Ok, this is scary. I think I would keep a knife in my pocket just to be safe.
Miss J has cute feet!
I think I would like to try this inside a balloon trick. I can’t imagine what a balloon that size costs!

The 2012 Writer-In-Resident, Maggie Koerth-Baker held a workshop for writing majors. She told us understanding a scientific journal is difficult for most people. To make these journals easier to understand, she edits the articles into layman’s terms.
This workshop gave us first-hand experience in taking the important points of a journal and making it easier to comprehend. Those attending the workshop rewrote a journal into a blog entry format. Koerth-Baker had worthy tips on blog writing and how blogging can lead to employment as a writer.
Koerth-Baker also listed important blog writing tips and facts.
Koerth-Baker has the amazing ability to take scientific mumbo-jumbo and write it as an understandable magazine article. She makes it look easy, but after participating in the workshop, I realize this type of professional writing is difficult and can be very dry. Koerth-Baker was able to make this workshop fun and interesting.
Spartan article ~P.
You know how they say family will always be there for you?
Well it’s a crock of shit depending on what family members you are talking about. I know outside family sees Walt differently than us insiders. Get over it. Auntie Jane doesn’t read my blog anymore. Truth hurts and that was just about her brother. Maybe she’s afraid I will write about her…
Not only is my father forcing my mother to move to Shippensburg, he is pushing at least 3 of his 4 children so far away from him that he might as well move to China. We don’t want to speak to Walt and he knows it. He doesn’t think he is “Sam’s best friend” anymore.
Us three, who have been very active in our mothers life, (and I can speak for us 3 we are in agreement) we don’t want her to move at all.
Now I learn from Mom, that Walt is using Delauter’s A1 Moving Helpers to move them to Shippensburg, PA. That is near the moon in my eyes…Sam’s and Susan’s eyes also.
We want mom to stay here. Until the house sells, I’m not sure why Walt is taking everything and moving.
Dear ole Walt uses the moving company that his daughter is half owner of knowing the disaster divorce she is involved in with the other owner…you know…even if it’s for free it pisses me off. Because everything that needs to be taken care of, before anyone will buy the house, has been paid for with Sam’s money. I’m not saying Sam is great with handling his money. Sam needs to tear up this power of attorney Dad has for him. Sam asked me in the past to be his POA and I said yes. Suddenly Walt took Sam and became the POA.
Sam needs a POA that is in his best interest. Not Walt.
It’s a huge disaster in Crider land and we each have our own little mess. Suz needs to get a job asap, but has been with mom everyday while she recovers from bowel surgery. I would be very sore if someone cut part of my bowels away.
This was a minor surgery in my Mom’s world. I love my mom like you wouldn’t believe….she was a great mom while I was growing up. I have amazing memories with my mom, my friends from school, the neighbors….Dolores Theresa Crider also known as Lorrie, was the bomb as a mom. Funny, pretty, cooked everyday, loved my friends, was easy to get along with and had a wonderful laugh. She is still that woman, but very worn down over the years. Not only her body, but her sense of self. Walt will do that to a person. She should have left years ago….but she didn’t and now she feels she can’t. It doesn’t have anything to do with love. She said he came back from Vietnam a different man. End of story. She filled her life with her children….Walt was there while we grew up. Mom wanted us around….Walt, not so much.
Anyway..
It seems as though Walt and John have to be buddies. They are both so self-centered it’s no wonder they still chat. John doesn’t do things for free. Hell I had to pay the company to move Tesla and me! John wanted me to pay cash….there’s a post about it somewhere. I wound up writing a check to the company and not the employee who worked for me with the move.
Ok, I’m calmer now. Edit, post…call Mom back.
The two main men I am tied to are royal pain in the ass.

Dear Heather,
Trying to talk to you is a joke because you don’t make any sense. Sorry to tell you, John still loves me. I know you would like to think otherwise. I thinks it’s a touch sweet that he still cares so deeply. Don’t beat yourself up over Heather. I might have been wife #2 but you are girlfriend…..hmmm #12 or so. Maybe someday you can believe he loves you. You claim I’m all about money…I’m all about ending this divorce with fairness. I didn’t come into this marriage with John empty-handed. So shut your mouth girlfriend….you only know what he tells you. You really think he’s going to tell you anything that doesn’t make him sound good?! Like he’s not going to tell you that he thought I looked cute on Easter. That would crush you….
I don’t want to talk to you about Tesla’s clothes. Her father should be supplying her clothes. You don’t need to buy Tesla clothes. If you want to pay for something, pay me some rent for living in my house.
I don’t know why you showed up for the last 5 minutes of soccer. It was over…and when Tesla is upset and telling her father she wants to go with mother, don’t interupt Tesla to say, “You’re going home with us. We are going to play games and have fun!” You sound pathetic trying to cheer up a little girl who just wants more time with her mom.
As I have learned from many people, you can’t mind your own business. Eventually I won’t have to deal with you. Either when Tesla lives with me or John breaks up with you. (or you find a reason to break up with him. I don’t see that happening as you need my house to live in….)
I signed the stupid paper stating John was allowing me to have Tesla from 4 PM on Easter Sunday until soccer tonight. What I don’t understand is why Tesla couldn’t wear her Easter dress for pictures with Dale and I and then change clothes afterwards. Nope, Heather said to “go buy your own dress for Tesla!”
The dress was a hand-me-down from one of Heather’s kids. You know, the kids that are not to talk to me but still do and I have no control over it.
So, instead of just sharing the dress on Tesla’s behalf with everyone on Easter, Heather dressed Tesla in this. Rabbit tail and all.
John said I have to talk to Heather about clothes. No matter who I must talk to, why would you put that on Tesla and rubber band them to stay up? TT wears a size 8….not 16-18. I was so pissed…. Heather doesn’t want to write me a letter (unless maybe her lawyers do it for her) and doesn’t want a taped meeting. Here is her message to me on John’s cell. “when u would like to have a 2 way conversation. u may call me on the home phone. heather.” What home phone Heather? When I lived there it was 717-244-4949. Do you consider the office number your home number now? I don’t want to talk to you Heather, I want John to handle the things that have to do with Tesla.
Somedays…

First get past the fact Oxpecker is in the title of this cartoon and my post.
Second, the other animal in this episode is hippopotamus, Greek for “Water Horse” and called a hippo. I guess that is close enough to an ox.
Finally, they share a symbiotic relationship. This is close and often long-term interaction between different biological species. (wiki)
I wish Diego spoke more Spanish in the cartoon. I would love to hear him say The “oxpecker pecks the bugs off the back of a hippo to survive. ” The fact that this huge animal depends on a little bird to keep the parasites from eating him to death………..all the hippos keep the alligators away by showing their teeth and making loud noises. If only humans could work together so well. (no bug eating off of each other though…ew!)
Tambien, I am jealous of Dora the Explorer’s amazing mochilla. That chica can pull anything out of that backpack!
Dora is going to help me write my divorce party invitations and she doesn’t even know it. Can’t she just pull them out of the backpack with everything else? If she can fit raincoats, umbrellas, snowboards, and more…surely a divorce party invites, balloons and a cake will fit! I know ella can do it!
Ok…back to studying Spanish with Tesla. We are baking brownies too! She thought she had everything in the bowl. I told her she forgot the egg. Her solution… LOL
So many topics in one blogpost!
Adios mi amigos,

The Easter Bunny stopped by my home last night. Didn’t leave ANY candy, only balloon shrapnel!
How many way can I find to title a post about balloons? I’ve decided to start a Balloon Category. 🙂
