Amputee life before and after...

~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
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,
I'm honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
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

    Love N'Hugs,
    Always, Lois ****
