pobble thoughts pages home pobble thoughts i am a new englander a southerner my own woman rex s daughter a quivering mass of contradictions nothing here means any more or less than you want it to mean this and a buck fifty will get you coffee but it s me and i really like that monday july 20 2015 10 years i started this blog on july 20 2005 things weren t good which is part of why i started this blog by july the following year i was living in worcester nemeria had gotten married i had met someone worth chatting with and crow s ex had died all of those things were an adjustment apparently july 20 2007 was a double post day a scary thought and the return of a friend by 2008 i was writing books full time and coming out of crunch time july 20 2009 pauline had a guest post it was very exciting i obviously didn t erase the link either and no it s no longer live yet in 2010 living up in alaska i totally revamped the 3rd novel come 2011 we had left alaska and signed a lease in new orleans and oh in 2012 the noir ish romance of the city was still with us in 2013 i reconnected with starbuck my badass starbuck then it was sad in 2014 as i learned the ugly side of being able to find just about anybody online and learned my suitor from when we were young had died and now ten years people god you ve seen me through so much from really not good to better than i ever could have secretly dreamed of let alone believed possible here s the thing the thought of shutting pobble thoughts down completely makes me sad just the other day lithus and i needed to remember a date so i looked it up here it s a record of my world like no other but but i m not writing nearly as much as i used to and and here s the kicker i don t miss it oh when i m in the shower i compose a post every now and then or something will happen and i ll think that will make a great blog but i don t get back here to write it and find that s okay with me and i can t bring myself to let it become another one of those blogs that just stops where the person simply doesn t come back yet the thought of shutting it down makes me sad what s a pobble to do i ve decided that here in a few days i m going to turn off my comments no one leaves them any longer anyway if you ve been lurking drop me a line to say goodbye i d love that and i ll turn off my stat counter too because in the 9 3 4 years since i first got readers i have yet to have a day when no one stopped by and i can t bear to see that day come maybe i ll write again maybe this will be the catalyst that brings this blog back full force maybe i ll revisit during the holiday maybe i ll post occasionally for myself or maybe this is the last one it s been ten years after all i m home again i am loved and i love both beyond word and measure i have a job that pays better than any i ve ever held before and i can do it in my pajamas even things with my biofamily are the best they have ever been i m healthy happy and deliciously well thank you for being here through it all i think maybe it s time to go do something else now those my dear friends are pobble thoughts that and a buck fifty will get you coffee as always posted by bostonpobble at 8 56 am 7 comments sunday july 19 2015 now i m back i ve spent an afternoon with muppet and his peaches another with cam and mrs pike dinner with the fe is on the calendar and an evening with the blackbelts is in the works we even have a key to dr b s place i m home wherever lithus is but i can settle back in and believe i live in new england again now that these people are back in my regular life and it s good to be back those are pobble thoughts that and a buck fifty will get you coffee posted by bostonpobble at 5 15 pm 0 comments tuesday july 07 2015 fine tooth comb want to feel weird go over your spending habits with a fine tooth comb actually have someone else do it over the weekend we had both of our debit cards and one of lithus credit cards declined because we triggered security alerts we had plenty of cash in the bank account plenty of room on the credit card but so on july 3rd we sat out in the parking lot of the farmers market and had the following conversation them the account has been accessed at three separate farmers markets us yes them three really us yep we like our u pick farms up here in massachusetts them and alaska airlines and delta airlines both yesterday us yep them from different cities us yes he came from fairbanks she came from medford them yeah that s what our records show us as well they should them okay thank you very much we ve released your account then july 5th in a home depot parking lot them did you just buy these appliances in rhode island us we did them just to confirm this and this and this and this us that s correct them okay thank you very much we ve released your account both customer service reps were professional respectful and polite they didn t make us feel weird for our farmers market habits or needing three small appliances and one large one or even traveling on two separate airlines from different states it was however weird to look that closely kind of like looking in one s pantry or medicine cabinet and wondering what other people would consider normal and if having seven bags of 3 different kinds of coffee would make you unusual and why did those trigger security alerts when other purchases like a freaking car didn t who knows not us and not the nice people on the other end of the phone honestly i d rather have them catch something legitimate than let something illicit slide so i m even okay with it but the fine tooth comb was interesting to say the least those are pobble thoughts that and a buck fifty will get you coffee posted by bostonpobble at 12 12 pm 0 comments saturday july 04 2015 4th of july psa this one s easy folks don t set shit on fire someone i love someone you love is a first responder whatever you need to cook grill blow up sparkle i don t care go for it enjoy it we too will be cooking grilling and sparkling we leave the blowing up for the city just dear lord people do it safely don t set shit on fire it s really not that hard those are pobble thoughts that and a buck fifty will get you coffee posted by bostonpobble at 10 57 am 1 comments friday june 26 2015 marriage equality you know i m thrilled i am the tax benefits the protections the rights they belong to all people and soctus has confirmed that now but but religious freedom restoration acts still exist which means that lgbtq peoples can still be discriminated against for religious reasons these laws aren t just not make a wedding cake laws don t want to make a wedding cake for a queer couple whatever fuck you but whatever these laws are don t get to make decisions for your dying partner level laws these are employers don t have to offer your family insurance level laws they are the work around and they are being written and passed in state after state after state but employment protection laws are still not universal but housing protection laws are still not universal but lgbtq peoples are still threatened bullied attacked and killed because we live in a society that doesn t see equality and has to have it legislated eta this brilliant infographic from the center for american progress marriage equality is an exciting first step so long as it is one so long as it is the first step of many i ll get truly excited when we start throwing this same kind of commitment passion and devotion around when it comes to achieving true equality not just marriage equality those are pobble thoughts that and a buck fifty will get you coffee posted by bostonpobble at 11 16 am 0 comments friday june 19 2015 well hi whew on the one hand i feel like i should offer a very long explanation of where i ve been and everything that s happened and what the hell s been going on on the other hand i think if i do that i will a forget something important so the other things that follow won t make sense b bore you c be far too overwhelmed and stop writing about 2 3 of the way through so we ll see where this post goes we made the move we made the move and it went well lithus and i are officially residents of massachusetts now on the road goodbye lake pontchartrain hello mississippi a surreal moment travelin ducks the truck we found a muppets themed diner as close as we expected to get to manhattan but there was a detour still we made to worcester bought a car got moved in ran around like mad doing all the things one must do to move in before heading back out to oregon again a week later when this thing happened i got a text from my friend here in worcester bolger saying i need you on the next plane home his partner the lion has passed away now the lion was 43 in good health the lion should not have been passing away so i called bolger and the first words out of my mouth were is this a fucking joke but it wasn t so i headed back to woo there were family gatherings and services and i spent a couple nights on the other side of bolger s bed so he didn t have to sleep alone yet and in the middle of that there was more moving as we got the stuff that has been in storage for the last eight years out and up three flights of stairs and unpacked while still trying to be there for my grieving friend and trying to grieve as needed myself and buy a mattress because my mother was coming to visit the very day we returned home from our next tour to oregon which happened rightnow then home to worcester in time for my mother to arrive later that day to sleep on the mattress we d bought two weeks previously and hadn t even had time to unwrap out of the plastic it was delivered in and why was my mother coming to visit right then because lithus was finally becoming a citizen which deserves so much more of a post than i m about to give it and maybe there will be another for now here are some images from that day that amazing perfect wonderful citizenship day if he ever runs for office this will be on his campaign materials if you look closely you can see him waving registering to vote as an american we decided the best place to spend the afternoon was in concord where the shot heard round the world was fired and the whole kit and kaboodle started plus there s cheese in concord finally we went home napped changed and were ready to enjoy the evening straightening bunting enjoying the evening included steak but citizenship is a big deal and deserved more than a day so we also headed to plymouth to see where they first landed and lithus stuck his toes in the atlantic ocean for the first time mama taking a break in the red rocking chair her mother used to sit in signing the citizenship document for as excited as we were to be back near the muppet and his peaches mr and mrs pike the blackbelts the fe nemeria the list goes on we ve seen no one yet except bolger obviously but we didn t even see the lion before he died it s been too busy too fast but as of this week i think we re done i think we get to slow down and just figure out what it means to live life here in massachusetts today there s travel back to oregon and another fire fighting tour and so much more to write about but that can wait for another day another post i don t think i m done here in spite of the really long hiatus so thanks for sticking in with me and coming back those are pobble thoughts that and a buck fifty will get you coffee posted by bostonpobble at 9 08 am 1 comments sunday april 19 2015 evensong this morning we were going to go to the breakfast place where we d had our first
