Ron, how old is Don anyway?...just wondering. Of course I was around Martha Waterman whom died at 108 years old and when I was around her at 104 years old, she wasn't in bad health...simply she needed someone to watch over her and help her if she needed anything. Had her right mind and everything also. Could walk and go where she wanted pretty much. I don' tknow what happened after I left the nursing home scene. though I know it changed hands twice.

Kyron Horeman is in the scene around here right now again, as his mother Desiree takes his step-mother to court (Stephanie) to try to force her to tell her where he is. I think the whole bunch is hooey in my estimation...they all act "weird" for being concerned...and he's old enough..I think he could do something about it if he were an captive of someone. I "feel" an lo tot of control and power moves going on with this group for some reason..and I am not so sure about Stephanie either mentally.

Well, it gets really hot today...and I may spend it downstairs reading an book maybe...checking on the kids...and hoping they stay out of the heat also. I think thier mother only has an half day today and is free from school classes tomarrow....so maybe she can do something to help them.

Fellas going to put up new rain gutters decided to skip the thunderstorms they forcasted for Saturday and come out Monday instead to put them up. Glad when its all over and things return to normal again...have an good day everyone.

Ron, to both you an Anna I say, "stay strong" It is a tough thing to watch someone you love slowly going down. Stuart and I were with Rose to the end (sadly the other boy Duncan didn't make it in time) and traumatic as it was we remain pleased were there to say a final goodbye and ensure she died in the company of loved ones. I just hope that one day when its my turn I do not go olone or among strangers.

God bless you all.

Hi to you wonderful POE friends.

Shirley, to answer your question Don is 83 years of age.

With all his problems one of the most frustrating things for him is that he is unable to lay down to sleep. Even if he does nod off in a chair, he will relax for a couple of minutes, but soon has to stand up gasping for breath, he is walking the corridors of the hospital at night! Anna has chased them up over it but they just don't seem to be able to find any answers. They are going to CT Scan him again tomorrow to find out why he can't lay down on his back to sleep. Awful to see him like it.

Thanks Syd and CathyML for your kind words of support.

I'm sorry to hear about Anna's dad. I hope he can find some relief and sleep soon.

Today marks the 17th year since my mum passed away. Why has it gone so fast?

Army son is home on leave, so we are enjoying time together. Life is good!

Ron, it's the water in his lungs that sounds dangerous to me..as for his back  pain, it's probably his nervous sytem and his heart that's being strained...it shows up first down the spine and in the legs. For most of us, it's keeping the water retention down.You could maybe take in some "magnets" and lay them along his spine and see it that helps some..to relax him..it helps to relieve the stress... 83 is getting up there, though have had an family that lives in their 90's except for this generation of my mother's...all "depression era" kids.

On the news tonight an cafe closed down because it said it was 115 degrees inside....5 pm 100... degrees in many places right now...I have an 11 degree difference upstairs and turned on the blower fan to the furnace to bring up some cooler air also from the downstairs..and started reading an book. Takes place in England,with two newly marrieds...she an "caver"...goes into caves to explore them.. and her new hubby found and broke an code to finding an Blue Skull...but were being followed...to get them off thier trail, he told her to climb higher for safey with the skul in her knapsack...l and he took her light and made it look like they were together...she got out..he didn't they found his body where he'd fallen or was pushed off an 400 foot ledge...he's still breathing but in an coma in the hosptial after being rescued. In between the chapters...is the story of the fella that had made up the code they deciohered to find the skull  and he was an freind of Nostordameus also...whose is trying to tell him about the Skulls in general and how they have to be together come Dec. 21, 2012...all thirteen of them. They really exist but I don' tknow if what this book tells is is truth or fiction...I'll have to look up some on them...but my computer is at the moment into 48up dates...since "sissy" started it over from restoring it as an new computer yesterday morning. So I am on hubby's puter right now, and have sent him out to dinner tonight...to hot to cook. More or less taking an breather from reading. The skull supposedly see's all it's owners dead eventually also. They claim the 13 skulls are an array of 9 rainbow in colors, including black and white.. four clear ones and four made after the beasts in the world, that crawl, fly, walk and jump...or something to that nature. That part sounded an bit far-fetched to me. I'll also have to look up some of the places they are dealing with..most in Yorkshire though..she talks of several caves in the area also...and they were studying and professors at colleges named Cambridge, and Bedes..ever heard of Ingleborough Hill..Yorkshire Dales? At any rate, I better get to my computer upstairs as it was really hot and only half way through the supposed up-dates...and I lost all my book marks also yesterday.  Thunderstorns coming up from the south...they expect all hell to break out by Saturday from this heat...until then another day of around 100 degrees tomarrow....I'll be up letting my house cool off and reading...talk to all later on.

Ron and Anna I feel so sorry for Don, it must be unbearable not being able to lie down and so stressfull for the family to watch. although Anna keeps on at them I do wonder if they take more notice of a man than a female,  I know when Bill was in hospital I used to get my son to talk to the doctors etc initially I do hope they soon sort it out for all your sakes

Good morning James...and how are you doing today?...get your computer figured out...the new one?.....an challenge for me sometimes.

Cathyml..throwing snow balls as of yet?....seems funny, as here we are trying to cope with the heat...and you have snow...won't be to long though...this is your first year in your new house isn't it?..how's that going also. I always look at the "craft books" and think of you...esp. when it comes to making one's own gift wrap/cards..other such things.

my book is coming right along nicely...they took the blue crystal skull to someone that can  make face profiles from skelaton's...put an laser on it...turned into an series of graphics.. and when they got done it turned out to be an face print of the lady that found it in the story..I guess they tend to get found... by people that are meant to have them? They all worry about her becoming "posessed" by it. They did this at Cambridge..Geology Department.  She tried to throw it away one time, as someone is chasing them around unseen trying to kill them or get at the skull...they don't know who. She couldn't do it, even though she's dealing with it talking to her telepathically from time to time...drives her bonkers. Fella thinks its drawn to her because it was an past ancestor....female apparently.

I researched the Crystal Skulls on the internet last night...and looks like they did thier reasearch for writing the book pretty well also. I also talked to Leslie this morning...and she supplied me with the Art work of the Denver Airport that's been so controverisal...perhaps how these people came upon an mosaic floor mural down south of to be the USA... in Zama, New Spain where ever that's at. Both mosacis sounded simliar. I still need to look up th place names theyare dealing with. House didnt' get as cool last night inside as the air temperatures are higher now outside...humidity this monring was 61 per cent outside..but I see now clouds..most likely the marine front coming in off the coast. Thank god an nice little breeze out there right now. I know out at my kid's house, I doubt the grandkids are stying inside where it's cooler...but thier mother gets tomarrow off...maybe she can reign them in somwhat, then an nephew of hers is going to babysit them this weekend, so she can go with the girls she works with to an retreat...at the one lady's house. Gesh, I neverhad that option with my son growing up...I left him twice as he got older with dad and Betty for an weekend at the coast with in-laws. But I just never left him that much at all..one reason why I always had th ekids over here back then. Glad I don't now though. I actually have less space now then I did back then, because we had the garage into an room with pool table and entertainment centers/computers and games.. and an basketball hoop outside and BBQ...so I did an lot from that area. Birthday parties when they were younger also. Then when they got older, four of them moved in over summer...while they worked and fixed up an old Mercedies I think it was...after they got it fixed up, th ekid that owned it couldn't afford the car insurance on it, so he sold it....they all went back to school.

Good Morning...what is it that you "Cantell"?...just playing with you an bit. I must go for now... so everyone have an good day today!
