Lets play...the body game...

 Ready?   No peeking or doing online searches!




where is your natal cleft, bloggers? 

go ahead, guess...

a giggle from Isabella

Last night we were laying in my bed watching American Idol, and I noticed Isabella eating those gummy fruits things out of a packet of Welch's fruit snacks, and if that wasn't enough she had her bag of honey barbecue chips also at her grasp.  Weird combo. 

I noticed she finished that little bag of fruit snacks and she is trying to open another which she cannot get open, and I ask her...Isabella, how many packets of fruit snacks do you need to be eating before bed? one was enough I said, but she rebounds out with "well...that one was just a sample..."

Now, we both had to laugh at that one...cause if you think about it...those packets really are 'sample' sized!  and its also like chips...who can eat just one?! 

the Misadventures continue...

 

Dear Blogdom ~

It's been a while since Your Majesty has posted on the misadventures of Griselda Mess and Lord Spoiled.  Have things changed in the Kingdom?

Well, one would certainly like to think so, but unfortunately some things never change! Griselda Mess is still going to the methadone clinic (has it been two years? way too long), and this place is a money pit, designed to rob the addict's family cause as you know addicts or ex-addicts don't want to work...and why should they when they can manipulate those bleeding heart family members into paying their bills?! How long does one have to go to a methadone clinic, I guess this is an individual indiscretion, however what is wrong with getting the heck off that crap in order to take your life back and actually live it. Wouldn't you think having your children taken out of the home would be reason enough?

Since Lord Spoiled returned back to Griselda Mess after a 9-month 3 hots and a cot hiatus, a year ago this month, he has only kept a seasonal job, 2 months max, with Mother-In-Law picking up the rental tab for both of them on the house they live in, even supposedly when they were working; the house of which is in disarray.  Little Queenie went to visit, laid her I-Pod down and its been missing for nearly 3 weeks! They have no vehicle now, they tore up the in-laws truck and now they are 'borrowing' her car but with lies to substantiate them using it. The State is feeding them.  Yes, nothing ever changes with those two...except that..

Griselda petitioned the court back for their 6 year old and got him back by passing a couple of random drug screens, lying about having a job, and with Mother In Law telling the Social Services people that everything seemed to be going well, however they are on watchful SS probation for another few months to keep Lord Wyatt Earp! God knows how this latest escapade will affect custody.  MIL (Mother-in-law) is making them look good to the courts by paying everything for them so it looks on the surface as if they function, when in reality they still have a drug-mentality, and its been rumored more than once that they're back on the wagon, even letting a ex-addict move in among other suspicious behaviors.  They know how to fake/cover drug screens, what they can take that will work out of their system, etc..they are very skilled at playing the drug and ploy for money manipulation games.

Why does Yours Truly care? I care because I have their other child, Little Queenie, in my custody, and I don't want the courts to be fooled that these two people are model citizens, are working and providing a roof and food for their children when in reality they are not.  But I guess MIL feels she would rather pay to have them be independent than have them move in, right? as it seems they got evicted, and the landlord is pursuing legal action. Your Majesty is not surprised! This has been a repeat offense by them.  It appears that while MIL gave them money for rent, she did not really know if they actually PAID the rent, oh my word, common sense would tell you not to trust either of those two with cash! ... especially after Bonnie & Clyde nearly bankrupted MIL and hubby the last year or two (says the In-Laws). In-Laws still complain of all the money they have been connived out of by Griselda Mess and Lord Spoiled, yet seem to not realize that they NEED to set boundaries!

and Blogdom, what possesses someone who is plastered to get out of a car with intentions of buying pop out of a pop machine, and stagger quite literally into a cop, who promptly takes him to jail?  As luck would have it...Lord Spoiled, who was to appear in court today.   It appears he had a controlled substance in his pocket in a pharmacy container that was unmarked, go figure! What was it? a pain pill.  Lord Spoiled is a recreational user and abuses alcohol and anything he can get his hands on! MIL (Mother In Law) states he has a prescription, that he goes to an 'out of town' physician, isn't that convenient? no self-respecting doctor would prescribe to someone of his caliber...and she believes her little boy was jailed unnecessarily! I sit back and watch the drama unfold...the misadventures of Dumb (Lord Spoiled), Dumber (Mother-In-Law) & Drill Sargent and Queen of Lies (Griselda Mess)! I swear you people have never heard such stories...to include her 'real father' dying?! seriously...

Stay tuned ...!

Where is your loving compassion, Your Majesty,
for those cortically subilluminated family members?

Fairy Dear, instead of sticking in your 2 cents, trade that scepter in for a shovel & get back to digging that moat deeper around the castle! and quickly order up a few more alligators!

its just a matter of time...

before all of my crew lose their jobs to include myself!  it seems that they can pay 3 people offshore (most with no experience taken off the streets) way less than the cost of one US employee staffed as FQA (final quality assurance)...   

for a cheaper price, but at what sacrifice?  The sacrifice in the long run will be a quality product delivered to the clients.  Then what?  move accounts back to the US when we have no staff left? They already moved accounts offshore at the loss of MT jobs and a quality product if one cared to do audits to find out,  and now they are moving any US QA accounts to cut costs...damn.

It really hits hard in these times of high unemployment. Is there really no loyalty in commitment to a company?  What kind of company lets employees go right before Christmas holiday? ... before that another employee had been there 20 years and was whacked.  All they do is call them up, tell them their services are no longer needed. 

Two more staff employees are being axed Monday.  The one girl has been with us forever.  She will be devastated, and I'm not sure she won't pick up the phone and call me but I'm sure will be encouraged by HR not to contact any employee.

I had to move what employees I have around to cover midnight and Sunday through Thursday shifts.  We are running out of employees...its scary. 

Bottom line:  The rich get richer and the rest of us suffer, that's what it boils down to, and I hate this.  :(

cute little critters

I don't have feeders out for birds or squirrels, sometimes I miss doing that...but once you start you have to keep it up as they will become dependent on you, just like another kid to feed! Generally Bella and I go over to Central Park, one block away, which is a nice woodland home to lots of squirrels to become one with nature's little creatures, taking peanuts, and most of the squirrels will just about walk up and take it out of your hands. They seem to be timid, but I don't trust any little clawed wild animals, so I try not to get too close!

You Know You're A Redneck...

or a hoarder, if you house looks like this from the road.  good golly Miss Molly~! One can only imagine what the inside looks like. 

The Power of Subconscious Mind...

I have always been fascinated since the plunge of hypnosis myself just how powerful the subconscious is over the conscious mind.  Think about how many times you've been doing something, say driving for instance, and you get in your car, drive to your destination, but you really don't remember a thing about the drive per se other than you functioned to carry it out.  That is how most operate in their waking states, its just a do it type of thing, like rote memorization, but the subconscious mind is a little harder to tap into.  Suggestions made into one's subsciousness can be acted upon in a waking state with no recollection that you actually might have done such a thing!  For me, hypnosis changed my life from a smoker to non-smoker, nearly 10 years free of that habit, and I have to say I was a heavy smoker at the time. Your mind has the power to heal your body even if you're sick, I believe this wholeheartedly.  Here is something I am currently reading.


I was watching this guy, who is a mentalist, and he wanted to find out if people could be hypnotized or programmed to be a hired government spy 'assassin.' Here's a link to a real history website and you can view these videos, programmed to kill .   So as I was watching this show, this guy interviews for a recipient who could be hypnotized as some people cannot be, and he relaxed him into a deep sleep and put suggestions in, complete with triggers, and very clear on each step this guy needed to do.   His trigger would begin with the sound of a tapping bell like in a diner if an order is up, and his mission would then start, which was to drug someone's coffee (a person he had been programmed to believe was a hitman), and then to remove items from his silver briefcase to prevent a hit on the pictures of the person in that briefcase.   Of course everyone in the coffee shop were actors and actresses who let this guy follow through with his hypnotic suggestions.  In the real world, if someone had a pill and went to empty it in someone else's drink somebody would noticed and this would not have been accomplished.  However this guy did what he was programmed to do, walked out of the coffee shop, right back to where the guy was who hypnotized him and back onto the bed, and after waking thought he had a very strange dream, but in reality his dream was not a dream at all, but rather an act perpetrated by someone under the influence of hypnosis.  It was pretty eye awakening, and so I guess its true that people could become programmed assassins and have no recollection of every have done such a thing.  This guy was pretty freaked that he would do something like that, and so the hypnotist took out any memory of this incident from his subconscious mind, just erased it, and that in itself is powerful too!

This guy also put an ad in to give movie-goers a free peek at a movie coming out, but once the people entered the theater, he did a group hypnotic gesture and nearly ever participant fell asleep, except the few who witnessed the power of hypnotic suggestion.  As the hypnotist told each sleeper that upon awakening you will laugh, feel refreshed, think this was the funniest movie you've ever seen, and believe they sat through that movie.  It was surreal to see the expressions on their faces as they realized that they did not see a movie and the people who did not fall under the power of suggestion were there to witness.  I am going to continue to explore this, just because it fascinates me to no end! wow! maybe I can put Bella under hypnosis to take out all suggestions of defiance, get her to do chores without being told, and using good manners always!

Oops!

of course I'm not snooty or anything like that, but some people do have nerve! I'll have to say!
