We try to use soap up until it is gone, sometimes struggling with the little hunk and droppingit and frustrating ourselves to no end?  Why do wewait so long to put a new bar in the shower?  Why do we have to squeeze the toothpaste tube all the way up to the circular top and still try to squeeze more out?  Why we are afraid to change the toilet paper roll when there is just 7 pieces left on it, and like someone is really going to wipe their ass with seven pieces?  Hey this is Ameria, we do not wrap TP around our finger in attempt to clean the hole!  Ever wonder why we save left overs until they mold, never eating them?  Ever wonder why we drive our cars all the way to almost scarey empty before we get more gas, and think, there is a gas station on every corner?  Ever wonder why it seems that no one wants to take responsiblity for their actions and outcome now days?  Ever wonder why we seem to save magazines until the next millenium?  Ever wonder why dogs sniff each others butts?  Ever wonder why cats need to sleep 16 to 18 hours a day when they seem to do nothing anyways?  Ever wonder if people know what it means to lay down their lives for their bretheran any more, if you have wondered this, take time to stop in an airport and thank a vet... They know why!  I onder about all of these and a million other things,  I am thankful that God has made me a wonderer!    

My wife and I have read about global warming and environmental destruction and are doing what we can to help save resources and country.  We have each bought a green car, her a Prius and me the Honda Civic Hybrid.  There is a benefit to owning these cars, they get a ton of miles per gallon, so we are rewarded for driving green, plus they really cut down on emissions!  We are composting this past 1.5 years.  We throw all our old lawn scraps and food into a composter we purchased and then let it make its magic tea and compost and then we put it back into our plants and roses.  We have planted 90 fruit trees on our property to help clean up the air, but also to grow our own fruit and nuts.  We recycle anything and everything we can too (special thanks to my wife here, I reluctantly got on board).  During the past two winters and from here on out we turn off our outside automatic sprinklers and we do not heat the pool.  We have replaced all of our toilets with low flow 1.6gpf models.  We have also replaced all of our lightbulbs with the new high efficiency ones.  We heat the house only to 65 and cool to 79.  We are happy to do our part and help out hoping that our little contribution will help the future generations to come!  

On my previous writings I shared a struggle I am in with my ex dead partner's wife.  Two times this week thru some legal manueverings, she and her attorneys attempted to get at a database of senior citizens that was part of my non profit 501c3 organization.  Both ex-parte's were defeated!  Thank you God!  To me they are attemtping to use the legal system to get at the database of seniors that my non-profit served in attempt to, like a bunch of vultures, to descend upon them and sell them overpriced annuties, with long surrender periods and high commissions that would never be disclosed and such which has already been dealt with here in class action suits against the likes of Amerus and AVIVA insurance companies.  Type in the word "Trust mill and attorney general" in google and you will see the battle I fought from within this very powerful industry.  She cares nothing of the values her husband and I worked under, only greed because she was manipulated by an insurance broker and his cronies. I am still in the process of building a great information website devoted to senior families and protecting them, go see it at www.myestateguide.com   If you ever feel as if someone is taking advantage of you as a senior, give me a call and I will tell it to you straight.  Justice, for now, has been served.  We are preparing a cross complaint and the attorneys I have say a victory should take about a year.  I have promised that once she loses and I am awarded a monetary verdict, I will donate the proceeds to St. Judes Children's hospital Cancer section in memory of my partner who died at least that way some of the money will go to something good and I know that was what he wanted, specifically why we purchased insurnace polices on both our behalves, so our loved ones would have their bills paid off in case we died.  We did not buy insurance to get our spouses rich or to have excess, jsut to clean the table and give them a good start.  I do not believe anyone looks back once they are in heaven... I am saddened by all of this and angry at teh group of guys who manipulated and attempted to swindle my partner and I's dream thru using his wife.  It is detestable to me to say the least and as a human I am extremely hurt.

I mentioned in previous blogs about my up and coming law suit, the first time I have ever been taken to court in my life, by my ex partner who died-- wife.  I have spent the last months in a sort of prison cell with my everything dictated by this impending suit.  I have been called things and attacked like no person on earth should be attacked.  I have been accussed of things I would never do to someone I hate, let alone to a man whom I called a father figure and an older brother's wife.  Yes on 10:30 pm last Friday night of the holiday weekend I got served.  The process server was apologetic of the hour, but said he was told that the suit and ex parte motion had to be there.  I expressed my understanding and said it relates tot he plaintiff and her tactics...  So the counsel I have used over the past seven months is moving on to higher ground, having been tortured by a whacko attorneyon their side and also questioned incessantly by me.  Like most I do not have the highest opinion of attorneys.  Today at 8:30 in the morning an attorney will stand in a court room on my behalf knowing nothing about me except the 30 minutes we spent together and the information he has gleaned from my old attorney.  We will not be in front of the judge I am told we should be in front of, Judge Hunt , as my dead partners wife's attorneys has filed what is called a peremptory challenge under Civil COde of Procedure 170.6 to get him removed because he is the Judge in the know about Business matters and my old attorney tells me he would not even have stood for the case that has been filed.  So we are moved over to Judge Lewis and now my new attorney is filing the same challenge on the words of my old attorney that this juedge is spur of the moment and laxidasical towards cases.  SO, we will end up with who we end up.  Makes a lot of sense, instea of using the judge that is qulaified, we look for a Judge, who in the opinion of attorneys, is not qualified.  All the time I pay for these pleasures!  Before God I have done nothing wrong, yet now must pay my life savings to prove this and in return will receive nothing except that this bereaved woman will go on her way, probably never knowing how much she has hurt me.  Roger would be rolling in his grave to know that his wife was in cahoots with the very man that he said 100 times that he was a sleedzeball and scumbag-- Bryon.   

So finally I am being sued... My partner in business of the past who died, his wife is suing me.  It is very sad, as I know she has been manipulated to the nth degree.  If she even understood basic business she would know the company ALWAYS struggled to even pay its bills, this is evidenced by the tax returns that her husband signed.  I loved this man dearly and never would I have imagined that she would do what she is doing in the name of greed I believe, but it is greed built upon a premise of a few guys who manipulated her because they knew they could (Bryon, Craig and Alan).  The Insurance Broker and fired ex reps., who whispered in her ear (while in the mediterranean on a cruise that I should have been on as the only person working in this strange business marriage) ONLY sought to manipulate her because they knew they could... Telling her stuff such as there are millions of dollars to be made by working that list which belongs to WESI which is comprised of senior citizens who would not even know what hit them if this were to happen.  Her nature is displayed though, it is a nature of greed and not of service, which is surprising given her career choice.  Anyways, there is an ex parte hearing tomorrow and I was given notice 10:30pm on Friday of this holiday weekend and that is considered sufficient.  My blogs from here on out will cover my thoughts and feelings about the betrayal of my personage by my dead best friend's wife.  I am REALLY saddened and disgusted by this all, especially from people who claimed to be my friends and whom I SINCERELY treated as friends, as did my partner who died.  SO many times we went out of our way, not taking paychecks nor paying our responsiblities to help them out with advances, loans and even assisting with buying one of their future wives the diamond ring she would marry and be engaged in (At least this one showed class fast and backed right out of continuing to be used).  I am hurt deeply and feel VERY betrayed, but I believe truth is truth, yet at what cost for me to have my say and produce the evidence of her foolishness.
