Good Day "36"

Well, I finally get to see her picture...she looks lovely Syd...hope all goes well between the both of you.

Ok..I've had the Envirormental Protection Agency out and about all day long today...which means...someone is trying to hack "Comcast" satelitte again....as they only come out when it's sending incoming microwave pluses through our houses...via our "cable" lines. Neither hubby nor I have been able to get on line since yesterday. Actually it wouldn't surprise me to much if they were really the FBI or the CIA...and one wonders if they did this because today was an "Black Friday" on-line...perhaps wanting to steal people's buying and selling items today maybe? As I said...I do NO business on this computer. Never have...never will. Drop me an 800 phone number instead if you want my business.

My house is an complete mess...we took down the Christmas decorations Sunday afternoon....I have every room full of something right now in an bag of some type or box...I worked on the livingroom and dinning room today...changing table linens and washing dishes as I go. Will need several more days before I get the upperhand on everything. Little at a time,,,but steady does it eventually.

That's about it from my corner of the world. I did watch "Dancing with the Stars" tonight...tomarrow is the final winner for this season...and they have all been good this round..as far as the show went.

So it is...I drag my weary body into bed for tonight...hope to get some much needed rest. How is Cathyml doing?... Sorry to hear of Sue's latest plight also. Tried to give her some tips that I didn't know existed when my freind "Ann" had her colon cancer problem.  No, she did not survive it either...she prolonged it with the treatments she had, plus an second operation...but she still suscumbed to it later on...I think out of the weakness she acquired.... from the Chemo-therapy treatments. She died quietly in her sleep one night. Her daughter called me on the phone and we talked an bit...into the wee hours of the morning.  For me, it was very sad. But again...we went through this again this year with hubby's younger sister also. Only her problem was breast cancer...again..twice they removed her breasts...then said it spread through her body. I sometimes wonder if they know what the "Hell" they are doing to people.... and families. I've lost most my uncles on my dad's side from it also. One thing all of them shared...they started smoking as kids in high school and never gave it up...except for Ann...that I know of so far. I must go for now...lots of work left to do tomarrow. Have an good evening!

My daughter in-law went into "emergency" last night with back spasms...they gave her an shot and pain killers also...she's pushing herself these days trying to get her college education. Still has at least two weeks to  go before "Christmas vacation" starts. People working to hard... for next to nothing these days. Maybe time for an "world prayer" again?

Oh Shirley how come you have been able to see Syds Ladeee, I have not seen it.

By the way you asked me what the doc said about my BP, I had a shock, he said it was 102 over 60 something so he took me off a large tablet, now I hope it is not going to go too high, I will see the nurse again in 2 weeks time, never heard of anyones BP being so low, therefore yours seem perfect in comparison.

Syd your drive into the country seems a lovely way to get to know each other, my friend came on Sunday and told me after 10 years of being on her own she has now paired up with a new man, must be something in the air. !!!

That was the last thing I talked to my cardologist about for the last time...what's to high or to low an blood pressure. In fact he closed down his office and we probably talked an half hour afterwards because it was the last time I'll ever see him. The three of us all left the building at the same time..him, his nurse, and myself. I just got his billing yesterday or so and I got to pay this one out of my pocket...as we don't have Providence Health Insurance. Since he's moved the third time I've known him into this group of doctors, I would not be surprised to see him at an latter date move into an office of his own also. He is an "floater" for any hospital until Providence told him "no"..he can't do that with them. I think he's trying to find an place he feels suitable in opening an lifetime clinic of his own perhaps. Where the hospital isn't to far away..and has the kind of equiptment needed...and has future potential. Hospitals are as much "cliques" these days as they are health organizations...serving the people sometimes. It's hurts them to not be able to take in anyone that needs the help though in an emergency...they are gearing toward the small "emergency" cliinic splattered out and about and I'm finding many of those are being ran by an head RN..not an liscensed physician...whom they have on call...but not necessary in the clinic during the day. Something to think about. It really depends on the expereince/education of the head RN I suppose.

Ok...the computer problems I find out may also be due to something else yesterday...Federal Govt hit an Oregon-linked cartel badly yesterday...it included four businessmen in the Forrest Grove area and some people in India...the Mexican cartel of the Tijuana based Cardova family...and assoicates.. the infamous Sinaloa Cartel and San Deigo in an corpurt U.S Customs broker...and your talking in the "millions" of dollars. Oregon keeps what it convinscates you know...they kept after seizing and freezing ...$5.5 million in money, an Cessna 414A airplane, and luxury auto's that included an 2008 Tesla Roadster. The Forrest Grove fella picked up was named "Payton" and most likley isn't his real name...he transfered $7.2 million dollars to five businesses in India called "Nutramed Biotech"..it also included an place (Palazzo Hotel) in Las Vegas.

I wonder if this went on the news yesterday when I heard something about "Peanut butter having Samonella..because it was harvested by Mexicans using an dirty business method in processing it...strange as that sounds...we have been talking about here lately in another web site how sometimes the "underground" communicates through other people on TV.... or in the movies...to warn others involved. At any rate...they might of been the "hackers" in part yesterday also. The Fed's called this "Operation Liquid Dragon". Maybe they thought by hitting into the internet business yesterday they could recover some of their lost money also...you never know these days.

I'm still working on the house and decorations and should get back to it..kind of feeling lazy today for some reason. Talk to you later on..have an good day everyone....and again...how's "Cathyml" doing? I forgot to tell "Sue" to try to keep her body more alkaine then acid...they claim people with alkaline content... don't get cancer.Talk later on.

Hey...we got to see the winner of "Dancing with the Stars" tonight and she wanted to win it so bad...her dream came true.....but alas the news follows with bad news, showing some kind of "isolation box" at some school in Longview for special needs kids...and it's an hot item being talked about on face book...as the fella said...the parents have to allow them to use it. I think it's wrong myself...and I've had plenty of unruly kids I've had to deal with through the years. Reminds me of an concentration camp "torture box" and about as bad as that father that chained his daughter up to an dog house in Virginia in the winter...because she refused to do her homework and he wanted to teach her where she'd get in life.. if she didn't have an education. I thought he was an "sicko" also. Child abuse always includes some kind of "incarnation"...or "isolation"...I hope they rip it out and destroy it...children having problems can go lie down at the nurse's station if need be...where they can be watched or perhaps lightly sedated if need be. But it should be understand that all kids have to learn how to handle an tamtrum or anger...and this is an real cop-out.... as bad as doing nothing at all. If my son was unruly...I saw to it he sat down some place near me where I could watch him...and we talked about it later at home. School's disapline very unfairly many times and I imagine some parents agree to things... not to make an school scene worse then it already is perhaps. I walked into school one time to watch what my son was doing "bad" and surprised all the teachers...when the kids started calling me "mom"...they all wanted to stop me and talk with me. I felt he was being "picked on" by certain teachers for the most part...and you could tell which ones... as they had huge ego's for the most part...in behalf of themselves. Most the students told me that the school wasn't big enough and staffed enough to make it fair for everyone that went there...so they picked out certain kids that were not for instant turning in their homework, skipping classes, and Jokesters....and found ways to suspend them to send them to an different "special needs" school...one in which they closed it down from an principal there raping the girl students later on. Apparently how they were "allowed" to granduate. Sicko's again.

In grade school my son had an teacher that I pulled out of class from his constantly reprimanding him...I finally asked the teacher what was the problem...he was an second grader then...he told me he disrupted the class...refused to raise his hand and get permission to talk...got up and went over and picked out his books during class...

I had to finally tell him that my son had spent at least three years atan world-wide recongized "Private" school being taught techiniques on how to "self-educate" himself. His answer...was...well this isn't that school sacrcastically and I said...then your no teacher either or you'd work with him patiently to understand and change him..rather then bullying him...your in your 30's ...he's like what..7 years old....later on the the town...adopted the school my son went to for all thier kindergarten students....but this teacher set up an bad example of communication right then and there...and it followed my son around for an long time.Teachers were for the most part ignoring him and teaching him nothing after that ...afraid that they'd have an fight on their hands..so the just didnt' want to be bothered...by the time he got up in grade school...he was about an year behind, he started two years ahead when he wen tot first grade..so I had an special tutor come in to help him...she said that she was trained to work WITH the school and never saw that going on while she was trying to help him. She said she asked the teachers constantly how they wanted him taught and what....and they never replied to her inquiries. She felt they were archic...discriminatory...uneducated as to most teachers...and really promised none of their students any kind of an future...in short..they did nothing...they were there to collect big bonuses and little else...screaming how "Important" they were over parents, students and others.  "Mr. Anderson" might of been an "liked" teacher and lots of "fun"...but he was an real "dud" to my thinking.....I hope someday he gets back the treatment he gave my son, besides an poor education...my son was treated with an very " huge" lack of understanding and egotism.  One of the of the biggest problems is the "pink slips" they give out...and students don't even know most the time "why" they got one...they get so many in an row and are told to go home for the day...still not knowing what they did wrong. I walked in there one time and one of the teachers asked what they felt they should do if my son speaks out if they can't give him an "pink slip...I said...tell him what you want and go about your way, in short tell him to" sit down and listen to what's going on"...in his private school...his teacher got an instant "silence" by an signal of holding her finger to her lips, try that one...true, as thier teacher she didn't "act out" and scream an yell..or reprimand...she simply put her finger ot her mouth and waited. Do you know to this day...some almost 35 years later...they"lock down" the high school for "lunch"..kids can't leave the campus....but the grade schools are open and not fenced in for security....anyone could walk in an haul off an kid...they wouldn't know and I have my suspicons that's exactly why Kyron Horman went missing and has never been found. They have no concept of whose in thier schools and who isn't most the time. ASk an parent...who do they watch and  KNOW where they are at ALL times..thier kids most often. But when they are in school...those kids are suppose to be watched by the teachers and personnel... and not come up missing...that in the years past has not always happened. It didn't happen with Kyron either. They never even knew he was missing.... until he didn't get off the school bus that afternoon. They have never found this kid...the parents fight constantly over it also in the court room these days....they were on Tv last night.  In the meantime schools are just now facing up to the fact that at times there is "bullying" going on also. I think those upset that the Longview school has an isolation "box" are thinking right...get rid of it. There's other ways.

Good Morning! 

Thanks Peggy! It is lovely to see you too. I did not want to personally comment on Sue's thread. Hope you understand.  

hey Cathy,,,have you been across the pond ??!!

Hello all and to all a good day.

Grandson home today with me...so things are going slow in getting done...sorry I am ranting and raving about things over here lately.Life is that way you know...not perfect by any means. I got an call from one of my old co-workers....was wondering how she was doing. the last time we talked she invited me over to her new house she had just bought. She said to come on over an visit her again some day..not to be shy. Though it is several hours away on the west side of Portland. She stood firmly by my side with my son and his educatioal problems....she was one of them that others we worked with felt she wouldn't amount to much...she fooled them...her hubby she met and married taught her the computer industry....it open up an new life for her entirely....and she said not to listen to anyone telling you that your " thieir problem" in life to my son...THEY are probably their own problem in life...trying to pass it off.  It was good to hear from her today. I guess I better get going for now...as there's an lot to be doing. It won't get done wishing it away either. Talk later on..have an good day everyone.
