--I noticed that the day after I wrote about having noticed that a local Burger King had various harassing signs, including a display on its counter about "PEAK" iced tea, the front page of the Boston Globe showed a picture of President Obama and the British Prime Minister David Cameron cooking burgers. I had mentioned on my Weebly blog that the PEAK iced tea sign at Burger King was most likely in support of pedophilia.
I just looked up the website of the UK government. Under its section "Home and community," it says "Housing, Council Tax, Flooding...." The display at the top of the website shows a red passport cover. There's also a section that says "Local Giving. com: Make a difference in your community." There's another section that shows a chair on the beach and says "May Bank Holiday?"
(Here, at 9:37 p.m., is a correction of one of my famous mistakes. The graphic that says "Budget Day 23 March" is at the top of the page that deals entirely with child care, child safety, etc. It's even worse than what I thought it was at 5:44 a.m. this morning.)
President Obama went to Ireland and England soon after I wrote about how the Boston Globe had mocked the suicide of Phoebe Prince. Here's my question; is the UK just going to give in to our President? Is the UK just going to support an evil man's policies, to the detriment of its own citizens?
That question is aside from how horrifying it is to have a government of a country agree to bully one person, someone who's living in a homeless shelter and who's already getting bullied by a large number of other people.
There's no guarantee that President Obama will be President again. There's another election next year, and that's a chance to elect someone with more integrity who is more reasonable.
The policies of Neville Chamberlin vs. the policies of Winston Churchill....does that sound familiar? Whose policies worked better?
@ 5:44 a.m.
--I'm fairly certain that most if not all of the residents and staff of the shelter read my blog. Yesterday, one of the residents who's been a persistent harasser of me wore a shirt on which the first word was "Fishing." Another one, who I think is a somewhat recent arrival to the shelter, carried a NAVY bag.
After what I had written on my blog the day before yesterday, it seems to me that those men wanted to get into a fight with me, that they were looking for a reason to beat me up or more. Since I already never do anything to provoke their harassing behavior, since the pattern for all of the comments from everyone who's done it in person has been to seek me out, sit or stand near me and then have conversations about fishing and flooding and all the rest of it, I think that if the big harassers, like the media and the government and so on, continue their policy of persecution I can expect that men like those from the shelter yesterday aren't going to wait for me to yell at them or hit them in order to take the next step from harassing comments and behavior and just walk up to me and hit me or otherwise physically assault me.

--Convenience store snub gone wrong/The Price Chopper/more invasions of my privacy
A few days ago, I was at a convenience store that has had several large, yellow "Caution: Wet Floor" cones in various places on its entirely dry for weeks. When I entered the store, one of the female cashiers put a rack of lighters on her counter as she rang up other things, to indicate that she wasn't available to help me make my purchase.
I went to the other cash register, run by a male cashier. The female cashier commenced to give a loud, fake cough, which I returned, as I sometimes do when I've been irked by people harassing me who are total strangers to me and to whom I've never done anything bad in my life. She coughed again, even louder, and, rather than throw my beverage in her face, I tried to be mean about her in a comment to the male cashier. I meant to imply that the female cashier's behavior was caused by envy, and what I said, without thinking about it first, was "Green is a lovely color, isn't it?" Then I went on to say "It depends on the connotation."
I left the store feeling smug about my wittiness, and then I realized that I had said exactly the wrong thing. I also thought it likely that my comment was not only going to be known all over town before the end of the day, but that it would probably also make its way back to the corporate office for that chain of convenience stores.
At least I didn't throw my beverage in anybody's face. That is a plus.
This morning, I went to the local Price Chopper and saw that a situation that was present the last time that I was at the Price Chopper hadn't ameliorated. I knew that the purchases that I make on my food stamps card get tracked by a lot of people who shouldn't be looking at or doing anything with that information. Since last month, I've often bought hummus and bagged carrots with food stamps; food stamps are carried on a card that works like a debit card. The last time I was at Price Chopper before today, I saw that the hummus had a new, large, cardboard display for a different product by the same company that makes the hummus I'd been buying. The display says "Fresh" on it. Also, the carrots I'd been used to buying with the hummus have been replaced by little, plastic boxes of "Fresh" celery sticks.
My ONLY OTHER OPTION for bagged carrots were various packages of "Green Giant Baby Carrots." There were a few different versions, one that was something such as "Green Giant Baby Carrot Supremes." I finally went with "Green Giant Baby Cut Carrots."
The store has big, yellow "Caution: Wet Floor" signs everywhere that there is no wet floor, and it's been that way for weeks. There is a display of "Cream Cakes" in the front entrance. The display of Pepsi near the front entrance has an add-on of a display of Doritos, Doritos being something that was paired with Pepsi in some serious harassment/execution issues last year. There are displays of paper towels and toilet paper in the aisles and on the endcaps.
I'm sure that there's more harassment than that on display, but I tried not to look around the Price Chopper too much today because if I look at too much of all of that I quickly reach my limit for what my temper can tolerate in a day.
I thought about buying bagel chips to go with my hummus, but I didn't want bagel chips. What I want is for people to stop tracking, publicizing and making stocking decisions based on what I buy.
I saw the "Wise" ad behind the batter for one of the recent televised baseball games. The Wise potato chips I had just bought were the best I could do on the day I bought them, given the tiny amount I had left on my food stamps card at the time. I figured I couldn't buy enough healthy food to make it worth the purchase, because I hadn't done enough planning for the food stamps at the beginning of the month, so I would just get something I wanted. The potato chips had a $2.00 sticker over what a picture of what looked like it might have been a waterfall on the front of the bag. I did feel that the chips were the best I could do for price and packaging. For example, the bag didn't the word "Wavy" on it anywhere, or any other announcements or indicators of being the kind of potato chips that under ordinary circumstances I would have bought without a second thought.
It's nice if the people who were running the ads for that baseball game think that I'm occasionally wise, but nobody should be tracking and/or publishing my food stamps purchases, or making any decisions or taking any inferences from what I buy electronically.
It's a serious invasion of privacy.
@ 7:02 p.m.
--Either it's dust or I have a bad cold
There's a lot of dust around town at the moment; either that's getting to me or I'm getting a cold, because I've been coughing a lot in the past few days. I'm saying that now because I can't always go in another room or outside when I need to cough, and since coughing is now becoming something that people do to insinuate ugly things about other people, I'm saying that I have been coughing a lot lately and can't help it.
--More safety issues at the shelter
I think that I've been noticing some male residents who might not be interested in seeing me get hurt warning other male residents who might be interested in seeing me get hurt not to do it.
What happens if they get into fights? Someone or all of them will get kicked out, and nobody should be getting encouraged to harass me in the first place, so how is that fair to any of them?
What if I then get threatened by the management with getting kicked out for supposedly being a source of conflict, when I never asked anyone either to harass me or to defend me? I'm trying to get through my day every day, that's all.
I will say again, that there is nothing good or worthwhile about the campaigns to degrade women and everything else; they are, one and all, destructive.
--Friendster
I've been looking at one of the photo albums on one of my Friendster pages, the one that says "Carla Bruni gives her support to pedophilia." That album is locked, which of course doesn't mean anything to anyone who has the technology to see it despite any privacy settings I might have put on anything on the Internet.
That album also doesn't have pictures in it that I had taken of ads along the side of a Carla Bruni Google blog post that had something like a baby and a whale together; there were other things similar to that. I haven't done anything new on Friendster since last fall. The last time I did anything with them had to have been in November of 2010 at the latest, and I do remember that at that time I was starting to go through those profiles and delete pictures from them.
I might just delete or rename the album; it does show that Ms. Bruni had submitted to what Mrs. Obama's demands as represented by the White House staff creating Google blog posts for the name "Michelle Obama" seemed to have been.
OK, I've just done that; I've changed the name of that photo album to "Carla Bruni submits."
--Vermont Public Radio
Vermont Public Radio has at least 3 different articles about the flood in Barre. One of its prominently displayed articles is about the Times Argus, and how the Times Argus is continuing to publish even though it was affected by the flood.
I'm telling you, that I live right next to the river, and we were all out of the house FOR ONE NIGHT, AND ONE NIGHT ONLY. The river winds it way through town, and I LIVE RIGHT NEXT TO IT. Yeah, there was a lot of water, and I'm sure that some peopled did suffer serious property damage; in fact, I know that some people did. But right now, there's so much dust around town that I'm wheezing because of it, and there hasn't been another night when the residents of this shelter had to leave the shelter.
Is this getting through? I. Live. Right. Next. To. The. River. That Flooded. Here. It goes house, house, river, house, house etc.. The river is my neighbor, and everybody who lives in this house only had to leave the house for one night.
If there are people and businesses who need money and help because of what happened, please, just give it to them, and let's move on.
--The Department of Labor
On the first business day that I tried to go back to the state building that is the home of the Department of Labor and other state agencies, there was a sign on the door that said "Closed Due To Flooding."
That building is waaaaaaay up on the hill. What's more, the display in the lobby and everything else about the building seemed in exactly the same condition it had been in before the flood. There is a lower floor to that building, but it's still in the same building that's waaaaaaay up the hill. The only thing I can think is that there were employees of the place that needed or wanted another day off after Memorial Day.
The same mean woman at the DOL who always tries to get to me is still trying to get to me. I wore sound-blocking ear protection today, all day, in the office, so that I couldn't hear her coughing (she's in month 2 or 3 of it by now) or the comments that other clients or staff might have made or tried to make.
I wonder if she's hoping that her continuing harassment of me, and my continuing reporting of it, will get her promoted or she'll be made famous by it.
The pamphlet called "New Directions for Barre," the one that supports corruption of youth and stoning, replaced the harassing, pedophilic library poster that I had taken off the bulletin board near the printer last week. The "New Directions for Barre" pamphlet appeared the day after I took the gross library poster off the bulletin board.
--I found someone's notebook
This morning, I found a wirebound notebook with a blue cover in my neighborhood, apparently either abandoned or lost on a ledge. I stood there for quite a while, wondering if I should leave it where I found it or not. It looks as if a student left it there.
I took it with me and still have it. Whoever you are, you have 3 days to show up and get it back. You'll need to tell me some of what's written in it, so that I know it's yours.
Otherwise, it has a lot of empty pages left in it, and I've been out of paper for weeks now; I won't cry if you decide that you don't need it back.
--The Rite Aid in Barre vs. the Rite Aid in Montepelier
The other day on my blog, I mentioned that the windows in "Rite Aid" are terrible. It's the display in the windows in the Rite Aid in Montpelier that I was talking about; anyone who lives in Barre who hasn't seen those windows maybe should take a look at them. It's just a wall of pedophilic suggestions; a poster of a girl jumping rope with her legs completely spread wide to the passerby, boxes of "Splash guns" piled up. There's more, but if people living in Barre didn't know what I was talking about, they can go to Montpelier and see that.
There are other store windows that have some suggestions in them; one that has a dry erase marker with "Mr. Paul's classroom" written on it. Would that be a reference to "MRS. Paul's," the frozen fish company?
--Weebly issues?
I'm having some trouble publishing on Weebly. I wonder why that's happening; it's very, very slow.
