Control your Wife!!

Note to everyone - if you have an issue with me - I would appreciate you to tell me personally - in a nice way - and Not going behind my back - by telling, texting, messaging, calling or emailing my Husband - in an attempt for my husband to tell, control, handle, reprimand, yell, scold, get mad, etc.... at me - I am an adult - I lived alone for over 20 years before I had a husband - Besides, my husband cannot ever 'control' me or tell me what to do - he can only 'request' me to do something - and the same goes for everyone else - the decision still is in MY Control - when you go behind my back and contact my husband with your concerns about me - it ONLY adds stress in our marriage - and makes you a Rat because my husband tells me and at times shows me your text, voice mails, messages, etc.........so really you are not accomplishing anything by going about it in your cowardly way - it would just be better for everyone if you confront me personally, yourself - unless you get your kicks out of putting stress on your friends marriage - if this is the case - then you are not a true friend to anyone.

Remembering Yucca Joe

 Saturday we went to a friends Funeral pretty much all day. Roy`s best friend`s Step-Dad died. They called him Yucca Joe.......because...... reason #1 he sold and had many Yucca Plants ........and.......reason #2 he would tell Jokes ALL the time......get it? Yucca-Yucca! His wife put a book together of funny family stories and all of her husband`s corny but funny jokes. That book is one of my prized possessions! Someday I will share with you & Tweet some of his clever Jokes! Even though it was a sad day, it still was an enjoyable day. My husband got to see a lot of childhood friends he has not seen in a long time. They had a Mariachi Band before the church service and a Taco Party after the service. We stayed for a long time talking with everyone. Then we met up with all of our local friends later that evening. All in all Saturday was a relaxing enjoyable Day.
 Sunday: 1st day of feeling almost back to myself again - such a beautiful sunny day - deciding on going to playboy mansion today or walking around beach, getting some much needed sunshine & fresh air from being sick for 2weeks........l think the beach walk wins!!!! I made a video this day - I will post up on my YouTube Channel soon @ http://YouTube.com/StacyBurke
Reason #1 why I love Sundays: Sundays are not filled with Plans, Sundays are filled with Options!

I am one of those rare People that get Really Sick From Botox? WTF??



Last year when I got Botox - I got really Sick - AND I MEAN REALLY SICK!! I thought I just got a Major Nasty Flu Bug - it lasted for over 2 weeks. This year, I got botox on Friday Sept. 20th and Monday Night Sept. 23rd, I started getting Flu like symptoms again! My body aches so much - I am in so much pain - my muscles feel stressed - I have major chills - then I get super warm - I cannot get comfortable - my throat is dry - I feel like I have pee all the time - I just don`t want to move - I want to just lay down - but I can`t - I have to much to do this week!
 I have been reading online that a few people have these rare side effects from Botox - and I guess, I am one of those Rare People!! I guess I will not get Botox again - DAMN IT!! I think I will be okay, if not, then please, have it be an open casket - don`t let this botox go to waste!! LOL!! (Sorry, Sick Joke)

Flu-like Symptoms

Some patients who receive Botox treatments can experience flu-like symptoms on or after injections. According to Medline Plus, symptoms can include headache, chills, runny nose, fatigue and body aches. Patients who routinely receive Botox injections can also experience stomach related effects such as nausea or indigestion. Generally, these side effects disappear after continued use. Patients should contact a doctor to receive treatment for these symptoms.

Bros b4 Hos even if you don`t think so

There is a reason l never made it as an actress - l suck at pretending - if you suck l will TELL YOU TO YOUR FACE - No apologies!! But.....on the sunny side - if l love you - I WILL TELL YOU TO YOUR FACE and l will have your back, even when you don`t think l do, even when you say you hate me `cause you don`t understand and see what l see.
 This has to do with one of my friends who always has a POD with him (POD = Pussy of the Day). Which is fine......but when that POD Disrespects me or my friends I will call them out..........which is what happened this night......... my Friend who brought the POD did not appreciate that I called her out and yelled at me in front of everyone.....I let him yell at me and when he was done, I smiled at him and told him that I still love him.

No Knee, No Guts, No Glory! The Sick leading the Sick

Roy`s knee surgery went well - however, he is in a lot of pain -he is now resting at home using the 'Ice Machine' on his leg - which is this machine that compresses cold air around Roy`s knee to help the healing - Thank you Vic for helping him home and waiting with him until l came home from my shoot! Roy requested Fried chicken, mash potatoes, biscuits & cole slaw for dinner - so I grabbed some on the way home from my shoot on Thursday. 
 However Later that Night......
Oh, what a pair me and my Hubby Roy make - he is really bad pain after knee surgery - and I spent the whole night puking my guts out - dunno if this cold turned into a bad stomach bug or yet again, I got food poisoning - I did not sleep at all - my stomach bloated up huge - it was in major pain - took ant-acids, pepto besmo, water.......all I did was toss and turn in major pain and spent the night on the bathroom floor puking my guts out with the TV on for my Only comfort - I really don`t think I can eat again - Every time a food commercial would come on, it would make me feel nauseous and I would puke some more - not liking this - but here we are - both of us in this house - both miserable sick - trying to help each other - I am trying to get today off from work - but it is not looking good - in fact I may have to go in EARLY - WTF?!! Oh but wait......the New girl finally text me back - she had plans, but will adjust them and work for me - Hooray!! Ok, Hubby calling out for me.....I better wattle over, go and see what he needs........Talk to y`all later - Have a Great weekend!!

That Couple was pure Trouble - someone that I do NOT want in MY Neighborhood!!!

Driveway Squaters & un-Supportive Neighbors!

Came home -someone parked in my driveway -Hubby w/hurt leg -neighbors no help -say no biggy -but yes, it is a BIGGY -we pay for that driveway -how would they like it if someone was in their house that they pay to live in -someone just squatting for a spell -plus hubby w/hurt leg -I can`t go park a block away and have him walk -I can`t wait for them to get back to their car to move it -we are tired -we got to work in the AM -plus it happens ALL THE TIME - Mad that neighbors don`t support us -if someone was parked in THEIR spot, I would support them/back them up/be on their side -WTF??

 We have a BIG Sign that says 'NO PARKING - TOWING ZONE AT OWNERS EXPENSE' -that they must have seen in front of them....they thought 'ok' cause they know ppl that lives here.....yea-yea-yea- whatever -stupid & RUDE!!

 Was on phone with tow company - the people that was in my driveway walked up just in time - my hubby scared the crap out of them - don`t mess with an injured, in pain, tired old punk rocker!!!

Some guy and his girlfriend walked up from beach -we never seen them before -claimed they knew someone in our building -(prolly came to one of our parties once, so think they get a 'free pass') we said we don`t care -it is OUR Driveway, we didn`t give you permission to park here, we pay to park here, my husband has hurt knee, we have heavy items to carry up, we are tired, all we want is for you to move your car, never do this again, so we can park and go to bed.---------- Roy scared the guy so much, that the guy kept telling us he would pay us $100- We screamed back at him telling him that we do not want his money -all we want is for him to never park there again! --------what pissed me off more was the new neighbor across street was yelling at me and Roy!!! How`s that for supporting your new neighbors?? I can`t wait to return the favor!!

I`m sorry, what was your Name again?

I am really bad at remembering names. I am also bad at remembering faces. I can remember meeting someone, what we did, how much fun we had, etc. My hubby gets so annoyed when I ask him to remind me of someone`s name. It takes awhile until I finally get it. Even if I finally remember, I will have a 'Brain Fart' and forget it sometimes. Sometimes I forget people names that I have known for years. Sometimes, it just escapes me for a brief moment, but there are times that I need to be reminded again. There are times I may remember the wrong Name. There has been people that for years I think I know their name, but get corrected. It is so embarrassing. I also will mis-pronounce names a lot. I have a speech impediment and it makes it difficult for me to pronounce some words.....sometimes I might just hear it wrong.
 Sometimes I meet so many people at certain functions......sometimes I will meet someone and wont see them again for a long time.......sometimes that person will look different.
 Sometimes I will see someone at the Laundromat or out and about, they say hi to me....they look familiar , but then again, I see them at the same location.....so they might just being friendly.....but I sometimes wonder if I stopped and talked to them and we had a 'moment' and now just have forgotten.
 Sometimes I will know someone for years, I might have never asked them their name, I never really learned it......so years go by.....I want to ask them their name, but I don`t because it is so embarrassing.
 I know there are some tricks to remembering a name.....people have tried to teach me.....but I still forget. I have also been told that I must not care enough to remember, but I know that is not true. I do care. I am trying to be more honest with it now. Now when I meet someone or if I known them and forget their name, I tell them the truth....I apologize to them and tell them that I am prone to forgetting names. Most of the time when I am honest with them, they confess that they suffer from them same thing sometimes. What a relief!

Boycott Quinn`s: Reason #1

  Read Updates @ ItsShoreLife.com

NOTE: This is just ONE True Story of MANY True Stories - but this made me finally to be silent No More - Now just wait - I will tell the rest soon - until then - here is what happened to my friend, just yesterday........ 

St. Patty`s Day - place is packed - it is an Irish Pub after all in the heart of Belmont Shore off of 2nd st - you are a bartender - you are working hard - you are ringing up tons of ticket orders with your name on it because you are the one serving them and it goes on your tax record to claim the taxes of the percent of bill for the assumed tip - you are putting up with a lot of crap and hard work - one bartender quit - probably for a great reason - you kind of wish you were her - but can`t think of that now - now you have to work harder because now you are one bartender short and you have thirsty customers- but that nice bit of tip cash at the end of your long shift is going to make it all better.
 Finally the end of the night comes - time to total out your draw - time to calculate your Credit Card Tips - but wait, the owner of the bar decides to take your draw and calculate himself. He tells you that your tips will be waiting for you in the Morning. You are confused, this is NOT protocol, Your Name is on those tickets, You are responsible for them -it is You who has to claim that total on your Tax records each Year - besides, you were looking forward to the rush of excitement from counting your tips to validate all your hard work from that night. However, you go alone with what the owners says, after all what other options do you have. You go home and come claim what you earned the Next Day.
 The next day, you go into your Work. The place you have worked at for many years, you have even worked there longer then the owners, your bosses now. Your Boss hands you an envelope that he says has your tips from that very busy long St. Patty`s Day, the Day that all the Bars are packed and All the servers and Bartenders look forward to because of the High Volume of People mean High Volume Tips. You excitedly Rip open that envelope - you look inside and grab the $14- inside!!!! Wait, Whaaaaat........$14-.......Fourteen dollars.......$14-???????? No Wait, there must be some sort of mistake. You ask your boss what happened, where is my Money, where is the Money I earned....where is the Money that I will be taxed on at the End of the Year, the Money I was looking forward to and earned honestly....that I worked Hard for??????? Where???? Where??? Where is it????
 You boss explains that he split your tips with the cook, his sister who helped out serving jello shots, the bar patron that does a few favors for beer, etc.....and then gives you this story that maybe the bartender that got fired might owe you some money!!! What, is this YOUR BOSS telling you this? Does he KNOW HOW ILLEGAL THIS IS??? Not Only is it ILLEGAL, It is Also IMMORAL and Completely Wrong....it is down right THEFT!!!! This is it, you put up with so much crap for way to long, so many other stories to tell about this place. We have been quiet for way to long - this is it - you quit, goodbye!! You get a Lawyer because not only is it wrong, it is so illegal. You actually probably paid more in taxes from the drink tally that you have to claim to the IRS so that they can tax you on 7% off that total because the IRS Taxes servers on their Tips, Hellooooooooo!!!!! Shame, Shame, Shame on that Family Owned Business - But this time they just screwed themselves just like they do their Regular patrons & workers. The silver lining is you quit and was not fired. You are a great Bartender and you will find a better place to work and Now the world will know the Evil of this Evil Place!!!!!

'Someone Call me a Doctor!' (Channeling my inner David Lee Roth voice)

I dont know what is up with me lately. Ok, more than just lately, something strange has been going on with me for a few years. I find myself having a short fuse. My focus in life is blurred. I feel restless. I want to do something, I want to do more, I want to do everything, I feel like a horse in a gate wanting that gate to open so I can run as fast as I can.......but to what? Maybe I have no goal. I am used to a goal. I have slowed down my Modeling/Acting/Self Promotion/Business Stuff due to not having a car for a year, but mostly because, I find it harder and harder for me to leave the comfort of my Neighborhood. I always hated traffic, I never liked Los Angeles, I don`t really like being to far from home and shoots were always so far away, that has always been the biggest draw back from my work. However I always loved tinkering on the computer, creating stuff, communicating, making money on my own by being myself.
 I think I may have reached a crossroads in my life. I am not saying that I am quitting anything, I will always model, create things and be in business for myself.......it is just that might be more on the back burner. I want something new, but don`t know what. Over a year ago,I sold my car, I was car-less, I had to get around only by Bike, Cab, Ride, by Foot or if needed, by Rent-a-Car. I loved it. It forced me to stay more local. I walked everywhere, rode my Bike and took cabs. I shopped less because I could only carry so much. I lived more simple. I cut cost down. By spending money locally, I supported the local business where I lived. I cut down my modeling a lot, I would only accept a shoot if it paid enough for a decent days pay plus rental car. By cutting my modeling, I had to find another income in the meantime that gave me flexible hours. I took a job at the local Laundromat/Cleaners. The hours were good, I can walk to work, it gave me a chance to learn a new trade, I got to know my neighbors better, I felt in tune with my community and the stress was better due to no more Traffic! In fact I still work there, I am writing this blog at work right now during a slow period. That is another perk, when it is slow, I can log on, Blog, Tweet, Facebook, email, etc. I can still do what I always have done. I downsized what I used to have and cut cost and I love it!! All that excess baggage was so stressful and not needed.
 After saying all that, you would think I would be all Zen like.....you would think.....hec, I would think! But I still feel restless. I feel anger, stress, annoyed, etc. Any little thing sets me off. I catch myself and try not to explode. I`m ok at that......but not always. I snap and when I snap, I snap hard! I don`t know if I have a reason emotionally or physically. I had a partial hysterectomy when I was really young, maybe this is a hormonal thing? Either way, I am very aware of it and I want to find a way to get over it. Maybe I should find a doctor or something. I have not seen a doctor in quite a long time, unless you count the very few Emergency Room visits in the past decade. Either way, I got to find a way to squash these feelings, I have a feeling that if I don`t, I maybe on a way to an emotional breakdown and explode and it wont be good.
  In the meantime, I recognize it and trying to deal with it. Nothing in my life is in crisis. Sure my marriage is rocky at times, but so is a lot of other people out there. I know I got to handle things better. It is on me and how I react to things that can make or break my day and the day of anyone that is close to me. I need to take better control of things. I need a goal. I need to get on track. I am just trying to figure out how.
