I don't know why but BUSTER always seems to lay in awkward position while he is resting. Most of the time it's on his back with his legs in the air (not a word Angel Benton) but that's only when he's sleeping. When he is awake he sits with his hind legs out behind him kind of like a Sphinx. Now I am a little rusty on my world history but I believe that Egyptians saw the Sphinx as a guardian of the land which was a good thing but to the Greeks it was the demon of destruction. It's crazy how different cultures can see things.
Not that I was starving my poor baby but he ran out of dry dog food a few days ago and didn't really have the chance to go get him a bag until yesterday. Things have been a little crazy around here and money has been tight but I always make sure to take care of the baby first. I don't want to say that I spoil Buster but he does have a very nice life.
Yes I believe that is the under statement of the century. I am sure that this isn't true to some people but to anyone who has had as many bills as I have had and has been in debt at some point, than I am sure that they could agree with me. This weekend I was finally able to pay off all my bills completely rather than just making the minimal payment and I couldn't feel better. Thanks to Angel Benton and his extraordinary skills at money management I was able to come up with a reasonable budget that will help me maintain this stature. Here's hoping that I don't go back into any kind of debt anytime soon.
The other day I spent some time with a good friend of mine out in Little Tokyo and we stopped off at this little Japanese Mart where he was showing some good items to have around the house. There were a lot of interesting and different items that made it's way to my basket to say the least. One of the things that I ended getting was a bottle of Choya which is a Japanese Plum Wine that my friend recommended I try if I liked desert wines which are totally my favorite kind of wine. I have yet to try it but open to hear any feedback from you guys about it *wink*
I don't know what it is about our Wii System but it seems to bring out the worse in Fuckin' Travis but it is quite fun to watch. I don't know if it's just his competitive nature or there is some underlying reason he gets so hostile and aggressive during game play. It is funny though because it's all fun and games while he's winning but the moment it turns around and he falls behind it gets a little wild.

This is the first month that I have actually been paying attention to where I spend my money and working on my new budget. I must say that I really never thought about how much you spend on the little things through out the month. Between catering to my overly spoiled dog and buying things to keep my house smelling good and sparkling clean....my personal spending limit has plummeted to practically nothing. Awww how am I going to get all the pretty things I want.
So last night my eyeballs were on fire and I mean that with as much emphasis as possible. Literally my eyes were watering for a good hour or so due to the amount of bleach I had poured into the steam cleaner in order to clean my carpet. Poor Buster had so much going on too, not only does he absolutely hate the vacuum but I am sure that the bleach was burning up his nostrils too. I only got to do half the floor last night that way I could give it time to dry before moving everything back into place then move all the shit from the other side of the house and clean that are. So much work so little time
Teacher Threatened With Firing Over Disciplining Students Who Used Gay Slurs To Keep Job
by 365Gay.com Newscenter Staff
(West Milford, New Jersey) For teacher Cheryl Bachmann there was no question of what to do when two students in separate instances used gay slurs in her classroom.
Both, a boy and a girl, were sent to detention.
On the way out of her classroom at West Milford High School the boy hit her in the head with a rolled-up gum wrapper. Later, the girl was heard threatening to kill her.
But Bachmann, who had previously received good performance reviews suddenly found herself in danger of losing her job. She had been recommended for tenure but that was suddenly withdrawn.
School administrators accused her of poor class management skills and recommended she not be tenured. That would mean at the end of the school year she would be without a job.
With the help of Lambda Legal she appealed. Students at the school also became involved.
About 200 walked out and at a school board meeting earlier this month hundreds of people showed up to show their support. Students, parents and fellow teachers called Backmann a role model and said that the board should be supporting her and other teachers coping with disorderly students.
Several speakers referred to the Virginia Tech shootings, saying Bachmann's actions may have prevented an incident that could have escalated over time.
"More teachers should be doing what she did," said teacher Sean Cosgrove.
"Schools have a responsibility to create a harassment-free learning environment and Cheryl Bachman was trying to fulfill that responsibility by disciplining a student for using threatening language --- now she is in danger of losing her job," said Hayley Gorenberg, Deputy Legal Director at Lambda Legal.
"Denying Ms. Bachman tenure for protecting her students from harassment would be reckless example for the West Milford Board of Educations to set."
Wednesday night, at a board meeting that dragged on close to midnight, the school trustees voted 5-4 to offer Bachmann tenure.
"I want to make sure students are safe in the classroom," said Board President Midge Touw.
"Our board doesn't take lightly that a teacher was threatened."

__Tonight my friend Anthony came by the house to hang out for a while. Since there isn't much to eat in the house at the moment I asked him to bring me some dinner on his way. When he arrived he handed me a plastic bag full of different boxes and containers. There was so much food that all three of us had dinner and I still have enough to eat for a few days. Don't get me wrong I love me some fried foods. I'm a country boy it's in my blood, but still doesn't mean it's any good for me.
::Deep Frying::
If performed properly, deep-frying does not make food excessively greasy because the moisture in the food repels the oil: The hot oil heats the water within the food, steaming it from the inside out, oil cannot go against the direction of this powerful flow.
Some fried foods are given a coating of batter or breading prior to frying. The effect of these is that the outside of the food becomes crispy and browned while the inside becomes tender, moist, and steamed. Some foods, such as potatoes or whole, skin-on poultry, produce a natural skin and do not require breading.
The correct frying temperature depends on the thickness and type of food, but in most cases it lies between 175 and 190°C (345–375°F)
Amongst my birthday gifts ...
__I received many good things for my birthday and I have found good use for them all. The majority of my gifts were bath and body works items and lovely smell goods for my body. I guess it's obvious that I really enjoy these kind of things. Now I have a wide variety of scrubs and body lotions to select from when I'm cleaning myself up. I love being me ....
