'm sorry you found it offensive. I generally do not think of you as one of "them".
But I'm tired, and pissed off. I'm tired of having to find a babysitter, trek up to my kid's school and schedule a meeting with the principal to make sure that the boy scouts,a religious organization, don't get classroom time in my public school. I'm tired of wondering if my kids, along with their friends, and potential mates, will have access to accurate health information, be taught about how to prevent STD's and pregnancy. I'm exhausted defending the opinion that SCIENCE ought to be taught to my children in SCIENCE class, not religion.
I'm tired of one of the largest group of people, and one of the best-funded, constantly bitching about the "liberal agenda", the "liberal bias in the media", and generally complaining about how persecuted they are. I do not feel the need to have everyone agree with me. Nor do I feel the need to "convert" them to my side. Therefore, I would like the same courtesy extended to me, in the public domain. I would like for them to please remove their bible-printed boots from off the neck of us "liberal flakes", and keep their religion in their church's, in their private schools, and in their homes. This means I expect there NOT to be the 10 commandments hanging in the courthouses. It means I expect there to be no prayer in school. I expect them to allow others, to "live and let live"
I also expect those in power, who claim to subscribe to this set of beliefs, to practice what they preach. Want to handout condoms in Africa, where 1/3 of the population is HIV positive,and people are DYING? Better not mention abortion,or you'll lose your funding. And you better not expect them to provide low cost, or free drugs to help ease their suffering. They're poor and brown, fuck em'. Want your water clean, and the air unpoisoned? Tough shit, our buddy's are making $$ off the toxic waste they dump where they feel like it, and we make it easier for them, but gutting Superfund,and castrating the oversight committee, so not only are you living next door to a toxic waste dump, but you get to pay for it out of your taxes as well, while your children fight deadly cancers, so the CEO can take his Bermuda trip this fall. There is a local playground in MD, built over a landfill. There is also a K-9 unit. Over the past year, 9 out of the 12 dogs housed there, have gotten cancer, and 3 have died. The unit has been shut down. The playground,about 100 yards away, has NOT. And don't expect to be able to claim bankruptcy when your medical bills have grown so high you can't see the top. You think those lobbyists paid all that money to have you default on your bills? Try getting a tissue for under $20, I dare you.
This world, this country is FUCKED. And the ones I see in charge, are the ones wielding the bible like a fucking sword, and I'm tired of having to defend my views, and fight a fight that our founding fathers tried their damnest to prevent ever having to be fought again. There is a reason they made a point to separate the church, from the government. Now we have assholes screaming at the top of their lungs that these people, didn't really mean what they said in the constitution. They really didn't mean "SEPARATE",just that government couldn't interfere in religion, not the other way around, they were born-again, dammit. Well, I was born okay the first time, thanks anyway.
So, I'm sorry if you were offended. I love you, and I don't want to hurt you. But I'm NOT going to apologize for blasting the religious right, and I'm not a bit sorry for my views. Perhaps if more people were screaming, if more were really as pissed off as they ought to be, I'd feel less strongly. But right now, I feel as if we're fighting a fight we'll never win, because most Americans are too afraid, or too lazy, to take a good hard look at their leaders, what they stand for, and what they're doing. And most of them are doing it in the name of gog.
If I were gog, I think I'd be pissed, and if he/she isn't,he/she can kiss my ass too.

The beatings will continue until morale improves...
Well fuckmotherfuckerfuckshit. You know, for a change, my house is clean. Laundry is folded, even put away, dishes are done, things have been dusted, floors have been vacuumed....and I can't decide what to do first.
I have a mosaic that I desperately need to work on. It's going to be gorgeous.
If, I ever finish it, which, would mean, I'd need to start it.
Our upstairs bathroom, is very narrow, and has a clawfoot tub in it. We've decided, at least for the moment, to forego adding a shower fixture, for fear that the shower curtain, when closed, would make it appear that you actually ARE in a shoebox. Apparently, when the house was built, indoor plumbing was a thing of the future ("I heard George say the other day that in the future, you'll be able to crap indoors!" "Never happen"). When the house caught up with the technology, which, given the wallpaper I've seen in this house, I'd say it took them a few years to even find their way to the front door, in order to leave to purchase the toilet. Talk about your eyes crossing. To continue, there was no room to put a bathroom in, upstairs, so they sliced off a section of the master bedroom, turning into a bathroom. An extremely narrow bathroom. Seriously, I can stand in the middle (almost the middle, the tub's in the way of the exact middle. yeah.), of the room, and touch both walls. So, in an attempt to make the room appear slightly wider (why is this never a problem with my ass?), I bought a large mirror, and I'm attempting a glass tile mosaic, on the mirror. If I don't manage to put an eye out, playing with the tile nippers, it should go well, LOL.
So, I can work on the mosaic, but I think I just talked myself out of that, since I did vacuum today, and I'd have to repeat that particular hated form of torture, to get the small glass shards....
I'm finishing "The Foutainhead", fantastic, stunning, in love with Roarke a little, but since I'm also crushing on the sword swallower we saw on Saturday, I may find it hard to concentrate...
I think me and my boyfriend may need some quality time tonight...
Oh Ti-Voooo.....

I hope you have a permit for that thing.
In Los Angeles, you cannot bathe two babies, in the same tub, at the same time.
In Colorado, it is illegal to lend your vacuum cleaner to your neighbor.
In Devon, Connecticut, it is illegal to walk backwards after sunset (What if it's cloudy in the evening? How do you tell if the sun has set? Does this only apply when it's obviously nighttime?)
In Indiana, if you need a little help in the reproductive area (none for me, thanks), you're fucked like a monkey trying to smoke a cigarette in South Bend.
If Sen. Pat Miller, R-Indianapolis, gets her way (yes, that's right, no need to play "It's Pat", the hag is a woman) before you attempt IUI, or IVF, you must petition the court for permission. http://www.in.gov/legislative/interim/committee/prelim/HFCO04.pdf
Seriously. I couldn't, or rather, I wouldn't, make this shit up, since it's not remotely amusing.
Single people, and faggots, need not apply.
"an unmarried person may not be an intended parent."
Now, I can see how it would be so very easy to assume that because you happen to be in love with a member of your own sex, you are much more ill-equipped to handle a child, a child that would require expensive medical intervention to conceive, let alone carry to term and raise, as opposed, to, say, the 14 year old girl down the street, dating the charming stringy-haired fellow who is, ah, dentally challenged, who isn't being taught how to prevent a pregnancy, let alone STD's, since her school now teaches an "abstinence only" program.
"A description of the family lifestyle of the intended parents is also required, including individual participation in faith-based or church activities."
http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/fortwayne/12813691.htm
So, I guess pagans, atheists, agnostics, need not apply either.
Is there anything more personal, than the decision to become a parent? Generally, people who are attempting IUI, or IVF, have struggled long and hard to become parents. It's a heartbreaking thing, infertility. Though I've been fortunate that it's not an issue for me, I have friends and family that have dealt with it. Some have had successful pregnancies, some have chosen to lovingly adopt. How DARE, another person, suggest that grown-ups, not minors, not mentally incompetent, GROWN-UPS, pass a litmus test, to be allowed access to MEDICAL CARE. Medical care, I might add, that they're paying for.
