No! Wait! Other car!
Today is a perfect example of why we don't let Martin drive or go out on his own very often. Not only is it his no sense of direction skills but also the fact he isn't in his body for long lengths of time.
Martin and I go out together today to run some errands. He wanted to stop off at 7-11. His and Andrew's fav outings were to 7-11. When Andrew would hear that Martin was making a 7-11 run, he'd coming barreling out of his room like a wolf spider saying "I wanna go! Wait for me!"
I decided to wait in the car and let Martin go into 7-11 on his own. No biggie, right?? SO as I am sitting there, I watch as Martin comes out of 7-11 laughing and heads in the the opposite direction of our car! I figured he'd notice that he was going in the wrong direction but nope! I watch as he goes over to a black SUV's passenger side a few cars down. I'm thinking OMG! He's going to get in that car!
Then I see him walk out from behind said black SUV laughing even more! I was LMAO anxiously awaiting what the hell was going through his head as he nearly got into another car that someone was actually sitting in!
He gets in and starts to explain but first saying, "You couldn't have honked?" LOL Now what would have been the fun in that?! :-D He explained that when he laughs, he feels Andrew's energy more and got caught up in it and wasn't paying attention. Well, he must've really been feeling Andrew! And he did!
As he went to reach for the black SUV's door he hears Andrew say, in his best Simon Cowel voice, "Other car Daddy," and then showed him the whole American Idol audition scene as the contestants almost always reached for the wrong door. When Martin realized what he was doing, and that it was NOT me sitting in this car, he hears Andrew say, "Hey, how's it going Daddy?" Well, the 3 of us laughed all the way home! Just like the 5th lil piggy! LOL
IT'S ALL GOOD!

Thank You India
Today's post isn't about my medium husband but about me and my son.
Today I was sitting here on my laptop doing the usual, Facebook, Farmville on FB, reading posts on FB, making announcements on FB about upcoming concert and Light The Night Walk, when my nephew Mark IMs me. He was setting his mother, my sis in law, up on Facebook so she too can have no life other than a cyber one.
I asked about a profile pic of her but Mark said he was waiting on my other nephew Patrick, (Irish in laws, so there’s a helluva lot of them) to accept his mother’s friend request to access his photoies. I told him I had Patrick’s graduation pics and to look there. As I was guiding him on where to look, I got caught up in looking at Andrew’s pics.
As I was promoting the Light The Night Walk and Int’l It’s All Good Day, I would wonder about Andrew and what he was doing, then a song would come on the tv music station that reminded me of him. Like ‘Viva La Vida’,(after he crossed) and ‘Chasing Cars.’ (while we were in hospital) I guess he was letting me know that he was right there with me.
So as I was perusing Muck’s photoies, missing him beyond belief, last week was a rough one. I still get overwhelmed with everything I have to deal with and it eventually gets the better of me and I succumb to the grief and stress. Anyway, as I was looking at the pics of my Muck, a song comes on the tv music station that I didn’t really pay attention to, until…until I hear, “She’s got no gagina! She’s got no gagina!” I started LMAO then something else happens. As I am looking thru Muck’s pics it skips one and it goes to the next one of Muck with his big grin standing with his PICU nurse Julie. He wanted to make sure I knew he was laughing right there with me. So there I sat laughing and crying with my Muck.
You see, when Andrew was about 4yo he saw the Alanis Morrisette music video of “Thank U” where she’s walking down a busy city street, NY perhaps, wearing no clothes and has no “gagina.” Andrew pointed that out. It was soooo funny! He reminded me of that today. Man! I miss my Muck!
IT’S ALL GOOD!

Git Along Lil Doggie
My now 12 lbs, (note to self, put Merlin on a diet) co-dependent, long haired, black and tan dapple, wiener dog Merlin, likes to get his vitamin D in the morning by sitting in the sun on the back patio. He does his usual scoping out the patio area around the pool/frog pond. He lets the lizards know who's boss out there. When he's done, and he feels his work is done for a while, he barks to come inside.
Martin went outside the other day while Merlin was still doing his morning thing to notice Merlin in quite a state! His ears were pulled back like they were pinned to his head and Merlin was looking behind himself barkin. Merlin had yellow petals from the tree that sheds onto out patio all over him. Martin thought it was odd to see him trying to look at his back barking, he doesn't chase his tail. That's when Martin heard "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!" He tunes in to see a pixie and a brownie riding Merlin with his ears being the reigns! To them Merlin is like a horse, not a small wiener dog. LOL
Martin couldn't help but laugh at what they had done to Merlin. The Fae love messin around with animals. I have to admit, it's kinda fun to watch even if you can't see the Fae, you see the result and it's pretty funny. A friend of ours told us years ago about how the Fae mess with his St Bernard. He'd go barking into the bushes and come out with faeries hanging from his whiskers! LMAO!
Martin eventually told the pixie and brownie, "Get back in the yard!" They did and he fixed Merlin's ears and brushed the yellow petals off him before he let Merlin inside.
Most people are unaware of the Elementals in their yard, but make no mistake, they are there! It makes life more interesting when you acknowledge and work with them. Watch your cat or dog the next time they are in the yard and appear to be barking at "nothing." That's a good time to practice seeing what is really going on with them and getting to know your unseen 'neighbors'. ;-)

Muck The Mechanic
When it's slow around here on stories, I go to my blog on healive.org and get stories from there. This is one of those times. Ok, a lot of the past posts I've done that. Martin is busy working on getting Andrew's service up on the web and is busy with that. He doesn't tell me all the interaction he has with Andrew, it's so common for him that he doesn't think to tell me everything. *sigh*
Andrew wanted to take Martin out for dinner for Father’s Day. Of course we had to go to Long Horns. It’s been the tradition for many years. Well, nearly 9yrs now. Elatia always works on holidays so we go there when we are going out.
We get in the car and it starts, then dies, starts, then dies, starts, then dies, you get the picture. It was running great yesterday when we went to and from Brandon which is close to 70 miles one way. I have a 2001 Lexus RX300 that I got for my 40th b-day. The kids helped me pick it out, and it just plain kicks ass! It is such a great car, still rides like a dream and has never left me stranded, well, except for once at the clown house. Our battery died after 6yrs which is amazing! They usually go after 4yrs apparently. We weren’t driving much while in hospital & we may have left the inside light on which is why the battery gave out.
So we call Jeremy to see if he can give us a ride to Long Horns and we would use Elatia’s car to go home. I go inside to sulk. Martin gets in the car and says “Ok Andrew, I have had a great day & want it to continue, what’s going on with the car?” Martin feels Andrew’s energy move to the back of the car. Martin feels Andrew’s energy go through the exhaust pipe and move through the car to the front under the hood. Then Andrew says “Try it again Daddy.” Martin starts the car and Andrew tells him to keep his foot on the gas then slowly lift his foot off the gas a little at the time. Andrew was using terms Martin uses in his meditation poking fun at him. LMAO! Martin got a chuckle out of it, but then told him to focus! Martin lifted his foot off the gas and it kept running!
Jeremy showed up and the car was still running. Since he was there and could give us ride if need be, we decided to test the car and turned it off. It started up again no probs! The car sounded like it’s ole self and drove like it too! We went and got some fuel injection stuff for the gas. Who knew Muck was a mechanic? :-)
Then when we got to Long Horns, Martin hears a song playing. He was all happy about it. I asked him why he had such a goofy smile on his face. He explained that he asked Andrew for a Neil Young song for a present. It was Martin’s fav Neil Simon song, “Heart Of Gold,” that was playing at Long Horns when we got our seat. It just validated that Andrew was with us to enjoy some steakie goodness too! He’s a good son!

Trivial Pursuits
Martin has an infinity for useless information. So he was on a hunt for some new useless info to fill his pretty lil head with, and also to share, so a googling he did go. I don’t know, is there websites just for useless info? Apparently there is.
So he was looking up on how the word “gun” started being used for weapons. See? Useless information. Not sure why he found the origin of the word gun fascinating enough to look up, but he did. As he starts his hunt, he hears Andrew telling him, “I know Daddy!” Martin said, “oh yea? Tell me then,” half believing him but still googling the info. Andrew continues, “It comes from the African Goddess of war, Gun.” So as Martin goes to ask him “really?” He feels Andrew’s energy disappear which is the equivalent to him running away & hiding! LMAO As I have mentioned before, Andrew would answer questions we’d ask him with such authority when he was here, like he really knew the answer and he’d be totally making it up! Right down to asking him the time. We’d always LOAO when he’d do it because he sounded so confident he knew the answer.
Martin knew Andrew was pulling one of his stunts when he pulled the disappearing act. Much to Martin’s surprise, Andrew was actually correct about one thing, there really is a “Gun,” African Goddess of War, pretty impressive I have to say, but that is not where the use of the word gun came from. I googled it and found this, “This word for a firearm most likely comes from a Scandinavian woman’s name.” “It it has been suggested by Professor W. W. Skeat that it conceals a female name, Gunnilde or Gunhilda.”
It’s weird that Andrew actually had some info right. Usually he’d make the answer ALL up! LOL It’s good to see our Muck still up to his old tricks!
