ANOTHER SAD DAY:
IT'S MY LITTLE BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY AND ALL
HE REQUESTED WAS A CAKE FROM CARVEL. SO I BOUGHT HIM ONE. THEN HE ASKED ME WHO WAS COMING AND I HAD TO TELL HIM NO ONE.
WE HAD TRIED TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY ON SUNDAY BUT THEN OF COURSE THAT'S WHEN SHE DIED. SO WE CANCELED THOSE PLANS.
IN THE "OLDEN DAYS" WE CALLED IT TMR now THEY CALL IT MENTALLY CHALLENGED OR MENTALLY HANDICAPPED.
WE REALLY HAVE ONLY ONE RELATIVE LEFT AND SHE'S GOING TO THE FUNERAL TONIGHT.
I DON'T WANT TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE DEATH BECAUSE HE'S HAD TOO MUCH DEATH LATELY.

SAD DAY:
MY ELDERLY RELATIVE WENT TO HEAVEN TODAY.
AUG 25, 2006
ISSUES:
1. MY HUSBAND IS STILL LOOKING FOR THE MOTHER CAT AND 6TH KITTEN. (I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THEM WHEN HE DOES CATCH THEM. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A VET HAVING A PAYMENT PLAN?
2. DID YOU KNOW THAT UNLIKE AOL, YOU CAN HAVE SEVERAL EBAY LOG ONS. MEANING
YOU CAN BE LOGGED ON TO EBAY ON AS MANY COMPUTERS AS YOU WANT. WHICH IS HOW MY ACCOUNT WAS HIJACKED THE OTHER DAY.
EVEN THOUGH I WAS LOGGED ON. SOMEONE ELSE WAS ABLE TO LOG ON AND MAKE ADDITIONAL LISTINGS WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. IT WAS REALLY SCARY, LIKE BEING VIOLATED. I CAN RELATE TO THOSE CREDIT CARD COMMERCIALS NOW.
3. ANOTHER THING THAT HAS COME UP THIS WEEK, IS ASKING FOR HELP. I DON'T GET IT.
IS MY SITE NOT FRIENDLY?
CASE IN POINT. A PERSON VIEWING THIS WEBSITE, LOVING IT, WRITES MESSAGE ABOUT HOW GREAT IT IS. SEES HELPFUL INFO HERE BUT DOESN'T ASK QUESTIONS.
THEN GOES TO THE ROOTSWEB SITE AND SEES INFO THERE AND ASKS QUESTION. I ASKED HER WHY SHE DID NOT ASK HER QUESTION WHILE VISITING THIS SITE AND SHE SAID IT HAD NEVER OCCURED TO HER TO ASK UNTIL SHE GOT TO THE ROOTSWEB SITE.
OH, WELL NOT A CLUE IN THE WORLD.

MENTALLY IT'S BEEN A VERY ROUGH 48 HOURS.
IT ALL STARTED YESTERDAY ABOUT 11AM. WHEN MY HUSBAND CALLS ME FROM HIS PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AND SAYS THAT HE JUST SAVED 5 KITTENS FROM BEING RUN OVER BY AN 18 WHEELER IN HIS COMPANY'S LOADING DOCK.
IT SEEMS THAT THE MOTHER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING HER KITTENS FROM THE SEWER RESIDENCE TO A PLACE IN THE WARE HOUSE WHEN THE TRUCK CAME. SHE MANAGED TO GRAB ONE AND RUN.
MY HUSBAND AND HIS CO-WORKERS GOT THE TRUCKER TO STOP IN TIME AND HE RESCUED THE KITTENS.
THEY LOOKED HORRIBLE, CUTE BUT HORRIBLE.
I'D SAY ABOUT 5 WEEKS OLD, AND FLEA BITTEN AND THEIR EYES WERE CRUSTY, AND RED.
I TRIED TO GET THE MOTHER OUT BY USING HER KITTENS CRYING FOR HER. OF COURSE I'D JUST FED THEM AND THEY FELL ASLEEP SO THERE WENT THAT IDEA.
I WAITED AN HOUR AND NO MOTHER RETURNS FOR HER KITTENS.
SO I TOOK THEM TO THE VET THAT I KNOW IS WORKING WITH HOPE FOR LIFE RESCUE, I'D PUT THE LINK TO THEIR WEBSITE HERE BUT THEY ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AGAIN.
THE WOMAN SAID THAT SHE WOULD TAKE THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE SICK AND THAT THEY HAD EATEN ON THEIR OWN. SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER NURSING FEMALE IN HER CARE AT THE MOMENT.
OF COURSE MY HUSBAND AND CO-WORKERS ARE STILL TRYING TO CATCH THE MOTHER AND THE LAST KITTEN.
OF COURSE AFTER ALL THIS. I CAME HOME TO FIND OUT MY EBAY SELLERS ACCOUNT HAD BEEN HACKED INTO. I WAS TERRIFIED, SOMEONE HAD LISTED A MOTORCYCLE UNDER MY NAME. ALL I SELL IS BOOKS, WITH SOME HELP FROM OTHER EBAY'ERS AND EBAY, WE WORKED IT ALL OUT. I STILL HAVE THE STRESS HEADACHE THIS AM.
THEN
ON THE WAY TO THE LIBRARY THIS MORNING I HEAR:
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACH BEHIND ME. IT'S A GUY ON A MOTORCYLCE. SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME, WHEN HE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, HE ENDED UP NEXT TO ME. I JUST SAT THERE AND CRIED.
WHAT ELSE? NOT A CLUE, BUT WE DO HAVE AN ELDERLY RELATIVE DOCTORS PREDICT WILL BE ON HER WAY TO HEAVEN IN THE NEXT 14 DAYS OR SO.
ANOTHER THING TO WORRY AND STRESS OVER.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY GOOD NEWS?

WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! ACCORDING TO YESTERDAY'S BEACON WHICH IS PART OF THE VIRGINIAN PILOT IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY LOCAL WHO DOESN'T GO TO OCEAN FRONT BETWEEN APRIL AND OCTOBER EITHER.
IT SEEMS THAT VIRGINIA BEACH EFFORT TO CREATE A FAMILY ATMOSPHERE DOWN AT THE OCEAN FRONT IS BACK FIRING JUST A LITTLE.
THEY WANT YOU TO COME DOWN THERE AND SPEND YOUR MONEY WITHOUT PARKING. AKA STAY IN A HOTEL AND SPEND A FEW DAYS. OTHERWISE YOU NEED TO PARK IN ONE OF THOSE PRIVATELY OWNED EXPENSIVE LOTS OR RISK GETTING TOWED. THE PAPER SAID THAT VIRGINIA BEACH FINEST ISSUED 10,859 PARKING TICKETS FROM APRIL TO AUG OF THIS YEAR. THATS ABOUT 123 DAYS AND AVERAGES OUT TO 88 TICKETS PER DAY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. OH AND IF YOU GO TO THE BARS AND GET DRUNK AND THEN DECIDE TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND CALL A CAB TO DRIVE YOU HOME? EXPECT TO FIND YOUR CAR TOWED IN THE MORNING AS THEY ALSO HAVE CAR CURFEWS DOWN AT THE OCEAN FRONT TOO.
ENJOY,

JUST A LITTLE LOCAL INFO HERE. WE HAVE LOTS OF SCHOOLS IN THE VIRGINIA BEACH AREA THAT HAVE LOTS OF TRAILERS. SO INSTEAD OF ENLARGING SCHOOLS OR ADDING SPRINKLERS TO THE TOWN CENTER BLDGS, FIXING ROADS, OR MAYBE PAYING THE PARAMEDICS IN THE CITY. THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH IS GOING TO PAY $483,258 TO HAVE THE MAGNA CARTA DISPLAYED MARCH THRU JUNE. YES, I KNOW, I KNOW WE NEED TO GIVE MORE TOURISTS REASONS TO COME TO VIRGINIA BEACH AND SPEND THEIR MONEY.

WELL IF YOU EVER COME TO VIRGINIA BEACH AND VISIT OUR "TOWN CENTER" DON'T PARK ON THE 4TH FLOOR LEVEL OF THE PARKING GARAGE. AS THERE ARE NO SPRINKLERS AND EVEN WITH THE FIRE THE OTHER DAY THAT DESTROYED A FEW CARS THERE ARE NO PLANS IN THE FUTURE TO INSTALL SPRINKLERS.
I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PURSUE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE CITY?
THESE TOWN CITIES JUST MAKE ME LAUGH, YOU KNOW NORFOLK STARTED IT WITH THE MACARTHUR CENTER. THEN VIRGINIA BEACH HAD TO BUILD THEIRS. NOW NEWPORT NEWS IS BUILDING THEIRS AND PORTSMOUTH IS LOOKING INTO IT. AND I THINK I HEARD SOME RUMBLINGS FROM CHESAPEAKE. ALL IN THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. OH, AND DON'T FORGET THE TOURIST.
WE HERE IN VIRGINIA BEACH DEPEND ON THE TOURIST TO SUPPORT US. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX SHORE DRIVE OR TO PAY OUR PARAMEDICS OR AMBULENCE DRIVERS BUT WE CAN BUY STATUES OF NEPTUNE FOR A MILLION DOLLARS FOR OUR TOURIST. OH AND IF YOU VISIT OUR FAIR OCEAN FRONT PLEASE MOORE YOUR CAR BEFORE THE CURFEW OR IT WILL BE TOWED.
IF ANYONE NEEDS DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO VIRGINIA BEACH OR NORFOLK, YOU CAN EMAIL ME FOR INFO.
OR IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE IN THE LIBRARIES OR ADVICE ON HOW TO RESEARCH OR WHERE TO LOOK YOU CAN EMAIL ME ALSO.

SOMETIMES IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY OR FUSTRATE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.
I WANT TO GO AND SHAKE MY LIBRARIAN, I HAVE NO CLUE IF IT'S A MAN OR A WOMAN. I JUST WANT TO SHAKE HIM OR HER AND SAY WHAT THE ....... WERE YOU THINKING?
THEY ARE "REORGANIZING THE LIBRARY" AND IN THE PAST, ALL THE VIRGINIA COUNTIES HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN A "C" WHICH MEANS YOU COULD STAND IN ONE PLACE AND JUST ROTATE YOUR BODY AROUND IN A 360 CIRCLE TO SEE ALL THE COUNTIES.
NOW YOU HAVE TO WALK BACK AND FORTH ACROSS A HUGE ROOM. I WANT TO SCREAM, PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK! I LIKE IT THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE.
ONE OF THESE DAYS I NEED TO GO INTO NORFOLK, AT LEAST THEY HAVE NOT REARRANGED THEIR BOOKS IN ABOUT 10 YEARS.
OH, BY THE WAY DOES ANYONE NEED ANY NORFOLK HISTORY INFO? I'VE GOT A FEW BOOKS, I NEED TO POST A LIST OF THEM ON THE SITE, LATER. THEY ARE JUST SITTING THERE COLLECTING DUST.
OH WELL, KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THE POLICE IN ENGLAND GOT ALL THE BAD GUYS.

IT'S BEEN A FUSTRATING COUPLE OF DAYS.
FIRST I WANT TO KNOW IF THE BEACH IS 100 BLOCKS LONG AND YOU FIND CONTAMINATE HOW CAN IT ONLY BE ON 1/2 OF IT?
AND THE HALF NOT POPULATED BY TOURISTS?
GO FIGURE..........
MY OTHER FUSTRATION IS THAT I SPENT 3 DAYS LOOKING FOR WILLS IN PAC WHEN THEY TURNED OUT TO BE IN NORFOLK.
MY OWN FAULT I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NEW TO FAMILY TREEING PLEASE CHECK OUT MY HINTS PAGE.
IF YOU NEED HELP ASK.
