Quick News Update regarding Local Government (plus Wonderful Update)




Today I am thankful that the city is rid of the animal control officer who couldn't tell a German shepherd from a wolf-hybrid.  



The city threatened to kill the dog if it couldn't be rehomed at a wolf sanctuary (which probably would have been a death sentence in its own right)

It is fortunate that the family had the funds to fight.

So many families don't have money to spare. 

I don't know why the animal control officer is gone. My hope is that they didn't initiate an illegal fine to be rid of her.  I'm hoping that this woman is on to better things.

At least, from my point of view things seem to be getting better.

Now, if only I could find the time and money to help do something about the obnoxious and unethical pit bull ban.

Sigh....

I'd have hoped that lawyers would do something but I finally realize now that they profit from the problem.

It's going to have to be solved by common people.

It's nice to have something positive to say.

Love ya lots,


S.

The new mayor is amazing.  Now there will be a ballot initiative to reverse the pit bull ban.

I truly hope this is the end of the mess and the murder.

Thank you to whomever put this into motion.

When I get my crap together, I'll do a tad bit more to help.

For the past few days, I've watched the news reports out of North Carolina.  It's heartbreaking how many dogs and cats were abandoned to drown.  Many good people worked to save these animals.

The question for me is 'how can people be expected to care about cats and dogs if their own government kills them for reasons that don't make sense?'

The government considers itself a role model.  So far, they haven't a done a good job.

This will be one step in the right direction.

Now, if only I can get real health insurance and afford a primary care doctor, I may be one step closer to an emotional support dog.  I think I need to get steroid shots.

The next post will detail why I need a support animal - I'm still traumatized by the stalking.

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004.  We ran into her at a Wal-mart in 2005 and my keys went mi

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe.   It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house.  I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling.  I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here.  It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve.  ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb.  The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear.  Fear that he won't honor his financial

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much.  People change over the course of their lives.  Healthy people grow.  Unhealthy people either stay static or regress.  So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies.  If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors.   I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories.  From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory.  A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory.  When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP.  My ex is a ESTP and when he is stressed out
