- hehehe
.
.
ARF!
(And by now, we all know what that means)!I know you will probably not believe me today, but sometimes us dogs do get into trouble.
No, really. We do.
..
Like when we go to the woods...
..
Hard to believe now but Mr. Miller beat us ALL to the woods.And he was with Mama Milly...
(I had to wait for my 'she').....
She can be SO pokey...
And mean too!..After I found Miller, we got to go down to the river.
I thought Mama Milly would be there too.
But she wasn't...
That's ME, in the river!
Mr Miller was too, but 'she' didn't get that picture.She let us play for a long time.
But then it was time for us to come back up the cliff.
..
Yeah, we were kinda soggy.
And yeah, I probably shouldn't have rolled in the dirt.
(Miller shouldna either).....Kinda dirty.
So?
But I like me like this..."She" doesn't though.
And she tells me to roll in the grass...
(See? "mean" she is)...So I roll.
Then me and Mr. Miller run home.
But we get caught and have to go back.....See, Miller hasn't rolled in the grass yet.
So she tells him to roll too.
"Mean. Mean. MEAN!"..
He does.
THEN we have to go home....
We waited nice for her...
and STILL hafta get washed off?.So one day Mama comes home with us...
(She usually doesn't).
I tried to sneak up on her and steal her ball...
..
It didn't work...
(Maybe she saw me)?
...
She's not fair like that...
I think she just was hoping that she might get another sucker,
and that is why she came home with us that day...
She stole it from the Little Guy.
'member him?..
He's showing off his shirt!
From Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
Guess who bought it for him?
Me!
hehehe
OK, so no I didn't-
Just lucky I can get on this computer-
Can you IMAGINE if I got to go to the bank too?.
Anyway, I would like to go back to Sault Ste. Marie.
Maybe we can still go,
and I can jump into the water again...It's a LONG ride.
Which I don't mind...
But I do HATE to see these big things.....
And we don't even know what they are??
Do YOU?..Me and 'she' go for short rides sometimes.
A few days ago we went down the road here>
And she went to the little veggie stand.
WHICH I LOVE!
But THIS time she pulled in the yard...
..
I thought it was OK.'Til I saw this.....
And I HAD to protect my 'she'..
I growled, but she made me be still.And THEN I saw THIS!..And it was TOO much!
I growled AND barked.
And she still made me be quiet!
(She told me to SHUT MY YAP)?I tell ya, there's just too much trouble for us dogs...
.
Mama Milly thinks she's cool cuz she's got a boyfriend.
.This is "Chevy"(One day when Mama Milly didn't come back from the woods
She was at HIS house)!
The lady called and tattled on her too!
HAHAHA!..Mama gets a boyfriend...
.
.And I get a CAT???....And they call this "A Dogs Life"
???????..
ARF to all!
May your bowls and your bellies always be full!
And may your bone supply never go missing.
Love,
Punk
Shut My Yap???

The Bee and The Woodpecker
I have not heard from the State of Wisconsin.
(But I do know that everyone answers to someone).
.(But I do know that everyone answers to someone).
.
Good Morning All;
This Chinese proverb showed up on my screen earlier:
Words whispered on Earth are heard in Heaven like thunder; evil done in dark places the gods see like lightning.
I spent an awful lot of time downtown yesterday. Going to each police station (city and county).
Then in a last ditch effort, to go back to the courthouse and leave the info on the Registered Sex Offender with the judge/family court commissioner.
I also left him a little note.
I haven't heard back from ANYone.
Should I have expected to?
.Should I have expected to?

Curious now...
If I didn't see where the bee went,
Does that mean he doesn't have a nest?

If I didn't catch the woodpecker that did this,
Then maybe there isn't really a hole in my house?

.
.
Because if I, (yes, I said "I"), can't prove that this person actually resides at a different address, then he must not.
.
.
.
To carry on with that convoluted line of thought...
If I don't see Gabriel being hurt or harmed in any way...
Then he must not ever be hurt or harmed in any way.
Ya think?
.If I don't see Gabriel being hurt or harmed in any way...
Then he must not ever be hurt or harmed in any way.
Ya think?
And that's the gospel according to what I know today.
Do not think for one moment that this is over.
I promise, it has only just begun.
Wait...
"Promise" or "threat"?
Guess that depends on who is reading this.
For now, I must now go in search of the bee and the woodpecker...
Have a day.
My name is Anne, and I approve this message.

Red Flags; Intuition, and A Registered Sex Offender
The picture speaks for itself...
With a warning before you read:
Red flags, migraines, and anxiety makes me swear.
A lot.
(If you are easily offended, leave now).

Good Early Morning;
I can't sleep.
My head is throbbing, and my stomach feels as though it is ripped from my throat.
As I am sitting here, gathering my thoughts, it occurred to me that I was more than a bit chilled. I threw on a blanket... Then finally have turned the thermostat back up to 67.
Still chilled, but the smell of reigniting the furnace is gone now. That new 'burn' smell always bothers me as it burns that bit of dust off the system.
Punk came and laid between my cold feet and the register.
Sassy dog.
Next time she will lay ON my feet, or get shooed away.
Back to Master Gabriel...

We went to court again on Gabriel's behalf yesterday.
Roberta has now received the formal complaint against her. She also decided to have her 'new' boyfriend accompany her to court. (A completely inappropriate appearance as far as I am concerned).
But wait... What if anything, of Berta's parenting skilss are appropriate of late?
In the complaint, she admitted to using marijuana for the last 6 months of her pregnancy! What effect this will have on our Sam remains to be seen...
Intuition?
~I absolutely KNEW there was a reason, way beyond me being concerned about Berta calling the cops on me...
ALWAYS listen to your guts!

Not that the intake worker gave a good damn, but Casey did inform her before we went into the courtroom that this guy is a "Registered Sex Offender".
Did it make the case worker then take note?
Nope.

CLICK HERE for the Wisconsin Sex Offender Website.
(Enter "Michael A. Turner" if you want to know more).
(Enter "Michael A. Turner" if you want to know more).

The charge that he was found guilty of and spent years in prison for?
948.02(2) (Second degree sexual assault of a child).
948.02(2) (Second degree sexual assault of a child).
.
During the hearing, it was found that Roberta could pick up Gabriel on her own, and NOT have supervised visitation.
I am SICKENED (and stunned) with this new recommendation.
As Casey was too...
(Mostly though, afraid that Gabriel will be either harmed; or simply disappear on us during one of these visits).
We left that hearing, (Casey and I), came back here, grabbed a few papers that I printed up from the website for verification- and brought them to the caseworkers office.
She wasn't "IN" at this point, but the receptionist DID stamp the papers as "received"
Then over to the States office building, where we met with Turners case manager. As it stands, there seems to be a conflict with his registered address.
His address for the DOC is one place. The address that he lives at is another, miles away.
(And need I mention that he is too very close to a park/playground AND two schools)???
This worker, though pleasant and caring, really did not seem too troubled with hearing this.

She told us to find out the owners name of the house they are living in, and go from there.
?
I guess there really is no one that is truly concerned with this information.
We have all been led, by this FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, that we know where these convicts live.
Word to the wise:
DO NOT EVER BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW WHERE SEX OFFENDERS LIVE.

I also went to this site. CLICK HERE. And found out that he has quite a record with the State of Wisconsin; although I saw no drug charges.
(Again, enter "Michael A. Turner" if you want to know more).

- Where the hell does Roberta find these perverts?
- What the hell makes them (or herself) so attractive?
- And what in the EFFING hell is she even thinking in the first place?
The state worker said Turner had just been in, and yes Roberta was with him.
So Roberta does know about his record. ~WTFH?
Is your own head spinning yet???
Casey and I made tracks to the other side of town then; giving the temporary foster family a copy of his file from the DOC.
(Not sure what opportunities for denial of visitation this will give them, if any, but at least now they know too).
Trust me on this...
If anything bad happens to Gabriel, or if he gets 'lost', some heads will roll.
And I will start right at the State level, then CPS, Social Services.
Then the court commissioner, and work my way down.
Today then, I shall make sure that the city police and the sheriffs department are also given these papers with the conflicting addresses for this guy.
(I have to go to both because this guy lives in the city, but his address with the DOC is out of town).
Oh, and have you ever wondered how the state keeps track?
Q. How do they verify where sex offenders live?
A.They send out a letter, and the perv simply has to reply to that.
Then I shall have to find out who Gabriel's GAL is, and to ensure that he also has copies of this all.
My anxiety minds bigtime.
So very hard to function with all of that.
That, and the fact that I have had a major headache for a couple of days now.
Comes and goes.
Needs a shot, but no 'how' to get that in...
It is SO hard to be doing all of this running around when a simple phone call, (and a double check on their own damned computers), would verify all of this.
And if it wasn't for Gabriel's safety I would NOT be doing everyone elses job for them either.
***Wouldn't you think that all of this would upset someone (besides myself and Casey); and that there would actually BE someone who gives a sh*t about it all???
Sadly, if you thought that, you would be wrong.
Any lawyers out there?
Somebody PLEASE give me a leg to stand on.
For now I am going to try to rest a bit-
These damned pills are clearly not working.
Love to all.
XOXO
Anne

Cluck. Cluck. (And More Cluck)...
This title picture has NOTHING to do with the blog...
.Good Morning Everyone;
From what I hear, most of you are safe and sound. I have yet to hear from my friend Wyck. But I know that they did leave Baytown, following mandatory evac orders.
After waiting to hear from Miss Jenne, I finally called. (Of course her phone does not work at her house, so no answer there).
I called Aaron; and he reassured me that all was well.
Jenne called last night then, using Aaron's phone- Nice to hear their voices after praying, reading, watching all night and day...
But then Mr. Isaiah came on the phone.
He literally demanded to know why I lived so far away?
(Will have to buy that boy an atlas)... hehehe
I have only a few moments here as I will be picking up Gabriel and then Roberta, for another visitation. Twice now and it is raining both times. And no, our rain is not courtesy of Ike; rather a cold front moving in on us. Winds out of the northeast...
.
.
.
.
Yet, with the rains we so badly needed, it does make for some pretty pictures...
.
.
.
.
.
Has anyone ever seen berries on ferns???
..
Does anyone know what kind of grass/plant this is?
..
I snuck over to Kelli's too...
.
.
Her old barn...
..
.
And their pond too!
Not sure where her and Tim had gone to,
but if I had a view like this I wouldn't leave.
.Not sure where her and Tim had gone to,
but if I had a view like this I wouldn't leave.
Speaking of Kelli...
She had tickets to our Green Bay Packers season opener on Monday Night; and against those dastardly Vikings....
Almost needless to say, she has been fighting with laryngitis all week!
.
.
You go, Girl!
.Will have to catch you up on the rest of my week in a bit. I must close and go get Gabriel...
Love to all!
XOXO

Texas; Ike, Jenne, My Family and Friends
.
.
Good Morning Everyone;
As first my heart goes out to Texas...
...To my family ~and also to my many friends there.
Please stay safe.
Godspeed.
As many of you know, my 2nd daughter, Jennifer, lives in Temple Texas.
She and Aaron were married in late 2006.
.
.
?
.
Our Aaron will be at the Expo Center, where many storm refugees are already. (He is part of the Sheriff's posse).
.
As you all know, this hurricane is bad...
I have just heard the update on TV, (FOX News); saying that this could be a Category 5 now by the time it makes landfall.
.
.

.
.
.

The red star showing where Jennifer, Aaron and Isaiah live...
.
.
.
Jennifer and Isaiah will relocate from their home to that of Aaron's mother, to wait this monster storm out. (Her home is sturdier, but surely to lose power there for a time too).
.
.

.
I have tried unsuccessfully, twice, to call Jenne this morning- Her cell phone carrier says the call cannot go through at this time. I rather imagine those cell phone towers are quite jammed up...
I have left her a note through Multiply.
So many of you are wondering about Master Gabriel.
He is well. I was able to pick him up yesterday afternoon so he could visit with us. (Roberta, myself and Casey too).
He is well-taken care of, and even seems to have a brighter spirit.
***I am sorry that I cannot respond to every personal message on here; but I promise to try to keep up with your comments below too.

My friend Connie ("Sweet Beep"), in Bryan Texas...
I have just spoken to her;
She has assured me that they would be alright.
IF they were sticking around.
They will be leaving shortly for a weekend in Arkansas.
More prayers...
She has promised to blog as soon as they arrive to Arkansas

I have tried unsuccessfully, twice, to call Jenne this morning- Her cell phone carrier says the call cannot go through at this time. I rather imagine those cell phone towers are quite jammed up...
I have left her a note through Multiply.
So many of you are wondering about Master Gabriel.
He is well. I was able to pick him up yesterday afternoon so he could visit with us. (Roberta, myself and Casey too).
He is well-taken care of, and even seems to have a brighter spirit.
***I am sorry that I cannot respond to every personal message on here; but I promise to try to keep up with your comments below too.
Here is one of my comments back to Sheila yesterday on the blog about Gabriel and his health and welfare...
"It is I who is blessed by everyone here.
And as far as the legal system realizing how my family can pull together?
You have said a mouthful...
...Suffice to say that you don't know the half of that yet.
But you will."

Back to Jennifer...
Having spoken to Aaron just as soon as they'd heard about Gabriel, Jennifer and Aaron have agreed that for them to try to adopt Gabriel would be best for all concerned.

Jenne has already spoken to the intake worker here.
Seems everyone balks at the "Texas" end of it.
Too much paperwork?!? Oh give me a damn break...
But then speaking to the supervisor, Jennifer reiterated my own first thoughts...
(Everything copied in maroon is Jennifers thoughts)...
"Gabriel's life should not be compromised because somebody is afraid to file some paper work. "
"When she heard we were in TX she said something about it taking a lot of time because of an "Interstate Compact Agreement" where they have to contact TX and TX has to do a thorough check of our home. She didn't seem too keen on the idea. I told her I didn't care how long it took."

And then these words from a later note...
"I'm no hero.
(We are) just doing what any self respecting (Christian) people would do."
"Also, pray for us. 'Ike' is going to hit us with constant 75+mph winds, with the probability of tornadoes, and we aren't expected to have any power for 2-3 days.
"Aaron is in the Sheriff's posse and will probably be at the Expo Center where they're housing (a huge # of) evacuees and National Guard, most of the weekend."
.
"No HERO" Jenne?
You are quite wrong about that. You are all my heroes.
And many many prayers are going up for you all.
You are the daughter I raised. God Bless you for that.
My mother, your grandmother, has surely left her imprint upon your hearts.
And in Mama's own words, "Difficult, but not impossible."
Can you hear her?
Time will tell what happens-
First things first for everyone-
Get through and past Ike.
For all of my family and friends, please be safe wherever you are and with whatever you do.
And try to have a good weekend...
God Bless us every one...

HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.
(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports.
We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'
(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour)
They will be under strict orders NOT to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out.
Neither the president, nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.
(7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life.
(8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand.
There is no more 'life' sentences for murder either. If convicted, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9) One export will be allowed; Wheat, The world needs to eat.
A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes.
When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.
(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.

Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have, and better than what you're gonna get.
Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November.
God Bless America!
