Apparently the local chemists/pharmacies know it as the 100 day cough! It's terrible, it's painful and literally breathtaking! |

Sorry Ron, thats a nine day disadvantage to you. Now then, 9 days at 24 hours per day at 60 minutes per hour....no can't do it, wheres the calculator ! Sorry, its no laughing matter ! |

I know its a fact of life, and we all have to die, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I am sorry to hear of John Wares passing, even if I only knew him through POE. OK, today. Today my husband and I celebrate our 27th meeting anniversary. I have purchased some top of the line New York Steaks, and we will enjoy a special dinner, with strawberries and cream for dessert. Yes, we celebrate the day we met just as much as the day we got married. Of course, we also got engaged the day we met, so another reason to make it a celebration. I think it's going to be a good day .

I'm still trying to figure out what to do for Father's Day besides give my son an new BBQ..that I got on sale last year as an close out that's turned out to big for my back patio. He's been doing most the family dinners since they moved out of here. My daughter in-law said they could really use it right now...it would be nice to have it. I can accept that we all have an "time" to go, we are not immotals as of yet... but unless its peaceful passing and contented passing from extremely pain-free old age...I get an bit miffed also Sue. It seems "sensless" to me. I don't beleive "God" wanted us to suffer in life and be unhappy...at least not from my own near-death expereince. In my 2,000 some year old health book it says that "Cancer" is an by product of unhappiness usually by the subjecting of someone's "spirit" upon them by force...way before the Cancer starts growing physically in the body. As many people say "dis-ease" is exactly that...unhappiness. To go around gaily day in and day out makes me think one is not in touch with true "reailty" also. I tell myself that "balance" is what is needed. In my "lightwork" with others that is what I try to do...get others in an position where they can do things themselves...so they get what THEY want out of life. That is what was explained to me in my near-death expereince as what is the true way to deal with people. It is not simply granting everyone all your posessions, soul, and whatever..it goes far beyond that. To live an life you can look back on and be satisfied with it all...is an gift unto itself. for some of us I think we lay down our lives for others...I know an good many older people, as well as younger onesl do this all the time... and "die" before they were really meant to...it's heart rendering. The greatest tribute you can do for them.. is to make sure that their good works "live" on. Preferably by more then just an statue to look at also. Tha't what i try to do with my genealogy work at times. Put an "personailty" behind the name. I guess that' s why my work at times is never done. It is an beautiful day out there...think I'll go and enjoy it. |
