I am a victem of age discrimination.The law says that I am old enough to rent an apartment,but one lady wouldn't even let me an apartment because I am not ''twenty-five or Thirty.''Not only is this wrong but its also against the law.

I feel that I'm being descriminated upon because of my X-wife. Recently my property was written up because I have a tent trailor parked on the front side. Initially she [city employee] called it a utility trailor, but now it it's my tent trailor. This person that sent this, works for the city, but lives on the same street as my X-wife. The issue is that people have large boats, campers and utility trailors parked in their drive ways, yet they haven't been written up. This person has singled me out and is now harassing me. I recently had a triple by-pass and this harassment has effected me. I'm also over 55, so maybe its age descrimination as well. Any help with this, they are now threatening to fine me. An upset Mesa, Az resident. If everyone was written up this wouldn't be an issue, but they haven't !

I was asked to leave my children's school because my partner is a teacher there. I am president of PTO and have been volunteering and doing at this school for 7 years. And now that they know about me, they don't need my help any more. Are people ever going to stop being ignorant? I am just a mom trying to stay involved in my children's lives and helping teachers lives a little easier. I guess this is my thank you.

A Letter to Dr. Laura
One of the funniest things I ever received in my e-mail was this open letter to Dr. Laura. I am a liberal and hate that bitch, so if you like her, don't go read it. On the other hand, if you think she's an evil lying freak, go enjoy yourself!

I've been looking for that since it was reused in The West Wing second season episode "The Midterms" to great effect.
Muchas Thankos

Moose Times Two
In today's headlines: two-headed moose fetus shocks Native community, baffles biologists. I wonder if the lady in the river from my previous moose post would have had to hold up two racks of antlers to confuse it!

So will they be selling Mooseheads Beer to celebrate this?

Ok, so you have a Moose thing. I get it. I don't judge. Hey, I'm cool with it. I tried to go Moose once in college, but, with me, it didn't stick. Live and let Moose, that's what I say. *g*

A is For Amy Who Fell Down the Stairs....
I love Edward Gorey and actually have a poster of The Gashlycrumb Tinies that I bought in college. This is definitely a way I could see me slipping off the mortal coil....

I will not take this test because I firmly identify with Gorey's "The Doubtful Guest"
Posted by file13 at February 27, 2002 02:27 PM
Did you know he passed away about a week ago? R.I.P.
Posted by cybertoad at February 27, 2002 05:28 PM

Odd Todd
I found out today that Odd Todd (another unemployed dot.commer) was busted by the New York Labor Department (free registration required at The NY Times to view the article). I feel for Todd and left him $5.00. I hope that he doesn't end up losing his money to The Man. Like it isn't shitty enough being unemployed (the part where he talks about not being able to sleep at night resonated strongly with me), now you have to get in trouble for being successful in getting donations from people. If he was actively looking for a job and has the documents to prove it, they need to back off of him. Poor Todd.

My Gay Straight Boyfriend
My boyfriend Steven is one of those men that you could describe as a gay straight man. He's very particular about decor, he has more fashion sense than me (not that that's probably saying much, though), and he loves to cook. Last night I'm talking to Christine on the phone when I here this funny clicking noise, like someone is stirring something really fast. It goes on for a couple of minutes, so I call into the other room, "Honey? What's that noise?" I hear back, "I'm making something from the Food Channel." My curiosity piqued (other Food Channel tests have lead to him making the best made-from scratch pizzas, calzones, and piña coladas), I walk into the kitchen to find Steven making mayonnaise. He accidentally put too much salt in, but it totally cracked me up that he was making mayonnaise by hand! On a side note, he also brought me flowers last night because he said it looked like I'd had a rough day. He is just too cute some times.

Ireland - An Islamic Country?
I happened to click on one of my BlogSnob links today because it was entitled Religion - All the thoughts left unsaid and I thought it sounded interesting. So I go visit his site and find this post (quoted from below):
To the best of my knowledge, there is no other terrorist group associated or affiliated with a major religion--nay for a few blow-up-abortion-doctor-people.
Now, I'm not forgetting about the crusades either...that was entirely our bad.
Now, the first thing I thought of when I read this is, "Um, ever hear of Ireland?" I didn't realize the IRA was Islamic, though I guess that could be what the I stands for. I'm not saying that a lot of terrorist activities aren't tied to Islamic organizations, but to say that all religions but Islam (with the exception of the crusades) have nothing to do with those kind of activities is completely wrong. In Ireland Catholics and Protestants are killing each other, not Muslims killing them. Religion is probably the biggest reason that people kill each other and I mean all people, not just Muslims. It just bugged me that he didn't have any place to leave comments and I couldn't just leave a little note saying, "Ireland - that's an Islamic country?".

When I hit "Dub (my hero)" that's normally a sign for me to stop reading and just move on. Like passing a car wreck...
Posted by Christine at February 27, 2002 01:08 AM
Yes, but unlike the Islamic Fundamentalist, the IRA might have a good reason for protecting their culture and soil from the Brits. I mean, messing with Guiness pouring methods? If someone were to mess with McDonalds here, there'd be cruise missiles filling the air faster than you can say Jack Robinson.
Posted by file13 at February 27, 2002 11:49 AM
You might want to read a bit more about the history of Northern Ireland. It's not a "religous war", Catholics and Protestants don't hate each other because of relgious differences there, most don't give a care either way. But the history has a catholic country being invaded by a protestant one (England) and the English leaving their Protestant cousins to "oversee" the Catholics. So it is a bit different that a truly religous war, which is what Islamic extremists seem to want to fight.
Posted by Mike at February 27, 2002 12:02 PM
well, in all fairness, he DID say "to the best of my knowledge...". too bad his knowledge is extrememly limited.
Posted by mikey at February 27, 2002 12:45 PM
dammit, i shoulda listened to Christine. but no, i kept reading after Dub (my hero). i love how she wants to blame all islamics for the actions of a few terrorists. is she forgetting that the religion that's most prevalent in the world is Islam? and by that same rationale, can't we blame all christians for abortion clinic bombings?
Posted by mikey at February 27, 2002 12:54 PM
I can honestly say that I am studying the Irish Catholic, and Irish Protestant ideals of things. It seems as though there was a lot of social boundaries for the two peoples if they were in the wrong area. It was almost racial, the bonds of hate were so strong against one another. Seeing as how Christianity in itself is the worlds most popular based form of religion, these two peoples live neck to neck because of the simple form of their religion. As viewed in something that would be more commonplace, such as Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, you see that the family was looked down upon for being Catholic, and being Protestant all at once. Perhaps someone should look at these things before they make their own opinion on these things. The facts are simple. Irish killed one another while still fighting with the English over the simple idea of religion.
