My latest work is trying to get the public health officials to investigate the sources of impulse noise that are being used to terrorize the neighborhood. vjhamilton.info
Been a long, hard year, struggling to make it on $81/week.
Thanks to the Universe for blessing!

Haven't crocheted much since my friend was murdered across the street in March. I've definitely got to find a way out of this place, though I do have some neighbors I will miss immensely. The place is too much changed for the worse, with all the gangs, drugs, and guns that seem to be running the place instead of the police and elected officials.
Imagine, a thug coming from the gang house across the street came out of prison with a gang name tattooed on his face! He has absolutely no desire to do anything in the legitimate world, at least that's what his tattoo says to me. No respect for self and definitely none for others. That group hasn't noticed Obama's presidency. They could care less. So much for the role model theory.

| You Scored as True Alternative You are a True Alternative! Labels do not suit you well, particularly as you tend to strike your own path and to grow purely via experience. No armchair quarterbacking for you! Originality and creation are your specialities, and sometimes you can even articulate what the hell just happened. Someday you may find yourself drawing the maps for other people... lots of other people.

Couldn't remember my password to get this posted from the quiz site, so pasted it in myself.
Fun.

India has been the site of many armed conflicts for decades, but the current siege, its scope and intensity are very new developments.
On this Thanksgiving, I am grateful that I am not in Mumbai, but very sorry for all of the people suffering in the current conditions of strife. No one should be forced to suffer through such an ordeal.

Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words? Submitted By |
When I tried to start the truck, no go. That didn't make sense because it has gas, all the lights, bells, and whistles were operational. I started to smell gas and opened the door. I tried starting my baby again. No go, but the smell and sound of gas splashing from underneath the vehicle was loud and clear.
Got out, looked underneath and saw that the fuel line was disconnected. I tried to reconnect it, but no go, so I got on the horn and called AAA.
First, I was told that AAA would not tow the truck if it was leaking gasoline and that the fire department had to inspect it and ok it for towing. I then called three fire departments, each of them telling me that they had never heard of such a requirement. Finally, I called AAA back and asked for a tow because my vehicle would not start. Lesson learned? Never give any more information than is required if you want to avoid runaround and needless hassle.
Kilo came and picked us up and deposited us at Champion Chevrolet in Long Beach. They were waiting for me and are now fixing my baby.
Soon, I'll be back on the road again in my truck. I really love my truck. It is a stick and drives very nicely on the highway using cruise control. I have driven stick all my life and never had access to cruise control before. It is a godsend; I don't have to watch my lead foot anymore. Just set it and guide us through the night. It doesn't hurt that the truck is still under warranty, either. Having no money is not a hindrance on this day!
I think the fuel line was disconnected by a couple of pit bull puppies that scaled a chain link fence to come into my yard. I'd never seen dogs do that, only the cats. Maybe they learned how by watching the cats. At any rate, when I discovered them in my yard, I invited them out by opening the gate. One pupply took the cue, but the other one stayed hidden under the truck. He came out later and scaled the fence to get out. At least, no person was trying to steal my gasoline!

More often, it seems, people actively dampen the spark, causing it to come close to perishing for lack of good fuel. It burns low, will flare up with acts and thoughts of goodwill, then burn low again with the liberal application of negativity.
We are not dealing with two confliciting sources of life, only one that we continually abuse and neglect. There is no evil, save that we create ourselves. There is no good, save that we create ourselves. There is only the Divine Spark that seems to burn brightest when we apply the fuels of kindness and goodwill to ourselves and others.
There is, in each of us, the Divine Spark. It is up to each of us to make it flash and burn brightly or to let it ebb to its lowest level while sustaining life, barely.

Not content to limit my search to just one law firm, I emailed 13 others. Received a canned response from one, who is on vacation, but have heard nothing from the other 12.
Meanwhile, I crochet on.
