Life According To Lily

I am an extremely irate Lily!

This article was taken from: https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=195146393985728&id=177961175704250&set=a.177969355703432.1073741828.177961175704250&refid=7&_ft_=qid.5905695706180096272%3Amf_story_key.-5551322707768136343

I do not understand or know why or how a parent can do this to their own flesh and blood. Tears abound.

Andrew Ray Moyer Sr., 24, and Brianna E. Michael, 23.

Police have accused a Columbia couple of killing their 6-week-old son, who died after a series of severe beatings delivered over the course of one to two weeks, according to officials.

Their son, Andrew Moyer Jr., was found dead at the couple's apartment on the morning of Oct. 18.

Authorities said the boy was beaten multiple times and died after a final, brutal battering that included powerful blows to the head.

"It does not get much more depraved than this," Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman said, after his office approved charges Wednesday.

"They tortured their 6-week-old son, refused to get him medical treatment, then bashed his head repeatedly until he was dead."

According to an arrest affidavit filed Wednesday night, Andrew Moyer Jr. suffered brain injuries, burns, broken ribs and injuries to several internal organs.

The document does not state which of the two parents is believed to have delivered the beatings.

Authorities, however, wrote that both Moyer and Michael are at fault for the child's death because they failed to seek medical attention and conspired to lie to cover up the abuse.

Investigators outlined events this way in the affidavit:

Police and medical personnel called to the family's Locust Street apartment at 9 a.m. on Oct. 18 for a report of an unresponsive infant found the body of Andrew Moyer Jr.

That same day, police interviewed Moyer and Michael, along with William R. Long, who is the boyfriend of Michael's mother and sometimes stayed with the two when he was working in the area.

All three said they did not know what might have caused the baby's death.

On Friday, an autopsy concluded that Andrew Moyer Jr. died of multiple traumatic injuries and the Lancaster County Coroner's office ruled the death a homicide.

Dr. Wayne K. Ross, county forensic pathologist, said the child sustained blunt trauma to the head, probably from multiple blows with a fist, or from the baby's head being struck against a firm object. Those injuries, he said, likely would have caused death within minutes.

Ross found that the baby suffered similar injuries to the torso, resulting in a lacerated liver. He also found thermal burns to the infant's right hand and buttocks.

The pathologist also discovered the child had sustained other injuries, including brain swelling, nine broken ribs, subdural hematoma and hemorrhages to the lungs, diaphragm, liver, stomach, pancreas and bowel. The boy also had injuries to his mouth and scrotum.

During a second interview with Michael, she admitted she was aware within the last week or two of burns to her son's hand and buttocks. She said she also was aware of bruising to the scrotum area.

Michael also said that around 1 a.m. on the morning of her son's death, she discovered blood on his mouth and wiped it with a tissue. She said the baby seemed fine after she cleaned the blood.

When she checked on him eight hours later he was cold, motionless and lifeless, she said.

According to a forensics report, blood spatter on the infant's clothing was consistent with the child sustaining two blows to the mouth, officials said.

During follow-up interviews, Moyer, too, said he was aware of the burns to his son's body and bruising to his scrotum, all of which, officials said, would've been "extremely painful."

UPDATE:

Prosecutors filed a notice to seek the death penalty against Andrew Moyer and Brianna Michael in regards to the Oct. 18 homicide of 6-week-old Andrew Moyer Jr.

Prosecutors also said that they plan to try the couple together.

Each is charged with homicide, conspiracy and endangering a child for a series of beatings and torture that led to the boy's death.

First Assistant District Attorney Christopher Larsen, in the court filing, said the baby's age and the torture element are aggravating factors that prompted the death-penalty notice.

According to previous court filings, Michael, 23, eventually told police that Moyer, 24, administered what officials say was the fatal blow: a knee to the baby's head.

Still, first-degree murder convictions and the death penalty will be sought against both.

Here ends the article.

It's my oppinion that the death penalty is way too good for these murderers. I'm really hoping they don't plead insanity and they let them get away with that because I don't believe for one moment that that is their issue. These are sick twisted individuals and they need to get justice served to them.
There is one good thing that comes out of this mess however, that is at least that baby will never be hurt by them again. He knows no more pain, he knows no more neglect, he knows no more hurt by the hands of his so-called parents. He is now with the angels and that is the best thing that could have happened to him. He is away from those psychotic animals. Those sadistic good-for-nothing lower than dirt inhumane arses can't touch him anymore.
I'd like to know why no one suspected this baby was being abused. I do realize that some people are good at hiding it but with what this poor little angel went through I don't see how no on noticed. I really do hope justiced is served. If not here on earth, I know it will be on judgement day.

That's all for now, I can't write any longer, tears and anger are all I can feel now. RIP little Andrew Moyer JR. You can go play with the angels now. You and little Caylee Anthony have something in common, you were both taken too soon.

Ugh! I dislike people who abuse children.

Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away from here.
Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away from here.
Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away from here.

I am so livid right now. Words can't even begin to express the way I'm feeling at this very moment.

Very very angry! Tears. RT @NBCPhiladelphia: Reward offered to find person(s) who set a kitten on fire: http://t.co/h3z9M676y5

Who could be so cruel as to set a little defenseless kitten on fire like that? Bloody bastard! The good news is, the kitten is still alive and is expected to recover but still. That does not excuse what the blank blankity blank blank did. Stupid, rotten, dunderheaded, good-for-nothing, low-life, hateful, spiteful, maggett eating, arse itch infested, Looser arse, pathetic piece of dirt! You are worthless! You are so worthless that you aren't even worth the dirt on the bottom of my shoes. *growl*. I can't even think. So what, did it make you feel like a big man/woman to hurt a poor animal like you did? Did it make you feel good? Did it give you great pleasure to watch the little kitten burn? I hope they find you. I hope they find you and throw you in jail and throw away the key. Then I hope that once you are there, you will get a taste of the horrors and torture you will more than likely endure while there. I hope you live with what you have done for the rest of your days here on earth. I hope that everytime you close your eyes you see that little tortured kitten and that it bothers you to the point of no sleep. I hope your nightmares are filled with kitten screams and that you are haunted till you die. Finally I hope on the day of judgement you will pay for harming one of God's creatures. Lord please forgive me for wishing this upon this cruel person, but I can't stand animal cruelty!

This one as well...

Ugh! People make me sick! RT @CBSNews: Abandoned newborn found crying on Hawaii beach http://t.co/Sm1bKc2qlI

This world is full of stupid people. If the child wasn't wanted, take it to a hospital where they can and will find a good home for it. There are many people who are wanting to have children and can't for one reason or another. Why not let someone adopt it who will love it as if it were their own. Luckily the newborn is doing well and not harmed at all. this makes me wonder if the person who abandoned the baby was a teen girl who didn't know what to do and got scared. Part of me wonders if it was a family who was poor and couldn't take care of the child properly. Either way, if you didn't want the child, take it to a hospital or the police station and they will help with finding it a home or whatever it is they do. No one is going to judge you for not being able to care for the baby and you end up having to give it up. Do it in the proper manner though. Don't leave it abandoned on a beach naked! I don't know, I shakes my head. It's all I can do right now.

IA woman facing charges, accused of falsely claiming to have cancer.... http://fb.me/2BXBvCu7Y

Y'know? Doing something like this is just asking for sister Karma to come and visit your doorstep. If for some reason this woman does end up getting cancer one day, people are not going to care because of her actions. As most of you know if not all, I lost someone very very special to me to that horrid disease and to joke about having it? That just irks me to know end. I loved and still do love Jim with all of my being. Cancer is not a joke you moron! It's serious shite and I hope that you don't end up with it but in the event that you do, well call it karma.

It seems like all I ever read is bad news these days. I read twitter and what do I read? bad news. I turn on the television and what do I see? More bad news. I turn on the radio and what do I hear? Still more bad news. It gets very depressing and I have a hard enough time with depression. I like to stay informed about what's going on in the world but it's getting to the point where I just don't even want to know anymore. just sayin. Whatever happened to the days where things were a lot better in the world than they are now. I'm not saying things were perfect, I know it was far from it actually. There used to be days where you could turn on the TV or turn on the radio and you would hear things, but never to this degree. I miss the days at times when I was a little girl and ignorance was bliss. Sure I always kept my guard up, i always have but things were not as bad then as they are now. Too much killing and war. Too much cruelty to animals and to each other. When will it end? When will the people of the world see that things shouldn't be this way. Maybe i'm crazy to think this way but I strongly believe that people can see what they are doing if they stop to think. If parents wouldn't teach their children to hate, to be racist, to have a closed mind, things would be better off. I could go on forever about this but I won't. All I will say is that it saddens me to my core. My heart hurts, it aches for the world. We are destroying it slowly with our never ending violence and hatred. I can't wait to go home, to be away from all of the troubles of this place. It's not my time now I know but I still can't wait.

On another note...

I found this article interesting. It's worth the read if you are interested.

Change Your Sleep Position relieve pain, acid reflux, snoring and more. http://www.bottomlinepublications.com/content/article/health-a-healing/change-your-sleep-position MT @JohnnyJet @LeoLaporte

The week before last I went to Pet Co and got Ozzy a window seat. I tried to get him a cat tree which basically is a very very tall scratching post that goes from floor to ceiling. There are different levels that the cat can lounge upon. I put catnip on the different levels daily but he wanted no part of it. So, since he wasn't going to have anything to do with this post, I got him a window perch. At first he acted as if this was going to be an epic fail as well but after Deboarh left he decided to give it another chance. Now if I wish to locate him all I have to do is go over to the window perch and there he is, laying there like he hasn't a care in the world. I thought too that he'd see that as his place to sleep now and not my bed but last night he did join me like usual. That made me happy. I like to listen to him purr before i drift off, it's very comforting to have him there. i love my Ozzy cat no doubt about it. No matter how much I complain that he wakes me up too bloody early in the morning, i'm glad to have him in my life. Yes a human companion would be nice but if I don't or can't have that, at least I've got my awesome four-legged feline to keep me company.

I haven't forgotten the long awaited entry. I'm still going to post it but as it stands at the moment, that entry has been put on hold for a bit. I still need to finish writing it. Just as soon as I do, believe me, the world will know. I think my side of things should be heard so it will be posted, this I can promise you.

This past Wednesday, I went to a place called Indigo Organic. That is one of the most peaceful places I have ever been in I think. The reason for my visit was to get my hair cut. No, I didn't cut it short, I just got all of my split ends cut off. My hair looks much healthier now thanks to them. It's amazing! First, they did the trim and then they gave me a head massage with oils. The oils are to help treat your hair. She gave me three different cents to choose from and the one I picked was sort of a sweeter cent. The other ones were a minty one and I don't really know what the third one was, it smelled like household cleaners. Not a good thing to have in my hair, just sayin. During the head/scalp massage I almost fell asleep. Any more time spent on that I do believe i would have . AS it was, I started drifting off. I couldn't help it, it felt so wonderful. I could so get used to that. The stylest who's name was Heidi then washed my hair and put some treatment stuff in it. That stuff smelled minty. The treatment had to stay in for about five minutes. After the time was up, she conditioned it and put some leave-in stuff in it. It made my hair very soft and shiney. She then styled it putting these huge curls in it. Everyone who saw it loved it. I was wishing I had had somewhere else to go after I was done there. Everything Heidi used was organic. It was amazing and I have made the decision to go there for my hair cuts all the time now. They are a little bit more expensive then what I normally do but they are well worth it.

Something exciting has happened yesterday!

Cheers loudly! RT @lgbtqnation: BREAKING: Minn. to become 12th state to legalize same-sex marriage - http://t.co/khcw4MoL8M

While at work yesterday, I was able to listen to part of the senate meeting. A lot of what was brought up was the religious factor in this arguement for same-sex marriages. Now, I think that everyone has his or her own beliefs and whether or not same-sex marriages are legalized does not affect the way you believe. Ok, I totally get that now you have the moral dilemma to provide services to same-sex couples but here's how I think. The reason that you think it's wrong is because it is what you are taught. We can't help who we fall in love with, it's just part of who we are. We aren't trying to convert you to be gay or lesbian or bisexual. All we'd like is understanding. Yes we may think a straight person is cute or whatever but knowing you are straight, we aren't going to hit on you. *smiles*. I know in the Bible it does say that marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman but what about those of us who aren't into the opposite sex? Do we not have the right to be happy as well? God loves all of his children and I can't imagine that he'd condemn us to a life of hell just because we choose to be with the same sex. We don't choose to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual. We don't wake up one morning and go, "oh hey, I think I'll be attracted to the same sex today." No, we are born this way. It's like how you who are straight can't help being straight. It's in your makeup. We accept you, now please show us the same courtesy of accepting who we are.
I am very happy that Minnesota became the twelth state to legalize gay marriage. Yay!

Well, i have made this long enough. I will leave you now with these final words.

Mischief managed.

Good eveing to all.

I'd just like to wish you and yours a very Merry Xmas if you celebrate it.
This Xmas eve was a pretty good one. Mike and i were invited to go over to Flint's parents house to celebrate with them. We had some pretty good food which was enjoyed by all. We had stuffing, potatoes, corn, sandwiches which consisted of either chicken or turkey, or in the case of Flint's father bar-b-q pork, and wine if we wanted it. I didn't take any wine because I wasn't sure what kind it was and I really wasn't in the mood for alcohol tonight. There was also dessert but we were all so full from the dinner that none of us had any of it.
After dinner, it was time to open presents. I really didn't expect his parents to get anything for myself or Mike but they did. Mike got a book which I can't remember the title of and some candy, and I got a pair of slippers and some candy. I was happy because i needed new slippers. The slippers are purple with Xmas ornaments on them. I don't mind this, I will wear them till I can't anymore, they are nice and warm. In fact I have them on now. LOL! The candy both Mike and I got was Andy Mints. I love those things! They are one of my favorite candies. There is just something about chocolate and mint together, it rules.
Ozzy even got a present from Caitlin and Satin, they are Flint's paretns cats. I thought that was soooo cute. They got him a can of his favorite catfood, Fancy Feast chicken and gravy.
All in all, it was a cool Xmas eve. The best part of all? The tenseness from Thanksgiving wasn't there.

My family from how i understand it did not get together this year. With everything that went on with my uncle Marty being sick with cancer and then passing away, my mother just wasn't ready. I totally understand this. I too lost someone to cancer in 2004 but most of you know this. The last time i talked to her on the phone she was going to go and visit Chris and Mike separately to deliver gifts and then go spend Xmas eve with my grandmother. She said she was going to go spend Xmas day with my Grandmother as well. I will be calling everyone to say Merry Xmas in the morning.
As for myself and the other two nuts that live in this house, we are going to have Xmas dinner at McDonalds. We thought that would just be so funny. Oh how easily amused we are. They are apparently going to go work on the house in the morning and then we shall go after.

Just a random, I wish to be in Ireland.

To my family,

I missed you all this year and hope that as soon as we can we can pick a weekend to get together and catch up on things and I can give gifts to the nieces and nephew. I love you all.

To the rest of you reading this, I hope tomorrow is a happy Xmas for you and that good times are had by all with families and loved ones.

Until next time...
<3Love and hugs<3

i just wanted to write and say a very happy Thanksgiving to you all. For now, I'm too emotionally drained to write a more up-to-date entry, so for now that's all I wish to say.

Hey all and welcome to fall!

It's time for crisp cool mornings and nights, falling leavs, the leaves changing color, pumpkins, hot apple cyder, bonfires, the autumn smells and halloween and in my case Samhain! I love fall!

Just a bit of a fun quiz before i get into the article.

You're Totally Sarcastic

You sarcastic? Never! You're as sweet as a baby bunny. Seriously, though, you have a sharp tongue - and you aren't afraid to use it. And if people are too wimpy to deal with your attitude, then too bad. So sad.

And this should surprise anyone why? I wasn't given the nick The queen of sarcasm for nothing. :P.

Ok, I'm not against christians at all, I in fact have a few friends that are christian and they are just as nice as can be. i just wanted to get that out there before someone came back and left nasty comments at me.

This article was taken from http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/books/harry-potter-banned-by-christian-school-20120824-24q7i.html

I'll give my comments after the article.

Harry Potter banned by Christian school

DateAugust 24, 2012

Alison Branley

Medowie Christian School has defended a decision to ban witches and warlocks from its annual book week parade and the Harry Potter series from the school library.

The school was one of many in the Hunter Valley that marked Book Week this week by asking children to dress up as their favourite book character for a parade.

Frankly, we do not want any of our younger students or their siblings feeling frightened, intimidated or uncomfortable during any school activities.

Principal Samantha Van de Mortel asked parents not to send children to school on Wednesday as witches and warlocks because it was inconsistent with school values.

She said it was a standing policy because the school felt it was not in line with its Christian ethos.

"We just don't believe that's something we want to promote. We promote a Christian focus," Ms Van de Mortel said.

She said the parade was a primary school event that was also open to students' younger siblings and they were concerned many retail costumes were quite gruesome.

"Frankly, we do not want any of our younger students or their siblings feeling frightened, intimidated or uncomfortable during any school activities," she said.

While witches, warlocks and Harry Potter characters were out at the Medowie school, the characters allowed in the parade included Anakin Skywalker, The Mad Hatter and the Gingerbread Man.

Ms Van de Mortel said the Harry Potter series, which is about witches and wizards, was not available in the school library because it had been the subject of many international debates.

It topped the list as the 10 Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century by the American Library Association.

"Medowie Christian School respects the right of parents to make decisions on whether or not to allow/encourage their child to read material," Ms Van de Mortel said.

"In respecting that right [we] do not stock books from the Harry Potter Series, or indeed other titles, which are the subject of polarising public discussion."

Medowie mother Bobbie Antonic, whose children do not attend the school, raised the issue on social networking site Twitter and said she was concerned it was censorship.

"I was just blown away by it. It's just bizarre," she said.
"Books are not reality."

Medowie Christian School Parents and Friends Association manager Lisa Taylor said from a parent's point of view the prohibition was "no big deal".

"In the lead up to Halloween the shops are full of so many grotesque, frightening costumes and I've got two little boys," she said. "It's supposed to be a celebration of literature."

She said parents were happy the school library did not send students home with books that could force a topic up for discussion.

"I would like to be able to make that choice for my own kids," Ms Taylor said.

End of article.

Would someone please enlighten me as to how a boy dressed in robes and a pointy wizard's hat looks scary? Or how does a girl dawning a robe and a witches pointy hat makes a child want to run away from her in terror? I can understand if they use green makeup or making a wizard or witch look ugly, but normal wizarding robes along with a black pointed hat is *not* frightening at all.
This is what the witches and wizards in the Harry Potter series look like. Just kids dressed in black robes and hats along with their house colors. Green ties for Slytherin, red for Gryffindor, blue for Raven claw and yellow for huffle puff. Then we have Professor Dumbledore who is a bit eccentric and dresses colorful but there again, still *not* scary looking. In fact he reminds me of Santa Claus. Are people going to say that a fat jolly old manthat dresses in red and white with a long white beard and hair is scary looking too?
The only way I can see a witch or wizard looking scary is if they dress as death eaters or Lord Voldemort who frightens me. Not because I find himn scary looking, but he's just plain ugly. Just sayin. I suppose Severus Snape could be considered scary looking as well, we won't go there...back on the the topic at hand... To a child I can see that being scary.
Dressing as Harry Potter himself however, not scary in the least. He's just a plain boy dressed in robes and a pointed hat with his house colors and a pair of glasses that look horrid, poor Harry and he rides a broom. Black messy hair and vivid green eyes, the color of emeralds. Does this sound freaky to you? No, I think not.

The problem with a lot of parents these days, and don't get upset because i'm not saying all parents is that they don't take the time to explain the difference between fantasy and reality. It is the responsibility of the parent to teach their children this, not schools and certainly not society. Yes they are going to read books, yes they are going to watch movies and yes they are going to learn things from their friends but it is then a parents job to teach the child right from wrong. Yes the parent has the right to tell their child yes you can read this book or no you can't read this book. If something goes against their beliefs then by all means don't let the child read the book. This brings me to my next point...
What happens to those who don't have the same beliefs? So we now have the issue of putting one persons beliefs over anothers. That's not right either. So it has come down to passifying one group but then pissing off another group. I believe that all beliefs should be taken into account, not just one group. It's not the schools right to take away someone elses beliefs just because they don't think it's right. I think that it's sad it has come to that.
IN closing, Yes there are parts of The Harry Potter series that are totally frightening, i don't disagree with that at all. I do agree with the school not wanint to frighten little children but what I disagree with is them taking the right away from the parents/children to express themself how they wish. As i said, the wizards/witches in the HP series are not scary looking at all with the acception of Voldie and the death munchers. Did anyone notice that they didn't say anything about the kids coming dressed up as vampires? Just sayin.

When I see things like that article it makes me angry. I don't believe they should ban Harry Potter, personally i think the reason they did is because they are afraid of the unknown. It doesn't go along with the christian values. Everyone knows that what goes on in the books isn't real. Being a wiccan I face the same things. No, we don't fly on brooms, no we don't have the ability to transfigure anyone into other things, we don't worship satan or any other thing that people are misguided about. WE do believe in magic but it's natural earth magic. I'll explain that some other time. This isn't really a discussion about wicca and it shouldn't have been brought up probably but I get worked up at times. My point was though that I believe that's why they banned the book. They associate it with witchcraft and they are misinformed about a lot of things.
Final question. Since when is it ok to take a child's right to imagination away? Think on that.

With that I leave you now. Being sick is not any kind of fun. Until next time...

<3hugs and love to all<3.

To my readers.

I have tried very hard to keep my anger out of the public eye but I can no longer do it. I made a promise to myself that I would not write about anything that makes me angry but I should have never made that promise because I should have known that I wouldn't be able to keep it. This is my journal and if you don't wish to read this entry I'd advise you to stop now. I'm not a very happy lily. Now having said this, entry continues.

Can someone tell me how the hell someone can doubt the validity of your husband dieing? I saw how it happened! You weren't there, you weren't by his bedside! I was! I watched in sadness as he took off his oxygen mask because he had decided that he was to tired to fight any longer! I held his hand as he passed! I was with him as he took his last breaths! I saw it happen! You weren't there! I'd never take a cheap shot like that against you with your mother dieing! What you said was about as bad as a friend of mine's roommate saying that I was probably half responsible for jim's death because i"m wiccan. You have hurt me deeply and for now I can honestly say I can not ever forgive you for this one. Any secrets you may have told me I will still keep with me till the day i die, why? The answer is simple, I'm not the type of person to go revealing things when asked not to no matter how i'm treated by someone. I'm done! Have a nice life! No love, Lily.

Rant over reguarding this, no more really needs to be said.

I can't believe that someone would stoop this low. Yes i have made some big huge mistakes in my past that have come to light and have admitted my wrongs. If people would/could leave my past where it belongs...but oh no...I'm the big bad person now because of my past mistakes. My mistakes happend years ago and why they can't stay in the past is beyond me. To said person who decided to bring up my past again? You are not innocent! I know things that could damage your reputation. I won't but just know that i could. I'm not the same person I was back then. I have grown up a lot and have changed since then.

I have not revealed names here because the persons responsible for this rant are not important, they know who they are. I know they will read this probably and think of all sorts of nasty things to say and that's ok. Let's just say though, I know who my true friends really are.

I'm sorry if you think this entry is/was dramatic but even i need to rant at times. i can't be the happy person I'm always expected to be. I've got feelings too afterall.

I do not wish harm on either one of these two persons either. I truely hope they are happy and that they won't find the need to hurt others just because of their lives being messed up or things aren't going the way they are supposed to for them.
To those who choose to remain friends with me after reading this, thank you. You don't know how much you mean to me. i treasure you all and will continue to do so. To those who choose to judge and talk behind my back, I wish you nothing but happiness in your endeavors.

Untill next time, hopefully it will be a much happier entry.

<3Hugs and love<3

These are the lyrics to the song that was played at mine and Jim's wedding. I've been thinking about him a lot lately. It could be because his birthday is coming up. If he were still with us, he'd be turning 30. It's so hard to think that he has bene gone for almost 8 years. I still mis him horribly. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. Today is the anniversary of when he and i got together, we would have been together a total of 12 years if he were here. Wow, that just makes me think about life. So many things have happened over the years since Jim's death, it's hard to imagine it. Anyway, the song lyrics...

This is a song by John Denbver called For Baby (For Bobbie). The hospital chapplin picked it and she sang it for us while playing her guitar. It was beautiful, she had a very pretty voice. It wasn't the song we had chosen but it worked nicely.,

I’ll walk in the rain by your side
I’ll cling to the warmth of your (TINY) hand
I’ll do anything to keep you satisfied
I’ll love you more than anybody can

And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

I’ll be there when you’re feelin’ down
To kiss away the tears if you cry
I’ll share with you all the happiness I’ve found
A reflection of the love in your eyes

And I’ll sing you the songs of the rainbow
A whisper of the joy that is mine
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

I’ll walk in the rain by your side
I’ll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I’ll do anything to help you understand
And I’ll love you more than anybody can

And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

I love that song, it's just a bit harder to listen to now...

Last night I saw him in my dreams. It had been forever since i last saw him in a dream. In the dream he was sick and in the hospital. I wish I could remenber everything about the dream but I can't. What i do remember is his voice, the sound was still the same, he also looked the same. I have pictures of him, I can't see them anymore but I have them still. Those are times/years I will never forget. He was definitely one of a kind.

Well eating dinner so I'll end this for now.

<3Hugs and stuff<3

To a couple of the Land To Air Drivers...

Don't judge me unless you know me. Don't underestimate me unless you've challenged me. Don't talk about me unless you've talked to me.
I'd appreciate it grately, thanks.
Unless you have watched me in action or have asked me questions about what I'm actually capable of, don't say things when yu have no idea what you are talking about. you have irritated me beyond belief and right now I don't know whether to cry or scream. Both I think. I may hnot be like you but I'm sure as hell not stupid, blind, but far from being stupid.
Don't ever talk down to me, I absolutely hate when others talk down to me as if I were a small child. You are lucky I don't go to Jason with this, and do you want to know why I won't go to Jason with this? Because i don't want to seem as if I am starting trouble however, if you ever treat me like you did today, I will go to him. The next time yu need tickets printed out, do it yourself. I'm only good enough to talk to when you need something. It's Lily, i need a ticket printed out. Lily, we need schedules printed out to go up to the airport. Lily, this passenger wants to buy a Grey Hound ticket, can you help him/her with it? Learn to do it yourself. I work here yes but I am not your bloody slave.

No love, Lily

I'd like to apologize for the above rant. That rant was about something that happened at work the week before last and it irritated me beyond words. Let's just say a certain couple of drivers got under my skin and i should have never allowed it to get me as angry as it did. But you all know how it goes, when you need to get something off your chest, you write about it or tell the person off that made you so upset. I prefer to write as it doesn't cause trouble. The person will never read this so i'm not worried in the least. I must admit i feel a bit better having gotten it all out though.

This next part came from something that really happened at work. Jason and I were in tears almost laughing at poor Terry's plight. This story took place about three weeks ago I do believe. I would have written about it sooner but I totally forgot about it until I came across this document. This comes from an e-mail that Jason wrote too all of the Land To Air staff...

Begin story...

Today, Lily and I are going crazy on phones, as well as getting payroll done – so we needed a laugh.

Preston and Terry went out to van for charter and I heard Preston yell something about a pigeon, then Terry came in and said “do you know how much fun it is to catch a pigeon. Apparently, a pigeon boarded the van and was chased for several minutes before the driver caught the pigeon and released it. We are considering shooting The Birds – Mankato. Beware of the crazed pigeons.

Jason

At Land to Air Express we have acquired a family/school/gaggle/flock of Pigeons.

Two days ago, when in the front office, Lily exclaimed “what did he just say?” (there were two drivers out in front getting the shuttles ready for a private charter).

Lily continues “I think that he said he had to catch a pigeon”.

I laughed it off and shook my head. Of course she had misheard…or HAD SHE?

Then, moments later Terry, one of the drivers comes in and says “do you know how much fun it is to catch a pigeon?” Terry continued to tell us how he chased the pigeon around the inside of the shuttle, finally caught it and threw it out the door (there were feathers to prove it – but I was laughing to hard to take a picture).

Today – he added to the story (Lily and I are a little teary eyed in a good way)

“Man, I was getting ready for the charter, sat down in the drivers seat did my paperwork, started the van, looked in the rear view mirror, and a pigeon was sitting on the seat rest behind me staring at me.”

Need to interrupt and tell you if this was me, I would have evacuated the vehicle and probably jumped into traffic.

Continued . . .

“…the partner pigeon was sitting on the sidewalk staring into the open doorway.”

This is a true story! You all know that I am a story teller, but hand raised ..this is serious. How much do we charge a pigeon!?

Jason

As you know, we have a family of pigeons living amongst us as LTA.

In order to make them welcome, we have named them and Lily wanted me to let you know - their names are:

Patty, Pete & Polly Pigeon

Patty is a bit territorial – so it is best not to look her in the eye, if she flies at you – bark like a dog or screech like an Eagle – she’ll fly away. Pay no attention to the cameras, we will not put this on America’s Funniest Home videos.

Enjoy your day.
Jason

PS Do not feed them – they didn’t pay for meals.

End story...

I was the one who named Patty and Pete Pigeon, Jason named Polly. Yeah i know we at Land To Air are a bit strange but we do have fun and love to laugh on a daily basis. I couldn't have picked a better place to do my internship. I couldn't have asked for a better boss.

It has been a bvery very hot and long week. Our temps were in the high nineties with heat indecies in the hundreds. This is not noral for minnesota and yet it was so. Yesterday the AC at work decided it had had enough of working and quit on us making the office almost unbearable. The poor passengers kept commenting on how hot it was and I felt bad because there was nothing we could do. Barb left a note for Jason but he won't get it until tomorrow I'm thinking that is if he goes in. Jason was in Jamaica all last week and was supposed to return last night. I did text him today and he asked me if I would keep the phones for one more night so I said sure. I'm so extremely tired and I think that when I give the phones back, I'm going to sleep for some time to come. LOL! Either that or I may have a few Long Island ice teas. No, I need to work Monday, although Mike says I should ask for it off. I'm tempted, believe me I'm tempted.

I have gotten back into watching WWE, RAW is awesome! I'm not sure if i can get back into watching Smackdown but I'm amused by RAW. I like John Cena, he's probably my favorite on there right now. CM Punk's cool too. AJ amuses me, she is one of the Divas on RAW. Vickie Garero annoys me to know end with her "excuse me" thing. She makes me want to go through the Screen and lay the smackdown on her candy ass. :P. It's been so long since i have watched it, I used to watch it religiously, now I don't know many on there but i know a few who are still on there. My absolute favorite guy is no longer there, Stone Cold Steve Austin. That man rocked my socks. Hahaha!

Well, this is certainly long enough so I will post it and maybe go try to catch a few zees. We'll see. I need to write about something but right now I'm to drained to do so. I know that when I do my emotions will run high and I don't wish to feel emotionally drained as well as physically drained right now.

I'll write again soon...
<3All my love<3
