I don't know if I can do this

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

Suicidal ideations, under extreme stress, are normal to my brain chemistry, thanks to probably brain injury and PTSD.

I am surrounded by, at best, indifference and, at worst, contempt, hostility and cruelty.

I have no close friends or family.

I have 3 weeks to clear out this apt. and move to Ft. Sumner.

Br has gone back on everything to which she had agreed and I can't trust her.

I don't know why she wanted me to move to her place. I think she wanted a hostage to orbit around her constant chaos, upset and rage.

She won't let me rent office space, as SHE offered, months ago. Therefore, I won't be able to do radio for months, until I can save up enough for an office.

I can't do my independent producer's grant ($900) project; I won't have access to telephone or internet until I can afford an office.

Most of my things, and my chikens, ducks and goats, are down there already.

I'm bringing the 2nd to last load down on sept. 3 or 4. The last load is being stored in the next door neighbor's yard until I return to Albq. in Oct for a dr's appt.

Severe thunderstorms & flash flood watches were all over the Ft. Sumner area. The next town east clocked a wind gust at above-hurricane velocity.

My animals are trapped in a small pen, without enough shelter or protection from flash flooding. Br has NOT been giving Willy his medicine, as she'd volunteered.

With wind like that, I don't even know if the trailer is still standing.

My power tools "disappeared" between my 1st & 2nd trips down there. Br claims she has no idea what's happened to them.

I am not wanted nor welcomed anywhere.

Rachel calls me a liar, manipulator, cheat and "mentally ill." She steps on my belongings, drops and breaks them. I told her to leave last time she was here, because she was being rude and abusive. She FORCED her way back into the house and refused to leave until I finished washing her clothes.

Paul has been considerate and supportive. He advaned me some funds for the move; I'm to transcribe some of his old radio broadcasts for his website.

Mostly, I'm alone all day, surrounded by the chaos of moving. I wake, before dawn, to drudgery and not enough food. I work until I'm too tired and try to sleep mid day, as the neighbor's dog SCREAMS for hours and telemarketers call, asking for Rachel. I tell them she beat me in the head last xmas and moved out. I don't know why they're calling MY phone number, asking for her.

Cruelty.

I can't tell my therapist I'm suicidal, or she'll have me committed.

So, on top of all the other filth, evil and garbage I must deal with, I have to TRY to fight constant ideas o suicide, all alone, with no support. I can't tell anybody.

Judith sent $35 for my birthday. I bought some dog food today. I'm hoarding the rest, as Br racked up a big long distance bill for me last month, calling my 800 # sometimes 6 times a day, looking for her drunken husband.

I agreed to pick him up at the bus station at 3 am one night before I drove down there last time. He was supposed to help me pack for a few days & drive down with me so Br could take him to rehab in Clovis.

He came in the day we were to leave from an AA club house and announced he got a ride to Clovis and was leaving right then.

I said, but you promised to help me pack.

He said, I'm not losing Br, and walked out.

So, he ate about $25 in food, smoked about 5 packs of my cigarettes, misplaced my hairbrush & comb and left his filthy clothes and shoes here -- I threw them out.

He didn't thank me. He just left.

I finished packing myself.

3 hrs. later, Br called and said, I don't think you should move down here......

I know she was mad because Zack left.

I said, what should I have done? Nailed his feet to the floor?

Every dime i had is wrapped up in the move; the truck was full; my animals were already down there & I couldn't get them; I had no money to rent storage or pay rent and deposit on a new apartment up here, cuz I'd spent it on gas to go there.

I talked her down, but she's been worse and worse, ever since: Accusing me of things I didn't do, getting mad at me for doing things SHE had suggested, painting me into corners and scaring the hell out of me.

I am NOT looking forward to moving down there. I'm not wanted.

She must've talked shit about me to her mom, in the car with the girls. Amanda got mad at me -- sweet, gentle, tolerant Amanda. She said I should go back to albq., that I'd taken her dad's things out of that filthy trailer. I'd had to clean the whole thing, before I could evn unpack the truck. It was FILTH. The refrigerator even had food in it that had been rotting for YEARS.

Nobody would care if I died on the side of the road. If I break down, I'll have no cell phone & no one to call, anyway. What would happen to my animals, my writing?

Death stalk me, with a diagnois of emphysema. Think I'm going to try to quit smoking right now, you're nuts.

I'm trapped. I'm running out of food, toilet paper, gas. I won't spend any more money until the end of the month bills clear. I'm havig to take handouts.

I don't want to live like that again. After 14 yrs. in the War zone, after spending my young adult hood and most of my life dumpster diving, shop lifting, going to food pantries..... I can't do it anymore.

I'm a loser. Nobody wants me. My life is a pile of shit.

What's the damned point?

THAT's what's in my head, all the time, as I struggle to pack the truck and clean out the apartment.

For what?

HOW TO MAKE A PAPER CRANE

If you are on Facebook, please join up with the newly-formed group called "Thoughts&Prayers--Knoxville UU" (now over 1200 members) and write your condolences on their wall. They are also asking for people to send origami paper cranes to their RE children for healing. Here's the relevant post on their wall:

Gunman opens fire in Tennessee church, 1 killed

By DUNCAN MANSFIELD – 14 hours ago 

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A man wielding a shotgun entered a church and opened fire as congregants watched a youth performance Sunday, killing one person and injuring eight others, police said.

The gunman was tackled by church members and eventually taken into police custody. None of the children were injured. A hospital spokeswoman said five of the wounded were in critical condition.

Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen identified the man killed as Greg McKendry, 60, a longtime church member and usher at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church.

"It appears Mr. McKendry was the first person he (the gunman) encountered when he walked into the sanctuary," Owen said. "It's going to be a while before all the facts are cleared up."

A church member who arrived moments after the shooting said the gunman fired three times and was tackled. Steve Drevick said he spoke to several eyewitnesses and that no one at the church recognized the gunman. He did said the gunman had more ammunition on him.

Officials wouldn't say exactly how many people helped subdue the gunman.

"It was a large group and we are thankful for them for without it, this situation could have been even worse," Mayor Bill Haslam said.

There were about 200 people at the time of the shooting watching a youth performance being put on by 25 children.

Church member Marty Murphy told The Knoxville News Sentinel that she was about 30 to 40 feet from the shooter when the rampage began.

"We heard the first shot," she said. "It sounded like a bomb went off. We thought it was part of the program at first."

She said church members dove under church pews and others ran out the sanctuary.

Murphy told the newspaper some of the children were close to the shooter when the attack began.

"One little girl had blood all over her," she said. "She was just hysterical. I don't know how that girl is going to sleep tonight."

Another witness told the newspaper that the man killed was a hero.

"Greg McKendry stood in the front of the gunman and took the blast to protect the rest of us," Barbara Kemper said.

Police had cordoned off the church with yellow and red tape, and were taking statements and collecting video cameras from church members who were taping the performance. Owen said the FBI also was assisting in the investigation.

The church's minister was on vacation in western North Carolina at the time of the shooting but returned Sunday afternoon.

"We've been touched by a horrible act of violence. We are in a process of healing and we ask everyone for your prayers," the Rev. Chris Buice said in a statement outside the church.

The Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church is a community that meets to worship and work together for social change, according to the church's Web site. Since the 1950's, the congregation has worked for desegregation, racial harmony, fair wages, women's rights and gay rights, according to the Web site. The congregation also has provided sanctuary for political refugees, fed the homeless and founded a chapter of the ACLU.

Household Bank Rip Off

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

This bank has lied to me. I called CS because my acct had been $3.00 over & I made a $10.00 payment, the previous day. I wanted assurance that no fees would be attached to my account.CS PROMISED me no fees would be assessed against my account.

Tonight, I found a $30.00 fee assessed for overage! My current activity since last statement doesn't show my payment. The overage fee does.

If your computers are capable of charging IMMEDIATELY for an overage, they're CERTAINLY capable of listing a PAYMENT IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT assessing an ADDITIONAL fee for immediate processing!

What does it say about your policies that you tried to assess a penalty TEN TIMES that of the overage on my account, when I'd already covered the difference, within TWO HOURS of its occurance?

My income is Social Security Disability insurance, less than $700/mo. Is this bank SO financially insecure it needs to assess unfair fees to disabled people? No WONDER banks r closing! CHANGE YOUR POLICIES!

Toboho's lost house priviledges

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

I taped a hand written copy of this to his bedroom door, after he came
in (gone a week, without word) at 2am, waking me by CHECKING MY
ANSWERING MACHINE and slamming his door.

YOU HAVE LOST THE FOLLOWING PRIVELEDGES

DISHES: Since you insist on hording them in your room, attracting bugs.

TRUCK: For driving w/out permission while drinking, leaving empty
alcohol can (behnd MY SEAT! I told him, REPEATEDLY, NO OPEN CONTAINERS
IN THE TRUCK, to which he said I was treating him like a child)


ANSWERING MACHINE & PHONE: Answering machine is NOT yours. YOU don't
need to check messages; I do.

FREE ACCESS: You have a 10pm curfew. I need sleep AND peace. I'll be
locking deadbolt at 10 pm (he doesn't have a key), UNLESS you make
arrangements with me in ADVANCE. I will UNLOCK by apx. 6 am.

GUESTS: Guest must be cleared with me in advnce, 24 hr. notice.

------------------

If you didn't act like a child, you wouldn't be "treated like a child."

NO ALCOHOL

NO DRUGS!!

taking KUNM to Ft. Sumner

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

me.

This morning, I'm packing my kitchen cubicles.

They're actually the old mail boxes from the station: complete with
weird stickers, labels with everybody's names, graphiti, etc.

I didn't even peel off Renee Blake's name, although some of you might
wonder why not?

I've even got Paul Ingles Peace Talks Our Top Stories (Paul, PLEASE
get another grant; I loved Top Stories!!!)

They have no backs on them, so they're perfect to put in the middle of
the kitchen, so I can reach my best glassware, spices and dry goods
from both sides, while sunlight streams through them.

I don't know who made them, but they're beautifully constructed.

I hope to keep them forever.

Oddest kitchen cabinets in history.

new roommate went crazy

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

to Rachel,  from Br's computer in Ft. Sumner
he drank a liter of gin & 12 cans of malt liquor yesterday, hiding it from me becaus3e I said no open containers in car.

Cop pulled me over in Ft. Sum... "Christopher" had to go out there and confront the cop! All went well, but scary for awhile.

CRAZY accusations, etc.

Pestered Br & Zack to buy him liquor all day.

Bought bbq foods for family at grocery; became angry at me for no reason. Now I know it's because it wasn't about bbq; the store sold no liquor.

Became FRIGHTENINGLY verbally abusive and threatening when we returned to Br's.

Said he wanted to go home NOW.

I didn't answer; I've stopped speaking to him.

SCREAMING at me.

In front of br's family, "I want to go home now."

Br's mom: "Rogi still has work to do."

Christopher: "I want to leave NOW!"

Me: Bye.

He's still sitting at the intersecton to hwy. 60 and the northern route to Santa Rosa.

We just came back from store; Br stopped to ask him if he wanted some food. He said no, thanks, he's fine.

So he's still sitting there.

Doubt I can get online again.

If Megan could just check the house in the morning, I'd be grateful.

I'm leaving here very early am; trailer back to albq. by noon, or probs with u haul

my plan

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

to Trinity House

I'm going to TRY to keep living with Toboho, but under more serious
restrictions.

I really can't count on him to check in when he says he will. He HAS
paid his rent, in full, when it's due.

I have to be VERY careful about when I tell him I need something; it
causes him, frequently, to question my judgment, yell at me and/or
argue with me. He may be charming, but he's one of the angriest people
I've ever met.

I've told him I don't want him to bring any alcohol in the house. This
weekend was torture. He became aggrevated once, when we were about to
drive away. I saw him getting ready to crack a beer and repeated, for
the 3rd time that day, "I don't want open containers in the truck."
Apparantly, I ought not have stated that. He said he'd already agreed
to that. He was very angry that he couldn't drink his beer but had to
leave with me.

He's not going to be in my truck anymore. This morning, I found an
empty beer can, carefully placed behind MY driver's seat.

He told me he is reminded of his ex-girlfriend by me, because I expect
him to be where he says he's going to be and be accountable. I am NOT
his girlfriend, and find this pretty muddled, sexist thinking.

I think he as confused license with liberty. Many people do.

His mind is very cluttered with self justification, denial, excuses,
shifting blame, ego protection and chaotic thinking, so I'm trying not
to engage him.

I need someone to help with the rent until Sept. 4, and don't see any
other options besides Toboho, although I've posted several CraigsList
ads.

I AM afraid of him. He's easily provoked and he provokes, especially
while under the influence. I think he's reckless. That's fine with his
own life, but I don't want him to endanger me with open containers,
questioning police officers while I'm operating the vehicle, singing
"Legalize Marijuana" in front of small-town folks outside a store,
making jokes about needing cocaine to work, etc.

I can't afford that drama. He shoots himself in the foot, but his self
destructiveness endangers others, too.

So, he stays, unless he turns violent (which wouldn't surprise me;
that's why he can't drink here anymore -- he PROMISED, when he moved
in, that he doesn't drink in excess, so now I know he's a liar who
tells people what he thinks they want to hear).

He's insulting, disrespectful, accusatory, demanding, patronizing,
condescending, cocky, argumentative. He embarrassed me in front of my
friends and total strangers this weekend. He interrupts me constantly
and won't listen to important information I'm trying to tell him,
demanding later that I tell him again.

But, since he won't be in the truck with me anymore, that will be minimized.

I'm trying to maintain as LITTLE contact with him as possible.

He is FURIOUS with me for being angry with him in front of Marcos. He
said I treated him like a child. I think he felt emasculated. Although
I've repeatedly apologized, he still brings it up. But then, he
accuses me of all sorts of stuff I DIDn't do, so why should I be
surprised?

I finally had to make a vow to myself, this weekend, that I wouldn't
speak to him, no matter HOW badly he tried to provoke me. That's when
he threw a tantrum, scared the family there, and walked off to go back
to Albuquerque! I wouldn't play and he escalated into a total rage
attack.

Anyway PLEASE don't tell him I called Trinity House & y'all's cell
phone. He'll go off on me again, and my nerves are SHOT; I can't TAKE
anymore of his cruel mouth.

It's only for about 6 more weeks and then I never have to hear him
scream at me again.

My friends know what he's like. Hell, the whole TOWN of Ft. SUMNER
knows; they all have police scanners; they know when the cops spoke to
him -- TWICE! The whole town's gossiping about him, about me, and
about the family to whose house I'm moving!

I'm embarrassed that the whole town thinks I'm so irresponsible as to
bring a loud mouthed drunk into town for the weekend, who lay outside
an abandoned gas station for hours on the main drag, simply because I
wouldn't IMMEDIATELY drive him back to Albuquerque the minute he
wanted to leave!

But my local friends know, too. And they're keeping an eye on me and
this apartment, so I'll be safe.

He really scared me this weekend. He scared my friends and he scared
their KIDS (When I TOLD him this, he actually said, "That doesn't
matter." These are SERIOUSLY, physically and developmentally disabled
girls he scared!). And he's not welcomed back there.

I'm sorry I called, but I'm really scared of him. I'm sleeping with a
hunting knife under my pillow and I never leave my purse or keys where
he can get at them.

If you tell him I contacted you -- again -- about him, I don't know
what he'll do.

"Christopher" MIA again

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

to Trinity House:

It's nearly midnight & I'm worried sick.

"Christopher" NEEDS TO CALL ME BEFORE NOON TOMORROW!

"Christopher," as he won't tell me his actual name, left a message
LAST night that he wouldn't be home and would "see you tomorrow." This
is "tomorrow." I haven't heard a WORD about: where he is, when he's
coming back, if he's really going to help me move, if he's going to
pay his rent and what time that'll happen.

His rent is due. Last time he got paid, apparantly, he got "robbed."

I called St. Martin's, where he told me he works, 4 times today to
leave messages. I DESPERATELY needed his help tonight. The last time I
called, the woman who answered said he hasn't been working there this
week!

So, why hasn't he paid me the rent he owes?

I'm supposed to rent a trailer from U-haul on Friday, to transport a
shed (getting it out of the backyard today, while I had a work crew,
was why I needed him; it's still not moved) to Ft. Sumner on Friday.

I need his rent $ to pay for the trailer & gasoline out there & back.

If I DON'T hear from him by noon tomorrow, I'll have to call U-haul to
CANCEL the trailer, or pay more of a penalty than the rental would
have cost me.

I'm out of money and running out of food.

I've just been diagnosed with pulmonary edema and emphysema. I'm very
ill and the heat is exhausting me. I'm working WAY too hard, with no
help. He's SUPPOSED to help me unload the truck & trailer in Ft.
Sumner this weekend; I can't do it alone.

I'm running out of time to move!

I've been home all day, afraid to be too far from the phone, in case
he calls again, so I can tell him all this.

If I don't hear from him by noon, I have to cance the trailer. I can't
just sit around waiting while he sleeps and socializes. I waived a
deposit on the room in exchange for some help with the move. I haven't
been unreasonable in my requests for assistance.

He needs to man up. I'm not his mother.

pacing cigarettes

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

My target date for quitting cigarettes is, tentatively, July 11. That's when I expect to reeive the nicotine gum in the mail.

But I decided some prep stuff was in order.

One thing that has HELPED in the past is pacing: one cig per hour.

I've been SO conjested in the mornings, though, that I've been chain smoking half a pack, more or less, when I get up. Partly, I do it to calm the coughing. Partly, I do it as a stimulant, as I've been very groggy inthe mornings & wanted to wake up so I could start packing the truck while it's still cool outside.

This morning, I managed to DELAY the 1st cig by apx 10 mins. That's a victory.

I couldn't manage to wait an entire hour for the 2nd cigarette, but I DID WAIT 30 MINUTES!! That's another victory.

Also, I'm going to try to walk 1/2 hr per day.  I took the goats out for a walk in the afternoon. True, motly, I was sitting or standing around, waiting for the goats to graze. But we went several blocks, one pretty long one. I felt it in my calf muscles. And the goats, of course, LOVED not being imprisoned in the back yard! Much playing, gamboling and head butting ensued.

where I'm moving

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

Someone emailed me today, thinking Ft. Sumner is in Colorado. I WISH it were in Colorado, but it's actually in semi- or demiHell, New Mexico, almost Texas. They seem to have planted Billy the Kid there: long history of varmints, livin down there. 'cept for the Jesus and the football, I ought to fit right in.
http://www.ftsumnerchamber.com/

If you set this map on "terrain" and zoom in 3 jots before highest zoom, you can see Br's place pretty well, incl. 18 wheelers passing on the highway.

I'm hoping to gawd those big, black, ugly rectangles next door to her place aren't a feed lot or a meat processing plant! The stench and screaming would tear me up.

It's an abandoned hotel, on Highway 60 (north side of the road), on 13 acres. Her payments are $300/month. 1 acre = 4840 yards. I don't know how big an acre is, but i know it's bigger than a standard back yard by some.

They've got horses and a barn. I think I see that, and the horse corral, just north of the living complexes. I wouldn't MIND living in the barn! Done it before. Just need internet, phone and electric. I can make my own septic tank & haul h2o.

I'll be living in a 25' travel trailer until we can get the 2 br mobile home fixed up. I'll also have a motel room for art & recording studio space.

I'll be living there rent free, paying my own utilities & other expenses.

I'll be working as Amanda's personal care assistant, part time.

I plan to work on radio & my art & writing a lot.

I'll be applying for a volunteer position at the actual Fort, a state monument; I plan to do research on The Long Walk. Ft. Sumner is the destination of that walk, during which thousands of Apache and Dine were kidnapped by the US army from their homes and forcibly marched to the fort. The fort -- and the old US airbase (where NASA still does balloon research) are within walking distance.

There's fishing in the Pecos River & several lakes, so I'll be taking my goats & dogs fishing with me.

Within 20 miles, I can visit several "ghost towns," one of which is still occupied by a post office and population of 11 residents.

There's a wind farm near Portales. Portales has ENMU, for "cultcha," science (which I LOVE!) and an occassional, decent cuppa coffee.

I'm hoping to set up an ameteur astronomy observatory, if light pollution permits.

There's a marginally active group of Unitarian Universalists; they range from Ft. Sumner to Eastern Texas. So, I'll have some fellowship occasionally, if they're not the "bickering" kind of UUs (which is why I'm not involved in any Albq. fellowships).

I'm also in contact with a country western AM station; they broadcast jeebus, rush and classic country, from So. Canada to ALL of Mexico, at night, anyway. They're interested in me for the news dept.

I'm in contact with the editor of the De Baca County Register & the Livestock Report, both of which publish weekly, to work as a reporter.

I'm also in contact with SouthernNewMexico.com an online ezine that can use me as a reporter.

I'm planning on being the correspondent of "Little Texas" for KUNM. We don't broadcast down there, but I can listen on the 'net, for now. I'm already discussing with Richard Towne how to put up a little tower & broadcast KUNM off the 'net, plus get some locals to go in with me on producing local programming. I'll discuss it with the Prometheus Radio Project re: low power FM.

It's too late this year, but next year I hope to hell to put in a decent "truck" garden. I have chickens for eggs. I have goats for milk/cheese, once I breed Nilly. Don't see why I should buy food if I can grow it. Hopefully, Br will have some equipment I can use to prepare the ground. I see what look like furrows to the west of the hotel; maybe I'll get really lucky & that'll be on her property.

Mostly, I think the economy in this country will get MUCH worse before it gets better. I'm going to hunker down, eliminate extra expenses, do my art & creative work and heal my body & mind.

Anybody interested in joining us? There's lots of room at the hotel!

Wisdom of the Crowds

This made me feel so much better!

Dear Mr. Norman,

I've watched "By His Own Design" three times now.

I lived in Pacific Grove & Santa Cruz for several years. I miss it, deeply.

I'm moving to -- of all places -- Ft. Sumner, New Mexico in a couple
of months. I'm taking my art supplies with me.

I've always been so low income that creative arts always got
sacrificed to keep a roof over my head. I plan to change that when I
move. I want creative arts to be my first priority. I've never truly
been successful unless I do what I love to do. I'm not "connected,"
and may never sell anythig I create, but I need to create it, no
matter what.

I plan to pay attention to the landscapes, the skies, the animals, the
fauna, the geology, the light, the astronomy and the weather.

I'll be working, part time, as a personal assistant to Amanda, who is
severely developmentally and physically disabled from a car crash 10
years ago. You can hear a radio documentary I produced about her
family at http://kunm.org Just look for "podcasts" and subscribe to
"Sunday Specials." Look for "What's a Disability to Brenda's Girls;"
that's it.

I became close friends with the family during production. They live in
an abandoned hotel, on 13 acres of land. I'll be living in a trailer
and using an hotel room -- and an outdoor structure I'll make of
corrugated metal -- as studio space.

That, and my Social Security Disability Insurance, will be my primary
income -- along with some independent radio documentaries.

I truly appreciate your epoxy techniques. I've always done that sort
of work, with inferior materials, and loved it.

I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me a few hints.

What sort of wax do you use? I noticed it's grey; it's not parafin, is
it? Once you've melted it out, can it be reused? How do you melt it,
without too much heat on the work?

Do you MAKE your own epoxy? I know you blend it with sawdust -- which
is brilliant, by the way. If you make your epoxy, would you give me
some hints?

At first, I thought your sculpting was conventional inlay, requiring
much careful sanding I see you DO inlay, but the mosaic on wax
technique with sawdust epoxy makes a LOT of sense. I was also
thinking of ground glass, sands, pebbles, seeds, beads, etc as mortar,
too.

I plan to use a lot of trash -- I'm a recycler -- to create my stuff.
Especially, for large pieces, I was thinking of papr mache over frames
made of old milk & soda bottles, cans, newspapers, etc. Ft. Sumner is
FULL of trash!

But, for smaller pieces, the wax makes a lot of sense to me.

I'm bisexual; I used to identify myself as Lesbian, but I'm not a
purist at anything, really. I'm not closeted, fortunately. I want you
to know that the story of the partnership between you & Brooks truly
touched me. I admire your courage, your insistance on authenticity,
your very "butch" hard work.

Enjoy that magnificent environment you and Brooks created!

slumlady, redux


The art of KIH. Most artists in pastel use soft strokes, gently blending colors by smoothing them with a soft tool or finger tip. Rarely do pastel artists resort to harsh strokes, jagged lines and short, rapid "scrubbing" strokes. Usually, pastels are soothing, blended, rather like water colors. Colors are blended so carefully as to create an illusion of textures. Many artists use the subtleties of the color blends to bring out depth, three dimensionality and smoothness, roundness, translucence and transparency.

KIH's work looks childish, frantic, harsh, angry and incomplete. Basically, it looks like her mind, not the peaceful (and UNPOPULATED!) landscapes she mimics. It looks like she WANTS you to believe the natural you see, not realizing she has unconsciously revealed, by her techniques, the unnatural within the artist.

sewage backed up again

Rachel, could YOU please call her? I just can't.

No, we don't put anything down there besides toilet paper.

====================

the apartment was FLOODING
Monday, June 23, 2008 7:28 PM
From:
"Rogi Riverstone"
To:
Katherine

I pushed the garden hose down the sewer to try to push loose the clog. THE HOSE WATER WAS NOT ON! I want you to PROVE to me that you have "three witnesses" that SAW that the water was ON, as you stated when you called to verbally attack me tonight, calling me a liar and accusing me of things I never did.

You couldn't answer email or phone messages, and water was POURING out of the toilet and bathtub onto the floor, spilling out onto the hard wood.

I've been mopping YOUR hardwood floors for an HOUR to try to prevent water damage.

I called the City of Albuquerque, who sent out a truck to flush the storm drains and manholes, in case the sewage backup was THEIR fault. IF you don't believe THAT, call 311 in Albuquerque, tell them the address and date, and THEY will verify it.

I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY!!!

"Therapists" do NOT address people with PTSD the way you just did.

ASK me what I've done, instead of ACCUSING me of stuff you got from the criminal neighbors' gossip!

MUD in the sewer lines
Monday, June 23, 2008 7:33 PM
From:
"Rogi Riverstone"
To:
Katherine

I also walked around to all my neighbors, to see if anybody had a snake to try to clean out the drain, it was THAT urgent.

Cris & Sasha's trash is parked right over a sewer cap. That's why the lines froze in the winter: they knock the cap off the sewer lines; I told you this back then.

I see where they've been hosing down the walkway outside their kitchen door. There's a BIG stream of MUD, going RIGHT into the sewer line, where the cap is always missing.

I check & replace that cap, any time I think of it, which is seldom, as I never go over there & can't see it with the trash on top of it.

The threads from pipe to cap don't seem to work any more; the cap won't screw on tightly.

==================

it's 1am and I can't sleep -- AGAIN!
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 2:00 AM
From:
"Rogi Riverstone"
To:
Katherine
Bcc:
"Br", "Glen", "Corey", "Marjorie", "Judith",  "Paul"

"Thanks, Rogi, for trying so hard to prevent damage to my hardwood floors. You were level headed. You sought help from the city, who came out to pump the storm drains and manholes in the neigbhorhood. You walked the neighborhood in the heat, trying to find a neighbor with a snake. You tried to push the clog out of the pipe with your garden hose, when you couldn't find a snake. You worked for over an hour to clean up the mess with mops, rags and A PUMP (kneeling on the sewage-covered floor, up to your elbows in sewage, as you struggled to keep the hose in the pump to drain water out of the overflowing tub and out the bathroom window). You single-handedly prevented thousands of dollars in structural damages that COULD have gotten the property condemned by the city as a substandard building and health hazard (while Cris and Sasha just drove away and left it all)! It was a serious emergency. I couldn't answer your email or phone call. The water was spillingout into the apartment. You didn't have my instructions on how to hire a plumber in an emergency (although you TRIED to find out, by phoning Waz, the only maintanace person whose number you had). You did your very best under difficult circumstances, and a lot more than most other tenants -- including Cris and Sasha -- and I'm grateful." ~~words I'll never hear from Katherine.

I have to be up in 4 hours, while it's still cool enough that I can pack the truck, when someone can help me. And I'll have to do it, without enough rest, even as the triage nurse on the phone insisted, days ago, that I SHOULD take an ambulance to the ER, as I have all the symptoms of pulmonary edema. I'll have to do it because, no matter HOW sick I am, you'll "PUNISH" me if I'm not out of here on the day my lease is up. If someone can help me, I have to be there when they can. And I can only work a few hours per day, so I'll need the entire term of the lease to get out.

Your little phone call elevated my pulse, respiration and blood pressure to the point where I became dizzy and began coughing convusively, until I became incontinent and vomited. It COULD have KILLED me!

Yet, I NEVER raised my voice; I NEVER accused YOU of ANYTHING. And I'm the one with PTSD!! I maintained a PROFESSIONAL relationship with you while you just lost it, slurred speech and all. You were SO invested in HATING me, you REFUSED to listen to a word I said!

I won't be able to sleep at all tonight -- again -- because of your hysterics, abuse, false accusations, presumptions of my guilt, arrogant snobbery, COMPLETE lack of personal boundaries and totally unprofessional conduct.

What the hell do you call leaving water running off the roof for DAYS and thinking the swamp cooler was working???? THAT's good for your brand new roof and ancient walls and foundation!

When you wrote an email to Rachel and me, saying WE didn't have a good sense of boundaries, we - and ALL our friends and associates we'd told (legal council, included) -- had quite a laugh, hearing that coming from YOU of ALL people!

How DARE you think you can call me up, scream false accusations at me and hang up on me when I try to explain that YOU WERE MISINFORMED --AGAIN!!! THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FRONT ARE CRIMINALS! THEY LIE TO POLICE OFFICERS, for crying out loud! They're professional THIEVES! They physically ASSAULT anybody who gets in the way of their ignorance! But you believe their gossip like scriptures, over anything I say.

Your "hysterical female" routine is wearing rather thin; you're a bit old for high school tactics.

I see what you are.

You are a brat. You are a bully. Your life is COMPLETELY out of control, so you are OBSESSED with controlling those you believe your "inferiors." You manipulate, intimidate, harrass, threaten, meddle, and insinuate your agenda into the lives of those to whom you mistakenly compare yourself as "superior." Someday, someone is going to wipe that smug smirk off your face. I'd LOVE to see that happen, but I HAVE a life, and won't be around for it. I take my satisfaction in just KNOWING it will happen.

I feel SO bad for those poor children, subjected to your "therapy!"

You are common as dirt. You respect nothing but money and phoney status symbols. My god, I told you I was beaten in the head, and you tried to use the notion that I accepted a deposit from a prospective, new roommate as some lame, litigeous argument that I violated the LEASE??? I should keep my abuser here, rather than try to live a healthy and safe life, because of YOUR obsession with MONEY????

What runs through your veins: warm blood or cold alcohol?

You are SO SICK! And you're hell bent to poison anyone around you who dares QUESTION your warped "reality!" Yeah, you created your own reality, all right. It's repulsive, unjust, cruel, twisted and sadistic. It has NOTHING to do with who I am, what I stand for and believe in, the work I do, the people I respect and the planet I steward.

STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!

I was going to delete the Barbara Bush quote in my email signature, but it sounds SO MUCH like you, I left it in.

I'm just grateful I got out as soon as I did, alive

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

I answered a Craig's List ad, posted by a couple in Los Lunas, who needed a caretaker. I was thinkng it'd be a good place for my goats & dogs. I'd only work pt down there, and could afford a small place in town for my cats & birds. I'd give away the chickens and ducks, if I had to.

Well, you-know-who started dangling our deals over my head: I shop & cook in exchange for her keeping utils. in her name & paying them; letting me use the truck (in her name) and not start buying it from her 'til after I get out of this damn lease in Sept.

So, I asked Los Lunas if I could move all the animals in and just live there, so I could pay off the truck ASAP. They're on an acre of sand & weeds; I could easily fence off 1/3 with pallets, sheet metal, etc., to safely enclose my critters. The cats coud come & go through my bedroom window.

All I'd brought down so far was my basic needs  for my bed & bath + a load of about a dozen pallets.

Last time I was there, I asked wife to call me when she next needed me. Monday, at nearly 4pm, I got an angry, nasty call: why wasn't I there? A nurse from the VA would be coming the next day and THEY had to mop the kitchen, because I wasn't there.

I tried to explain our last agreement. The line went dead.

I called back, pretending we'd gotten disconnected (I knew she didn't DESERVE the benefit of the doubt, but I have standards.) She snarled and accused. I said, "I think it's best if I just come for my things..." The line went dead again.

S, I called the county sherrif's office & the city police, so they'd know to expct me. I called someone I know who both has a cell phone & martial arts training, to help me pack up down there. I printed copies of all emails & their ad, so the cops would know I wasn't robbing the place.

I had to ditch the pallets & the under-bed cabinets I'd brought (they had no accomodations for me to store personal items; the closet was FULL of junk; broken down furniture ate what little space was left; there were two 2'x HEAVY boxes of their crap I had to move into a spare room, which I had to clean up to make room for their crap in "my" room.)  

I handed stuff through the window to my helper who put it in the truck.

I walked through the house to the front door. By now, wife was out of bed, in the living room. Someone else was there, too, besides husband, but I didn't look. I heard her snarl, "Get over here and talk to us!" My pace quickened. I nearly fell, running down the rickety front steps. I didn't bother to latch the tricky, broken door.

I yelled at my helper: "Get in! Roll up your window and lock your door!"

I peeled out of there so fast (which is hard to do on sand,  littered with piles of trash, and thread my way through their narrow gate with the big assed truck) SO fast, my door wasn't completely shut; the dome light kept winking on. I didn't bother to shut the door until I'd made it to the main highway. I was REALLY scared!

I wrote this. I've edited her replies, as I haven't permission to publish them. The Ad was public; I have no qualms about publishing that, as a WARNING to other, potential victims.

Now that I know what kind of person you really are, I
don't expect you to do the right thing. I know it's
time and money I'll never get back.

Oh, they paid for the gas to drive THEM.  Was I supposed to ??? Well, my POINT is: it REALLY COST me to go down there and get treated like junk. And they paid for ONE meal, which I deducted from my bill. I paid for any others. She conveniently can't remember that, though.

You have had a stroke and freely admit you can't
remember things. You don't remember our last
conversation. So, instead of taking my word for it,
you are accusing me of neglecting you and my
responsibilities. Calling me to accuse me of actions
and motives that aren't mine and hanging up on me when
I try to address you is abusive.

She claims she tried to leave several messages on my phone machine (I screen calls; it's a business phone & I don't have time for BS), but never got a reply. Funny everybody ELSE who called hat weekend got through! She said I became "defensive" when she called Monday. If explaining myself is defensive, so what? Of course, she goes on to say my explanation was "bitching," that that's why she hung up, and that hanging up is not abusive! She has no ROOM in her life for that chip on her shoulder!

Your husband has PTSD and keeps a loaded gun in
the house.

She says hubby has it to protect them. Well, I'm not sure how they'd describe "protection." And hubby is NOT doing anything proactive to treat his PTSD; he's merely denying, ignoring and avoiding: a sure prescription for a violent outburst. I KNOW; I HAVE PTSD. AND he's so loyal to wife, who is VERY abusive, he'd shoot me if he perceived me as a threat to her.

I nearly didn't return for my things, until I'd called
the Valencia County Sheriff's Department and the Los
Lunas Police Department, to advise them I would be
coming, AND brought a friend with martial arts'
training and a cell phone to call authorities if
needed, for back up.

She CLAIMS she asked me "to please sit down with us to discuss the matter." But, instead, I ran out to my truck to get away from them as quickly as I could. Hell, yeah, I did: "GET over here and talk to us!"


I refuse to argue with you; you pick fights for
entertainment.

Of course, I'm wrong. I could cite 1/2 doz. examples, and I only worked for them about 4 days. She's a contrary know-it-all. She replied that I always had an opinion and voiced it without anyone asking what I thought. Silly me: thinking I'm an equal and not a slave.

This is what you've cost me. It doesn't include the
labor for acquiring materials to fence the yard. You
may burn the wood I left in your fireplace.

You violated our agreement:

She thinks we had none.

You were verbally abusive and/or argumentative, every
day that I worked for you.

She says I did not tell them I have a brain injury (I've never told ANYONE that, as I have no formal diagnosis, just the suspicions of a few psychotherapists) or that I'm "gay." Their NUDIST roommate seems to think he read that on my blog and told them. I don't identify as gay, as I'm not male; I don't identify as Lesbian, because I haven't been, exclusively, with women. A LOT  of creative misinterpretations going on here! What does ANY of it have to do with my abilities to perform the job, you ignrant rednecks? I didn't HAVE to tell them I have PTSD; it's illegal, under the ADA, for them to even ASK about disabilities. I thought hubby would like to know I understand HIS disability! I gave them links to EVERYTHING about me; how is that not telling them?? Jesus, I broadcast all KINDS of stuff about myself on the 'net and on radio; how is that not courageous, honest and a HELL of a lot more intgrity than all of them, put together?

She snarls that I was bringing more animals than I'd said at first. Well, I ASKED if I could change the arrangements, as I told you at the top of this. She acts like I was being sneaky or taking advantage of them! I was merely exploring my OPTIONS! NO animals of mine EVER lived on their property! My dogs visited once, and their dogs tried to kill my Weasel. I hadn't even had time to build the FENCE yet!

You didn't telephone, as we'd agreed when last we
spoke, to let me know when you would need me next,
until AFTER you'd needed me.

Your husband gave me ONE DAY to vacate the room,
which is illegal under New Mexico law; I had a right
to thirty days' notice.

She askes if THEY had a right to 30 days' notice. Nope. When somene is afraid for her life, her property, her safety, all bets are off. The abusive mouth is proof enough, but add to that the TOTAL disregard for my dignity, rights and safety...

Do not telephone, visit my property or email me again,
unless it is to apologize for your abusive and
deceptive behavior and to offer to compensate me. Do
not send representatives to do it, either.

I will not tolerate intimidation, threats, harassment,
verbal or physical abuse.

I've received hang-up calls, repeatedly, ever since. And she sent her "reply" email immediately. Brilliant.

She claims that they are not harassing me in any way and that I lied to them by omission.

?????????? 'cause they're too lazy, too self-absorbed to READ ABOUT ME???

Get back over here!" Everybody that restaurant stared at me. And I KNEW I'd have to go BACK there with them! I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, no extras. It came to $6; I factored in an extra dollar for a tip I'll bet they didn't leave.

The curtain rod in "my" room was just fine when I started moving in. Now it is seperated and 1 side disconnected from the wall, NOT broken. She "can't" hang the sun rotted, threadbare, BLACK, too-long-for-the-window curtain back up, because she's too lazy, full of self pity and fat to get on a step ladder. She's sure that was just a mistake when I was moving out because I was "so mad," so she will not charge me for it. How WHITE of you, Ms. "African Engineered!" Racist! I wasn't mad; I was TERRIFIED!

__________________________________________
They did not ask for all my animals and all the items I expected them to provide (such as "half" of their back yard for my animals). I expected NOTHING beyond common respect, decent manners, privacy... you know, NORMAL human rights kind of luxuries.

Why did I feel the necessity to put another whole mattress on top of the mattress and box springs they provided that were completely clean? I didn't; there was no other mattress; explain how I managed to stuff a mattress through a small, bedroom window -- twice!

Why did I put the drawers under the mattress and box springs without their "permission or knowledge?" If it's "my" room, I'll furnish it as I see fit (just as they -- and their other roommate -- don't need MY "permission and knowledge"; I don't NEED anybody's "permision or knowledge." Besides, did THEY make provisions for a dresser or other place to store my personal items? No. In fact, they had the room piled up ith their OWN crap! Including a full closet!

I stated that I am an excellent cook. I never cooked anything for them, because there was AlWAYS an excuse for not going grocery shopping. One of the recurrant excuses was, "No money." Yet, they eat at Denny's ($8/serving, per person, average) 1x/day, often 2. She had a stroke, is diabetic and obese; his Dr. is worried because he's gained 25 lbs. in one month. The night we ate at Denny's, he ordered pancakes, breakfast meat of some sort -- probably pork -- and grits. She eats half; orders ice cream; takes the other half home to feed to the also-fat dogs.

Her foods list included mostly fruits & vegies they WON'T (not "can't") eat. Most people's food lists, esp. special diets, include what they CAN eat. But she DID include everybody's favorite soda pops on the list. She even made a list for the roommate, as though I was supposed to short order for him, too.

Screw you rednecks!

I won't be back

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

I just read this, after I sent the following email, on the Colorado Share website. They expect each participant to "volunteer two hours per month," in addition to paying for groceries. At $10/hr., that's an extra $20/month!

Here's my email to Colorado Share:

From Colorado Share website:
"The experience of picking up your "Share" of food at the host site is almost like a community party."
http://www.sharecolorado.com/index.cfm?action=how_does_share_work

But it wasn't. I sat and waited in a smelly, church basement, while two disorganized people scurried around the room, looking for their paperwork amongst maybe 15 boxes of food. Three people were ahead of me; they told 2 they were "short one . . ." and described the foodstuffs those people wouldn't receive until, maybe, next month.

My order was ready; it sat and waited mere feet from where I sat and waited. The volunteer couldn't remember my name, told twice, or find her papers.

My April box ($30) + produce box ($15) + spaghetti sauce ($1.45) were all crammed in one box, too heavy for me to lift. I started sorting through it, because I couldn't believe I'd paid $15 for so little produce, and surely, there was more to the April box than what I was seeing.

The produce couldn't be first quality, as promised on your website. The iceberg (no nutritional value) lettuce was wilted. The TWO lemons have mold on the skins. It's not, as stated on the website, food I would normally eat. I was hoping for locally-produced (as stated on the website) fruits and vegetables, and I got farm factory stuff in net or plastic packaging, mostly, with half a dozen oranges, 2 grapefruits, TWO tomatoes, 2 mangos, rolling around loose. The workers handled my food without gloves.

When I got it home, I read the can of spaghetti sauce, which cost me 50% more than I would have paid at a regular, retail grocery, on sale. It came from Canada: not local. The 2nd ingredient is water and the 3rd is HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, which is a leading cause of obesity & diabetes in the USA.

So, I spent $45 on overpriced, small-quantity, NONlocal, UNhealthy, molded and wilted junk I'd NEVER purchase at the grocery. When I usually spend $15 for produce, it's all highly nutritious and varied. It's enough to last 2 people 1 week. It's usually local and often organic. I have no idea where this stuff came from, but it was pitiful.

I ran a REAL, GOOD food pantry (and believe me, this FELT like a bad food pantry: I should be GRATEFUL for the chaos, short orders, confusion, mess and bad smells; they were doing me a FAVOR!) for TEN years. People got full orders, on time, without long waits. They were treted with dignity and respect. They got to choose individual items among catgories of foods, quantities based on stock available The food was wholesome, fresh nutritious and nontoxic. No, it wasn't "first quality;" It as from Roadrunner Food Bank. But we never gave out moldy, wilted stuff and we NEVER gave out high fructose corn syrup, lard, high salt or other toxins.

I'll be sure to tell all my friends.

another disappointment

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

the following are my comments to the blog post, http://narcissists-suck.blogspot.com/2008/04/pagan-priesthood-of-appeasement.html

Darn! I was really hoping I'd found a useful blog. You seem well informed and articulate, in some posts. Maybe you're just plagerizing, though.

I have to comment on this post. It's sooooo self righteous, intolerant, prejudiced, misinformed and unChristian.

Specifically:

"Paganism is not and never has been an elevating force in human societies."

Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece, Rome, preChristian Europe, preCaucasian Africa, preColumbian Central and South America....

"Just because some cultures have achieved some recognizable levels of sophistication by our standards doesn't disprove that pagan religions have consistently been the locus of moral vice and debauchery and have often led to the extinction of the cultures that practiced the most immoral of rites."

And the so-called, "Christians" haven't?

The Crusades; the Inquisition; War of the Roses; pedophile priests; Russian Pograms; Nazis (yes, they were "Christians"); Hiroshima; Nagasaki; invasian of Iraq; global warming; incest; wife beating; (statistics show most of these, two latter are committed by heterosexual, Christian men).

"Especially those which engaged in human sacrifice." See paragraph, above and add: war; capital punishment; slavery; environmental racism; international food hording; multinational corporate exploitation; the drug trade; organized crime. Almost ALL of these are perpetrated by self-proclaimed, "Christians."

Haven't we had ENOUGH religious jihad thinking in the past, ten years?

I KNOW you've been deeply hurt and angered by your personal experiences. But REPEATING the same patterns of self righteous abuse on others doesn't heal ANYbody, especially not YOU!

I thought religion was a source of love, not hate.

I'll have to side with Mark Twain about heaven for climate, but hell for community.

If your mindset is "salvation," I'll take my chances with the damned, thanks.

Great personal testimony! Briliant witnessing of your "faith!" Where do I sign up for YOUR religion?

yuck.

But this comment won't ever be published; you're too sure you're right(eous).

FIENDS of Albuquerque Tribune

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

Sigh.

To the yahoo group:

I will not be participating.

1) The meeting notification I received specifically requested volunteer journalists. When I got to the meeting, journalists were not required, even though, from the articles submitted and announced at the meeting, few were actual, hard news.

2) When I said I couldn't commit to serving as a co-editor, the facilitator insisted, repeatedly, that I do it, anyway, even as another member kept telling him, "she said, 'no.'"

3) When the printer suggested bundling the trial balloon in with New Mexico Voice for distribution, the meeting facilitator laughed, without explanation. I can only surmize he thought it ridiculous to be associated with a Queer-friendly paper. I write for New Mexico Voice. They pay me. They actually publish news. It's not funny.

4) Whether or not it would look formal enough, friends of the trib could have a blog, website or ACTIVE Yahoo (or other email) Group, right now, with news & other articles, to attract interest. Aside from notification of the next meeting, I've seen nothing from the Yahoo Group. The last time I saw a website for friends of the trib, it didn't even have notification of LAST month's meeting, 48 hours before it was scheduled!

5) When I suggested CCNS as a news source on nuclear weapons, someone asked me to explain what that was. Before I could finish my explanation, I was interrupted and told POGO would do. My idea wasn't even considered. What would have been the harm in having TWO news sources, referring to nuclear weaponry, waste, etc.? I can only infer that POGO is preferred as more "one of us" than CCNS, although I can't understand why and don't want to get into a pissing contest about who is more politically correct.

I wish you luck.

"Bodies" at Coronado Mall protest


You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com



I belong to a social group. SOMEBODY had the brilliant idea to see the "Bodies" exhibit. I posted some links & pasted in some stuff from some news stories in a message to her. I also posted it on the group's forum. All I got was crickets.

Then, the UNM Peace List sent this out. So I went back to that group's website, to post the following.

The event has disappeared from the group's calendar. I NEVER heard from anybody there about it.

I wanted to go protest on my own, but was afraid of cops.

I hope I can attend this. WHAT have we COME TO, that the unconsenting DEAD are ENTERTAINMENT for us?????

From the UNM Peace List:

Protest this grave human rights violation in Albuquerque!

The Bodies Human group is showing an exhibit of
plastination of real bodies at the Coronado Center at the
moment. This exhibit is an off-shoot of the better known
Bodies—The Exhibit. The organisers of these exhibits admit
they get the very human bodies that they incorporate into
their exhibits from China but they are not willing to
produce either death certificates or informed consent
forms from the “donors.” This fuels the suspicion that has
already spread internationally that these bodies are very
likely those of executed political and religious
dissidents that the Chinese authorities have sold for
profit to the organisers. If you want more background
information on this, visit http://absnews.go.com/2020, a
link to a 3-month long investigation by the 20/20 team of
journalists. (Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the
box “20/20 Extra” and click on the second video from the
left called “Exclusive: inside the Bodies Exhibit.”)
Further information about the exhibit is on the
http://nobodies4profit.org site. As of today, the organisers of
the Albuquerque exhibit have not responded to requests for
proper information on the bodies they are using.

If you are as outraged about this as we are, this is what
you can do:
• Inform yourself
• Send an email supporting the petition against this and
any other similar exhibits
Send an email to Amanda Lo at aelo@salud.unm.edu
Write “I protest The Bodies Human exhibit” in the subject
line
You can leave the message box blank or include any
questions about the protest or offers of help in this
action
• Watch out for an email early next week about details of
a demonstration in front of the exhibit planned for next
weekend
• Tell your friends
• Write letters to the editors of the Albuquerque
newspapers

Several UNM groups have already signed on to this protest,
amongst others AMSA (the medical student association), the
Peace Studies Department, and Amnesty International UNM.

Go well
