That's interesting that you were studying the people in the waiting room, their reactions to what was on the tv etc. I betcha you'd be fascinated by reading about profiling people. I just started thinking about it myself.

I learned to do lightweight profiles of people when I was a working girl. You learned to watch out for the little things. One red flag was when someone's car was absolutely spotless and without even a spec of dust. Their clothes with creases like razor blades - very manicured nails.

I stayed away from neatniks like that. They had a tendency toward being unreasonable and even psychotic. Mean I guess.

I got to the point where I trusted myself implicitly and did not hesitate to turn someone down over any little thing. If they gave me a bad feeling, that was it.

When in doubt
Leave it out.

Not a dust mask Tony - one of these.

3M Tekk® Household Multi-Purpose Respirator

Gardeners use them when spraying fertilizers or insecticides, painters wear them - stuff like that. They're under forty dollars - in fact, I think Ace Hardware has them for around thirty four dollars. They have filters - one on each side. Those regular little dust masks aren't that good for what I'm talking about.

So, I am sitting in a waiting room at the hospital this AM while the Better Half is having a procedure done and they have the TV on and tuned to CNN. And this supposed News Person is going on and on about this convicted woman Jodi Arias and about how she is getting so much press. Meanwhile, the dumb news chic spends close to 40 minutes of the hour talking about it breaking in every once in awhile to report on the Tornado and about 30 secs on the IRS hearings.

I was reading a book and studying the other people in the waiting room. When the chic started talking about the Tornado or the IRS thing, people in the waiting room would look up at the screen, as soon as she started mentioning that Arias chic, they would look down at a magazine or a cell phone or IPad.

So the conclusion that I came away with is that CNN has no idea what average Americans are interested in so they fill the air with stuff that should be in the National Enquirer.

And that my friends is why our government can screw the American People because the news media is not doing its job...at least at CNN.

Where did you get those prices from for the Dust Masks???? You should be able to get them at a paint store for under $5.00.

Who turned the lights out? I'm the only one here all day?

strange.

be right back

Excuse my caps but I wanted to make sure this was seen. I'm looking to purchase a mask for when my room mate uses our dry steam cleaner. I'm worried that inhaling whatever is in the floors and walls since this building was first built could be extremely toxic and so I want to avoid this happening.

There are masks from fifteen dollars up to two hundred. I was thinking something somewhere around sixty dollars or so but if required, of course we will spend more.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

THEY PUT THESE BIKE STANDS UP IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT. THEY BLOCKED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF A BIG COOP AND AS A RESULT, THE EMS WORKERS TOOK AN HOUR TO GET AN ELDERLY HEART ATTACK VICTIM INTO THE AMBULANCE.

FUCK YOU MAYOR BLOOMBASTARD. YOU AND GUILIANI EAT SHIT.

for an apartment and you STILL can't have peace and quiet?

What kind of fucking idiots made the decision that it wasn't required for those elementary schools to have tornado shelters.

I blame the parents too. They should have demanded it. They should have gotten together and had a demonstration or whatever it took - but they should have insisted.

A shame. None of those children should have died. There were warnings and nobody didn't have time to get somewhere safe. But no - these school administrators decided it would be okay - just put them under their desks or in the bathroom or the closet or something.

I think the parents of the children who perished should sue the shit out of the county or whoever.

Oh you have not lived till you go pay someone big bucks for a haircut and permanent and you come out of the beauty shop looking like the Bride of Frankenstein with burns all over your scalp. I kid you not.
I wish I had a photograph of my hair at that time.

is that when they can hardly understand your instructions? . . .

You just got mixed up because the post was to Angelhaunt and then I went off and started talking about my dumb neighbor and a gas leak.

Anyway, I feel like two dead flies on a rotten watermelon.

BLECH

You know, it really is a great comfort to think there's something like heaven waiting for those of us who do our best to be good. Of course, what is "good" depends on a bunch of things I could not explain.

Then we have a tornado like in Oklahoma and all bets appear to be off.

I can't make heads or tails out of most of it.

it was Angel with the gas leak???? Must be getting old.

I told her I wanted four inches cut ALL over and what does she do but just cut that much off the back . . . hardly anywhere else got much cut off at all . . .

This is the same damn lady who was renting out her apartment a few years ago like a frigging hotel room. She nearly lost the place them and now? Well, from what I was just told - she might be up to her old tricks again. She's not there and has apparently left someone else there who was irresponsible and left the gas on.

Well - they won't be getting back into that apartment until they come and get the key from me which is when I am going to talk to them really firmly.

Dumb fuckers who don't know how to behave in an apartment building. I don't really understand why they could be that stupid. Surely they lived elsewhere and had a thing like a stove in it that had to be turned off and on.

Thank goodness it didn't take three days to turn it off this time like last time when the idiot right beneath me left his gas on for three days before anybody at that landlord's office would listen to me. I guess they're sloooooooowly learning that I'm not a liar nor do I even exaggerate.

Seems you got another chance, don't blow it and piss Annie off.

Gas not only makes people nauseous, it can blow you up. hope the got the thing turned off... nausea you can recover from, explosions, not so much.

If anybody is wondering what happened - I deleted all the banned ip numbers when I only meant to delete one.

Oh well. I guess we'll just wait and see what happens. Hopefully, it will be okay.

I certainly can't blame it on anybody else. I am a puter fucking lamer from hell. It's embarrassing. Well, not that much but...well...

I know people come first of course and I am very concerned for everybody who might be stuck somewhere under rubble and unable to get out to food or water etc. I am also worried about the countless animals who are in dire straits right now.
The worst thing is that school building collapsing. Like what the hell? In a place like that, don't they have storm cellars for the schools?

Those poor children and their parents. I can't even imagine what it might be like to lose a child to death. I can't even stand it when one of my pets die. They're a lot like children who never grow up and they get so close to you because if you love them and they love you - they're always right there like a little shadow following you around. They want to be close to you.

It's a hard situation with a lot of these Muslims. The most of them really do want a change from what they were going through in the old country - but when they get here, I guess fears and things make them start clinging to the old ways. I guess it's only natural not to want everything about your heritage to be erased or discounted. Most people who transplant here maintain at least some of their old ways. It's good to keep some of the different cultures alive.

Anyway - I've felt really horrid for the last two days. I'm not totally sure what's wrong but I suspect it's from one of my idiotic neighbors who went out and left her gas on. It finally got so strong everybody in the building noticed so now the landlord is sending a locksmith to open her door and turn it off. They're going to leave the key with me and I'm concerned because she's going to be pissed and blame me. I know her - she's very paranoid about stuff like this so I hope she doesn't get all crazy on me.

I'd much rather not even be involved if that was possible but I have my civic duty to do here after all. Nobody else is home during the day except myself and another person who works out of the apartment but that person isn't friends with this lady so I'm the one who is elected.

Fun.

Gas makes me nauseous. YUK.

Yeah, you'd definately be a taker here at my office. Needing your job to be protected, etc.

I spent some time around a bunch of union employees recently. Holy crap what a bunch of whiners, if their jobs weren't protected these folks would have been out on the street years ago.

This one fella works in a prison and all he could do is talk about his retirement (still a decade away) and how his healthcare costs went up (it's another $4.50 per paycheck they're taking out!) and how his future pension was recently cut in half due to budget cuts. His company quickly became tiresome.

It's strange how people who enjoy their work and do positive things for the community as well as their employers never think about stopping. I sure don't, I'll never stop doing what I love.

I left for two years Jed,you couldn't stay away for two weeks,hahahaha! I guess that being ignored in your private life makes evp look really good huh? And make sure that you keep your ass in line this time or you'll be run off again,lol.

Did I say anything about rounding anyone up??? You remind me of those idiots that classify a whole group of people by the actions of a few.

As a Catholic, I do not consider the Westboro Baptist Church as a Christian Church and in fact the Catholic Church does not recognize its Baptism as legitimate.

I also do not consider the Klan as a Christian group nor the IRA or their Protestant counterparts.

As someone who has three cousins who are Muslim, I sure as hell do not consider all Muslims Terrorists but, I sure as hell do not try to deny the fact that there are Islamo-Terrorists like you seem to be trying to do.

Actually God is mad at Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder for approving of that gay basketball players coming out. Notice how fast Durant ponied up $1M to help make up for his sin?

personally MANY Muslims in my time and they are all VERY much against terrorism . . . they don't hate Americans at all and love it here . . .

Grim, the Klan calls themselves a Christian group, as does the Westboro inbreds. Maybe we should round up Christians... The way the right wants to put round up Muslims and paint them all with one brush.

So, is God mad at Oklahoma or not?
Snow storms, tornadoes , droughts ...

Neither did you.

Just couldn't stay away huh?
