Cause I am just crusin for a brusin I thought I’d put up another poll.  There’s a controversy brewing, or their was, cause she MAY have been cremated already, about whether Terri should be buried in Florida or cremated and interred in Pennsylvania.  Her parents wanted a Catholic funeral followed by a burial in the cemetary near their home.  Michael says that Terri once told him that she wouldn’t have wanted to be in the ground with the bugs.  I don’t want to get into their whole debate, cause that helps no one.  Talking about what you would want, might. :) Anyway....What do you want done with your body after you die?  That’s my poll.  Please do share your thoughts in the comments.

Me, I don’t care really. It’s whatever is best for the people who love me.  I’m simple like that.

Rest in Peace Terri.  You can finally rest in Peace.

To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they know quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know? - Socrates

I left a post it note on someones car today.  It was a little yellow one - on which was printed FYI...It’s not my fault.” To that I added “You’re a jackass! Three spots?! Really!” See.  This dude parked his car diagonal across three spots in the lot at a restaurant.  Three fucking spots. There are only about 10 spots in the whole lot and he took up three of them.  I showed my friend at the counter and she thought it was funny as hell.  ( I wrote the note in my car before I even got out, I wanted to make sure I could make a quick getaway.  I may be snarky, but I’m not stoopid.) I quickly stuck the little tag on the backseat window and ran away.  I hope he was pissed :) I was. 

Should jurors be able to use the Bible during deliberations?

I was watching CNN this morning, like I do, and there was a segment called “The Cafferty File.” This guy was reporting on a story coming out of Colorado.

Ruling that juries cannot turn to the Bible for advice during deliberations, a divided Colorado Supreme Court threw out the death penalty for a convicted murderer because jurors discussed Bible verses. 
...
Harlan was sentenced to death in 1995, but defense lawyers learned that five jurors had looked up such Bible verses as “eye for eye, tooth for tooth,” copied them and discussed them while deliberating behind closed doors.
...
“They went to the Bible to find out God’s position on capital punishment.” {full article}

I can’t take credit for the poll idea, they had one at CNN too, but seeing how my last one went over so well, I though I’d do this one too.

I am anti Death Penalty, just to be clear.  I am all for freedom of religion, but actually using the Bible to determine something in a court of Law? Are you fucking kidding me? Not even.  If you wish to pray, or read the Bible on your own time, go right ahead. More power too you. But when you are being paid, by the state, to be fair and objective, you do NOT get to use something as hypocritical as the Bible. Please do share your feelings too.

I don’t understand why it’s so funny to “invade” a small Iowa town and pretend to film a movie. I just don’t get how it’s funny. Or even what the freakin point it.  Shatner’s admited feeling guilty - but I’d rather know what the point was.

I’ve gone in and deleted a bunch of members.  If they’d never signed in, or hadn’t signed in over 6 months I deleted them. Just a heads up.  Not that it will matter, cause if you haven’t logged-in in over 6 months I doubt you’re still reading.

My free iPod has been shipped! I am SOO excited. I nearly knocked my own chair over doing a happy dance!  Oh Oh Oh! I so can’t wait to get my little pink music player! :)

Let’s play a game.  You make up a word and leave it in my comments. I’ll then go to your blog and leave a comment using that word.

Just for fun.  I’m not tracking anything with this, and it’s open to everyone, so just vote ok Feel free to leave any comments you wish, talk is good people. Talk is good

As of right now, 13 of you have said “never have never will”. What I wonder is WHY.

Happy Zombie Day!* I am not Christian, and wasn’t raised Christian so I don’t celebrate the Religious nature of today.  I do get together with friends and/or family and hang out together.  Right now I’m at my friends Phil & Tess’ place eating duck, and eggplant, and salad, and soup and homemade bread. (I actually wrote this post earlier, and just future dated it.) Another one of our friends, Robert, called to make sure we had someplace to go today. That was very sweet of him! :) My hubby and I don’t have any family here in Tampa - all the rest live in Kansas City. I called my parents house today and got to talk to both brothers, so that was nice.  Both are doing well. The baby will be 20 on Thursday.  TWENTY!  That just amazes me. I remember when we brought him home from the hospital.  So small.  He was all pink and orange (since he’s a red-orange-head.) Thursday is also hubby’s brothers birthday. His brother will be 24, which is the age my other brother turned in January.  Yah. It’s crazy. I know :) It’s all about the family, right? :) Turns out my Grandmothers 85th birthday is in Sept and my family is doing the whole “surprise party” route for her. In fact - my aunt and uncle who live in France will be coming in for it too.  It’s a good thing It’s 6 months away.  Plenty of time to get the money together for the 2 plane tickets.  My family did this for my grandfathers 80th in April of 2002. It was in New Orleans rather than Kansas City though, since he lives in Baton Rouge. I do think he knew about the party though - so I am not sure if this one for my Mamarie is a surprise.  It should be fun - birthday parties with my family always are! :)

*Zombie Day - The only day in which someone can rise from the dead and not terrify everyone it comes into contact with.

So we got this note on our door Friday. An “Urgent Pet Owners Notice.” Apparently we pay “pet rent” at the rate of an additional 10 bucks a month. That’s new. We just signed our lease a couple weeks ago and they didn’t mention it then.  I wonder if when we get our new kitty if the fee will be 20 bucks a month.  Who knows. The note also says that they’re going to be checking pets on premises and inside the apartments. I wonder if that means they’re gonna just start coming into all apartments to check if they’ve got pets.  Apparently the “pet situation is getting out of hand.”

Pets are doing their business all over the property and the smell is becoming stagnating. We are getting complaints from parents that their children cannot play outside in the courtyards due to pet land minds everywhere and it is a health concern.

I have a cat. My cat doesn’t do her business anywhere except her litter box. It’s really sort of irritating that they are lumping my sweet indoor girl with the poopers outside.  I’ve noticed the poop out there too, but I just walk around it. I guess if I had a kid out there I might be irritated.  We’ve got a lady who keeps her dog outside her apt, in the back, on a chain like it’s a back yard.  It’s irritating but I’ve not complained. People need to pick up their DOG’S poop. Those are the only animals that I see out there too. So it’s frustrating to have to be on edge about people coming into my apt to check that my pet is valid (which she is, we’ve got her big ass red ass tag on too.) My luck, they’ll come check RIGHT after we bring the baby home and we’ll have to fork over another 150 bucks for nothing.  Shittay.
