The Walmart sub culture

Today my sister sent me a link:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/1/26/204926/141/205/689339

She sent it to me because I work for Walmart. I work in the fabric and craft department. I hate working for Walmart, I have not been able to put my finger on why, but I do.

I have worked for the last 20 some years in retail management and more recently as an executive assistant for a promotional company. However, with our recent move from NY to TN and the loss of so many… Continue

Same Scene, Different Actors, Different Act

Supposedly today is blog about New Orleans Theatre Day. Well, here are some of my thoughts....yes, an actual blog instead of a survey.

I've always been one to live more of a slightly fantasized, dramatic life. I've never wanted life any other way. I did my first "play" in kindergarten. Sort of. I say sort of because I was the "director" and an "actor:" in the "play". I remember asking my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Marsha, if she'd let us do a play for her. She said yes. It wasn't… Continue

Bloody Monday

In one day, 65000 jobs evaporated on this planet. In ONE day. Hell, when Harley Davidson loses 1000 jobs, it's pretty much the apocalypse.

I am thankful to still be working. My list of complaints with what I do and how I do it have fallen away again, even though I know those will rear their ugly heads at some future point.

I figured it was so bad that with my own personal financial sludge pile, the economy, a bad and worsening shoulder, and global weirdness, I just… Continue

So Yeah.............

Have you ever had the feeling that you want to tell someone something but you can't because it would be totally inappropriate, But if you don't it would be like you missed the chance to make an awesome change in your life.

Its said that a guy and a girl can not be friends with each other and im sort of understanding that concept which is really bugging me. What if the attraction is only one way and by me being around it hurts this person what the hell am i suppose to do.

I… Continue

Know Thy Neighbor

As I watch videos online there are many times when I say to myself "Man, I wish that (insert vlogger name here) was my neighbor." There are so many people that I watch that I think are so smart, so funny, so thoughtful, or so artistic, that wouldn't it be great if they lived on my street and we could hang out and really get to know each other. But the truth is, if they were my neighbor, we would probably just see each other occasionally as we put out the trash cans or mow the lawn. We would say… Continue

Loneliness is an awful price to pay

In recent weeks, because of my own journey, I have begun to research the reasons behind loneliness. What I found out surprised me. I actually blogged about it last week but I took it down after a comment was left that hurt my feelings. This, in and of itself, proved to me how sensitive a subject this was for me.

I grew up in a family of 7, I had 2 brothers and 2 sisters (although my youngest sister was not born until I was 15). You would think that I was never lonely, but I was… Continue

I KNEW ONE DAY IT WILL COME..

The dreadful day had come..

Now www.livevideo.com is a complete BLOCKED site here in Dubai and the entirety of United Arab Emirates..

maybe our internet provider had had ENOUGH of the PORN in this site.

November of last year, they started to FILTER it, you cannot watch videos anymore...

It was like I was punched on the face leaving a blackeye..then bruises and soreness healed, I adjusted. I found ways so I can watch vids in there, ignoring what was on the live chats. but was… Continue

An update on my "Happy Therapy"

It has been approx 4 days since I last blogged about my intention to live in laughter, I have since dubbed this my "Happy Therapy". I would like to share with you my observations from the last few days but before I go there, I should explain some other things also.

after my "laughter in the rain blog" I blogged about loneliness. It was, in my humble opinion a pretty good blog. "Why don't you see it?" you may ask, well, someone left a "not nice" comment on it and I let it bother me… Continue

Write or wrong?

It's no fun reading about people's pain. Contrary to the belief of some, it's even LESS fun writing about ones' own pain. If anyone thinks I, or most people, would rather get attention from their pain than from ANY other human attribute, that person needs far more help than I do. Also, I am not apologizing for anything I write about. If someone doesn't like it, no one's forcing them to read it.

As far as what I achieve, even flat on my back, I have elicited the help of a Senator, who… Continue

FHP, and The Easiest Recognizable Social Divide

Last July on LV, Flophousepoodle posted a video called Failure Smorgasbord. Someone left her the following comment: “U need a dental job.”

At the time I cringed when I read that comment, being as I feel great affection for FHP, and I wondered how she would react when she read it. How do you react to a comment that’s intended to hurt? She gave one of the best comebacks I’ve ever read because it was full of humor and grace and humility while underscoring the meanness of the… Continue

Permission

Hi Friends!
So much is happening, 80% good!

Will share more when I figure it out.
In the meantime,
please leave a comment here to give me permission to paint your profile pic for the show.
Thanks!

RE: FHP's Question: What are your reasons for leaving your LV Channel Up?

As I was typing my lengthy comment justifying the reasons why I kept my channel open on the now porn-infested LV, I realized that there is no justification. I'm not an artist or anything like that; however, my channel contains mostly family videos and prominently features my children.

All of the reasons people are giving for keeping their channels open are absolutely valid and I agree with many of them. But truth be told, I never really got over the group sex scene that greeted my… Continue

Need help

So customers are driving us crazy with ordering while on their cell phones. Rather than being polite and hanging up when they reach the register (or asking the person on the phone to hold while they place their order) they either ask the cashier to wait while the line reaches out the door or silently mouth their order. When we repeat it back they nod their heads yes and then get irritated when it comes out wrong. Is that our fault?

So I need to come up with phrasing for a sign to put… Continue

One day..

for stem cell research, I wake up to: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=6714423&page=1

"FDA APPROVES STEM CELL STUDY FOR SPINAL INJURIES"

I thought I was dreaming. You see..I have a spinal cord injury, (dx'd as Transverse Myelitis, without going into great detail). I haven't had a day without pain and numbness since 1988, that's 20+ years. I still may not live to see a treatment come… Continue
