History of Ashton’s family: Childhood pet Grommit the Pug is the featured Image. My Dad’s second wife raised the dumbest dogs. This one lost an eye because of a health complication, but he was also a dumb dog. She threw him in a cage with a pack of 2 other pugs. Locked them in a kitchen together most of the time. They had become the dumbest feral animals you would ever meet. Scratching me up constantly. Deafening me with their barks. My Dad’s girlfriend Tracy had Cats and Dogs. Other than one cat she had initially with dementia. You didn’t get the same stupidity from Tracy’s pets. Cause Dad’s later life girlfriend was not stupid. Melissa kind of was. Melissa didn’t understand the difference between raising pets and herding them like feral animals.
More on family: http://ashtonderoy.com/2024/02/21/would-i-consider-not-writing-about-my-family-ashton-deroy-explains/ – Would I consider not writing about family? Actually yes it has been considered. Many things will be redacted upon re-publication. For your up front considerations. 1. I am going to allow my image of Matt Clarke to grow beyond a negligent drunk. If he acts like more than a negligent drunk? I can let it go. Not saying we will work together. Just open to changing that perception. 2. The stuff on Kyle. Kyle was selfish, but he is still forming relationships well a lot of people can’t. I may need to re-evaluate. 3. Feelings about my Mom. I need to tell the story of the woman who toots her horn but was never a true Autism mom. Probably couldn’t grasp the concept. I don’t need to put her marriage failing on the internet. Yes she was in a home that ran a deficit , but we did the math a long time before stuff went down. We knew their home was running a deficit. 4 adults on income assistance or pensions? Is always going to get messy. Besides it’s not like I have any money for her to take. I’m Broke. This blog is ending because I am broke.

What is happening with this blog after September 8th.
Meaningful posts:
- Will be converted to Facebook posts – This unfortunately could include short handing content and wildly censoring it. Cause Facebook is terrible.
- Transcribed to Google Docs for use on a future web publication – Largely this will consist of stuff that tells me story. Or maybe condensed versions of things I must remember.
Angry posts that do nothing to serve me?
- Will be deleted. —> It’s not all that complicated. I don’t hold on to hostility forever. If I don’t think it is important to telling my story? I think I am better deleting it.

I created the image above using a Cartoon filter app. That is my hand. Does your event have For-Profit Vendors? Does it use volunteers? Then you will be hearing from us. If your vendors can take a profit? So to can your workers. Youth unemployment is soaring in Belleville Ontario. There is no need to convert paid work to volunteer work as much as we do.
