Let Count!!!

I am about to leave but I will do the first 5 and then I will look at my sidekick while driving.  I promise, I won't look unless I am at the light or ordering my dinner at McDonald!!!  I just want to see how much we get before it goes off the first page!!!

Set!  Get Ready!  GO!!!

time for me to get ready!!!

I am going to sunday school class.  I missed 3 weeks.  3 weeks ago, was prayer meeting and had no interpreter so I didn't go.  2 weeks ago, I don't remember why and last week, I was really sick with sinus and allergy.   So this time, I am not sick and no prayer meeting so I am going!!!

Have a great day!!!

Decision to make!!

While I was packing, I realize I do not have a big enough box for one item.  Most of the times, I will buy them but sometimes, I will actually have the box.  But I do have flat rate priority box.  So I had to make a decision.  Buy a regular box or use the priority box and send it out priority (even those the cost will be less than $8.95 but close going thru parcel)  But then I realize it cost money to buy box and in the end, it is actually cheaper to send it priority because the box are free!!!!

So someone pay parcel and will be getting it thru priority!!!  It really depend on the zone.  This zone is higher shipping so it will be worth it to use it and I will not lose any money and shipping & handling will be the same as if I send it parcel (since I would have pay for a box)

US Citizenship test!

You think you must have aol to do this.  You can try.  But I got 7 out of 10 right!

One word post!

Hi

Just finished taking a bath and feel so fresh!!!

I love the feeling of fresh!!!!  I will need to do some laundry, and ebay before I head out for Sunday School at 6:30. 

I need to relist everything today to take advantage of the last day!!

Christmas is coming!!

I am being reminded here on the blog!!

It used to be my favorite holiday but not anymore!!!  It is the hardest holiday for me since a long time.

1999 - First Christmas since separation

2000 - Another Christmas since separation

2001 - First Christmas since divorce and I went to TN away from family but come home and having mom say, I ruin Christmas.

2002 - The day depression hit, my family refused to sit with me on Christmas Eve service.  They wanted to sit with my aunt & uncle. I sit in front where there is interpreter.  That Christmas, I cried over every little things.  I didn't know what was wrong with me but look back, it was the start of depression.

2003 - Fight over my birthday and my sister said can never celebrate my birthday again.

2004 - Fight over me and causing the family to spilt.  I was not in the fight or saw it.  But my dad kicked them out of the house during dinner.  My aunts and cousins planned this fight if I did certain things for day and guess what I did. It was relating to depression and also was on new medicine and didn't adjust to it yet.

2005 - Very tense time due what happen last year and just my brother, sister family and parents. My mom blaming me for not having HER family over too as they refuse if I am there.  Dad said we will have Christmas with me.  If it was my mom's way, she say I can't join.

2006 - 3 days before Christmas, my best friend call my counselor about what was going on.  She told her to call the cop and cops came.  They basically told my parents that they cannot touch, yelled at me and they can't kicked me out of the house. Basically was told there are there for me and if problem, called them and they will document it in their report so if my parents take me to court, the department will show them the record about my parents. So very tense moments and went down in the black pit there. 

So what will 2007 bring????

This is the first time, I wish my birthday was not on Christmas!!!!  If only my friends were in town to celebrate with people I enjoyed!!!

Weather Alert!!!!!

This is the weather alert I really love!!  It is the windy day alert!!  The weather is just soo nice.  It is showing red for weather alert on my computer.  I just love windy day especially in FL when the temp is lower as in 84 degrees now.  And it just feel so nice.

This weather alert is really no big deal even though they say that we could have gust of wind up to 30 mph.  But I been in sooo many tropical storms and 6 hurricanes.  So 30 mph is no big deal to me.

I am surprised!!

Last week, I left a negative to a newbies who never communicated with me.  I just left facts.  One was to point out to seller that she never communicated with me and 2nd point was for the buyer only that it never did have one as it doesn't exist. 

Normally, with newbies they get upset with their negative and you see it all the times on the blog.  But this one seems to accept it without any complaint.  And continue as nothing happen.  Maybe she did realize she made a mistake and should have contacted me first. 

A Saturday wasted!!

I really hate it when I am sooo looking forward to weekend but only to feel so crappy!!!!  Even everyone said I looked horrible. Today, my mom said, maybe it is the room that making me sick.  I was very surprised to hear my mom say that and I was thinking, well there is an empty bedroom in the house instead of out in the garage. 

Come to think of it, maybe the room is making me sick.  Because it have been raining lately and that dampness could be it.  On Monday, I am going to grab a new apartment guide and start looking.  I am hoping to start my 2nd job within 2 weeks. 

Good Night!!!

Going to bed!!!  Been a very long day!!!  Good Night!!!

Non Payor!!!

I always send an invoice and then if not pay by 5th days, I will send a reminder and then on the 7th day, I will start the non pay dispute.  I did get one reply for one but what I don't understand if there is a problem, why doesn't buyer communicate before you do the dispute.  here what it say, do you believe or not.  It is so hard know what to do, are they trying to get sympathy in story that may be not true or it could be really true. Here it is

"Hi...I am very sorry that I have not paid. I am afraid that sometime this week, I had an envelope
with over $300 vanished.  My daughter is paralyzed from the neck down and I am afriad it might have
been one of her nurses.  Can you please extend me grace and allow me to not pay for this?  If it is
a major problem, I can pay for it on Monday.  Thank you."

I see a couple of Floridian here!!

My sister and I add some more to You know you are Floridian when.....

.....when the other side of the house is raining but the other side is not.

..... when you need to use the superfast wiper for downpour rain.

.... when you pull over because it just too hard to see thru the rain.

.... when you do not understand why it is raining when there is no dark cloud around.

.... when you hear a thunder but no storm  is visble.

.... When you change your speed of the wiper every 30 sec.

.... When you actually plan to not go anywhere around 2 to 5 knowing that it will most likely storm or have downpour.

 

My sister instant message me and said I'm so sorry!!!

I was ready to call her thru the relay service about yesterday and just let her have it again!!!  I was planning to do it during my lunch break.  I went to get my sidekick and getting ready for the battle and there was a message from my sister on my instant message say, "I"M SOOOOOOO SORRRY!!!"  She said she was so mad and just took it out at everybody in the family.  Yesterday, she found one bug but nothing else.  She get prescription for it as RID does not work for my niece before.  What calm her down was the pre-school director!!  She told her that it is impossible for her to get it at the party on Saturday due to only finding 1 bug.  She said it have to be within 48 hours.  She told her that it is most likely from one of the other preschooler kids or the kids choir at church.  So they are checking all the preschooler kids today and calling up parents that went to the Wednesday night. 

I told her that I will never treat myself unless I have it.   I told her I wasn't around anybody at all.  I remind her that Charissa is in pre-school and there is no more blaming my brother.  GRRR!!!!!

 

Good Morning, tjsttng here!!!

It is Friday and I just realize tomorrow is my cousin's surprise baby shower.  I am not going.  She didn't invite me the wedding and then she said I could come if I will do one things but had a deadline.  I told her I will do it but I will have to set an appointment with my counselor and that we have been working on it.  But the deadline was impossible. I also told her that my friend was willing to interpret for the wedding.  So she said that she can't come.  Finally, she said that I must by this deadline and I told her it was impossible as I needed to arrange the time and so on.  I told her that she is NOT in control of my life and my healing process.  Then she suddenly said I can't go.  I never did have invitation and I realize she never intended to invite me and my whole entire family went.  I was the only one and I was the black sheep in the family. 

So now, I been invited to a baby shower for her.  Well, I am not going and I think it is very RUDE to invite me as she made it very clearly that she didn't want me in her life or celebrate her special day.  My grandma asked me if I was going and I was like no and she asked me why and I didn't reply.  Actually, on Christmas Day (2005) there was a huge fight about me and I wasn't even there.  I didn't see no fight and I was blame for spilting the family.  I cried so hard that day when it was time to celebrate for my birthday and I got a lecture and all the blame.  Apparently, my dad kicked them out of the house on Christmas Day.  We suspected that they planned to do this.  They were watching me to see if I was going to do that and I did and they created a blew up in the family.  I was in the bedroom the entire time it happen.  It was the hardest Christmas and even afterward as my mom blamed me for that.  So every Christmas, I get that reminder.  I started counseling 3 days later (I went to a new one, the old one was not good and messed me up). My spiritual mom, called my doctor and said I need one now.  He was looking for one that specialize in deaf but there wasn't anybody in the area and she got me an emeregeny sessions.

The whole things was not my fault and the couselor said good for my dad for kicking them out!!  And she told me that I didn't spilt the family and it takes time to heal.  Everyone wanted me to heal or be under their control in what they wanted me to do.   There was threat that they would not be invited to the wedding (April) and finally decide I was not invited.

So I will never do anything for my cousin. She is out of my life!  She will never realize what she did was wrong.  The one person I actually HATE so much.  More than my ex-husband.  It have nothing to do with I need to forgive as my sister said.  It have to do that she hurt me very badly and now she decide I can be part of her life.  Nope, she made that decision 2 years ago and I do not need to be around her.

I checked it in the mirror!!

I am the best person in the whole family to see the lice.  They would literally drive over here to check their head.  I hate it that I can see it so well and also I can feel it very well.  I check my hair in all the possible and favorite places and I see nothing. I did it in the bathroom under the light.  I have a big mirror and light is right under the mirror.  I finally found the head lice comb in the back of the bathroom cabinet and comb it really well and nothing. 

Really, I am the best to see if I have it.  My family are sooooo blind and they struggle to see in my hair.  Apparently in the light, my hair is just about the same color so I know my hair and I can see it and feel it.  Also, I check to see if I have any bite mark on my scalp. 

I am waiting for my mom to come home.  She is working late today. 

Getting Off!!!

Thank sis for making me very angry!!  I will never ever do anything or get anything for my sister again!! 

I better get off!!  I been feeling my hair but can't feel anything and need to be wash so I need to take a shower!! 

I will take my brother's word that his kids don't have them and that my sister is being paranoid.  She once threatened my brother that she was going to report him to HRS about the head lice about a year ago when Charissa got it from them. 

If my sister asked me to get something from netflix, I will tell her no and say remember when I got Cinderalla and how rudely you told me that I needed to be treated before I could come over.  And you would not accept that I do not have it and demanded me to be treated.  You demanded me to goes out and get expensive shampoo for no reason.  SHEESH!!!  Never again!!

Good Night!  I hope I can sleep! Going to do shower and then I need to do ebay for packaging and then bed!

I am sooooo angry!!!!!

At my niece's birthday party, my sister invited me to her house for dinner and she asked me to get Disney movie for Charissa thru netflix.  We decided on Cinderalla as she never see that and that what she want to be for Halloween.  So I got it and I am holding on to it instead of watching it immediately. 

I get an instant message from my brother in law saying I can't come over until I get my head treated.  Apparently, they think my brother's kids where the party were have head lice.  There a very bad case of head lice since Kayla (birthday girl) was born and it was on-going problem for about 2 1/2 years.  I been treated so many times.  My brother never tell us about it.  I remember how bad the first time I got it from them. I didn't know I had them for about a month due to I never itch until one day I complained to my ex-mother-in-law that my neck is very itchy and she said it is red where I am itchy and teased me I have fleas.  I discovered the next day that I had lice when I pulled out a bug and I ran into the bathroom and got under the light and I saw how bad it was.  I got it 2 more times and I told my brother the next time, he doesn't announce that they kids have it again, I will be sending a bills for those treatment since it is sooo expensive.  I have cried every single times.  I remember I had no money for it and my dad had to buy it. They been headlice free for about a year now!!!  Which is awesome for them and for me. Headlice love my hairs due to being very fine.

Anyway, I have my dad called my brother to confirm if the kids have lice because my sister and brother in law can be such a jerk!  My brother said they do not have them and the school always check for them.  My dad said what about their cousin Jade.  I told them no because she didn't itch at all.  My dad was like she could have gotten it from pre-school and not Mike's kid. 

I am furious because I get instant message from my brother in law and said I cannot come over until I have my hair treated.  I am holding on Cinderalla and they want me to go out and get expensive shampoo that I most likely don't have.  I will have my head check.  I told him and my sister, I will not buy them unless I have too.  I told them you can pay for it if you want me to go thru it.  How dare them tell me that I can't come over until my hair is treated.  I think I have lice.  My brother in law is going to Horror night at Universal and so on.  Sometimes I just hate them!  They want me to treat my hair due to that there was a birthday party at my brother's house.  I am sooo angry at them.
