Star Wars fan?

While out searching, I always fall into something interesting, like this place.

Wookieepedia:  Welcome, newcomers

Wookieepedia wants you!

Wookieepedia is a Star Wars encyclopedia written collaboratively by its readers, who are known as Wookieepedians. The site is a Wiki, meaning that anyone, including you, can edit almost any article right now by clicking on the Edit link that appears at the top of the page.

I guess if you want to explore and/or write a saga within this site, all it takes is a sign up!  There are other Wikia communities on about any topic.  I might have to explore this a little more.  

the cooler weather...

makes me want to get out my recipes (or make it up as I go along) and make some soup or something comforting and homey! Well lets see what do I have in the kitchen here, I got some broccoli, boneless chicken, chicken bouillon cubes...uhmmm...I think there might be some noodles in there somewhere, maybe some mushrooms I could saute and throw in...that should do, shouldn't it? can't forget the onions, garlic, whatever...lets see what happens!





yum! lunch!

what Dreams are made of...

 Sometimes I ponder why I dream just nonsensical stuff, then at other times, its so vivid and real, and stuff that has a correlation to my waking hours.  There perhaps are plenty of people wondering the same thing, searching on Google for answers...LOL...


but I know, for me, dreams often have such a profound significance and stay with me, especially those reoccurring dreams that I will get every once in a while.  No matter how much you wished someone would wake you up, you keep on with the storyline, like something is sucking you in, and not only does it come that night, but the next night, and the night after.  Sometimes you can alleviate it by truly looking at your situation in your waking hours.  Perhaps you need to make a decision about something, change your direction.  Try to change the ending of a nightmare that recurs right before you fall asleep.

I've had a few dreams that I thought were nonsense, however come to find out they had not happened yet.  It was like watching a movie in rewind.  Oh, I already know how this turns out.  I've been known to surprise a few people by telling them stuff they think I didn't already know which sometimes could land me in hot water.  Other times I just get that, "How did you know?" Oh, just a lucky guess.  Right.

Speaking of luck, I haven't been lucky enough to hit the lottery, or dream the winning numbers, LOL, but I do seem to have pretty good luck.   There have been a few instances in which I narrowly escaped bodily injury due to a failing car operating system, or by using intuition to get out of a situation or place quickly, so I trust myself to feel, and act upon it if I feel the need to do so.  I think you have to 'tune in.'  I think we all have that ability to perceive bad vibrations, bad karma, size up people we don't necessarily know.

As far as your dreams, do you dream in color? Don't know? I find dreams interesting, do you?  I haven't had any recurring nightmares lately, but when I was in an unhappy marriage I did, interesting how when you change your life circumstances you dreams change too! Dreams really do reflect the state of the heart.

ahhhhh...September

What is significant about September to you?

Outside of the horrific event in New York on 9/11, September holds no special anniversarys, birthdays or deaths personal to me, but it does hold the memories of loves past.  August is always a hard month for me, a lot of deaths in my family in this month, and on the opposite spectrum a lot of joys.  For example, both my grown daughter and son were born in August.  Actually, my son was born on the day we buried my brother; he was only 15 at the time, killed as the result of an automobile accident.  Funny how out of 8 people involved in that wreck, he was the only one that perished.  I also lost my father and my best friend in the month of August.  I remember all of the events of those days like it was yesterday, just as the memories of 9/11 floods our minds; the events of that day changing an entire nation.

September is a reprieve from the madness for me that is August, and from this hot, humid summer weather, and I totally look forward to having the last week of this month off, from the 21st through October 1st.  I think I will schedule a short trip to the nearest nature park, and perhaps travel a few hours to see my son and his wife or my sister in Cincinnati.  I do have some business affairs I need to get in order, and just take the time to contemplate my life where it is at this juncture, without the everyday grind and give thanks for what I do have.  One has to prepare for the seasons of life ahead should we be allowed another day, another week, another year.

If I based my lifespan on those of my parents, I would say I have less than 10 years of my life to live.  At my age people die everyday from things they didn't know they had wrong with them, a finding of cancer, a heart attack, etc...and scarier would be the thought of a debilitating stroke as it does run in my family.  While I am not necessarily a health fanatic or in the best physical shape I could be in, I would rate my health as average for my age.  However, you can't prepare for a sudden death, debilitating event, or for news that your life is going to be over in a few short months, nor can you know how you would feel if facing it until you actually had to.  I am not one who fears death necessarily, but I am willing to put up a fight.  In the realm of everyday hell that life can bring, wouldn't death be a sort of reprieve?  Death looks as though it is the end, but is it? I think not. Oh and why did this post take such a right turn? Don't ask me, I merely blog off the top of my head here.  Feel free to take up the discussion where I left off...


Labor Day ...



I wished.

I worked all dag gone day.

I gotta put in for some vacation time, or I am going to lose it.

Lets see...

I can carry over a week into the new year.

A week a month that should do it.

yeah, and considering the way employees have come and gone this year, even some with 20 years experience, I should take every bit of my vacation otherwise this next year when my turn comes and I get whacked, I won't get a chance to take it...LOL...and will have kicked my own ass in hindsight...
