He just wants to be held and cuddled I think. hard to goto bed though. Ok that was 2nd bottle and 3rd diaper in 1 hour. Sigh. He does love the night.

Something I should have done to, but he was once again hungry. Really I do not mind feeding him at all but this every 1-2 hrs at times does get tireing. then he goes for 4. sigh. Dr vist wed we wll be discussing it.

Well he finally crashed. Took a while. Like 5 hours. We are going to a birthday party tonite for my favorite 2 year old so he should get lots of holding and cuddleing i have a feeling. Shame to overshadow her on birthday but she is to young to really care I bet. Boy he does love that swing though.

"to dream perchance to sleep"

Well we actually got an hour or two of sleep at staggered times. I had a wierd ass dream were Dad came back and approved of Eli. Very strange and wiered me out a bit. it is just so damn hot in here so we arnt sleeping when we can. growl. the wether shows days in the 80 and almost 90 for a week more. My god, what a time for a heat wave. It cools down at night but no wind so we just radiate. Nuts. ok Mom is feeding the noisy but cute monster so I get to crawl back to bed for 20 mins till he wants bottle #2

Well someone was fussy so we went out to Wally World and food shoping. Got him some new bottles and soem liquid formula.. It is imposable to mix 3 oz with the powder and that is what he is wanting now at a sitting. And we got food and finally some tongs so we can lift the stuff out of the boiling water. Also got food and all kinds of stuff. And I had to et some cd's so I could burn some stuff. I would have more pictures up but my friend I stole the camera from stole it back. Sigh I really need to just go buy one but cash is WAY tight for oh, the next 18 years.

Sorry this has basically been all baby for the last few days, but well, deal with it. I registered a few new domains and soon I will put up a blog for me again. The chuck3 blog is being used for how much food and stuff, real boring so don't even bother to go look.

Granny is a riot. She is so excited cause if she sticks her head on one side of the crib and talks to him and then moves to the other side and talks his head will flop over and follow her. Seems a tad early for him to be able to turn his head but he has got it completly down pat.

Wow long morning. Went yardsaleing with Granny and we got my hair cut and visted all kinds of people. Great fun. so now we are going to have a late lunch and try and catch up on sleep a bit maybe. in theory.. sorta.

Ok well we had an ok morning, A little spit up but not bad. Right now he is in his swing sleeping like a, well, baby. And we are slowly gearing up for our next major outing. A haircutt and a visit. And a yard sale on the way. Oops I spoke to soone, someone just woke up.

Long day. Had all kinds of visitors and our first outing. Betsy came by with a wonderfull Lion. Incredably soft and wonderfull. Then we dove up to my work for a few mins and then came home and recieved My Bro and his new wife to be and their family. Was afraid for a bit I was going to have to use a pry bar to get Eli back from Sharon, but crisis averted. hehe. Eli has been a bit fussy but also had his first really awake and looking around time he spent a good 45 mins with both eyes open and exploring all the new things to see. He is still eating like a pig but the nurse said give him all he wants. We are on a definate 2 hour sched now. Oh yeah. He also got Granny with a nice spray when she dared to change him. Now I have to leave him for a bit with Granny and go up and work for an hour. Sigh. But it is $ and if I don't have it comeing in we are gonna notice it. Tomarrow we go for our first haircut. Well i do and he gets to come along and watch. So off I go cause as soon as I leave I can come back.

Well I got a few hours of sleep finally. And he ate a bunch more. I am gonna cal the nurse this morning and find out if we should just give him a bottel of water now and then instead. Right now we are about to do a major boil and steralize things. Then a fairly busy day Mom is meeting friends for lunch and I start work at noon. Cept I am not.. oing to make a bunch of trips and devide my time tween here and there for the next 24.

hmm Well one of us understands 4 hr feeding, shame he doesnt. Welli have yet to get back to sleep. He has been restless since 1. He just polished off an other 3/4 of an oz. Gready little bugger. But I think he has finally went down (cross fingers). Not that I really mind I had a nap and I am good to go for 5-6 hours if needed.

I am still smokeing. No where NEAR him of course. Yes I know, I have just decided to talbe it till I feel better. Most of the stress is now over with. I know some people think this is the stress full part but I am ok with this stuff. So anyways, I am just not going to feel guilty about it for a few days and then I will stop. It is stupid for me to do it NOW when my body is so stressed out, one thing at a time and if I get any sicker I am not going to be alot of good to him.
So anyways, Don't even bother to tell me, I know. But we will work on it next week and let this week be settle in time.
But thank god for the baby monitor, damn handy to be able to hear him all the time if you go outside.

"Honest Eli it does get better from here"

Well he woke up at 1 ish and had most of a bottle, then 20 mins later finished it off mostly. That is 7.25 in about 12 hours. Not to shabby for the little guy. The Swing is WONDERFULL and he loves it. We havnt got a chair yet but maybe tomarrow we will just go get one, he likes to be rocked alot. The blog is going to be mostly baby oriented for a few days/weeks (years). I have a seperate little blog that is nothing but when he is changed and how much formula he is takeing. Figure if the Dr. ever wants to know we have it all ready. Still useing the Enfamil bottles the hospital gave us but tomarrow we are going to switchover to powedered and save these for trips and so forth. So handy to already be room temp and steril till opened. He is not big on waiting for things yet it isafe to say. Kinda like me in fact huh?

Well he is sleeping. He decided he was hungry and got an extra meal at 6 tonite. Now he is sleeping fairly well. I on the other hand keep getting up to check on him. My absess is not really better and I am pretty miserable. But we will overcome. Tomarrow is going to be nuts but we will make it through it I think. Ok well bed attempt # 5

Hey THANKS who ever bought hte Diaper Champ. I liked that little thing. Had a really neat way of dealing with Diapers. And the other ones were all ones that had to have special bags and I really don't think that is nessisary. Anyways, THANKS. and do tell who you are so I can write it down and send out cards.. HAHAHA like I am ever gonna send out cards. AHAHAHA Oh well I might.

Well all is well now I guess. I am still stressed and in a lot of pain from a damn abscess, but hey we are here and safe and happy. Before we left the hospital I stopped and had them send a small thing of flowers up to D with a card just saying Thanks. Don’t know if it will be accepted in the manner it was sent or not but then I don’t really care. So he had a bottle at noon, and then puked 1/3 of it all over me since then he has been sleeping happily. So I took a nap too. Pretty soon now he will wake himself up I will bet and want to be changed and loved a bit. He is a riot and so like his grandfather already. Almost always is making little groans and mumbles and gurgles to himself. But that is ok. His crib is at the end of my desk till he is old enough to yank all the wires off and I can see him as I sit here. I did a brief redo of the Babies R Us list so it makes more since now.Buy Eli Stuff Ok end of blatent plug. Oh who ever wants to be really loved we do need the diaper thingy also. Anyways, as good as I am at holding out my hand and saying give here, I am not in the mood so no high pressure sale. (gimmi gimmi gimmi)

Well last night alone.
We are ready I think. Still need things though, so do not despair. ona redo the need list in a few days I think. But anyways, hard to get a grip on him comming home and being here as of tomarrow. But t is good. Very good.. Saw Dawns parent and son in the hospital they went right by with out a nod hardly. Sigh. Oh well i tried. We spent a good 6 hrs in there today through 2 feedings and all that. He is very relaxed and doing fine. One small medical prob but nothing big and we can deal with it later. Hot as hell in here cause we had everything open all day. last day of that too. Windows closed for a while now and AC. So tomarrow we bring him home. Got a set of clothes all picked out and ready and pictures will be taken I am sure. Ok well i still fell ike complete crap so going to crash soon.

Ok. the Washer Dryer are here, they were early and so were we so all worked out well. So we are gearing up to go into the hospital. My stomach is WAY beyond pissed and is basicaly not happy and I have a tooth ake. The two sure signs I am way to stressed out. I knew I should drank alot last night but I figured it was a good time to stop. I guess there is a law that says the Baby can npt eave the hospital before the mother unless she ok's it so hopefully she will and we will be just about done with haveing to worry about her oking stuff for good. The legal paperwork has not been filed but it should be here in a few days and once we have him home I am not so worried. So i guess we are gonna bring him some of his own clothes to wear and go spend the day or most of it with Eli.
The name for those of you who missed it is Charles Elihue Pierce III.
But we are going to call him Eli. Unless mom changes her mind AGAIN and we go with Chip. I like Eli though and it is differnt enough to be good but is still part of his name. So we are just waiting mostly for my stomach to setle and then we will go.

Well today was interesting to say the least.
We had been told a month ago that she was scheduled for a C-section this morning, and then a few days ago we were told Nope, gonna do natural birth so we have no clue when we will call you. Well that was a big ass lie. Cause she had a c-section at 8 am as scheduled but we had no idea. Except we had some cause a sneakey friend called and found out she was admitted. So I knew she was at the hospital. Anyways, spent the day trying to get the lawyers in touch with each other, to no avail. Mine was wonderful and helpful and really great. But hers was no where to be found. Since we KNEW it was probably happening today and since we were lied to I was thinking the worse and slowly freaking out all morning. So. We went fishing. Spent the whole afternoon out on the bay catching fish and trying to forget everything.. Like I could but we tried. Anyways about 5 ish all hell broke loose and the phone went nuts. Her Mom called and was pretty unhelpful but did give me all the info she thought she could and was civil so bonus points for her. Then the lawyer called and said same thing. And so forth. The phone went nuts for 10 mins basically. So anyways, we then went right in and hopped in the car and went to the hospital. She had signed so far at least the paperwork saying I could see him and had control over his medical decisions so we sat with him and I fed him and burped him and we played and sat and so forth. We spent a good 2 + hours in there and all was well. He has red hair right now and blue eyes. Nice and plump but not looking like Winston Churchill much so that was great. He actually was pretty cute. Very small but large at the same time. Anyways, we made 200 phone calls and went over to the Great Lost bear for some food cause we were both starveing.
I should be able to take him home Thurs Morn ish and so far all is great. I am gonna do the morning stuff tomorrow and then bag it for a few days. Think I am also gonna bag the weekend work this week. The nurses were wonderful and we got nothing but good news so far. Tomorrow I am going to meet with the social worker hopefully and gt things signed. Also planning on throwing a snit fit and making sure that Eli’s the center of things now not Dawn. She can get stuffed. If the social worker has a problem doing that we will have her replaced. We need one who is looking after HIM not her. Also will hopefully meet with the pediatrician and get all that set up. Should be loads of fun let me tell you.

Was a very stressful day and I really can’t wait till the last bit of paperwork is done and I no longer have to worry.

Oh also got a call from the Police in S. P. saying I can have my gun back (see May 12th) so that is all done with thank god.

So folks, not positive yet but looks like it it going to actually happen. And once I take him home its game over. No WAY am I gonna sleep tonight I am afraid, but I might get the one last night of drinking heavily while I can.

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life"
Only it is not cause it might be tomarrow or someday next week.

Well today is the day the Baby was supposed to come, but since she is in theory trying for natural birth it might be anytime or a few days or anything. GROWL.
Slept like crap and I am exausted already. grug.
Plans for the day include fixing the Imacs I didn't yesterday and bringing a load of stuff to the barn. Such fun should not be had.

Well we ordered a washer dryer. Way to much cash I am afraid but they will last a long time. Finally went to Sears. Other people had ones the same for less cash but NO ONE had any. Best buy, Home Depot, well everywere. Very annoying. I do not want to wait for weeks while they get some in stock. So anyways, should be here Wed. Yeah.

What a nice day. Baby was going to be due tomorrow but it could be anytime. But that is ok I am ready. Missing a few small items and a few big ones but not stuff I have to have right away. Still worried about the thermometer, I think I need one but not sure if I should get an in ear one or not or if there is a better type. Mom has reorganized the whole kitchen with my blessing so it now makes some sense.. Woohoo. We are going to go out tonight and look at washer-dryers. Ii have a little cash saved so we are gong go spend it and get them in the next few days. Also finally decided on the car issue, I am gonna affix the old Taurus and keep it an other year. Make it a happy camper and get the AC fixed and the motor mount that is making such a clunk. Mom is off knitting with friends so I have a little relax time alone. She is going to get a few hours daily with out me in the mornings but I am not so it is nice to have some down time. House is ready as we can get it I think so all is well just waiting for the call. I set up an account on Guido for mom but think I am going to set up her Imac too and make it a bit happier. It is a few years out of date on most ap’s so she will be excited. It is WARM but I closed the place up and the AC is keeping up, so we should be ok no matter how warm it gets. Going to miss having windows open most of the summer but I want this place to be a regulated temp for the baby and hard to do when the outside temp varies 40 deg a day. Oh and before I forget today is C’s B-day.. One of the few pics I keep on my desk is her and I at her 40th party. Still do not have a camera, digital or anything, and that’s a problem. But life goes on I guess.

Ok well time to work on these Imac’s.. Looks like they are reproducing cause I have 2 exactly the same side by side on the floor.

Ok and also folks, I need to renew my call for Fridge magnets. I had enough with the small fridge but I have a huge one now.. and well I don’t have many. Send me one from your vacation, or your small town, or city or whatever. A few readers sent them in last time I did a shout out but it is time for a new wave.
Chuck Pierce, P.O. box 189 Yarmouth Me 04096

If you need to send it non post office, email me for street address.

On that note UPS just found me.. WOOHOO. And the Baby swing is here. Now I just have to set it up, My god some assembly required. Um define some??? But anyways.. Thanks Gren (LEC) your tha man…

Well Momis here and all is welll. Made some Chowdha for dinner and then had cheescake.

I got bit by a cat yesterday, Like bad. the little bugger stuck his fang right to my wrist bone. it hurts. I washed it and did all the right stuff but it is pretty red now. If it hasn't calmed down by tomarow I might have to go see the damn Dr. and worry about it being infected.. Grrr. So I think we are gonna have an early night and try and get some sleep. Cause I for one am wiped out. Got the Cable run in the wall, but not the cat 5 yet.. Tomarrow in theory. I have to find my 45 connectors first. Ok well I am tired and sluggish. We bought all kinds of food and the fridge is in (woohoo) so I am done for the day I think. pooof.

Well also today I get my new fridge. Well it is new to me at least. It has been a LONG time since I had a full fridge to myself. I can't wait. this little one is absolutly useless to me. So i am excited. Got this place looking good finally. Also got a MyTv2Go thingy.. so I can watch tv on quido. hey the price was right, nada. And it is fairly cool. No audio yet cause Guido is Digial and it isnt but we can fix that. Either buy a nice thing or I am probably just gonna use my old speakers for it. First off though we need to run the cat 5 and cable in here. Haveing it all over the floor is pissing me off. But it is progress baby, yes yes it is.

I am really fucking sick of being a multiple rapist, sex offender, child rapist, wife beater, date raper, even worse of all a politician.
I talked to the social worker today and yet again I felt the conversation revolved around why did you do what you did. Just once I wish someone would assume I didn’t do anything to her. I have no idea what she is saying, or if she even is saying things, but I keep getting the feeling from one person after an other that I must have done something very very wrong for her to be so SCARED to get anywhere near me.
I really am sick of it. I mean it would be one thing if it was some person I had only met a few times…. But this is a woman I loved deeply and wanted to marry and have children with. And who now treats me worse than a leper.

So anyways I talked to the social worker. She was incredibly careful to give me absolulty no information except generalities ok I am sure she has to not give out personal information but I am just so sick of being the “bad” boy.

I am trying so hard to only think good thoughts and to try and remember for the good of the child I have to be nice and always keep my mind open to her wanting to see him and smiling and letting this all go if that happens. But Christ.
All I can say is, this journal is not going to go anywhere. And someday, if he wants he will be able to find it.

"It is damn hard to come up with something to say first thing every morning."

Well, slept ok but had nightmares about Mom most of the night. Not her beating me up (this time) but her being sick and so forth.
Today should be fun, working as usual for the next 36 hours straight, but should talk to the social worker hopefully today and find out hopefully some more info on what is happening and all that. Also should get teh draft of the paperwork for D to sign that gives me custody and all that. I hope the net is working up N or I willnot be happy.
Then Sat afternoon i am gonna clean the carpets here and put everything in it's final place I think. Oh well it is not like I have much to do is there? Sigh.. Oh well it will keep my mind occupied.
Also got to set up the vcr to record the last World cup game since the US is prob gonna get their ass handed to them on a stick.
Did I mention Mom brought all kinds of more baby stuff so I have like 20 more washing loads to do. Gonna be a fun weekend.

I have a Bible and I know how to use it.

I have a Bible cause Mom brought it for me from her home.
I have a family Bible that is over 25 years old and a little bit tattered.
I have a Family Bible that no one ever wrote their family into.
I have a Bible that used to be my Aunt Ruth’s.
I have a Bible with family pictures scattered through it of people I do not know.
I have a Bible.
No one can say that when my Son was born I did not even have a Bible in the house.

OK then. Put a call into the social owrker.. no call back yet. Sigh. Did some cleaning and organiseing.. And now I am getting into my thursday is my friday routine. Gona go shoping for food and a damn VHS tape for XFR. Return the dvd's that are a week late.. oppps. and get organised. I might even go buya book. Decided I am gonna have to wait till i get a check in till i go shoping for washer dryer. Payed off most of my CC's but I am cash poor again.
So food, then hopefully a nap. And don't even consider giveing me any crap. i wont sleep friday and friday night at all. Anyways, it is the best way to get people to call me, they allways call after I fall asleap.

Well we have some progress. WOOHOO. Ok so here is the revised info. First off the date is not set like I was told.. ok fine. I now am told she is going to not go directly to a c-section but going to try natural first. Great, no worries. I also now no the Hospital and it is the one I am most comfortable with and that is awesome. I have a name of a social worker at the hospital who D has been talking to, so that I will get on right away.
Talked with my Lawyer and we are going to do all the paperwork and have it ready and already “lawyered” before hand.. That should make it much easier. I am also going to not push for anything like child support now so that there will be nothing to upset anyone at the last minute. I have been told that her Mom will call me when she goes into labor or they schedule a c-section or anything but they do not want me in the delivery room. Yea, like I am gonna argue about that a lot.
So in almost all respects good news. She has not changed her mind or anything so we are doing good. I wish we had an exact date, but hey, crap happens. So.. on we go.

BTW I twisted on one friend today and before I blow up at anyone else, let me say this. If you think she is going to wig out at the last minute, fine. Please STFU about it. I have already thought and had nightmares about almost everything that can happen so I do NOT need to be reminded over and over. Be positive or I will make your life a living hell. Nuff said?? (Mentioning no names at all.. DOC.)

So today is find a washer dryer day if I can. Got the latest Uncle Henrys and starting to look in it NOW.

What a whacked out day. Got only 1/3rd the cleaning i wanted done but I did bleach the crap out of the kitchen floor. I mena solid pure clorox and swirl it around and let it sit for a few hours.. Woohoo. Went over to Glens for a real nice dinner and had fun. Also got a call today from a friend I havnt talked to in over 10 years I would say. Been a long as time. Of course I have NO time for a few more days. hehe Still no info from the lawyers, may they rot in hell. I am wiped out, dead on my feet so I am gonna hop in the shower and crash. hmm screw it I will shower in the morning. Night all.

Well. Some information is better than no info, but not alot better.

Dawn's father answered the phone when I tried once again to call to drop off the stuff of hers. I told him why I was calling and he said bring it right over so I did. So that is done. I also told him that there was information we needed and Dawn needed to speak to her lawyer. I also mentioned that they could have as much or as little access and info as they wanted.
More minor small talk, I did not get the feeling that anything was good or bad. He was pretty careful to not give me any information.
About only thing new he mentioned was that she went on maternity leave as of today and that she had toximia??? Guess I got to look that up. So anyways, not good info but not bad.

What a day.
I went fishing. And drum roll please... I cought fish. I cought about 1/2 a dox mackeral and 2 of the worlds most UGLY fish. We took pictures so you can see.. once that John sends em to me. So tomarrow hopefully I will have pics and you will see what I mean.
Other than that, my lawyer found her sorta lawyer and they basicaly have no info. D is no longer at work and not answering her phone as of last email. So Her so claled lawyer is going to continue to try in theory. I guess D has not even signed the thing to make her lawyer officially her lawyer. Sigh this is just so frigging nuts.
Update, her father answered the phone finally so i am going to bring over all the stuff she asked me to NOW.

See how this goes...

Well in the concept of keeping myself out of jail I am going fishing for the day. Or at least most of it. Gonna go out on Casco bay and see if we can not catch fish.. oh wait we proved that last time. Anyways, still no news from lawyers and rather than go nuts about it I am gonna go play on the bay and might even drink heavly. No probably not. Sigh. it is foggy as hell out there so should be fun.
And a big Hi to Wonko the Sane.

WOOOHOOO Someone out there deserves a big hug and all that. And I hope it isnt the landlordy that I am pissed at. Someone ordered a Swing for the little guy.. And it is a cool swing too. Got some neat stuff and the songs are only annoying as opposed to most of the others that made me look for baseball bats. That is so cool cause that was one of the things I had decided I wanted but could have lived with out. Anyways, THANKS who ever you are, and I have a feeling it will get used. I would repost the URL for the baby registry but that would be kinda tacky so I wont.

I just spent 6 months working mostly day and night for him for free and he had better learn to not give me shit over something that costs 2$ when he is suppose to suppy them anyways. I was just to flabbergasted to get mad last night really, but it has been boiling.

Hopefully I get all the info I need today, cause yes this is it..

"Growl"

I slept ok except the most of the night that I stared at the ceiling. Sent off an email to my lawyer at 3 or 4 or some ungodly time. And i actually watched the stupid soccor game (football to the rest of you) where the US kicked ass and for the first time went to the 8 in the world cup. Poor XFR the tape ran out like 7 mins from the end but nothing big happend after it ran out. Damn you know the US was at I think 700 to 1 for the world cup. Scary. Someone is gonna be real happy if they put 100$ on it. Well my stomach is well and truly pissed, but that is not exactly a suprise. Hell nothing suprises me anymore. Screw it I am gonnahop in the shower and go on the run.

The problem with TV is you find things like Materinty Ward. Sigh. And all I can do is stare at the ceiling and think that she is going to change her mind and keep the baby. Monday is 8 days, and I do not even know the hospital. Red flag folks, that is one big ass red flag. The crib is set, I have diapers, I have bottles I have I hope most everything I need, but no baby. This is a problem. And the sad part is there is not a damn thing I can do about it. Tomarrow. If I do not get some answers tomarrow we go to drastic measures. I have respected her wish not to see or hear from me. Tuesday it all changes if I do not have answers.

What a pain in the ass. XFR wants me to tape the soccor game at 2:20 am tomarrow.. Grr so I go to get a tape and it is closed. Sigh. I am gonna try and improvise but he might be SOL.

On the idea of Fathers day I had one more thing I was percolating on and Shelley just made it come to the forefront. My dad and I do differ in a different way. And this amusing thought came to me today, I am actually less bloodthirsty now than Dad was.
Ok now this needs setting up. When I was young we had a garden, and well it was instant death for a squirrel to get near it. They would die of lead poisoning from real small pieces of lead going very fast. So I learned to hunt young and did it a lot, my brother on the other hand had next to no interest. Well now it is much later and My bro is after squirrels and I sat and watched a chipmunk at the bottom of my stairs today. The little bugger got to within 4 ft or so, and you know what I did? I went up and got some caned corn for him. He didn’t eat it but the point is I used to just shoot all vermin on site, now I am feeding the buggers. So anyway, that being said I just killed like 50 ants on the kitchen counter. Damn it the Xfr was s lob, he left crumbs and so forth everywhere. Now I will NEVER get the award for the cleanest person around, like not even close. But I have been cleaning a lot and got the place crumb free. So damn it why are there ants NOW and not before. It is pissing me off. So I can only conclude that my bloodlust has not faded to insects. My god do you think someday I would put in ant have-a-heart traps? My god, the idea scares me..

Other thoughts, I was roaming today and worried cause I had not heard form Shelley for a few days so I followed a saved URL to match.com. ok now I really have no idea what I think about this. I never thought I would consider posting an ad or even looking at them unless I was really bored. No insult intended to any and all but most people on there seem so desperate and well I can pick up girls at a Wake. So anyways, for grins and giggles I did a search and damned if I didn’t find one that interested me. But I think my life is a tad bit to hectic right now for me to be paying 25$ to subscribe just so I can send one email. Anyone got an match.com account? Send this person an email telling her to read here. If she is to scared then that’s cool, lord knows I would be. llusion1973 is her name. I liked her ad and was amused. Oh and tell me please, or post here in the comments that you did so 200 people wont. But really if you have an account I would appreciate it. So I guess my ideas on people who respond and post classified ad’s needs to be revised, don’t it.

This post dedicated to the Letter L, Short for Love, Lust, and Loneliness. And or Lordy Lordy Lordy.
Also dedicated to Shelley cause I can.

Well spent most of the day doing nothing but mopeing. I do miss my Dad in a weird way. Or at least in my own way.
Alot of people have nice stories about fathers and things they did and did not do. Some touching, some sad, and some funny. I only hope my Son will always know that when I was asked if I wanted him I never hesitated at all. My only concern was if I could/can do a worthy job. I guess that is the best thing you can pass of to your children, knowing that they are what is most important. I have many pleasant memories of Dad getting ashtrays and aftershave for Fathers day and always acting badly like it was just what he wanted. I always felt that Dad was someone doing a bad job of playing a father, but he TRIED. I only hope I can learn from his efforts.

9 Days folks, and I still do not know what hospital or time or stuff. The lawyers are frigging playing phone tag with each other. Still. I will never understand how she was/is able to give up her child, but thank you anyways. Cause it was the nicest thing she ever did for me. And if she changes her mind at the last minute we are going to have to find out if Maine has a death penalty or not..

"Happy Fathers day."

Well, the 2nd year we have no had Dad on Fathers day. And the last year if all goes well that the day will not have a new meaning for me. So I have decided to dedicate today to doing shit I would do if Dad was here. So I am gonna be a busy little beaver and started off bright and early this morning.

Did I mention the XGF bought 1 bag each of Luvs, Huggies, and Pampers? So i can try em all out. heheh That is just so funny. At 68 per bag I have like allmost 3 weeks worth of diapers alreaady. Soo the things we are waiting for Mom to decide on are Kitchen tabel, round or square. Nickname Chip or Eli. And the Bottles cause we are both gonna be clueless I figure. What else Oh I also bought 2 packs of cloth diapers. I think I can remember how to fold them... Gonna make a major effort to go see my Bro today. Not sure if it is gonna happen or not but I am gonna make a good try.

Well we did not find what she wanted.. A chair for me.. We found chairs but not one I liked alot under 700$, But she went nuts in the medicine place and got me like all kinds of crap includeing shampoo wiped 3 bags of diapers and so forth.. And most importantly a Rubber Ducky. Hey if the kid is lucky by the time he wants to play with it I won't have worn it out.
The kid, we need to stop calling him that but Mom has the final word on the nickanem of choice. It is down to Eli and Chip.. we shall see.

Hmm the XGF is on her way over. Says we are going shoping??? Ok no clue what she is up to but I hope it is something nice and I am starved anyways. So it works for me. So, what else. Burned a few DVD's and Cd's cleaning up stuff, and organiseing. Sigh guess I should put more clothes on than sweats. Sigh. poof.
posted by Chuck Pierce 4:04 PM 0 comments

 
Well put away all the kid clothes. Figured out what drawers are for what and so forth. Even folded a few things, not my normal M.O.. Folding that is, if ya are just gonna wear it then why fold it? Yeah I know my guyness is showing again. Talked to my sister for about an hour on da phone. She was in a venting mood so I let her, her life is screwy right now. I am very good and don't say you have no clue what screwy is. hehe. What else, made all the beds and got them set up. Mom has dealers choice on either the blowup bed or the waterbed, but I think she will want the blow up. Still ahvnt went and picked my stuff in S.P. but I will it is on my list of to-do's today.

No real interesting thoughts I am sorry to say. My mind is already melting, 10 days, my god. Just let there be the right number of fingers and toes.. Please.

"Got to be a joker he just do what he please"

Grug. Awake and alive least sorta. I just never sleep well when I am working. Well today is 10 days. And I think I am about as ready as I can get except for the stuff I have been saving for Mom to help with. Gonna go get the last of my stuff from S.P. and clean it up a bit today since I have to be out of there by midnight. Not a biggy only a few monitors and lots of guns there. I really need to sell off some of my damn guns. I am only gonna keep the ones Dad passed to me and the .45. I have stopped hunting, I don’t even target shoot anymore or compete so I have no need for them all. It is nice to see new faces in the comments section Hi ladies. Welcome and be joyous and all that. I was disappointed that a “Who is Chuck Pierce” epidemic is failing to sweep the blogs circles. But hey I should not complain. Oh and last but not least I knew I should not have eaten most of that bag of cherries, but they were so good. Sigh, this morning it does not seem like such a bright idea.

I need to learn to keep my fingers quiet. Unfortunately I am just not good at that. I expanded my realm of blog reading a few weeks ago. And have even added a few ones since. Not an excessive amount mind you just people who interest me. I just did a quick survey and the girls out number the guys 2 to 3. Hmm what does THAT say about me. Reason this just came up is a blog I have been reading and commenting on.. Oh I forgot to finish the thought, Did I mention I am trying to use the subscriptions feature in IE. Doesn’t work great but I will be damned if it does not work. Sigh. I truly like to have reasons to hate Microshaft but sometimes they do something right.. Sigh. Anyways, It is handy for a few people that only update their sites now and then (Yes YOU Dandy) So anyways, one of the blogs I have been reading did the I guess greatest thing if you are a weird attention hungry guy in the woods of Maine… (heheh) She asked on her site “who is Chuck Pierce” . Ok so I am easy to amuse and I should be used to seeing my name in lights and so forth but I thought it was a cool thing to do. Point is when I roam through other peoples heads via their blogs I should keep my mouth err fingers shut. Then again this might be a movement of people walking into shrinks offices and saying “Shrink, Who IS Chuck Pierce?” and walking out. If 3 people do it they may think it is an organization. Can you imagine , Can you imagine 50 people a day walking into shrinks offices and saying “Shrink, Who IS Chuck Pierce?” and walking out. They may think it is a movement and that is what is. The Who is Chuck Pierce Movement and all you have to do to join is put a link on your page and tell me.

Ok I need to get a life don’t I.

Well made it to work and the Net is working.. WOOHOO. So the great kid wash has started, seems like most of the stuff needs to be washed alone so, it is gonna be a long wash day.
What else, Oh got a call from S.P. Police. They are still waiting on the D.A. to find out if I broke one law.. I didn’t… But the good news is they have decided there is not enough evidence to try me for firing my weapon.. That’s mostly verbatim. Now this pisses me off. Ok it was cool of him to call me and tell me this, but once again, they can’t just say we realized you didn’t do anything. My gun had not been fired in like 8 months so it was a no brainier that I hadn’t fired it. Morons. I just resent it being well we can’t prove it so we are not gonna try you instead of sorry for the time but we guess it wasn’t you. The whole basis that I am guilty until they grudgingly decide they can’t prove it pisses me off. Sigh, I did NOTHING wrong folks, like I said from minute one. Sigh. If you have no idea about any of this look in the archives around May 12th.

So now if the D.A. decides that carrying something out in the open is not concealed it should all go away soon. An very interesting lesson learned. Never assume the Cops are friendly. Sounds weird but up to now I always had assumed if I didn’t do anything there was no reason to be careful what I told the cops.

So what else is going on. I freaked out when I was putting sheets on the waterbed last night, it was all wet under the mattress. OOOPPPs. Not a good sign. But I found the prob, the plug was cross threaded and easily fixed. So progress is being made. I really love the new flannel sheets too. Yea I know summer is coming, I like flannel so deal with it. And I got some non flannel for mom. Who I haven’t heard from but that I assume is a good thing since she wont call unless she has trouble. Nice thing about my family, we are not call every 10 mins folks.

"Smily happy Chuck"

I woke up in a good mood. No CLUE why. Could be that Mom is on her way here. Could be that we are down to 11 days. Could be that I finnally got some sheets for the waterbed so I am no longer sleeping on a Hudson Bay wool blanket. But probably it is because I had wonderfull dreams. Not alot of specifics. I remember "she" had the kids for the weekend.. Wow kids as in plural and a she.. but no name or thought assosiated really. And I remember walking down the road yelling I am the good parent She is the crap parent. Not something I would be likly to do but anyways...
Lawyers played phone tag yesterday all day. So no news on hospital and all that. But if we can get the fine details like the place done I should be takeing my son home in 12-13 days. Nope not ready but in some ways I am so ready. I really am out of my funk a bit this morning. Good cause I was seriously funked.

"Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get? Boney fingers, boney fingers, boney fingers"

well slept like crap mostly and woke up more tired than I went to bed. Was up around 1:30 writeing an email to my lawyer and Shelley was up to so we chatted for an hour or so. No gonna be romantically inclined it looks but she is still fun to talk to and makes me laugh now and then. Who knows she might yet not be able to keep her hands off me.

Ok well today is my friday. Since I work straight through to sat tomarrow today is when I have to do all things fridayish. Fun huh? O)ffered to my lawyer to camp on her lawyers door till we got some answers. Sure way to get nothing accomplished but this waiting is nuts. 10 days and I do not know what hospital, or any details. Heck I do not even know if the littl eguy is healthy and all that. And i am supposed to have my Dr see him in the hostpital, hard when you don't even know which one. ARGGG.

Well Mom's friend shows up today to driveup here with her. Long drive so the ladies will hopefully break it up into 2-3 days. But Mom will be here soon. Yeah.

OK well organised some of the Baby stuff. Lots of warm clothes but missing alot of sleeping clothes. Only got 1-2 and i will bet that is not enough. Gonna give everything a good wash and then lay it allout. Got 2 over the shoulder carryiers, and that is cool so we can go places and not have to carry the car seat. Lots o cleaning to do still though. And lots more throwing away of crap.

This transition into summer is buging me. i am so used to haveing my jacket with me everwhere I go that when it gets warm I forget my wallet is in it and stuff. Done it 2 times now and both have been annoying. Oh well guess I need a brain. Also for some reason the comments are not going to my email like they should. Just started and it is pissing me off. I havnt changed anything so no reason why it would change. Wierd.

So todays big project is to open all the bags and boxes and sort out the baby clothes I have been given and get em all ready to be washed this weekend. Sounds easy but isnt. grr. Mom is going to have so much fun buying Baby clothes, She has no clue. And maybe I will like it too but no signs so far.

Well broke a major cardnial rule of mine... errr 2 actually. I just went down tothe store and got a pack of cigs. And I drove cause it was raining. The bad part was I have had a glass of wine. True I am probably not near the DUI limit but I never drive after drinking anything. Course it is 1/4 mile or so but not the point. Today really affected me. All those Baby things and all the hopefull people buying them. Didn't really help to have the landlordess along. She is really really wonderfull and so much help but I felt like a fish way way out of water. If I was alone I could have at least looked like an idiot by myself. It is so nice of her to help me but it made me uncomfortable at the same time. That and explaining to the dumbass ladie that no need for the mothers name. Christ, I swear I am gonna start to say she is in jail or something... No not really but it is hard to explain in 20 words or less that I am doing this alone and the mother is not part of the picture. Hit me hard. 14 days folks, and then I am not gonna have the luxury of getting plastered. Sigh. But it is for the good and I really am happy, just getting overwhelmed. Hopefully the lawyers will settle some stuff tomarrow. Finnaly found out that the lawyer who called is now HER lawyer so least we can start the ball rolling FINALLY.

Arrrg the damn faucet has of course a differnt connector than the house so I am going to have to solder a new one on. Not a major big deal but none of my solder stuff is here so a larg pain. Sigh. I just can't win. But it is a beutifull faucet and has a goose neck and a single control valve. Also a spray and all that neat stuff. I am just so excited cause I will have so much more room.

Jacko should be coming over tonite. He said 5. At 5:20 I am going to leave if he is not here and not answer his calls. I have way to many things to do to wait for his timezone to catch up with the rest of the world.

Man it is a night for phone calls. My sister has joined the 21st century and bought a cell phone. My MOM bought a cell phone. So now basically the whole family has them and allmost all of them called at the exact same time. So talked with Sis for a bit and waiting for Bro to call back. I hate telling people I am on the other line call back in 10 but it is better than getting my voicemail. And I had no clue when he called that she could call for free after 9 so I thought she was paying for it. Oh well. Not the end of the world.

On the good side though I got the bug zapper working..WOOHOOO. I am an easy man to please, A bug zapper some wine and a pack of cigs and I am entertained for HOURS. As I am wont to say, it is the poor mans TV.

Well just watched the end of Pearl Harbour. I liked it, was not exactly the very best movie I have ever seen but I really liked it. I spent all of Disk 2 watching and cleaning the car seat for the little guy. Was not real dirty but dusty and so forth. I was so pleased they did so much about doolittles raid. It was such a major thing that so many people now adays forget about. Shame he never did much else afterwards of note. Anyways, everyday a little bit more ready.. at least more prepared. Mentally I thinK i am doing ok, but still nervous as hell that he will be healthy and of course that she does not change her mind at the last minute. Mom heads up here in only a few more days but is gonna go visiting for a bit before she lands here. Anyways, wonderfull warm night. And the AC is on in the bedroom so I should be able to fall asleap. I hope.

Grug. That damn VCR being on most of the night killed my sleep some. Yesterday was cool. The dinner turned out to be a thank you dinner for all the help on the house. Got to read Shell's thoughts on yesterday Cynical Life and they were not off line from mine just a differnt perspective.
15 days tomarrow will be 2 weeks. Eggads. Gonna jump start the lawyers this morning. I got so much to do and organise. And some of it I need to know from her, like the hospital and all that. Oh well, awake and moveing and grumpy. Deal with it.

Ok well blogger is now back up.. Yeah. Shell is on her way back home and I think we had a good time. Least I did. Was not incredibly romantic I am afraid but was fun. The Landlordies et all are at work on the house and I purposefully did not introduce Shelley to em, and forgot to tell her why, opps. They are/were freaking out wanting to meet her so I was enjoying the torture of not doing introductions. Was great fun to see little faces in the windows as we went in and out. So highlights, we had a very nice little picnic, then took the LONG trail down the mountain so we ended up walking a good 2 miles all told I would say. Shell was in sandals so I tried not to kill her by walking in steep parts.. But I was in Berks so I wasn’t going to go rock climbing anyways. Fact the only killing parts were she nearly ran into me as I led her to the highway.. heheh My bad the light was a late yellow so I did a fast stop rather than make her run it. hehe she actually squawked tires but I was watching and stayed ahead of her. Oh and she might kill me cause she turned out to be a very cheep date.. AHHA she paid for everything. I left my wallet in my jacket at the house. Since we desperatly needed to take bug spray with us when I stopped to buy some I had to borrow 10$ off her. opps. Not to swift Chuck. But I ment to give it back to her but she was late leaving so I had no time. Arrg. I remembered after she was 1/2 way to the highway. My bad. Sorry Shell, I promise I will get next one..
As to us together it was fun we talked nonstop and I think she enjoyed the conversation. She is definitely a city girl in some ways but did not freak out to much by being in the woods. She was bigger than I had imagined, not fat mind you just large. But that was no big deal I have a feeling she coulda walked an other few miles no problem. Other than that she was pretty and fun and didn’t complain that I made her walk in the woods. Fact she didn’t complain about anything. We also did a QUICK Yarmouth tour and drove past my old house and the house I grew up in. including stopping and talking to the people who built a house in Dad’s old garden. She was late leaving, my bad, but hopefully traffic will not be bad and she will not be to late to visit the friend she was seeing tonight.
All in all it was fun and I enjoyed her company. I was pretty low key about the romance side so no clue if she was getting sparks or just happy to be on her way home. Should be fun to read though.

“Try to do better than War Emblem who stumbled at the gate”
Well. XFR just stopped by and got most of the stuff he had left. A few things I can bury in a closet and all is well. So, here is my plan for the day. Aren’t I just a sickeningly romantic SOT. We are gonna meet here at the aprt. Where I will introduce her to Guido and we will make out lunches. Not very fancy but Pita Bread sandwiches. I went and spent like 25$ on sandwich makeings so we would have something to put in em. Then we are going to take a short drive to Bradbury Mountain State Park. Bout 15 mins tops. Where we will ditch the car and do the laborious climb to the top. Since the hill is only like 400 ft it should take a GOOD 15 mins to climb (1/2 mile ish). Then we will woander to the secound peek known only to the locals and have a nice lunch. On our sandwiches and some bannana’s and anything else I can think of. (Ok someone PLEASE notice the phallic symbols present here, Pita bread, Mountain, Bannanas and so forth- I do amuse myself so easily) The reason we are going ther is it is a nice place to talk and get chewed on by bugs. Also it is gonna underline the theme for the day.. Which is gonna be My space. Cause you can see almost all of what I call home from there. Where I grew up and where I live now and most the other places I have lived. Where most of my friends lived and the places I know and love. So the Mt. Stuff could take 45 mins or an hour depending on the bugs and so forth. So then we are gonna hike back down and I am gonna take her a for a quick tour of the area. Including my childhood home and so forth. It is a weird concept but this visit is about me mostly and my life and places.. When I visit her she will do the opposite and show me her life. Assuming we don’t hate each other on site.

So that is the plan. Nothing fancy but lots of talking and a tiny bit of exercise and a master plan to it all.

Not nearly as exciting as going bowling I am afraid. But deal with it. Course her site is down this morning. Heheh Hopefully it will come back up soon.

Oh I forgot to mention I this is all dependant on her finding the apart.. not an easy feat. And that the Taurus doesn’t die or something while we are roaming around. BTW Doc Ill bring a radio so turn one on around noon and I will toss my call out.

OK well I have been good.
Got the kitchen cleaner and all the dishes done. Found that all my hand towels are now partly green, sigh. Help I desperatly need a domestic goddess. Or a domestic at least. Now my Mom is gonna make fun of me again cause I can't seem to wash anything that doesnt turn out green. I used cold water this time Honest. Sigh.
So the house is only partly trashed. I am gonna post tomarrow morning (After she leaves to drive up here) my plan for the "lunch" with Shelley. We shall then see how close I come to pulling it all of. But for now I think I am gonna go to bed. Before I just fall asleap in my chair. hmmmm WOnder how comfortable this chair would be. Long ass day. and I never did vacume the car. Hopefully she will forgive me. I did shave though so 5 points for that I think.

For the fun of it......

Ethics/Personal Life:

Has a blog post ever got you into trouble?
Yea often. But I am me, if I wanted to lie about what i was feeling I would not bother to write it down

How many people do you know face-to-face who read your weblog?
quite a few actaully.. Even my Mom reads it.

Have you met any of your regional (or even remote) bloggers?
Yea I got started cause of hearing about it at macworld a year ago from an internet friend

Do you modify or delete posts? How often? Why?
Rarley, only when I absoluty must.

How much is your weblog a part of your personal identity? Do you feel like people who don't know about your blog don't really know you?
No but it a fast way to find out way to much about me.

How has blogging changed your life?
Puts a sheen of reality on things and also made me start to think in headlines.

Technical/Design:

Do you know how to code at all? Did you learn how to code by blogging?
Yea a bit, mostly I copy paste though. I am old skript kidy

What weblogging tool do you use and why?
Once that i like.

Does the design seem like something that is just something that has to be dispensed with in order to be able to write publicly, or is your design an integral part of your writing and presentation?
Completly dispenced with. I pay no attention to it at all.

How many times have you changed your weblog design entirely (or nearly so)?
um 2 times. both in the first month I think.

Readership/Motivation:

How many people would you guess (educated guess based on hit counts/logfiles) read your weblog on a weekly basis at least?
400-600 and growing. Most are to much a whimp to comment though.

What have you done to get more people to look at your site?
nothing. Err well i did have my site monagramed on the back of my jacket.

What one or two characteristics make a blog really popular? Are there things that you could do to have more people read your weblog that you conciously do not do? Why?
I try to keep sex stuff out and nothing I couldnt tell my Mother... Cause she reads it anyways.

What really popular weblog do you think most deserves it...and/or least deserves it?
http://www.brianistheman.com/blogger.html desrves it more cause he thinks like I do at times.

How do you feel about your readership? What makes for a quality readership to you?
I like it when people drop me lines and comments if only to tell me I am nuts.

Influence of Other Bloggers:

What other blogger is most responsible for you starting your own weblog.
nosuch.org

Who was the first other blogger (that you know of) who put you on thier sidebar, and how did you feel? How did it influence your blogging?
Same person and I was excited..

What other blogger do you most admire for her writing skills?
To many to mention. Anyone who amuses me.

What other blogger do you most admire for her design skills?
None, the design only exists to make my access easyer. So stop makeing it so annoying.

Who is a blogger that you think is really good but doesn't get nearly the attention they are worthy of?
Didnt I already answer this?

Do you feel obligated to have people on your link lists/sidebars that you never read?
Hell no. I if anything am weeks and months late adding people.

What one or two characteristics define a really quality blog (in your humble opinion, of course)?
Lots of content. Waiting days tween entries turns me off big time.

Well as much as I love my readership.. Christ I do like reading comments when I post something commentable. So either I am not, or you all suck. Like 15 people ahve seen my last post so far and not one of em had anythign to say. Sigh. LOMOL is still out at the movies with some friends, and I am bored. saw the 2 crap movies and they were worth exactly what I paid for em. Gonna save Pearl Harbor for tomarrow. Been very good and got all my laundry done. And I brought a pile. and once again turned more underwear green. Sigh. Safe to say I am prob not gonna figure it out soon.
And ladies hurry up the line is forming fast.

The movies are an incredible thing. And there is no way in which they completely disregard real life as in the way they do with Happy Endings. Ok dumb ass move I just saw, but mildly amusing in its own right. But the point I am leaning in the vague direction of making is that if you take a girl and a guy…And they don’t really know each other and then hook up, if the guy or the girl screws up bad, that is the game. You do not get 2 chances to get the girl in real life. The premise that you can lie about damn near everything and then when they find out say I am sorry and expect it to all go away is a joke. It just don’t happen. And well this is actually going in two very separate directions. One is Shelley, we might actually meet this weekend. Sorry to disappoint all you wken readers but if and when we get together it is Way more likely we have some food in a public place and then talk for a few hours and then go our separate ways. Why you ask? Cause that is the way life really works. There are way to many creeps out there for her to trust me or me her to much on the first meet.
Two is Dawn, I had two chances with the girl in this case. She was my childhood love who I always thought about and thought was the standard.. well yea, She is also insane. Ok so I really appreciate her giving me the Baby.. I REALLY do since it saves me from having to fight for it. But it at the same time pours cement on here chances of us ever getting back together. Ok so lets do this fairly and use the good old point system.

Having my child 1000 points.
Not communicating with me in 4 months or so while pregnant – 300 points.
Realizing she can not cope with my child 500 points.
Trying to put him up for adoption with out contacting me –10000 points.
Never telling me why she hates me so much –5 points.
Being insane -5 points.
Never giving us a chance to raise him together -50000 points.
Did I mention being insane? -5 points.
So grand totals please? On the positive side a whole 1500 points. On the negative side.. negative 60315. So what we have here is a clear cut example of the girl not getting a 2nd chance. (err third)

I told Shelley when we first started talking not to expect to much, cause well deep down inside I am an honest person most of the time (Shush You). I made it clear that my child is going to be my first priority. And if there was a chance even a small one of me and D getting back together I was going to go for it because a child deserves his mother. Well she went/is insane. I am not sure it is in anyone’s best interest to trust her to not do it again. Especially a poor trusting child. So as of today I am going to try to look on the world in a new way. One without D being a part of it.
So wken fans, lets see how the first meet goes, and hell it is not like I am tied down or anything. HAHAHAHAHA

And poor Shelley now has to deal with the fact that I am no longer as safe as I was cause I was on hold.. Screw that, I have been on hold for long enough. I am wife hunting please line up in alphabetical order. And no shoving in line I will give you all a chance..

Well LOMOL and I are mumbling noises about meeting Sun. for like lunch. Somewhere neutral. Could be amuseing as hell. Guess I will have to shave and clean up. Sigh and clean the poor car that is 50% full of trash. 18 days till B day it is slowly setting in more on me. Haveing the crib in the middle of the liveing room is a major slap to the face of cold water, or baring that being slapped with a moderate sized glaicer.

Well Ok LOMOL has buggered off to the movies. It amuses me that she says she is a shut in and s out of the house like 100% more than me.. And that is prebaby.

OK well since in the conversation I mentioned I was a minister and scared her a bit, I am wandering the archives to find the date.. In the proccess I did find one of my very favorite links ever...so here is is again.
Hearvey must Die

So I didnt say no to Sunday, and neither did She so if we can get details worked out like where and how many people around us and how many personal weapons we are each allowed we might meet. There I go scareing her agian. hheheh

And movies for this weekend are as follows.,,, 2 crap one long
Snow dogs, Slackers, and Pearl Harbor.

Sounds dumb to waste cash on dvd's when I have been makeing my breakfasts so i dont goto mc'd's but I hade a coupon so it was on 5$. And since the TV is dead ther eis not alot else to do up here.

Damn it is thursday. I need to get ready for the weekend.. Grr. I just got everything set up now I have to take it down.. Sigh. Anyways, I think I sold the Imac.. For less that I wanted and I lost cash on the deal but it is to good folks who need it. So that is cool at least. Heck they came to me so, not like I had a lot of energy invested in selling it.
Ok well washed the bed with a clorox solution and now I think it is time to try sleeping on it.. Tonite that is...
But first I HAVE to print out hte bills so I can get paid, and that means finding hte printer and the etherprint and hooking it up to Biff so I can print on Guido. hehe All so i can continue to use my Select 360 laser printer rather than the USB one XFR left for me. hehhe. I amuse myself I really do.

Ok minor rant.. or actually start off minor and see where it goes.

Single payer health care.
I am so sick of politicians saying we need it so badly but not voting for it. And we just had the head of a hospital here in Maine retire and he said his one regret was… blah blah.
I do NOT understand this. Ok first off why cant they call it what it really is. Socialized health. Or in other words the government pays for it. Now why they call this single payer makes no sense cause the government pays, and then we pay via higher taxes or a sales tax or Vat or something. So we pay the government who pisses 1/2 of it away and then they use the other 1/2 for health. Ok fine.
But what we have now is a single payer. If I get sick I pay. No one else pays for me, so how the hell can it not be single payer. I am insured.. As of 2 hrs ago. I canceled mine a year or 18 months ago cause I am basically a healthy person and I never used it. Oh and I was broke.. Since then if I got sick I payd. Period. Cept when we were in New Orleans and then Mom chipped in some.. Or at least I had her credit card and it chipped in some. Hehe .
So anyways, I am now insured and the Child will be as soon as it is born. Woohoo lets have a parade. This is a lot of cash. I am self employed, the do not give this shit away. But it is done and as long as the check does not bounce to badly I should be glad to get away with only about 4k in health insurance alone a year. And of course if I do need it the deductible is like 4k it self. But I have it so I can sleep at night. But single payer? That’s what we have now.. It is called my checkbook. If you want to excite me around election time say medical coverage for all cause we like you. Now that might get my vote.

On other news today we are at day 19. The crib is set up. The living room is mostly arranged and same with the bedroom. I am about 1/3 of the way done with the list of things I need. Just send me $ I am easy. Sigh. Oh I am sorry make that $$$$$.

Well go an other 1/3rd of the landlordies crap out of here. Landlordess was nice enough to come get it. So we are makeing progress. Desk is set up, Biff is resentfull but still talking to Guido. X-10 is up and loging so now I will know if there are any I should avoid. And I did the dishes and moved the couch. Next is tighten the bolts on Kitch table and figure out where it is gonna be happyest. Hard when the big fridge is not here yet. Then it is back to emptying boxes and filling trash bags.

Before I was just staying here.. Now it is a home. The Cow has came to roost.

More random thoughts as I organize and clean

Only I can walk up the stairs to the aprt with a tool-belt in one hand full of tools and a 12 gauge in the other. And no shirt. HAHAH My neighbors think I am weird now. BTW Kid that means this 12 gauge for you is here.. come and get it will ya?

How come I own all the REM albums but only have two in my MP3 folder? And more importantly where the hell did I stick that box of cd’s?

There has to be 25 remotes in this house tight now.. And I only use 2. So WTF do I still keep em all? Oh I know for target practice.. Cept I have no time so screw it.

Cleaning dishes sucks. Anyone want to hire me a live in maid? Oh they need a trailer or something to actually live in. (And make no comments about Mom coming or she will blame me for em)

It is a lot easyier to buy stuff than throw it away.. For me at least

I need to change cell phone co’s. I like my phone and the service but it is costing me a fortune for stuff others give free. Screw em.

Ok LOTS done and now it is time to play with Biff for a few hrs.. Get him happy and then shove him in a closet.

Well then. A few things on the plate. Got an other pile of stuff (crap) from the S.P. house. Got an apointment at 3:30 ish with insurance person.. And on my list today is to do a rant on the single payer health care system.
So gonna clean a bit, then have some fun setting up Biff (the old comp) as an X-10 super computer. Then clean some more and then rant a bit. Got my whole day planed out. 5$ says I pay no attention to it after I hit send. Sigh...
