The News That Is News At Fairfax!!
It is raining here. Has been for about an hour or more. At one point we got in the car because we were in a tornado watch. You can tell by the pictures of our backyard there is nothing south of here but fields and no trees. So since tornadoes go from the south to the north we are kind of scared to be in the trailer. We had a good "frog-strangler" as my Baby calls it.
Bobby came by with his father today when they were picking up Trey. Yes, Trey Daniel spent the night. I was so excited. It was the first time since January. So anyway, he was saying that he danced with Amanda all night.. He left after Prom to go to his girlfriends' house. He said it was getting to close for him. After prom they have an After Prom thing. Where they lock the kids in someplace so they can't get out and get drunk. When I was in school we had the first year of after prom thing. We got locked up in the Legion building. We had a casino night. When I was a senior we got locked up in the YMCA down in St. Joe. That was kind of cool, except that I started and I couldn't go swimming. It is a lot different now. One year the kids got locked up in the movie theater and one year they got locked in the bowling alley. This year they got locked up in the new gym at the school. I couldn't believe that they got locked up at the school.
My Baby just about passed out yesterday when we went up to the school to get pictures. He said that he would have had a fit if his mom would have came to the school where they were having the prom. And then Bobby didn't bring his date to the dance or bring his date a coursage. She brought it to him. They were supposed to have met down at the carwash so he could ride the limo to the school. I think they still got to ride it after the pictures were taken, but I don't know for sure. The picture of the guy with the horse and carriage was the man that I used to babysit for whne I was a kid. His name is John Zeliff. He lives outside of town about 2 miles north of where I grew up. I babysat for his oldest daughter (who is Elizabeths' age), her name is Lauren. When she was a baby she had something wrong with her heart and she was on a heart monitor. I remember sitting in the rocking chair holding her when she was asleep, and then I would hurry up and hook her up to the monitor. She was born in 1986. So I was 15 when I started babysitting for them. I babysat for them until she was 3 or 4. And then I got to babysit again for them when Bobby and their daughter Leslie were 2. I stopped when Leslie just kept biting Bobby. She bit him hard quite a few times. I would sit her in timeout and everything. She wouldn't stop for anything. So one day I bit her back. I just got so sick and tired of it. I thought if she thinks that my son is a chew toy she is going to find out what it feels like. Her momma didn't like it when she called me up and asked me and I told her "yes, I bit her." She informed me "that they didn't need me anymore." I told her "good, I am tired of her chewing on my son." And I hung up on her. It kind of bothered me that she would get mad at me. I actually babysat for them quite a awhile. When I took that picture of John on that carriage, he just waved real big to me. It made me feel real good. I had known John forever. His dad gave my brother, Doug, a dog. It was a rat terrior, we named him Bozo. Don't ask me why, but that was what he called him. So I had known them for a loooonnnnnngggg time.
Sorry, I got to chasing rabbits. I do that alot. My Baby was singing that song about "Talking to much." I guess I do now that I look back on it. Sorry. I am going to get off of here and find that song for him. Lol!! All of you have a good night. Don't forget to hold your baby real tight tonight and the storms won't bother you as bad. Goodnight all, Roxi

GOTTA SHARE!!!!!




This is our son, Bobby. Isn't he so HANDSOME!! I am very biased when it comes to our kids. So tonight is his prom. He went with a girl named Amanda Yocum. They call it a "safe date". They aren't dating or anything. I think that it is so cool. He is supposed to be riding in a lemo, and the carriage is to take the dates to the prom. Right now, it is raining, so they will have to wait on that one.Anyway, that is the exciting thing going on in our little part of the world. It was so great. I will talk more in a little bit. Just wanted to share this with you right now. Roxi

I Don't EVER Do This!!
"Missouri has delayed tax refunds and quietly borrowed $325 million from its cash reserves in order to pay employees, public schools, hospitals and other bills.
If officials had not acted to keep the state afloat, Missouri would have been $100 million in the hole at the start of April, according to state financial documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Gov. Jay Nixon's director of budget and planning confirmed Monday that the delay in tax refunds and the borrowed money both were necessary for cash flow purposes. Those actions come on top of about $180 million in spending cuts previously made by Nixon's administration to keep the budget in balance.
Other states, including Kansas, California and North Carolina, also have delayed tax refund checks this year because of cash-flow concerns.
Although Nixon's administration never publicized it, Missouri borrowed $175 million from its reserves in February and an additional $150 million in March, according to an April 2 cash flow analysis by Nixon's Office of Administration labeled as an internal draft.
Missouri began its 2009 fiscal year last July with $557 million in its budget reserve fund. The state constitution allows money to be withdrawn from reserves for cash-flow purposes so long as it is repaid with interest before May 16.
Such short-term borrowing is not unusual. The state has tapped reserves in six of the past seven years. But last year's borrowing, for example, simply built up the state's bank account balance rather than keeping Missouri's general revenue fund from hitting zero.
The financial documents show Missouri paid out about $81 million less in tax refunds from January through March than it did in the same quarter last year. A separate Department of Revenue document, also obtained by the AP, shows that individual income tax refunds accounted for about $65 million of that reduction.
Revenue Department spokesman Ted Farnen acknowledged Monday that cash-flow concerns are one reason that tax refund checks are being delayed. He said the agency gets updates about once a week from Nixon's budget office detailing how much money is available to be refunded to taxpayers.
"If there were refunds that was ready to go and we didn't have the money for a certain time period then, yes, we would have to hold that refund until we got the money," Farnen said."
Now isn't that FOOLISH, folks. I am sure that I am wrong on this. But, here is my opinion. If they didn't give money to every Tom, Dick, and Harriet. Okay, there are plenty of people in this town that get Disability for being FREAKING LAZY!! Seriously, they don't ever do anything, have never done anything, and will NEVER DO ANYTHING!! I understand being disabled, but these folks are NOT. They are depressed, bi-polar, or just fat and lazy. Literally, fat. There was this lady in this town that gets a "fat-check" as she herself calls it. Now, folks, there are plenty of people who deserve it and yes should have it.
And then the food stamp program. Don't even get me started, as my Baby says. There was this couple, she worked at the nursing home in a nearby town and her husband gets HIGH all of the time. He will admit that he does. She came in to Caseys' and got some food (mostly sodas and a salad) with FOOD STAMPS!! I looked (and I know I am not supposed to, just curious) and after she got it I looked at the remaining balance and she still had $400.00 left. THAT IS FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!! My Baby's wife left him with 2 kids and they wouldn't -WOULD NOT- give him a dime. The FREAK up the street- who lived in a SHACK- had a BRAND NEW HOUSE ACROSS the Street, which her dad willed her money and they moved that in 10-12 years ago- lived in a one bedroom shack that my Baby wouldn't use for a woodshop- they get foodstamps and DISABILITY- for being freaking LAZY. She works at the hospital and he has never worked a day in his life.
There is another right across the street, her name is Sara, her daddy was in prison for molesting her cousin and for having meth. Once he even blew up the house they were living in in Tarkio with a meth lab, and the town gave the poor FREAKS money and clothes. He FLUNKED SCIENCE (not even kidding) when he was in school. BUT we're smart enough for a meth lab. YOU BET!! Anyway, so she lives with her grandma, who works at the hospital, and since her grandpa was lazy and wouldn't have bypass surgery, they get DISABILITY and FOOD STAMPS.
I am sorry for going off folks. I know that I have no right to pass judgment on anyone. But if the state of Missouri is holding -HOLDING- working class fools (like us) refund for whenever THEY want to pay us. Of course, they take it out of our paycheck right away. But we have to wait until they get off of their arse to give it back. I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THAT. I am sorry.
That is probably why I don't get into politics. IT REALLY UPSETS ME, can you tell?! Sorry folks. I had to do it. Have a great night and I am getting off of here. I am going to go to bed real soon. I GUESS I AM A LITTLE CRANKY PANTS!! Sorry again. Have a good night all. Thank you for letting me rant. Roxi

Very Lazy Day today!
So today, I fixed my Baby's jeans. Got a pair of them hemed up for him. I am pretty proud of myself. I got everything accomplished that I wanted to on this wonderful three days off.
Besides that I got to spend three glorious days with my Baby. I absolutely do NOT want to go back to work tomorrow. I know I should be happy that I have a job, but I LOVE BEING HOME WITH MY BABY!! We can relax and just sit around and enjoy each other's company. We NEVER EVER fight. Once a month, on one day (only until I take Ibuprofin) I go off like a titan missle. I know when I need to take the medicine. And it goes away. That is the only time. We have been together for 3 years and 7 months. And have only had a spat three times. They were at the first before I knew to take the Ibuprofin. So now we don't. All three times it was my fault, and I am so SO SORRY, Baby. I love you with all of my heart. Thank you for spending all this time with me. I have had the most wonderful days with you, we haven't done this for quite awhile. Thank you. I am so proud of you for working as hard as you have lately. I am very proud of you. Keep up the great work.
Have a good night all. Let your Baby hold you real tight. I know I am. Maybe he will make the night go REAAAALLLLY SLLOOOOWWW so I won't have to go to work that soon. Good night all. Roxi

Good Evening All!!
Easter, for me, is kind of messed up. I never knew (pre-Bill) what Easter was about. All I knew was that on March 30th, 1991 it was a Saturday, at 10:10 p.m. my son Allen Scott Agnew passed away. It was the day before Easter. So on Easter morning, we drove up from Dallas, Texas to Craig, Mo to bury my son. It was the same for Christmas. I knew that we celebrated it for the birth of Christ Almighty. I lost Sarah Marie Agnew on December 20th, 1996. I buried her on December 23rd. I told the caretaker that she WAS NOT GOING TO SPEND CHRISTMAS in the funeral home. He got her done before. I know that he had to work REALLY hard on that baby. But, with God's will he got it done. So on Christmas we woke up in Craig, and my son Bobby, opened his presents while Sarahs' were out in Nebraska unopened.
Anyway, my Baby just told me that neither holiday is about what I always have thought. Easter is about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So now (pre-Bill) I still think of Allen and Sarah's Death. But we also rejoice in that knowing that Christ died for our sins.
Explanation for Pre-Bill and Post-Bill. Pre-Bill was my life before my Baby, and Post-Bill is my life now. Before my Baby, I was the very woman that was not good for ANY man. I drank too much. Which I have stopped. I smoked pot. Which I have been almost 4 years clean. And I slept with the worst SKANKIEST men around. I just wanted loved. My song, pre-Bill, was "I hate my life" by George Strait. I ALWAYS told my EX (then husband) "that I would shoot myself in the head, but I didn't want him to clean it up or Bobby (my son) to see me that way." I told him that all of the time. I have this HUGE SCAR on my stomach from when they cut me open to get my gall-bladder out. They had to completely open me up because my gall-bladder was imbedded in my liver 4". When they cut it out, I was bleeding out. For an hour and a half surgery, I was in there 6 1/2 hours. They almost lost me. When the doctor was taking out the staples I looked at him and told him he should have left me alone. To me, now that I think back, and I know I was serious. They should have put me on something. I just had Trey Daniel in March, 2000 and in September, 2000 was when I had my surgery.
But now, I am SO GLAD TO BE ALIVE!! I have my Baby and I have a great future to look forward to with the man of my dreams. I love you with all of my heart, Baby. Thank you for taking so great of care of me. I am SO LOOKING FORWARD to being with you the next three days!!!! I am going to get off of here. Everyone have a great night. Take care and I will let you go for now. Good night all. Don't forget to let your Baby hold you real tight. Roxi

Today was a DAY!!
I felt TERRIBLE this morning. First off we both HATE thursdays. That is the day that most of the deliveries come. And most of the time the manager won't do her job so I have to check in the deliveries. So that means with the RPO I have to scan the product and on one of the deliveries the guy is a real pain in the a**. And then to top it off Marie was there. Who is our district supervisor. She has a HUGE PROBLEM with my Baby and I kissing good-bye. There for a little while a few peoople were bitching about my Baby and I kissing. So they would tell her. One lady actually told her that "the new assistant manager and her husband were making out." MAKING OUT!! We kiss, we don't grope or do anything inappropriate, at all. I don't feel right my Baby leaves and I don't get to kiss him goodbye. I am so afraid of something happening to him before I get to see him again. My Baby told Patsy that it makes him "uncomfortable someone watching us kiss. " We both told her that neither one of us was going to stop because of our fears. We just don't do it in front of Marie. We did get to peck on the lips. But not like we usually do, and I don't like that at all. So Marie and three other workers took the bottom shield guard off of the shelves. They are going to have someone come in and strip the floors and wax them. They are going to have the floors done on Monday night.
Today I got told who the person was that stole. There was a girl that told me everything that she took. And it wasn't a FOUNTAIN or a PIECE OF PIZZA. Oh no she took off of the shelf. Some king size candy bars, cigarettes, and stuff like that. And supposedly she does it quite often. The sad part is: is she is very dependable (likes to take a lot of days off) but she still works when she is there. So Patsy is dragging her feet alot, I am so afraid that she will be fired along with the thief. I sincerely hope not. I really like working with her. Today she (Patsy) did tell me that I was NOT going to do donuts. She doesn't "want me to be in the kitchen because I spoil her". My Baby said "yea you do because you do her job." Well, I try. Not spoiling her, but I do alot of jobs up there. I never EVER brag on myself, but I am very proud of what Patsy said. But I also know that I sure don't want to get up before the butt-crack of dawn. Those people get up at 3:30 in the morning. I didn't even know that it comes twice a day. LOL!!
Thank you Jan for visiting and commenting on the new look. I thought that it needed to be Springy. I think that it does actually. We are going to go to bed and have ourselves a great night. I have to kiss my Baby the right way. And I can't wait. All of you have a great night and kiss and hold you Baby real tight. It makes the world go away, which is a really GOOD THING. So Goodnight all, Roxi

APRIL 1st OH MY GOSH!!

Today started out good, except that we had to get up early. I had to be at work at 8. I know, it isn't too early, BUT for me it is. When I was at the window in the kitchen I looked out and there was this little rabbit sitting there. I HAD to take its picture. Of course it wasn't smiling, but it still was cute. ;) Apparently, on this new camera, there is a anti-shake button on it. My baby has it on, because I shake so bad. I don't know what is wrong and NO I am NOT going to the doctor, I don't want to know.
And then we got to work and Patsy tells me that we need to make sure that we have our receipts with us when we leave, because she got told today (before I got there) that someone is taking things out without paying for it. Someone being employees. And she also said that that person is going to get fired. FIRED!! Before we had a meeting about this EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE (even Marie, the district supervisor) took things out without paying for it. Mainly like filling up our fountain drinks up before leaving. We get our fountain drinks free (the employees) and we also get 50% discount for food. So you know, it is a bad habit NOT to pay but before it did happen. So now for 2 weeks or so we have to pay for a refill or not take the cup home. Which that is what I do, not take any home. So I don't know who she is talking about, but it is kinda stressful right now. I have this HUGE problem with a guilty-conscience. HUGE!! I have always had it even when I was little. So I have been pretty bad today and it has been a VERY LONG day. I think there was a thing in that little information thing they give out that said they had 1400 stores. And in our store there are 18 employees, 10 or so are full-time. So what I think is that, you know, I understand that there needs to be a stopping point for stealing. But with 1400 times 20 employees that would be right around 2800 people. And I am sure that there are more because most stores are a whole lot bigger than ours. And yes the stealing needs to stop but give the employee (especially one that is always at work and sorks hard) give that employee a warning. Say to them " I know that you screwed up, but we are watching you and if you do it again we will fire you." Not walk in to work and all of a sudden say "You're fired." Hand you your pink-slip and out you go. My Baby says that it is a scare tactic and that he doesn't scare easy. Oh, but I do. If I didn't have deoderant on I would have been sweating bullets and really stinking. I am not doing well with this. SEE, I told you I have a guilty conscience.
On to other things. I am making a chocolate cake today. I didn't get to make Trey one for his birthday so we are making one today for us. I love birthdays. They are my favorite. Mainly because of the cake, but because we lived an extra year. I think they are great. So that is what I am doing. Besides ranting. Thank you for telling me that others do it too, Jan. That really made me feel better. I don't have to much political thoughts or religious thoughts. Mainly what I have to deal with eveeryday and the people. Which either one isn't all that great to talk about. But, I am getting off of here for now. You all have a great night and hold your Baby real tight. It always makes me feel so much better. Good night all, Roxi
