Good night all for now,

When one is not quite SICK enough to spend the entire day in bed (half a day for me) but not well enough to do anything that requires more than 1/4 brain and muscle power, and boredom is also something else that too taxing, I sometimes go here just for the heck of it. Snopes is a neat place to find neat things, settle disputes and send the mind off into to, 'What If' (extential for Science Fiction / Fantasy writers.

The Lost Legends section has some Stupid Laws, and a couple of facts that don't shake the world, but do provide a "Wow, I had NO idea" moment... Here is three of them. All said to be True.

"Mr. Ed" was not a horse but a Zebra. They got away with it by making the sets smaller to make the Zebra look larger, forced perpective and most facinating of all, a Zebra does not show stripes when shown on Black and White T.V., only when in color!

Mississippi removed fractions and decimal points from the Secondary School Educational System. We wonder why McDonalds and other places have to use pictures for their training folks to use on the registar? Don't ask them to figure the tax either. Oh and one forth of a pie for desert might make brains freeze there. Think I am exagerating? Nope, true and more horrors are mentioned there too. Look this country has gotten dumber and we have to import people from other countries to run our computers. Hello, maybe there something wrong with our base of knowleage?

The California Flag with the extint Grizzly Bear (no thanks to all those white hunters drunk on Wiskey who shot them all dead for their fur, grrrr). Maybe if we had the flag we were supposed to have, the bear would still be around, but we just might be even more of a laughing stock than we already are. We can take it, our flag was supposed to have a... Pear! Not a Bear. Funny, huh?

But the best of all, is this one.  To prove I still have a life,  you have to go figure it out yourself... (cuz I have things to do other than just do blogs, smile).

Latest population figures for California is: 35,893,799 and growing
California's budget deficit $11.2 billion and growing
Costing each Californian, man, woman, child = $312.03 per fiscal year (july to june) and growing. Yes Three hundred and twelve dollars and three cents...

So to cover all of this, there is going to be more taxes, fees, and so forth to find some way of squeezing out from our wallets $350.00 per person. I say $350.00 because by the time the money is raised, the deficit is going to be worst and we do have to put away for a rainy day.

So what can we do? Most of us, seeing such a huge number would probally back off, dive in the latest sports page, editorials, U-Tube, Facebook, or where ever you spend your mental time and, well, just forget about it. Like, you are just ONE person with all of your own problems, and you don't have that kind of funding, right?

Well, get your head out of your digital sand, it not going to help. There is actually a way ALL of us can help and no you don't have to get another job to make it work either. You don't need to go out and maxed the credit cards for Christmas or Winter Holidays (which actually btw, make the problem worst). No... Here it is...

Share and share alike. I am not talking about Socilism here so get off that soap box! This goes back to W.W.II when there was rationing going on, and share with your neighbors what could can and they share the same. Then there is this one other secret... Savings. That right, do more with less and save the rest.

So why not this fiscal year, set a goal to save 350.00 for each person in your household? Got too many, then go for $350.00 this year and build up. Believe it or not, this helps the state a lot. To break that down, that is roughly $45.00 put aside each month for seven months will build up to that. Think it is too much? Look at your buget, Christmas is a big one. During W.W.II things brand new were rare. Home crafted was huge. If we could all do this for seven years, think of the surplus we each have personally. $2,450.00 plus what ever interest is earned. Put it in an ing account, or pay pal or something else where you can keep from touching it. Also, snip up those credit cards, keep one for use in emergency and credit building (aka, buy but pay next day kind of thing). We do not have to go as far as W.W.II did in rationing everything, but doing some of that would go a long way to setting this state (and others) in the right.

Thanks for this journey,

"Christian" rights using children and fear to support their point of view
"Loving Liberals" use slander and public shame for theirs.

Hey, this is NOT going to work. Intimidating people is not how you win the hearts and minds of the people around you. In fact, it just makes them all the more resentful. This preaching is to BOTH SIDES. Grow up!

A friend asked me if I thought a small minority should have enough power to over come the vote of a majority. I had to think about that for a while and I concluded, yes. ADA would not be here, if a small majority of which I am a member of, did not repeatedly chant, protest, write letters, storm law makers offices, and spent decades working the trenches to assure that those with a disability can earn a living too. So in that regard and to people who are in danger, harassed, and disfranchised because of something that 'marks' them. Then yes.

So, Gay should be allowed to use the word Marriage?

I don't know. If I was to have a lesbian partner, I am flamboyant enough to figure, we come up with our own label. The deaf came up with Big D Deaf to distinguish from the medical term deaf, hearing impaired, audio deficient, and other labels. Gay people do have all the CIVIL rights of a Union like marriage in the State of California. Rather than throw so much money into trying to get something that Straight folks (in the majority) do not want. Why not have a PR for a new phrase?

Ah, but then that would make them STAND OUT. So maybe this is a way that GLBT can stay in the closet on some level? Chris and Chris Somebody, could be anybody in the marriage licence department.

I do not see however, GLBT being second class citizen because the word MARRIAGE is not granted to them. A WORD folks, not a set of laws, a WORD.

Socially, people would be more effective if they said they are married, and keep using that word until gradually it gets more and more accepted. It is a slow way, but effective. The current mudslinging, its all out angst, emotional violence, is not solution. No one is going to let the other side win, because they now have been wronged. All its gonna do is point fingers at nothing but anger.

So, lets GROW up and find an adult, polite, civil way to handle things. Sheesh, this is worst than a preschool sand box fight and a lot more dangerous. All of you who took part in in this hate should be ashamed of yourselves on both sides of the line...

All well that ends well, except, it had not ended, yet. Got a call from some group that says they are mediators for the community. Never heard of them. Gonna find out about them from others if we can before we do anything. What to mediate, apparently, the other people are not ready to give up on Sammy (Peaches to them) and want that cat back.



Ah come on!... He bonded with us, he sleeps with us, and he loves us as his ownnnn (to the tune of He Walks with me...) sigh...

SIGH....

Any comments. I am supposed to be this really nice Christ Following Lady and I guess they figured if they push me enough, I will give in. They don't even have any vet papers on them. How can I make them go away and leave Sammy and Me alone?


Maybe I am acting like a child but, he is MY cat.... I don't want to give him away.
