(Brachmond = Fallow month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) NOTE: Well fuck, she’s in a mood… Plans: ??? AM Prayer: Wodanstac/Wednesday, we pray to Wodan, lighting a blue candle: All-Father God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and opened-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to one of the Great Halls where we may feast, drink and be merry with our heroes and our ancestors until the time comes to live or fight once more. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

Pertho and Eh…yep…got it. Audie to court with her best friend. OMFnGs! Audie had a close call at the courthouse because of her best friend’s soon-to-be-ex. WHEW! Obligatory job search Ya know, Audie is angry and rightfully so. I TRIED to be supportive and was supportive of her anger. When she bypassed her anger and became delusional , that’s where I gave up… Toby for his .5 torturous walk and a Milk-bone treat after. He’s doing VERY WELL off the leash. Washed the Vue Well shit…here we go again…I don’t know how much for of this I can take. Dillons http://www.dillons.com/pharmacy/Pages/order_prescriptions.aspx Rx for Audie’s anxiety Okay, now she’s napping. I’ll get back into my CDL manual. Lucky for me I checked the outside conditions when I did. A storm was right on Wichita’s doorstep. I quickly went outside to take care of a few things. No sooner did I get it done when here comes the storm… It was a nice little storm. I dunno…hail, probably about nickel size, or so…moved the Vue closer to the house since the hail seemed to be coming from the north. It was a good rain for about an hour. JsMrFnChst! There was a bit of a lull, but then the storm came back with a vengeance! Now I’m going to have some debris to clean up in the morning. Finally getting some good telephone conversation with the Liut. We’re calling a business meeting for this Sunday to discuss meeting dates and the ability to include the children. After the business meeting we will have the open meeting.

PM Clarification Rune: none Comments: cared for animals Alaf Sal Fena! (Brachmond = Fallow month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: re-start work on CDL handbook AM Prayer: Ziustac/Tuesday, we pray to Ziu, lighting a purple candle (for honor): Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you.

Outcome: Oh hel yes, I can see that! I’ve contacted the blood-oath sworn members of Rheinwood Nordliut about meeting changes of dates. I think things will work out better if the seasonal celebrations are every couple of months with the open meeting being the first meeting of the month and the closed meeting the second. It can be incorporated into RN’s new beginning and have more permanency. Momma (from across the street) took a fall last night and Audie is spending time over there this morning. Weight-bearing workout Toby for his .5 torturous walk; he’s so funny. For the first two blocks Toby runs like the wind. Once we round the blocks and start heading back he looks and acts like he’s dying. He makes it home dragging his ass.

Whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.

I fashioned a holding stick on the bottom, now I’m ready to go find a flag to put on my father’s grave. Graves look kind of sparse this year. Toby for his .5 torturous walk. I had a GREAT time and my WONDERFUL niece’s for bar-b-que and my first lesson on how to back up a trailer. I took Toy with me and he couldn’t have been better behaved. He had so much fun. The bar-b-que was absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS! After that, my WONDERFUL nephew took me out to show me how to back-up a trailer. First he had me pull the trailer around to get used to the weight of it. Then came the big test. It wasn’t a perfect back-up, but I did put the trailer between gateposts twice and within the opening of the barn door once! For me, that was quite an accomplishment, with another lesson coming up next week. Did I mention how well behaved Toby was? Have I EVER mentioned how proud of him I am? Have I EVER mentioned how much I love that family? Oh yeah, probably so. Toby is completely exhausted from his first visit to Kansas country. With periodic drives to Mt. Hope, yesterday’s drive to out of town graves, and today’s drive out to my niece’s just outside Cheney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheney,_Kansas, I’ve been able to watch the amazing progress of the wheat fields. The early wet spring has turned into a dry late spring; a perfect set-up for the wheat harvest. I’ve watched the wheat go from early green to a sea of marvelous waves of golden grain. Today, I noticed the wheat harvest is underway in south-central Kansas. The car radio spoke of the expected harvest to be all harvests. The farmers are expecting a good return of efforts from the fertile earth from which they directly depend. When I drive, not only have I noticed the golden grain, but I have also noted the lush corn fields with a long way to go, the soybean fields and the occasional fallow field. For some reason, this growing season has me completely mesmerized. Can she and I ever be far enough apart? PM Prayer: Forsizo: As the son of Paltar and Nanda, we call out to you in our time of legal need. You’re the god of justice and reconciliation. We know that justice is a double-edged ax. On the one side, if our argument is right, grant us the proper conclusion. On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, meat-out justice accordingly. Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all! PM Clarification Rune: none Comments: cared for animals Alaf Sal Fena! (Brachmond = Fallow month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: graves, RN open meeting AM Prayer: Sunnastac/Sunday, we pray to Sunna, goddess of the Sun,lighting a yellow candle (symbolic of the Sun): Greetings to you Sunna, in all your feminine, fertile glory, Lamp of Wodan, newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us, and who will yet shine on our decedents yet unborn. Share with us some of your light, your energy, your power, so that we might better fight our battles and attain our goals.

The Reimer grandparents and eldest sister are buried @ Alexanderwohl Church in Goessel https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Alexanderwohl-Mennonite-Church/103916562973326 http://www.alexanderwohl.org/ http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=91911&CScn=alexanderwohl&CScntry=4&CSst=18&CScnty=941& while the Schmidt grandparents http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=schmidt&GSfn=mary&GSiman=1&GScid=92871&GRid=15078971& are buried at the Lehigh Mennonite cemetery http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=92871 in Lehigh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehigh,_Kansas As a kid, I found trips like this to be incommodious but now I relish the chance to once again travel these roads.

I need to add Grandma and Grandpa Reimer and my sister to it; hmmmm, my next project. Prior to coming home I once again made a stop at my family’s graves in town. As luck would have it, my WONDERFUL niece and her family showed up there, too, just as I was getting ready to come home. They invited me to go out to lunch with them which I accepted readily. We had a wonderful meal at El Mexico Café http://www.360wichita.com/Restaurants/Mexican/ElMexicoCafe.html No Rheinwood meeting… Toby bathed; I don’t think he has a flea problem at all, I think it’s allergies. Lazy now… Harry and the Hendersons http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093148/ just for the heluvit.

My WONDERFUL nephew called saying they were in town wanting to come over to meet Toby. I was excited! The call came around noon and I started preparing lunch stuff even though lunch wasn’t discussed. My niece and her mom (my sister-in-law) came inside with my great nephew while my nephew stayed outside with a sleeping baby. Turned out they already had lunch, but I was prepared nonetheless. Toby was a hit! Of course, Toby has been a hit with whomever meets him. A little bit of time inside a little bit of time in the back yard with my great nephew and they were off and running again. Plans were made for me to go over tomorrow for bar-b-que and a trailer lesson. I love these guys. It’s amazing house much space there can be between two people in a two-bedroom bungalow house.

Outcome: Actually, Hagal, Teiwaz, Jera and Gibor and play into the events of this morning. Before the crack-o-fucking-dawn, even before I actually went out to the Haruc for prayers. I wake up and opened Facebook. There a friend speaks of someone else on my friends list who appeared to him to be a Nazi. Going to her page, yes, she’s spouting Nazi shit; which got me thinking. So first thing this morning I make a statement on my Facebook page: “Okay, here’s the rub; generally speaking I accept all Facebook friendship request. I accept anybody for any reason and give them a chance to prove their worth. For that, I have paid the price. Some ass-hat decides to tag me on a racist picture, or someone comes to me asking, “Did you know so-and-so on your friends list is a Nazi” or someone adds me to a racists Facebook group without my permission. This whole shit has to stop. I need to realize no matter what I try, no matter how I present a non-racist, non-hating view of Asatru/Heathenry, there will always be those who just don’t and won’t get it: THERE IS NOTHING IN OUR LORE THAT JUSTIFIES HATE AND BIGOTRY!!! YOUR ONLY JUSTIFICATION IS FORWARDING A HITLERESQUE VIEWPOINT THAT IS ARCHAIC AND HAS BEEN PROVEN A FAILURE…A FAILURE!! So here’s my call: If you’re a racist, a Nazi, a bigot, a white-power supporter, if you hate others for the simple fact that they are non-white, if you even SUPPORT this vileness, then get your fucking ass off my friends list. As your ilk comes to my attention I’m going to take you off anyway. There is no hope for you. I am very proud of MY German heritage, but that DOES NOT mean I’m superior to anybody. Just because I’m white that does not mean I’m superior to anybody. As a Tru Heathen, I fully believe our actions and words speak louder than any skin color. If your actions speak of hate, then, IMO, you are not a Tru Heathen. End of rant.” JEEZ did that start some shit. Mostly it was supportive, but for ONE GUY who went on and on about his hatred of Muslims. He kept pulling passages from the Koran out of context trying to make an argument for ALL MUSLIMS acting a certain way. This dragged on for some time until I started presenting passages from the Havamal that spoke of someone being/acting like a fool, then others did too. Soon enough he not only “unfriended” me he also “blocked” me. As frustrating as this whole conversation was, it was wonderful to have the kind of support that came with it. Toby for his .5 mile walk Yard Yard done to Wîstat…heat of day, break time Off to Dillons http://www.dillons.com/Pages/default.aspx to pick up Memorial Day decorations, but I don’t get the USUAL stuff. I get odd-beat things; like today, I picked up 10 pinwheels and made a trip out to Father’s, Mother’s and Brother’s graves as they are all in the same place at Old Mission Cemetery http://oldmissionmortuary.com/fh/home/home.cfm?fh_id=13376 LOTS MORE online stuff I had a wonderfully enlightening Facebook chat with my McDs buddy. Put up the flag and bunting in honor of Memorial Day/Weekend Some mexicano neighbor to the south decided he wanted to work on his car speakers. He did the same thing last night. Last night I just stood on the porch…watching…he quit soon enough. TONIGHT, however, it seemed to be more emboldened. I walked over to voice my complaint directly. His response, in his broken English, was, “It’s not 10 o’clock”. I wanted to SCREAM, “This isn’t a fucking apartment complex. This is real life. Instead, I assured him I did not want to hear that shit half a block away. Soon enough, he quit. Watered the baby trees and up-side-down tomato plants.

It seems they somehow found some money in my account that hasn’t been used, so they will have my unemployment check in my account (less $21/wk) tomorrow. Tried to help Audie create documents for her debt collecting business, but goddamn WORD wasn’t working properly. I tried to call Microsoft but I can’t understand a Hindi accent. I called back a send time, same Hindi accent, but at least this time I understood the need to have my trial version of WORD removed. I deleted the old, unnecessary program and now WORD is working like a champ. Audie finalized her 1st communication letter. Audie to post office to secure a PO Box. Brother called; it’s REALLY difficult to cooperate with his computer needs the way he tries to explain them but I soon enough talked him thru it. More editing Audie’s stuff so a printer can read it. Back-n-forth to FedEx for copies to help Audie. Once she gets going I’m sure she’ll be fine. I’m doing everything I can to cooperate with her and help her get started. Audie to Momma’s for the evening I heard from my former McDs buddy. Once again her interview was put off. She sure sounded tired.
