Cancer

Well another friend has cancer. Am I the only one that thinks there is alot more around now? Is it because there are more tests or is it because we are living longer. I know that we all must take care of ourselves and our families.

I'm Here

I am still around but the mind is giving me fits. My emotions are getting the best of me. My children are not perfect and they can anger me. They are all adults and don't live with me BUT I still want them to do things. When they were young I had a chance to change their actions. I could tell them all how to live but thats wrong. I am no expert. They all have a life and seeing the youngest is 40 where do I get off thinking I can change them.

Attitude Ajustment

I haven't posted because I find myself needing an attitude ajustment. I hope it comes soon because I don't like my mind set right now. My having a "pity party" or an anger just doesn't fit in my blog.

Beta blog

I tried to set up a beta blog and had nothing but trouble. I tried so I could keep in touch with someone who invited me to their new blog. I may try later in week but for now I have had enough frustration.

A little humor

I just feel a need for a little humor tonight.
Ann thought she was the moral watchdog for her church. She would say what she thought loud and long. People were afraid to say anything to her after she talked. She came up to Sam in a crowd and said he was an alcoholic and she had seen his pickup parked outside the town's one bar. Sam looked at her didn't say a word. Turned an walked out of the church while she said everyone knows what you did in there. Later that night Sam parked his pickup in front of Ann's house and walked home.

I Hate Cancer

My friend was taken off of weekly chemo treatments that she has been on for the last year and put on a pill. The chemo wasn't making a difference so we will see how she does on this pill. While sitting in the waiting room at cancer clinic I saw another friend from work. She said she was doing good. I didnt know she had it. Tonight I received a call from someone I know and they might have it. Makes you wonder.

Worry Wort

Well I had my long awaited appointment with the doctor. I am quite pleased with the results and most of my worries are put to rest. I just have to get the results from the mammo. I didn't drop any of my pills but he didn't add any since I said I would go with Tylenol. If a spell happens again I am to let him know but he feels they can be prevented with me doing things he told me.

Politics

TV ads,mail ads and now Voice Mail ads. I will be so happy when election day has come and gone. All the money spent could really do some good. I wish they would limit the time spent on running for office. Lets get back to people going out and meeting people and explaining your views. Thiscountry isn't better now with all the long campaigns.

Road work

I have gotten to drive this week at request of people that weren't feeling well. My friend with cancer wanted to get out of the house so I said fine. We went for a color tour checking all the trees and Lake Michigan. We went in the UP of Michigan and the northern part of Wisconsin. We did a couple hundred miles. When I came home my neighbor came over and I ended going up to get a prescription filled for her. Today my friend (believe or not another one) called and asked if I could take her up to see a doctor. This trip took four hours.
I was available nothing in my home was as important as their requests. I am so thankful that I can do this. I feel that if you can help someone you should. God has given me this as a mission. If you know some one needs a hand offer yours.
God will bless you for it.
Sometimes people need more than your prayers. Mentioning their name while you pray is right but sometimes it needs to be folowed up with help from you. God can answer prayer but he uses you to drive a car or get something at a store.

Says it all. And its there for the asking.

Ads

Well one station has answered my e mail. He reminded me of the law that makes stations accept ads. He said if it was a lie they don't have to run them but he says they are grossly exagerated and not lies. This is so sad.

Negative ads

I contacted two TV stations that put that trash into my home and ask why a station didn't have the courage to say NO and stop running those types of ads.

Who did what?

I love this country but right now I am so disgusted with the negative ads. Spin is one thing, but this is going beyond spin.
We want people to vote and I think we should. All these negative ads turn the people off and the constant repeating of the charges is just stupid. Regardless how many times you say blue is black it is blue. The money being spent on all this junk would really be able to help this state and this nation. I have lost respect for the people running and I am so glad I will have the pleasure of not meeting them.

Good situation

Saturday was open book day so people could see what the assesor had the value of their house and complain if they thought there was an error. I went because I really thought there was a mistake. I told him the areas of concern I had. I won some and lost some but my taxes should be less. Who says God doesn't provide- God gave me the words and kept me in the right spirit while we talked.

Nasty situation

While my son was hooking up my DSL he said tomorrow I am going to dig up the septic tank. {Surprise suprise} He knew that I wanted it pumped before winter so it was this weekend. I called and they pumped it on Sunday so myson could cover it up again before he drove home. His wife came out and helped fill the hole. They had brought up shovels on friday night.
See why I say sons are nice.

DSL or Peddle to the metal

Well my son John hooked up my DSL last night. I can not believe how fast it is compared to dial-up. I better remember to keep the brain in gear when I touch the keyboard. He and his wife drove over 200 mles after work to do this for me. The day was rainy and foggy so I started to think they would change there plans. Some of the trees have changed but the true beauty isnt here yet. We maybe able to see some color but when it is in full color I have a few spots I like to go to and just sit.
I suppose I should have made this two posts since it goes fast now. But I didn't. Besides the computer goes fast but that doesn't change my typing speed.

Cold

This morning I had to scrape the windows of my car. My car was covered with ice. The calender says the last day of summer.YA SURE! Tonight might be colder but I won't have to get out early as today. Life goes on.

TOO COLD

Tai went out yesterday when a friend was leaving my house. She will sneak out and go directly under the porch. Tai would usually come back in about 20 min. Not yesterday within 5 when I went out to call her in she ran up the steps to the door.
I sure hope the cold will keep her in and I won't have to deal with my sneaky cat. The worse is when it is dark out, with no out side light the only thing you see are her eyes.

It is 42 now so by morning the tomatoes on the porch may be finished. The flowers may get it to. Every thing in its season,but such a short season.

DIL

I have two DILs which I didn't mean to slight.

My Boys

My other son's didnot forget me. One son e mailed me a few minutes after midnight so he was first (if I had seen it) with a greeting. My other son sent me an e-mail card and later called me. The other son had to call me twice because I was gone.
I LOVE MY SONS!!!! They give me reason to live. BILL,BOB,JOHN,&GEORGE Thank You
