City Of Anderson Planning Commission Votes My Medication Out Of Town!

I know I am about to loose some "Friends" overall with this next statement, I am sorry if you are Offended, Outraged or Otherwise Affected by this "Coming Out"...I am a Medical Marijuana Patient! YES, I am OUT of that Closet! I have a Debilitating, YES, Debilitating Condition, Arachnoiditis w/ Myoclonic Dystonia, a little left over from a spinal chord injury! I use MARIJUANA instead of FAR MORE HORRENDOUSLY POWERFUL DRUGS!!!

I am MAD as Hell and yes, I KNOW I AM YELLING!! LET me tell you why... The Anderson City Planners have voted to shut down the ONLY COLLECTIVE in town!! This is after they (earlier this year) OUTLAWED GROWING!!! Well, ALL out door Growing of even a single Plant and then I guess, if you have about $10,000 to "COMPLY" with their RIDICULOUS Fees (City), Permits (Building, Electrical & Plumbing!) , Inspections (Building, Electrical, Plumbing and City inspector too)  Regulations you can grow 2-3 plants in a specially designed "Growing Shed" only? I can't afford THAT!!!

Now I have NO place to get my Prescription filled unless I get a ride into Redding!! Why? Who is being hurt? Who did they ASK? They said they asked 100 people? What? When? Nobody EVER asked ME!!!! Hordes of People showed up to protest but they would not DEIGN to hear one bit!! I swear to Heaven I wish Someone could make them LISTEN & HEAR!!!

City of Anderson and The Way "Hunt" Hit Huge!

What a beautiful turnout for the united efforts of the Anderson & Way Team effort to bring a great Easter Egg Hunt and FREE BBQ too to Anderson!!  Wow, it was really great!  From what I could see, getting there Late was not a good idea, I rolled up on Volante Park just in time to see the last of the HUGE CROWDS leaving the fields!  Parking was scant, but I saw baskets flowing with Eggs and Smiles as broad as could be on children of all ages!  The adults looked like they were pretty Happy Too as they walked, laughed and talked about the "Hunt" and the Upcoming BBQ!  It smelled wonderful, I saw the Guys over there hard at work and even stopped to say howdy! Hip-Hip-Hooray! ") 

Just a big Thank-You and Awesome Job!

Ode To The "Stinky" Dish Rag!

I have to say it...okay, so, I know she does not use a computer, but I have to say it anyway... maybe it will help someone else? :) I went over to a friends house, she has children, a decent home and a couple of pets. She also is a dish rag user... I am also a dish rag user... however, somewhere along the line, she did not get the "instruction sheet" that should come with it!

#1 If you use it on the floor for anything, even just a "few dribbles" put it in the LAUNDRY!

#2 If it soooo stained that you cannot tell it is clean anymore even after Laundry...throw it out!

#3 If it smells funny or just plain reeks... throw it in the laundry...after a good thorough DRYING!

#4 If it feels "slimy" when you pick it up...LAUNDRY!!

#5 If your Kids use it for something in the "other room" and then bring it back to put it in the sink...LAUNDRY!!!

#6 Fresh Rag EVERY DAY!!!

#7  Never let Husband leave room with a "good" one!

I'm just SAYING.....

I Did Not Fall Off The Planet! "Still Here" 2011 Update To My Anderson ORB!!

Wow, my little world has been mighty full of life lately!  So much so, that I barely have had time to stick my head out the door and breathe, much less get a feel for what has been happening around my little town here!  Anderson is Thankfully a quiet place and no uproar is good when MY Planet is taking up so much "air"!

I will say that most of my time was consumed by the Holiday's and the care of my 4 Grandchildren as well as all the other life "Trimmings" that go on over that whole 6 week period from Thanksgiving to New Years!  I am not complaining by any means, just explaining!

Add to the top of that my "Crème De La Crème" as I was picked to be one of the Artists to Show for the City of Redding's "Art In The City" program!  So, we have been crazy jamming trying to get everything ready for the show!  We just finished hanging 12 paintings, which encompasses the "Third Floor West" of the New Redding City Hall!  Woo-Hoo!  I am so rocking it right now! More story here...

I will get out this week to see what I have been missing around Anderson, meanwhile, I know that one thing coming up that No-Body should miss is the next Lulafaye's "Rust & Roses" Home Decor show!  LulaFaye's here in Anderson is such a great little "secret" place to go and find those wonderful one-of-a-kind originals that put the finishing touches on your home!  Everyone that participates in the R&R are bringing beautiful Hand Worked goods that you are not going to find in the stores!  Their last R&R Show was a real blow out, so if you missed it make sure you mark your calendars for this one!

Meanwhile, I will post my Invitation to "One And All" to come out and enjoy the Redding Annual Cultural Cruise and stop by to see me! :)
