THE DAY THE ANIMALS CRIED
written by Evelyn244

Did you hear? Asked the elephant
Raising her trunk to trumpet the news
Hes left us, hes gone, this is not a ruse
The wolves howled a long mournful report
It cannot be, where is our Aussie sport?
The lions and leopards looked on in disbelief
Can this be true? They roared in anguished grief
The seals and polar bears hung their heads in sorrow
Wondering who would be their voice tomorrow
The penguins and the whales stopped in their play
And asked, what has happened on this earth today?
The reptiles tongues sensed the pain all around
And lay still on the earth as if spellbound
The porpoises and turtles rose in the sea
To ask the other creatures how could this be?
The kangaroos and the wallabies stood still in fear
Our warrior, our champion is no longer here?
The koalas huddled together in their trees
Wondering if tomorrow they still would be free
The crocodiles tears flowed freely like rain
Confirming the truth and showing their pain
This man, this human, this creature, our friend
Someone who loved us, and on whom we depend
Who showed the world, were all worthy of love
Has slipped from this earthly realm and ascended above.

To the Irwins, Wes, and the Australian Zoo family
The ones who will miss him the most, are those creatures
Who cannot speak for themselves.

Screw This Shite!

I'm going to start my OWN business...instead of dealing with everyone else's crappiness! (or get a franchise)

GiGi is like Dr. Jekyll & MRS. Hyde. Sometimes she likes me, sometimes not. This parrot stuff is for the birds (hehehe...lame, i know...whatEVER). She crawled out of her cage and back in on her own...oh, and she LOVES chicken...kinda creepy, huh?

Crap Money

I'm sad. Maybe depressed. I hate this feeling. Not sure how to get it gone. I do not like my job, where I live and I miss all of my friends.

I started spinning yesterday. I can actually walk today. It's my new favorite class.

I really hate Baton Rouge. I want to kiss it goodbye. There's not a whole lot keeping us here...except the need for MONEY. I hate money. I hate the lack of it.

Blah blah blah and more blah.

Our new baby! gigi

We have a new addition, her name is "GiGi". She's a Maximilian Pionus Parrot aka "Scaly-Headed Parrot". I'm sad, though, because she has apparently favored Mike over me. If I put my hand in her cage, she tries to bite me, but if Mike does, she'll bow her head for a petting. I bought two books to learn the proper care and about what type of behavior to expect, but I've never ever had a bird before and I get so nervous. I EXPECT them to bite...which probably plays a role in it. Mike's experienced around birds and exudes confidence. She gets so excited just hearing his voice in the next room. ***He does have that effect*** We aren't 100% that she's female without DNA testing, but were told that it is strongly "believed" that she is...sooooooooooo...I just call her "she". We had to buy doors to close in our dining area so she could have a cat-free room. I don't even want to see that scenario unfold...we have predators and their favorite prey living under the same roof...YIKES!

Schultz Family Crest

Schultz Family Crest
For years I've been poking around trying to find any sign of this "ghost" of a father who participated in my creation. The one person who can tell me anything is completely disinterested in seeking him out. It's not her problem whatsoever in her mind. So I poke and I half-ass search...if he was somewhat interested in being found I'd probably have picked up SOMETHING after all of these years on the internet. For now, I only have our mutual last name with no leads...It's that whole needle in the haystack...



Schultz Family Crest


Schultz


Origin Displayed: German

Origins Available: German, Dutch

The name Schultz comes from one of those ancient dukedoms, territories and states that would eventually form a part of present day Germany. At its birth in the Middle Ages, it was used to indicate someone who worked as a town-mayor derived from the medieval name "Schultheis" which has the same meaning.

Spelling variations include: Schultz, Schultheis, Schultes, Schultz, Schultze, Schulz, Scholz and many more.

First found in Switzerland, where branches of this estimable family were elevated to the ranks of the nobility and came to possess great political influence.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Esther Susanna Schultheis, who came to America with her five children in 1709. The first bearer of the variation "Schultz" to arrive was Anna Elizabeth Schultz, who came to New York City in 1710. Other Schultz members arrived in Philadelphia after 1725.
