Well... you know what I hate?! I hate when I go to a specific place for a specific thing and that specific thing is the one thing they screw up! Yesterday I went to get dinner as I hate cooking, and I ordered tea, sweet tea, and I went to this place for the sweet tea!!! You know what I got instead? I got nasty disgusting Diet Coke!!! Yuck, makes me want to hurl just thinking about it... I came home took a drink and had to throw the nasty crap away. How does anyone like that sh**? Or better yet, how does anyone ORDER it?! Yuck!
On another note, I think everyone should go to youtube.com and watch the "Love Me Dead" video by Ludo. To me it is hilarious, especially at the end with the streamers. The song is entertaining on its own, but the video and the singers facial expressions are pretty funny. It is also a well done video clip. Its kindof like a short play. ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XH3oMNKApI <---- see clip here. (Hopefully that worked.)

Hubby's Latest Deployment
Currently Brian (hubby) is stationed in Iraq. He left early in July right before Independence Day, anyhow... This is my husbands 3rd deployment.
The first time he was deployed to Iraq and was stationed in the city of Kirkuk. We'd only been married about 9-10months before this happened. While in Kirkuk he lived in a safe house and had TV, Internet hook up, use of a phone, did his job and somewhat enjoyed himself, even under the circumstances. The worst thing to come out of that deployment was some stupid person one rank higher punishing him by taking away his phone and Internet privileges for 2 weeks. Can you imagine not hearing from someone you love for 2 weeks whilst they're in a "war" zone? It was not fun. Eventually I got around to calling the company and having some ass Captain lie to me, and then talking to the 1SGs wife and having her talk to the Beard (1SG) and having him tell Brian to call me.
The 2nd deployment was to Baghdad, Iraq. He'd been home from the previous deployment for about 3 years before this one came along. So I packed up again and left Hawaii for Texas to live with my in-laws. Not the point of this... he lived in the "green zone", did his job (which he enjoyed), had a TV in his room, a fridge, food court to go for dinner, Internet in the room, AC, and a room-mate he actually got a long with. He had all these amenities and was happy, again under the circumstances. He also had access to phones to call, but now the Internet through skype and yahoo you can call people for free that way.
Now we come to this deployment... deployment Number 3. Well, what can I say about this. I don't remember anything overly bad from the previous 2 besides, the not hearing from him on the first deployment and on the 2nd he was sent in to Sadi City (sp?) which was stressful and not good.
Anyhow... this deployment he is... I don't even know the city he is in... I'll find that out later. First I should probably go back to the time he was in Kuwait. Whilst in Kuwait some stupid SOB higher up had the "men" probably 20 of them, go into the desert in the middle of the day, with the sun high in the sky and around 120*F, in full gear, which includes about 60-100lbs of weight. They went there to do training!!! Training in full gear in the middle of the desert in 120* heat!!!! Someone could have died from heat stroke, according to my hubby a lot of the people were sick... but my question on this is what sort of sick F*** would send his soldiers into the desert in the middle of the day with all that crap on???!?? A f'ing sadist, is who!!! What I wouldn't give to be able to give him an ear full!
Moving on lets get back to the part where hes in Iraq. Brian has been in Iraq for about a month. He has a room that he shares with someone that works nights while he works days, which works out good for the both of them. But... they DON'T have Internet, TV, fridge or any of the other amenities they use to have. BUT... they do have a community room, for Internet, TV, phone and food. They have a crappy food court that is disgusting according to him... He works writing contracts which he really likes, surprisingly. Now I get to the ass higher ups... they DO get Internet in there private rooms, phones in there office, and TV! Now its called an "Army of One", where is the ONE in this?? To me that says equality, but in truth and actuality, the higher ups get whatever the hell they want, while the Privates through to Sgt's, get pretty much NOTHING! (at this current location) It seems to me that the higher ups are abusing there positions in getting everything they want and/or need because they really don't have to answer to anyone. Friggin' ridiculous the unfairness of it all.
On top of all that the TV they have in the community room, some of the guys were watching it one night, and the Captain came out and took the TV away because it was too loud... BUY SOME EAR PLUGS!!!! They also have a dog that the Capt. is threatening to take away. Does this man not realise that these things are a form of stress relief and entertain, and that they also raise moral? They don't have a store like at the other bases, so that can't buy smokes, they don't have privacy anywhere, and there only form of enjoyment is in a common room. So what happens when you take away a form of entertainment in the place they're at?!... It lowers moral! It doesn't take a genius to figure that out! But NO he has a form of stress relief and entertainment in his PRIVATE room, that he doesn't share! So he clearly doesn't understand what its like for the other guys who only have a common room! I want to yell at whoever came up with these ridiculous stipulations and the unfair advantages of the higher ups. It makes me sick! It should be equal... but it never will be which is ludicrous.
I think I'm done venting on this subject... for now at least.

Petrol
I can not get over how friggin' expensive petrol aka gas is. I spent $75 filling up my truck (Ute) today! Granted I do drive a monster of a vehicle. Also, it being a V8 probably doesn't help, as just turning it on wastes gas. I don't use AC, I hate it but it uses up gas too, or at least that's what they say. And parking it is a bitch also... can't just drive into a parking space anymore I have to back up. I'm just grateful that the vehicle has sensors that beep and then flat line when it's time to stop. Considering that Hawaii has got to have some of the worst parking in America probably doesn't help. Its tiny! I need to take up two spaces in some lots, which is friggin' annoying and inconsiderate. Agh... I think my rant on that is out of my system; at least for now.

One of Those Days
Well... Today I was playing canasta online at yahoo today and it was partner canasta, and the stupid B**CH sitting next to me started accusing me of cheating! First of all, I don't see the point in cheating at cards, you either win or you lose. Secondly, I wasn't at all happy with my partners playing technique, but I didn't say anything to him I just let him play the crappy way he was playing; and thirdly I always think that people who hate losing are the ones who accuse of cheating.
Now at Yahoo Games you have the option when someone is idle for a while, to A.Forfeit and Cancel, B. Force Forfeit and End Game or C. WAIT! Preferably everyone picks wait because that way the game doesn't end. But NOOOOO, the stupid B**CH red team chose Force Forfeit and on top of that my team was WINNING. So not only did I lose by default, I was also called a cheater in the game of Canasta. Obviously it pissed me off, but I'm sure I'll get over it, that and I told everyone in the lobby that she was a sore loser and would accuse everyone of cheating if they played with her! Not so much revenge, but it felt good afterwards.
On another topic Bindi got her cone taken off today and everything turned out well from the surgery. YAY!
Also, there is this crazy parrot or cockatoo across the street that likes to screech, SO ANNOYING. Anyhow, there is also a dog across the street and every time the bird starts wailing the dog decides to howl. See who can be louder I suppose. They don't stop until someone screams at the dog or the bird to SHUT UP! It is kindof funny in a weird way, but annoying all the same.
Oh and to top it all off I enrolled in this thing like netflix but for books and its been almost 2 weeks and I still haven't received my books in the mail. Getting so impatient!

11am
oh my goodness... it is only 11am; it feels like 4pm. I seriously thought it was later then it actually is. Like I could pass out right now, I have no idea why I am so tired. Kindof annoying! I hate it when I feel so tired that my eyes hurt every time I close them, they kindof sting from having to be open! I'm sure that makes no sense, but what do I care. I have an excuse: I'm tired! Pretty lame excuse but, it works for me. UGH!

Sam
You know what I love about my dog Sam? I love that once hes done eating that he doesn't run around like a crazy dog, doesn't lay down and go to sleep or chase his own tail... what Sam does once hes done eating is calmly and slowly approaches you and gets right up to your face and burps. Yes, he burps, literally right in your face. It is the most disgusting thing imaginable having dog breath burped into your face. Could you imagine how bad it would be if you had your mouth open and he burped... ew nasty, I'm grossing myself out over here.
On another note when Sam does chase his tail he looks like a bucking bronco trying to get the rider off his back... it is highly amusing and amazingly entertaining. I enjoy watching him do that; I get a work out from constantly laughing at him... I swear laughter is better then 30min at the gym any day of the week. He is one interesting fella.
Isn't he adorable?!

Bindi's Surgery
Bindi had her surgery yesterday and it went well, the problem came later. The spot with the incision started to itch and with the cone around her head (that was finally put on tight enough for her not to get out of), she couldn't reach it to itch or lick (gross), so she developed a new technique. She learned how to scoot... yes scoot. Tearing at her stitches and forcing her back into the vets office for them to take care of her, in case of more scooting. Hopefully the wound will heal correctly and she won't need to have anything else done. I hope she won't be needing any more surgery; cosmetic or otherwise.
