Ok, if you can't tout your own kinfolks blog who can you tout...
In our family we dispense with the second cousin, third cousin, etc...we're all just cousins...and Michael(Big Tex) is my cousin..His Mother was Diane, who you old timers who have read me for a while will remember. She lived with me for a while and she was more like a sister than a cousin..She was called Di....Ann...Diane but stretched out like it was 2 names..Di and Ann...We were Jackie Sue and Di Ann...He brother was Michael Ray and me, Michael Ray and Larry Wayne were the oldest of the cousins and we left some big foot prints for the younger cousins to follow in. But to Michael...he has a political blog and posts up to 18 fucking posts a day...he's a prolific little fucker..He's a democrat, hates Bush, and is voting for Obama. He lives and works in Dallas..He and I are the only 2 in the family that are democrats, and I'm not sure what his religious opinions are, but I'm pretty sure the other cousins are praying for him too..
He posts some very interesting stories on his blog, some funny, some serious and one he did for me cause I couldn't figure out how to post my favorite Willie Nelson song on my blog..so he posted the utube video there...So go check out my cuz Big Tex and see Jackiesue's favorite Willie song...He went and checked out all three of you that I recommended and comments on your post all the time..so least you can do is check him out...He's kinfolk you guys....http://theold18.typepad.com/the_old_eighteen/

THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN
Yup, you can call me Sheriff Jackiesue now...I made my first shop lifting bust Sunday..This woman came in...maybe mid 20's...Tall blond, pony tail, and with a purse the size of a pup tent. Inky said bird dog her, she's one of those that shop lifts but we can never catch..So I watched what she had in her cart and she had a orange something and a brown something, couldn't tell what it was...So I pretended to be fronting stuff and just kept an eye on her and then all of a sudden the orange and brown disappeared...I told Inky that Thom said I could ask to look in their purse if I thought they had taken something, so I walked around the corner to check her purse out to see her putting one of those small personal fans in her purse. She looked at me and kind of threw her head back as if to say 'oh fuck'... I said 'give me that and put it in the basket and said is that all?...I took her purse and there was little blouse and pair of shorts for a kid about 3 years old...I took it out and said, "don't ever, ever come back here again."...and let her go...I could have called the police and had her arrested, but all I could think of was that little girl. Inky was so impressed that we finally got a shop lifter I thought he was going to hug me..I called Thom and said 'this is Sheriff Denney, I just nabbed me a shop lifter..'...So Thom said he was going to get one of those kid's badges and a little wallet so I could just flip it open and show my badge..ha...
We had a ton of 'Hispanics' (again, exactly where is Hispain?)in the store yesterday..There was a wedding and they were all in getting gifts, gift bags, etc. They looked sooo pretty...All duded up..One lady said they were opening a new Mexican restaurant and it's name was Los Compedanos?....I think that's how it's spelled....I asked them what it meant and she said it was what they called people that worked out in the fields...I said laborers? (not wanting to say peon's) and she said yes, that's it...laborers...so it's like a workers restaurant...They were giving free food to welcome people to the restaurant and they asked me to come..so I went..I was the only gringo there, only 2 people spoke English, but I was made to feel very welcome, and the food was terrific..Just basics, home made corn tortilla's, beef, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, red and green salsa, rice, a rice pudding, that looked so good, but can't eat rice..I love green salsa...love it...red's ok...but I'm a green salsa gal...and it was the best green salsa I have ever eaten...and hotter than a mother fucker..usually green is pretty mild for me...and i like to spice it up..no need to spice that up...I was sweating like a fatted pig...I tried to pay them but they wouldn't take my money...They took an old restaurant (Cotton Mill Inn) and redid the inside, put in old red leather booths, white table cloths, Mexican music blaring, kids all over the place, strings of light hanging from the ceiling, and lots of good food..What more could you ask?...They will be open for business either Wed. or Thurs. and I will be there for sure...Don't need a translator for enchiladas, tacos, menudo, or togo!...ha..
Today I took Annie to the vets and got her shots and nails trimmed...I thought she would throw a hissy fit..but she was soo good, and I was so proud of her..Got 3 shots and only cost $35. We talked about Henrietta(the vet is Henrietta's son and his wife is the receptionist) and she and I ended up crying ....we both miss her..I told Tom(vet) about the books and that I was going to try and sell them and donate part of the money back to the library in Henrietta's name, because if I didn't she would come back and haunt me..He liked that very much ...
Annie may have been very good at the vets but she is still pissed at me..She has been sitting right by me with her back to me for about 15 minutes..I'll call her name and she won't even turn her head to look at me...Tom checked to see if he could tell if she was spayed, but he said he couldn't feel a scar but if she was spayed when she was young, it would be hard to tell, but if I have had her for 2 years and she hasn't been in heat or had kittens, he's pretty sure she's been fixed...
Today I'm going to go to Jenny and Jason's house. I have all those books for him and she wants me to see all the stuff they got at Lowe's for the yard..They are fixing me dinner..how sweet is that? this is a picture of Jamie and Jenny and Jason in Florida.
Mojo called last night...trying to find out what she wants for her 35 birthday...she's mulling it over..(picture of MoJo in Amsterdam)
Well, I am off for two days and other than taking Annie to the vet, doing one small load of laundry, and running the vacuum, I'm not doing a mother fucking thing...Going to go to video world and check out some videos..Finally watched last weeks Lost episode...holy shit...it gets better and better and better...life is good...
fuckme till I hit pause...

WE'RE NOT CRAPPY
Short post...At work we've had a lot of people not showing up ...Angela is having ex-problems..she's missed 3 days of work..Inky's wife Anessa got bit by the spider, he missed 2 days of work...I have been there every time I'm supposed to, but between them trying to keep me at the register and my hearing loss, I've been a major running gag...of 'what'..?...and them threatening to put a
shock collar on me, so I can't go more than 10 feet from the counter without getting a shock...so Inky's telling Tom that he's probably sorry he has such flakes for employees...Tom says, compared to some of the crappy employees he's had over the years we're pretty good..I laughed and told Inky..well, at least we're not crappy...We can take the truck and drive to crappy, but BY GODDESS...WE AIN'T CRAPPY...So that's our mantra now....we ain't crappy...

DEAR FAMILY DOLLAR CUSTOMER
I am not your maid, please put the blouse back where you found it, not on the lawn hoses in the garden section.
Please refrain from letting your children jerk things off the shelves and throw them on the floor. I don't care that little Timmy is the apple of your eye, he is a brat and needs a bip on the back of his head. Also it would be a nice thing if you actually kept an eye on him, as he goes through the candy section, ripping all the bags open and eating one of everything and all of the M&M's.
Don't wait till I have rung up everything before you decided to dig through your fucking purse for either your cash, check book or debit card...and please read the fucking sign right by the door when you came in that tells you we do not take Credit cards, only cash, check or debit.
If the amount is for $16.98 please, do not dig through your purse (which a Sherpa could use to hold all his camping gear when he scales Mount Everest) to try and find all of the 98cents, one fucking nickle at a time.
Once I have sub-totaled your merchandise, please do not go 'oh, I forgot to get toilet paper' and then walk slowly to the back of the store where the toilet paper is, pick it up, then detour through the clothes aisle looking for a pair of shorts that will fit your size 3X ass, while I am still waiting at the register with 9 other people, trying to explain to them, that I would love to ring up their 2 greeting cars, bottle of bleach, and a pair of orange clogs, but I am still trying to check your fat ass out..
Please...learn how to speak English...I know it's hard, but I'm afraid I'm going to sell you the wrong product, phone card, or medicine because I don't know enough Spanish to figure out what you want...If not I will be forced to use what Spanish I do know to tell you your father fucks goats and you are an asshole..
If you know you have a bad check out..don't think we won't scan your check through the machine and find out that we can't take your check...and if you do..please don't drag out $13.91 and say, can you take off everything but what ever I can buy with this?..
Don't steal, we can see you...If not the bulging pockets on your pants, or the flat purse that suddenly has gained 14lbs is a sure give away...Watch your kid, he sees you do it and then comes in the next day and tries to stuff a Speed Racer toy in his pants..
When you kid wants a toy or candy and you won't buy it for him, please bip the kid in the head when he starts yelling and throwing himself on the floor, kicking and screaming at the top of his lungs..and if you DON'T smack the kid, please don't give in to him to get him to shut up..Bipping is the way to go.
Do not wait till 10 minutes till closing to do your weeks grocery shopping..Do not wait till 5 minutes till closing to decide to try on every blouse, skirt, pants, dress in the store and then leave with out buying anything, leaving all the clothes scattered all over the floor. Remember..I'm not your fucking maid. Most of all do not come in at 5 minutes till closing and get your stuff and after I have wrung it up say:"oh, it's only $8.17? Gee if I'm going to write a check I want to make it for more than that." And start looking up and down the aisle for something you might need...Then when I loudly say it's 8 o'clock, we're closing...say: 'are you talking to me?'...No you stupid bitch I'm talking to the Winnie The Pooh stuffed animal marked down to $1.80...
Other than that...I had a great day...

One year I wrote bah fucking humbug...and one year it was Merry Christmas and all that other happy bullshit..
Bab's foot is still all infected and she isn't doing well either...still running a fever, foot is swollen the size of a grapefruit...red and pusie, pussy, pussie, however you spell it it still looks like her foot looks like a red pussy...which is not what I mean..it's got puss coming out of it..jeez...have got to learn how to spell...

What else..?...I dropped another 6 lbs..hauled another pair of jeans out of the back of the closet that I haven't worn since Carter was president...and they fucking fit...I'm so happy...pretty soon I'll just be tits and elbows..

Miss McLennan-Hill Czech-Slovak Queen Ashley Sulak was crowned the new Miss Texas Czech-Slovak Queen and the little Czech Sister is Kaylin Gerik. All those costumes they are wearing are home made by either their mother, aunt, grandmother or some other relative..pretty neat..
Oh Oh ....remember my friends T.J. and Merle the gay couple that run Strickly Country(yes that is how they spell it..the guy owned the bar thought that was how you spelt strictly...he used to be our Chief of Police....really..owned the bar and was chief of police at the same time...I swear this is true..), anyhow...Merle and T.J. had sold the bar and retired....they were happy doing what ever people do when they retire..the waitress's sugar daddy bought it for her...but they forgot one thing...no one liked her..so every one quit coming to the bar..so they sold it to this other guy...who they found out had a felony and couldn't own a bar..so ......Merle and T.J. have the bar back...they spent a bunch of money remodeling and fixing it up and last Sunday they had the grand opening..I was going to go(they were having a free fish fry) but had to go into work 2 hours early so blew it off...So Strickly Country is back in business with their gay owners...I love my town..where else in Texas could 2 gay guys run a bar(a very very popular bar) and not have anyone give a shit..
The paper this week had 2 sections...2 whole entire sections...one was all sports...the Trojan boys beat Whitney 13-2 and advanced to the playoffs...and the Lady Trojans(I can hear you giggling nitwit) are undefeated in district and are going to the playoffs..They beat Glen Rose 21-2(yes you read that right..21 to fucking 2...) they are 10-0 in district..we won the title..we rock...It's still up in the air who they will play and where..We're all a twitter over our Trojans...Plus West summer league opening day was past Saturday..We have 4 fields...and they are like professional fields..I'll have to take some pictures...we have huge lights and everything..baseball is king in West...This kid is a T-ball player...
We have a new commercial listing too...Ray's Electric is being sold..Ray died and the kids tried to keep it going but they all have pretty bush lives so when the wife died(Inky's Aunt and Uncle) the family decided to sell..So Ray's Electrical and Plumbing, turnkey business including building, equipment, inventory and all fixtures. This also includes 2 rental units for $125,000...not a bad deal...
Houses for sale are at a premium..There are for sale signs up all over town..even some of the new fancy brick homes that are less than 5 years old...one for sale has a pool...
We had 6 deaths and no births...This time last year for every 4-6 deaths there were 1-2 births...not this year...

Y'all need to come to West, Texas....it's 1957 here...and the food's great...

.......Y'ALL COME.......
you'll be able to wear one of those t-shirts if you move here.
I was reading the DAM News and found several articles that I think all of you should hear about...First one was about the fact that Texas passed N.Y. as home to the most big companies.
The Lone Star State is at the top of the 'heap'...Texas now has 58 head-quarters, three more than New York, the previous No.1 California has 52. Why are we number one? Low taxes, affordable land and large workforce.(si)..Land...oh man..we have lots and lots of land. We have no state taxes and plenty of cheap labor thanks to the over abundance of Hispanic aliens. So you can get a good job, low prices for a house, a good looking Texan, and someone to mow your lawn at affordable prices.
So what more could you ask for..Plus, Jackie is right down the road...oh, by the way...right down the road is anywhere from 3 miles to 580.
"Cost is overwhelmingly the No.1 driver," said Albert Niemi Jr., dean of the business school at SMU, who wrote his doctoral thesis 30 years ago abut companies leaving the Northeast for the Sun Belt. The cities that have the most headquarters are
Houston----25
Dallas---12
San Antonio---5
Fort Worth---4
Irving---4
Austin/Round Rock---2
El Paso---1
Grapevine---1
Pittsburgh---1
The Woodlands---1
Some of the Fortune 500 that are headquartered here are:
Exxon Mobil(who woulda thunk it) ConocoPhillips, At&T, Valero Energy, Dell, Marathon Oil, Sysco, Enterprise GP Holdings, J.C. Penny,Kimberly-Clark, Halliburton(no surprise there, thanks to Bush and his bidness buddies),Texas Instruments, Whole Foods Market, Blockbuster, and Clear Channel Communications.
Just a few..The jobs are here and according to the other article...so are the men...Dallas has the 4th-largest surplus of unmarried men. North Texas has 46,300 more single men than single women..Those are some pretty good odds, but the LA, Long Beach and Santa Ana area is even better with 89,000 more single men than women. N.Y., and Northern New Jersey has 211,000 more single women than men. Maybe it's cause they keep getting whacked by the mob?
What I'm trying to say here folks...is that we have the jobs, we have the men and lots of cheap housing, thanks to the mortgage slump. Maybe you can get one of the single guys to help you move into your new house, after you get a new job..There are lots of pluses too....the sun sets, the sun rises, the friendly people, the blue bonnets, and the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream.
You have desert, mountains, hills, beaches, swamps, forests, and red necks out the ass..Ok, that's not a plus...So, pack up your old kit back and come down and see us..ya hea'?

GOOD BYE BY FRIEND
Charles Edward Davis, 76, of Kailua-Kona, died April 15 at Kona Community Hospital. Born March 13, 1932, in Prescott, Ariz., he was an industrial engineer in the computer electronics industry.
Monday, April 21, 2008 8:20 AM HST
For those that have been with me from the beginning here will remember 1974...that's when Jack died, I met Chuck, went on trial found not guilty and Chuck became one of the most important people in my life..he was my lover for a long time but my friend for ever. Which is why when he asked me to marry him I said no..I knew if we got married it would last 3 years tops, and if we didn't we would be friends for ever...and I was right..So he went back to his wife and we remained friends...I don't know how to explain to you how important he was to me...from the time we met he was my strength to go through what I had to go to..I'm not sure I could have gotten through it with out him..I had my Daddy and he was everything to me, but those times when he couldn't be there..Chuck was...for me, for my kids..I left Roswell after the trial and moved to Calif. to be near him. Chuck had been sober for about 10 years when I met him, and how he put up with me drinking is beyond me..but he did..calmly serenely and with an abundance of humor..We rode his motor cycle all over, went to private Karate lessons to stay in shape and then went to Marie Calendars for pie afterward. He called me Tiger. Things went haywire(mostly my drinking) and I moved back to Texas. He followed me back to Texas..after a while I told him it wasn't going to work..His job was in Calif. and we would come home on the weekends after eating in restaurants all week and I had been working at the Lodges, cooking all week..He wanted home cooked meals and I wanted to go out for dinner. He went back to Calif. But we never gave up on each other...He got me a job at Paramount Studio..I moved back to Calif. Hollywood sucks...I got caught up in the writers strike, plus wouldn't fuck my boss at Paramount and he gave me a pink slip.. So after a while I went back to Texas ...I saw him once again when I was in Southern Calif. working for the book company...He and Mojo and I went out and had lunch, talked over old times and it was great..I may not have ever seen him again..but I talked to him on the phone all the time..He moved to Hawaii, he sent me my first computer, and the most beautiful flowers for my birthday every year...His health became bad and he was on dialysis 4 hours at a time 3 days a week..I offered my kidney but I have hepatitis so couldn't. I always sent him silly emails for him to read while he was sitting in the hospital for all those hours...he said it made it much easier with laughter provided by the Tiger.. The last infection he got did him in..He was 76, but always in my heart and mind he will be the dashing tall gentleman, with tinted sunglasses, riding off in the sunset on his motor cycle.
i have tried to cry every since i got the email from Barb, Chuck's wife telling me he had passed away..but i stop myself each time as i don't want to cry when i think about him. i want to remember him with with laughter...which is why i will follow this post with a update on what's going on with me, babs and ole west, texas..

For those that have been with me from the beginning here will remember 1974...that's when Jack died, I met Chuck, went on trial found not guilty and Chuck became one of the most important people in my life..he was my lover for a long time but my friend for ever. Which is why when he asked me to marry him I said no..I knew if we got married it would last 3 years tops, and if we didn't we would be friends for ever...and I was right..So he went back to his wife and we remained friends...I don't know how to explain to you how important he was to me...from the time we met he was my strength to go through what I had to go to..I'm not sure I could have gotten through it with out him..I had my Daddy and he was everything to me, but those times when he couldn't be there..Chuck was...for me, for my kids..I left Roswell after the trial and moved to Calif. to be near him. Chuck had been sober for about 10 years when I met him, and how he put up with me drinking is beyond me..but he did..calmly serenely and with an abundance of humor..We rode his motor cycle all over, went to private Karate lessons to stay in shape and then went to Marie Calendars for pie afterward. He called me Tiger. Things went haywire(mostly my drinking) and I moved back to Texas. He followed me back to Texas..after a while I told him it wasn't going to work..His job was in Calif. and we would come home on the weekends after eating in restaurants all week and I had been working at the Lodges, cooking all week..He wanted home cooked meals and I wanted to go out for dinner. He went back to Calif. But we never gave up on each other...He got me a job at Paramount Studio..I moved back to Calif.

PICTURES...I FOUND PICTURES
I finally took the 2 toss away cameras into the house of Satan today..but first let me start from the beginning..
today is the first of my 2 days off...hot dang!
Yesterday Babs calls and tells me she got bit by Baby, the tailless Siamese cat from next door..He was on her porch terrorizing Peaches and Babs stuck her foot out to push him off and he bit the ever living shit out of her..4 huge fang marks on her ankle..Told her if it didn't get better to call me(even though it is my day off and had plans to do nada all day long) and I would take her to see Dr. E., so she called me and I took her to the Dr. where she got a tetanus shot and 2 scripts..She's got infection, a fever and is hobbling around from that stupid fucking cat...Dr. E. told her to call the police and have them pick up the cat as the lady said 'she thought he had his shots'....so the cat is sitting in quarantine and Bab's on the couch knocked out on pain pills...and to top it off...Anessa, Inky's wife got bit by a spider and she's allergic and he had to take her to the hospital today. I on the other hand dropped 4 more lbs...While I was at the house of Satan this morning I put the toss away cameras in and had been so long I couldn't remember what was on them..hell, it was more Halloween pictures along with some Christmas pictures..jeez...none of me..but on this one I have now I will have some pics of me, Inky and Anessa and will take some more of me so you can see me before I waste away to nothing but tits and elbows...
We've had rain, wind and sun..today is just the most glorious day...Hotter than hell with a little breeze..
Today I got the keys to go check my mail and Annie shot out of the apt. like a bullet...out the door, down the steps and across the parking lot and stopped right in front of the office and turned around and looked at me, as if to say..'where the hell are you?'....I laughed my ass off, and then told her to come back and she kinda loped back ...when I got to the office Charlotte and David wanted to know what the hell was chasing Annie..I said nothing, she heard the keys and knew I was coming so she raced to beat me here..She's just happy that I'm home and not going any where...she HATES the fact that I'm working and not here all day long at her beck and call...Spoiled wench..won't eat cat food any more, so now I'm roasting chicken breasts for her to eat..
Wed. is the shipping off of the gnomes..and the box of books for the Buddha-boy Robert..Hmm, what else..?
Jenny and her boyfriend Jason came by with her $400 Maltese puppy Lula....who the hell names a dog Lula..Shady Lane was right, Jenny gets her way..Jason and I wanted to call her Boo(she's all white)...I got 15 novels for Jason at the library sale for $1 each for his birthday..This month was birthday month...Thom, Kathy(girls mom), Jason and Patsy Patsy Patsy at the Community Grocery. Next month is MOJO's 35th birthday..jeez....my baby is 35...sigh*....
ok...now will add all the pictures...and try to post again tomorrow..except I have to do laundry...which we all know I love to do...feck!..I'm going to do the pictures separately..
