My Thoughts on the New Year..



2011 has not been a Good year in my life.

This year as most of you know I lost my Mom, I have one sister struggling with bladder cancer& depression, Another Sister had a mild heart attack and little Jax's had a relapse with his cancer.I've had a friend that I thought was looking out for my best interest even warned me to" be careful" and yet they were the one that betrayed me. Don't know why they felt it necessary and never will!

OK all those Negatives being said for 2011

Let's focus on the Positive.
I spent the last 6 months of my Mother's life by her side day and night. We laughed & We Cried together and those are really some precious memories that I want to hang on too.

The Sister that has the bladder cancer has some testing coming up with a new Dr. and I've met and talked to him within the last couple of weeks and he's giving us some positive feedback .

The Sister that had a heart attack is doing quite well and she seems to be taking better care of herself since then but I will keep checking on her to make sure she does :)

My little friend Jax is one of the sweetest kids you would ever want to meet and I have a Good Feeling that this time God's going to knock this Cancer out of him Once and For All.

As Far as the Friend goes ~ Well I think "Friend Goes" sums it up nicely.
And I so much believe in Karma (You get back from this world What you Put out)

All this being said.

I want to Wish EVERYONE of my Friends a HAPPY and BLESSED New Year.
Let's make 2012 a Good One to Remember


And get that man outta the white house!

Wanna bet?

This is my lottery ticket. LOOK I won $15.00. 

My little Sis won a thousand dollars on this same lottery game scratch off yesterday.  She was so excited that she called me first.

There's a little bit of a funny story that goes along with her lotto win.

She scratched her thousand dollar win in her church parking lot . I'm betting she didn't tell the congregation that she won. :)

This brought back some fond memories of my Mom. She always said it was a SIN to gamble and that we shouldn't do it. But yet when she and I went out and I bought lottery scratch offs, she would be scratching MINE off going down the road and would say "If I win something big we will split it" I would always be wishing that she would scratch off something BIG on just one just so I could hear the excitement in her voice . She never did hit a big lottery win, but in typing this post I just realized although I didn't hit the big one here, I did in my heart because it brought back some precious memories of my Mom that put a :) on my face.

I really miss her!

In life I've learned it's always a gamble! It just depends on how much you are willing to risk.

Update~Here's a Copy of her ticket

She will be taking me out to dinner. 

Someone is enjoying his presents.

                                                                  I'm hoping everyone had a nice Christmas

My Son (Travis) is enjoying his first archery set.

Yes it did leave a blister cause he didn't wear his glove that came with the set.

I tried to tell him. 

I got a new toy too..It does require batteries

Yep its a new scanner~What else could it have been?

L(o^o)k  for some old pictures soon. When I figure out how to work this thing.

Note it does say 3 EASY steps.

Jax's Update~Needing more Prayers for today

Received this email from my friend this morning.
"Need everyone praying for jax.  His platelet count has dropped from 144 on Friday to 36 today.    This could be due to the chemo.  Getting platelets now.  Bone marrow at 1pm.  Please pray that he is still in remission.  Love  Renee"

Jax is at the Duke Hospital for the next couple of Days for testing to see if he's healthy enough for a bone marrow transplant.

This picture was taken yesterday.12-20-2011

Christmas NEWS.....

  There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington this year! The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capitol this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol. A search for a Virgin continues. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.

Heard it from a friend Who....

                       WARNING A FEW BAD WORDS USED IN THIS VIDEO :-)

My Niece sent me this video this morning.....After I cleaned up my coffee off the keyboard...I was thinking Some of you would like this :o)

Some Tattoo's really Stink!

Tattoo artist Ryan Fitzgerald from Dayton, OH was hit with a $100,000 lawsuit last week by his ex-girlfriend Rossie Brovent. She claims that her boyfriend was supposed to tattoo a scene from Narnia on her back but instead tattooed an image of a pile of excrement with flies buzzing around it.

Apparently, Ryan found out that Rossie had cheated with a long-time friend of his, but instead of confronting her about it he acted like everything was normal and hatched a plan for revenge. Originally, Rossie tried to have Ryan charged with assault, but the ingenious tattoo artist had covered his bases by plying Rossie with wine and tequila shots and getting her to sign a consent form that stated the design was “at the artist’s discretion.”

No word from Rossie on whether the illicit night of passion with Ryan’s friend was worth it. Moral of the story? Never cheat on a tattoo artist.

Update: 15-year-old Girl is 5th Fatality in Pleasant Garden Shootings

Update: 15-year-old Girl is 5th Fatality in Pleasant Garden Shootings



These murders took place in my "neck of the woods"




This was such a Sad thing to happen..My heart breaks for the family.

The 10,000 check to the lover's wife really just doesn't add up to me.
Plus another thing that puzzles me is the boyfriend  received non threatening wounds.

I feel there's a lot more to this story.

Baptized yet?

Johnny's Mother looked out the window and noticed him "playing church" with their cat.

He had the cat sitting quietly and he was preaching to it. She smiled and went about her work. A while later she heard loud meowing and hissing and ran back To the open window to see Johnny baptizing the cat in a tub of water.

She called out, "Johnny, stop that! The cat is afraid of water!"

Johnny looked up at her and said, "He should have thought about that before he joined my church."

I'll Drink to That!

Only because I HAVE  too.
  

I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy.


A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through Minneapolis .


Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a thorough, reassuring and patient manner.

I nodded thoughtfully, but I didn't really hear anything he said, because my brain was shrieking, quote, 'HE'S GOING TO STICK A TUBE 17,000 FEET UP YOUR BEHIND!'

I left Andy's office with some written instructions, and a prescription for a product called 'MoviPrep,' which comes in a box large enough to hold a microwave oven.


I will discuss MoviPrep in detail later; for now suffice it to say that we must never allow it to fall into the hands of America 's enemies.


I spent the next several days productively sitting around being nervous.


Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation.

In accordance with my instructions, I didn't eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor.


Then, in the evening , I took the MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons). Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, be ca use MoviPrep tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon.


The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, 'a loose, watery bowel movement may result'.


This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground.


MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don't want to be too graphic, here, but: have you ever seen a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I ca n tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet.


After an action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep.


The next morning my wife drove me to the clinic. I was very nervous. Not only was I worried about the procedure, but I had been experiencing occasional return bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, 'What if I spurt on Andy?' How do you apologize to a friend for something like that? Flowers would not be enough.

At the clinic I had to sign many forms acknowledging that I understood and totally agreed with whatever the heck the forms said. Then they led me to a room full of other colonoscopy people, where I went inside a little curtained space and took off my clothes and put on one of those hospital garments designed by sadist perverts; the kind that, when you put it on, makes you feel even more naked than when you are actually naked.


Then a nurse named Eddie put a little needle in a vein in my left hand. Ordinarily I would have fainted, but Eddie was very good, and I was already lying down. Eddie also told me that some people put vodka in their MoviPrep.

At first I was ticked off that I hadn't thought of this, but then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to make it to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire Hose Mode. You would have no choice but to burn your house.


When everything was ready, Eddie wheeled me into the procedure room, where Andy was waiting with a nurse and an anesthesiologist. I did not see the 17,000-foot tube, but I knew Andy had it hidden around there somewhere.

I was seriously nervous at this point.
Andy had me roll over on my left side, and the anesthesiologist began hooking something up to the needle in my hand.

There was music playing in the room, and I realized that the song was 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA. I remarked to Andy that, of all the songs that could be playing during this particular procedure, 'Dancing Queen' had to be the least appropriate.

'You want me to turn it up?' said Andy, from somewhere behind me..

'Ha ha,' I said. And then it was time; the moment I had been dreading for more than a decade. If you are squeamish, prepare yourself, be ca use I am going to tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was like.


I have no idea! Really! I slept through it! One moment, ABBA was yelling, 'Dancing Queen, feel the beat of the tambourine,' and the next moment, I was back in the other room, waking up in a very mellow mood.
Andy was looking down at me and asking me how I felt. I felt excellent.. I felt even more excellent when Andy told me that It was all over, and that my colon had passed with flying colors. I have never been prouder of an internal organ.

It's hard to believe that this happened~ I'm guessing in this case two wrongs did equal up to One Right.

Smile for the day--Amazing Facts

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days

you would have produced enough sound

energy to heat one cup of coffee.

(Hardly seems worth it.)



If you farted consistently for 6 years and

9 months, enough gas is produced to create

the energy of an atomic bomb.

(Now that's more like it!)



The human heart creates enough pressure when

it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

(O.M.G.!)



A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

(O.M.G.!!!)



A cockroach will live nine days without its head

before it starves to death.(Creepy)

(I'm still not over the pig.)



Banging your head against a wall uses 150

calories an hour.

(Don't try this at home; maybe at work.)



The male praying mantis cannot copulate

while its head is attached to its body.

The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.

(Honey, I'm home . What the...?)



The flea can jump 350 times its body length.

It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

(30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?)



The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)



Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

(I still can't believe that pig ...quality over quantity.)



Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know.)



The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

(Hmmmmmm.......)



Right-handed people live, on average, nine

years longer than left-handed people.

(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)



Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

(Okay, so that would be a good thing.)



A cat's urine glows under a black light.

(I wonder how much the government paid to figure that out.)



An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

(I know some people like that.)



Starfish have no brains.

(I know some people like that, too.)



Polar bears are left-handed.

(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)



Humans and dolphins are the only

species that have sex for pleasure.

(What about that pig? Do the dolphins know about the pig?)

Hope this Works~ Check it Out

Once you type in the year it will start counting back - then it will fade to black and the text will appear on that black screen. Lots of interesting information is given. Just click on "year of your birth" below........  

 

The screen is going to fade to black; have your glasses on, and follow the instructions below.

You'll be pleasantly surprised with this one... Type the year only!! Then click the question (?) mark!

Sit back and enjoy!!

Year of your birth

I agree 100%

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
~ Margaret Mead

 
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.



Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. Congress (past , present &future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! 
If you agree with the above, pass it on.

Allergies

..Spent the whole day at the Allergist office.

There's not much he wasn't allergic to!.

He's allergic to Grass(all kinds) A plus is hopefully he won't smoke weed :)

Oak trees,Pecan and Birch trees are on the list as well as Dogs and Cats (We have

2 dogs and 2 cats) He refuses to let the animals go, as do I. We will work that out.

He asked if I could not tell the kids at school that he will be getting a series of allergy shots because they will think he's a dork.

Now I was so shocked that they still used the word "DORK"

But Hey on the Plus Side We found out that he's not allergic to dust and mold...Ye haw I can still dust the same as always( Don't Ask :).

Twins?

Wonder when he will see the resemblance?

Wonder when this reporter will notice the resemblance :)



Choices

Sometimes in life we have to burn that bridge for ourselves but there's always the one that lights the match

to start the fire, whether on purpose or by accident. .

Either way once the bridge burns there's no going back!

Who will Drink First?

In my Opinion the Dog did :)

Jax's First Gun

I think he's going to be a Great Hunter and his target is going to be to kill this Cancer that

wants to take up house in his little body.

Jax's is swollen here from steroids.

And the Chemo is starting to make his hair fall out again.

But he's still a CUTIE :-)
