SkyeDS: how do :) was your weekend lovely?
evile: quiet, mostly.
evile: how about yours?
SkyeDS: rained at home, not at the event, but was nice and cool and
overcast the entire time, and we all had a very lovely event :)
evile: excellent :)
SkyeDS: looks like it's tuning up to rain today, that would be quite
nice
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I like it to rain at night, and during the work day, but not
on the weekends :)
evile: Sweetie found something he wants to do the weekend of Oct 10,so
looks like I'm going to miss Harvest King.
SkyeDS: long as you're having fun :)
evile: It should be fun.
SkyeDS: next weekend, Morconor has a one day event in Cameron park in
Waco Saturday and then we'll do Drandmir Sunday
SkyeDS: weekend after that is Harvest King, and then we will return
to our regularly scheduled Events, all the way to Thanksgiving
evile: No plans for the upcoming weekend as of yet. It's opening
weekend of TRF, and I know some people are going, but we havent'
decided yet.
evile: I went on a serious clean-&-organize kick yesterday. My pantry
is gorgeous now. :P
SkyeDS: :D
SkyeDS: I wore my new corset to court, found I couldn't drive in it,
and decided not to try to ride in it.
evile: Sitting down is not comfy in my corset, I can do anything
standing, but sitting not good.
SkyeDS: I have decided, when I'm riding, I'm going to be absolutely
comfortable, at least when playing on the Course. When I'm not on
the Course, then I'll wear skirts and corsets to ride
evile: *nod*
evile: I missed Drandmir's event out at Lockhart. I feel bad about
that, since I said I'd go. :(
SkyeDS: excrement occurs.
evile: Yeah. I don't like to say I'm going to be there and then not
show up...but it happens.
evile: I did go to Pecan St. festival, which was cool, and then I
went to a quilt show with [Aunt L] & [Uncle B]. That was pretty amazing, as
lame-sounding as it is.
SkyeDS: I would have gone to Pecan Street if we hadn't been elsewhere
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: Hugh's wife Joyce was going to go
evile: I ran into Onyxlynxx, Roninjedi & Maggiemaepisces there. M's in the situation
I fear Mom's about to be in--taking care of her son's girlfriends'
kids for the next 3 months, at least.
SkyeDS: sineater is on phone and says there's new development with [brother A]?
evile: dunno about 'new', but the last thing I heard about is that
[brother A] & [The Rubber Pig] had some kind of disagreement and [The Rubber Pig] called Mom &
told her that [brother A] had hit her and was in jail. Turns out that the
jail part, at least, was false. And I am not believing the hitting
thing, either.
SkyeDS: I know better than to ask this.
SkyeDS: But out of academic curiosity: why the hell would you say
someone was in jail when that fact is easily disprovable?
SkyeDS: and why would you call his mother to tell her that?
SkyeDS: (you = anyone in general, not you personally)
evile: sorry, had a phone call.
SkyeDS: np
evile: I agree. No reason to call Mom & tell her anything, [The Rubber Pig] just
wants to test the waters, see how stirred up she can get things.
evile: Sad thing is, Mom was the only person willing to give the
relationship the benefit of the doubt, and here she is being punished
for that.
SkyeDS: wtf
evile: [Uncle B] says that [The Rubber Pig]'s going to have to leave [brother A], at this
point its pretty much a given that [brother A] will stick around through
anything.
SkyeDS: what incentive would she have for leaving [brother A]
evile: none yet, obviously. But when the next piece of big, stupid
dick comes along, she'll be gone.
SkyeDS: where's Trey been in all this I wonder
evile: *shrug*
SkyeDS: I have a solution
SkyeDS: introduce her to kaleon
evile: *laugh*
evile: That would be just brilliant, except his paganism would offend
her "devout Jew"-ness.
SkyeDS: I know, I'm bad
SkyeDS: but I thought it was cute
evile: Or, hey, maybe she would see it as a 'challenge' and chase
after him to convert him to her faith by the power of her golden
cooch.
SkyeDS: I also think it would be cute to run the Jews out of Florida
and give it to the Palis
SkyeDS: build a Great Wall, and then we have no more voting problems,
no more hurricane problems, and no more Pali homeland problems
SkyeDS: God is going to keep sending hurricanes till they get a clue
( and learn how to vote )
evile: they dont[ want FLORIDA dirt, they want their OWN dirt.
evile: hm. How to make sure [The Rubber Pig] the Breeder Twat and kaleon the
codependent dildo meet...? This would unfortunately involve one of us
spending time with them. Not worth it...sorry.
SkyeDS: yep. we'd have to be in their presences to lock them in a
closet together.
SkyeDS: might be easier to herd them off a cliff together, with a
vehicle
evile: heehee. :)
SkyeDS: he wants to be poly l33t so bad, we could throw X in too
evile: Despite his illusions to the contrary, X wasn't attracted
to him....
evile: X apparently likes tattooed musician druggie assholes.
SkyeDS: he was scared of getting his ears pierced, I don't see tats
in his future, as much as he wants them
evile: *laff*
SkyeDS: and as much as he reminisces about his show choir
experiences, he can neither dance nor sing
evile: oh well.
evile: All [The Rubber Pig] needs is viable sperm and an audience.
evile: I just can't think up a way to get them together without
inflicting them on us in the process.
SkyeDS: nope, lol
evile: oh well. It's a good thought.
SkyeDS: nods, I'm easily amused
evile: something like that is more fun to think about than reality,
anyway.
SkyeDS: yep, along with a bank vault or sturdy closet, H&K MP5
(submachine gun) and a padlock and logging chains
evile: heh.
evile: How about a form letter looking thing, that says they've won
something, but they have to go to _____ hotel. And then when they get
there, they find that the honeymoon suite is reserved in both their
names.
SkyeDS: in S.A. or Austin. I don't envision kaleon riding his new
schwinn down to S. A.
evile: oh right.
evile: charge it on one of those 7-11 Mastercards so that it
hopefully can't be traced...
Hm. This concept has potential.
evile: we could wrap it around Linucon for him, but what would
motivate her to go to the same place for a geek-con?
SkyeDS: I have no clue what motivates her
evile: me neither.
evile: "you've won a fabulous trip to Paris, France! Claim your prize
in person at the Red Lion Hotel between the hours of _ and _, October
9, 2004"
SkyeDS: I don't know if he'd respond to that or not, if he hadn't
entered something already
evile: Well, for him we'd say "Here is your complimentary pass and
room for Linucon, the geek heaven"
evile: *sigh* [brother A] isn't ready to let go of her, so it would probably
just get into one of those stupid male chest-puffing episides
SkyeDS: for the umpteen millionth time, why is he doing this to
himself?
evile: He likes the drama. He has had gfs in the past who did the 'if
you don't ___, I'll die/kill myself" and he always jumped through her
hoop.
evile: One of the most painfully ironic conversations I ever had was
when they were both on the phone with me and [The Rubber Pig] started pumping me
for info on all his previous girlfriends.
SkyeDS: with him listening.
evile: *nod* So I talked about Heather and her suicide threats, and
Robin and her lack of medication & cheating, and tried very very hard
to push into [brother A]'s brain that here he is with more of the same, and
he was just kind of 'duh' an dshe was all like "oh, [brother A], aren't you
glad you're with ME now? I'm not a crazy loser like that" or
something like that.
SkyeDS: omfg
evile: Like I said: Painfully Ironic.
evile: nigh to have bit my tongue clean off...
SkyeDS: I bet!
evile: If nothing else, I have learned*some* tact over the years.
SkyeDS: nods
evile: *sigh*
SkyeDS: :D
evile: not that it helped with this one...she decided to hate me and
so she does.
evile: Oh well.
SkyeDS: should have known they were too quiet lately
evile: I have deliberately tried to stay away from all of it. All I
hear is whatever [Aunt L] or Mom want to tell me.
evile: [brother A] issued his ultimatum, I heard it and respect it, whether
it breaks my heart or not is beside the point...
SkyeDS: :|
evile: I absolutely cannot stand her, I hate her, I want her dead,
and I can't make nice to her or support his stubborn refusal to take
even 1 step to take care of himself...so I can't be around them.
evile: Not to mention her constant re-writing of reality which hurts
my brain.
SkyeDS: nod
evile: Do you know that [brother A] has had NO counseling since the suicide
attempt? not even with her dad?
SkyeDS: I thought that was required by law after a suicide attempt
evile: [sister H] got a friend of her dad's to offer free counseling, he
turned her down. [Uncle B] has made a list, has given [brother A] phone #'s for
MHMR, and he hasn't lifted a finger to do it.
evile: the law has better things to do than follow up with indigents
evile: supposedly, [brother A] has been 'too busy'--she keeps him up all
hours of the day & night 'taking care' of her, all he has energy to
do is take the kids to school, and then he sleeps all day.
SkyeDS: who's working?
evile: Trey, again.
SkyeDS: (slow, sorry in advance)
evile: no prob :)
evile: I am thinking of creating a 'battle bitch' ensemble for faire,
or whatever, this year.
evile: I may have managed to draw up a good pattern for a
handkerchief-hem skirt. Haven't actually made it yet, so we'll see.
SkyeDS: Janet does that all the time, makes her own patterns or works
completely without one.
evile: well, like I said, we'll see....
evile: I am also going to try and do what I can with what I have,
instead of dropping more $ at the fabric store...
SkyeDS: nods. I'm a poseur crafter. I buy all t hese pretty raw
materials and they sit around for the longest time
evile: me too.
evile: I've had some of the stuff in my work room since Indiana. We
are talking over 10 years now...
SkyeDS: you not poseur, you actually do stuff, with some of it.
evile: well, thanks for the vote of confidence, anyway. It's been a
long time since I've done anything, and I need to get back to it.
SkyeDS: one of the equestrians makes a living vending at fair. Garb
plus a whole bunch of other stuff.
SkyeDS: been burglarized three times now
evile: suck!
SkyeDS: this last time right before TRF
evile: at home, or in their booth?
SkyeDS: (this weekend)
SkyeDS: both
evile: yuck.
SkyeDS: always when the stock is in the trailer, in either case
SkyeDS: the husband used to sell insurance, I know he knows they need
it.
evile: that's too bad....
SkyeDS: I pointed out that if they fibbed just a little, and said
that the trailer was attached to the truck at the time, that it might
(I'm not sure) be covered under their auto policy
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: but an auto policy will just cover a little, not the entire
10K that was taken
evile: yup. But better than nothing, I guess. I can't even imagine..
that is just so awful.
SkyeDS: I would have gotten insurance after being hit the first time
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: that would be like me being sued by three parents before I
got liability
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: and since they know where and when to hit her, and given that
the stuff they take would be of no interest to anyone but a
renny/vendor, you know it's an inside job.
SkyeDS: she has enemies. and the enemies might take it for the hell
of it, not to resell it, which will make them harder to catch.
evile: that is the worst thing...you think the faire community is so
cool & that people there take care of each other. And then shit like
that happens.
SkyeDS: vastly sucks
evile: it really does.
evile: I got disillusioned about all that 'faire community' stuff
pretty early on, so I consider myself lucky in that I knew to take
all precautions once I was vending.
SkyeDS: you have to wonder when it's happened at least three times,
that they haven't learned how to prevent it
evile: well...yeah. But some people are just unlucky for whatever
reasons. And hten there's me, little miss 'god/ess protects children
and fools'...I don't know how or why more bad things haven't
happenedto me in life, but I'm damn grateful...
SkyeDS: amen
evile: some people are just bad luck magnets...poor things.

SkyeDS: so much of my stuff is such shit I can't imagine it being
stolen (like a beat to shit 95 ranger and a 20 yo piece of shit horse
trailer)
SkyeDS: I would put to you that if you can afford 10K worth of raw
material you can't NOT afford insurance on it
evile: *nod*
evile: I think my entire inventory, in both finished product & raw
materials, is less than 3 grand.
evile: and it's all paid for, no credit. The only thing I have on my
business credit card is that wretched TRF trip.
SkyeDS: I'd like to do bidness at the big faires once I have a draft
and carriage/vardo
evile: *nod* that would be way cool.
SkyeDS: I'd like to operate inside the faire
SkyeDS: but even if they just let me run outside
SkyeDS: big bucks taxi-ing around those parking lots I reckon
SkyeDS: particularly end of day
evile: would be fun either way, I think.
evile: well, dang. It's 4 already.
evile: *hugs* I'm glad you had a good weekend. Living well is the
best revenge & all that ;P
SkyeDS: :D HUGS, wind to your wings :)
