You already have that niche, if you would just alow yourself to fit in. Real familys come in many forms, not only blood…

You never need to be anything but yourself, for anyone else. Change need only be for you in “your” time… Be true to yourself, no one else!

It is important to remember that defects are only set aside, not truly gone. And our ability to rationalize inappropriate behavior is astounding. Of course, I can only speak for myself. Lu

This is going to sound pretentious as hell, but I’m going to say it anyway.
It is oftentimes the simplest of gestures from others that demonstrate what we mean to them. A smile, a touch, a handwritten note, a look into our eyes. The people around us can do these things, but in the end, it is our responsibility to take and our choice to make as to how we will push ourselves to be the people we always hoped we would be. It is inevitable that we will feel – as you did – that we deserve some type of punishment for disappointing those around us, but that passes when we realize that the people who love us do so not because they expect something in return from us, but because they wish only the best for us. You’re surrounded by people who care a great deal for you. This makes you wealthy beyond the dreams of even the most avaricious. And that, in my opinion, is truly well-deserved.
Audrey said:
on April 20, 2006 at 2:37 am
In the end it is only ourselves whom we let down the most. You have shown an incredible amount of courage to be able to pick yourself up and keep going. You have so many people around you who love you very much and pull for you every day, how can you not succeed?

Not taken as fact, but mostly true nonetheless!

Dee,This one really got to me as I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. I have lost enough to know exactly what it took to write this! Things sometimes do happen for a reason…
Annette said:

I’ve always thought it astounding the connections that people make – even the most innocuous can have greater consequences than we would ever know at the time. You were fortunate to know Ed. He sounds like a person we all would have liked to have known.
Ffej said:
on May 16, 2006 at 7:54 pm
It is very hard to lose someone so close to you. You will never forget him as he will always be in your heart. He is with you everyday and he will let you know every once in awhile (like finding the sticker), he will never forget you either!
Dee said:
on May 16, 2006 at 8:41 pm
I’d never thought about it in that way, always inserting MY beliefs. But perhaps Ed is watching us all, taking care that no harm will come…thanks, sis.
Audrey said:
on May 20, 2006 at 7:08 am
I truly believe that we are all here to live, love laugh and learn. And you are here just as much for all of us as we are here for you… Can’t imagine life without you in it. Can’t you see how you have touched all of our lives as well? There are dark days for all of us, it is just how you find your way back to the light again.
We are all here to help each other rise above it if we open our hearts…

What’s it all about Alfie? I am just too tired these days to think that hard. Let me know if you figure it out will you? Lu
Dee said:
on May 21, 2006 at 10:00 am
Pardon my ignorance, but who the Hell is Alfie? I know I’m missing something here.
Audrey said:
on May 21, 2006 at 11:40 pm
Part of an old song. “What’s it all about Alfie?” Maybe someone else can explaine better…
Annette said:
on May 22, 2006 at 12:08 am
Alfie is the main character in an old movie starring Michael Caine and a remake starring Jude Law (which is, in my opinion, not as good as the original, but remakes generally are not). Alfie is a serial womanizer who has to face a series of unfortunate events (a la the Lemony Snicket movie, which, as it happens, was narrated by Jude Law). The question “What’s it all about, Alfie?” is from the title song, and is basically a question about what it says: what’s it all about, why are we here?
Don’t you love trivial items inserted into the midst of something serious?
Dee said:
on May 22, 2006 at 6:27 am
Well yes, actually. If it answers my questions. So thanks y’all.
Annette said:
on May 22, 2006 at 4:52 pm
My, aren’t we cynical?
Love is, and always will be, a precursor to loss. Because that’s the cycle of life. If we knew nothing of loss, we would know nothing about the value of the other people walking this planet with us. Being shackled by a fear of loss so great that it interferes with that appreciation of loving and being loved by others is a tough thing indeed.
Dee said:
on May 22, 2006 at 5:24 pm
I don’t like precursors. They suck.
Audrey said:
on May 22, 2006 at 6:39 pm
I agree with the first girl! Who wants to live life in the shadows of your own darkness? We were meant to love and be loved!
Zoe Ann said:

Have a safe trip. Love you. Lu
Sinick said:
on May 27, 2006 at 10:17 pm
Yeah. A safe trip complete with a stolen identity. Can I be you for awhile? Because I certainly can’t be me. That Gee Oh Dee, what an ass. I bet I hate God right now way more than it/he/she hates me…Even though I know intellectually that it was my own damned fault. So just ignore that last comment.
Audrey said:
on May 30, 2006 at 7:52 pm
I agree! Instead of a day of remembrence, it is now another excuse for a three day weekend and parties! Not that I didn’t enjoy the one on Sunday! This should be a day for them, not us!
Zoe Ann said:
on May 30, 2006 at 9:05 pm
So glad to be home! I happen to agree with you but was hoping to find something happier. Love,Lu
Dee said:

Sorry, but as you all know, I have to purge my rage somewhere. And thanks to Eh-net, it’s not on those whacked-out, cracked-out drivers on 95!
Annette said:
on June 9, 2006 at 5:19 pm
Heavy topics indeed.
My mom always kicked us outside when I was young, but that was a long time ago when things (and people) weren’t quite so strange. Even with the little ones, they were outside a lot – up in MD, we had a large backyard with a fence, so no worries about them running out into the street. During the summers up there, we always spent a lot of time outside: at the park, swimming in the river, playing ball, etc. Then again, our family has always been fairly active, so maybe we’re not the best gauge of tossing the kids out the door in the past x years.
For your immigration thing: we can’t even take care of people right here in this country decently, so I’m not sure that sending money out across the border is a grand idea (and I’ll leave my question as to where that money would come from out of the equation). Yes, Mexico is beautiful, as are places in Central America (Belize jumps to mind), and yes, the people often live in squalor (Belize City itself jumps to mind), and yes, all those people want to come here because the worst of what’s here is better than the best of what’s there for them. I understand this perfectly. Whether to give illegals rights to anything…I’m not all in favor of that. They should be afforded the same basic protection as any other human being, but I don’t want non-citizens voting, for instance. They can vote in their own elections in their own countries, if such things exist, or they can go through the process of gaining citizenship, just like my ancestors did.
You already know I disagree with you on capital punishment. Rather than do away with it entirely, I’d like to see better safeguards built in if new evidence does come to light or if the evidence used in the case was shown to be improper or just wrong (like the DNA matching, which these days is light years ahead where it used to be). Court decisions in the last few years limiting timeframes on pleadings based on updated technology have left some in limbo unnecessarily, and that’s obviously not a good thing; however, intellectually, I’m quite aware that 99% of the people sitting on death row are in fact guilty. I have no particular moral objections to society doling out punishment as it sees fit based on due process – unlike, as an example, certain Middle Eastern countries where justice is a complete joke. If society here thinks that capital punishment is no longer the answer, then society can alter the laws to remove that type of punishment, just as has been done in some states.
Annette said:
on June 9, 2006 at 5:25 pm
My heaven is right here, because I’m not a believer in anything beyond this (although that would be a grand cosmic joke, wouldn’t it, to find that there is, or find myself coming back again). Everyone is scared of dying, to some extent or another, but if I were being honest with myself I would say I’m more scared of my mom dying than scared of death myself. Might be because of my personal brush with the distinct possibility that I could have died from the cancer that invaded my body. But I didn’t, and I don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about my own death as much as I do the deaths of those around me whom I love – and even then, the thought only bubbles up from time to time. It’s all part of the greater cycle, and me worrying myself to death (so to speak) over it does no one any good.
Audrey said:
on June 10, 2006 at 9:08 am
At least you know what you want, and what you don’t. As long as you are not leading any one on, this is an ok place to be… If, and I say if, the time is right, you will know it without doubt. Untill then stand your ground!
Dee said:
on June 10, 2006 at 2:52 pm
Ha. You I can classify in with those that believe that there is a “one true love” for everyone. No way, Jose. I aint buyin’ it. Bunch o’ lies is all…
Audrey said:
on June 10, 2006 at 3:11 pm
You take all the fun out of it don’t you. Ok, maybe not every one has a true love, but I would like to believe there is someone out there for me…
Lu said:
on June 13, 2006 at 4:44 pm
I am quite offended that you did not post my last comment! Might I ask why?
Lu said:
on June 13, 2006 at 4:45 pm
You had a subscription to MAD on LaSalle Street!
Dee said:
on June 13, 2006 at 5:00 pm
Because, Lu, I found it to be rude. And this is MY space to blather on about whatever I choose, right?
Dee said:
on June 13, 2006 at 5:05 pm
Sshhhh…Lu. Don’t tell people that! Some things are private you know.
Annette said:
on June 14, 2006 at 12:05 am
I think the better question would be: what *wouldn’t* Alfred E. Neuman poke fun at today? Politicians, absurd corporate policies, most human behavior in general (like the woman who asked me what I’d done to offend her god in order to be stricken with cancer), and so on. MAD profits by the folly of others, and more power to them for it.
Annette said:

I’ve forgotten Mother’s Day before – of course, my mom and I are so close, along with the rest of the family, that the day is really no different than any other. or, to put it another way, I suppose, every day is Mother’s Day.
Father’s Day? An entirely different story, and never a hugely important day to me, given the father figures that have been in my life. Your mileage varies, and I’d count that as a good thing. You’re very eloquent, and who can resist the effusive praise you give to those important to you?
Annette said:
on June 20, 2006 at 1:33 am
I used to think about packing it in and hitting the road, years ago after my grandmother died. I was in a crap job in a crap town in a crap relationship at the time, tired of working 60 hour weeks for little pay at the ass end of the world, tired of everyone looking to me for all the answers, and tired of having to shoulder the world for other people.
The feeling comes back to me from time to time, washing over me like despair that will never end. But it does end, the world rights itself, and I am reminded of all the things that make what I do and how I live and who I love worthwhile.
Dee said:
on June 20, 2006 at 5:07 am
Ah, but today is brand new and that feeling has passed. Good thing, too. I’d hate to miss that big truck at work today! Haha.
Annette said:
on June 20, 2006 at 5:21 pm
Knew it would fade. But I bet you were looking forward to unloading that truck just as much as you look forward to pot roast!
Dee said:
on June 21, 2006 at 6:31 am
Between pot roast and worms, I’d pick…worms.
Dee said:
on June 21, 2006 at 11:35 am
The effusive praise is a long time coming. I wasn’t always so generous. Just ask those who knew me pre-1996. Or not. They’d be likely to have forgotten me. As is should be.
Lu said:
on June 27, 2006 at 1:24 pm
You had best start looking for some kick ass rich friends to supply the kick ass presents because the friends you have are all poor.
Deedle said:
on June 29, 2006 at 1:04 pm
Haha, Lu. My friends are rich beyond riches. They have character and spunk. You all are gazillionaires to me. But, I’d really like you to get me that Tag watch. Heeeeeee…

Is that a new math? How were we both 11 in 1976? Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington DC… We saw a lot that summer!!!
Dee said:
on July 6, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Ok, sissy. I was 10, you were 11. Good thing they weren’t giving out the math tests on job applications 13 years ago, eh?

Getting left out, or behind is always hard! Glad the bleeding as stopped, for now…
Lu said:
on July 13, 2006 at 11:25 am
I have had to give up the fantasy of the whole family singing around the piano. I have a good relationship with my brother and some contact today with my sister. Who can ask for more?
Lu said:
on July 13, 2006 at 11:26 am
Keep an eye out. The “Nazi mentality” is still alive and well!
Lu said:
on July 19, 2006 at 4:58 pm
It is good to be first at something today!
I know you will be happy to know that my sister is first on my ” call when Hell freezes over when I need help” list. You are second!
It seems you learned at an early age that if you just say “no” and come up with a lame excuse, or not, when asked for help, soon people stop asking. Lucky for you, Vernon and I never learned that lesson.
We do, however appreciate your loving care of Bonnie and Charles in the past so we could go on trips! It is nice to leave such important family members with someone we know loves them.
I am going to Alanon to get over this compunction I have to drop everything and run every time you have a crisis or problem. So far, that isn’t working either. I believe they call it enabling.
Audrey said:
on July 19, 2006 at 8:28 pm
Any one who can see enough in them selves to write this can’t be as bad as the Dee of old any more… She didn’t care then, but you do today. It is a journey, isn’t it? And stand by you I will, always and unconditionaly…
Dee said:
on July 20, 2006 at 6:04 am
I appreciate that, Oddery.
Annette said:
on July 21, 2006 at 9:26 pm
We are ever loyal to those we hold dear. That’s one of the benefits of being near the craziness that is this family. Of course, then you have to actually put up with us, but that’s an even enough trade.
Annette said:

You did it Honey, you are now 40! And it came quietly and with grace… Welcome to adulthood!

Audrey said:
on September 20, 2006 at 9:10 pm
I sure hope that I didn’t pour any more salt in those opens wounds… I could never do that on purpose you know. But at some point, you need to trust a little and let out more before it starts to eat at you even more. Enough said? There are those who love you for who you are no matter what!
Audrey said:
on September 26, 2006 at 8:36 pm
Never looked at eating in that way before! As far as from wence you came… There must be a way!

Funny, I don’t think anything from my younger days sticks out in my mind like this! I will have to think about this one…

I just wanted to tell you… You are just as beautiful today as you were two years ago when I met you! But I know hearing it is sometimes not enough, take it from one who knows. I am not saying it to make you feel better either, that came right from the heart!
Lu said:
on January 22, 2007 at 10:50 pm
You look beautiful in all your new duds…and that was just yesterday! With no weight loss! I am all for the “get up, get out, get on with it” plan but do it because you will feel better. Not just to look better. You look fine now. “Hello. We are the Fo-Bo_Weisses and this is our lovely daughter Dee”!

It is always nice to come home again. We are all glad when you are home!
Audrey said:

I think there is always a reason as to why we have the people in our lives that we do… We all learn from and mirror each other. I can only hope to have the courage to do for someone else what you did today… Only one word comes to mind…Brave!
Lu said:
on April 20, 2007 at 9:49 pm
The only way we can ever change this world is to lead by example. Walk the walk…do what we would have others do for us. The people that mentored me in my life are significant. In a lifetime of bad memories, they are part of the few good ones. A teacher who believed I was a good writer.A friend of my mother’s who affirmed me and bought me pearls for my high school graduation. A college professor who thought I could have a meaningful career as a journalist if I just wouldn’t throw my career away by getting married. A female boss who made me a supervisor and then tried to teach me how to be one. There have been others. How wonderful, Deedle, that some day when this young woman looks back on her life, you will be remembered as a “good memory”. Someone that was there.Stood up and was counted next to her. Hope of being remembered for something good when you leave. You will be! No doubt. I know the courage it took for you to go to court yesterday. Good for you!

Lu said:

My heart is sad too, for the: “what might have been”, for the opportunity to be loved and supported, squandered. Why do young people think they know more than older people? Why is pride stronger than good sense? Why is it so hard to do what is right? Don’t stop trying to mentor the young women that cross your path, Deedle. You will plant many seeds and often never get to see the tree grow. But you can’t quit planting the seeds…even though it hurts sometimes.
LU said:

I believe this qualifies as a lecture. Congratulations. After only eight years of training you have passed the final exam at the; Lulu Panini Lecture School, with flying colors. In fact, this qualifies as a rant…the most advanced form of lecture, only achieved when we feel passionately on a subject and can get someone to sit still long enough to really work up a good head of steam. Perhaps I need a blog! I love you, Deedle. Does this mean that you are not trying to pass as a : “Half-Breed” anymore?

You say tomAto and I say tomato. You say tadpole and I say pollywog. I used to catch tadwogs in California growing up and then I put them in a bucket full of water. They would turn into tiny frogs and jump out of the bucket. They would usually end up you know what. They would make this transformation in the middle of the night and have jumped out before we knew it. Knowing what I know about your friend, I am sure your story will have a happy ending. The pollywogs will all turn into frogs and maybe one frog will turn into a prince (or princess). Please send the picture of the prince. I love happy endings and so does Vernon.
Love, Lu

No. It means that I don’t want to feel judged by the very folks with whom I used to stand shoulder to shoulder with. It means that this country isn’t necessarily made up of gun-toting, racist, back-woods hillybilly’s. It gets broadly interpreted (thanks, Eh-net) by the individuals who lay claim to some mystic knowledge that they haven’t even a tarot card for.
I’m still ********. But I’m of the race that roamed freely across the borders before borders.
I bet I’m a Cherokee. Or perhaps a Sioux. I get to pick, you know. Just ask Charlene. I’m her half-breed.

Pardon moi, Ms. Lu, but we bullfrogs are quite annoyed by the supposition that princes/esses are superior to frogs. We’re simply tired of all you silly paparazzi flashing your bulbs and assuming that we aspire to be something other than who we are. We’re good with it. So jump off, eh?

Why Lu, my dear. Of course I know all these brands. I’m on the cutting edge of chic. I not only know these words, but I set the trend. Geez. Where have YOU been? Crack? No. That stuff’s for Kmart shoppers. I prefer mine laden with gold dust. Looks better in the crystal pipe, too. I gotta go, the Swedish masseuse’s are here…

Audrey : We all wish you the very best. Remember these things: friends are friends no matter where they are, it is up to us to keep connected, it is never too late to change our mind and false pride can hurt and keep on hurting as we refuse to change. When true friends tell us the things we do not want to hear, it is because they care. And remember the lecturer!!! I have been training Dee to take over for me as lecturer when I retire and it sounds like she is doing a good job.

Gracie’s owner wanted me to tell the whole story of the takedown. Well, later that night, Gracie took off yet again, after a dog this time. I didn’t expect in the slightest to go along for the ride. And I do mean ride. I sucked dirt. I think I still have plant matter in my hair…Thanks for bringin’ that up, Yadge. Hopefully there won’t be any incidents of that nature in Ohio this week. I guess my skirt could fall off. That would be right up there with one of the most humbling experiences. Glad you got a good chuckle, missy.

So here are some of the photos from my vacation to Hornby Island, B.C. late August.
1) Claire, Paddy and Yadge at a wedding that I was honored to attend.
2) The lovely, sniffly moi. Probably bawling due to a long list of chores provided by the vacation squasher.
3) Arthur obscured by Jodi obscured by Yadge. Obscurity has such nices curves, eh?
4) Some girl I know ignoring the signs. As usual.
5) Dookie and Gracie. Dook’s the one with his tongue out, Gracie’s the one who thinks she’s ALL THAT! I’m the one whose reflection you see. I’m the one who really IS all that.

Reprinted from the Florida Times Union. 12/10/07.
“Tragedy Strikes Snack Bar”.
Tragedy struck yesterday during the 1st quarter of the Jaguars/Panthers game at the “Between the Buns” snack bar located in the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.
A melee erupted between two allegedly intoxicated fans while standing in line at the vendor’s counter. A witness identified by the JSO as A. Bourbon, told police that the fight started when the two fans started arguing of the lentgth of their respective weiners.
Caught in the middle of this struggle was innocent bystander Ms.Doe Fostin. During the pushing, shoving and measuring Ms.Fostin was severely elbowed causing her to drop a freshly purchased $9.00 Sausage Dog, with peppers. A. Bourbon disputes this however, stating,”Oh No Babe, it wasn’t a Sausage Dog it was a tamale, or maybe a chimichanga, but definitely not a sausage dog”. To this Ms.Fostin was heard to say,”Whatever”.
Fostin was treated by EMT’s on the scene for severe condiment loss and later released.
No decision was reached on the length of the respective weiners and the two men were arrested and booked into the Duval County Jail, charged with interfering with Ms. Fostin’s meal, possibly a capital offense.

Celebrate and enjoy it – you can read road signs, see tree leaves, and dust bunnies under the sofa. I love you Deedle.

You are waaaaay too isolated. Get out of that apartment, girl! Take a walk, meet a friend for lunch or dinner. Make a new friend. Get busy living life. You are too young to give up on it.

I hear that Stephen Harper frowns upon the whacky-goofy antics that make up our family! Vern shouting ‘fruit-bat’ and strolling around the neighborhood with his socks up to his knees and his pants up to his chin, is not highly regarded behavior for those who live outside our nucleus. But I wouldn’t trade our family for anything. Except perhaps, bigger lunches and fewer barf-o-roni nights. Hee…

Is this dee dee, my long lost friend, who used to live on Sanford Street of lust and sorrow? I scanned the narcistic subtitles and said to myself, I could recognize that creative wit any where. I used to be quite creative with words myself until I sold myself to the devil of conformity. If it is you, I would love to talk to you. If it isn’t, thanks for reminding me of a friend who made me see the world as an unlimited wealth of possibilities.

Great analogy. I visualize a shoe of fine leather, although dusty and parched from years of drying out in a well secluded corner, careful application of sweet scented oils just might bring that old shoe back to life. I think it was a dance shoe that swirled around under the stars one ligtning blazed night and professed her love to one of God’s amazing creatures. Vanilla and sandlewood tangled throughout the night, heating the air with the most appealing aroma. Promise you will never give up your wit for I have forsaken the art of writing romance. I haven’t written anything since I wrote an euology for my Dad’s funeral. I stumbled on your writings quite by accident and was quite inspired. I am so proud of your success.

Not as electrifying as the night I saw jolts of pure light zig zag across the ebony meridians of my lover’s eyes. I should have known there was a “cool” sheet of ice beneath those storm blazen meridians causing that mirror like reflection. I wrote a poem about it once. I have to laugh at my self now. I since then learned to screw in a new light bulb when I need to navigate through the dark, never play in electric storms because you may get zapped, and always listen for the sound of thunder warning you there is electricity near by…RUN!
Ole Bec said:
on November 29, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I think Lukey would indeed laugh at your latest post. The thought of “Ole Bec” handling any tool, if only to manipulate the spelling, would surely bring a chuckle. “Ole Bec” is Lukey’s adopted term of endearment and I’ve grown quite fond of that name. Well, I am totally confused by which topic you need to write more about: deeiscoolism or that mysterious woman child on the ball field? I definetely think the “damsel in distress” would make for a better story. She sounds like she had all the elements of good literature: a problem to be solved, a rising action, a climax, a falling action, and the resolution. Damn…the story even has the set up for a sequel! I think I remember seeing you two play in the rain (more like a down pour) one day smack dab in center field. All the other fools on the team were smart enough to take cover in the dug out…but not that silly girl! Yes, I anxiously await to hear the master story teller unravel the “deetails”. I can’t wait to figure out the genre: mystery, adventure, or better yet, an epic! Please don’t make it a tragedy. How I hate sad endigs. I like endings where every one learns their lessons before it is too “latte”. After all, patience was never one of my virtues, and I surely don’t want to wait to my next life time to hear how the story ends. After more than a decade of “never looking back”, the story definely has the potential for a surprise ending, even if the story had many “twists and turns”. There must of been some reason you chose not to remember until years later. Perhaps it was a measure of perservation so the story could end with both of you maintaining your dignity and respect. Well, my dear Dee Dee, you have quite a task before you. How I do love to hear a good story. Just like Robert Redford in “Out of Africa” I anxiously await to hear from the master story teller. I think I’ll snuggle down by my fire pit with a hot cup of “lathe” and listen to the tails…oops, I mean tales of latte!” Try reading “Do You. Remember…”before you begin. That should stir some ancient memories of long ago but really not so far away in the deeper recesses of your frontal lobe. And do keep in mind, everything written is out of love and never intended to hurt. I am still beckoning the angels up above to give me angel feet so I leave no foot prints if I should happen to walk on your back again. I am not sure they listened to me as of yet, fate has it I still have a few lessons in life I need to learn.
Ole Bec said:

I find your lack of response quite baffling but rest assured I respect your choices. A wise old person told me one time that everyone comes into this world with their own unique perceptions, but it is the Master’s divine plan to someday realize that reality ultimately lies somewhere in the middle. Fate is at the wheel of this journey and the final destination has already been written in the “Master’s Book”. I always find it useful from time to time to remember the past, it provides clarity and knowlege to guide me through the future. Yet, I have long ago realized I cannot manipulate the reactions (or lack of reactions) of others. I acknowledge that silence may be a good thing for I have probably already prodded too much, and accept my fate. I only hope that from time to time you will be able to sit down to a hot cup of “lathe” and smile knowing we may have finally stumbled across that middle ground. Love and Peace to my dear friend Dee Dee.
