MY LIVING WILL

Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said

to her, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some

machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”

She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine.

She’s such a bitch…..

The Reverends Al and Jesse….are where they should be…

They have found a cause with genuine substance.

The Jena Six..from what I gather…are [6] black teen from Louisiana…who dared to sit under a [tree] ostensibly put there by God for whites only.

The day after thier ’sit under’  ..  they came back to find three hangmens’ nooses..dangling from the tree.

This was a vile message dating back to the lynching of blacks in the South.

The white kids responsible…got a slap on the wrist [a few days suspenision].

The black teens assaulted one of the white kids…and he was hospitalized.and released the same day…..suffice to say…all of the black teens were arrested and one is still in jail…I do not condone violence…on either end.

Rightfully so…10,000 demonstrators converged on Jena protesting the racial impartiality of the judicial system in Jena…

This is sad…we thought we had seen the end of racial violence..and double standards..back in Selma, Ala. ….when  the hell are the red necks going to stop with racial discrimination..

I  applaud  both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson  for their vigilance in this case…kate

Yeah….this was way before… we got all gussied up to go fall apart on someones couch…now we take  the train,  climb the stairs…to find out what makes us tick ….

Yup, well, my  mom had the willies her own self…and if I am not mistaken…it ran in her family. What this meant was   she just wanted to be left the hell alone for a spell…what she needed was for some down time…some shut eye is all.  With a little R & R  she was up and doing…

Momma used to say about those ‘born solemn’…[humorless]

“They were just born one drink behind…” 

 Ha!   I like that…but she was not above poking fun at herself…

so I am sure my sense of humor is genetic.

as I am that sure …my style  of silly came from my Mom..although mine is a lot milder and gentler these days….of course its kind of inevitable as you get older to  see a broader picture and become more grown -up in your outlook.

I dont have a message…I guess I just want everything in the world to be okay.  love kate

Okay….duly noted…some foods have an effect on our brain chemistry.

A cup of coffee or a glass of wine…pack more mood altering power.

Eating pure carbohydrate can cause a shift in a person’s mood….calm you down…cheer you up…wow…..

Carbs are known to  calm jumpy nerves…they start a chain of events that  result in more trythophan entering the brain…[this is one of the building blocks of protein] good stuff!

Now we all know that when we are stressed out we reach for the pasta, the popcorn or the bagels…yes  yes yes….we know about the damn calories..but hey if your world is falling apart…pop a potato in the microwave…and see if you dont feel a whole  lot better….

Clearly this has to beat the hell out of taking drugs…

Me I could not face the day without a cup’a  joe….kate

dear kate,

I will try to make this short..it is a love triangle.

I have been with this girl.. well woman, she does have a child 9yo. for a whole 2 years..its a good life…I have a great job…and pay all the bills…and she stays at home…she dont get child support..

I would like to get married

do the right thing you know…but…heres the problem.. 

.she tells me she needs to see this guy she had the baby with…to make sure she is really through with him. This  is not the first time we took a break for her to re visit him in Tuscon. Am I being a fool here?  I stay behind with her child and keep things running smoothly…dont like this set up much…but she says she loves me and thats why she is with me.

My solution is for us to continue on like we are…until she either knows who she wants to be with or until one of us men gets tired of the situation and bows out on our own.  I think she is still in love with this other person.

Please give me any advice that you can in this situation, thank you Sean

Dear Sean,  

Oh good lord..has    this    guy    got it made….he lives…his life…with no responsiblility toward his ex and their child…and he graciously allows these conjugal visits to ’sort’ things out….and believe me he aint going to tire of this arrangement any time soon…

Sean —have   you ever heard of a schlamiel and a schlamozzal…..well this is it..

You see the schlamiel  is the guy that …don’t quite grasp the fact that someone is about to pour hot soup over his head….and the schlamozzal is the guy with the bowl standing over him….

You my friend are a schlamiel….sorry…but can you not see you are being played like a violin??

Take your bed roll….and get the hell outta Dodge.

If this woman and I use the term loosely had any intentions of hooking up with you…she is going at it the wrong way…and you are allowing it…

Sean my love, you cannot change her….you can only change you…and I suggest you make some changes right now..

ps..just for the record, I have little respect for boyfriend’s sleeping over when there is a child in the home…but thats me….love kate
