The Policia
Oh don t think my brothers don t stick up for me.

Right now, my mom knows that Smokey is my hero for his ability to handle things wiht grace and with dignity.

My brother, Smokey, once told a principal about a teacher who was the meanest teacher in Scales Mound, "We were taught to think" as he defended me against her abuse.

I was in 5th grade and I knew intuitively at the time that Patty Hearst was brain washed.

And my oldest brother gave me writing gifts since i can remember.

And my younger brother well i am giving him a break on my Catholic Church so he can move freely without worry; i told my mom that last month. I love my younger brother.

My brother, Patrick, we have always had great discussions. But he too gets annoyed with me. I was focused on taking care of mom in the airplane and i jumped up to get our luggage cuz i was probably coming down with something and i knew i was responsible for mom and me.

So the stewardess came to tell me sit down as did Patrick and Patrick went onto lecture me, "Terri, if you do that everybody else will do that."

I said, "I am neither offended nor embarassed that I was told to sit down."

I couldn t believe how serious he was with me.

He was sweet too. I am at the Border of Colombia and i wasn t going to put this here because i have a former boss who exaggerates and talks about me to people and he reads here so I thought he would put use his drama on me because he hates that I spoke up for the powerless.

And well, anyway, I was checking at the desk in Colombia about my motehr and i heard my name and i said, "I am Teresa Doyle."

She said, "The policia want to see you."

And well, I asked, "For what?"

She shook her head.

AFter being stalked for years by these goons that are not into finding truth but are into my demise i wondered, "Oh, did they do something."

I told myself, "You are going to be calm because if something happens patrick will call the people we were with to get you out."

So i went to tell Patrick and the rest. And he said, "For what?"

I said, "To search my suitcase."

Well, he saw that there were 6 other suitcases and he said, "Terri if yours was the only one I'd be worried."

I started coughing over a tight throat not a cold and this man stood up to leave except i wasn t sick and Patrick and I started laughing.

So I went up and patrick came up to the Policia and he told her Spanish that i was scared and she told him that I didn t have to be. So he told me. And it all worked out it was just that I had two empty suitcases (that had carried wedding presents to Colombia) packed in my big suitcase so they checked it.

And well after it was over Patrick said, "Terri don t ever smuggle anything."

I said< "I would never."

But that is what this stalking has done. I was prepared to be screwed over at the border.

Now, some of you will hear dramatic calls from that former boss who can t quit talking about me.
