Jeb

Well, Jeb is recovering nicely now. Breezee has moved and the first morning there after surgery, Jeb lifted the makeshift pen we had around him and crawled out from under it. It is a wire enclosure that we put together. He got out and went up three steps to the living room to PLAY with another dog that lives in the house! What a dork! Then he got the attention of the room mate staying in the upstairs by banging around with the collar thing he had to wear so he couldn't lick his staples. Ugh!
I think he even got up on Breezee and Todd's bed. He is definitely not supposed to be using ANY STAIRS! Let alone, JUMP UP ON A BED! He thinks he's invincible. Breezee was at work through all that.
He done all that one day after surgery! Well, I ended up modifying my house so he could stay with me. My five cats are blocked off from him so that's good. We have since fixed the pen so it is stable and made a ramp for him to walk down to go outside.
I had to move my stray kitty's food and shelter tub to the front porch.

All in all, I love having Jeb here. I asked her if we could keep him but she said, "no, you cannot have my dog".
I might fight for custody anyway!

Attention MJB Readers

Hey everybody. My mom wanted everybody to know that she will be on hiatus from the computer for a while as she is having her grand-dog move in with her (as most of you know that's him in the sidebar) after he's had surgery on his knee (he may have screwed up the surgery and pulled out a couple of staples by the way). So, as he quite likely is in need of 24/7 supervision she is having him stay at her house for a while.

She just wanted her readers to know that she's not ignoring them.

Regards, Larro

This is a WTF moment.

I posted a video of the demonic candy news.
This was a comment from a reader of my blog.

It's amazing how these people are so into magickal thinking like this.

Last night one woman giving out candy was trying to rope kids into listening to her while she preached at them. And she told them that by accepting candy they were agreeing to accept Jesus as their savior. WTF? Is their salvation now a contract clause as well?

I then asked him if it was in his neighborhood.

It was the neighborhood across the street from ours. And, yeah, she did. But Christene and aren't raising the kids to be confrontational in situations like that. Being in the south, they're going to have to deal with a lot of people who act that way and who may be in a position of authority (like a boss, teacher, whatever). So we just tell them to say "uh huh, that's nice" and then walk away.

I stood off to the side while the woman was going through her spiel and was just stunned at gall, to do that in front of their parents (Christene and I were both there). A guy at the state fair last week did the same thing: he swooped over as we walked buy, handed Ben a new testament and then try to proselytize him as we were walking. I walked over, removed the guy's arm (he had it around Ben's shoulder as he talked), handed him back to the bible and said, "Thank you, but we have one. You should give it to someone who needs them". Then I smiled and walked off saying, "Have a nice day."

Had enough.

I attended my mom's funeral today. My son Gary and his girlfriend are deaf so we were interpreting for them the funny stories that the pastor was telling. Of course we laughed and thought of my mom.
We didn't attend the dinner afterwards, we (my kids and their spouses and kids) went to a restaurant for lunch.
You know, it's hard enough that my mom died and I will never go fishing with her again, but to have someone say that we laughed all through the service for my mom was just incomprehensible.
I have had enough. My health and sanity means more to me than keeping in contact with any extended family member.

Horrorcore rap

I know I'm old now. I had never heard of this and it was right under my nose, so to speak. A "Strictly for the Wicked Festival" was held right here in Michigan. Rappers sing about chopping people up and such. Yikes! I guess it's no worse that rapping about shooting someone...is it?
A horrorcore rapper took his lyrics to a new level and really did chop people up. Seems he mentioned that jesus told him to do it. I doubt that, but I'm sure satan didn't tell him to do it either.
From the article:

The Rev. Sylvia Meadows of Farmville United Methodist Church baptized Emma at age 5 and her father when he was an adult. The pastor said the church has invited an occult specialist to speak with members of the community to help them come to grips with the dark side of humanity.

"We have looked evil in the face and cannot deny that it exists," Meadows said. "God is stronger than evil. God is bigger."

Luther Glenn, a member of Walker's Presbyterian Church where Niederbrock was pastor, took issue with McCroskey's comment about Jesus telling him to act. "I think it's deeply rooted in Satan, if you want to know the truth."

If god is bigger as this person stated, where was this all powerful god when this guy was chopping up people? Weird, seems like the god would of stopped it because one victim was a pastor. I don't get it...
