Life goes on and I got plenty rest the last few days now I'm ready to watch all the football games they can show on TV for the next few days..... I'm not going out shopping can't fight the big crowds and bargain hunters that will bust in the doors early as possible..... I guess that gets folks out the house but I stay home anyway so I am OK with that..... I just enjoy being home with the two little dogs as they keep me company all the time.....
Then the lady comes in at 9am to to fix me foo
Teacher Arrested...
I found this funny because of the play on words...Funny enough to Blog! The true Fred, always laughing and making others laugh as well!
At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, the U.S. attorney general said he believes the man is a member of the n
I can't think of a thing to blog about this week except on this Saturday I plan on going to visit the grave of my mom to see if the headstone is still upright! The mowers knock down many of them plus that area is sandy making those heavy stones easy to shift! The 11th of June would be her 114th birthday as she was laid to rest just before her 83rd birthday! My dad was also laid to rest in the same general area of that cemetery but in 1955! I can't remember if he had a tall headstone but I think
Well, tax pay up time has arrived because tomorrow 17 April 2012 is the last day to post mark and send your payment to the IRS without farther penalties. I will insure it gets in the mailbox TODAY!
When they have to send you a refund of your money you paid them all year they don't add any interest but when you owe them for not paying enough they charge you a fee! So today I'm making sure my check is in the mail for tomorrows deadline to pay! I already sent in another W4 to have more held for ta
I, we, enjoyed the company party. I got to dance after awhile. They started off with line dancing. That was too many turns for my feet so I kept my seat. My wife danced every dance and cooled off with a Heineken and a shot of whiskey. After a while she gave me the keys to the car. I guess I was like the Gecko on the dance floor. The center of attraction but "I DID IT!" Hooray for me! All the photos were taken by a photo company and you could have portraits done too at their setup in a corner of
I read blogs last week and today by other members and they made me think! I have to be very glad to be in a recovery mode, I'm very much alive and trying my level best to do all I can to walk and be very close to doing what I knew to do before the stroke changed things in my life. Should I keep that thought and mind set I'm bound to get better with time and really have no reason whatsoever to think anything differently. I have been at recovering almost 8 years and I know now it takes time for wh
I can't imagine life without a mate! The last two days I have been laid out with a virus I'm told. Nevertheless when food doesn't stay on your stomach your head is spinning, hurting and you are throwing up all at the same time I feel you are sick, real sick. That is no fun at all. My wife was by my side. I don't know if she thought I would make it or she wanted to be by my side in case I didn't make it!
It was scary and right now I'm still very weak. First we thought Flu and I didn't get my
Here's a Plan...Vacation year around...I love it and can afford it for once!
About 2 years ago my wife and I were on a cruise through the western Mediterranean aboard a Princess ship. At dinner we noticed an elderly lady sitting alone along the rail of the grand stairway in the main dining room. I also noticed that all the staff, ships officers, waiters, busboys, etc., all seemed very familiar with this lady. I asked our waiter who the lady was, expecting to be told she owned the line, but h
Thought I would attempt to cheer some of you up. I read where tears are running rampart, hearts are heavy and the days and weeks are making you feel so down. Lay your burdens down give them to God he won't put more on you than you can carry. Brighter days and weeks are just ahead! :big_grin: Nothing last forever especially hard times! :Clap-Hands: :roflmao:
This guy is sitting at home alone when he hears a knock on the front door. There are two sheriff's deputies there so he asks if ther
I'm praying for Ray, Sue's husband. He suffered a bad fall from a chair and broke his shoulder bone on the affected side. That hurts, but join me in sending prayers for his recovery. Then for our own Blog hostess Sue. Kim got the word to us so thought I would put it in my blog because some members and guess will read the blogs but not the message board.
Ray is in need of all the prayers that can be sent at this time, God hears our prayers you know! Sue has been care giver for Ray all these
Honestly, one never knows what tomorrow brings. We had no rain in Texas for so long it was a drought. Now I'm in Louisiana, it's raining and the Mississippi river water is coming this way next week. I would think it being 15 feet below sea level and thw river water is coming, some homes will be lost again! We are helping grab what we can and hitail it back to Texas.
I've never drove so much, worked so hard as a disabled man as I am doing now. That tells me love has no limits in doing for fam
Have you ever searched far and wide for anything? Well this is a never ending search for the right animal to become a pet for a six year old girl. If you think shopping for a wife is a job, try shopping for a child who wants the right dog! When we think the search is over we discover the dog is not a male which is what she wants.
Right now I'm taking a break to help my wife get ready to set up for a church sale. Getting the right table and racks for shoes is important as space will be limite
Well this blog tonight is a reminder to myself about living one day and gone the next. I've been trying to sleep, nap, rest or whatever, but with all the earthquake news reporting on the web, TV and radio, I can't sleep!
We, as people on this earth has no doubt seen much devastation around the world and as I recall it's been one thing after another the last few years. The floods in Australia, earthquake in Haiti, New Zealand and other places. It just seems to me God is telling us He is still
Is it correct to say or wish a merry christmas anymore?? I ask that question, cause here lately, I see the usual ads in the daily and sunday papers, wishing a "happy holiday season".
I remember wishing a "merry christmas and a happy new year" in newspapers, cards, letters and people saying it to each other, from many years ago.
Even Charlie Brown and Lucy, the peanuts cartoon, still aire a Christmas show on TV, here in the US.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to those who believe, along wi
We as people got to believe we can do or accomplish something without saying, "I can't or I won't or it's not possible in my case!" We have to T- R- Y, success will come with will power and determination. Two months ago I said I probably would not walk again without a cane. With proper therapy now, I'm walking without a cane!
This is only the beginning, you must have faith in yourself first then in who is leading the way in your recovery. In my case I put God first, but in all cases you got
This may bring tears to your eyes. The sad part is that it is true.
This is well worth the read.
"SOON TO BE GONE"
By Capt. Steven Ellison, MD
A MILITARY DOCTOR
This should be required reading in every school and college in our country. This Captain, an Army doctor, deserves a medal himself for putting this together. If you choose not to pass it on, fine, but I think you will want to, after you read it.
I am a doctor specializing in the E
This is hard to put into words but I'll try. You heard of use it or lose it right? Well, I used my left hand and arm daily and exercise my entire left side every day. My doctor's diagnose now is "I've lost the use of my weak hand but at the same time gained the use of my left leg and foot. How strange can that be?
The doctor was reviewing MRI and other pictures taken recently of my brain and head. I have very small veins feeding into cells that have died for whatever reasons. When?, he does
Well I haven't blogged since 15 Mar so here is my latest claim to fame...My grand daughter wanted to grow something since her school was making this a big project prior to the end of the school year. We planted Flowers and Vegetables. She was excited, we planted tomatoes seeds first. She made the hole with her finger to put in the two seeds and covered them up. The next day she asked if the tomatoes was ready yet. Evert day she asked!
Finally the stem came up out of the ground, then finally
Hey All,
I saw this on a desk in a room they had me park my scooter until the doctor come in to get me. This was the only thing on the desk and no chair. I don't suppose the last person at this desk QUIT??
DON'T QUIT...
When things go wrong as they sometimes Will,
when the road you're trudging seems all Uphill,
when you're feeling low and the stress is High,
and when you want to smile but you have to Sigh,
when worries are getting you down a Bit...
by all means pra
Well, after being on Short Term Disability since 15 April, my doctors said I could return to work on Monday, the 23rd of this month. After two hospital visits (stays), many MRI's and scans they still aren't sure of what is causing the dizziness, balance loss and severe weakness in legs and arms.
I feel better so I'll just take it easy one day at a time and see how things turn out. But I'm ready for the return to work since I like my job and I get to meet and see many people every day. Of c
Hello to each of you, thanks so very much for your prayers, thoughts, concerns and caring. Because of you all I'm back home. A little less ability in my hand and knee but otherwise satisfied to be alive and can still do for myself.
They let me go Sunday with a diagnose of no stroke but unexplained lesions in two spots on my MRI that they will not call stroke related. I had about every test and scan possible. I bet Medicare is wondering what on earth were they looking for with this patient w
Have you ever wondered why we, as human beings everywhere, somehow seem to always be late getting to the place we are going? We never leave or arrive on time, We rush, we speed while driving, we just don't or won't allow ourselves enough time to be ahead of schedule. We know time waits for no one.
When we do manage to arrive early for our doctors appointments, they keep us waiting. As a rule, they are never on time with appointments either. Yet, they want to charge us for a no-show and the
Well folks, here we are near the end of another year. We lost some members, family, friends and gained many along the way this year. How remarkable it is for us to feel we have made recovery our goal to gain as much independence as possible little by little. As always, we have had our share of non-productive days, weeks and months, but there are only 36 days left in this year.
There is strife and wars all over the world in some form or another. People bombing and killing their own people, o
Well, here I go again, off on one of my many wondering roads leading to, this time, stroke prevention. Is there such a thing? The old adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, or something to that effect. Wouldn't it be nice to know there was something we could have done to prevent what happen to us when it did. Tell-tell signs to prevent strokes like the signs that tell you are having a stroke.
It just seems to me that some sort of research can determine a preventative
At this time of night, I finally finished the morning daily news. My attention was centered around several articles in the same newspaper about teachers (Public Schools) mostly women in their 30's who get with boys in their early teens and under. I can't for the life of me, see the continued cause or drive they acquire to have sex with these kids.
Now I can't go to sleep, wondering what motivates them to go that route. This latest case involves a child 11 years old and she is 36 in Laurens,
