Seriously?

Today I am thankful for the prankster that is the universe. 

So....

I rarely play with my witchy candles because of a certain word that seems to always show up in them.

Well, it's more of a name.

I decided that if I did a prosperity ritual enough, I may make enough money to excuse my ex, Michael, from supporting the kids (since he doesn't want to pay anything anyway).

One kiddo was diagnosed with a possibly fatal illness (my doctor thinks it is hereditary and that it killed my sister-in-law).  I need to get the kids insured. She is twenty, so she doesn't qualify for CHP+, but her parents can put her on their insurance as per Federal Law.

CO-PEP sent in a court filing condemning me from listing her as a household member when she turned nineteen because they claimed she was an adult.  She was in college.  She quit college over the issue: Now she's working trying to get health insurance.

My ex refuses to help insure ANY of his kids and claims he can't afford to help with deductibles and co-payments....so...I lit a green candle to help me find a way to pay for their insurance and medical care.

This was the result.






Now, I'm confused.  I don't know if I should post pictures of other candles with this word burned into them.  Those candles were not very elaborate.  The soot, or spent candle wax with collected on the plate, typically spelled out the word.

Here is one (I'm having trouble getting a clear shot of it.  Yes, I still have the candle.

I lit this friendship candle in 2007.  It was a pink votive candle that burned into the shape of a heart with the name "Tom" in it.  Tom contacted me about a year later.

Maybe it say's "OM"....you be the judge.


This green candle....

This one is in 3D.  It is, quite literally, the strangest one I have ever seen.

Sigh.....


Perhaps I should put my candles away for good now

Or maybe I just need glasses.


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....

Venus Meditations

  Today I am thankful for my new realization.  In my world, Friday is the day of love (reminds of The Cure - lol).  It's true.  Friday is the day of Venus.  Exhausted as I was after work, I went to my altar and lit a candle asking that my friend find whatever his life is lacking. Then I went upstairs and did my Friday night ritual to Aphrodite.  I lit a candle asking that I gain confidence in my ability to love.  I also ask that I recognize true love.  I was too exhausted to linger so I tried to fall asleep.  Have you been too tired to sleep?  It's horrible.  Your mind goes round and round -  you might recall things that happened recently (like the doctor telling me to be careful because I haven't hit menopause yet and I say, "not worried about it" while thinking that it's a good time to be in a sexual drought - hooray for me),  or things going on at work  (that I can hypnotize little cranky babies to sleep without sa...

Welcome to the Club, Zuckerberg (also a warning)

Today I am thankful for realizing that I am not alone.   There is a frustrating feeling that one gets when trying to educate lawmakers about the reality of the world in which we live. I saw this feeling expressed by Mark Zuckerberg during that charade of a Congressional hearing he took part in this week. Zuckerberg looks a mixture of angry and frustrated.  I know that face.  That's the face where I am stifling laughter so hard that it looks like I'm going to cry. That's my political face.  My background is in social science and psychology.  Imagine how irritating it is trying to explain that city policy is based on the concept of a traditional nuclear family (mom, dad, kids - people tied together by blood or legal policy).  As such, there are laws on the books that break up other types of families (more complex family systems of economic cooperation).  Trying to explain that there are  people who share economic resources without bloo...
