About

I’m a bipolar who has looked high and low and tried all kinds of so-called cures.

I have found that nothing is better than a really, good belly-laugh!!!!!!

Hobbies: Shopping, hoarding the purchase, shopping again. Trying to rid my life of clutter of all the stuff that I bought which I have not been successful with just yet.

I love collecting weird things. which would explain why I married my husband and have the friends that I do.

My biggest goal in life is capture 40 wild beavers, put them in an above the ground swimming pool, and throw in some logs. Then, I will coach them on how to carve me out some big wooden Indians like at the cigar store. Then, I’ll sell them and be RICH RICH RICH!  My alternative plan is to sell beaver pelts.

Either that, or marry Chuck Norris and watch him beat the crap out of everybody.

    Isn’t sheer panic and terror invigorating? Bats are just so good at avoiding getting caught, all that radar and shit.
    They always travel in pairs you know.

    Now, thanks a hellova lot, Mark. I guess you know that I will be hiding under my bed tonight.

    Hmm… The Chuck Norris idea seems to be the best. However, the guy’s 68 now. I know he is Chuck Norris, but you suppose he can still take on… say 300 people at a go?

    Would you revise to a younger bash-em-up hubby, or would you stick with Chuck?

    Remember, younger bash-em-up hubby probably comes with computer aided special effects…
    :D

  10. trailerparkbarbie February 20, 2008 at 5:17 pm #

    hammy….don’t ya know that Chuck Norris is immortal? AND, he has super senses. So, be very careful when you talk about him.

    BTW…I acutally know somebody named Hammy.

    Hey, I just discovered your site and laughed and said, “Hey, this girl ripped me off.” But then when I saw you’ve been on here for a year, well, now I’m afraid your going to think that about me! Us white trash gotta stick together!!!

  12. trailerparkbarbie February 21, 2008 at 3:54 am #

    Do you have a blog? I tried to find it. Drop the link here so we (me and the voices) can drop by.

  13. Gabriel... February 21, 2008 at 10:05 am #

    The place looks great TPB.

    Thanks, G. However, I’m still ignorant on how to do so much tech stuff. And, I’m gonna have to start proof-reading. I have an awful habit of never proof-reading anything. That goes back to even grade school. I think it’s because my mind races so fast that I NEED to get the stuff out and written before I’m on to something else.

    Thanks for the link. I’m gonna go pay gg a visit.

    And, who knows….I might surprise you by dropping in, too.

  15. Gabriel... February 27, 2008 at 8:04 pm #

    TAG… you’re it TPB. I was tagged with a meme about books by Clare (clarelmartin.wordpress.com), I thought it was interesting and part of it was I tag five other people… so TAG, no tag backs.

  16. trailerparkbarbie February 27, 2008 at 10:12 pm #

    Gabe…every time I look at your pic, I think it looks like a big mis-colored nipple. What is it?

    Gotta figure out who to tag now.

  17. Gabriel... February 28, 2008 at 4:41 pm #

    I was actually thinking about changing it soon… it’s a plastic/rubber ball. I was at a friends place and they have two kids so I was playing with the toys. In the larger version you can just make out my friends sitting on the couch… it’s so bright, and they’re so dark, because I was using my flash. I love that it looks so close to being totally obscene… it’s definitely the brightest avatar I’ve seen.

    really nice blog.. and we have the same theme too! but anyways, keep blogging cos its nice to see life at the other end of the tunnel.. cheers!

  19. TXRedneckgrl April 3, 2008 at 9:12 pm #

    TPB,
    I am enjoying your blog, you are so funny! You need to write a book!

    I’m not bipolar but do have an addictive personality so I can relate to some of your posts. I also suffer from anxiety attacks and depression, aren’t our brains fun???

    Going back to read June now :)

  20. trailerparkbarbie April 5, 2008 at 2:47 am #

    TXRedneckgrl…..Thanks!!!!

    Look everybody…..I finally have somebody who wants to read my stuff. OMG! My first reader that I didn’t have to bribe! I’m so excited that I ’bout to get a case of the vapors!!!

    Come back, come back, TX!

  21. tragicallyunhip April 8, 2008 at 10:48 am #

    I’m pretty new on wordpress… how do I subsribe to this blog?

  22. trailerparkbarbie April 8, 2008 at 1:08 pm #

    tragic…first, thanks! I’m glad you like this blog.
    Actually, I’m knda dumb about tech stuff.
    I know that if you have a blog, you look in the upper right corner and hit the “blog info” button. It will give you several options including subscribing.

    I really need to do some more research on tech stuff about blogging. I just get on here and write instead of TCB over stuff.

    OK…my assignment for today is to figure out how to answer questions like this.

    Ya see…I’m WTWM, not WTWB (white trash with brains).

    Hope to see you here again.

  23. tragicallyunhip April 8, 2008 at 1:19 pm #

    I’m loving it. I’ll be back.

  24. trailerparkbarbie April 8, 2008 at 1:21 pm #

    YEAH!!!!

    2 loyal readers. Your $1 will be in the mail shortly!

  25. tragicallyunhip April 8, 2008 at 1:32 pm #

    Woohoo!

  26. Gabriel... April 8, 2008 at 3:11 pm #

    My cheque better be in the mail… in the bluebar at the top right-hand side of your page (if you’re a WordPress member and logged in) there’s a drop menu called Blog Info, click on “Add To Blogroll” and Trailer Park Barbie link will appear in your sidebar under “Blogroll”…

  27. trailerparkbarbie April 8, 2008 at 4:00 pm #

    Gabe…out of cash right now. Will you accept food stamps?

    Thanks for clarifying what I was trying to say.

  28. Gabriel... April 8, 2008 at 7:25 pm #

    I’d accept regular stamps right now, there must be some calories in the glue.

    You had it right… that’s how to subscribe to a blog. I just thought he might like to Blogroll you as well because you’re very blogrollable.

  29. trailerparkbarbie April 8, 2008 at 7:42 pm #

    Oooh…I’m blushing. I’ve never been called “blogrollable” before. You’re so naughty!

  30. dixiegrrl13 May 22, 2008 at 3:25 am #

    i might be in love with you.

    hopefully tomorrow i will remember to look you up and see if you are as funny, when i’m sober.

    betcha will be.

    thanks for the smile.

  31. trailerparkbarbie May 22, 2008 at 1:19 pm #

    No! No! Dixie……hard drinking is a requirement in finding me funny. Have a couple then come back and read.

  32. babyboomerqueen June 4, 2008 at 2:05 pm #

    What a great lifes ambition…but don’t you have to feel wild beavers???

    What do they eat…? In comes the fish issues…do they eat fish????
    What size and on throwing them in the above ground pool would you have to keep small children away from the pool???

    That all sounds like to much WORK!

    Secondly, the carved Indians…girl I can see all of the politically correct people waiting to come out of their closets on this one! HOLY CRAP!
    Quick shut the door and wedge a chair under it coz girl you are “a Fix’en to get attacked!” LOL

    And thirdly…JEZOOOOO girl…you are fix’n to get blood or red paint throw all over that pretty double wide…it will look like St.Valentine’s Day Massacure. I can see the neighbors now…even though they are probably used to your going’s on’s, over there, This will be too much for them to bear and the police will be called thinking you have gone into a bipolar frenzie and killed your kids, husband and the damn dog.

    I do think we need to talk…let’s blog roll.

    “I love collecting weird things. which would explain why I married my husband and have the friends that I do.”

    BAhahahahahaha! Love it!
    I actually married a Chuck lookalike. Really, see? http://todaysmusings.wordpress.com/about/

    You can borrow him if you like. He’s a great cook and does vehicle maintenance and lawn care, but he still does pia man-stuff on occasion. You’ve been warned.

  34. trailerparkbarbie June 10, 2008 at 4:07 pm #

    How ’bout a husband swap? Mine will measure everything in your house and make sure it is in within 1/16″ of where he thinks it should be.

  35. K. Trainor June 10, 2008 at 10:32 pm #

    Mmmmm…..no. Thanks anyway. He’d go insane in my none-too-organized-and-always-off-kilter home.

    Loved the Chuck-isms you left on my blog! :D

    woo hoo!!

  37. trailerparkbarbie June 20, 2008 at 3:33 am #

    It could probably be higher if I had any clue as to how to promote it. I’m tech stupid when it comes to that.

    Thanks, VV!
    FYI…got that crazy, jumping dog neutered today hoping it would calm him down. Believe it or not, he’s jumping even with his nuts freshly cut!

  38. The Vinyl Villager June 20, 2008 at 3:46 am #

    I think you need to blog on the dog (include pics!)

  39. trailerparkbarbie June 20, 2008 at 2:16 pm #

    I’m gonna have to do as soon as I take pics.

  40. mynahbird July 5, 2008 at 2:20 am #

    a good laugh sure is a good cure :)
    even a smile is, when you’re at minus 15…
    thank you :)

    Sorry, BBQ. I was distracted by the wild beavers and red paint being thrown.

    I’ll change it right now!

  44. Angel4711 October 23, 2008 at 7:39 am #

    I have already contacted wordpress.com, but I am also asking you directly to remove a picture of me that you’ve posted on your blog without my permission. It is on this link: http://trailerparkbarbie.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/ and it talks about “Gorgotha” and “Dawn” and “Scraps.” This picture is copyrigthed by Olan Mills, also, so it is being used ilegally and if it isn’t removed, legal action will be taken. Furthermore, you mentioned in that blog that these pictures came from an email. If you still have that email, I’d appreciate you forwarding it to me so that I can find out who sent it out so that I can find out who violated my privacy in the first place.

  45. The Vinyl Villager October 24, 2008 at 12:31 am #

    aww Angel, nothing to be embarassed about. We’ve all had hideous pictures taken in the past. That picture is all over the web…which one are you–Gorgotha, Dawn, or Scraps?

  46. Gabriel... October 24, 2008 at 12:52 am #

    What legal action could you possibly take, Angel? Asking people to take down copyrighted material is great but threatening them with bullshit is just stupid. Just because you’re in one of the photos doesn’t mean you own the copyright, Olan Mills does. Only the owner of the copyright can be asking for the copyright to be upheld.

    The person “who violated your privacy in the first place” was actually you, Angel, when you agreed to let Mr. Mills take your photo. Did you check the contract? In that contract, if it exists, was there anything in it preventing Mr. Mills from uploading your photo to the Internet and making it public domain?

    Doubt it… you could have asked nicely Angel. If it were me, and you had asked nicely, I’d have taken it down. If you had dumped this bullshit on my site I’d have your photo blown-up and on every post I wrote from here on.

  47. The Vinyl Villager October 24, 2008 at 1:23 am #

    Gabriel, if you google the “Gorgotha” “Dawn” and “Scraps” you’ll find dear Angel is as prolific on the interwebs as Pamela Andersons boobies. Her make believe lawyer is gonna be awful busy!

  48. Gabriel... December 25, 2008 at 7:26 am #

    Merry Christmas TPB, and all the best in the new year.

  49. trailerparkbarbie December 27, 2008 at 4:16 pm #

    Gabe…how on earth did you know that I was thinking about you? Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

    Trailerpark Barbie is a wonderful mother. She has put up with a lot of stuff throughout the years. She is one talented lady that I admire, respect and love. Nothing like your momma. Never ever….

    • trailerparkbarbie February 9, 2009 at 11:18 pm #

      And, that, my dear readers is TrailerParkMidge’s comment. She is probably a tad bit partial.

      PS TPMidge….I love the fact that you came here and left a comment. Love you, too!!!

    Ban Stan???? Ban Stan, my fan? Stan, my man fan? No plan to ban my man fan, Stan!!!!!

    Now how can I ban somebody who’s name rhymes wtih so many words?

    Besides, he’s the best darn friends without benefits EVER!

  53. Wicked Gypsy October 17, 2009 at 8:37 am #

    I just stumbled across your blog when i was sitting here reading all those crafty shabby chic blogs from women that have happy marriges well behaved children loving husbands a fruitful businesses and have just got back from the bahamas or just spent spring in Florida!! I was reading blog after blog thinking to myself OMG how can ALL these women be so creative and so beautiful in every picture how do they have time to even take those professional looking photos that they post. Honest to god i was crying sitting here on my own thinking im just so feral i am nothing like them whats wrong with me??? then i found your blog!!! thankyou god! Iread your post about smelly belly buttons and your broken tooth situation…. OMG too funny, ( not the loosing tooth part) :( BUT I dont want to go to bed tonight i just want to sit up and read your are awesome!! thankyou for your down to earth honest and sooooo funny REAL blog I luv u already!

  54. trailerparkbarbie October 17, 2009 at 1:03 pm #

    Welcome, welcome, Wicked Gypsy.
    What I write about my life is the honest, un-edited truth. I’m surrounded by “interesting” people in my life. I use to wish that I could trade families with a “normal” person. But, as I got older, I realized that the only real “normal” that exist is the setting on the washing machine labeled “normal”. And, even though, they are generational welfare, freaks, freeloaders, and some just plain ol’ dumb…I would not trade them. What would I write about?
    And…those other blogs where the perfect woman has the perfect home, perfect husband. perfect childer blahblahblah and just got back from Paris or wherever, most of them are either lying or delusional. Now, THOSE are the CRAZY BIOTCHES! Either that, or real life Stepford Wives (of which I do know a few and they make me wanna puke all over my yardsale Gap sweatshirt).

    Hope you come back. Your comment was one of the best compliments that I have ever received.
    Thanks!!!

  55. rubbertaster November 6, 2009 at 10:12 am #

    Trailerpark Barbie you are just straight up piss funny. I cacked myself when I read your poontang post…and the old bloke…and the smelly bellybutton…Come to Australia and we’ll shoot some roos or some wild pigs or some camels…your choice!

    • trailerparkbarbie November 6, 2009 at 12:30 pm #

      rubbertaster….Send me a plane ticket and I’ll be on my way. I can write another poontang post form the “Bush”. Wouldn’t that be as appropriate as hell?
      Living the WTWM (white trash with money) life that I live provides me lots of true (although crazy) stories. I don’t have to make anything up. This shit actually happens to me.
      Hope you come back again.

  56. ccbebe November 15, 2009 at 8:26 pm #

    This blog is hilarious! Glad I found it, and I’ll definitely be looking forward to more from you in the future.

  57. trailerparkbarbie November 15, 2009 at 9:28 pm #

    Thank you so much for the compliment! Hope you do come back. Sometimes, I wonder anyone reads it. So, it makes me glad to know that someone is reading it.

  58. Wily March 16, 2010 at 3:10 pm #

    You’re a good writer.
    :)

    • trailerparkbarbie March 17, 2010 at 3:40 pm #

      Thank you, Wily. I really appreciate your comment. I don’t think that I am that great of a writer because I cannot practice the basics of writing…..like proofreading, keeping to the point, or any of the other things that good writers do. I write in “vomit style”. Something is inside and has to come out…NOW. Then, I puke it up and it’s out there for anyone to see, step in, or whatever.
      Some day, I would like to be the kind of writer who practices real skills. Till then, I just hope to either educate or entertain.

      • trailerparkbarbie March 17, 2010 at 3:46 pm #

        OMT….Wily, I went to your blog and read some of your posts. I really liked what I read and I love your title….”Sadvertising”. I wanted to leave a comment but could not find a comment link. Do you not want comments? I would like to add you to my blogroll. If that is alright with you, please comment again. Thanks!

  59. Conor May 20, 2010 at 8:39 pm #

    Hello there,

    I was one of the original founders of FreakyJesus, a lazy photography website that I was far too lazy to maintain. I looked it up recently and found a wordpress blog about FreakyJesus, and saw you were there and had commented on it. I don’t even know whose blog it is, but I thought I’d drop you a line to say hi. Did you ever recall what the moment was? The name FreakyJesus comes from a genuinely terrifying statue here in Dublin, by the way.

    If you’re interested, I work on a podcast now about movies and a little pop culture, The Wireless Express show.

    Good luck with every thing there is.

    Hi There – Your blog is crazy & awesome. I’m a reporter for the Beckley Register-Herald and stumbled upon Tales from the Trailerpark as I was researching the 1967 Siltex Mine explosion in Mt. Hope. I would really love to talk to you about your memory of the day. I’m working on an article about the explosion that is shaping up to be pretty interesting. Would you mind shooting me an email or giving me a call? cmoore %at% register-herald.com // 304 // 574 // 6120 or 304 // 255 // 4468. Hope you’ll consider it.

    • trailerparkbarbie July 30, 2011 at 2:46 pm #

      Hi cmoore! or is it Seymore? Are you covering up your real name? Just kidding. I’ll will give this some thought. To be perfectly honest, most people in my life don’t even know that I write a blog. I’m kind of a covert blogger. I made the mistake of telling a few people about my blog and now I can’t write about them! arrrrggghhhhh! I haven’t been writing much lately because I’ve become totally obsessed with photography. You can see my pics on flickr and a lot of them are local photos. I have a few drafts that I need to finish for this blog if I can get my writing muse to put in an appearance here in The Boogerwoods. I was pretty young when Siltex explodes so I only have a few memories of it. Mostly of the worried looks and sadness on the people’s faces. My best memory of it is when we found out that my brother-in-law was not in the explosion. I will ask my sibling what they remember about it when I talk to them (which is not very often) and see if I can capture some of their memories for you. Then, I’ll get back to you. However, I am ADD and tend to have scattered memory so feel free to email me if I don’t. Thanks for your comment. It has prodded me somewhat to finish some drafts for this blog!
