Being a Movie Extra, Day

Being a Movie Extra, The Call came in

I always wanted to be in a movie. On Manday evening,, the call came. I have waited for almost 3 years for that call. I was given a list of items I should take with me and to report on location the next morning at 8:30 am. By-the-way, the hubby gets to be an extra too.

Since we did not have everything on the list and the few things we did have needed some work, we head into town. I needed a long black skirt, black or gray long sleeve shirt, black shoes and black knee highs. All i had were the black shoes.

The hubby needed black pants, black shirt, black boots or shoes. All he had was the boots but they needed to be redyed.

Off to town we go. First stop was he Good Will mainly because the Salvation Army store had already closed along wih the Thrift Shop on Lejeune Blvd. Anyway, I was not able to fine anything to fit me but the hubby was able to get a really nice black long sleeve Docker shirt for $3.95.

Next stop is Rose's. Could not fine a skirt, so, I got a summer long black dress and cut the top off put a waist band on and had a skirt but no shirt to be found. The only pants we could fine for the hubby was black jeans. We got socks, V-neck tee shirt for him there.
Now, it's to Walmart. Still no shirt to be found but I got the knee highs there and the hubby got his dye for the boots.

Home to fix the skirt and dye the boots. Not sure witch boots, the hubby, dyed two pair to take with him and i was finished wiyh my skirt by 11:30pm. I was so excited I couldn't sleep much and the hubby got no sleep. We were going to make a fine couple the next day on little and no sleep.

Nascar diecast cars

Yesterday was a trip to Wilmington, North Carolina, to start work on my Dad's Nascar diecast cars. There are so many of these and trying to get a price for them has to do where you live and what people are willing to pay. So, mom and i racked our brains trying to do this. The cars were alot of work but that was the easy part. Next time we start the hard work. It's the banners and books that he has. I figure in a couple of months, we'll have it done with no more time that I have to get to Wilmington.

While we were there, the clutch master cylinder, decided to go out in my truck. I love my husband but sometimes I wish he would listen to me. My truck clutch works but not right because I'm a woman. I'll get it fix just not soon.

The Younger Generation

I don't understand why the younger generation thinks we owe them something. My daughter, that lives with me, moved her boyfriend in almost a year ago. While he was in the Marines he paid his share of the bills around here. I even had a few dollars left over. The end of July he got put out because he refused to lose weight. Three months went by and he still had not done everything to collect his unemployement. Then he gets a job with Target stocking.

In early November, I stopped by the highest paying plant here. After several interviews he got the job. He tried to work both but he was starting to lay out at Target and leaving work early from the other job. So I told him to let Target go.

In the mean time, his so called friends take him and my daughter to court for tresspassing and commucating a threat. Now my daughter was drugged up cause she had had surgery 6 days before and she never got out of the car. He never left the car and the judge believed the witch and that upset me and I got hit with comtemp charges. So now, all the money he was making was going to pay all these court cost and fines.

We make it thru Christmas because I got a refund on my insurance and my daughter's ex-husband helped with my granddaughter's presents from Santa.

So now in January he looses his job for texting on the job. The best part is he brought scabies into my home. He expected me to do all the clothes and vaccum and bedding. I don't think so. I didn't go out and get those little bugs, HE DID.

Now, he wants to sit on his butt and wait on his VA disability. He refuses to apply for his unemployement again or look for a job. He can be seen at the VA clinic for free and get free drugs but what does he do, he steals my pain pills and my arthuris pills while I'm sleeping. I now have to hid them every night and take all my meds with me when I leave the house.

I can not claim him on the food stamps because if he gets any money i will loose all of them. Since I'm not going to the doctor as much because my cancer is under control, they cut our food stamp by $40. My husband and I are both disabled and our money just barely pays everything before he came. Now, this boy can eat. What makes it so bad, he thinks I can buy the same amount of food with $140 food stamp from when we got $200. He eats and does not think about my granddaughter. When i say something, he looks at me like, he didn't do it.

I would truly hate to put someone out without any money but it's about to happen. I don't care how many wars he's fought in.
