yet another opossom and more on the mean new neighbors!
I think it should be more like a day in the life of a opossom. It's really weird. Okay so including the one the neibor caught that time. This brings our total count up to 13. We have ourselves caught 12. Its really weird though. Normally when I have the cage set and leave the cat food outside I catch nothing. Well the night before last I had the cage set up with grapes and some catfood. Nothing. Then last night I forgot to take up the cat food. the pan was almost full of food. The cage was still set. I later remembered I forgot to take it up but I said oh, well I'll try to do better next time. So, I thought why bother going out there to check. With a whole pan of catfood why would it want the grapes in the cage? Well I was reading a new book I got. A manga called Galaxy Angels. I've seen a few episodes but I wanted to try the book. Well I was reading and I heard an odd noise outside. I'm thinking, great I must have caught a cat or something. Well to my great surpise there was a opossom! I'm think this is one weird opossom. He prefers grapes over catfood wierd. There was a pan between the cage and cusions set out for the cats to sleep on. For some reason it chose the grapes over the catfood. Then when we went to release it, well we'd rather not let anyone know if it can be avoided what we're doing. Well a lady was walking her dog so we went around a bend past her. just after release it, I saw someone in a house across the street out watering with his dog running around. It's like great, just what we were trying to avoid, anyone knowing we're releasing them into this wooded area.


Speakong of the green house it needs lots of work but that's besides the point. I want to kill now! My mom things they are called mud dobbers. Like yellow jackets but she said they don't sting. One nest is one my window! Another is on a lower level window but I haven't gotten the guts to do anything about them yet. Plus we're still having trouble with our stupid new neighbors. First they cut my moms plant down, now they contuinue to bitch and moan to the city on us. My mom thinks that to them we are just renters and if they complain enough we'll move out and let their relivtives move in. I guess bullying people worked for them in california, which is what their licence plates say their from, but their in Texas now. Their messing with people who don't back down easily. Well they're going to the extreame now. There's another family living there. they have three boys guessing ages 5-10. Well my mom caught them in our backyard just looking around. Then they wanted a crystal globe my mom keeps in a swan scupture. They though it was a ball and wanted to throw it around! Then another wanted a bird bath just to give to his mother. We have a feeling that by the time these kids get older they will be major theives. They're already getting a jump start on it. I took our dog out and as I letting her back in I noticed these kids stating around by the car! My mom went out there and it seems they stole well I never saw it but she said it was a plastic little bird thats wings twirled in the wind, she got it back but still. We're wondering if they are the ones who threw the eggs. One egg was against a wall that's a garden. and the other was behind the car. My mom has some plasitic fish on statues that the lady next door gave her for a birthday present. They've been sitting quietly in this pot for the longest. I told my mom that would be next. So we had to bring them in.

We had a washingmaching that broke. they called an complained and they said we had 1 day to get rid of it. The lasy next door later commented that she had an appliance and it took two or three days before the city would get to it. We moved it behind a fence we have streatched arcoss our house and theirs. Laster a man that collects metal came and got it. They complained about our grass being over 12 inches! We finally got the yard settled enough even though we never mowed it till later. I told my mom the other day when we saw their grass was well over 12 inces and the fact that their bitching about us. they have a board against their house and a screen door that's been there over a month since they moved in. But yet they don't get into trouble. My mos always been well we can't do that, lets give them time to calm down. They did just move here. Its like screw that they got us into trouble twice just to try to force us to move!

Finally these last two times broke that. We had a metal arch that's missing pieces and was in front of our car that you couldn't even see unless you wanked over and a few other things in the front yard. They bitched to the city again and they said that and the palm trees and crapemertal tree grew out since July to stop her from seeing. Well we haven't moved and she's still pissed so she had I'd say those kids snoop around and try to find more. Well we have a deck that extrends out from the house. Well with bushes and things you can't see it from the street and be lucky to see it from her place. She calls and complains on it! My mom asked it was a new inspector, she asked him how what's on the deck that can't even be seen from the street is anyones buisness and asked who was doing this, as if she didn't already know. But he didn't answer as to why the deck had to be cleaned up but said he couldn't tell who complained cause it was a privacy issue. I'm like my mom 'What about OUR privacy?! She said you can go to the court house to find out. My mom finally had enough and called the city about their stupid board and door and their building a fence. She called and complained on them about those and not having a permit for the fence. She said all she got was a recording and they'd get back to us. their stuffs still there and we've not heard back. Those tha jerk inspector told my mom he'd be back everyday since this complaint issue has been going on since July. My mom questioned him on it, since the last inspector had said we passed inspection. But again he had no answers. He said the next time it wouldn't be a warning, it'd be a fine!

I found out that they have no numbers painted on the curb and they have to have it but my moms well she said its not that she's chicken but wants to hold something back for the future. I still think she should have called on their grass when she had the chance since they complained and have done so much to us. But no...

Then I still think they had something to do with it but I suppose it could have been a coincidence. But you never know. We have a car and an elcamino. The elcamino runs. However the car doesn't. We tried a few months ago and since we don't use it often the battery died. Well the police came and told my mom that a car similar to ours was reported being seen fleeing the scene of a garage robbery. My mom told them that she'd been there for about 20 minutes and couldn't hardly move and I was asleep. But they were welcome to look around and even look at the car but told them about the battery being dead. My mom said they glanced around a little but I guess decided this wasn't the right vehichle and left.

lessons learned
I've leanred something. Never share your picture with someone you think of as a friend. No matter how long you've known them.

I once knew this girl who lived in Denmark. We were friends. Well one day I had a picture of me when I was young on a site called yesterdayland.com. Saddly that site last account I had was gone. But I showed it to her. Well she sent one back. Well hers though wasn't very good she was sitting across the room on her bed with her head down in a book. Well then she tells me she's going to Austrailia to visit a friend for christmas. That was 2-3 years ago. Well the other day my friend Cat who I've known less than 2 years asked me to look at this web cam pic of herself. Well I felt it only nice to show her mine. Mine saddly had to be my id card pic and you know how bad those are. But it was all I had. Well I guess things started going downhill long ago and now getting worse. First she use to be a big help when I wrote my fan fictions cause I could just tell her my ideas and since she was current with the story editing and helping out by making sure it made sense and stuff, then one day she stopped. Now I try to avoid asking her as much as possible. I have another friend that I work on my stories together with her, but difference is Cat is on AIM now! And my friend Clarity I have to wait hours or a day before she gets on and gets the message when I'm trying to work on it now! That's why it was so hard losing her cause now I have no one to help me. Then yesterday she announced she's thinking of leaving my neopets guild. I kept badgering her on it. But she claims its no fun anymore and when I try to press for details it, 'WellI feel uncomfortable when people talk about Animes. Yu-gi-oh and a few movies is all I watch.' I told her that there were a lot that others talk about that I didn't know but that it doesn't bother me much. She's all I don't care. So I tried to press her into making a desicion now! And leave! But she's little miss high and mightly and well I'll let you know what I decide. I really have to think about it. Like I can do anything if she decides to leave.

So from now on I never show my picture to anyone again. If I lose online friends that quickly. Maybe somethings wrong with my personalty, perhaps that why I never had many or kept them for more than one semester in school. But I know I won't no matter how tempted I am show my pic to Clarity. I definatly don't want to lose her! She's the only other person who really talks to me. Even if 95% of what we discuss is the story we're working on.

   yugi vs joey
Okay this is just stupid. I read this in a magazine. Every Yu-gi-oh fan knows that Yugi is the best around and Kaiba is second best. Kaiba was best before Yugi. Now your going to try to tell me that in the duel after battle city that was never shown between Yugi and Joey that Joey won without Yugi throwing the duel, right. This magazine says that Yugi used the egyption god cards in his duel against Joey and Joey still won. Give me a break! I don't belive that for a moment! Kaiba can wipe the floor with Joey and has only ever been beaten by Yugi and your going to try to convince me that Yugi using the all three egyption god cards lost to Joey! Yeah, right. If he did Yugi didn't play at the top of his game like he would against Kaiba. I refuse to belive that Yugi playing his best as if this was just another opponet that he'd still lose. Not in this life time.

   Muslim Suicide
Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists
are so quick to commit suicide.
Let's see now. . .

No Jesus,
No Christmas.
No television,
No cheerleaders,
No baseball,
No football,
No hockey,
No golf,
No tailgate parties,
No Wal-Mart,
No Home Depot,
No pork BBQ,
No hot dogs,
No burgers,
No chocolate chip cookies
No lobster,
No shellfish, or even frozen fish sticks,
No gumbo,
No jambalaya.
No Beer.

Rags for clothes and towels for hats.
Constant wailing from the guy next-door because he's
sick and there are no doctors.
Constant wailing from the guy in the tower.
More than one wife.
You can't shave.
Your wives can't shave.
You can't shower to wash off the smell of donkey
cooked over burning camel dung.
The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all
times.
Your bride is picked by someone else. She smells just
like your donkey.
But your donkey has a better disposition.
Then they tell you that when you die it all gets
better!

I mean, no kidding, really, is there a mystery here?

   Books
When we learned that the shop we cleaned was going out of buisness I started collecting books. They'd have thrown them out if they didn't sell anyway. We once got two boxes full from the dumpster once. Well one box we sold a few weeks ago we got $5 for. I was thrilled thinking wow we had 5 more boxes almost full of books. Most were childrens books but still. I was hoping for at least that if not a touch less per box. Well I took all 5 boxes in and I got 6 and change for all 5 boxes!!! The excuse was that because they were all childrens books that that's about all they get so they can't pay that much for them! I know its a half price book store and all but that's just sad. I still bet they will turn around and resale them all and make twice that much! I didn't have much choice in wheather or not to accept the offer. The only other place that accepts books doesn't pay you cash, they give you a coupn for more books in that same store. The only other location is in Fort Worth and my mom's said more than once she aint driving all the way out there. I once sold a bunch of books along with a Manga book got $5 for them. Someone told me they now pay more for those but I doubt much more. My mom told me to try to resale it on ebay and I told her that because we don't have a credit or debit card that we can't. I told her I could resale them on Amazon.com but again you must have a credit or debit card. So we're stuck with them cause I seriously doubt they'll give you more than 1 or 2 for them.

arch
we bought a metal arch to replace one we have that's made of ladice that's about to fall down. It's not fair! We were going slow but we were managing. It was hard enough to do without written instructions just a picture instruction page. Then we come to find out that 2 pieces are missing from it! Majorly miffed us off! Now we have to upe we can find something that will work in it's place. they had one put together in the store so we're assuming that they just screwed up and took parts from this one and then put the one with missing pieces out for sale. It was originally 40 but on sale for 25. We couldn't take it back cause a day or two after we bought it we of course just left it outside. Well it rained and when we went to open the box it disintegrated!

   Not My DAY!!!
I should have stayed in bed this morning! I get up thinkong i'm going to get to go out to lunch with my mom and meet my sister over at the fast food place after picking up my niece Kimberly. they called last night saying this. I told my mom to call them back and confirm details. But no.... oh no can't do that. I'll find out in the morning cause basically I'm too lazy to call back! Well we only have moms elcamino wich only seats 3! We have a car that my sister gave to us years ago after a wreck and the insurance company condemed it in not costing too much to fix it. But a few weeks back we were going to go somewhere in the car and we learned 2 things. first there were 2 wasps nest in two differnt parts of the car and second the battery was dead! well when it came time to go to lunch it turned out I wasn't allowed to go because of my moms lazyness! My other neice Kristi was also going to go! So that meant no room for me! I was extreamly upset by it! Well my mom promised that she'd bring me back something. then she changed her mind and said we'll just get a new battery for the car then she'd get me something. Well she had said that the one nest in the door got so big she was able to knock it down! But when we went to look to get the battery we couldn't find it. then we find it under somekind of shield. fearing she might mess something up she's decided just to have a wreaker take it down to a shop and get them to change it. She was going to give up and just stay in the house till I asked if she wanted more than just the backed potato she gets at the resturant. She then remembered she'd promised to get me something. I told her she didn't have to. But she insited. Well I told you the shop we cleans going out of buisness well we have a bunch of books they just threw away not wanting to fool with them. So we took them to sell. we got 5 bucks out of all the books and a few records that we got. Then she tells me that my cat Tipper whose been hit by at least one car before was nearly ran over by her! She was under the car! Luckaly she got away before anything happened. So I decided I'd feed them. after her first accident I started giving her can food to build up her streangth. well she's in as full of health as she can get and I wanted to check on her. Well notmally I feed them in the green room outside. but it got infested with ants so I moved it outside after my mom first she sprayed it. Fine, but then made the mistake of putting some I guess grains is the only word I can think of down. I protested this! Mainly cause years ago we had a problem with slugs so I put slug flaks down. one of our dogs got into it and went totaly blind. well we did put boards down and I moved their cat food outside. so far their okay. well I noticed they were out of dry food so I put over half a can of can food down and bring the rest in to the 2 inside cats. well after putting the food down I thought there was enough room between the cage to catch the opossoms and the cats to quietly without disturbing them go outside to feed them. I triped on the cage and scaped my leg up good! I tore my sock and scared the cats to death! So I should have just stayed in bed today!
