KateP's musings

I was just sitting here thinking this week went by quickly.   This time last week I was doing the Finding Friends Trivia night and shoving an exorbitant amount of onion rings in my pie hole.   That started my unhealthy weekend and eventual trip to the hospital on Sunday. There were somethings I missed writing about at least a few times this week.   First off my Good Friday post (I was doing a lot of fasting that day had no choice) then subsequently noticing the little things that went on around the neighborhood. We had a couple of Canadian Geese visit the neighborhood earlier this week.   They were here over two days at a few times.   It’s been a while since they did that but I suspect it had to do with the river outback rising from the storm Monday night. Then I noticed that the young couple at the head of the street putting up a beautiful new fence.   I can’t remember the last time that house had a fence.   Probably when I was small and...

It is after midnight and I haven’t been to bed. Mom went before midnight but didn’t say anything figuring I had already gone. I am hoping to go soon. In the mean time I went online and checked some emails through the webmail and went on Facebook. I also watched a little bit of TV and watched a few movies that were on last night. They were either ghost type related or Horror movies. “Gladiator” was on TNT. Kevin Sorbo is really starting to piss me off. He has been (within his right) posting really politically based postings on Facebook and he really is starting to annoy me with it. I don’t agree because I am a democrat and I believe in the Democratic Party and their beliefs. I am probably not going to gain any friends or lose the ones I already have from his fandom with what I wrote but I certainly wouldn’t tell how others how to think on Facebook. While I was on Facebook® I discovered my former neighbor and classmate Tony was married recently to his partner Bryan. They were m...

Good Morning everyone it is just quarter of ten and I am opening today’s lockbox. It is very light which is good. I wonder if that means today’s Post office mail is going to be light as well or the opposite. I guess it depends on the weather as well. The snow that is predicted for today might start soon (I hope not) or it may start later…I am hoping it won’t start until after I do some shopping. Unfortunately I won’t be able to do much shopping because I don’t have that much right now. I got an email from Gem she had read this and it upset her. She wanted to know what I thought. She also believes the person owes the celebrity an apology. I told her that’s BS because the writer is entitled to believe what ever she wants and to write whatever she wants). I did suggest that if Gem wanted she could post comments and share with the writer her views. I don’t believe in telling people what they can or can’t write in their blog but I do believe in discussions. I heard back later and she says ...

Well it is nearly 10 in the morning and I am sweating bullets. I suspect it is the Daytime cold medicine that is doing it. My throat doesn’t seem to be hurting as much which is a good thing. I slept pretty well until 4. I got up to do a bathroom run and then went back to bed until 6:30. The recycle truck came through pretty early this morning. I got ready for work and got online for a few minutes before leaving. Liz sent some pictures last night and I couldn’t access them and they were adorable. The only thing is I would have to pay for them from there and I don’t want to use the credit card. I am going to have to ask her to either make some hard copies or send me them via email. I just checked the bank and my union plus and the deposit to the Credit Union have been posted. I can now get rid of the Union plus statement. I have had a couple responses to my entry from the other day. Gem seems to have concerns and I suggested she can send a response. I really don’t think that wil...

It is after 9:30 and I am working on yesterday’s mail. I should be finished with it by 10. That is if I stop surfing the internet. That’s what sort of got me in trouble this morning. I got online at home before leaving for work. I was already late to start with. Mom was just getting up when I left and made mention of it. I have a new pen pal. Her name is Val and she is from England and is on Liz Crasten’s List. We have been emailing each for the last few days. She thought I was a room mate from school. I will send her a letter this afternoon. I talked with Mom this morning. She was just doing “stuff”. As I expected she asked me why I was running late. I told her “because I slept longer than I should have”. She had given me the same answer when I asked her about her sleep. She told me Dave is having a mass said for Patrick’s Sister Carol who committed suicide over Labor Day weekend. It will be Saturday morning at St Agnes Church. I will be attending. Mom has a meeting to...

Well Good morning all you night owls! I woke up after 1 and haven’t been back to bed since. I got online to check emails. I saw a couple from mike one was about the minutes. I have to get those done by tonight. It really shouldn’t take very long. If I can get the work done early at work I will get them written up. I got an email from Lesley (Harmony girl) in regards to the SF-Fandom) and she has also been in contact with Rayhana.(Lynn). They are pretty much in agreement with the different aspects of the fandom. I told her that my view was that most of the fans were unable to think for themselves and that they were unfit partners etc. I am glad that is being disproved more and more these days. Well I better get to bed. It is another beautiful morning here in Southern New England. I finally got to sleep after the alarm went off and I got up about 6:30. I showered, dressed and got my lunch and the chips and dip to bring to work. I thought I would be really tired but I am not. I managed to...

Well it is another cool morning. I am thrilled that the restaurant downstairs (Paula’s) had side order of hash brown logs. They gave you three for like $2.79 and I had coffee. Oh guess what I did ? There was a discussion about how casual Kevin looked at the pre-Emmy party. One idiot says “I am proud of him”. Rayhana asked what the girl meant by that. I grant you the OP (original Poster) is an international fan but it does sound stupid. Anyway I replied that I felt it was way too casual for a party of this magnitude. Let’s see if it stays. The reason I did this is because sometimes only certain people can criticize or say negative things about Kevin. That’s not how it should be. As it has been stated before in this and many other blogs a message board is for all comments not just the “all positive comments” especially for those in the public eye. Well this morning worked on the rest of yesterday’s mail and perused the net. Which isn’t cool but I am not trying very hard. Today’s mail fro...

I couldn’t sleep this morning so I went on line and found this and this . Well I was a little shocked and surprised and a bit miffed. When I first read it I was a bit resentful that she would write and tell someone I brought the negative side out of her. I know that I upset her on her forum. I can’t remember exactly what I said to her. I guess it had to be about Sorbo fandom and how tired of it all I was. I think it had more to do with defending Stripe then anything else. I told her I disagreed with some of her views and I am entitled to disagree but that I would no longer contact her. If she thinks this was a personal attack then I am sorry but I don’t have to sit around and be insulted. I get enough of that crap from the SF Fandom board by those who think they are better fans or know more about him then the rest of us based just solely on the various encounters (and short at that) they have experienced. This wasn’t why I couldn’t sleep. I woke up after awhile when the real player st...

Well it is 9:20 and I have been here since 8. I have had a pretty good morning so far. I got up around 6:15 and got ready for work. I did an update for the computer this morning. I sent an email to Shari letting her know the letter is on its way. The drive into work was uneventful and that’s okay by me. I parked on the top level of the Temple Garage and was a little concerned when I didn’t see any other cars up there. I figured with all the construction work for Gateway Community College being done that it wasn’t such a hot idea. As I was walking down the stairs I ran into another person and asked them and they said it should be okay. Oh yeah I walked down the ten flights of stairs and managed to walk up the six flights of my office building. Let’s just say I was a little out of breath by the time I got to my office. Other then working, slowly, I did answer a few emails. One of them I received was from a co-worker she was forwarding a missing person’s alert for the East Haven area. She...

When I don't sleep I end up watching TV and reading emails that make my blood boil. For example this girl asked if group owners and moderators can report people for leaving their group. My response was if you don't full fill swaps they can and I added that I think it is childish. Well later on in the day I am guessing "Anthony" responded to me saying that it isn't childish if you get burned. She went through the whole reasoning for it. After watching TV for an hour I came back and posted that it is childish because its no one else's business. Then I read an email from Sandi. It seems she heard from MM who owns the SF-FANDOM board. She has been banned permanently from the board for posting some flaming posts. I responded that he is a Moron and that they should start looking into the harassing and rude emails posted by Themis. I told her it was probably better that she stay away from that board. It is now after 1 I have just finished the MR request list and I am...

I have been up a while now. Answering some emails from Lisa F in TN. I am on July 11 emails. This is really going to be a long time. I don't know if I can do it. I have already started my laundry and emptied the Dehumidifier which has become my permenent job when I am home. Mom usually empties it a couple of times when I am not here. WE usually empty it into the washing machine in the cellar and use that water to wash the clothes with. Since I had put the laundry in it (and it was already full) i emptied it into the sink upstairs. I received a couple of messages from Rhonda yesterday. She wanted to let me know that she was noticing a different side to Themis at the SF Board (yes I know-its like watchng a car accident). Themis had been ridiculing another member named Linda about what type of toiletries she was bringing to the Dragon Con next week. Rhonda felt Themis was being rude. I had suggested that Themis was having some Mental health issues. I also recounted how she made a comm...

It is mid afternoon. I have been on line for a while answering some emails, reading some forums, and plain just getting annoyed at stupid people. Kevin Sorbo’s movie Avenging Angel is on tonight. All week long people have been spotting the promos for it and articles. Everyone at this forum is saying it is being promoted very well. I beg to differ. It hasn’t been promoted very well here. I can count on my hand how many times I have seen promos or ads for it. There has been One TV promo. That was this morning and it was on the History Channel. There has been one article that I have seen and again that was this morning. I have strong suspicion that my cable company would insert ads at different times for local stuff. I don’t consider this good promotion. This is Themis' rebuke . She thinks she is the freaking expert on PR and the Sorbo fandom because she was in a major PR firm 15 years ago. I swear I wanted to tell her to go to hell and tell the others to get a damn life...

Over the last couple of days members of the SF-Fandom Baord for Kevin Sorbo wanted to do something special for the president of his OAKSFC. They were from Australia and the international group. Well Rayhana once again as in the past made some very obnoxious and blunt comments to make sure that others *such as * one member who is a staff member and has some serious health issues also be considered for an opportunity (who wouldn’t be able to otherwise) to get to meet Kevin Sorbo. The following is my response to Rhonda when she was making excuses for Rayhana's behavior today. RE: Rayhana was incredibly rude and divisive If I had done or said what she did I would be filed as a bitch and thrown off the board....This type of behavior is Unacceptable and makes the damn fandom look like petty whoring sluts.and as much as I respect Stripe (I just sent three more magazines that I found for the next auction) I don't have that kind of money to be spending on anyone else...------------...
