evile: Phone duty SUCKED today!!! :P Saturday sounds like a good time.
SkyeDS: hope so.
SkyeDS: hadn't really planned on the whole event but we'll see
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: no word from SA yet
evile: *nod* quelle surprise.
evile: I just have a bad feeling that [rubber pig] is going to orchestrate
some drama which will end with Paulie in the pound and twist it
around so it's "our fault" (at least in her and [brother A]'s pointy lil'
heads)
SkyeDS: :(
evile: *sigh* she's pretty well unbeatable, far as I can tell.
everything she wants, she's gotten.
SkyeDS: kerosene/gas and matches.
evile: unfo she's got Kids and [brother A] thinks he loves her. I can't hurt
innocent people just for the sake of rooting out one evil thing... :(
evile: Having ethics & morals & a code of conduct is definitely
detrimental when dealing with a psychopath who will stoop to anything
to win.
evile: even if her win involves the death of innocents, it does not
seem to matter to her.
SkyeDS: kinda like, if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have them
evile: *nod*
evile: what's wierd is that she seems to desire the approval &
affection of [brother A]'s family....and yet all of her actions place her in
direct opposition to achieving that.
evile: "if you refuse to love me, then I will kill you, [brother A], and his
dog, too"
evile: I'm already in the 'dead' pile. so there's not much of
anything I can do at this point.
SkyeDS: :(
evile: I told you that [aunt L] called me yesterday and was all
like "have sineater call [brother A], bla bla" and I suggested that since [brother A] &
[rubber pig] were the ones asking the favor, they shoudl call YOU and not
vice versa. But maybe [aunt L] was right.
SkyeDS: before [aunt L] called there was a call from [brother A]
SkyeDS: on the registry, but he declined to leave a message
SkyeDS: and sineater can never get a hold of them when he calls them
evile: That sucks.
evile: I suggested that [aunt L] might want to share [rubber pig]'s email addy
with sineater, as a way to avoid phone tag. The email addy I had for [brother A]
is apparently no longer working.
evile: [rubber pig] was telling me at the picnic that her dad is dying & not
expected to live beyond the summer. Then [brother A] tried to kill himself.
Now Paulie is in danger. I think she needs a death before the end of
summer...
SkyeDS: :(
evile: She is crazy. Trying to figure her out just makes me hurt. I
need to quit.
SkyeDS: nods
evile: I had phone duty so I get to leave at 3 today. It was 'Indians
call evilE' day today. At least they are polite folks...but damn,
each call was like 15 minutes. ugh.
SkyeDS: after my usual 2 hour commute and 9 hour workday I get to
prepare a waiver for this weekend and buy a polaroid.
SkyeDS: am so tired.
evile: I bet. :(
SkyeDS: what's on your agenda for this weekend?
evile: Nothing set in stone. Voyagers party Saturday night. Thingy in
Rockdale Saturday daytime. That's all I know of thus far.
SkyeDS: really??? cool!!! :D
evile: I would do the blue hole hike Sunday but I bet the parks will
be totally cram-packed.
evile: I am betting Sweetie gets invited to something at the last minute
& we end up doing that.
SkyeDS: I'm going to bet that I get flack over Saturday
evile: ?
SkyeDS: "you need to get your priorities straight"
evile: oh, your parents not wanting you to attend the SCA event?
SkyeDS: well now it's not just a parade, it's a moneymaking
opoprtunity, so
evile: That's the way I see it, too.
evile: You are doing it because it's great free publicity for your
business & it's important to be known in the community, moreso
because it's a small town & the opinions of your neighbors may make
or break your business.
SkyeDS: and, I don't have to be there till 3:30 to set up
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: that's usually about the time it's too hot to work anyway
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: Marshall will probably be unhappy about the cancelled parade,
but he can still play at mounted combat, so maybe that will be ok
evile: hope so.
SkyeDS: he did exceedingly well at his lesson lastnight
evile: cool :)
evile: is he the one with the mom who is a freak?
SkyeDS: yes
evile: is she getting any better?
SkyeDS: last night she was worse
SkyeDS: she had her husband with her
SkyeDS: I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not
evile: ugh!!!
SkyeDS: I wonder if we aren't the best influence poor Marshall's got
evile: sad, but yeah. At least their presence didn't throw HIM off.
SkyeDS: two weeks ago, he'd ridden Jesse all of once, and was
terrified of her, and would not trot on Mirage
SkyeDS: last night he got on Jesse and the first thing he did was
kick her into a trot
SkyeDS: and stop her
evile: awesome!
SkyeDS: that new bit is working wonders
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: it's a training bit
evile: aha.
SkyeDS: I didn't realize the bit that we inherited was so harsh
evile: aw. Glad she got a better one.
SkyeDS: sonar0m bought it for her with his prize money :)
SkyeDS: I keep telling people that if you have pigheaded horses, an
easier bit is the way to go and not a harsher bit
evile: that's interesting.
SkyeDS: the reason some of them are pigheaded is because their bits
hurt them
evile: seems logical, no? :)
SkyeDS: need to get them floated and new coggins in the next two weeks
evile: it's always something, eh?
SkyeDS: nods
evile: I guess that's the way with everything. You own a house, car,
whatever... you get to do maintenance.
evile: (speaking of--Sweetie is all set to get a vacation house in Port
Bolivar!! AAGH!
SkyeDS: wow
evile: I'm sitting here going "property taxes, flood insurance,
regular painting & weather proofing...aaa!"
SkyeDS: sighs, amen
evile: We don't do enough for the house we have now, we don't need
another piece of property deteriorating on us.
SkyeDS: I'm looking forward to having a savings account again
evile: *nod* I bet.
evile: I finally have found a system that works for me. It doesn't
pay as agressively on the debt as I have in the past, but it does not
leave me penniless & miserable, either. So I think in the long run,
it will work better.
SkyeDS: 10% is $500 a month
SkyeDS: I'm going to aim for twice that
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: if we can save 12K a year that should go quite nicely toward
purchases like a full ton dually, 4H slant load with LQ, high $
horses, etc
evile: yup.
evile: I know our house needs lots of stuff...but I'd rather travel.
SkyeDS: you get to go home soon :)
evile: yup. I am making a run to the post office first, finally
getting some care packages off to J-Law, Rio, Dee, Holly, & Mom.
evile: welp, I should get to it. *hugs* hang in there, gal.
SkyeDS: wind to your wings bella :)
