To me it all seems very simple.
If a person has lied, used, manipulated or angered you numerous times it is just best to walk away and move on. I am not sure how people can allow negative people to keep entering their lives. It must be some sick disorder from childhood for the need of acceptance and the desire to please.
We have moved on from many. One just recently, and it seems after we finally get rid of this one somebody finally realizes how much of a friend this person never was.
It amazes me how people can be so blind and ignorant. When someone is telling you that you are being taken advantage of you would think to take notice while it was happening. No, instead we wait until something very bad happens that does not give us the oppurtunity to even make a decision as to whether or not we want this person to be a part off our lives.
Just because people have been in your life for a while or forever does not mean you are entitled to accept their behaviour or that you should have to.
Now to hear the whining about another person whom ive told him about over and over.
When will he ever learn and how much longer will I have to deal with it.

Did I tell you I will be going to a teaching from the Dalai Lama?
In San Jose October 12th.
http://www.gyutocenter.org/
From my last few posts Im going to need it.
"Written by 11th-century master Langri Tangpa, Eight Verses of Training the Mind is a classic text in the genre of lojong, or mind training. Lojong focuses on developing appropriate regard for self and others, turning obstacles into opportunities for positive change, and cultivating compassion for all beings. The Dalai Lama describes this work as one of his main sources of inspiration."

I will never understand why people lie.
I think I was around 6 years old when I realized that if I told a lie eventually I would get caught, and when I got older I found that telling the truth made life much easier and simpler. Like we don't already have enough to worry about then to have to try and remember what lies we told and to whom.
Anyhow please dont lie to me ..the truth will eventually come out. It is much easier to tell the truth the first time then to have to find out your lie is no longer a secret. Also it is a bad idea to make up more lies for your original lie. It makes you look pathetic, ignorant and sad.
Today I plan to go see the bunnies again. Im still thinking about "when" I should bring one home.

1 comments Posted by Kevin & Karen O'Dell at 1:37 PMI have decided there are just some people who will be nothing other than miserable people their entire lives because they don't know how to live any other way.
Along their journey they will make sure to make everyone else around them miserable too.
Personally I think these people should just put themselves and others around them out of their misery and go drown themselves.
Now to go tend to my crowing Meep Meep who is anything but miserable and makes everyone around him happy. :0)

So this weekend Kevin, Meep Meep and I will be travleing to visit my family in San Jose.
Everyone is so excited to meet Meep Meep ! I told my mom she is going to get to meet her Grand Chicken ..hahaha and for Grandpa it will be his Great Grand Chicken.
Good thing they all understand already that I m crazy ...but not really.
We dont have much planned other than swimming and a barbeque. It should be a nice relaxing weekend.
Hopefully when we get home we have a letter in the mail from FORD offering us a bright shiny new truck. I think I will have better luck playing the lottery.

So this morning I was working out listening to "Coldplay" when I heard a strange noise coming from the backyard. I immediately assumed Molly had gotten out and was attacking my chickens so I ran into the living room first to count dogs when I saw all 3 were inside. I asked Kevin what the heck are they barking at and he said they hadnt barked or made any noise at all. So I RUNNN out to the backyard to see a hawk perched in my apricot tree and my chickens hiding in a bush. The hawk is pretty aggresive -- it flew right in front of Kevin and hasnt left my yard yet. We need to go to Walmart today to get dog food ...miight also be bringing home a BB Gun ..I am NOT going to experience the "circle of life" in my backyard with my chickens as bait.

Holding my Breath and Keeping my Fingers Crossed
1 comments Posted by Kevin & Karen O'Dell at 10:42 AMSo our USED new to us truck is in the shop again. Something about a tranny and engine plates and other things that I have no idea about but have heard before. I started the "buy back" process with FORD 2 days ago. The service manager told me that they have already talked with him requesting service paperwork and we shoudl have an answer within a week.
The PERFECT solution would be for them to EXCHANGE our truck for the same one but BRAND NEW we would have to pay for anything extra on the new truck. Another option would be for them to just pay us for what we paid when we bought the truck MINUS mileage, they could also throw in an extended warranty. Ill take the perfect solution and prefer a new truck. Ive never heard of it happening to anyone, and I doubt it is something thet do very often. Im just hoping that the decision gets put into the hands of someone who feels like being extra soecial nice and making someones day.
So everyone please hold your breath ..pray ...cross your fingers

This past weekend at the river was alot of fun. Some friends were at Lake Mohave and were so nice to invite us out for the day on Saturday ...Thank you Beth, Craig, Krisitn & Brian !! The weather was perfect ..probably about 102 degrees which is just right for swimming in the cold water.
We drive past alot of desert to get there. I beleive the road closer to the hills is old route 66 -- you can see alot of old run down motels and gas stations as the road doesnt have many people driving down it anymore.
