the Truth hurts!
well time does fly and a few years ago I would not have believed I would still be among the living and here to do another of my blog-vents.This time my eyes are opened to just how naive I have been in believing that I had found a true Internet "friend" and a twitterer..? I started following a previous BB winner on twitter...on a daily basis.I did not tweet much, but I was enraptured by her. I followed her from a holiday in the Dominican to Belgium and her subsequent marriage to the birth of a baby.I couldn't seem to wait every day to see what she had written each day.....I think she replied to 1 of mine.Then she tweeted that her son (now almost 2) had fallen down the stairs at home. having been a mother myself I tweeted back that perhaps she should put a gate across to prevent it from happening again.She neither replied and even did not put my tweet in the comment section. I am an emotional dodo and I was really devastated where I ended up blocking her. after all the years of almost thinking her as a daughter....it hurt to my soul. so now I am of the opinion that everyone just wants us to see things that make us look good to the world and even though I was trying to be positively helpful,she took it as insulting.
now I cry,because she has also blocked me and I will not be able to see how her precious child is growing up. I can't really blame anyone but myself i guess.

7 Billion and Counting
According to statistics....there are over 7 BILLION souls on Earths surface. This may not interest anyone in particular but when I think of the billions spent trying to find a cure for cancer among other horrible diseases I cant help but wonder why, with all that money and all those people ====NOT one has come even close.
They pretend to give people hope with their disgusting chemo treatments, when the percentage is minimal as to what they call a cure.It does give some hope, but in the end the result is the same........ NO CURE!
In my family alone this disease has hit my mother,daughter=in=law,her mother. my son-in-laws mother and myself-(Twice)among many many cousins and other friends and loved ones.
The first time I was diagnosed I was 36 years old and it was cervical cancer. By some unknown reason I survived for 44 years until it is now colon cancer and I am 80 years old. If I had been (what they say cured) I would not be facing the end of existence from this but maybe something else.
I will let nature takes its course and will not accept any of their so called cures unless some miracle occurs.I have watched too many suffer through chemo and for those who now think they are cured. I hesitate to say... enjoy your life now, for it will be shorter than you think.
I have donated many dollars over the years to this cause for those who have passed on and they request it.I won't be around to see if my money was well spent.....may some higher deity bless you all!

Big Brother recycled!
Its that time of year again for another 12 weeks of the show of horrors.Since I have plans to be away I will be able to avoid the rehashing of what ever takes place this season.
So far, after reading and watching the preview videos, my excitement has not peaked as to who will be back from seasons past. It must be getting harder for the casting department to find enough of the wacky ones who appear for an interview.
I may be guessing....which is probably the case ...that they will bring back 3 couples from past seasons. Surely they cannot be that cruel. Wasn't putting up with Natalie, Rachel, and Jesse enough of a reason to keep the fingers off the "live stream" button. It certainly was for me , so I am more than happy to not be around to be tempted again after 12 seasons of curiousity.
With my life style change, since my stroke Im sure it will not be too difficult.Not only a life style change in habits but a change in family as well. Is double divorce an acceptable phrase? Perhaps eviction is a better tern.If I can handle all this stress that "passeth all understanding" I can certainly do without the 13th season of Big Brother!!

Conundrum big time!
YES...CONUNDRUM.because I am not sure how and what I want to vent about this time. So much has gone down since my last blog, I need to vent but what is worse to vent about .......hospital trip or family split?
In April I had a stroke and really got to see all the inefficiencies I talked about in previous blogs first hand.The only good thing about this trip is that I do applaud the staff of nurses that looked after me.All I will say about the rest is where some people are warned to prepare for disasters like have batteries, radio etc. etc. I would say to prepare for a hospital emergency. make sure you have a container in your freezer of your favorite foods and a tape recorder with instructions for the ambulance driver. The reasoning for this is that if the stroke doesn't kill you....starvation or radiation will!!!Taping would be your proof and a stash of goodies would keep you away from starving.When you did get something edible ...you never got to eat it as they came and took you off for some double ordered test of some kind and on your return, your tray had been removed!!! I spent the first 3 nights on a stretcher, since no beds were available which was an "un"moving experience. If you did move you would have had a broken hip to add to your other troubles.When on a stretcher "do not try to turn over"
On this visit I had no less than 2 more double booked tests, just like last January's
I was blessed that this stroke left with me my "marbles' so I was able to set them straight.But I sure went for a lot of rides around the building.....By the time I left....I was getting private help from the kitchen coming in to take my order!!!!
They couldn't get me out of there fast enough! No wonder people have to wait so long for tests, because they are so busy unnecessarily-doing all the in-patients over and over again.
Perhaps this is enough ranting and leaving this blog to science since after a period of about 50 years I finally stopped smoking!!! Just too bad it took a stroke to do it, but 'dems 'da breaks.
