MOM AND POP VERSUS SUPERMARKET MOM AND POP

Well today we go for the food to shop for food for the (LESBIAN HOUSE DINING)event/action, the first one in THE HOUSE. I told G..... et al that i would met them at the big health food store that they have taken to going to. (I really think that shopping there for them is an 'in thawg'). When we are finished at this store i want to convince them to come with me to this wonderful store run by a huge family of Italians and another one run by a large Vietnamese family. So anyway shopping with them is quite a trip or rather as my mother would say quite a vacation. First we oohed and ahahaed at the variety of organic fresh veggies i was thrown by the prices of some of the veggies,much of them reminded me of growing up with my sisters in a big city where my mother and my father bought with them the same love of farm fresh veggies by growing most of our greens for the table and i don't remember my father making that much money on the extra veggies he sold. I certainly would remember if someone paid him or my family four dollars for 7 leaves of collards. Why we would have been millionaires at that rate. So anyway they wanted the organics so did I but not at those prices, and the first thing they ask me was so where are we going to go to get organically grown veggies? I answered by growing our own. They all look at me as though I had grown another head and almost in unison said yea. What have we learned that causes us to believe that we can not even accomplish the simple? I mean seeds are still in the world, how the hell do they think the collard leaves were grown, and from what? I said to myself another time and I will talk to them about a garden, but not now, besides they are getting hungry and so am I . So we eat here? I don't think i can afford lunch here so how do I deal with this? Maybe a cup of soup and bread ? Wow i know you gotta get the cup with the soup for that price.Maybe a glass of water? O no I have to buy a bottle of it. Is there a faucet in this place or am I out of touch to ask?

THE HOUSE CALLS AGAIN

Well a lot has been happening, we have had no (LESBIAN HOUSE DINING)actions/events yet in THE HOUSE, because we have been working on her to get her looking like i and the other wimmin would like, i can see that some of the wimmin are looking at my friend S.l.. strangely. I've told all of them who come by that she is my friend who was homeless and that she would be living in her tent in the back yard here. No one has made a comment about that. So,THE HOUSE on the inside she will be painted a beautiful Sky Blue with a rose trim in the kitchen and the living room will be painted a Beautiful Rose with sky blue trim, yea right that's the ops paint i was able to find cheaply but quality and colors i like and thought other wimmin would like or at worst get use to.If i don't have enough for the rest of the rooms i will wait until there is some more ops paint what ever color and go from there. I really want to be done with this so that we can get back to our (LESBIAN HOUSE DINING-in wimmin- only-space) actions/events started again i really miss being with the other wimmin and i really really really miss fixing the food for that. I have all of my things settled in THE HOUSE the kitchen needs to be furnished and the frig needs cleaning for food, the cabinet space in the kitchen is really abundant and i like that. G..... came over today and told me that she and some of the other wimmin had decided to buy some foods for the group meetings and wanted me to come along to the store to show them what i thought they should buy, since i did most of the cooking. I thought to myself so how come y'all didn't ask me what i thought of them going to buy food for my house, and as i was thinking this me, alter shows on the scene with, O HERE YOU GO AGAIN WITH YOUR HOUSE. I said to the wimmin i would be happy to go to the store with them tomorrow but not today we agreed. You know i wonder should i not question these little things? am i being picky? OK i am faced with this again where do rights begin? who has them? can they be granted? who grants them? what gives them the right to grant? or who gives them that right? and where did they gain the right? So here i go again, no, never again, to begin . Twas Gertrude S. who said when this you see remember me. YES

THE HOUSE CALLS

Well we all have been so busy making attempts to get THE HOUSE ready for me to live in and to start having( LESBIAN HOUSE DINING-in -wimmin only space)events actions. I want to repaint the inside walls because the stark white makes me think of an institution of some sort. I must ask G..... first because this is her house, i would like to see the walls in a soft blue with an accent of a darker blue, i don't have money for paint so i think i will visit the paint stores in the first in the front to see if they have any oops paint at a cheaper price, then i will visit behind the store to see what they are throwing out, although i want blues i will accept what ever i find cheaply or freely. I want the house to pop, i want her to look alive and be alive some color. Wow me alter said finally you do agree THE HOUSE needs color. Yes she does. So i called G..... and asked about painting the inside she said that was fine she had only one restriction, no black nor red paint, i said no problem. I shall go looking for paint tomorrow i just did not have the nerves to ask her to buy the paint and she did not volunteer. So off to the paint store. You know one womon called and said she would give money for paint but i don't know the voice of my homeless friend keep coming back to me about being obligated or rather becoming obligated, so i think i might need to refuse this offer.
