Lucky People ...
You know the ones I'm talking about? The ones who have EVERYTHING they could ever want, or at least they seem to. But my question is; Are they really happy? I think they are. Those sadistic bastards laugh at everyone else why they rake in the dough with very little effort. I hate them.

Being Grrl.
P&G has become about $4 richer, tonight. (unfortunately)
Long story short; I found myself in a situation where I absolutely COULD NOT get out of my car at 1:00am, on the way home from work. Thank goodness for 24 hour CVS pharmacies with drive up windows!
I was in a bad state and the only thing I could think of was to go to the CVS's window and ask the pharmacy tech for some supplies. As I pulled up, I noticed the only person on duty was a man. Too bashful to yell out "I NEED MAXI PADS!" in the dead of night, I wrote a note on the back of a fast food bag. It read "Please help! I need maxi pads and I can't get out of my car! :(" (I made the frowny face as pitiful as I possibly could)
The guy looked at the note, looked at me, looked back at the note, looked back at me; the whole time, I'm giving him the best pitiful doe-eyed look I could muster. I could see the sweat on his brow as the gears turned in his head, as if he was thinking "What the HELL do I get her?!" He gave me a sheepish grin and disappeared. Five minutes later, he came back with a pack of Always over night pads (with wings). Not exactly what I had in mind, but at that point, I didn't care. I thanked him, paid him and sped off into the dark night with my spoils. I can only imagine the stories he's telling. Maybe he'll blog about it...
I am happy to report that "Have a happy period" is written NOWHERE on this package or the pads, that I can find. I can't stop laughing about the whole thing.

The BLM SUCKS big horse cock!
Yes, it's a very strong title, but that is exactly how I feel about the agency that is SUPPOSED to be protecting and managing our wild mustangs. YOURS and MINE. The mustangs belong to the citizens of the United States of America.
It has come to my attention that the BLM has been considering MURDERING thousands of mustangs they currently hold hostage in long-term facilities to "balance" their budget. These are wild horses that were forcefully evicted from their wild homes and torn apart from their families and friends. Yes, horses have complex relationships with each other as seen in this PBS documentary: Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies
The BLM is also going to round up YET MORE mustangs from public lands, this year. For more detailed information, please visit The Cloud Foundation's Website.
Already, I have signed the petition and written to everybody listed on The Cloud Foundation's website that would have anything to do with this issue.
Unfortunately, I discovered this only 2 days ago. I wish I would have seen it sooner. You can EMAIL the BLM and thell them what you think. Here is my most recent letter to the BLM, submitted on their feedback page:
Although there has already been a rather strongly worded letter from two congressmen to the BLM, we need to keep at them!

I have already emailed some BLM people about this. But, I wanted to make my stance on the issue of euthanizing THOUSANDS of MY wild horses. Yes, I said MY wild horses because they belong to ALL the people of the United States of America. Your proposal to massacre one of our nation's icons of FREEDOM is very UN-PATRIOTIC.
What is your REAL objective, to get rid of ALL wild mustangs? Your roundups are inhumane as it is. Driving the horses MILES AND MILES to an uncertain fate. I saw the documentary where a very young foal, nicknamed "Flint," was driven in a roundup with his band. That foot injury was the fault of the BLM.
What does the BLM have to gain from persecuting the animals you are supposed to be protecting? Cattle grazing? Sheep grazing? Oil? What? I guess it would be to "balance your budget."
Instead of MURDERING thousands of MY mustangs, let them go free in the lands that were set aside for them in the first place. You wouldn't have to feed them, would you? Nature has a way of managing herself, and if that means the horses die at the hands of nature, so be it. At least they would die proud and free, and not at the business end of a rifle.
LEAVE THE MUSTANGS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!

Staying in touch ...
We should all do it. It's taken me this long to be able to write about this.
The Friday before Memorial Day, I stumbled across a posting on Tribe.net regarding a man I considered a friend. The posting was about his death, the day before my birthday, last year. I had not known and I was absolutely crushed. For me, it was like it had just happened, only there would be no closure for me.
I only wish I had stayed in contact with people so I could have at least gone to his memorial service, as he died and was buried out of country.
Do what you can to stay in touch with the people you care about. You never know.
