The Lotus Touts must leave your hands in 6 MINUTES. Otherwise you will get a very unpleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don't have a pet, please pass this to those who do.
Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog Calypso decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk . Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.
Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.
Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that 'It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it.'
This Snopes site gives the following information: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/c
Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called ' Theobromine'. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of th eobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.
This was a post made from another site I attend and all I have to say -- the subject header says it all.
Howard Stern show went to Harlem and asked people who they were voting for, but gave them McCain's platform represented as Obama's. They even went so far as to ask them if they approved of Obama's choice of Palin as VP.
Listen for yourselves....

Yeah, sticking with the sheep comment. So, they want to vote for Obama, but believe in McCain's platform. And they are so informed that Obama is running with Palin. Interesting...

Shocker.
Well, it was last Friday, the day after my last post. His roommate invited me out (I know, weird) to hang out with her, Dave and some friend of theirs. Only she and this friend didn't show up, I did, however, with my friends and Dave was there. Evening went well until he misunderstood a situation, he bitched at me and when it was proved that he misread what happened was I apologized to? No. He remained pissed off at me. So, I fired off an email the next morning that said thus:
I'm at a loss as to what to say right now. Usually we hang out and we have a great time. However, the past few times we've seen each other it's left me standing there confused, upset and even hurt. Like I said Wednesday I'm sorry if it seemed as though I was pushing for you to meet my family. It wasn't a big deal to me. To me it was just a 'hi' and to you it could've been something completely different. I can only guess what it was over, but I would rather hear you tell me/write to me about what happened. Then we have last night where we were having a good time (or at least I was) one minute and then you drive off leaving me standing in a parking lot.
From past (and current) experience if I'm doing something or saying something that irritates you you don't hold back and tell me. However, right now it's the exact opposite. Obviously, there is something going on or you have something to say and aren't saying it. Well, at least that's what it looked like last night in Papa's parking lot and then in my drive way. I know things are hard, there's probably so much stuff going on in your head right now and I'm sorry if I'm adding any undo pressure and stress to the situation. It's never been my intention. First and foremost, I'm your friend and if there is something weighing in on you and you need to talk about it I want to help. I mean I may not have the world's best advice, but when it matters most I listen and do my best.
I just have this sinking suspicion that I'm the problem. If I am tell me, I'm a big girl and I can take it.

Never got an email response. But I saw him that night at work (he was back from vacation) and he had the hurt/punished puppy dog look on his face. He said kind of quiet, "Howdy." And I said, "Hey." And kept walking. And so last night I call him to see if wants to hang out and get no phone calls. I've been emailing him like normal (he likes getting daily emails -- he's said so repeatedly and misses them when he doesn't get them), however after not calling me back last night I flared and did a verbal bashing to my bedroom and any spirit guide that was listening.
If this is where this was supposed to lead when Dave entered my life I wouldn't have opened myself up at fucking all. I've had friend after friend abuse me and my kindness, leave me battered and bruise in the trust department, who has hid things and lied to me. I didn't need a man to come into my life and do the very same fucking thing to me. Not that he's lied, but I didn't need my heart beat on. I really didn't.
And so, I emailed him today with the thought in the back of my head that this is his final chance. He needs to fucking open up to me or I've had it. I'm not going to be his abuse puppet that he can master when he feels like playing with me. So, I said this:
I take it I'm in the naughty corner, again? Or maybe I'm just assuming things that aren't true. I'm not sure, because I'm sort of in the dark over here. Have I done something wrong since the last time I've asked? I honestly don't know if you're mad at me for all that crap from last week or if I'm just reading too much into the situation. I mean normally you're really good about calling me back when I get your answering machine or telling me when you're pissed with something I've done, but lately it seems otherwise. Admittingly, though, you've said you're bad at returning emails and phone calls. It's just that ... I don't know. I can only sit here and think well maybe this is the reason he didn't call back and it boils down to that you're upset with me for some reason. Or maybe you're done hanging out with me. Maybe you've come to the conclusion that I'm not as fun as you thought or that I'm more annoying than you originally gave me credit for. I honestly don't know the reason. But if you don't want to hang out anymore let me know and I can stop bugging you to spend time together. However, I'm your friend and I'll keep emailing you for as long as you want me to. I just need to know what is going on inside that head of yours so I can stop making assumptions which most likely are the wrong or right ones.

And if by chance I am way off on this entire email ... I get off early tonight (9pm) and if you want to do something let me know (call my phone and leave a message)...
