Update on the Pool and Who's Lady Ga-Le-Gi?

OK my dears please allow me to rant for a few minutes then I will be happy to catch up on what's going on around here!
First of all I would love to meet a certain Sen.Steele!  Apparently he is so out of touch with reality that he has forgotten how long the U.S. has been in Afghanistan.  He now has declared it is Obama's fault we are there!  How stupid does he really believe the majority of the American people are?  I mean come on even a first grader knows Obama has only been in office for 2 years and we have been in Afghanistan for the last 9 years!  Really some people!  And then I heard another dumb rumor that Obama had said he was tired of the US being first all the time.  No that's not what he said!  See how rumors get started?  He said he was tired (as I am sure the rest of us are) of every time something goes wrong in this world the US has to be the FIRST to hand out money and assistance.  He said and I quote "Let some of these other countries be first for a change."  I agree.  Do you?
Now on for the second thing I have to rant about tonight!  I have spent the last 11 hours getting rid of some jackasses idea of "fun".  Well finally it is over!  So let this be a lesson to all!  AV Anti Virus Protection is really Mal ware!  and you need Old Timers Log to get rid of it along with my witch doctor instructions and a lot of luck.  I think....
Any who it's over I won and I'm happy!!!  So on to what's going on around here.....  We drained the pool once again and have decided to level out the ground.  Something we probably should have done first but for some unknown reason (hard headed) didn't want to give in and do it. So as I speak to you the Hubs and I have leveled half of the area and we only have 3inches of leveling on an incline left to do.  Hope that made sense.... Any who we almost got it!
Got lots of relatives coming this week!  So I have been cleaning up getting ready for the onslaught of beach goers!  I hope they understand just because they are on vacation doesn't mean we are too!  And another thing while you are here please be kind to our environment, if the oil spill doesn't stop our environment may be the only sea your grandchildren will have to enjoy!
OK OK I'm done with my soap box!  lol  So now on to a more sober thought.  My dear friend is in DC today burying her soul mate.  Although they were married not quite 5 years they were clearly soul mates forever.  She is so young to be a widow so don't call her one!  She hates that word.  Widow it does sound so final.  Like the door is shut and sealed forever and she can no longer come out into the world.  He left behind 2 darling babies for her to raise alone.  I know he is with her every day although she cannot see him he is with her now right by her side.  I told her it was OK for her to talk to him everyday if she wanted.  Hell I talk to my dead relatives everyday.  I talk to Greg too.  I still see him sometimes just as he was the last time we were happy together. I'm sure she still sees her husband too.  So today a piece of my heart is with her.  I hope you say a prayer for her too.
I was talking with a friend on my face book acct yesterday and I noticed she had spotted a black snake in her pool.  Well if you know this lady you would know she is funny without having said a word!  Can you imagine the dance she did when she tried to pick up the "stick"?  Needless to say half of our side of the state of NC peed on themselves with laughter!  She has been dying for a nickname so I gave her the nickname of Lady Ga-Le-Gi.   Ga-le-gi is the Cherokee word for black snake in case you were wondering.  Kinda fits her don't you think?  Needless to say I think she liked it, she thinks it sounds like Lady Gaga kinda.....I can hardly wait to see Lady Ga-Le-Gi's profile pic, that is if she makes one, should be interesting.....
Just finished reading a fantastic book everyone should read, however I must warn you it will hurt your heart and set your mind on fire!  It's called Cape Fear Rising by Philip Gerard.  It's a work of fiction loosely based on the 1898 Massacre that took place in Wilmington, NC.  I strongly suggest every history major, teacher and buff read this book.  If you have ever lived in Wilmington or live in Wilmington now, read this book!  I can hardly wait til cooler weather so I can walk the streets of Wilmington and see the places mentioned in that book.  Not to spoil the book but everyone knows Wilmington never really recovered from this tragic episode in her history. 
Well I've got to go back out and work on my P.I.T.A. again!  Have a great day and I catch up with you again later but for now, this is the way I see it!
