Early Birthday Gifts

Well, I got a couple of early gifts for my birthday, which is actually next month. I got a Wacom Bamboo One graphics tablet, which I LOVE!!! I've been working with it a lot. I love drawing, and I love animating too. This thing is great for both! I hate drawing using a mouse. My drawings never come out as good as I would like them to when I draw them with a mouse. But this tablet is awesome for doing drawings! I am working on some animation clips (in between packing our things). The clips feature a little bit of movement, nothing fancy, just to practice a few screen tests. I've been doing the drawings in Paint Shop Pro, which I also enjoy working with. It's an old version, but still very good! It does what it's supposed to! Then I put them together using Windows Movie Maker. The finished projects I will put up on YouTube. This one is going to be a few seconds, I'm already 36 frames into it. My animation is not perfect, but I keep practicing. It will get better if I keep up the practice. Then when I begin taking REAL animation classes, I will have a little smidgen of experience that I can pull foreward with.

My second gift is something that most women would not appreciate getting, and that is a vacuum. I love it too! It's got hepa filtration, and it's powerful enough to pick up pet hair. It's just what I need! My old one, that ma gave me when we first moved here, died. I "buried" it in the back yard. But this new one is awesome!! Actually, I now have 2 vacuums! I inherited another one from ma and John when they moved out of the apartment upstairs! But that one is more like a large dirtbuster with a hose. Of course it depends on the size of the house we move into next, but I'm keeping both vacuums. One can be to clean the downstairs, and one can be for the upstairs.

Unfortunately, we did not get the condo unit in Bozeman, so, I am looking for others. I scour Craigslist every hour now! Anna looks for ads in Bozeman's newspaper. It's tough!! Everything in Bozeman is either way out of our price range, or only has one restroom, or does not allow pets! I even found one that turned out to be a scam. Anna warned me not to write to ads that only have an e-mail address! I wrote to one that sounded promising, and the guy who wrote me back turned out to be (again) from Nigeria! I wrote him back and said "Forget it. I'd rather rent from someone local!" Well, I found another one last night, but it's in Livingston! Livingston is about 20 miles away from Bozeman, and there is a big pass in between the two. But the house sounds wonderful!! We may have no choice but to take it! At least until we can find something good in Bozeman. But the guy was not even intimidated nor turned off when we mentioned we have 3 dogs! I told Anna to tell people that upfront. We'd better be honest with them from the get-go! Some ads say they only allow 1 or 2 dogs. 2 dogs maximum. But honestly, I think those landlords expect people who have dogs are going to have big dogs, like labradors or golden retrievers. These dogs are tops in property damaging! They have it down to an artform. My little chihuahuas and papillon are not destructive at all. They are well beyond their demolition days. Not that they ever were ruinous anyway! But unfortunately because of a lot of irresponsible labrador and golden retriever owners (and there are many), my dogs are considered rental vermin, making it hard to find a place. I've given up on Belgrade, because the town only allows 2 pets per household. I have one too many. That would mean I would have to get a kennel license in Belgrade. UGH!! If I was still breeding chihuahuas, I wouldn't mind it, but I'm not breeding dogs anymore! So to me, getting a kennel license would make about as much sense as a pot with no bottom.

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. We may have to settle for whatever we can get! What ever turns out to be available when we need it. I love my dogs, and I don't want to get rid of any of them. I'd also rather have a house with more than one bathroom! That is a must! Those usually have more than 2 bedrooms. But that's OK! I can use an extra bedroom for a study/computer room. It'd be better than what I have now. LOL! I'm only kidding! I love it here! I wish I didn't have to leave, but I have to. I have no choice now, there is no turning back! But who knows? Maybe I will love our place in Bozeman so much I might never want to leave. Never know for sure until it happens.

Disasters of the Decade

I was just sitting here, watching this program about the earthquake and tsunami that happened last month in Japan on the National Geographic channel. I saw previews for it last weekend, and I wanted to see it. I thought it was going to be more like a documentary, but there was very little documentation. But it did show all 6 minutes of the earthquake. It was scary! Made me think back to the time we lived in Lakewood, and there was a rather large earthquake that happened. The quake was actually centered in Aberdeen, but I felt it there too. I remember that day. I was in the kitchen fixing lunch, and Anna was going to college there and she came home that day to have lunch with me. I was about to roll out some buttermilk biscuits in the kitchen, when the quake struck. The dogs started barking, and once they felt it was a real earthquake, they all ran and hid under my old antique sofa. I was standing in a spot where I could actually look out into the back yard, and I saw what looked like waves rolling in the grass. It was a strange sight! When that quake lasted longer than about 10 seconds, I really panicked! At the end of the quake, we were both OK. Thank GOD! The poor dogs were too scared to come out again. The power was out for sure! Well, that was it. We had to find someplace to go out and eat. Anna's school closed down for the rest of that day, so I took us both to a little restaurant about 25 miles away from Lakewood, because everything in that town was out of order.

Now, I never claimed to be clairvoyant, but I remember predicting that this last decade was going to mark the end of humankind. This was in 2000, before I heard anything about Nostradamus, or the Mayan calendar. What made me think that was that several people I knew were dying, and the year 2000 I had more friends having babies than I've ever known in any one year of my life! I said in a journal posting that year that something big was coming! And I never believed in Y2K. Not ever! That was one thing I didn't fall for. Especially not how the media was saying the outcome was going to be. They were saying it was going to end with all the computers of the World going out of whack. I kept thinking "how can a date make a computer shut off?" And all kinds of computer outlets, like TigerDirect, were putting out software to prevent Y2K from affecting your computer. I just never fell for it. I thought it was ridiculous to sell software like that. It wasn't until the following year, in 2001, that I heard about Nostradamus' predictions, and another year later when I heard about the predictions on the Mayan calendar. Then back in 2008, I was sitting and reading my old journal from 2000, and I remembered reading the entry for when my stepmother's mother died. That same week, I had 2 other friends die. Neither one knew each other, and died in unrelated incidents. But that was what made me say "Something big is coming! I don't know what, but something big is coming!" I thought it was a war or something!

Well, I was basically right. It may have been for a silly reason, but I was basically correct. Look at all the disasters that have been happening. First, 9/11 happened more than a year after I made that journal entry. Then almost 2 years later, the war in Iraq. Then a year later, the tsunami in Taiwan and Sri Lanka. Then almost another year later, Hurricane Katrina. In 2008, the inauguration of Obama. In 2010, the earthquake in Haiti, and the volcano in Iceland. And now this year, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. And it still continues to this day. OK, the Obama thing is just a joke on my part, but still! The rest of those caused massive deaths, and suffering, or some kind of losses. I was damn lucky we were not hit with a tsunami here. Well, I knew we wouldn't be. Ocean Shores hasn't had a major tsunami in more than 150 years. They just don't happen here very often. I think it's because of our location. They go around us, but they never strike us. Because the tip of Oregon shoots out farther than we sit here, and we're also kinda shadowed by the tip of Washington state. We would have to have a major offshore earthquake here close to town in order to be hit with a tsunami. But we did have a bit of a scare when the quake hit in Japan.

I kinda wonder what the heck is going to be next. I hope that Yellowstone doesn't explode! If it does, Anna and I will be toast! So will so many others, as Bozeman is a college town, and a lot of students go there from all over the World to attend school. It's one of the best schools in the country! I cannot wait to see it myself. Anna is signing us up to go on a dinosaur dig this next summer. I always wanted to do something like that, so I told her we're there, dude!! As long as I can bring the dogs, I'll be happy! Or at least find a reliable person to watch over them.

Power to Speciesists!

So now that I have found out that speciesism is a real thing, I carry that title with pride! I am proud to be a speciesist! Because I will forever believe that what animals I like is my own choice! No one elses'. And if I choose to keep some animals as pets, and eat others, that too is my own business. No one else's. So I carry the moniker "speciesist" with the utmost pride. It's nothing at all like being a racist! People who are Jewish, black, white, oriental, hispanic, they are still humans, our real brothers and sisters. They should have basic human rights. I also believe gorillas, chimps and orangs should also have basic human rights, because they are species of Hominids. I also think it's criminal to kill a dog or a cat, because to a lot of people, myself included, they are a part of our families. I say save baby seals from human slaughter, because they are a part of a large, complex ecosystem. And if they die, the ecosystem breaks down. And all those dumb hunters want from the babies is their skins. They don't even eat the meat and that makes me MAD!! But cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, etc. They are NOT our brothers and sisters! They are not even in any way remotely related to us. They are only here because we bred them for food. So I say, eat them! hehe! For that reason, I agree I deserve the title of "speciesist". But then I think the word "speciesist" should be applied to all living things that look after their own, or think their species is far greater than all others, which is just about every species of animal on the planet. Just like it isn't only white people who hate blacks that are racists. But also blacks who hate whites are also racists.

Now, don't get me wrong. I have vegan friends and I love them! But the fanatics get on my nerves! Just yesterday, I was hit by another one (a little residue) who calls herself Technowhoree. She commented on my sis's video about diet myths. This is what she had to say:

Hi TimmyGal!
I love watching all of your videos, they are simply hilarious. I just wanted to say one thing... Your anti vegetarian remarks are inconsistant with actual results when thoughtfully applyed, ofcourse. I have been vegan for six years of my life and my doctors are stunned by my health, I am also a competitive athlete. This might sound unbelieveable to such a hillbilly idiot such as yourself, but it is true. Good day. :)

At first, she sounded nice. And I thought she was trying to be congenial. That is until I got to the last sentence. Then I realized this person was yet another fanatical vegan anal wart. I got a load of this statement:
 
"I am also a competitive athlete."
 
LOL! I was thinking, "So what?! She could be the flyweight champion of the world and it wouldn't mean shit to me! She'd still be nothing but a skinny wimp whose ass my former boyfriend could easily kick." She probably looks like Kate Moss--No boobs, and probably has a schlong. I wouldn't be surprised! Anyway, I wasn't going to, but I decided to respond to her, with a little tit-for-tat:
 
@Technowhoree I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks for watching. Oh BTW, I've been eating meat all my life, and my doctor was amazed I am the age I am, with almost no problems associated with my weight. I know that that is hard for a stupid-ass vegan such as yourself to comprehend, but keep trying. Something will jumpstart that pea-brain of yours. ;) Buh-bye! :)


And then I added:
 
@Technowhoree Oh yes, I forgot something....
POWER TO THE SPECIESISTS!!! hehehe! ;)

After that, I blocked her butt from my channel. Looks like I am going to have to do that to all the vegans who I don't like from now on. There's been some that have been nice, but people like Technowhoree, I need to start blocking them. Just like I took to blocking Hobofart and his friends. I put up with him for a while, but then I started blocking him and everyone that I even thought for a second was in any way associated with him. But there is a MAJOR difference between Hobofart and the vegans. Hobofart was like the angry, jealous husbands you see on those domestic violence movies, who gets pissed because he doesn't get enough attention, and he becomes totally obsessed and follows people all around the internet, and harasses them with the intent to somehow harm them. The vegans are not like that. I don't get those same vibes from the vegans. They're more like a little kid who keeps repeating the same thing and is just simply annoying. And no matter how many times you tell that kid to shut the hell up, it just keeps repeating the same thing over and over again. Like a song stuck in their heads.
 
As for being a hillbilly, well, I'm more of a redneck, but I'll settle good with hillbilly! LOL! So I am going to wear that name with pride as well. I even changed the title of my channel. I now call myself "A Hillbilly With Fattitude". If a hillbilly is the same as a speciesist in their eyes, then I will do fine! I'm actually proud to be a speciesist hillbilly. At least I know that I, as a human, am not the only speciesist creature in the world.

In Denial

Well, I had to close down the ability to post comments on all my vegetarian/vegan videos. I really hate having to do that! But I did it for a reason. Actually for 2 reasons. First of all, I did my research, and I found that a completely vegan diet is not 100% good for me. I debunked the myths that this guy, Gary Yourofsky claimed in his speech were true. I don't believe in "speciesism", and there is nothing anyone can say that will make me believe that it is anything more than a comical artifice. So as far as I am concerned, the subject is CLOSED!!! Time to move on to other subjects. The second reason is simple. Hearing the same shit, over and over and over and over again, gets OLD!! Answering with the same response gets old just as quickly! The vegans are always going to say "You are an ignorant and uneducated woman" and I'm just going to give them the same response each time, "You are just in denial!" This morning alone, I got 4 different people giving me that same comment, and each time, I gave them that response. It gets old, dull and boring after a while. Besides that, it makes me feel gauche! Repeating the same thing and reading the same thing got very vexatious!! The vegans are too cowardly to come here and read my blog, which would explain everything. So, they continue to say the same things on my videos, and it gives me a headache after a while because I'm sitting here slapping my head with my hands, thinking "GEEZ! Can't you people come up with some better responses than that??!!" No matter what I would do, I could have the best scientists and doctors on the planet say that a 100% vegan diet is not good for you, and the vegans will still say that myself and these scientists and doctors are uneducated. Because we would be telling them something they don't want to hear and don't want the public to know or take seriously.

A lot of them seem to think they are smart or funny, when they're really not. Many of them are nothing more than the high-priest of anal warts! Especially the fanatical vegans. I got a couple of them saying that they wonder why I am not embarrassed to show my videos. Well, I can answer them in one well-worded sentence: Because I know I am right! Just because a number of vegans are going to tell me I am wrong, or uneducated, does not make it so. Just because they don't agree with me does not mean I am going to throw the towel in and say "forget about what I read during my research, the vegans are always right, so I'll agree with them!" Nope. They are not always right. My studies proved some of their theories wrong. Gary Yourofsky and Ingrid Newkirk are NOT my gods. Just because they say it does not mean I am going to believe it. Yourofsky is nothing but a journalist. And if he is a journalist who works for an ARA group, I would not even take what he says as the gospel. They really do very little research. Researching what other ARAs have to say is not researching! It's only getting one side of a very complex story.

Being very contemplative here, do you really think humans were meant to be pure vegetarians? If so, then why do vegans have to supplement their diet with artificial vitamins and minerals? Why don't vegan humans have pot bellies like other vegetarian animals? Did you know that a lot of animals that are perceived as strict vegetarians occasionally do supplement their diet with meat? Yes, it's true. Deer in Britain often eat birds. Pigs are omnivores, pure and simple. Even cattle have been observed supplementing their strictly grassy diet with the flesh of other animals. There is a species of antelope (same family as the cows) called the duiker that also feeds on birds, mice and small reptiles, on top of plants and other greens. It's not a far stretch for a vegetarian animal to turn to eating the flesh of it's planetary companions to occasionally supplement their plant-based diet. Like I said in my last post, that's LIFE!! Take it, or leave it. I remember I once watched a video from Onision, and he said that the convergence is happening, and vegetarian/vegans are going to win this battle. But I don't think they are. All their actions are going to prove is that they are just unpretentiously annoying. You will NEVER get what you want by just being annoying. All you will get in the end is a black eye, or a fat lip, or a nose bleed. In the past month, I can tell you that the level of vexation these people display is unparagoned and maniacal! But then it usually is when you have people repeat the same shit over and over, and then try to push their beliefs on you. I just want to say to the people who said I was ignorant, naive and uneducated to F-off! Katrina thinks I should use that phrase more often. I asked Katrina not to jump in again, and she's been pretty good at not getting involved. Not that I don't appreciate her doing it. She's funny in fact with some of her reactions, and she makes me laugh! But when she gets involved, it makes me feel like I cannot stick up for myself. And I know I can.

I don't mind that they all disagree with me, that does not bother me. They can hate me all they want to, that's perfectly fine! They don't need to like me. They can even sit around and call me every name in the book. Doesn't matter to me! But to constantly hear "you are ignorant and uneducated" when it is perfectly clear I know WAY more than they do, it just gets old very fast!! Then to give them the same response "you're just in denial", that too gets old, and that statement is clearly a fact! I have no intention of changing my ways. Even less now that the vegans have tried to pester me into it. Not gonna happen! My grandma's aunt ate meat every day of her life, and she lived to be over 100 years old. So that debunks the myth that vegans live longer than meat-eaters. And no, that is not only my opinion. That is a fact! So really there is no conclusive reason to go vegan, except maybe ethics. And I'm not one of those whose heart bleeds for cattle, pigs or chickens. But yes, I do love my dogs, and they love me back.

I remember some years back, I saw a video on the Pluba forum of the Chinese cutting up wild raccoon-dogs for their skins. And they would mutilate these dogs while they were still alive. The animals were even still alive after they had been skinned and then thrown into a pile of other skinned dogs. Now, that video I could not watch!! I have dogs as pets, and the way those wild dogs were treated was horrendous!! The way the people in China treat animals is horrendous!! This past week, I read about these turtle keychains, which is a completely enclosed plastic container, with a small, live turtle and colored water and beads inside. The turtle cannot get out, and it cannot breathe, and slowly suffocates to death. After the turtle is dead, then what? What would you do with the keychain?? I wouldn't want to carry around a keychain with a dead turtle inside it. And besides I think that is inhumane, simply because it is a slow, suffocating death for no other reason than human embellishment. This is why I do not buy furs, and I do not condone the sale of real furs from inedible animals like foxes and mink. At least if it's cattle leather, then I can say nothing from that cow has been wasted. The cow completely served it's purpose. But nobody eats foxes and mink! This is the only thing I completely agree with vegans on. I do not buy animal skins. Particularly not skins of animals that cannot be eaten. It just feels wrong to me to just take the skin and throw the rest of the animal away.

This is all I have to say. If you are a vegan, and you disagree with my post, that is your prerogative. If you are going to try and push your beliefs on me, I suggest you F-off and go find another target that you can more easily convert! Someone who is a total wuss. Your comment won't be accepted either, as I am not going to get into a "you said this, and I'll say that" conflict with you. If you want to discuss without throwing around the word "ignorant", and "uneducated", or any words corresponding as such, I will discuss. But I will still believe you are in denial.

************************************************
OK, so I stand corrected that there is no such thing as "speciesism". It was actually first quoted in 1970. But just because I have been corrected on that issue does not mean that I now believe in it. If you're going to use that word to describe this kind of human behavior, you might as well use it to describe all other normal animal behaviors. Like how hyenas kill zebras, or lions killing antelope, or Minnie killing squirrels, etc. Why pin that label only on humans? That doesn't make sense to me.

This or That?

Did you ever read the story "A Tale of Two Cities"? Well, this blog post is going to be somewhat like that. LOL! Just having a little more fun with some of the vegan viewers on YouTube, especially this one who calls himself TheAdamdeck. I have a 2-part video up now debunking some of the myths Gary Yourofsky made so clear in his speech. Now, I could never go vegan! I love chicken, milk and cheese far too much! Apparently vegetarians are different, they eat chicken, fish, milk and cheese. So if I were to convert to anything, it'd be that. But I have no interest now in converting. But I do have vegan friends, and I totally respect their point of view.

Well, TheAdamdeck believes totally in "speciesism", and so I called him a wuss. IMO, anyone who believes in that is indeed a wussy, because there is no such thing as "speciesism". I still say that, and I will always believe it. Well, TheAdamdeck believes that when we pamper dogs and eat cows, we are practicing "speciesism". That's totally dumb! That's not "speciesism". That's LIFE!! One of the first things I learned in my adult life is that life is never fair! Why was Vegas born alive, while his brother was born dead? Why do some people like cats, and not dogs? Why are some people rich, while others are poor? Or barely make it in life? Why are some animals, like rabbits, antelope and deer, always getting eaten, while other animals, like lions, wolves and bears, are not? Why can parrots learn to talk, and not finches? Why do elephants live to be 70+ years old, while mice only live a maximum of 4 years? Why are some kids bullied, while others become popular? Why do all these things happen? Because that's LIFE! Deal with it.

Take me, I love animals. I wouldn't have my dogs if I didn't. But I don't believe my dogs are equal or superior to me. They are lower life forms. They're wonderful, but they are not our equals. But to be fair, I'll give this guy a challenge. He suggests we treat cattle with the same love we give dogs. Well, show me a video of a person sleeping, and snuggling up with a cow on their bed, then we can talk about cattle and dogs being equals. Actually, that's just the way our American culture is. If you want to go to a place where cattle are treated like our equals, then move to China! I saw one vegan commenter today say that she never even kills bugs! I'm thinking "So what happens if you step on an anthill or get too close to a bee's nest and they start biting and stinging you? Do you just slowly go sit down and gradually pick them off one by one?" By that time, the ants and bees would have that person almost stung to death, or nearly eaten. I wouldn't take that chance. And there is one thing that I do not tolerate at all; cockroaches! Nothing would drive me out of a house faster than seeing a cockroach crawling along the floor! I can't stand them! They get in your food, and dump all over it, and they spread diseases. And houseflies, you know how many different kinds of diseases they carry? More than 100! You know where a housefly has likely been before it gets into your home? They look harmless for sure. But they are really filthy, disease-laiden creatures! They eat animal droppings, then when they get on your food, or kitchen counters, they puke up their last meal, and then slurp it back into their bellies. This can spread salmonella, cholera, typhoid, and whatever the animal died of that the fly last fed on. Could be anthrax for all you know! I don't like houseflies in my house either!

Then, you have bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and lice and those things are all evil!! It makes me wonder, how many vegan people actually allow all this stuff into their home, and don't want to get rid of them because they don't believe in killing animals? Yet they think nothing about killing other people. I've had my life threatened by vegans. Katrina did too, and her family was threatened by a vegan. Of course one of my friends told me that the vegans that threaten other people are what is called 'fanatics'. She said she saw vegans on Martha Stewart and thought of me. The first question out of my mouth was "Did they act like jerks?" This friend said no, they were actually very nice. I said "That's good. Most of them have the mentality of 'if you don't live your life the way I want you to, I'll bomb your house and kill your family!'" That was when this friend told me those people are the fanatics. MsPearlsGirl was definitely a fanatic! As I believe this guy TheAdamdeck is too. Well, one good thing, they would never be welcome in my home, as I am sure I wouldn't be in their's. And that is perfectly fine with me! Especially if they have lice, bed bugs, fleas and cockroaches. Those things could easily latch onto their clothes, and they would wind up bringing them in here and I can't have that!

Funny thing, "fan" is a shortened word for "fanatic". I consider myself an INXS fan, but never once have I threatened any non-INXS fans. There must be another word for what I am. LOL!

And most vegan men are wimps. I hated to say this to one of my buds, as she loves vegan men. But they are skinny wimps! I'd rather have a man with some fat and muscle than to have a twig hugging me. Even vegan men with muscles look wimpy. A man should never be wimpy, IMO. That's because plants have nothing that helps you bulk up. My former boyfriend could probably break those "muscle-bound" vegans in half on the first attempt!

Weekend at Dad's

Well, to say the least, it was an interesting weekend. I don't get to see my father very much so, this past weekend was supposed to be a treat. I did realize one thing, dad and I don't know each other anymore. All week long, I could not wait to visit him, and I was excited to see him again, and thrilled he was going to let me stay there with my dogs. But the weekend was not what I had hoped for. He's a wonderful man, and I do love him. I let him know that. But we were not cut out to live under the same roof. We fought all the time. Calm moments were few and far between. The problem is my father likes to control people, and I don't like being controlled. It's one thing to be controlled on a job, and I do realize that is his house. But he wanted to control every little thing I did. He wanted to control what time I went to bed, what time I got up, when to put my dogs outside, and we even got into a major fight because I would not eat this scrawny, fatty steak he wanted to give me. I'm not used to being controlled for those things. I like having those basic freedoms in my life. It got so bad, he was threatening to send me home right then and there. And believe it or not, I wouldn't have minded. I was ready to go home! I tried to smooth the steak incident over by asking if I could have chicken instead. But he said no. By Monday morning, I had had enough. Dad wanted me to stay and have breakfast, but I said no. I just wanted to get out of there and get home as fast as I could!

Dad asked if he could help me in any way and I told him he could pump the gas for me at the gas station. LOL! That made him happy. I wanted to make him a little happy before I left, because I was afraid it would be the last time I might see him, ever! Because we are moving to Montana in May. I don't know if I will get to see him before I go. And I know I sure won't see him after I move there! He'll never come to visit us in Montana. He even said he's not going to help us pack up our things this time. But you know what, I didn't leave him with a sour note. I didn't want his last impression of me to be that way. I told him I love him, and I will always love him. And I do. He is my father, after all. And he did have good intentions when he invited me to his place. Its just that he and I come from two totally different worlds. After my gas was in the tank, I was ready to go home, and I made a swift beeline for Ocean Shores. I was never happier to see home than I was at that moment. When I arrived, the first thing I did was take a nap! I didn't sleep good at all when I was at dad's place. He wanted me in bed at 10 PM and I am not used to being in bed that early. I never fell asleep until about 1 AM at the earliest. So, I didn't get that much sleep. As of this day, I think I am still recovering!

When ma got home that day, I told her all about that weekend. She thought the whole thing was so petty, especially the steak incident. I told her I know it was, and I did try to smooth it over in a way where both of us could have been happy, but dad just would not have it. It was like I had to eat what he ate, or I had to leave. No sooner had I told ma that story, dad called me on the phone. The first time he called, he hung up. I could not understand why. Then I tried calling him, and all I got was a busy signal. I figured maybe he was trying to call back. Sure enough, he called again. He asked if I got home OK and I said yes. Then he apologized for being a jerk. He said he thought about his actions that weekend and realized he had acted like an old fool. hehe! I told him I accept his apology and I forgave him. I mentioned we both sort of acted like jerks. So that was the end of that.

Well, I am sick and tired of the Craigslist forums. The people on there are so snooty and judgmental! UGH! So I don't go in there that much anymore. One person, who calls herself MsCynic and I got into a big battle because I don't like cats in my house. But there is good reason why I don't. I don't like cats getting on my kitchen counters and putting their dirty feet where I prepare food. Anna had looked into staying with a roommate, and the last one she looked at for both of us, the woman had 6 cats! I couldn't live there! I thought she only had 1 or maybe 2. That I could tolerate until we found a place of our own. But NOT 6 cats!!! Well, MsCynic got all bent out of shape because I don't care to have cats in my house. I just let her have her little run until she attacked me on a totally unrelated thread. A troll had posted pups for sale, and I responded (knowing it was a troll, mind you), and MsCynic said "It's a troll you noodle!" LOL! I just said a big "DUH!!" That shut her up! hehehe!

I think out of all the people on that forum, the one that I absolutely abhore the most is this one who calls herself OCD-Aussie. I cannot stand her at all! Not even the slightest little bit. I don't think there's anyone on any forum I hate as much as I hate her. GOD forgive me for that! But she just makes me want to smack her across he face so hard! She is so judgmental! And she never posts unless it is to bitch and gripe about something or someone. She never helps anyone out! She just bitches. She claims her life is not miserable at all, but I think she's just putting up a front. It probably is very miserable, and she just doesn't want to admit it. I know I said ColliesRock was bad, but I've noticed she's at least been helpful in some threads. She's given some people some good advice. For a while I didn't like LuvMyAkita, but she too has also been helpful at least some times. But OCD-Aussie is not helpful at all! All she does is gripe. I've never seen her post on that forum unless its a thread she can bitch about. She never helps anyone, she never compliments people's pet photos, she never lets loose and has fun, she just does nothing but bitch, moan and gripe! I must say I feel very sorry for any pets or people that are imprisoned with her. She's nothing but a dirty, stinky butthole. And people wonder why I have zero respect for show breeders. People like OCD-Aussie is why!! I'm sure if she tried, she could offer up someone some great advice, but she doesn't. All she does is bitch and moan on that forum! IF she does ever offer anyone advice, she does it in such a way that is so hateful and vindictive, no one wants to hear her. Why she goes in there if it upsets her so much is beyond me! It'd be great if she would just leave the forum, and never return!

A New Change

Well, as anyone who has been reading this blog since the end of last year knows, I will be moving to Montana. Looks like again it is inevitable! My ma and I talked about it last night and something has suddenly come up for her, and she's going to have to quit her job here. I feel bad, I know she loves this job, and she really does not want to leave it. And I really don't want to leave this area! I love it here! But the only way I can really stay here is if I win the lotto or something! And that is not likely to happen! I've never had that kind of luck before. But anyway, so it looks like we will be moving officially in May. In some ways, I cannot wait. And in some ways, I still say I don't want to go! Anna was telling me how she had to deal with nosebleeds for the first month in Montana!! UGH!! I have enough trouble here with my sinuses! I don't need them to get worse! But I have to adjust.

Anna said she already found a place for us to stay temporarily while we look for a place. But there are a few problems. The house sounds wonderful and it's close to the university. The woman has cats however, and a big dog, a mutt! I don't like mutts. This mutt is half golden retriever, which is double bad news! They're hyper dogs. And Anna said when she visited the house, the dog attacked another dog, a black labrador. That has me worried. I would have to see how it interacts with little dogs before I commit to this agreement. The dog gets along good with the cats this person has, but I don't know if it will be able to tell the difference between a chihuahua and a cat! The cat thing also worries me. Not everyone is conciencious about fleas on their pets as I am. And cats are big contributors of fleas in an environment! That's one of many reasons I do not like cats in my house. But I can tolerate it for a couple months. IF they don't have fleas! I should have Anna tell this woman to give me a call and I can ask her all I need to ask her.

Well, this move will mean all kinds of new changes in my life. I've never moved out of state on my own before! I haven't lived in a different state since I was a kid, that was when we lived in California temporarily. I was a young child and it was easier then for me to adjust to it. I don't know how I will adjust to this move. I don't know how long it will take to adjust to this move. I've also never before lived that far away from the family! At least when we moved to California, we still had family with us. But in Montana, we have nobody! I am in a way also trying to talk Anna into moving someplace closer by. Like Salem, OR perhaps. Ma lived there before and she liked it. I would like it better than Montana, because of the atmosphere is more like it is here, instead of being so dry like it is in Montana. Anna said it's so dry there, she has to constantly keep putting lotion on her hands and stuff. That would SUCK having to keep doing that day in and day out! Plus Salem has Willamete University, which Anna can continue her studies at. But Anna has already found a place that says they can give her a job in Montana. I'm not sure I can find exactly the same thing in Salem now. I could try though. At least I can go to Salem, check out some apartment buildings and rental homes, and perhaps check out some agencies that can give Anna a job for the summer. I can do that in one weekend, and still be able to come home. Salem is not as far away as Montana.

Well, one thing about living in Montana, it will be an adventure. It will be a totally different experience. I just hope I don't get discouraged while attempting to adjust to this change. I'm kinda on pins and needles for 2 different reasons. After ma told me that I need to consider moving to Montana sooner than I expected, I was in shock! So much so, I couldn't even take my nap! I suddenly felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. Odessa could tell I was upset too. LOL! When I tried to take a nap yesterday, she huddled right over me and did not move. But once ma told me she had to quit her job here in town, there was little doubt in my mind that it's time to make our move. We had to get out of here.

Well, on the lighter side, I have now another group of 'fans'. Yeah, fans like the delusional mods were fans. LOL! The vegans have begun attacking me on Facebook. I happened to find out by way of one of my new friends, who tagged me in a comment. I'm sure she meant no harm, and I am still her friend. But I saw the comments being made about me by people I don't even know. They were so hysterical! In a weird way. These people were accusing me of trying to push my beliefs on them, and all that kind of jazz. It was funny hearing them say things like that, because in no way at all am I trying to push my beliefs on vegans. In fact, if more vegan/vegetarians would be like me, the world would be a more peaceful place and they would not have the savage reputation they have now. I don't push my beliefs on people. And I don't threaten anyone with violence, or call them names, just because they do not agree with me. Yet, a lot of vegans do all of that. These people (on the Facebook page) were such dumbasses, most of them didn't even watch the whole video before commenting. If they would have, they would have heard my disclaimer that I am in no way trying to convert them from their beliefs, and I always say "If you want to go vegan, then go vegan." I always leave the choice open to them, and I discussed and corrected what I know is not true. Yet they stand in castigation over me. Their problem is that of most vegans all over the world. They take everything out of context and twist it around to take on a meaning of their own. One of my new friends and I got into a discussion about this, and even she said that she enjoys my videos because I DO NOT try to push my beliefs on her. And I never will. In fact, I have praised her to the hilt for being a vegan and keeping with that choice in her life because it's done so well for her. And I mean it. I wouldn't tell her I am happy for her if I didn't mean it.

Fear of the Truth

Face it, people hate it when their beliefs are proven wrong. That is a fact. And no one is more in denial than hardcore vegans and vegetarians. I sometimes wonder if they are in some kind of cult, because they all seem to think and feel the same way. Not saying they are all bad, I have some vegan friends, and as people I like them as much as I like all my other friends. Just like all groups of people, some are good and some are bad. Some are just downright evil. I finally just eliminated one of the most evil people that I've ever met on YouTube, and that was MsPearlsGirl. Anyone who says they want to see someone's kids die is truly screwed up and needs to seek professional help. She wasn't just bad. She was pure evil! I know I am a little nutty, and I usually like other people who are just as crazy as I am. I even sometimes joke to my sis Eva that she needs to find other homes for some of her kids. But that's just a joke, and Eva knows it!! But MsPearlsGirl is the kind of crazy that needs to be behind bars, with the key thrown away or melted away, one or the other. She truly gives vegans a bad name, and they know it.

Anyway, I recently made a 2-part episode debunking the myths one man, named Gary Yourofsky, told about veganism. Gary Yourofsky is one of those vegans who acts out for animal rights. If he was doing it for animals that really need help, like endangered mountain gorillas, I would be on his side. Though there is no chance that I would become vegan. But he's doing it for animals that we slaughter for food. And yes, in my research I found we truly need meat in our diet. Yourofsky has been arrested 13 times, and banned from 5 countries. I'm thinking OMG! That's nothing to be proud of!

Well, I knew that once I posted up my videos debunking Yourofsky's theories, that the vegan shit-fit-fest was going to start up again. Sure enough, it did! I knew my theories and research was going to be challenged. It didn't take long for that to happen either. I'm surprised more vegans haven't shown up and shat their pants yet! In my research, I tend to stay away from ARA groups, because I know they are going to be biased, and usually complete douchebags! And I don't listen to douchebags! There was one site that I hit to actually try to prove that veganism is the best for our health, I wanted to do a comparison. The site was stevepavlina.com and he wrote a blogpost about humans supposing to be herbivores. Here is the link: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/09/are-humans-carnivores-or-herbivores-2/. The problem I have with his blog is he is a complete douchebag! Look at how disrespectful he is to people who disagree with him in the comment section. And as far as I see, most of the commenters are just trying to disagree in a civil manner. Not calling him names nor anything. Just give thier point of view. Steve Pavlina also argues in the comments section that humans have foreward-facing eyes so we can read better. As if to say we evolved binocular vision so we can read books!

Most of the time, when I argue veganism, I tend to look at our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees. Chimps are truly omnivorous. The only purely herbivorous ape is the gorilla, and we are not in any way closely related to gorillas. But gorillas do have the trademarks of a pure herbivore. They are big, slow-moving, and have pot bellies and powerful, crushing jaws. Plus they have to eat a lot, about 60 pounds of food per day, just to get all the nutrients they need. Chimps are a whole other story. They are smaller, move faster, and do not have the size bellies that gorillas have. Only the young specimens do. Check out this article about the comparison of our diet vs. that of chimps: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~stanford/chimphunt.html. This guy even argues that a vegetarian diet is definitely good for us, which leads me to believe he is not biased. But at the same time he knows that a mixed diet is better. Chimps are the only apes besides ourselves that hunt. But almost all apes (except gorillas) are known to take in meat in one form or another. Orangs have been known to eat eggs, and grubs. Bonobos also hunt small animals, though their meat intake is less than that of chimpanzees. For information about that, check out Walker's Mammals of the World.

There really are very few purely herbivorous primates, less than 50% of the known primate species are herbivorous. That is, they do not take in any form of animal protein at all, except maybe an occasional accident. Here is a list of purely herbivorous primates:

Family: Lemuridae
Varecia (2 species)
Lepilemur (26 species)
Hapalemur (5 species)
Prolemur (1 species)

Family: Indriidae
Indri (1 species)
Propithecus (8 species)
Avahi (9 species)

Family: Cebidae
Cacajo (2 species)
Alouatta (9 species)

Family: Cercopithecidae
Colobus (5 species)
Procolobus (10 species)
Trachypithecus (17 species)
Presbytis (11 species)
Semnopithecus (7 species)
Pygathrix (3 species)
Rhinopithecus (5 species)
Nasalis (1 species)
Simias (1 species)

Hominidae
Gorilla (2 species)

Total is 125 purely herbivorous primates. Really out of those, the only ones that really count are those closest to us, the gorillas. Some families aren't even listed because those families of primates have no purely herbivorous species. Those families are the Cheirogalidae, Lorisidae, Galagidae, Callithricidae, Tarsiidae, Daubentoniidae and Hylobatidae. Of course I didn't count subspecies, I figured the separate species were enough. But a total of 125 purely herbivorous primates in an order of about 350 species closest in relation to humans is enough to tell me that humans are not deer, or cattle. We were never meant to live purely herbivorous. Animals that are purely herbivorous have specialized digestive tracts and methods they use to fully digest plant matter. For example, the colobine monkeys (the monkeys listed under the family Cercopithecidae) have digestive tracts almost exactly like those of rumnents. Other herbivores, like rabbits and gorillas, reingest their own feces to get all the nutrients they need. Not that we couldn't do that, but would we? Who is going to eat their own feces?

On top of that, Yourofsky also equated human emotions onto animals. While there is no doubt that animals feel sadness and joy as we do, he implied that animals that have never been off a farm before, know that they are heading to slaughter. This is so not true! Animals cannot read. They have no idea what they are being put on a truck for. Animals cannot know what the word "slaughter" means. Yourofsky says animals are "self-aware". But they are not. Not in the same way humans are. You tell an animal he's stupid, and he'll just look at you and continue what he's doing. He won't care if you call him that! Because he doesn't understand what you are saying. Some animals can learn to recognize sounds, like their names, and learn to come when they hear their names. But that's after some training time. And that only goes for some animals. But no animal out there is ever going to learn to associate the word "slaughter" with "death". Or even the word "kill" with "death". I think Yourofsky watched Charlotte's Web too many times!

Not only Charlotte's Web, but also Dr. Doolittle 2! For him to use the word "speciesism" in his speech was a little too off the wall. In my video, I stated that word was made up by Eddie Murphy for the sake of comedy in Dr. Doolittle 2. It's not a real word! It's one thing to be a racist, but there is no such thing as a speciesist! Never was, and never will be. I said in the video that I hate panthers, I can't stand lions, leopards or tigers. People get arrested for being racists, but am I suddenly going to be arrested because I hate panthers? And as for us thinking our species being superior, it's natural to look after our own species. No other creature in nature is going to sacrifice it's self for another species. I said I want to see a video of one species (other than a human) purposefully sacrifice it's own life to save the life of another species. I've never seen any other animal do that except human ARAs. Though I will even sacrifice my life to save my dogs, but that's a different story. I chose to bring these dogs into my home, I chose them to be a part of my "pack". And as their pack leader, I will defend them viciously from harm. But I have no pet cows, pigs or chickens, and I will not bother to sacrifice myself for them. Thus I will not sacrifice my health for them.

As for the health benefits of becoming a vegan, opposed to maintaining a mixed diet, my grandma had an aunt, everyone affectionately called her "aunt Dump", her real name was Mary, and she ate meat every single day of her life. It wasn't all she ate, but she did have meat, veggies and bread for every single meal. She died in 1995 at the age of 102 years old! She was a healthy woman then too. In fact, for her 100th birthday, she went for a helicopter ride. It was something she wanted to do her entire life, and when she turned 100 years old, the family took her for a helicopter ride! While I will not say that there aren't some people who can survive nicely on a strictly vegetarian/vegan diet, I don't recommend everyone try it because not everyone is the same. Just as some people can spend their entire lives smoking and not get lung cancer, some people can follow a purely vegan diet and not have any ill effects. But since being a vegan almost killed my grandma, I fear it may have nearly the same ill effects on myself. I choose not to take that chance. For another former vegan's point of view, I urge you to visit this blog: http://voraciouseats.com/2010/11/19/a-vegan-no-more/. I believe I have posted this before. But I say again, check out her blog.

Crossing the Line

OK, this morning, our 'friend' crossed the line. I can handle name-calling and all that good stuff. But MsPearlsGirl totally crossed the line this morning. Now, she is even beginning to make threats. Even though I know they are empty threats! I mean, what is she really going to do to me? LOL! She doesn't even seem like the type that would really carry out any threat. Evil as I do see her to be! Besides, she'll never find me. Even if she did, she'd never get through my door. And even if she did show up here, I'd just sit on her and break her back! LOL! If that doesn't work, I've got pepper spray and spider killer. If I catch her, or any stupid vegan here to carry out her threats, she'll get a heafty dose of that. :) But anyway, I find threats of any kind (empty or not) completely unacceptable and uncalled for. Again I ask, is this civil? I mean, vegans talk about how we are civilized now, and don't need to kill any living thing. Is it civilized to threaten to harm another person? Yesterday, Katrina kept urging me to block MsPearlsGirl. I said I couldn't. Because up until this morning, she didn't really do anything wrong. I know she was calling me names, and I could sense she is an evil person (like I said, I'm a damn good judge of character). Katrina sensed it too apparently! But up until this morning, MsPearlsGirl didn't do anything really wrong. She had a right to her opinion. For me to block someone just for having an opinion goes against everything I believe in. But this morning, she was making threats and being totally disrespectful to another one of my viewers, who seems to have more class as a vegan than MsPearlsGirl does. I won't stand for that. If you ask me, vegans like MsPearlsGirl are the ones that need to be totally eradicated, and leave the more classy ones here. LOL! That's a joke, BTW. I would never do a thing like that! Not even to MsPearlsGirl. Well, leave karma to come and get her. I told her to take her nonsensical droning elsewhere. Then I blocked her.

Well, now, I want to extend my deepest condolences to the people of Japan. They were first struck with a major earthquake, and now a tsunami. They had a deep double-whammy! I have a couple of friends in Japan, and I am hoping that they stay safe! We had a tsunami warning here too. Ma was here and she woke me up saying that there is a tsunami warning in this area. We live about a block from the beach, so that was a major concern! Though I know we almost never really have tsunamis here. There hasn't been one in this town in (I think) about 150 years. Japan has them all the time. I have one friend that moved there from the US. She now lives in Okinawa, which she said was not struck by either disaster. I was glad to hear that! Katrina came over yesterday to see that I was alright, and I told her I was. And we spent the day together. She helped me clean the house a bit. She too heard about the tsunami warnings for this area on Friday, and she just wanted to visit to make sure I was fine. Anna also heard about the warnings out here, and she said she wished I could come to Bozeman. LOL! A little too far for now.

"TimmyFat"

hehehehe! I had to save this comment by MsPearlsGirl. Yesterday she was the first person to win a place in my new Dim-wit Hall of Fame, which is a new page I started to display the most dim-witted comments I get on YouTube from clueless people like her. Check it out! Just like a number of vegans, she is a hypocrite. She stands against killing animals for meat, but doesn't seem to mind supporting BYBs and PMs.

She claims to be a 36 year old vegan, who looks half my age. Yet she has no pics up to prove it. I made an announcement on my dog breeding video about the new page on this blog, and MsPearlsGirl as much as gave me permission to talk about her. So I guess all is fine. :) This was the comment she made:

"That's fine, Timmyfat. You can't get anyone to fuck you, you hideous thing. Perhaps if you had compassion, became vegan and lost a tonne of that flab, someone might just want you."

I love it that she called me "Timmyfat"!! hehehe! I think I actually mentioned that somewhere back in this blog (or on one of my videos) that I wondered how long it would take someone to come up with that! LOL! I like it, but Timmy may not. Sorry Timmy. :x Don't worry dude, she means me, not you! Oh and of course, like all uneducated individuals, she brings up sexual overtones! LOL! Cool!

Anyway, in my research yesterday, I found out a lot of people who claim to be vegans are actually closet omnivores. That is, they also consume eggs, fish, chicken, etc. in smaller quantities. The problem is that most of them are afraid to admit it because other vegans will jump them. In order to become a full-fledged vegan, that is to get all the nutrients our body needs to function through veggies and fruits only, we would have to eat a number of fruits and veggies that are actually so rare, you can't get them at any typical grocery store. Either that, or take a lot of supplement pills, which is unnatural. Again raising the question vegans have about living an "all natural" lifestyle. No, I am not putting down vegans here, this is the simple truth. This is actually part of the truth they don't want you to know! Well, I called out MsPearlsGirl. This was my response to her:

"@MsPearlsGirl LOL! I bet you can't get laid either. You're probably a fat-ass yourself, you're just hiding it. And from what I've read so far, a lot of self-proclaimed "vegans" are actually closet omnivores. No doubt in my mind you are one of those too. You're just too scared to admit it because from what I see here about you, you're a spineless person. LOL!"


I'm a good judge of character! LOL! So now I've decided since she's given me permission to talk about her, I'll have a little fun with her. LOL! From the research I've done so far, a lot of people who tell you they are a true vegan, and eat absolutely no animal products, are complete LIARS!!! They are obviously not as healthy as they make themselves out to be. A balanced diet is what is important. I'm not denying there are some people who can do good on a vegan diet, but most people cannot survive on a truly vegan diet. MsPearlsGirl is definitely one of those that is most likely a closet omnivore. Either that, or a wholly vegan diet is eating away at her brain. LOL! She's one of those that would give vegans a bad name. Here is her response to me from my last comment:
 
Nope, you fat miscreant blobby mass, I weigh 55kg, which is about as much as your left leg. I'm vegan, which means I don't eat nor wear any animal products. My vegan boyfriend fucks me, but he wouldn't go near you if he were drowning in a sea of piss and you were a tree. Can you walk? I bet you need one of those motorised carts that geriatrics use. Weird, considering you're 36 but look 56. 


Her spelling, and basic subject-selection skills tell me she is NOT a 36 year old like she claimed she was. I looked at this post and thought to myself "She's not 36! She's 12 years old if she's a day!" That's just judging by her writing skills! So anyway, I decided to have some fun with her. I could have a lot of fun based just on this paragraph alone!! These were my responses to her:
 
@MsPearlsGirl LOLOL!! Keep trying to convince me. Your actions speak louder than your words. ;)



@MsPearlsGirl <----- is a fat-ass! A fat-ass! LOL! Like me, only at least I don't hide it. ;)



@MsPearlsGirl Oh yes, and just so you know, I don't believe you are 36 at all. LIAR!! You're probably like 10 years old, and just looks 36. LIAR!! LIAR!!! You closet omnivore. hehehehe! ;P


And you want to take a guess that this "boyfriend" she spoke of is not even a boy? It's probably a girl. That could be who "Pearl" is. Am I worried that a lesbian girl thinks I'm a "fat, ugly, incompassionate miscreant"? Hell NO!! LOL! I'm honored in fact. I'm straight. I'd hate to break a lesbian's heart if I have to tell her I only like guys.

Pro-Vegan, Anti-Choice

Over the past week, my vegetarian video got quite a lot of attention. Not that I mind it, really. But you know what happens when these crazy vegans get together on a video. Who sent them there, I don't really know. I can only speculate. But that is really not that important. It got so wild in there, people began spamming the comments section. I don't like spammers. So, I began deleting and blocking the people who spammed. By spamming, I mean people were posting the same comments 3 or 4 times. I had a hard time keeping up with the clean-up! I realized I could not do that anymore and keep up with my daily work. So, I eliminated the possibility of posting comments. I like interacting with my viewers, but spammers are nothing but annoying. Actually, most vegans are nothing but annoying! I try to keep an open mind, so I can hear all sides of a subject, but some of these people were crazy! I mean crazy as in absolute lunatics!! So far though, I can say my life has not been threatened yet, like some other people who had close encounters of the weird kind with vegans. I'll get to that in a minute.

These people argued that I need to do more research. The thing is, in that video they were commenting on, I was mostly referring to PETA, and all their "research". They were laughing because I mentioned something about cattle passing gas (as if I were the one who originally came up with that). No, I got that theory too from PETA. That's why their laughing at me did not bother me. I felt like they were not laughing at me, they were laughing at PETA, which I do that myself a lot of times. They were like "looking at your body condition, speaking out against veganism, makes us want to go vegan." They can go vegan if they want to. The reason I brought any of those 'ridiculous subjects' up was to mock PETA. Everyone by now knows I do not like PETArds forcing their beliefs on me, giving me their 'research statistics' which have been taken out of context, which is something PETA typically does. PETA hires people who will tell them what they want to hear, and eliminate the people who do research and tell them a mixed diet is better than a strictly vegetarian diet.

The other factor is not everyone can do well on a vegetarian, or vegan, diet. I have met several people who have tried a strictly vegan diet, and did not do too well. Of course I am happy for those who have tried it and did very well. Nobody's results are typical. Just like nobody's tastes are typical. I cannot do well without meat. One reason is one of the biggest contributors of the iron mineral in the vegan world is broccoli. You cannot pay me enough to eat broccoli!!!! I have tried it and I cannot stand it!! I tried it even with some cheese, which should drown out a lot of the flavor, I still hated it!! I can't even stand to smell it cooking. Cauliflower does not bother me, beets are borderline, celery and carrots I adore! I'll even eat lettuce, other leafy greens (as long as they're raw) and cucumbers. But broccoli, avacados, anything that has that metallic taste, I cannot stand it. I puked it back out. It may be my taste buds, but to me, broccoli and avacados have a metallic taste. I won't eat them. You cannot pay me to eat them! I could never become a vegan. Not without taking mass iron replacement supplements. My body is already sensitive to iron and B-12 deficiency. I don't know if that is genetic or not, but if I go without iron and B-12, I quickly become anemic and I more quickly than usual wind down.

There was one person who captured my attention. He came into my video to insult me, but he quickly apologized for his actions, and asked me to become his friend on Facebook. He told me he could save my life. So I invited him. I like to keep an open mind. And since he, himself said I should do more research, I took him up on his offer and invited him to become one of my facebook friends. Vegans like him have a much better chance of converting me than those who throw insults and bullshit. Though, like I said, I could never make it as a vegan. So far he has shown me a couple of interesting videos. One was of a man who is dead at 29 of a heart attack. He started a restaurant that he admitted served food that is not good for you. I say, he knowingly served unhealthy stuff, and he got what he should have got. Another was an hour-long video of a man who has been arrested many times for going overboard standing up for animal rights. While I do not agree with that, he did bring up some interesting facts. For example, the pus in milk. GROSS!!!! He said the FDA allows one eyedropful of pus in the milk taken daily. I will admit that is disgusting. But that is why milk is pasturized, to kill those bacteria. And if it's only an eye-drop-full in all the milk that is taken daily, and it's pasturized, it won't hurt anyone. It's just disgusting to think it's in there. This friend asked me to keep an open mind, so I am. I always like to stay open-minded. But when it comes to PETA, my mind is, by default, closed.

Well, I knew when I took down my discussing vegetarians video, that the nutty vegans would raid my other videos. What they seem to be forgetting, that is my channel! Sure I put my videos out there, but that is my prerogative. My videos reflect my opinions, and my opinion is PETA tells you only half-truths. Yes they are true, to an extent. But PETA is closed-minded to opposing opinions. Ask anyone who has tried to debate with Ingrid Newkirk. I've seen videos of debates with her, and she alienates anyone who presents her with facts from the other side. She interrupts people, she gets rude in all ways, she laughs them off, and you can almost see her ears closing when someone tries to talk to her with facts that blow her beliefs. That is why I don't like her or PETA, and I will not listen to them, or anyone that supports them. At least I am looking at this vegan side with an open mind (with this new friend anyway). The people who are using insults and other bullshit, I will not listen to them. Because I see them to be no different from the PETArds.

I love animals, but I do not believe they have the same rights as we get. It just doesn't work out that way. We look after our own species. It's that way all over nature. Each species looks out for it's own. Sure different species associate with each other, but that's a fluke. Like monkeys and deer. Monkeys do not intentionally follow deer around, nor vice-versa. But the deer like to hang around under the trees where monkeys are hanging out and feeding, because monkeys often drop green leaves that the deer cannot reach. In turn, though it is a favorable accident of nature, deer have a more advanced sense of smell and can actually smell when a predator is nearby. Thus sounding an alarm, which the monkeys have learned to recognize and sense, so they can get to safety fast. But that is the extent of their association. The deer do not sound an alarm for the monkeys. That's just how it works out. It's not being "specieist", it's life. LOL! I remember when Eddie Murphy was the first to quote that word in Dr. Doolittle 2. Good movie! I love Eddie Murphy. In that movie, it was meant to be comical. I was stunned when this man I mentioned, who had been arrested many times for overdoing animal rights activities, used that word in his speech. I was like, "My goodness! That was supposed to be for comedy! Not to be taken seriously!"

Well, the reason I choose not to follow most vegans, whether or not they associate with PETA, is because I have seen how they work. Most of them resort to childish name-calling. Take a look at some shithead comments from some of my videos here from vegan/vegetarians. This first one comes to me from someone who calls herself dstkl96. She commented on Mikessa's video about diet myths. Typical PETArd response (which she all but admitted she is). Ears closed and mouth opened, and taking things out of context:

I think its hilarious you think you are in any way qualified to speak about diets and eating right. Too funny.


But get this, at the time this comment was posted, she had no pics or videos up of herself. She could at least put up a video proving Mikessa wrong. The thing she doesn't know is Mikessa is no stranger to hard work and research. She researched literally for days to get the info she got for that video. I know Mikessa very well. Well, dstkl96 does have a degree, a BN in nutrition according to her. A degree at the University of Phoenix, which as most of us know, is a correspondence school. Not saying they are bad, but any school that has to advertise on TV is most likely not accredited. While Mikessa is now in Bozeman, MT at MSU, which is one of the top 10 universities in the country. And as far as I know, she is doing good. Like I said, she is absolutely no stranger to hard work and research. So, I think Mikessa does qualify to give her opinion on that video. Though even I don't understand why she called protein a vitamin when it's not! That was a mistake on her part.
 
Well, here's another shithead comment by someone I identified as a spammer, who calls himself summerturner8. He posted this comment twice, which in my eyes, is the mark of a spammer. This was on my "Diets Don't Work" video:
 
"Wow you are a great spokesperson for why diets DO NOT WORK! rotfl
of course comment pending approval loll omg"

Well, this was my response to him:
 
@summerturner8 That's right. I aught to know better than anyone. :)
"of course comment pending approval loll omg"
Of course. I can also ban people who spam, like this.... ;) (hits the block user button on summerturner8's name)

Then I went to his channel and told him next time to only hit the reply button once, then he won't be blocked for being a spammer. LOL! I showed him! It looked like from this point on, I was going to have to assert some authority on these people who were telling me how to run my videos and my channel. A lot of these people were calling me "lady", "woman", "fat", blah-blah-blah, you name it, they threw it. LOL! As if that's going to get their point across to me! LOL! Another person, who calls herself kaipirinhaheu, probably the biggest asshole of them all. She even attacked Katrina, who came into my video, and even accused her of being me, which as my friends and family know, is ludicris. Kaipirinhaheu stated that because she could not get Katrina to agree with her on her comments, that she is obese and narrow-minded. LOL! Lots of people think Katrina is obese simply because she is friends with me. But she's not obese. At least what I call 'obese', which is someone like me. Katrina only stands 5 feet tall, and her highest weight was 108 pounds. That to her was fat, it was right after she had her second child. But normally she only weighs about 100 pounds. Kaipirinhaheu is a dumbass that just makes me want to slap her hard! I know I have the option to ban her too. But instead, after she attacked Katrina again for the second time on my channel, I told her
 
"I will thank you not to attack my friends under my supervision."
 
Katrina has a right to be there. Katrina is welcome on any of my videos. She stands by me, I stand by her. I stand by all my friends. Kaipirinhaheu is not a friend, and never will be. I'd ban her ass before I let her attack Katrina on my channel again! And for the main reason why I won't listen to most vegans/vegetarians, check out this website by this person. Not so much what she said about her experience being a vegan, but what they said and did to her after she had to stop following a vegan diet, which almost killed her. They threatened her life and the life of her family. Is that right?? I said it before, we look after ourselves. That's nature, that's life. Vegans talk about how eating meat for us is unnatural. Well, it's unnatural for us to care about other species to a point where we sacrifice ourselves. If a wild dog takes a monkey and not a deer, do you think the deer care? If a hyena takes a wildebeest and not a zebra, do you think the zebra care? Is the zebra going to throw it's self in front of a pack of hyenas and say "Here! Take me instead! Leave the wildebeests alone!" No. Why? Because we look out for our OWN. That's just the way it is. Many animal rights activists also argue that we are now civilized and don't have to follow what early humans and apes did. Well, again I ask, is it civilized to threaten to kill someone and their family? I've heard many vegans threaten people who prefer mixed diets with rape, murder, bombing, torture, etc. Is it 'civilized' to do that? I personally don't think so. But if someone can find a way to civilize those actions, let me know. Then we will revert back to apes and cavemen.
 
But I am keeping an open-mind to both sides. I listen to this friend on Facebook, he does have some informative videos. But there is always something to debate. It's really an on-going vicious cycle though. As I take in more information from their side (I will admit, it wasn't all there when I made that vegetarian video, but that was more addressing PETA and it's tards), I will keep researching both sides as well. Though I gotta say, the milk thing still disgusts me!! LOL!

Goodbye Tim Farriss!

No, I am not giving up being a Timmy fan. Never fear! I say goodbye to someone on Facebook who was pretending to be Timmy himself. Even had his e-mail address up on his info page, and everything! This is serious! But to Timmy, who may or may not be reading this, don't worry! I won't bother you. I didn't even take down the e-mail address!! I wouldn't do something like that unless he himself actually gave me permission to. But this person on Facebook, I knew he was NOT the real Timmy all along. There were several reasons that stood out why I didn't believe him. For one thing, he had a picture of Jon as his profile pic. It's so easy to mistake Timmy for Jon if you don't know what to look for. But I can tell the difference almost immediately. It's obvious this person, pretending to be Timmy, could not. But in all fairness, now that Jon and Timmy both have skin-tight hair, it makes it a little harder to tell.

I knew he was not the real Tim Farriss all along, but I figured he must have been an uberfan of Timmy's! So I thought it would be cool to have him as a Facebook buddy. So I invited him. Well, this dude was nice, but he kept saying he was the real Tim Farriss. I never believed him! But he kept maintaining he was, even to other people. There is something wrong with someone like that who maintains he is someone he's not! Especially in a group of friends. Some people actually believed him! That's why this is so wrong on so many levels! Because there are people who are blinded by the novelty of being friends with celebs. This person took advantage of that. Probably because he wanted to be noticed, and he wanted a lot of friends. Some of my friends wouldn't have it at all! Not even him as an uberfan. They were invited by this individual to be friends and they blocked his request. The only reason I invited him to become my friend was because I saw him as just a mega-mega fan.

There is apparently also a latino INXS group on Facebook that thinks they are going to become official. But they never will! One of my friends was in that group and he got threatened because he called them out, and the ringleader of that group said anyone who supports him or agrees with him will get banned from the group. Which I think is stupid!! This friend believes the ringleader is the same person who pretended to be Tim Farriss himself. He could be! I can't say myself because I haven't even visited that group, and I have no plans to! I'll stand by my friends, always! Well the Facebook account this guy called Timothy William Farriss (Timmy's full name) is no longer there. He got deleted. I knew it wasn't going to last personally because people behind the scenes were discussing reporting him, which is always a good idea! It's one thing to be a mega fan, but this chap went too far! I didn't like the fact he put Timmy's e-mail address up without his permission. That made me MAD!!!! But he did have some awesome pics on his page, but that's the only reason I went to his page, for the pics. And also to see the people who posted on there.

There was one girl among his friends, her name is Crystal, she believes anything! LOL! I was not surprised she thought he was the real Tim Farriss, she's dumb as a bucket of bricks!! LMAO! I do NOT like Crystal at all! She thinks she's the smartest person on the face of the planet and that everyone else who doesn't agree with her is stupid or is being unrealistic, but she's absolutely not. She's one of the stupidest and most gullible people I've ever seen in my life. You could go up to her and tell her you'll sell her the Golden Gate bridge for $5 and she'd actually buy it! LOL! There was another page she was on that was labeled Jon Farriss and she actually believed that page was run by him too. LOL! I only like seeing her posts because she makes me laugh at what a fool she is! I have some mutual friends with her, but that's as close as she's ever getting to me! I do NOT want her as a friend!!! She looks down on so many decent people. She thinks she's so smart, when really she seems more to me like she is just slightly bordering on the mentally incompetent line. In fact, I know people with autism and asperger's that are more intelligent (and decent) than she is! I sometimes wonder if she knows how to tie shoes.

I have to wonder about anyone who puts down decent people, or people they do not agree with. Those kind of individuals have no business being among other people. But anyway, I digress. Don't fall for the scams surrounding the band. In truth, the only band member (as I understand it) that does anything with social networks, or even the internet, is Kirk. But even with him, you've got to be careful! I had someone come in this blog a couple years ago and respond to a voiceblog I put up, saying he was Kirk. Or she. LOL! Frankly, I didn't believe it was him. Because first of all, Kirk isn't going to give 2 shits and a damn what I think of him!! I'm just one fan. I can't change the minds of his fans. Just like I really do not believe Timmy cares if I like him or not! I don't believe he gives a damn that I am one of his biggest fans or not. Doesn't matter one way or the other to him. There is really something wrong with someone who is pretending to be someone they are not. I love Timmy, but I would never pretend I was him! I never even pretended to be his wife!! I could never do that. Timmy's wife is a much better-looking woman than I am!! LOL! Speaking of which, I wonder how she is doing?? Last I heard she was diagnosed with leukemia. It'd be nice to know how she is doing now. Believe me, if I thought this Facebook account holder really was Tim Farriss, the first thing I would have asked was how his wife was doing!

Well, this is my first post on my new computer. So, if I make some punctual mistakes, you'll just have to forgive them. I'm still getting used to this keyboard, and my screen being 5 feet away from my face. I spent too long with my laptop sitting in front of me that now I am used to it. I still haven't sold my laptop yet. But believe me, I have given up trying to sell it on Craigslist! Wanna hear something funny? I got a message from someone the other day who said "You should keep your laptop, you have such a negative attitude!" I just responded with a simple "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I got sick of the scammers." I wanted to tell that person to read the ad a little better, and add that I got nothing but scammers asking me to ship this laptop to somewhere, and offering to pay me with phony PayPal accounts. After the 4th time, it gets bullshitty. I would have said that, but my guess was this person was a hit and run troll, and probably would delete my e-mail unread. So, why waste my time. Just send a little somewhat of a thank you note, and come here and talk in detail about it and what I should have said. LOL! :p

Part 3 Scammers!!

I got another message today from someone else interested in the computer I have for sale. But today, I got the jump on this one! The person asked first if I still had the computer for sale and how well it works, and asked me why I am getting rid of it. She also asked me to send her pics. I said I could do that if she is still interested, and yes the computer is still for sale. A few minutes later, she wrote me back about the computer. It was in this letter that she revealed to me again that she is a scammer. She showed all the classic signs of being a part of this PayPal scam. This was the letter she sent me:

Thanks for your reply and am glad to know that it is still available

for sale.However i have few questions on the item you are selling.
1,I would like to know the reason why you are selling it?
2,What is your firm price though am okay with the listing price ?
3,Do you have the original box with the accessories?
4,Do you mind if i pay you through paypal though i would be willing to
add an extra dollars to cover the shipping because am not local at the
moment i am out of town on a rig offshore and i would like to purchase
this item as a gift for someone very special to me at overseas.
If you do not have a PayPal account, you can do so by going to
www.PayPal.com and set up your account it is free,easy and guarantees
transaction safety.Once you send me your
paypal email account, I will send you the payment for your item as
well as US $120 to cover shipping via USPS Registered Mail.
I would be glad if my request is favorably considered.
Thanks

When I got this e-mail, I said to myself, "Ohhhh BROTHER!!! Here we go again!" This is the third scammer that has contacted me about this darned computer! Well, now that I have had a little more experience, I decided to get the jump on this person. I am getting very sick and tired of these damn spammers! Some of the things that identify this person as a scammer are these lines:

"I will send you the payment for your item as well as US $120 to cover shipping via USPS Registered Mail."

"am not local at the moment i am out of town"

Yeah, sure she's not local. She's probably also from Nigeria! Well, I am sick of this. So, this is what I wrote to her:

Hi. Thanks for your reply. Yes, the computer is still available. I am selling it because I am upgrading, and I'm getting a new desktop. The price is not firm, I will entertain offers. I do have the original packaging and all accessories. If you want it, I can give it to you in that. I don't mind PayPal, but you absolutely MUST pay me through PayPal's official site. So far, I have gotten 2 other people from Nigeria, ask me to ship this computer to them, claiming they put money in my account via PayPal. But on closer examination of the supposed e-mails from PayPal, they were discovered to be fraudulent e-mails. Thankfully I know what to look for, and I will NOT in any way, shape or form send this computer to you, unless I actually SEE the money in my PayPal account, which I will check once I get the supposed e-mail. NO EXCEPTIONS! And NO EXCUSES. And I know how to identify spammers right away. If you are truly willing to go ahead with this transaction, you can send the money to XXXXXX@XXXXXXXXXXX.com. Once I get that confirmation, and I see the actual money in my PayPal account, I will send your computer tomorrow. Thank you.
DDR
PS, I know all about the PayPal escrow scam, so please don't try to pull that one on me. :)

Yes, that was the e-mail I sent back to her! LOL! When I sent that e-mail, I did not expect to hear back from her at all! And I didn't. I know for sure she was trying to steal my computer, just like the last two did. But just like the last 2 individual scammers, she was not about to get this computer at all until I actually saw that money in my PayPal account. Don't these dipshits know that an intelligent individual is actually going to check their paypal account and see that the money is not there???? Of course they could also say what the last person said, thinking they could get away with it on a technicality by saying the money is in escrow. Not everyone would think to call PayPal and ask if there even is such a thing as escrow, which is why I am writing about this in this blog. Hopefully people who read this will learn from my experience. I'm a very jaded person! I trust NO ONE! And I pick up on things right away. Which is why I didn't really believe that first scammer when she said the money is in escrow. Though the e-mails did look official, if you know what to look for, you can avoid losing your items you are trying to sell.

Well, this time, I took off the old ad, and decided to edit it with a new ending. This is what my new ad reads on Craigslist:

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop available for sale. It is a model P305D, with 4 Gigs of RAM. The screen is 15 inches wide, and in 64-bit HD. 250 GB memory. DVD drive (not a recordable). Built in webcam and microphone, and Wi-Fi. Comes with bonus software MS Office Professional 2007 installed. Ideal for students!! Asking $400, but will accept offers! Serious Inquiries ONLY please! Scammers are immediately identified and will not be considered. If you are a scammer, you should know that I didn't just fall off the turnip truck yesterday!! I will not ship to Nigeria, and I will not accept PayPal. I will only accept cash.

This stops the scammers before they start. I hope! So far though I have gotten a couple of responses. Let's see how well it goes.

PayPal Scam Warning!

OK, so I am peacefully trying to sell this computer over Craigslist. I tried in my local CL section and got almost zero results. It was disappointing! So I decided to try another area. I tried the Tacoma-Seattle area of Craigslist. I got almost immediate results! I got several inquiries about this computer. I was asking for $400 for this computer, but figured some people may instead offer me $300, which is what usually happens. I expected it. So I entertained offers. Well, this morning I woke up to about 4 messages in my inbox all inquiring about this computer. I answered all of them. Only 2 have written me back, and they wanted to have the computer shipped to them. Well, Craigslist advises against that, but I played along anyway. They both offered me the full price, PLUS an extra $150 for shipping. Sounded reasonable, but I told them I would have to have the money today. As soon as I got that money, I would ship the computer to them.

Well, one of them sent me the money, through their PayPal account. This is why I absolutely HATE dealing with Craigslist!!! So many people taking advantage of one another. The e-mail that was sent had PayPal's official logo. This was what I got:

As you can see, the top of the page looks official, but the body of the letter has too many spaces where there should not be any. Another thing that caught my attention was this guy's address. When I scrolled a lot farther down the page, I saw this:

Notice his address is located in Ife, Osun in Nigeria, and his name is very different than the name he has on his PayPal. Well, I looked up the address, and sure enough it is a verifiable address. But what gets me is the guy lives in Nigeria, and he could not meet me (actually he would have met my ma), but said he was buying this computer for his son who is overseas. OK, I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I was still iffy on this Nigerian transaction. Something about it felt wrong to me. Then almost immediately after getting this e-mail, I got another one, which also looked official, but said something very different than what I had seen PayPal send:

Again, it looks official with the logo on top of the page, but take a close look at this line:

It said that this person has transferred money to my account, but that it is being held in ESCROW. I didn't know PayPal had ESCROW services! But it said that I will get my money when I provide them with a tracking number that I am supposed to get when I send this computer off. Well, something smelled fishy, and I still sensed something was not right. So, I e-mailed the guy again and told him that I got this message, but that I cannot send him anything until I at least got the money for the packaging and shipping. He kept on demanding that I send the item NOW!!! I told him he will just have to wait. I also told him that I would like to contact PayPal and ask them about this ESCROW service because I never heard of that service before! And it doesn't sound like something PayPal would offer. I didn't hear from him after that. I looked all over PayPal's website and saw nothing about escrow services. I even looked in their Merchant services section and got nothing. So, I called PayPal.

The man I spoke to said that PayPal does NOT have escrow service, that it is nothing but a money exchanging site. I looked closer at the e-mail, and there was something funny. I looked at the e-mail address at the top. This is an official e-mail from PayPal:

That is their OFFICIAL e-mail. Here is what is on the fraudulent e-mail:

Notice there is a difference. You can barely notice it, but there is a period after paypal.com that does not belong there! It just goes to show that you should check the address carefully. Well, when I contacted PayPal, they said they know all about this kind of transaction, and that it is a scam. So please, if you get an email from someone from out of the country, and it's not on ebay, be careful!! Shoot! Even on ebay you have to be careful, look at the ratings from the people who purchase from you. Good buyers will have good feedback. I've got 100% perfect feedback, which means I may be purchasing from out of the country (as I often buy from the UK), but I am a good buyer! I've never scammed anyone.

Well, I e-mailed this guy back and told him that I contacted PayPal, and they told me the e-mail was a scam. So I told him if he would like to send me the money from the official PayPal site, I will be glad to send him the computer. But I warned him that PayPal does not have escrow services. Believe me, I do not expect to hear from him again any time soon!

And remember when CrystalK said on my old MySpace blog that I am so easily misled? LOL! Well, I can seem that way, on the internet. Because I often like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Unless I know better. For example, I didn't buy for one second that Mcgillicutty was a 50-something year old man! A teenage boy I would have had an easier time believing, but definitely NOT a 50-something year old man! Men in their 50s generally do not do the things Mcgillcutty did. I've seen 50-odd year old men at their worst, and Mcgillicutty did NOT in any way fit the description. So I knew better than that. CrystalK always wants everyone to think the worst about me because I don't like her. LOL! Which is fine by me! No one decent or intelligent is going to believe her anyway, because she has never met me. And it's her own fault I don't like her, anyway! She should stop acting like such an ass-hat and get rid of her double-standards. I mean, I don't mind people speaking their minds like she does. But she doesn't like to give anyone else the right to do so without her jumping down their throats and cussing them out. That is why I don't like her! I never do that myself! I speak my mind and I like to have others tell me what they are thinking. That is the whole point of having something called 'a discussion'.
