~U Haul Sucks~
Interesting day today. I  had put a truck on reserve with 
 U HAUL... wrong move.. My  sis warned me not to call them,
 but I looked on line and  there is supposedly a pick up spot
 here in town. Well I was  thinking this morning as I went 
 over my list of 'to do's'   and I realized I had not gotten 
 a call from U HAUL for  confirmation.. So, luckily I called.
 The girl, said they were  looking for a close place where I
 could get a truck and the  closest would be Sturgis, which
 is I bet 35 miles away at  least. So think of the mileage !
 So she said I would have to  WAIT till someone found a
 better place.. Well I made  this reservation last week, and
 they still have done  nothing? AND expect me to wait even
 longer when I DONT have  that luxury.. Time is a major 
 factor... I hung up the  phone telling her I would wait.. well
 now, you KNOW I just sat  and decided to wait for them 
 when they've had  days  already? ya right ....
 Well, I hung up.. looked on  line, found a place right HERE in
 town.. In fact right next  to my Icee place, Dairy Queen, I
 will miss that place...  Maybe I can get my own icee maker..
 Well anyway, I dialed  BUDGET.. at a place called GRAND
RENTAL.. Cody answered the phone.. took all the info and
 RENTAL.. Cody answered the phone.. took all the info and
THEY WILL have a 24 foot  truck there waiting for me,
 well for Donnie when he  goes. They open at 8 am and Cody
 said he will be there...  SO.. I have to say, I kinda snickered
 when I phoned U HAUL and  told them to can my hold on a
 truck and my order that I  went to BUDGET and got a better
 rate, better service and a  pick up spot 2 blocks away from
 my house.. The Lord has  smiled on me today...
 Penny came and we made a  deal that she will come Saturday
 and spend from about 9 to 3  helping me move. I told her I
 didn't expect her to do it  for nothing, and I will pay her. She
 put off another job for me  and all the EXTRA help she is
 giving me, well I want to  let her know I appreciate it.. Just 
 like I do Donnie and Jorge,  I cant pay them but I plan to
 send Penny to the store to  get them and Dawn & Kelli too,
 steaks that they can grill  back at Donnies... Dawn I am not
 sure if she will be there  as she has this new job so she may
 have to work Saturday..  Kelli does but only for a few hours
 that morning.. Its a super  busy week end, Kelli works part
 time at a hotel  and this  week end is a Notre Dame home 
 game so they are booked to  the teeth with a waiting list
 for any possible vacancy,   I bet every motel, hotel, boarding
 house is booked solid..  Lots of people would rent out a spare
 room on home games in Green  Bay.
 Penny got a lot done, she  really worked hard.. We are both 
 worried that we are coming  down with colds or we are allergic
 to each other the way we  both sneezed  today.. I sure hope
 if we are that it waits  till next week when I will be able to 
 collapse then.. I will be  moved.  I have to admit I am getting
 so nervous I wish this was  done and I was there..  I need
 this move done.. With Penny  coming there is my ride up to
 my new house.. We discussed  how we are going to fix it up
 and put everything. I saw  an ad at Meijers, they are having a
 huge sale on Thanksgiving  day,  they will have a 32 inch TV
 for $372.00.. NOW, that IS  a deal... These things sell for
 over 1000... I am hoping  they will let it be put on lay away 
 and I can pay on it... or  put some down and pay or however
 they do it.. But I sure  would like to have this TV.. I worry
 about mine all the time its  so old...  Push come to shove I
 have to have a place to  sleep first.. that really is more of
 a priority than a TV .  I  know ALL my priorities and I cannot
 stray from them..  This  move is taking every spare dime I
 have and I cant splurge I  have to be logical..
 The update on that crap  site that has my photos. I went there
 today to check if this  administrator has removed them and, NO
 they are still there AND I  have not received a reply to the 2
 emails I sent him.. This is  most upsetting..   Last nite I went to 
 where all the photos that I  have put here on the blog are kept
 and I deleted every one of  me except for the one on my profile
 here.. I sure hated doing  that.. And those of you that are my 
 faithful TRUSTING friends I  am most sorry, but I cant stop
 people that are thieves  from taking from me.. so my only solution
 is to never put another  Full Body one here..   I felt so bad doing
 that.. but I had to.. I was  so upset I had even considered just
 deleting this whole blog  and not write anymore but I enjoy this
 Its like writing home to  family every day saying "hey, I'm here,
 guess what happened today,  I'm thinking of you ".... I hate that
 this person has done this  to me.. But this is how I feel.. and I
 know other amputees that  have had this done to them feel the
 same way.. our rights are  being violated.. Those that WANT to
 be exposed and show off  their most private parts.. well good
 do it.. but NOT where I am  ..  I don't wanna see that crap. To
 me THAT is pornography..  and I don't approve no matter who 
 it is.. These women that  pose like that.. have they thought of a
 time when perhaps their  grand child might come across a 
 photo of gramma showing  everything shes got? That sure would
 give a kid a good  impression wouldn't it?  Well Gramma did it
 I will too..  Morals..  right from wrong..  Maybe I'm too old
 fashioned.. but back when  there WAS a time you could trust 
 anyone and be treated with  respect.. now? No.. its gone.. and
 sadly I see NO improvement  ahead at ALL...   I fear for my
 grands.. I think of little  Alex, what will this precious baby 
 have for a world when he is  40? or will he even HAVE one...
 All those sci if movies are  gradually becoming real... like 
 Mel Gibson movies..  Scarey...
 Well I am really give out  today, but I have to say we got a lot
 done and all the minute  details have been set, solved and finished
 so I can sort of breathe a  little better .. 2 days to go.. Friday 
 ALL has to be done.. 8 am  everything in this place will be gone,
 THANK YOU LORD~~!!   I am  SO ready for this move and yup,
 ready to say my GORGEOUS  WEEBLE "nitey nite".
 Y'all have a good one now,  Y'hear? love ya and thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****
"God Bless You", is my prayer today,
 Always, Lois ****
"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

 Until I write  again...

Hi Flutterby,
I have sent an e-mail to the system administrator for the sites independent governing body and then another to ad lib or what ever the reprobated handle is. I am almost 99.0% sure that the proliferation of your copyrighted photos has been corrected. I can't really be asked to check though the site redefined bad taste. Though I am not in contact as much as we both like I am watching and caring.
Smooches and stuff
'im over there

Dear Dear lois
I understand you rage and anger but you have to realise that anything you put on the internet WILL be used by others for whatever end they want. Anything you put on your blog IS FOREVER. By the way how did you find out about the pictures on the internet. were you surfing

Hi Honey,
Thanks..This sure is upsetting to me. I am so glad to hear from you :*
Hi A,
No, I dont agree, just because its on the internet makes it up for grabs? No, where are people's rights? This blog is MINE, everything on it is MINE...and heaven help anyone that steals from me. They will regret it..
EVERYONE that knows me KNOWS how I am about my photos.. That is the agreement.. DO NOT STEAL.POST,SHARE,SELL MY PHOTOS. EVERYTHING on here is copywrited..The proof is over on the side>> down at the bottom..
I have many many loyal friends that KNOW how I feel about stealing my photos and I had at least 5 phone calls and a dozen emails telling me- I knew the second they were put on that porn site.. I dont surf looking for amputee photos...I surf..looking for music.. This is NOT over by any means.. Im considered a senior
citizen, this is abuse and I WILL sue that site... I gave him time 4 days, well hes run out.. \
If that site is a favorite of yours I suggest you get all you can of those stolen pics and vids while you can cuz its going down the tubes if I have MY WAY...and my lawyer says I WILL have my way...
Hi Mary,
Yes I am SO glad I called or I could have been in trouble.. My sis warned me about U HAUL..that they arent up front and have hidden charges that they hit you with at check out.. Im glad I have BUDGET.. Ive used them before and they did great..
So Nice to hear from you...
Love n'Hugs,
Always, Lois****

Hi, Honey,
Re. Alex, You know, OUR Grands must have said much the same about US as you are saying about Alex, and yet, here we are, struggling along fairly well, liking a lot of what we have and disliking a lot more. It was ever thus, so cheer up, my Dear.
I don't know what some of these haulage firms think they are run for - their own personal amusement?? The other firm you have now hired seem to know the meaning of "Service".
I am very sad that you have had to delete all your photos from your Blog. Sadly, given some of the low life out there, this was bound to happen, sooner or later. It is sad that there are selfish people out there who spoil life for everyone.
Fortunately, this does not make you any the less a Great Friend to those who you can trust. I value your friendship very deeply and thank you for it.
Take care, Honey,
Luv Ya,
Raife

Hiya Raife,
True, I know many times I heard my mother say "WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!"... that was 50 years ago..
The Budget place is a good one, Donnie goes there all the time to rent tools etc..I should have called them first.
I looked thru the blog this morning and to see the blank spaces where my photos were really upsets me and makes me feel really bad. These people that do this dont realize just how this sort of thing can affect someone .. so unfair..
Im thankful I do have special dear loyal friends like you..you are greatly appreciated Raife :*
Love N'Hugs,
Always, Lois ****

Hi Dear,
Well - sorry about your truck problems, but sounds like it has all worked out for the best. I've rented U-Hauls and Ryders - never had a problem to speak of. And they are really easy to drive.
Hope this AnonIB gets resolved-damn shame some people spoil it for the rest of us. You know how I feel about the handling of private pix.
Busy here as usual - spending a lot of time with the leaves...lol. Wish they'd just leave..
Big day coming - be thinkin of you always.
Bare Hugs,
Butty
