“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Freezing Temperatures = Horrible Conditions, but Happy Koi

People.  If you can stay home, do it.  It's ridiculous crazy outside.  There were over 100 car accidents around 3 - 4 AM this morning.  Most, if not all, toll roads and major freeways are closed.  Schools, universities and countless businesses will remain closed until further notice. Stay tuned to your local news and weather channels to monitor the current situation.

Luckily for me, I'm off on Fridays, so I have no reason to be out and about.  As for my love, Ryan, he works close by, but they will call him later to find out if it's even possible to open with a small crew.


I have posted some pictures of our Koi swimming happily in their pond, they love freezing temperatures. There's ice over our Mexican Palm, which is not happy whatsoever, and our Oleanders are frozen to the point they are leaning over.  I took a picture of our Willow Tree, but you can't see the ice covering it, looks invisible; imagine how the roads look like.  And finally, our Bamboo, unless a miracle were to happen, is surely dead after this winter storm; it is covered in ice.

Our poor trees. :( Oh well, whatever survives, survives. No new trees until we get our forever home. Hopefully the bamboo and other plants will grow back. At least Koi are happy go lucky fishies.
