| Friends Only Journal Alert! Don't you hate those? |
[Jan. 1st, 2010|07:32 pm] |
Anyways...I don't have an interesting journal. I am a normal person with a full time job, a husband and a daughter. I don't have IRL friends and don't go out much but you never know what weird thing might happen next.
Comment and maybe I'll add you back! ;)

I just saw a commercial and thought 'what makes them move?' I mean, a Mexican jumping bean has a bug in there so what are in these? I can't find anything online that tells me! I wouldn't want to wear something alive on my ears lol.... and they aren't battery operated.

Maybe the year... I would do financial things differently but other than that I would leave it all the same. Even the bad things because you learn from them. |

| Train ride this morning |
[Sep. 3rd, 2009|07:16 am] |
This will probably be a little long but I have to put this down... it
was that sad/funny/shocking.
5:00 this morning I get on my train. There is a woman and a man that get
on the same car as me. There are probably more than 60 seats on this car
alone and we're the only three. She sits in the very front seat for the
elderly and disabled and puts her bag next to her on the other seat. I
get on, sit on the other front seat out of habit but I'll move if
someone needs it.
The guy gets on, now they both stood waiting for the train, he doesn't
have that older pot belly look and I saw her walking quickly without
effort from her car to the train. They both get up the stairs without a
problem.
He goes straight to her and tells her he wants to sit in the seat next
to her. Remember, 60 or so empty seats, we're the only 3 on the train.
She tells him she's saving the seat for an elderly man getting on in 2
stops and shows him that there is another seat next to me. He tells her
that she needs to move her stuff so he can sit there. She said no. The
train operator comes out and they call him over. He tells the operator
'she won't let me sit there'. The train operator (probably because it's
5am) gives them the WTF look and said 'there is a seat right over there'
and points in my direction. My stuff is not on the other seat, it is
open and I point to it.
He says to the woman 'I'm disabled!' and she comes back with 'I'm
disabled too!' so remember, both seemingly healthy people unless their
thumbs were disabled or something are arguing about who's more disabled
*I'm loling inside*.
He stands over her arms crossed and just stares at her, she back at him.
The operator leaves. At this point it gets a little sad because she
tells him again about the elderly man and saving him a seat on an EMPTY
TRAIN and he goes on about how he intends to sit there.
I move because I'm not disabled and he tells her she's breaking the
rules and doens't even have to sit in the disabled section (WTH man?
Looking at him, he works out even for an older man, buffer on the top,
slimmer waist so I can't see how he was 'disabled' either. I go to
another seat in the middle of the train also because I'm about to take
out some school stuff and *gasp* put it on a seat next to me for a
minute and didn't want to be his next target. It's obvious he's just
antagonizing her. I'm married to someone that does that lol!
Security comes in... they go over the entire thing and the security
guard gives them the WTH look again and tells them he's going to 'let
them handle it' and leaves. Major lulz!
He finally tells her he will 'let it go this time' and sits in the other
seat *dumbass*. A few stops down her friend gets on and she has to
retell the entire ordeal in HER favor making the man that got on do fist
gestures at the other 'disabled' man.
My problem with this... they both seemed fine. There were no walking
canes, walkers, boots, need for the lift or anything for either of them.
How were they disabled? Did they sprain a pinky in a former life?
Besides the point... did this disability cause them to NOT be able to
scooch over one seat and sit next to a window without the open space in
front of them? Neither were that overweight that it would be
uncomfortable, that I could understand. If you can't scooch then sit on
the outer seat and let someone slide on in.
Or... if the elderly man got on, why couldn't HE sit on the outer most
seat behind another seat? Or when you hit 'elderly' do you also hit a
stage to where you can't sit on the sideways facing seats? Besides,
people will move out of those front seats for an elderly person standing
there.
Either way they were both right and both wrong. It was stupid and caused
a bunch of stupidness that could have been avoided.
Right - Yes the seats are for the elderly and disabled. If you are
either of those then you sit there because it's easier to get on and off
the train. It was nice of her to save that seat despite NOBODY being on
the effin train. He was right in that she can't take up two seats to
save it or use her backpack to 'keep' a seat.
Wrong - Neither were obviously disabled in fact I hope I'm in as good of
shape as that man was when I hit that age. She can't save a seat for
someone that might get on the train that morning.
Here is my opinion as to who needs those seats... someone with a cane,
walker, boot or crutches, or some kind of injury even if your arm is in
a sling because it's hard to grab onto the rail and slide over
sometimes. Someone that has a hard time walking or because those seats
are all fit for smaller people and a lot of people are just larger,
someone that has a hard time moving around in one of those other more
confined seating aisles. If you're bigger then cool. Also mothers with
strollers or smaller kids or people that have to haul a bunch of stuff
with them and can't fit into that small corner seat. Those people should
get the first rights to those seats IMO.
Oh and ready for this?
The elderly man never got on the train! |

| Writer's Block: The Right to Privacy |
[Aug. 16th, 2009|08:10 pm] |
I think there should be things off limits. Just because they wanted to entertain us doesn't mean we can butt into their lives all the time and into every single detail. Now if you were in a position of power and leadership and running oh say a country then yeah we'd need to know if you were a good person or if you were doing drugs or something but an actor/actress/singer? No I think they deserve a certain amount of privacy in their own lives. |

It's embarassing! I've seen much better stockpiles in people's houses before. I need to improve this but at least it's more organized now. It's hard to see but behind the things in front are many more of the same things. Certain things I need to add to my list of 'do not get unless free' are shampoo and conditioner, razors, toothpaste, pads, tomato soup, bbq sauce and maranade to name a few.
I have a friend that had to get food stamps and boy is she making the most of them! She's doing the GG and stocking up like nothing else.

[Jul. 31st, 2009|06:34 pm] |
Before:
Twilight bedroom :D
So Steve ripped up the carpeting, painted the dark blue walls white and we went nuts with the purple. It seemed risky but in the end, I think it's beautiful. Moreso in person than in the pictures. It's fantastic for a girl's room!

This weekend I played with the closet floor. You can see how it's all gross but then we took out the carpet, pulled up the nail thingys and then swept it. I didn't etch it or prep it or fill in the holes, I used the paint splatters and glue marks when we put the stain down. It took, it's waterproof and I like it alot better than before. And it took about $8 and a couple of hours. Click to make the pictures bigger.
Oh we used a pecan colored WOOD stain on the floor so it won't chip!

This is undoubtedly the most expressive picture I've ever seen of an
animal. You can almost hear him say these words; You want me to do
what?? The look on this dog's face is priceless.... I'm not smellin'
those! |

I rarely join new communities but a friend of mine created this one:
http://community.livejournal.com/smallville_love/
Sorry I don't know how to do community tags :)
It's new and it won't be a drama filled place. I totally love Smallville despite the weird things it's doing to the original Superman storyline but no matter.
Join I tell you! |
