America !!! I have chill bumps and happy tears for the first time ever in the 29 years I've been voting. Break on though to the other side !!! An experience........Talking to friend here about prejudice and as America evolves eventually the melting pot will melt in to closer shades of color People will Think about as it's happening now in 100 or 200 years..... We as a people will be predominantly light brown of course. there will be still a range of shades.I used to be very prejudiced segregation was fresh when i was young and OMG the tension and fights in my small town home school.......then what I was taught by many adults as they were taught too. Today if ya aren't prejudiced against me then I'm not against you. This really may be a break though for our Country.Ii was at the liquor store yesterday buying some beer. I was leaving about to get in my car when a dark chocolate skinned man cheerfully said to peachy pale skinned me " Hi beautiful" he had a big sincere happy smile on. This wouldn't of happened last week i smiles back and said thank you with a genuine smile. Then he comes over to me and ask's who did you vote for. I said Obama he hugged me. I then said don't for get his Mother was white. That's true so true we are all one he states. I also say although it will I hope bring a great new beginning in racism here I belive he will be a good president and is strong calm and wise.

DOLPHIN RINGS...

Lekiss — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 04:06:33 GMT

This is cool The attached video is of dolphins playing with silver colored rings which they have the ability to make under water to play with. It isn't known how they learn this, or if it's an inbred ability.As if by magic the dolphin does a quick flip of its head and a silver ring appears in front of its pointed beak. The ring is a solid, donut shaped bubble about 2-ft across, yet it doesn't rise to the surface of the water! It stands upright in the water like a magic doorway to an unseen dimension. The dolphin then pulls a small silver donut from the larger one. Looking at the twisting ring for one last time a bite is taken from it, causing the small ring to collapse into a thousands of tiny bubbles which head upward towards the water's surface. After a few moments the dolphin creates another ring to play with. There also seems to be a separate mechanism for producing small rings, which a dolphin can accomplish by a quick flip of its head. An explanation of how dolphins make these silver rings is that they are 'air-core vortex rings'. Invisible, spinning vortices in the water are generated from the tip of a dolphin's dorsal fin when it is moving rapidly and turning.. When dolphins break the line, the ends are drawn together into a closed ring. The higher velocity fluid around the core of the vortex is at a lower pressure than the fluid circulating farther away. Air is injected into the rings via bubbles released from the dolphin's blowhole. The energy of the water vortex is enough to keep the bubbles from rising for a reasonably few seconds of play time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMCf7SNUb-Q

The Dance

Lekiss — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:04:26 GMT

words by Sydney Carter, music traditional I danced in the morning when the world was begun I danced in the Moon & the Stars & the Sun I came down from Heaven & I danced on Earth At Bethlehem I had my birth: Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! (...lead you all in the Dance, said He!) I danced for the scribe & the pharisee But they would not dance & they wouldn't follow me I danced for fishermen, for James & John They came with me & the Dance went on: I danced on the Sabbath & I cured the lame The holy people said it was a shame! They whipped & they stripped & they hung me high And they left me there on a cross to die! I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black It's hard to dance with the devil on your back They buried my body & they thought I'd gone But I am the Dance & I still go on! They cut me down and I leapt up high I am the Life that'll never, never die! I'll live in you if you'll live in Me - I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

Her First Quiet Moment out of the Womb and at 3 days

Lekiss — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 19:37:58 GMT

After about 10 minutes the necessary cry's of her first breathes of the air of our Mother Earth she stops and through the greasy medicine they use in the eyes her eyes blinking look trying to focus on seeing. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JhyEUM4Q-9I Three days later she opens them and is already checking things out mostly Mom's breasts. She's a very content baby.Lauren worries at the tiniest of cries. I tell her that is just the way she talks to you, you will come to understand what each different cry means. Well I'd better stay off this PC for a good while and take care of life. Love to All of You

Taylor is Born

Lekiss — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:30:18 GMT

SHE HAS THE WHOLE WORLD IN HER HANDS ! Taylor has finally arrived. She was born healthy and beautiful 8-26-08, 8 lb 1 oz. My daughter oh what a transformation.when she saw her for the first time. Of course we can't leave out Dad and both her Grand mother's, Gramama ( Me)and Mimi who were in the delivery room. We all burst into tears as soon as she was born. I worked Labor and Delivery and neonates as a nurse from 1984-1990 and loved it each healthy birth was so joyful and rewarding to be a part of. Words can't explain watching my own daughter give birth to my 1'st grandchild. Many women were giving birth at the birthing center she was in and each had a few people with them. Between numerous family members and friends I would guess, as I was on nine pins and needles on cloud nine but I would say 20-30.

Miscommunication

Lekiss — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 23:09:24 GMT

A co-worker got a pen stuck inside our printer.. He started to try and remove the pen, but I told him we don't have time for that now, just put a note on the printer telling folks not to use it and then report it to the Help Desk. So he grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled on it. I left before he finished the note. About 20 minutes later, one of my techs comes in laughing and says he was just in the lobby, saw a piece of paper on a printer and went to investigate. Attached is what he found. Sometimes things don't always come out the way you want them to...

AAADD- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS

Lekiss — Fri, 16 May 2008 17:30:50 GMT

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!! Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. (I've been looking for mine a month or so) I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, ( tie it to something I've found it eliminates this problem) but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isn't washed the bills aren't paid there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter the flowers don't have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and, I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

A Brilliant Reply to Sally Kern

Lekiss — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:21:37 GMT

Living in Oklahoma I had to post this as I know so well how the bombing here affected so many. This woman's FOS. Posted on: March 13, 2008 9:16 AM, by Ed Brayton Found this at Pam's House Blend. It's a letter from a high school senior whose mother died in the Oklahoma City bombing. He's not happy about Kern claiming that gays are worse than terrorists and he tells her so with great eloquence. Full text below the fold: Rep Kern: On April 19, 1995, in Oklahoma City a terrorist detonated a bomb that killed my mother and 167 others. 19 children died that day. Had I not had the chicken pox that day, the body count would've likely have included one more. Over 800 other Oklahomans were injured that day and many of those still suffer through their permanent wounds. That terrorist was neither a homosexual or was he involved in Islam. He was an extremist Christian forcing his views through a body count. He held his beliefs and made those who didn't live up to them pay with their lives. As you were not a resident of Oklahoma on that day, it could be explained why you so carelessly chose words saying that the homosexual agenda is worst than terrorism. I can most certainly tell you through my own experience that is not true. I am sure there are many people in your voting district that laid a loved one to death after the terrorist attack on Oklahoma City. I kind of doubt you'll find one of them that will agree with you. I was five years old when my mother died. I remember what a beautiful, wise, and remarkable woman she was. I miss her. Your harsh words and misguided beliefs brought me to tears, because you told me that my mother's killer was a better person than a group of people that are seeking safety and tolerance for themselves. As someone left motherless and victimized by terrorists, I say to you very clearly you are absolutely wrong. You represent a district in Oklahoma City and you very coldly express a lack of love, sympathy or understanding for what they've been through. Can I ask if you might have chosen wiser words were you a real Oklahoman that was here to share the suffering with Oklahoma City? Might your heart be a bit less cold had you been around to see the small bodies of children being pulled out of rubble and carried away by weeping firemen? I've spent 12 years in Oklahoma public schools and never once have I had anyone try to force a gay agenda on me. I have seen, however, many gay students beat up and there's never a day in school that has went by when I haven't heard the word **** slung at someone. I've been called gay slurs many times and they hurt and I am not even gay so I can just imagine how a real gay person feels. You were a school teacher and you have seen those things too. How could you care so little about the suffering of some of your students? Let me tell you the result of your words in my school. Every openly gay and suspected gay in the school were having to walk together Monday for protection. They looked scared. They've already experienced enough hate and now your words gave other students even more motivation to sneer at them and call them names. Afterall, you are a teacher and a lawmaker, many young people have taken your words to heart. That happens when you assume a role of responsibility in your community. I seriously think before this week ends that some kids here will be going home bruised and bloody because of what you said. I wish you could've met my mom. Maybe she could've guided you in how a real Christian should be acting and speaking. I have not had a mother for nearly 13 years now and wonder if there were fewer people like you around, people with more love and tolerance in their hearts instead of strife, if my mom would be here to watch me graduate from high school this spring. Now she won't be there. So I'll be packing my things and leaving Oklahoma to go to college elsewhere and one day be a writer and I have no intentions to ever return here. I have no doubt that people like you will incite crazy people to build more bombs and kill more people again. I don't want to be here for that. I just can't go through that again. You may just see me as a kid, but let me try to teach you something. The old saying is sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Well, your words hurt me. Your words disrespected the memory of my mom. Your words can cause others to pick up sticks and stones and hurt others. Sincerely Tucker

Eating a big CHUNK of HUMBLE Pie

Lekiss — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:33:22 GMT

The brat was coming home Sunday Night or rather wee hours of the AM. WELL seems the 19 year old girl Ashley was deemed sober enough to drive them all. My son was drunk as shit with 3 kids over 18 and he being 21. The girl got a DWI the 2 other kids got a reeming from the police and got to go home. I got a phone call, he treid to call other folks first so I wouldn't know but alas who's home on Sunday at 6 am MAMA !!! SOOOOOOO they say he's going to be arrested for public drunk. I just about said do it ***sigh*** !!! So off I go to get him a few blocks away. There he sits on the curb with some shame whipped into him and a bad hangover. Turns out it wasn't just public drunk they were letting him off of but also contributing to the delinquency of minors and an over due tag. He got a ticket for the open container of some sort of booze bottle that had been under his seat for weeks. Claimed he didn't know about open containers. I'm pretty sure they teach that in driver ED. Oh yeah the drug dog hit on his car too seems he's been a letting others smoke pot in the car at least that's what he said. SOOOOOOO I drag his pitiful ass home call the X Factor Cats in the Cradle Dad and at leasts he came. Gave me a ride to pick up my car then wouldn't come in and have a face to face with the BOY. I had to INSIST. The brat didn't eve say thank you. That was a week ago he hasn't had a drink since and seems to be satying home on spring break. New boudies are being set in stone. He's quit hanging as much with some bad influence drunk buddies and one of his good friends is moving back from Florida. Ahhh shit I said ok to letting him stay the summer for rent of course. Actually I think it will be good for Michael as this friend doesn't run with the wild boys.

For Adoption 21 Yr. old Male Human

Lekiss — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:55:44 GMT

Top Reasons My Son Will Be Moving He’s 21 almost 22 years old. He spent the first 2 years away at college. (I got used to it) He is the slob of all slobs in the world. Things are fermenting and growing in his room. He expects me to be his maid. ( A part time job and school rational ) He refuses to help with any outdoor work. He says ok then ignores me when I ask him small favors. ( i.e. pick up your shit) He goes out to party almost every night. He is driving drunk a lot despite adamant denial off doing so. He and his friends are cocky smart ass’s. One of his friends over who drunk pissed 3 times in my house BANNED. Another friend tore my door knocker off hanging on it drunk. His friends are essentially disrespectful cocky slobs too. He thinks $ 200 a month rent is too much to pay HA HA HA. He’s beginning to talk to me like my X HUSBAND. He says there’s no food if he has to cook it. He’s a big spender on a beggars budget. He’s thinking with his with his dick and not his head. ( Like his Dad) He does not notice when I end up picking up all of his shit about the house. I’m not allowed to speak to his friends. He locks his bedroom door so I won’t see the mess. ( I pop the lock so WTF) He needs a kick ass dose of life on your own in the real world. He kept “threatening “( I wish )to move January 1st and didn’t. He only humbled up for 2 weeks when he could not move. Supposed moving day is nearing so the acting the ass is escalating. He doesn’t understand ya haven’t moves till you’ve moved. He calls me many derogatory names only partially in jest. He generally pisses me off at least once a day unless he stays at friends. He obnoxiously farts a lot and they really stink bad. He plugs all of his electronic shit in an octopus like ball. His room would really stick expect for 10 designer colognes and febreze. He has a sweat issue and has 20 or so deodorants all over. He’s hairy (except his balding head) and shaves it all off in a white bathroom. He gets irked when I cook for my boyfriend yaaa well there’s perks there. He tells me I have a man now he can do IT ! OK then YOU can move ! He took my gas can to my X Dad in Laws and I had t get it. He drove my car with 10lbs of pressure in one tire 130 miles warped another. He didn’t check the tire pressure like I’d asked him to do before this. He comes whining to me like a baby when he’s sick with no insurance. The cost party life is more important than medical insurance. He lies to me and thinks I’m too stupid to know he’s lying.(Never lied as a Kid) Ok that’s enough what a catharsis. There are some good qualities of course, occasionally he loans me a movie. Occasionally the 6’7” lazy ass will change high light bulbs for me, which he thinks I will really miss him. Hell I’ll wait till he comes home for a visit. It is looking like he’ll make it through college. That is if he doesn’t get a DUI or killed in a wreck. He doesn’t smoke cigarettes or do drugs just drinks like a sieve. He’s really nice when he does a big my bad.

Love Life Family & Art

Lekiss — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:39:01 GMT

It's amazing how fast friends here all but those special few drift into the past when one gets up from there machine and dives into life with gusto. At least as much gusto as I can manage. The changes in lives like waves ever amazing have been essentially good to me despite poverty nipping at my heels and chronic pain which keeps me lying about much of the time creation with my new passion in artist media. Then there’s love to have true love again simple yet complicated but so sweet. After 25 years with another man and finalizing my divorce Dec. 13 , moving back into my home of 17 years (the X paying the mortgage off). I had nearly forgotten what it was to be admired for who I am and do. Being a disabled domestic goddess artist is cool. The house is just a house to the yard and me in the second year of garden deconstruction due to my inability to care for all of it alone and need to mow the big ass thing with more ease. That's ok it still holds the remnants of the beauty it was and is ever evolving. Then there my daughter Lauren happily married and expecting her first baby in August. Grandchild number one : ) What to say about my son Michael College student Jr. working on a degree in Mathematics & Teaching and a second degree in being a party animal sorta irresponsible and often just rude. He's moving soon and I'm looking forward to life without his pigsty messes and occasional drunk stupid friends. Hooters girls, Tattoos, Piercings, Drinking, Being the Cock of the Walk and not helping worth shit around here requires ripping away from the ever watching eyes and reprimanding mouth of Mama. Asta la Vista boy man, stand on your own it's time come and visit . What empty nest syndrome not for me oh no. Spring is nearing and working that yard of mine seems overwhelming. It consumes all of my time when today I have new paths to follow exploring a variable amazing artistic culture again like a child in a candy store. Plans of trips on a Cruise, perhaps the Netherlands and next fall NY, Festivals, Garden & Home shows, Fine Cuisine, Theater........ and just snuggling at Home. Life is blooming though I'm looking at a wheelchair for the distance walking as it leaves me often eshausted and in much pain life is good. My smile is back well except for the yard work. People I've kwon for all of my life do double takes and tell me you look better than you ever have. that’s pretty cool at 46 and after all I've been through physically........Could it be the smile on my face and the twinkle in my eye ? Slainte !!!
