I told her upfront that I couldn't help her; that our office was not the right one and they needed to call somebody else. "Your daughter needs to call..." She and I went round and round for a good 10 minutes. Finally....<br /><br />Mom: "So what you are saying is that you aren't the right person and you can't help me."<br />Me: "Yes, ma'am... but I will be happy to listen if you feel the need to continue to talk."<br /><br />She didn't get it.Pink Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17694128886164573498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048290.post-54674337085143926522008-01-29T12:26:00.001-06:002008-01-29T12:27:01.324-06:00Captiony Goodness<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ0MvkohklCaPfTMF_H3Na2V5VP_7Y5jL0NQ2zZt8XuSK23Bsu6jGzAFFQ72kcWPxaiThNHA4m5jupzsp1UTnVL_WQY7Gl20-SEajeXCa4IxeSVTa8lw-nSxfdrhomjOQC4Cyw/s1600-h/W-wink.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ0MvkohklCaPfTMF_H3Na2V5VP_7Y5jL0NQ2zZt8XuSK23Bsu6jGzAFFQ72kcWPxaiThNHA4m5jupzsp1UTnVL_WQY7Gl20-SEajeXCa4IxeSVTa8lw-nSxfdrhomjOQC4Cyw/s400/W-wink.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160966747394672578" border="0" /></a><br />We've been Bush-winked!Pink Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17694128886164573498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048290.post-35056697327127345532008-01-10T17:06:00.000-06:002008-01-29T12:28:02.954-06:00Charging toward the windmillsVox Day <a href="http://voxday.blogspot.com/2008/01/despair-not.html">encourages</a> those of us who still believe in liberty and freedom.<br /><br />I don't care what you say anymore. I will NEVER vote against someone again. It isn't a vote for Hillary. A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Ron Paul - not Hillary or Obama or Huckabee. Do the math.<br /><br />The funniest thing was a day after Iowa, I got a call from the RNC asking me to renew my membership to stop Clinton. What I wanted to say to the little old woman was "Well, I think Iowa stopped her pretty good. What do they need you for?" (this was before NH primary). When she asked me who I was going to vote for in the TN primary, I told her "Ron Paul" and she just kinda went.. uh.... *long pause*.<br /><br />I was stupid to vote for W in 2004. I was naive in 2000. Never again.

I've seen most, if not all of them multiple times, of the I love the 70's (not so much), 80's (1, Strikes Back, and 3) and 90's (1 and Part Deux) and the greatest hit countdowns - one hit wonders, rock songs, ballads, songs to walk your dog to....<br /><br />But this list. This list bothers me. It's like "holy crap. I am getting old." I know 32 isn't old but now... the things that shaped my life and were SO IMPORTANT to a 15 - 19 year old girl are just trivia. Some realizations...<br /><br />- Titanic came out 10 years ago. Damn. You know, I don't remember if I saw it in the theater. I think I did. I remember being on my first trip to Denver and with a group of people and trying to go see it but it was sold out every show they were willing to sell tickets for.<br />- James Hetfield of Metallica now has grey hair.<br />- Vanilla Ice is still teh ghey. And I still know most of the words to Ice Ice Baby. That's just sad. And still mumble alot of MMMBop.<br />- Speaking of, the Hanson kids are married?! With kids?! And MMMBop was 10 years ago. Crap.<br />- TLC's "Waterfalls" was the song I remember hearing after I was told a guy who I grew up with shot and killed himself. He was the bully across the street. I couldn't really feel bad. I tried but I didn't. I did milk that little tidbit of information for some sympathy.<br />- I have vivid memories of going into the Student Center at Belmont and watching "Nuthin' but a G thang" and "California Love." I love the latter. It is one of my favorite songs. That whole Mad Max themed video is great.<br />- Alot of the follow-ups with the artists... they are now older and fat. And in the case of Britney Spears - crazy, too.<br />- Nine Inch Nails should have been on that list. It made <a href="http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1576117&vid=10034">the 50 that didn't make the top 100</a> along with Gin and Juice, Nookie, and Been Caught Stealing. I first heard "Closer" as the opening song in Seven. I went to see that movie with French (one of my philosophy professors. I saw her recently on the History Channel talking about ancient Grecian warfare. Coolest woman ever. She should have been a Greek goddess. She looked like one... and should have been on Broadway instead of talking about Charles Pierce), Jeb, and someone else. I don't remember. I do remember they were mad at me for choosing Seven since it scared everyone so badly. And thus began my love affair with scary, tripped out horror flicks.<br />- I don't get REM, Pearl Jam or Nirvana....<br />- 90's fashion was really really bad. From Hammer Pants to Grunge in the space of 3 years... (1990-1993). Yuck.<br />- U2's "One" makes me want to do that worship CCM pose... drop to my knees and throw my arms out to the side and belt it out at the top of my lungs.Pink Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17694128886164573498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048290.post-44888802725653460402007-12-23T00:33:00.000-06:002007-12-23T00:34:24.696-06:00Eric Volz - finally freed<p>“Eric Volz was released from a Nicaraguan prison hospital earlier today (12/21) and will be in hiding, due to reports of threats against him.<br /> We have reason to believe he is being followed and are taking every precaution to assure his safety.</p> <p>Our family is overwhelmed by the incredible outpouring of support of Eric’s innocence over the past year.

She is asking that Eric be held in custody (illegally) until the Supreme Court rules. Typically, Supreme Court cases take years to process.<br /><br />Nicaraguan law says that the order of the Appellate Court to free Eric should not be overridden by the filing of a Supreme Court appeal, but that Nicaraguan law is being ignored.<br /><br />If Eric is held, he will certainly be moved back to the penitentiary, and may not be afforded even the minimal protection he had previously - he will be in the gravest of danger. Eric has kidney stones, and is still recovering from intestinal issues and severe asthma, which is why he has been in the prison hospital for more than 2 months now.<br /><br />This morning, Penitentiary Director Molina dispatched a truck to take Eric back to the prison. This forced his visit with his mother Maggie to be cut short, due to security concerns.<br /><br />- via Eric Volz google groupPink Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17694128886164573498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048290.post-28083521985880766752007-12-17T15:31:00.000-06:002007-12-17T19:35:03.214-06:00Eric Volz soon to be free!!!!<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-12-17-nicaragua-sentence-overturned_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip">Nicaraguan court overturns U.S. man's sentence - USATODAY.com</a><br /><br />Merry Christmas to Maggie and Dane Anthony!

Just your papers.<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2007-11-29-secure-flights_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip">Money Quote</a>:<br /><br />Under a TSA proposal published in August, airlines and travel agents would be required to ask people reserving flights for their birth date, gender and full name. Travelers, however, would not be required to give the new information.<br /><br />People who don't comply could be more easily mistaken for a terrorist and "may be more likely to experience delays, be subjected to additional screening (or) be denied transport," the TSA wrote.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Translation</span>:<br />If you don't tell us what we want to know, we will detain you... because we can. You must comply. Resistance is futile.<br /><br />I hate the government. It's all about power, control, and submission. I think I'm in the mood to watch Serenity and V for Vendetta tonight. Too bad showcase practice is in the way. Dangit.<br /><br />To further irritate me, I just received an email about mandatory recycling training - to be sure I put the right crap in the right bin lest BigUniversity get fined for plastic straws in the plastics bin...

Huh? Granted, I am just as bad as the other people in the elevator but why don't we stand up to these idiots?<br /><br />There were 3 other people in the elevator. One was a little old woman, a man probably just a little older than me, and myself. I was the only one to say anything to them and that was after I got out of the elevator. Why wasn't that man saying anything?!<br /><br />Yeah - they were drunk and would have no sense of social shame but we need to smack these people down for the common good. I'm sure they are no better when they are sober. There is a reason to have confrontation.Pink Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17694128886164573498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048290.post-44678795263270961732007-11-15T16:29:00.001-06:002007-11-15T16:38:24.158-06:00Drunk Football fans SUCK!Dear Ohio State Buckeyes,<br /><br />I hope you lose this weekend to Michigan because your fans are bigger douches than UT fans (no offense to Big Orange Michael but seriously, there are some giant douches if you go to Knoxville for the game). Then again, I'm sure every team has their share of douches.<br /><br />How did this sudden hatred for Ohio State come about? I am here in Columbus for the Ohio Star Ball. So far, it has been absolutely lovely. I get on the elevator to go to my room with a pair of already drunk a$$hats who curse, yell loudly into their bluetooth headsets, and hit on this woman standing waiting for an elevator on the 9th floor. She nearly ran into another car. I swear, if my back had been to them instead of to the wall, they would have groped me. One kept touching my elbow.<br /><br />When I got off the elevator, he yelled something about me being sexy (intended as an insult). I called him a name or two and went onto my room. I know, it isn't the Christian thing for me to respond in that way, but since I wasn't allowed to bring firearms with me on this trip, I have to defend myself some how.<br /><br />Because they are the reason why "he needed killin' " is a perfectly acceptable defense for murder.<br /><br />Douches.<br /><br />Again, I hope you lose big to Michigan. And douches, you got NO game. I don't know what woman who wasn't crazy or drunk would even want to give you the time of day let alone uh.. flirt with you. I hope you leave frustrated sexually and with your team. You deserve it.<br /><br />Go Michigan,<br />Pink KittyPink Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17694128886164573498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048290.post-84611194979348635342007-10-26T11:20:00.000-05:002007-10-26T11:20:00.830-05:00What would you grab?1) Smith and Wesson (the kittehs, not my revolvers)<br />2) My MacBook Pro, its external drive (my iPod and iPhone are always in my purse)<br />3) Purse<br />4) The Still in the Box Darth Vader<br />5) The "Seize the Day" birthday card from my dad<br />6) The Sig Sauer, the other Smith and Wessons and ammunition<br /><br />If time permits:<br />My baby photo album, the SHAG print of the Tea Cup Ride at Disney Land, Melodia Pants, and Ballroom Dance dresses (my shoes are already in the car in the car)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1675600,00.html?cnn=yes">What to Save From a Fire - TIME</a>Pink Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17694128886164573498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048290.post-20141569552821570532007-10-15T08:44:00.000-05:002007-10-15T08:44:12.357-05:00How soon the internets forget...the meaning of being <a href="http://finance.myway.com/jsp/nw/nwdt_rt_top.jsp?news_id=ap-d8s8r8t00&.html">kirked?</a><br /><br />Amway/Quixtar... good luck with that.<br /><br />On a somewhat related note, Mark told me that there are some scuzzy lawyers who are now putting copyright notices on their cease and desist letters to keep people from scanning them and putting on their blogs for the whole world to see that they are scuzzy lawyers.<br /><br />Ugh.
