2/5/2008 B4 U breed, readUntil dogs like this:  Are no longer getting gassed! Stop breeding. And yes, this dog was gassed today because she was turned into a shelter...... And I mean Gassed, put into a chamber, or a metal box, probably with other dogs and cats, piled on top of each other, the door shuts, it becomes dark, the cats scream in terror, while some are being attacked by the dogs that were thrown in on top of them. The dogs howl, scream, and wine in terror. A sound begins, a light hiss, it's the Carbon Dioxide or Carbon Monoxide fills the box. The animals thrash around in a panic trying to escape this dark nightmare. Screaming and hoping for a chance to get out. As they frantically paw at the metal sides they begin to feel ill, many will vomit, and gag as they have a harder time breathing. The animals on the bottom are trapped, and asphyxiate under the weight of the other animals. They slowly suffocate and die on top of each other. And this process can take up to get this..... 45 minutes to kill all of the animals in the chamber!!!! Can you imagine, suffering, in total panic and terror for 45 minutes before dying, in a dark place, probably wondering where you are, wondering what you did to deserve this...   This is why people need to stop breeding their animals. Gas chambers are still legal in many states of the US including, and not exclusively, Rhode Island, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia and many more. These animals don't deserve this painful, and mortifying death. Over 4 million pets are euthanized in shelters every year. For every dog adopted, hundreds remain unadopted, and will be killed, the ratio is even higher for cats!! Until moron breeders stop breeding their dogs and cats, this problem will not end. Spay and neuter your animals. There are more than enough to go around... Common excuses from the uneducated moron: "But my dog is a purebred _____ (Insert breed here, corgi, boxer, Lab)" And I say: And so are millions of the dogs put to sleep in the US every year. Most dogs in shelters are purebred! Our shelter always has a ton of purebreds, German Shepherds, Shih Tzus, Beagles, right now we have 7 purebred Labrador Retrievers, three chocolates, 2 Blacks, and 2 Yellows!!! "I always find them a good home." I say: Well sure a good home, do you still have their information? Do you know where your dogs are? Did you do a HOMECHECK!? Your dog is probably chained out to an old ragged dog house, freezing in the cold, and dying a lonely death, you pig. And for every one of your puppies that you "give to a good home" a shelter dog dies, because that home was taken up. Thanks, here's the dogs you killed...  Thanks for that, I'm sure those animals really appreciated what you did for them... Killed them... "I never saw the need to get him/her fixed, he/she never leaves the yard!!" Sure they don't, that's why most animals in shelters are not fixed. Mostly males that are not neutered, that run off, and can smell a female in heat within miles. How about that old female hound dog tied out back, not spayed, well Good old un-neutered Bruno found his way out of the gate, and that sweet old hound dog ended up pregnant, with more puppies the world didn't need. And those sweet little puppies were delivered to the shelter, while sweet old Ellie Mae, lives the rest of her lonely life chained to that dog house, having puppies every 6 months until the constant pregnancies kill her old body. And there's a thousand more excuses, I just don't have the patience to go through any more. Basically, all people who breed dogs, are KILLING other dogs. It's easy to prevent, there are low cost spay and neuter clinics, it's not a hard thing. If you breed... you contribute to this pile...  AND UNTIL YOU HAVE TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF AN INNOCENT ANIMAL, AND SAY SORRY SWEETIE WE JUST HAVE NO MORE ROOM AND THEN PROCEED IN PUTTING THEM TO SLEEP, YOU CAN SAY NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THIS, OTHER THAN TELL OTHERS TO FIX THEIR ANIMALS, AND NEVER BREED. It's not easy to put any animal to sleep, I've been there, whether they're just so old that they're dying, or in small cases at our shelter, if the dog is so aggressive, that it can never be adopted, and will even show aggression to us, it's never easy. It's not easy to hold an animal, and apologize to it over and over again. Watch it die in front of your eyes, then put it in a bag, and carry it to the freezer. It's just not easy. So until you have the courage, and could do that, don't ever breed.... Please watch these if you can.

They don’t photoshop out or crop out contenders from publicity shots (ABC News dropped Kucinich from Aug 18th debate photos) 2. The people get to vote for who they want, not the producers (ABC and Fox News dropped candidates based on their own “criteria”) 3. Even the people with no chance for winning still get to sing until they get voted out by the people 4. There are not multiple polls to determine if you’re in, there is just one (compare to ABC’s using the Iowa primary, national polls and regional polls to determine who they want in) 5. Even the sucky ones, still get to sing. 6. It’s easier to tell who’s good, when you can see how everyone else performs in comparison 7. The sad thing is that this is not American Idol. It’s the US presidency. 10/22/2007 Long time and exhausted
8/24/2007 Another IMPORTANT POLL--Help Dennis WIN!
8/1/2007 HAPPY LAMMAS
I hope everyone had an awesome Lammas/August 1st. I wound up with a bad head cold and spent most the day in bed feeling sorry for myself. I did however do a small ritual to celebrate the first harvest after everyone went to bed sharing a small meal of bread and apple with the Lord and Lady. I suppose its the thought that counts. With my head being so cloudy I almost missed an assignment at class and turned it in tonight. I wasn't late as I work at least a day ahead just in case something like this happens. My son is headed off to the juvenile dept tomorrow morning and I am more than I little stressed, even though I know its his fault and I shouldn't make myself sick over it. Looks like I have to go alone as my partner forgot to take the time off(ugh). Anyway I will be glad when I know more about what the consequences of his actions are,.Goddess Bless,7/29/2007 NervousI am nervous as hell because I am starting online classes Monday! Its
suppose to be catered to working adults so I am hoping I will do OK.
Not sure as its been years since i have been in school. On another note, my son has an appointment with the juvenile department to deal with what he did to my g/f. She has even told me if she is going to pursue charges outside of what the state will bring against him for domestic. I am pretty scared for him but at the same time i am the one who called the police and i know this is serious. He has hit more than just my s/o and its not OK. I know that no matter what happens, I cant use over it. I can at least count on my program for a little sanity. Well with that I am off, Its been to long since I have journal-ed again so i needed to clear some shit out. 7/18/2007 Scared and upsetwell my day went down the tube but it was worse for my 14 y/o son and Isabel. He hit my g/f in the face and blacked her eye when she tried to take his cell phone away for not coming home before curfew. Cops were called and a citation was issued. I wasn't home when the assault occured. She called me during an NA meeting. Luckily my sponsor was at that meeting and I grabbed her before heading back home. After seeing how fucked up her face was I called the shelter from the storm and then the police. She didnt want to press charges but the state picked it up under the domestic violence law. Tomorrow we are going to get an emergency appointment with a DV consouler. I am really unsure of what to do for him since he is already seeing a shrink, a counsoler and was just released from a diversion program for assaulting a younger boy for rubbing a sock in my sons face. Maybe some suggestions would help. I am kinda at a loss at this point as to what to do to help him. Just feeling really drained right now. Its really crazy how things went bad today so quickly. R.P. Listens to Wind 6/21/2007 Fight HateHi, 6/12/2007 UpdatesI havent journaled in like 2 weeks so its more than time. I am supposed to do so every day and I have been doing it more like once a week at best.
My life has been pretty full lately. I am doing service work on top of job hunting and then trying to do most of the housework at home. I am really begining to feel like a heel. It doesnt help that my Isabel can get nasty with me because she is an al-anon without a program and lives in a constant state of fear and lives continuously in self will. She says she understand why its hard to find a job here but is extremely passive aggressive with me.
On a positive note, maybe?, I bought a new car. I traded in my old one which I owed 1100 on. It was an 01 Ford Taurus and got 20 mpg and was in need of many costly repairs and no warrenty to help w/ costs. I still cringed at the thought of 5 years of payments.
My new car is a 07 Ford focus 5 door hatch back. It has a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warrenty and is really sexy w/ lots of extras including 6 disc CD and Moon roof which helps the sting a lil lol. Well I am going to sign off for now.

Angela 6/1/2007 Entry for June 01, 2007Well I did a blue moon ritual tonight incorporating herbs and candle magic. It honestly was very strange and awkward and I wasn’t comfortable. I feel like I am scrutinized by my partner in my workings even when I am sure I am not. I have been negligent in my formal meditations and w/ the distractions inside I feel as if I will never get back into a routine of “prayer and meditation”. It doesn’t help that I long to do my rituals and blessing outside, under the moon with the Goddess speaking in my ear through the wind. I long to be one with nature, the dirt between my toes. I make a terrible kitchen witch as being around the constant buzzing of machinery makes me feel anything but spiritual. After my ritual I tried to do a tarot reading but my thoughts are to jumbled to get an accurate reading. I havent even picked up my deck in ages, why start on a night if chaos?? I sometimes wonder about my timing. But I did get a goal sheet and tried my best to focus on seeing them become reality. I only wish Isabel and I hadn’t fought tonight it seems a bad omen. Maybe I just need to do more grounding exercises. Ugh my ramblings make no sense even to me tonight. Goddess Bless, Rev. Angela  5/28/2007 Day 3(Bulimia Post) Today is day three of not binging and
purging. I shared for the first time in a long time about how hard I
have been struggling with this in my NA meeting. I know that I am not
alone w/this disease and I am not the only person out there struggling
with both an eating disorder and drug addiction. I know that sharing my
story may help someone else even if I cant get away from it.I have been upping my exercise and trying to buy more fruits and veggies to keep lots of variety to help keep me from binging on the high carb high fat foods I tend to eat on my binges. I have also been working actively on my eighth step as well as asking for Goddess's will before getting out of bed. I upped my meetings to over 3 a week to help me cope and am trying to throw myself into service and job searching leave little time for "boredom". When I am bored I tend to binge so I am trying to have an excuse to be so. My ex husband has been at a lot of the meetings I have been at. Its hard seeing him there knowing how horribly he abused my kids and knowing he is denying it all. I have to remember to work my own program or I will surely go back out and die trying to work his. Well I suppose that's enough out of me. I haven't been keeping up with my blogging/journaling as much as I would prefer but at least I'm trying. Rev. Listens To Wind(Angela) 5/23/2007 Stop Big Oil
Dear friend, Thank you. Your name has been added to the petition and your comments will be delivered to your Representative. Another great way to make sure Congress stands up to Big Oil on price gouging is to spread the word to your friends and family so they know what's going on. You can just forward the sample letter below. Spreading the word is critical, but please only pass this message along to those who know you -- spam hurts our campaign. Thanks for all you do. --The MoveOn.org Political Action Team Here's a sample message to send to your friends: Subject: Help stop summer gas price gouging Hi, Can you face another summer where a day trip to the lake or the beach costs you an arm and a leg? It's shaping up to be just that if we don't ask Congress to stand up to Big Oil now. But there a bill in the House this week that could make gas price gouging a federal crime, so we don't pay more while the oil companies rake in record profits. I signed a petition to urge my representative to pass this bill this week -- can you join me at the link below? http://pol.moveon.org/stoppricegouging/ Thanks! 5/14/2007 Trailer FireWhat a day. Mine was a lot better than the next store neighbors. Their trailer burned down and my wife was the one who called 911. I wasn't there as my mom and I were spending a very rare girls day out. Since her cancer came back she is very tired and any time spent with her is precious. We have been discussing her chances of beating the cancer being about 20%. I got the call from Isabel while on the way home stating our trailer place was on fire and everyone was being evacuated. I could see the smoke billowing from the highway and I could just see in my minds my kid, family and pets dying. I was sure we had lost everything. I got lucky. the fire was contained to the one trailer w/ minor heat damage to the one next door. As far as the way the trailers are situated here it was the best place for the fire to be as it was on the end. The only one on an end that wasnt directly across from any others. My mom held my hand until I found out my family was ok. I am so grateful she was there. Tonight I hugged my son, my wife, family and pets close and thanked my HP for not losing anything. This is the second time a fire has occurred in the place we lived. The time before this many people were harmed and pets lives were lost. This time the neighbors lost their stuff but everyone including their pets escaped harm thanks to a watchful neighbor(my wife) calling 911. I just got home since the fire dept finally got out of the drive way. I am exhausted. Hope everyone else is well. God Bless everyone, Angela 5/8/2007 Other peoples insanity
5/2/2007 its been three years since....My moms cancer came back. She is such a brave woman. I talked to her on the phone the other night and her spirits were up. She didn`t want to talk about her final wishes, said she hasn`t given up. I wouldn`t blame her either way. Cancer started out in her throat and had spread to her lymph nods before they removed it and her nods. We all held our breath as scan after scan came out clean. Then the blood tests started showing cancer in her bloodstream. Dr`s couldn`t tell her where since they didn`t show up on her scans. A year went by and life stated to get back to normal. Well at least as much as possible. The surgery left my mom without the ability to swallow normal since they had to cut through nerves. She was a trooper though. I love my mom. Then the most recent scan came back, they found something in her lungs. Both sides had masses in them. She called me after they phoned her the results from the clinic 300 miles away. I held in my tears to be strong for her. I know how she is if I start crying then both of us can`t talk. I just listened. I knew the news was grim from the sound of her voice. `They are going to wait for my already scheduled appointment to talk about my options.` They assured her she shouldn`t stress out as it would only help to spread the cancer. We both know that her advanced emphysema makes her an unlikely candidate for more surgery as she stops breathing on the Operating table. Its another blow to a woman with a life already scarred by trials and illness. My mom is only 51, she was so breathtakingly beautiful before the smoking got to her. She modeled and had men even in her 40`s begging her to date them. She now looks closer to 75 though I wouldn`t ever tell her that. I love my mom. She is a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend. Her time on this earth is short and she owes it to the nearly 2 packs a day she smoked for the past 38 years. If you want to smoke today. If your struggling, if you think its not worth it? Think again. Smoking robs you of your health, your hope and your life. STOP. THINK. DON`T SMOKE. Peace, love and light, |
