32.

While the answer to the meaning of life is 42, 32 is the number of spam posts I just removed from my Blogger. That makes 33 total this week. I'd already changed the password, so the only way to post was through the mailing address, which I've changed and beefed up. So, go die in a fire.

I mean really. Do you REALLY believe that anyone who actually comes to my little blog is goin to click on your garbage? "Oh, she's really pushin that fake rolex, Adobe 9, and drug to bang your mistress better. I just GOTTA click it!" You waste my time, your bandwidth, and I hate you for it. You suck, you have to wear a fake rolex cause you spent all your money of hacked copies of Mac isoftware and horse piss to increase the length and width of your teeny weeny epeeny. Loser.

Arizona lawmakers look to restrict spending by welfare recipients - Phoenix Business Journal:

Arizona lawmakers look to restrict spending by welfare recipients - Phoenix Business Journal:

Hubby and I talked about a Law I would make on Planet Janna the other day... one Hubby said would never pass because it was too fascist, too controlling by a government. This... is that law. I seriously ranted about it last week!! And here it is!!

A. A person shall not receive assistance or cash assistance under this Title if the person is found:
1. In possession of, consuming or purchasing alcoholic beverages, tobacco products or illegal drugs.
2. With a cellular phone if the cellular phone is not the only phone in the person’s home.
3. With a cellular phone contract that includes more than basic phone service.
4. Purchasing an automobile that is worth more than five thousand dollars.
5. Purchasing a television that is worth more than three hundred dollars.
6. With a cable television contract that provides more than basic cable television service.

Thirteen Republican legislators signed on to the bill, arguing that residents shouldn’t be spending on certain items while on the dole. Democrats say the bill is an overreach of government, dictating behavior to those in need.

Janna says: "Dictating behavior to those in need"?? If you have money to buy beer and cigarettes, you have money to buy milk and bread; you're just doing it wrong. Why should I support YOUR spawn, so you can be irresponsible. You want my government food stamps, you play along. Savvy?




On another note, seems my Blogger was hacked today by. My latest entry was a HUGE list of software with prices and links back to their site. Asshats.

Licenses to Breed...

In Fayetteville NC the Child Seatbelt / Safety Seat law states that under 5 years old or 50 lbs your child must be restrained by a child safety seat and seat belt.
On Fort Bragg NC the law is 8 years old and 80 pounds (older children may use a Booster Seat instead of a 'Child Safety Seat'.
SO... a carfull of young women come in, and the driver hands me 2 NC ID cards, a Spouse card, and tells me that all she has is her birth certificate because her military ID is on post. Firstly I chide her for driving without a driver's license on her person, which (though it can be looked up by a law enforcement official) is technically illegal. I have her swap with the Spouse card, and turn them around so they can drop her off on the Blvd, and return to enter and retrieve the Mil ID card from post.
Only, when they rolled up the second time, I now saw a small boy in the back seat. I waved to him and asked his age. Three. Well, this tiny three year old boy I did not see before has no carseat. In fact, I didn't see him the first time because he was sitting between the No ID and an NC ID in the backseat!! I tell them there's no way they're going anywhere like that, and pull them to the side so Spouse Card can walk to her car (which was abandoned the other night because she was drunk), retrieve her carseat, and presumeably come back to get the car, child, and then the Mil ID. Sgt instructs me to run the tag on my way over, no biggie. Cept when I called it in I was interupted by a 14yo boy having a seizure (elsewhere) and had to wait for the channel to clear. When their tag FINALLY got cleared, a patrol just happened to wander up and get curious anyway.
Spouse Card wants to know why she can't just turn around and drop the 3-yo off with the chick (oh using this term so loosely you have no idea) down by the Blvd. Um... because that would require DRIVING with the 3-yo in no carseat.. again? Ok.. so MPs get curious, then furious. Spouse card's getting a ticket for no safety seat, and they contemplate giving No ID one too as she was the original driver. All is said and done, Spouse-Card Mom got to walk the 3-yo down to Bragg Blvd and drop him with her girlfriend aaaaand then walk to get the carseat and her car; one of the other women apparently had an NC DL so she could drive the other car away. Ah... justice is served. Cept that three-year old still has a drunk moron for a mother.

Um...
A. Maybe you shouldn't be getting drunk with the lesbian you're cheatin on your hubby with, when you have a three-year-old boy.
B. WHERE was the three-year-old boy at the time??
C. WHY didn't someone grab the carseat when they grabbed your drunk self and the boy?
D. Why don't we require IQ tests, background checks, and licenses to breed?

Nicotine Dream, WSI,

I woke up this morning to a bad dream: I dreamt I walked out onto my back patio and someone stood there smoking. Behind them, a very young baby in a large stroller (the kind with a tray) was parked. I could smell the smoke from where I was, though the wind was not blowing at me, and I knew that meant the baby was breathing it too. "How can you do that right now when the baby is right there breathing it?" They shrugged, puffed, and replied "Someone's gotta watch her." I woke up.
It always bothers me, some times I can ignore it more than others, but it always does. I dream far too often about it. I was really sensitive to the smell of it today, I don't know if it was the dream, or the fact that running so far this morning tore my throat up and made it sensitive in general. But I kept reliving the horror in the dream. Please Gods, make nicotine products illegal. :(

<hr>

There are some things in this world that bleach in the eyes just can't cure. Two women in a beat up car, each about 250 a piece. Their sequined, strappy, plus size dresses were so short I thanked God they were wearing panties. Gigantic hogs (too large to be hams) of thighs jiggled as they stalked around the car, hunched over, trying to have balance on 5" strappy stripper heels.... (you know, the kind with kinda thin, kinda thick heels and 6 studded straps that wrap the foot and up the ankle?) The white girl wore the sequins, multicolored spandex, and gold heels. The hispanic?black? chick wore the supertight black dress and SAME heels (only black...). Dear god... this is what you offer soldiers to trick them into sleeping with you and somehow trapping them? It must work.. because the filthy car was full of TODDLER SHOES, KID TOYS, a STROLLER in the trunk, omg. At least one of those women bred. Mated, and bred, and is now on the hunt again.

The car behind them was a soldier, and when he pulled up he had no words... he was speechless. I told him... "There isn't enough bleach in the world for my eyes right now." He simply replied "..Agreed."

<hr>

I neglected to put it in the 5k blog I did earlier, but I hit Kappellenberg in my Mini-Goals today, and am now roughly 27 miles from Windmaster's Hill Proper, and about 450 miles from Pennsic. :) HOORAY!

Today is tiring. My knees hurt and need iced. Twelve hours suck the life out of you. I've got almost no studying done (two math problems and the heart's arteries memorized.) When I go home I will probably forget to ice my knees, forget to brush my teeth, pass out in bed, wake up, go to work, and try to find someone to take the extra shift the LT scheduled me as its hard to be in class and at work at the same time. Class is more important.

So.. while my brain still works... good night.

5k+1.8k

So this morning Hubby and I ran a 5k. I've been very lazy about running, and figured that having a goal, a run to do, would get me back into it. Boy was I wrong. Still, we went out to the race today, me praying all last night and this morning it would be frozen over from yesterday's rain so I wouldn't have to run it.
By the time we started running I'm pretty sure husband was tired of listening to me whine hehe. My toes were numb for the entire first mile! I hate the way the cold burns my lungs.. maybe I'm just not a winter runner. As we approached the tiny sign for mile two I was warmer, but had been praying for some time that someone had misplaced the '2' sign and that the next mile marker I saw would be the '3'. I was suckin... We didn't find the 3... but we did find the '5'. We'd basically just started following the people we came upon, as we passed 4-5 people a ways back. Either way they were headed to the end... juuuust on the 10k route we later decided. I've never wanted to quit a race so bad in my short lil life. The last bit we ran past the finish chute, up a hill that has no business being at the END of the race, when my knees felt like grapefruit, and the only thing that kept me from falling forward in a heap was... god knows what. We finished at 47:26, terrible for a 5k, but I'm alrigh
t with it for a 6.8k hehe. We hung around to drink coffee and wait for the feeling to return in my chest. Hopped the bus and came back to jump in the car and race home. After an awesome raspberry pancake breakfast (husband's reward to me for not falling out) I'm working a 12hour shift and the second suckiest point. BUT have a good Sgt, a decent coworker, and am relubricating my joints with the coffee Hubby sent me to work with.
For the first race I've done since... good lord, the Jingle Bell Jog last year? Like... 2008 last year? I'm pretty happy with myself. Or will be when it stops hurting.

-Closing this blog out, because a run like that means so much to me :)

Homeopathy, PETA and Sea Kittens,

Mass drug overdose – none dead - Homeopathy.
SO.. Stumbled onto this and had myself a giggle. The comments almost make the thing worth it itself. I didn't know )shame on me) exactly what Homeopathy was and frequently got it confused with Naturopathy, Herbal Supplements, etc. Turns out, it's very different, and a bunch of doodoo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy = Stupid naivety,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturopathy = kinda cool, kinda hokey,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbalism = cool and should be studied more.

WEEE


SO according to the Fayetteville Observer, PETA protested outside an elementary school this past year, dressed as fish, and called themselves "sea kittens". Protesting what? They were there to denounce eating fish sticks. This is in the paper because Ringling Bros. is in town, so they're going to protest in front of the saaaame elementary school... over the mistreatment of elephants at a circus. The principal has no idea why they picked their school. In fact, PETA has no idea why, as one activist stated she didn't know they'd even gone there before. Are you kissing me? A. The circus is NOT being held at the school. B. No one has any idea if any of those kids are even GOING. These people are ridiculous! The PETA people plan to have out stickers and activity books, and one will dress up as an elephant with a bloody bandage wrapped around its head. Yea, that's the image I want MY kids taking to their dreams that night.
OH, more on the 'Sea Kittens'. PETA says they want people (kids?) to see fish as such, because they say (notice how that statement has no scientific evidence behind it...) Ahem, 'they say' a fish's intelligence is on par with that of a cat. Really? Then why does my goldfish keep slamming into the side of a bowl... and Why does the beta keep jumping OUT of the bowl to its death (as a dinner for the very patient, very intelligent, cat)?

Pfffft. Please... get a life. Pretty please?


Ps.. I just learned what vajazzle is. Omg... why.

School, PT, Period Dinner,

School, PT, Period Dinner,

Husband told me if I passed my Math test with a 93% (what it takes to get an A at this ridiculous school) that he'd take me to DQ :D I've studied, felt confident, and missed 3. Unfortunately the test was 25 questions and that makes it 88% :( At least it's a B at this cruddy school. I can't even see which ones I got wrong until midnight. I know it's going to be some trick question on the Levels of Measurement (Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio.) Sigh.

Kind of agitated that I only got an 85 on the first math project too... I seriously copy-pasted all the answers from her syllabus from the project, yet somehow missed 15pts. That's only a C at FTCC btw. :( SO... Let's do some Math on Math...
Test 88pts Weighted at 25% of my grade.
Project 85pts Weighted at 10% of my grade.
HW1 100pts Weighted at 15% of my grade.

88*0.25 = 22
85*0.10 = 8.5
100*0.15= 15 22+8.5+22=45.5/.5 =91%.

A 91... which is a BEE at FTCC. /grumble.


00:60:00 5.0mi Ellip. "Glut1" prog. EndHR-175.* AvgSPM-150 (forward) 140 (Backward). *Grain of Salt til I get an HRM.
I can't believe I did 5 miles. 60 minutes. I looked at it starting to count down from 60 and usually punch it down to 20, 30 at most. I've never done 60... This time I just let it count down. It kicked my butt, and I will definitely feel it tomorrow. But I'm glad I did it. It's a huge motivational thing, like the 4miles I spontaneously ran out of nowhere (which is what made me want to start running to begin with.) I have no idea where the motivation came from that day.. Hubby (Fiance at the time) was going to workout for 40 minutes... so I just ran for 40 minutes.. for some reason at a ten-minute mile.
Those are the moments in my life that motivate me :)
