Final Act.... Cowboy vs. Ladee.... Ladee came home a double winner !!!!! Not only did I get the display model, I got $15 knocked off the sale price...... In the past two days I have worked 22 hrs... I am tired, I needed a cup of coffee and I wasn't about to give a big happy damn about Cowboy's little feelings.... got there after work, oh, and I had been out of cigerrettes for over an hour.... bad combo, he saw me walk in the store... I never took my eyes off him and walked up to him and said, "follow me cowboy".... right behind me he walked... we went to the vacuum isle, and sure nuff, NO VACUUMS..... I turned around and he had this look like he was going to 'exert his AUTHORITY'.... bmawhahahahahahaha.... oh mercy me.... and before he could speak, I said, " Look Cowboy, I'm totally not interested in your crazy eyes, but you see that display up there,, well, you WILL sell me this one, and I really know you are going to knock some off the price for all the hassle this has been for me.... " He went about getting the display down, not happy at all, and I told him HE didn't have to be happy , I DID.... anyway, he stomps to the front and told the checker to take $15 off the sale price... YA, UH HUH, UH HUH, OH YEAH,UH HUH !!!!!!!!! I looked him dead in the eye and said...All the caregivers on AC thank you for making thier day... tho they did want some of skin off your ass, they will be happy I got what I wanted and cheaper to boot.... He was starting to not look too good by now, so I departed with my vacuum and honked when I drove by the doors.... anything ya'll need at Walmart,,,, just let me know....

Beck & Kimbee: Gee, thank you for all the writing complements. I'll see what I can do to put a story together. Imagine the amount of censorship required. I use to write a lot in my job, but my Muse has not been inspired for a long time.

On this site I have met a lot of people who I have come to love. They make me laugh, they make me cry and sometimes they make me want to go out there and just KICK SOME ASS.

I think my muse enjoys ass kicking. It comes to life; "What? An ass kicking?. Move that zip code size butt of yours over and give me that flippin keyboard!"

What is it really? It's a mental exercise in civil disobedience. We are free to imagine ourselves, our canine friends, our harried lives, our mismatched clothing, out in a Wall Mart parking lot wearing an obscene T-Shirt and hunting down the evil doer who thinks he can jerk us around one more time. The asshole who wants to put that last piece of straw on the camels back. Well, we are mad as hell and we are not going to take it any more!!!! This insignificant flee on a dogs ass must will pay the price in choosing Door #3. We are united with humanity.


On Lisa's thread the Kick Ass Girls wear nothing but blue tights and tuna cans on their boobs. Remember Wonder Woman? Well, fast forward 30 to 40 years. We still have that Kick Ass spirit, even if the tuna cans bruise our knees while we are running.

We are Care Givers and we navigate a difficult path. We take on burdens and we do our best in the most difficult situations. We can feel old sometimes, so tired and so very sad; but we share a common bond and maybe a common wound that has made us who we are. We are sisters and we love each other. We stand together and we kick ass and we are stronger than most, even when we are not sure we can move forward one more foot.

We hold each other up, we give it to God, we give it to each other and sometimes we give it to the Muse who loves to make us laugh.

Beck: Don't you feel bad when this day is over. The Muse will be back and we will be on another journey of laughter.

Love you all, Cattails

thanks Seeme Sue, now I won't be calling and asking for a loan to pay for the vacuum...lol..... sorry it didn't have as much blood and violence as some of you wanted... see, it wasn't about bloodshed, it was about getting what I needed.... I am tired of being bullied by coperate America, Doctors, Lawyers, Landladies, and neighbors..... I was walking out of there with that vacuum if I had to steal it..... it turned into a principal when he started telling me store policy.... well, uh, I would think store policy would be to have something in stock if you are going to advertise it on sale......
And I'm sure to some it was much ado about nothing... but I know my potential to get arrested in said situation , especially when I think I am RIGHT.....

But ended up with bad karma..... ever since the guy fixed my roof, I have been getting red wasps in the house, they are always in my bedroom.... killed one this evening.... came back in here to eat something and get settled to go to bed.. felt something on my neck and BAM the sob stung me on my finger..... had to laugh, and ask myself, did you REALLY get a good deal today.... YOU BET I DID... it was worth the bad karma.....

Ladee: I can't imagine you having bad Karma. JC, you put your heart and soul into the 14 hour days you work to lighten a suffering souls journey. I'm sorry if I turned your simple desire to buy a vacuum cleaner on sale into to a docudrama. We just seized on the opportunity to find something to rant about. Maybe our carrying on made more of the situation than you wanted it to be. I kind of felt that too, but was having so much fun with my crazy muse, just getting into the SYMBOL of the crux of care giving and how little things can be big things in our lives. We can't always put our foot down with those who devour our care giving hearts, but we can sure get behind kicking Cowboy's ass. It's just a fantasy, but it gets us out of our lives and gives us a huge laugh.We all enjoyed riding the bigger than live tide you were on and I apologize if my rant caused wasps to swarm on your home.

On the other hand, I agree with Beck. Your roofer needs to be our next target. If wasps are finding a way in, he didn't do the best job. Now I'm sorry; but Karma did not anticipate your Wall Mart experience. It did not plan a reason to get even with you because it knew you would read that add and Cowboy would give you grief.

Something didn't get sealed. The wasps are nesting and have access to your room. This isn't Karma, it's just reality. Call the roofer and tell him you are tired of working 14 hour days just to come home to angry wasps. Something is wrong and you want it fixed. For crying out loud, you deserve a safe place to sleep.

I'm leaving town tomorrow. Flying to North Dakota to be at my Granddaughters wedding. For some reason I'm afraid to leave. We have to board our dogs and it pains us both to leave them. It pains me to leave my dad. It pains me to leave my plants and the birds who thrive on the seed we give them everyday. And yet my Granddaughter is like my own child. She has always been a special light in my life.

We will celebrate this time in her life and be there to cherish her birth, the experience of her life and our wishes of her happy tomorrows. We will hold her up to the powers that be and ask that they pass her by with life's difficulties. But we know in our heart that her journey is her own and that she will have to find her way.

Well... i was jst settling down in my room to watch a lil tv....n wouldnt ya kno...it's Brokeback Mountain!! Could these guys b related to Walmart Cowboy???? wat a movie to end my nite..

Must share another canine adventure before turning in...
As some of u may kno...i had my "lil ass-hole" lhasa apso, grandson here overnite...but before i took him back to his parentals...he had to leave grandma with a lil surprise, that has now traumatized me...

I've been taking care of an injured bird in my backyard for the past 3 days...He had a broken wing, n i was nursing him back to flying condition...he was very content wondering behind all my shrubs, n he was doing really well. Lily saw him hopping around n went over n tried to play a little lite soccer with her, but she immediately stopped wen i let out a blood curdling.."NOOOOOO"..n the bird escaped, unharmed n went back into the shrubs...Lily has been really good about leaving it alone n jst watching it, but not getting close to it....Then there's lil ass-hole.....Apparently, while i was gone at my dr. appt today....Gus discovered my feathered friend, n decided to play "toss the bird in the air, then catch it"....my husband was home, n watched him from the window...wen he realized wat Gus was doing...he banged on the window, n Gus let go of the bird...Bill assured me that he saw the bird hop back into the shrubs....so he felt confident that he was ok.....well....wen i went out tonite to water my garden, my feathered friend was dead! That lil ass-hole was, not only playing catch, but he was mauling the poor thing in the process....i found his dead, mauled body on the lawn, n Gus really did a number on him....I called my son, n said...."That grandson of mine is an f-n bird killer".....n he jst laughed his ass off.....i'm so sad bcuz i was able to keep the lil fella alive for 3 days, until Gus arrived....I figured..if any dog was going to kill that bird, it would have been Lily, but, nooo...it was that damn lotsa-asshole...Gus wont b getting any presents from grandma for a while....n i warned my son....don't b surprised if he's coughing up feathers for a day or two....damn dog.....he may be as cute as can be....but after that.....it's all down hill!! Woof, woof....nite ladies

Beck; You are a special star. Thanks for all the well wishes. Once I get away from here I will relax. When our car starts it's journey to the other side of the peninsula and we reach the airport, board the plane and lift off, All will be well.

This is a huge moment in time for us. We will enjoy it to it's fullest extent.

Thanks Beck, I so appreciate your friendship and support.

Bye for now. I'll miss you. Love, Cat

Cat, enjoy your trip! I think you’re afraid to leave home is still the lingering effects of your full-time caregiving of your dad and dogs. Because you love them, you will still worry when you’re at the wedding. It’s only natural. I believe this is also what mothers feel when they’re teenager goes to full time college that is out-of-state. Enjoy yourself! There’s always email or texting for updates.

Ladee, the roofer didn’t do a very thorough job. It’s not karma. Whatever hole he didn’t close, the wasps found it. Best to call him back before the warranty expires. Or before you find out that you are now allergic to the wasp stings. (I read somewhere that if you keep getting stung by a bee – eventually your immunity lowers until one day, you have an allergic reaction.) So, best to get the hole fixed quickly.

Thank you everybody for the birthday wishes. It was sweet of all of you. Hubby and Connor carried me out to eat at a new steak restaurant. It was good too. I had a pinto coloda at home and a margarita at the restaurant. I was feeling no pain when i got home. Then it was time to lay connor down and that was it. That was all stormy remembers. I was out like a light!!!! But i wanted to tell ya'll that i got a early birthday gift from hubby and it was a new toyota rav 4, red in color. Got it last saturday. So me and connor are having fun with our new little toy. HeHe.
Ladee- Let me just say you go girl. You are crazy and i love you.
Got to get to bed.... Love and hugs stormyyy

Beck~ Alright so normally I'm not “special" and have actually had my IQ tested. I scored above average. However, I need a bit of help here. Is Gus a dog or your grandson? Let's just say it's late here and I didn't want to risk forgetting before getting clarification. Even so, I'd have some ill will toward my grandchild if they killed something I was trying to save.

Oh, Victoria, you too!! I thought Gus was the grandson. Then, towards the end, I changed my mind and figured it was the dog.
