August 29, 2010 ... Lockie on the Move Again

Lockie on the Move Again


Hello my friends who probably think I fell off the edge of the world since it has been so long between blogs.
 I guess I kind of did fall off the edge a bit, for a while there. Seemed like nothing was ever going to stay good in my life in reference to those I love.
I keep losing them... and that is a bitch when you can't go where they are to find them again.

 I seem to not be able to see the symptoms of a totally one sided relationship, and in the same vein  the ones I love, seem to not ever love me as much as I do them, and I seem to always end up getting really hurt.
 like I am absolutely nothing but something to use, it seems they have a way of making me feel guilty if I say no to one of their requests.  In the end it does not net me anything except getting hurt and used.

I do not know why I have this ability to make myself into someone whom they do not respect, but I have taken some time and put a lot of thought into the matter and I have decided...

 I can't help who I am.

 I can't help how I treat people, and it is really a sad thing when that kind of giving personality attracts the most sneaky and dishonest types of people. I am trying to not be so naive in my handling of the new people who have come into my life lately, and I absolutely hate this kind of thinking that makes me look to see if they are just trying to get something out of me later on by being nice to me today.

 I do not trust anyone anymore and I simply hate it!

I thought perhaps if I moved to a new location and left all the nasty memories and people behind it would be better ... but once again I am...

WRONG!

When I closed on this piece of property I bought in the town I am now working in ... it was a part of the agreement that the seller would provide for me a perc test for the septic system. This test is supposed to provide the health department with a soil sampling to determine if the septic system will drain well by the soil type and if I can just put in a standard type septic tank and the lateral lines leading out from it in a normal type way.. okay.. I am cool with that.. since I will be on city water anyway.. I am not to worried about the ground water becoming contaminated from a septic system..
So after I had closed on the property and put in for an address to be issued to me, I contacted the water company and put in a request to be hooked into their water line that runs in front of the property.. it took them two weeks to call me and tell me that there were no more hookups on the line allowed on that particular system. Apparently the developer of the property opted to not upgrade the water system when he started to sell the lots..

ARGH!

I was irritated to say the least and contacted the real estate agent about the whole thing.. she told me that it was not a matter that had to be disclosed to me in the normal disclosures, one has to provide when selling a piece of property, if it does not have an existing home on it..

 sucks but legal.. sigh..

So I drilled a well. It sounds as though it will provide enough water to me to do anything I need to do.. but since the electric company has taken a month to get to me.. how the hell am I supposed to know if it does or not since I can't get the pump in the well without power to tell me if it is what the driller said it was or not!

Back to the septic system and perc test... sigh... when I contacted a plumber about getting the pump in the well, the gas hooked up from the natural gas line and the septic system put in the ground.. he told me I needed a copy of the perc test to give him with the septic system diagram on it that a rep from the health department was supposed to have filed with the health department. So I went to the health department and they have nothing on file from any perc test done for me.. and when I gave them the name of the woman who was to do the diagramming and all the filing with them.. she said that another person was given my project and when the health department tried to contact him.. he is getting a divorce and the contact number is no good and no one knows where the hell he is living at now..

and he has already been paid....

 I feel a major screwing coming over me without aide of lubricant!!!

I have given up on anyone from the new town being honest and trying to help me by actually doing their jobs. So I contacted my electrician from home and he has promised to help me all he can. I am already into him for over 600 dollars in materials and labor and I am still yet to have power or water or sewer or gas to my house!

 He is scheduled to come back tomorrow to hook the house up to the power which, the power company told him on Friday they could not set the meter until Monday... I was there yesterday and the meter was in the loop..

ARGH!!!!!!!

I have reached maximum overload folks!!

Tomorrow I plan to arrive very early indeed to the new town in which I am moving and make a mark for myself.

I mean a big black streak with fire shooting from it!

This is what is commonly called..

 BULLSHIT!..

 where I come from and I do think it would be known to the rest of the country as such also.

 Why does this always happen to Terri?...

 I guess cause they can do it to me and I never reach maximum overload...
 This is a learned quality I think, and I am about to learn how!
So I will fill you in later on the results of my fact finding mission tomorrow and until then...

Giant Double Rainbow and Shrooms 1-8-10.flv




This video is proof positive that one should not eat the wild mushrooms! Or any of them that someone tells you will make you a bit disoriented... or just plain out there in the wild blue yonder somewhere..

What does it all mean:?

And Then I Said.flv




And then I said.... lol!

2 Funny Babies Laughing.flv




This is an older video, if you can call something three or four years old... that I have watched over and over again and it always makes me laugh out loud and feel so good to be alive!

Keith Urban - You'll Think of Me (Best Live Performance).flv




He understands the human condition.... he feels every word of this song and I can relate and know the feelings he is singing about... love this guy!

Train - Calling All Angels.flv




Reaching Out to God...

Train.... When I Look to the Sky .flv




This is how I feel sometimes, when I am in need of a simple touch or feeling, on those days when life is simply too much for me to understand it alone without advice or support.... I look to the sky and sometimes... I am in the presence of those who have gone to their place in heaven ahead of me

KeithUrbanCMT10ImIn.flv




I know I have been radio button surfing a lot lately and have drifted back to rock music a lot.. but I am still loyal to my favorite ..

The best entertainer in music in 2010 and all previous years since I first heard him singing "Somebody Like You"...

Keith Urban Live on CMT Music Awards performing .. Baby I'm In...

Train - Drops of jupiter video and lyrics.flv




This song makes very little sense.. they have a video that explains what is behind the lyrics.. but I don't care why whomever wrote it .. wrote it.. I love it just because of its very nature of not making any sense at all.. the only emotion this one pulls up is fun! I don't know about you all.. but I could use a whole barrel full of fun these days.. sure is a lot easier to make it to the next day to come if you can find the things in everyday that show you.. DO NOT TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY... it'll kill ya!

Train once again .. singing.. Drops of Jupiter

Train - Hey Soul Sister (Lyrics).flv




The time I spend behind the wheel of a car to do my job and the getting to work and then home again affords me a lot of premium radio listen time. I have become a picky listener, and after I listen to country for a couple of days straight... I have come to realize.. all stations have ten songs they like and they play them over and over again ... so.. I have rediscovered what I used to love about rock music. Some of the stuff is .. terrible. But a few have hit my eardrums that I love.. This one is so cute and catchy.. and since I do have the car to myself.. I let it loose right along with them..

Train.. singing.. Hey Soul Sister..

In the Air tonight LIVE- phil collins.flv




For a song that you can feel from your head to your toes.. nothing beats this one..

HippoPupLionSleepsTonight.flv




I LOVE this video! The dog is just.. well.. watch it and you'll see!

Its Too Late to apologize -(with lyric).flv




I gave up on rock music when it became rap music a few years back .. but I heard this one day over the speakers at a store when I was shopping and it stuck with me for days.. finally gave up and had to find out what it was and who sings it.. really surprised me when it turned out to be Justin Timberlake, who has now formed a new group called Timbaland singing with the group One Republic.. This is just a really good song which is applicable to my life right now, it is both artistic and haunting, do not be surprised if hours after you listen to it.. you find yourself singing it absentmindedly..

FishingBoat.flv




I think this is the only method of catching fish my son never thought of when he was younger.. This really brought me some super great memories.

MAY 16, 2010 FOR THE LOVE OF JACKSON

MAY 16, 2010
FOR THE LOVE OF JACKSON
 
My West Highland Terrier, Jackson, developed a genetic problem with his liver and after a week in the hospital.. he was improving somewhat and I was to bring him home yesterday.
 When I got to the vet to pick him up.. he had lost all he had gained and we knew he just needed to be let go on to a place of no pain.
No comments this time my wonderful friends...
This blog is a tribute to my little fuzzy friend.
This is a sad thing and I am too brittle to be able to handle your love and sympathy, and I know you all do understand and love me... as I love each one of you.
  When I open the door to come in after work.. I miss him being on the back of the couch and so overjoyed with my appearance... it would take at least thirty minutes of me holding him and talking to him to get him to calm down.
He was just a sweet tempered little bitty dog, who meant so much to me...
I can't understand why...
Why I had to give him back to God.

He was my constant companion for over a year, and was my warm and loving friend while I have gone through one of the worst times in my life.
He was just a sweet loving little bitty dog... and he loved me and I loved him..
I can't understand it.. I can't figure out why.. why I couldn't have him here with me..  
Today I dig in the ground and give back to the earth, the body, of one of the best friends I have ever had.
 Rest in peace my sweet Jackson..
I miss you so very, very much...
