Old chat room conversation

fresh7up left the room

kai_brady: hahaha , such scrutiny ,

kogito71: it's about gathering info's

Hobbita: I have never been told not to know what other religious groups are doing, Kogito . In fact, I have been told that it's wise to keep well informed of world events and what other religions are doing is part of world events

yongybongybo2003: alpha, what is the apocrypha?

kogito71: i'm talking about outside UNCENSORED INFO's

popertops left the room

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Books that weren't included in the canon to make up the Bible

6packabs: yongy rediculous stuff

Hobbita: oh the apocrypha lol

yongybongybo2003: k

yongybongybo2003: ty

kogito71: Not what you get from yours

kai_brady: anybody here in SEFL

............ (cobra_head) joined the room

6packabs: yongy its like when i tried to read the Bhagavad-gita

kogito71: You should do it once

6packabs: its really boring and repetitive and no actual factual information

Hobbita: Kogito Jehovah's witnesses, a great many of them, have some rather accurate, quite often first hand knowledge of other religious beliefs It is seldom true of the reverse

kai_brady: so IS there ANYbody here in south east florida

6packabs: or information I could even quote

kogito71: What do you mean by that ?

kai_brady: and the reason for that is because alot of witness are coming from other religions

val (vhall_20) joined the room

Hobbita: Anything with Apocrypha .. apocryphal in the title is self-admitting to at the very least not being needed, at the worst to being outright lies

kai_brady: thats just my take

6packabs: semajoie: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=crystallized+silver&spell=1

shy_1012000 joined the room

cobra_head left the room

vhall_20 left the room

kai_brady: alrite i take it , thats a no then

6packabs: oops

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Some apocrypha has historic value but wasn't inspired and is evident by the author, the content and other factors

6packabs: add "definition" to the search

Hobbita: That and if you are going to be talking to Catholics, for instance, it does little good to try to explain why we are not all going to be on our own kind of planet

kai_brady left the room

kogito71: Imagine that you, as a Jehovah's Witness, wanted to convince a Roman Catholic of the errors found in the Catholic Church. But suppose that Roman Catholic would refuse to look at your literature or hear your arguments. How would you ever convince them that Roman Catholicism is wrong?

gunnerforever2003 joined the room

jimmy_iam: im not saying , dont come here or tellling anyone not to try to satisfy some spiritual need by coming in here , just dont expect an environment that is in anyway comparable to the kingdom hall

6packabs: like: http://www.brainydictionary.com/words/cr/crystallization150130.html

shy_1012000: i thought when the time came we or those who are chosen to stay would stay and clean up and take care of the earth have i been misinformed

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Using his own Bible kogito

kogito71: you use yours

Hobbita: Kogito, the Bible says they are wrong

kogito71: i use mine

Alpha Wolfs Pack: No, use his/her's

kogito71: ? If I was to give you literature which shows the error of the Watchtower, but you refuse to take it, how will you ever know about the errors of the Watchtower?"

Alpha Wolfs Pack: I used the New Jerusalem Bible many times

6packabs: bible is the bible

kogito71: NONONO

kogito71: 6 pac

Hobbita: and I know for a fact that a Pope wrote a diary and left it to the priests and in his diary he says that the mother church is wrong and is an abomination .. but he loves her so he will serve her anyway

6packabs: whats the difference? everybody sees the world differently

amorganokc joined the room

6packabs: ^^^ to kogs

Alpha Wolfs Pack: We don't Jimmy....it's a "CHATROOM"

6packabs: i am

multiminish left the room

kogito71: no reason not to be

Hobbita: which is another thing. people are on about how Jehovah's witnesses do not know what their leaders are up to, but how many Catholics know that even some of their Pope's called their religion false and against God and then continued to practice it out of love for the traditions anyway?

pretty_purple_pedals:

pretty_purple_pedals: {-x

pretty_purple_pedals:

i_preach_the_blood: I AMA TRUE JEHOVAHS WITNESS NOT A COUNTERFEIT

kogito71: Only when my GAY freind comes and harasses me i'll get mad

kogito71:

jimmy_iam: i know there are some witnesses who come into this chat room and i see them trying to use this forum to share what they believe , but i also some of the same witnesses who appear to be so dedicated and serious about the truth get carried away from time to time and ramble on about an experience or event in there lives that is of no importance and has no bearing or is in anyway connected to the truth

gunnerforever2003 left the room

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Why I entitled it chat or chatroom and put "Fun Room!"

yongybongybo2003: phew! gotta take a breather

Hobbita: It's all a joke, yongy

Alpha Wolfs Pack: lol

yongybongybo2003: talk about things he said she said do anything

pretty_purple_pedals: brb

pretty_purple_pedals left the room

kogito71: 1874

jimmy_iam: im probably foremost as one who comes here and let go and say things that are easy to spot as wordly baggage and conflict with true christian behavior and speech

pretty_purple_pedals:

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Do you think I'd walk away from a door or talking to someone on the street Jimmy who was telling me how things were going on their lives in relation to my having a scriptural discussion? I talk to many, many, many non-Witnesses nearly daily

snowboarder_guy768 joined the room

Black busts a move

jimmy_iam: im not saying to avoid or refrain from talking to others who are non witnesses , the only point im trying to get across here is that this is a risky place and those who come here are subject to all sorts of ideas , beliefs and behavior and speech that exudes with loose conduct

Alpha Wolfs Pack: The world is a risky place Jimmy

jimmy_iam: people even come here on dope and drunk

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Like I haven't met any at the door

Raven (raven_crest2001) joined the room

Alpha Wolfs Pack: I've had some fine discussions with those who had been drinking or on drugs

jimmy_iam: yes and dont expect this room to be any less risky

snowboarder_guy768: heaven forbid people come here and find our your religion is false kimmy

shy_1012000: how would we know what is the truth if we don't talk with other people to hear the lies and make up our own minds by what we see is right and wrong

phat20us joined the room

kogito71: YOU are told to "test all things" ( 1 Thess. 5:21).

Alpha Wolfs Pack: My territory for street witnesses was a main road for prostitutes and drug addicts, many stopped to listen, take literature and even greeted me whenever they saw me during their business by name...

pretty_purple_pedals: exactly Kogito

Alpha Wolfs Pack: *street witnessing

kogito71: Do you get a discount ?

Alpha Wolfs Pack: People are people

shy_1012000 left the room

shadow007m: did you know that Prince the singer is already a JW?

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Yes

Black: kogito..what are u talking about

Hobbita: He's just being creepy gross, Black

snowboarder_guy768: yeah so is micheal jackson

shadow007m: cool....

Black: lol

Hobbita: and he said he'd be nice .. tsk tsk

Black: yeah, we know that is a lie

phat20us: micheal wuz never a witness

phat20us: he was an assisiate of witness,

snowboarder_guy768: was too

Black: venus and serena...williams

awitnessforjehovah: Jacksons have never been baptized

phat20us: his mom is a witness

shadow007m: michael he was disfellowed

phat20us: he was never babtized, prince is babtized

phat20us: weird uh?

awitnessforjehovah: Yes- Prince is baptized

snowboarder_guy768: so you don't need to be baptized to be a witness

snowboarder_guy768: isn't that true

jimmy_iam: im all for being open minded and willing to talk to anyone who wants to talk to me and be just as friendly and willling to consider the opinions of others , people are basically free to say as they please in here but i know that when i disagree with someone in here or critizise them for any reason im not going to forget that they can retaliate and that what may ensue is an argument or debate and mud slinging and as humans we can all succumb to that sort of behavior if provoked enough

awitnessforjehovah: Yes but you can attend some meetings and not be a witness

shadow007m: well....Prince is cool

Hobbita: From what I heard, the dad was definitely one of Jehovah's witnesses and was disfellowshipped, then asked to stop telling people he is one of Jehovah's witnesses, and eventually threatened with a law suit if he did not stop because he was on stage in Vegas with show girls publicly declaring himself to be one of Jehovah's witnesses

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Then like I would do in that situation Jimmy is walk away and here, I use the ignore button

Alpha Wolfs Pack: A form of walking away

Hobbita: I do not know that this is true. I do know that he was still claiming it years after I was told that

yongybongybo2003: right, im gunna take my dogs 4 a walk, see ya in a bit

yongybongybo2003 left the room

kogito71: I'm busy now. Can I ignore you some other time?

jimmy_iam: so my message is dont be surprised by anything you see on this screen and dont be so quick to start ridiculing and bad mouthing someone for what they say or do in here

Hobbita:

sxanthop joined the room

pretty_purple_pedals: sorry I dont add people I dont know

Black: hi sxanthop

jimmy_iam: regardless of what someone believes or what sort of rhetoric the espouse in here ive found it okay to let things go sometimes and let everyone have their say and try to be peacable so far as it depends on you no matter what comment are made or stories that are told ,

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Hey sxanthop

Hobbita: and I find that sometimes if you don't offer a differing viewpoint when they are saying something apocryphal about Jehovah's witnesses, God, or Jesus then other people assume you agree with them

sxanthop: Hi Alpha

Alpha Wolfs Pack: I'm sure most of us endeavor to do that Jimmy, here and in the world outside

Hobbita: or assume that the one typing is the one that's right

snowboarder_guy768: here is what i don't get. witnesses don't believe in a physical ressurection, but it's all over the bible. what about when Jesus ate the fish and honeycomb?

teepee_29 joined the room

Hobbita: You should respect other people's beliefs .. and vice versa

Lisaf: hi alpha

Hobbita: Kogito, we've been through that a million kajillion times

Black: there are millions that will be save...kogito

Lisaf: hello everyone

kogito71: YES OR NO

snowboarder_guy768 left the room

jimmy_iam: this room easily becomes a madhouse at times there are no hard and fast rules in here that govern who comes here or what they say , so if someone wants to say something to me that i find offensive then dont be surprised if i just like a lot of other become a first rate mud slinger and say things that might be offensive

Lisaf: hey u ahve been asking the same question since yesterday

Black: lisa..that is just him

kogito71: ANd still no answer

Hobbita: Is a person who is out in the middle of an African jungle with no one but themselves and their family a part of the Watch Tower organization? No Does that mean he rejected the truth and has an improper heart condition? No

Black: trying to push ppls buttons

Lisaf: hello Jimmy

kogito71: well mr brown. it cany be

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Nah, kogito got his answer before...Jehovah reads hearts, we don't

Hobbita: Wrong. You are continually answered and choose to ignore it until someone says Yes, so you can tell them they are wrong

kogito71: it cant be

semajoie left the room

kogito71: because you dont have any more to be pushed

kogito71: it's done already

Black: can what be....hobbita...is answering your question right now

Hobbita: But the answer is that it's not our place to judge and we don't know all the facts of anyone

Lisaf: u are ryt alpha

Alpha Wolfs Pack: We aren't the judges...Jehovah is the judge of who or who will not be saved...his Son will soon separate the sheep from the goats

Black: kogito...trust me ...you can get to me

Black: i already now what you are about...

Black: know*

kogito71:

Black: feel sick all you want....

kogito71: i do

jimmy_iam: see another -- example of the confusion chaos and misinformation that infiltrates the room

Hobbita: over and over I tell you the same things, in different words .. and believe me I don't do it for your benefit, because you don't want to listen I do it for the benefit of the people you try to mislead with your question

roberto_kalmi joined the room

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Hobbita

kogito71: a question that eve a child could answer

Hobbita: although, there is always the hope you'll listen eventually

kogito71: n*

kogito71: ?

kogito71: lol

Hobbita: an answer that even a child could hear

Alpha Wolfs Pack: You answer kogito

kogito71: but your'e all well trained

Black: kogito..is a child guys

kogito71: we know that

Hobbita: That's a good idea

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Who will God save and not save?

Alpha Wolfs Pack: You answer that for the room kogito

kogito71: 144 000

Hobbita: Yes, please, Kogito Let's hear your answer

kogito71: no women

pretty_purple_pedals: LOL...Kogito....everyone knows you and that you will ask the same question over and over again, no matter how many times you have been answered, Now be nice

Hobbita: Is that your belief Kogito? I'm surprised

Lisaf: why not Kognita?

semajoie joined the room

kogito71: no that is not my beliefe

Hobbita: Well, then, why give that as an answer?

jimmy_iam: well is anyone going to respond to that tidbit of misinformation

kogito71: that is the spreaded truthe

Hobbita: We wanted to know YOUR answer

Alpha Wolfs Pack: No, want to know who you think God will save and not save kogito

Black: lol

Hobbita: Everyone?

kogito71: Brown I could make a monkey out of you, but why should I take all the credit?

kogito71: even the JW's

Black: well, you aint really for me...

Hobbita: Even the people who say they hate God and who want to kill and rape?

kogito71: He is a forgiving god

kogito71: a god of love

kogito71: yes em

kogito71: Yes beauty, even them

bowasbunch309 joined the room

Hobbita: Sure, he's forgiving. . but how will there be no more sorrow or sickness or death with people like that around? Unless there is no more free will?

community use: Michael, the Archangel, died for our sins. Pray to this angel, for he is God.

bowasbunch309:

Hobbita: Some of them, probably .. mental health issues always being, well, an issue

Alpha Wolfs Pack:

jimmy_iam: pharmakia

bowasbunch309: bad means bad i only graduated highscool

Black: lol...kogito....get a life

kogito71: I bet your mother has a loud bark!

Hobbita: lol Well, it's bad for me, regardless of spiritual issues

amorganokc: Community, if you believe that michael the archangel died for our sins, then you claim Jesus is not God

amorganokc: and you are saying that Jesus is Michael.. right?

Hobbita: You know, I don't want to encourage insulting, but that was kind of funny

Black: paradise

bowasbunch309: is anyone actually a jehovahs witness in here

Black: no more pain....out cry...

amorganokc: Then Community, you would believe that Michael is the savior

amorganokc: right?

Hobbita: that was not so funny, much cruder

amorganokc: what's up bow

kogito71: Want more ?

Black: you are not ready for me...

jimmy_iam: pot smoking what about it

kogito71: Here's 20 cents. Call all your friends and bring back some change!

amorganokc: <--- ignored kog

awitnessforjehovah: back- what are we discussing?

Black: you can't make a call with 20 cents

kogito71: you got it !!

bowasbunch309: somebody reenstate me

Hobbita: kind of cute .. a little too obscure

Black: that is why i have a cell phone...

steeple_man44 joined the room

amorganokc: what's up bow

Black: lol

Alpha Wolfs Pack:

bowasbunch309: i need reenstatement

kogito71: Then go ahead brown, tell them everything you know. It'll only take 10 seconds.

amorganokc: reenstatement?

Black: you need medical help

Black: lol

Black:

bowasbunch309: medical help?

kogito71: As an outsider, what do you think of the human race?

Hobbita: Black is a wonderful so and so who knows .. well, something anyway

amorganokc: <--- decided to give kog another chance... but was let down again... ignoring permanently

Hobbita: now that was cute, kogito

kogito71: ty amor

kogito71: ?

Lisaf: hey Kogoto i thought u were trying to be spiritual

Hobbita: a person just came online who is on my friends list .. and I don't know who they are!

jimmy_iam: there is no reason to think more of ourselves than is neccessary , all the knowledge and so called smarts in the world will not save us , jehovahs people take in so much information it can be tempting to admire ourselves , our intellect or other abilities , its pride and boasting or drawing attention to ourselves and what we know and how smart we are is an unattractive trait

kogito71: thats another room

Black: who are we in a race againist kogito

Black: the are the only one

Hobbita: apparently it's unattractive to just know stuff

Lisaf: person who wants to be "Saved"

sponge_bob_square_thong joined the room

bowasbunch309: i'll go to paradise

bowasbunch309: i hope so anyway

Hobbita: If someone asks you a question more than once and you know the answer, then you're a show off, a know it all, a bitch, slut, whiner, and fat ass to boot

Hobbita: That is the world for you

kogito71: lisa , i let every one his belief, one must only explain it to me witout using bibletexts or answer around the coyner.

Hobbita: But that's just me being a liar, anyway

kogito71: I am an old stupid fool, so i dont have any educ. and need straight answer to understand

amorganokc: that makes you an atheist kog

kogito71: BUT I DONT GET THEM HERE

Hobbita: uhm, why would you want an answer that wasn't from the Bible, kogito, when the Bible is the Holy Scripture and many base their lives on the content therein?

Alpha Wolfs Pack: John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

Hobbita: oh, short and sweet then kogito, ready:

bowasbunch309: well see you all in paradise I gotta lay down i broke my arm the other night

awitnessforjehovah: Why does it bother you so much what we believe Kogito?

kogito71: So not one of you has an own oppinion ?

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Sorry to hear that bowasbunch

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Hope you feel better

amorganokc: What's your question kog?

kogito71: because i am trying to understand you

Hobbita: You didn't ask for our opinion, you asked for belief

bowasbunch309 left the room

amorganokc: I'll give you my opinion.. what's your question

awitnessforjehovah: it does not appear so- all I have seen you do is bash people

Hobbita: belief is based on fact, the facts are from the Bible

Lisaf: and do u think that any human can give u straight answer? I DONT THINK SO

awitnessforjehovah: that is more hate than trying to understand

Hobbita: Kogito, I will tell you who gets saved. Short and sweet and no scriptures quoted:

semajoie: in your opinion - all who are in this room - what does "taking in knowledge" mean?

kogito71: Does a person have to be part of the Watchtower organization to be saved?

Lisaf: i well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step Jeremiah 10:23

amorganokc: No

steeple_man44: wow jimmy thats an understatement ?But couldi add that the key is all the knowlege cant save no head knowlege can only when we attain to that HEART KNOWLEGE OF FAITH IS THERE TRUE SALVATION and it is not taught at the hall .At the hall its all in the Right head knowkege and a rightious life of works for watchtower who keeps the books and FORGIVENESS THROUGH JESUS SHED BLOOD is not where its at .Jesus is taught but not utilized its all to Jehovah bypassing Jesus but utilizing some of his teachings

amorganokc: No. Kog.. a person does not have to be part of the Watchtower to be saved

Lisaf: we need Gods Guidance and it is in the BIBLE

Hobbita: Whomever is found worthy regardless of any factors man might judge by

Alpha Wolfs Pack: John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

jimmy_iam: i cant remember for sure isnt that john 17, 3 like the first step to becoming a dedicated servant of jehovah

amorganokc: and no one can show you in the Bible where it says that you must be in the Watchtower

kogito71: contradicts the Watchtower. GB 52, 53, 163, 164

pretty_purple_pedals left the room

Hobbita: see, I knew it .. you just want to be that way

Hobbita: and what is GB?

sponge_bob_square_thong: joe

amorganokc: It may contridict the watchtower.. but the watchtower claims to be based on the Bible.. show show me where in the Bible where it says that

steeple_man44: YES ALPHA JESUS CHRIST is where its at and watchtower doesnt use the name Christ they say its pagan so why use it??

amorganokc: you won't find it

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Why lie steeple?

Hobbita: that is completely untrue steeple_man

Alpha Wolfs Pack: You are doing someone's work but it isn't from the Bible Steeple

amorganokc: Steeple.. that's a complete contridiction..

amorganokc: Jesus name in translated from the Greek is "Jehovah Saves"

kogito71: Can the Bible be interpreted correctly only by the Watchtower?

Hobbita: Christ is a title Jesus the Christ or Jesus Christ

steeple_man44: well is Christ used in the new world translation and difine in watchtowers definition where the word came from?

amorganokc: No kog.. it's not the Watchtower's job to interpet the bible

steeple_man44: YES CHRIST IS JESUS THE ANNIONTED ONE

Alpha Wolfs Pack: Steeple, you just lied so who's will are you doing? John 8:44

Black: christ is used in the NWT

kogito71: contradicts Watchtower GB 166, 167, 171

Hobbita: Kogito, you have proven yourself unworthy to reply to. You do not seek knowledge but argument and you lie to get it

steeple_man44: in what did i lie alpha

steeple_man44: what words were a lie

kogito71: no

kogito71:

steeple_man44: i will admit if you can tell me

amorganokc: Kog.. I'll talk to you

Hello. Uhm .. not sure how to say this.  I’m not actively looking for anything romantic or sexual or anything like that, because, quite frankly, my life is a royal mess. But, I read your ad and it intrigued me, all the same. I, too, am rather laid back and a fiction writer.  So, if you don’t have anything against fat chicks, with messy kitchens, who believe in God, perhaps you’d like to get to know each other via email and maybe hang out or something. Or, you know, you could just submit to me now, marry me up and become my love slave. lol   I attach a startlingly bad photo. Or, perhaps it is a startlingly good photo and I’m just kidding myself xx

I am now waiting to be soundly ignored and/or insulted in some manner, as that is what usually happens, when sexual innuendos are not flying about like rabid bats, instead; but, one never knows, if one does not try.

Also, as those of you who are related to me (should anyone ever read this blog) should be quick to note, he looks an awful lot like Eric. Not exactly, but, within the same basic genetic makeup, to be sure.

it’s a fun, interactive fantasy piece. Just finish the thought from the subject line within your comment. Feel free to comment more than once, too; and, yes, links to sites, artwork of yours, or googled images are permitted to illustrate your fantasy . Do not post anything that is nude or pornographic or about hate crime. thank you.

If I could travel back to the 1970's, I would ...

.. head straight to McDonalds

and order their orange juice,

which had less water and better prices back then.

Cowboys and Aliens

We went to see Cowboys and Aliens, last night, me and Roberta. IL was going to, maybe, take all the boys, if they had been paying me, but, they have not done, yet; was going to take Jordan, anyway, but, he decided not to go at the last minute.

There were more people at the theater for that one movie than there usually are for all the movies combined. Very good movie! The thing is, at one point I noticed that this one scene was so much like the Owls of .. wherever the owls are from, that it was weird. Last night, I realized that the basic storyline is the same, as well.  That dampened my enjoyment of the film, in memory; but, still, it was good.

Yesterday, I got some dishes washed, clothes put away, more trash out, put the smaller vacuums out in that storage "shed" (more of a large rolling storage cart), and, after watching the movie and another movie at Roberta's then coming home, I wrote a new bit on the never-ending story.  Thanks to Jehovah, who I have been praying to  for help in straightening out my life.

Oh, and I finally finished reading that one chapter of Leviticus. Don't think I mentioned it on this blog, but, there was a chapter I was reading, and I got very tired about halfway through, and just never took it up again. No, that does not mean I was not reading the Bible. I've been reading it online, and the chapter I hadn't finished was offline, in a proper book.

Made chili spaghetti for dinner. Most of my tomato sauce really is gone and the one can of tomato paste that I could find hissed at me when I opened it, so I ended up using refried beans to thicken the sauce, which I had added vegetable broth to so there would be liquid besides olive oil. Also added the rest of the red and yellow bell peppers and a bag of mixed frozen veggies (California Medley type) and a can of Fry's chili beans. The end result was good to me and it must have been good to the boys, as the pan is nearly gone.

This morning, the trash is out, waiting to be emptied and I did not have to take it to the sidewalk, because, I asked Jordan to do it and he did it. Hopefully, it really will be emptied as I have more to fill it back up with, already waiting; and, some of it is quite stinky. Including a cantaloupe that was never eaten, as we put it off and put it off, then, last week, when we really were going to eat it, we read about a listeria outbreak in cantaloupe and the article suggested that if you do not know where your cantaloupe came from, to get rid of it.

I am heating up some of my leftover chili spaghetti for breakfast ( knowing I shall be mightily gassy all day) and  was making ready to transfer some more artwork off of Red Bubble; but, that was before I decided I had better eat something.

I've recently found and started taking, again, the Three Spice Sinus Complex pills I had bought from Warehouse Vitamins some time ago. They must be working, because, when I did stupid things and bought a package of two cookies and a package of cinnamon bears for me and Roberta to share, I realized I could smell them, and not just a little bit. However, the pills really do a number on my tummy, if it has nothing else in it.

So, I think  a little HGTV is in order, while I eat. Then, maybe some transferring of art.

Good morning!

It is a lovely 10:13 am, with heat rising from the pavement faster than an egg can fry (whatever that means) and I am here, alone, as the boys, of varying ages and sizes, have all gone tripping off to ?? Hopefully to find gainful employment, so that they can come home with many lovely presents of $10 bills for me. I won't hold my breath, though.

Got some clothes put away, some hamburger out to make dinner, and managed to block that one site I have trouble not going back to. Actually, I did that before I went to bed, or, after I got up again and then before I went back to bed.

Cricket (grasshopper?) problems, last night. I was almost asleep and one of them thwacked the tin foil on the window. Others were rustling around. I think they might be eating it! There are little holes in many places. Grasshoppers are weird!

Anyway, hard to sleep with crickets and/or grasshoppers climbing about, jumping, thwacking aluminum foil, rustling worse than cattle thieves .. even the ones who fry eggs on sidewalks .. and generally living up to the title of "Bug". So, I got up, found myself on that site again, and someone tried to send me a virus, again. Fortunately, I had a new privacy firewall thingy installed.

Tonight, I shall probably make spaghetti, or, I might make a stew. Anyway, probably it will be one for one night and the other for the next night, as it is rather a large thing of ground beef and I had been too lazy to divide it up when it was purchased. Fortunately, it will be feeding 5 people, probably on both nights, so, it is not as bad as trying to plan meals for only one or two people, like when Erica was here.

That was a joke. See if you can catch it.

For breakfast, because it was one of the easiest things to find and utilize, I am having an old can of Wolfgang Puck's Chicken and Dumplings.

Arggghhh!

So, as per many conversations last night and yesterday in general, my nephew and his g irlfriend are probably going to be moving out to his friend's place. The boy (and I use the term loosely because he is about 30 years old), went out and immediately got a job interview - which I pointed out to my sister means that, if he got one that quick when he thought he had to move, he could have done the same thing a year ago and been paying the bills - and, instead of wanting to stay and pay things off, is planning on moving out and leaving his mother in the lurch.

Because he is planning on doing that,my sister and our lovely parents were talking of ways to keep both this house and the duplex and, basically, making plans without me. Some of those plans were for her to move into this house and live by herself and some of them were for her to move in and live with me, and some of them were for me to be forced to live in that dank, damp, dungeon of a two-bedroom apartment where my nephew and his girlfriend lived. Which, by the way is partly dank and damp form them having lived there.

Needless to say, it is quite upsetting. Here, much cleaning has been done, I've found roommates, I'm becoming more self-sufficient, and, their only thoughts for me are that they can bully me about and do as they please, as I , like my sister, do not have enough money to pay all my own bills.

I need more money coming in, some way.

Clean up has commenced

No money from anyone, but, at least they put in some good work, today. Still much to do by way of sorting out what to keep, but, the major trash is gone and the back room is semi-habitable. So, that's very cool.

Did not take my supplements last night (actually it would have been this morning as it was past 2:30 am before I went to bed), but, I'll try to remember to do it, tonight. I did remember them, last night, after I laid down, but, I was so sore.

My sister invited her son and his girlfriend to use her car to look for work in the morning, this morning, but ,they refused to go do it; and, that is after she explained the situation to them, that they had to find a job or they had to move out. So, Mom is writing them up an eviction notice and serving it upon them. Or, maybe Roberta is serving it upon them. Not sure. Anyway, they have definitely been being problematic in ways.

What really gets me is that they stole my food. No wait - I don't mean that just the way it sounds. It is that  they know I am poor, they know they get more food stamps than me - okay and that's just part of it - because, they know I was sharing food with Roberta, on her days off, quite often; and, they know I sometimes buy her stuff when we are out or if she takes me shopping for groceries, so they are also hurting her and they are hurting the situation between themselves and her. But, wait, there's more.

My nephew thought my son stole things from his  mom. This is not a "did he or didn't he issue", this is a he thought it happened, so, acting on his belief that it happened, he did what he thought was right. He beat my son up and has basically disowned him. He can't forgive him. He says it is unforgivable to steal from family.
Yet, he stole my food or at least he allowed someone else to steal it, and I don't see anyone's ass getting kicked or anyone getting shunned for it. And, since it was something I shared with his mother, sometimes, they stole her food as well. So, he did, in effect the same thing he thought my son did .. except ...

The things my son was accused of stealing were entertainment related. Food is survival. No one dies from not enough Braveheart; but, one can die from not enough food.

I want him to kick his own ass, for stealing from his mother and then to shun himself and refuse to ever give himself another cigarette or get himself stoned. Then, I want him to do it again, because, he stole from me.
Then, more importantly, I want him to start empathizing with people, understanding them from the viewpoint of the standards he has for himself, including allowing himself to fail but still treating himself as a member of the family, rather than the standards he can't live up to, but, which he holds other people up to and judges them by.

And, for the record, this was not just a little bit of food. Oh, I had my suspicions before this last week, that things were missing, but, I didn't write down everything I bought and all that, and the freezer was still fairly full. But, having the EBT card lost, having the problems with DES that I've been having, my sister having the problems that she's been having, I got worried.

Well, no, that's not st rictly accurate. I was worried if there was enough food; but, I noticed it happened because I was going to enhance some leftover spaghetti with frozen spinach and Italian Sausage and what I found was that the Italian Sausage that I had distinctly found and set in a convenient place, in case I wanted to use it for that very thing, the night before, was gone.

While searching for it, I found that almost all the frozen veggies and packages of chicken, etc. were also gone. I had one big chub of hamburger, 1 package of steaks, 2 packages of chicken, 2 things of Almond milk and 3 packages of frozen veggies left.

I should have had at least 6 things of Almond Milk left, and at least 8 packages of chicken, along with 4 or 5 packages of Italian Sausage, a few packages of chuck steak, some country style ribs, some pork chops (not sure how many)  and a buttload of California style frozen veggies, frozen spinach, frozen green beans, mixed veggies (the kind that says for soup, but is like good quality Veg-All), some burritos, some more hot pockets, a package of chicken nuggets and another package of hamburger patties. And, that's what I, for sure, remember, that's missing.

Am watching a movie called Troll Hunter, which got some spectacularly lousy reviews on Netflix, though it got some good ones as well. So far, I am enjoying it, immensely, and would recommend it.

Oh, DES sent me a notice that they cut me off of Food Stamps, because, allegedly I did not make it to an interview on September 16th. However, I told them I had to do the interviews at home, for one thing; for another, I received no notice there would be an interview and no phone call from them. And, I did receive a letter telling me approval was pending them having all information by the 3rd of October and all information was turned in Friday, September 30th.

But, these are the people who have several different addresses on file for me, as well. So ...
