A link to links, my boring life, and Scientology KILLS

I will get all caught up soon.  Really I will.  And then you will have time to catch up with me.  I hope.  Anyways there's some more linkage over here  ----->>>Things to do Journal  I still have some sitting in my email.  Waiting......waiting for me to look at and then to post somewhere.  Don't forget that 99% of links posted here in One Summers Day will be posted over at Things to do Journal.  So bookmark that journal to keep going back to.  You will be sorry if you don't.  LOL

Today really feels like fall.  The wind is blowing, a chill is in the air.....Oh and don't forget to CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS today.  Yup time changes TONIGHT.  Set your clocks BACK 1 HOUR before you go to bed.  Don't forget.  You'll be an hour early for church if you don't.  LOL

My neighbors........even though they are rarely home I hope they will decide to move.  The other morning their water hose was stretched out in their driveway and part of the way into the street.  Yesterday morning found it laying in my front yard (where it still is by the way)  Heard them come home this AM at 3:15 A freaking M!  He then sits in his driveway to "gun" the engine for a little while.  Why?  He wants to make sure everyone knows he is home?  Do I look like I care? 

I am more than ever convinced that mom is having some slight dementia.  It is nothing really bad and unless you know her or spend a lot of time around her you probably wouldn't pick up on it.  It bothers me just the same as if it were something major though.  I saw what it did to her sister and am not thrilled with how it could turn out.

Good thing though.  This upcoming week (I think it's this week, gosh I sure hope it is) mom gets to pick up her hearing aids.  I HOPE and PRAY that she will find themcomfortable enough to wear and that they WORK.  She is getting the ones that go behind your ear.  I think that will be easier for her to get used to and the specialist say that they really are better than those that go into the ear.

I just can't get thrilled on being online these past few days.  I have tried to get caught up with some journals and visit some new ones.  But the thrill just isn't here.  I loved collecting graphics to share with my group but that seems more of a chore than fun right now.  I have tried to find some new games online to get hooked on but I just get iritated and hit that red x.

I try not to hear much of the news.  It's just way to depressing.  And this news story is just horrible.  The story will be on CBS tonight at 10 PM on 48 Hours Mystery (or something like that.  check your listings).  A son (adult, but still young, like late teens early 20's) stabs his mom to death.  That is bad enough but the really horrible part is that it never had to have happened.  BUT they are Scientologist and don't believe in psychiatry.  Everyone knew the son was ill mentally.  But they don't believe in going to a shrink or (evil of evils!) taking  psychiatric drugs (oh the horror!).  Because he went untreated he got so mentally ill he ended up killing his mom.  He stabs her over 70 times!  You can read about it here:  Scientology - A Question of Faith, Did A Mother's Faith Contribute To Her Murder? - CBS News  Hope Tom Cruise is sleeping well tonight.

Sorry no graphics this entry.  Didn't even think of it until just now.  Oh well.......

It's hard for me to write entries right now.  I have no idea why.  Strange.  Thanks for the reminder about the time change.

You may be finding it hard to post entries, but you still do a fine job of it.  Hope your Mom is able to adapt to the hearing aids .  They do make a great difference.  My Dad has them and it's amazing how well they work.  Take good care !  'On Ya' - ma

I heard about that scientiologist kid. Shame. But the mother should have gotten him help and maybe, she would have been alive now. I don't understand how this religion brainwashes the way it does. I hate saying anything against another religion but that one is really strange.

As for being on the comp and feeling like hitting the X, why do you think I rarely write an entry. I get sick of the computer a lot.

I hope your mom does like her hearing aid.

Hope tomorrow is a better day,

Angela

I read that story and it filled me the rage (like a lot of stories seem to do these days).   I always said I'd never attend a movie starring any scientology actor -- but I will probably break down and go see "Hairspray"  with John (*cough*homo*cough*) Travolta in it.  And I will hate myself for it.  SIGH
