My Uncle Happy was in Pearl Harbor

I once had an Uncle named Happy (Yes, that was his Real Name) - he was on my Mom`s side of the Family. I remember him telling me stories of his time as a Cook aboard a Ship during Pearl Harbor when I was a kid at our family Holiday Parties. He Survived by Ducking under a Prep Table. I have not seen him since I was very young.

Looking for a Cheap, Easy, Installed Video Intercom

I miss my Grandma & Worry about her. Since my Car broke down, it has been difficult to go Visit her. Anyone know a cheap easy webcam system so I can Call, Talk & See my Grandma and she can see me? I want 2install a Intercom like System so I can Communicate with her at will.....like a Cheap, Easy Skype.

I am just worried a Computer, Tablet or Phone would either get Stolen, Lost, Broke Etc. Many people go in and out of my Grandmother`s room - my grandma is very old and sick so she might break, lose it or cannot use it. I was hoping I can install a Device that the Nurses might be able to easily use - so I can call them and ask to turn it on when I want to call my Grandma - kind of like a Video Intercom.

- I got it, a Video Camera.......Don`t know if will happen....but I think that`s my Best Bet!!

Learning not to Lash Out when I am Hurt

I really wish I could Learn NOT to let what others Say to me affect me so much or at least act like it doesn`t affect me - but l am not that great of an actress or tough skinned - l tend to get hurt and l lash out - this is a trait of mine I really do not like and in the process of attempting to change. Wish me luck on my success in this!

l guess l am just to sensitive....l know l should not care what others think or say.......what l really need to work on is my Lashing out on others......it doesn`t make things better when l do that......l need to squash the teenage tantrum drama....especially in public...besides, it is tough on the skin.....l look like hell after a night of drama......l need to stop if for nothing else but vanity.....LOL!!

Forever Startled

Roy, My Husband works at Home, in his Office aka: Man Cave. I work from home as well and usually at my computer in the Living Room next to Kitchen. He usually has the TV on and so do I in the Living Room.
I don`t know what it is, maybe because I get lost in my thoughts or maybe it is the tone in Roy`s voice....but he will Scare the Crap out of me to the point of a heart attack!! It will be pretty quiet, I am doing something, he is no where around....all of a sudden he speaks from no where and as he speaks he appears.....I know he is at home.....I know he is there.....but for some reason...I get startled, I scream, I jump, my heart pounds, my heart beats fast....it takes me a lot to calm down afterwards.
Roy gets really pissed off at me when I do this. He will stop talking, not finish what he was starting to say and walk away pissed off. Later he says to me 'You know I live here to, right? You got to get over this!' I try, I hate being scared, but it happens a lot! We been together over 4 years, he works from home, I should be used to it, I want to be used to it because I REALLY HATE BEING SCARED.....but, yet, it happens about 3-5 times a week. I wish I knew how to cure this.

EAS: Emergency Alert System

I remember these LOUD Annoying Emergency Alert Systems Tests interrupting my TV when I was a Kid - here we are in almost 2012 in the age of i-phones and such - you would think that these EAS would end or at least evolve into something less loud, annoying & intrusive!

How would you handle this? The Silent Servant

I find it very Rude when I walk up to someone to share a Short little story about my day and as I am talking, still not finished with my story, they shove an empty dirty dish towards me while still chewing on their last bite of food, gesturing for me to put the dirty dish away, only after I cooked that very meal for them and I am not done with my one sentence story. Obviously they are not interested in my story and more interested in treating me like their Silent Servant.

My Glittery Starter Bucket List

Watching Millionaire Match Maker w/ Vegas Drag Queen Frank Marino & they showed Hamburger Mary`s -we have one here in Long Beach -I so wanna go! Even though l cannot walk in heels to save my life and completely lack grace, l soooo wanna tap into my inner Drag Queen!!

Reason #? why I wish I was Rich = So I can have a Great Big Room for myself, a 'Woman Cave' with Comfy Couches, Big Screen TV`s, Sound System, Tanning Bed, etc. -so l can Host a 'Girlie Night' once a week - Chick Flicks, Cocktails, Food, Hire People to come give us Facials, Massages, Nails, Hair, Botox, etc - Damn, if that is not Motivation to make more $$,

I have Never seen a Twilight Movie - I am a little Curious to Watch one to see what all this Hoopla is all about! I might, in fact l might try 2plan a girlie movie night and play all 3 of them in a marathon with a cheese plate and a box of wine!

I`m learning that I`m the ONLY one who appreciates my creative Dinners- Hubby is a simple creature who`s fine with Hot Dogs & Hamburgers Every Night - therefore last night was Cheesy Hot Link Dogs, tonight was Cheeseburgers!

My wish is to Open a Club/Bar/Lounge filled w/ Many Big Screen TV`s, each one playing something like Bravo TV, Fashion Shows, Tabloid Shows, Chick Flicks, Sex & the City, etc - couches everywhere, a dance area, wine, girlie drinks, finger foods, Fondue, desserts, Maybe even a 'Primping Room' with Nail, Hair, Massage Stations - What a Great Place that would Be!

Car Stuck

I am debating spending another $2000.00 on another Transmission for my 2003 Saturn (I just did this 2 years ago, my car has a Recalled Transmission Problem) or Spending $2000.00 on a Used Car (That might have Hidden Problems) - don`t know what to do - either way, I do not have the $2000 to spend anyway *sigh*

I bring Home the Bacon...Fry it up in the Pan......

I know it may sound weird, but I am feeling REALLY Good about Me Writing, Signing, Sending Out Checks & Paying Our (Me & My Hubby`s) Bills today!! I feel like singing that Old Song 'I bring home the Bacon, Fry it up in the Pan.......' LOL!!

My Dream Place I want to Own Someday!

I wish I could Open a Club/Bar/Lounge filled with Many Big Screen TV`s and Big Comfy Couches. Each TV playing something different like Bravo TV, Fashion Shows, Tabloid Shows, Chick Flicks, Sex & the City, etc. Serving wine, girlie drinks, finger foods, Fondue, desserts, etc, Have a Dance Area and Maybe even a 'Primping Room' with Nail, Hair, Massage Stations - What a Great Place that would Be!

Doesn`t it sound awesome?? You know the Gay Guys would Love it as well! AND - Straight Guys would come around because they know that is where the Girls hang out. It would be a Perfect place for us girls to Hang before going out, after hanging out or Just to hang out and Talk Crap about the Guys....LOL!!
