We all go though problems in life.
Its part of our growth and to become a much better person. I believe some times problems are ment to be as we are either weak or need to learn.
Its our chooses how to take a problem.

We can either live in Anger. Which we will only be punishing our selves and attracting more or putting the blame on someone else.

or we can let go.Take our responsability, learn from it and make us more stronger and aware.

I have two houses, the main one and the antique farm house. I rent the farmhouse. Last tenant was 23 years and was killed in a plant explosion. His best bud moved in and has been here for 6 years. Fit in nicely to the routine on the farm and helping out.
He is a smoker and drinker. Ended up with lung cancer over a year ago. Radiation and chemo and all good to go. Then arm swelled due to radiation. Fluid in chest..in hospital to drain a gallon. Ok.. Then VA put him back on maintenance chemo. He got up the other day and sick. Called daughter, into VA hospital.
She called yesterday. He was due to have surgery to drain pus caused by staph infection, super bad. Did shoulder, spine, cause he had a T12 compression fracture. And the hip replacement. Got agitated and they induced comma. She was there and so was a PRIEST! Gather the family. They put him on a ventilator. She spent the night. This morning they went into to check heart, two valves infected and he is too sick to operate. Last she said they were doing an MRI at noon to see if staph is in brain. IF so, with antibiotics not working, they will bring him out of comma, take off ventilator and allow family their good byes!
I told her do not let them give up on him!! She said definitely not! I have not heard news since. Test was to be done by 3 and it is almost 5.
He is 58 years old. A lawyer and good guy. One day it all hits the fan and all she wrote.
It will not be the loss of the 23 year one, but sure rocks my world and farm. He surely did not deserve it. 23 year tenant was crushed to death when building landed on him. His sister choked to death last week at 56. And now his bud suffers and all with cancer and the problems the great medical industry gave him. Radiation destroys lymph system and chemo and radiation destroys immune system. And hospital visits gave him staph.
I am healthy cause I NEVER go near medical system nor Doctors!

Good wax figures make history and bad wax figures even better history.
One of the latest figures to make the news is Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's figure at the Grévin Museum in Paris. Basically... it doesn't look like Dwayne.



The link had me laughing at how bad the wax statues were.
Celine Dion wasn't close... boobs are too big, wrong hair texture, different nose.

I once thought about camping in the desert. When night falls, sit down and lean on your lover's shoulder, looking at the stars in the sky. The sound of the gas campfire next to the tent is intertwined with the sound of the wind, which is a song of blessing. If you are lucky, you may also see shooting stars. I think this will be an unforgettable experience. When we have gray hair, we are still reminded of these wonderful experiences. This is why I work hard, so that I can enjoy life freely without having to worry about tedious work.
I'm looking for a gentleman who can watch the stars with me.

I am a woman who has been looking for me.

This last 6 months I found her, she was lost under this insecure mass that I had built to hide her.

I am overweight, because mainly my ex loved bigger woman, I am essentially a people pleaser, something I am realising.

Oh I was content and happy with my family, work and how I was seen in those areas, I am so proud of those area's in my life.

I forgot I was still a woman who could be loved without being changed, and now, I am being changed because it's what I want, because I am loved..

Right now I am being loved very gently and slowly as I see that I am enough just as I am, he makes my soul melt, and I am finding out I don't need a Man, but I want this one in a deep and magical way that only my soul understands.

To everyone here, you can find so much magic if you allow yourself to let someone show you, don't ever give up.

With the help of Karel Capek, one of the best writers of the 20th century:


These Times
Peace
We don't want war. Punitive action against anyone weaker will do.
No War
Proof that we really don't want war: we fight without a formal declaration.
International Tragedies
. . . yes, certainly; but with whom we wage war is our own internal affair.
News
We have introduced two new divisions with tanks and aircraft into the attack.
The enemy is fleeing due to heavy losses. Peace continues undisturbed.
Diplomatic Note
To show that we are a peace-loving people, we are willing to accept the enemy's
unconditional surrender.
Protest
We call the attention of the civilized world to our barbaric enemies who, instead
of accepting our terms, go or, _allowing our aircraft to slaughter their women and
children.
News
Our aircraft have bombed the enemy forces with resounding success. ,One
soldier, seventeen women and one hundred children were killed.
Proof
As proof of our efforts to reach an agreement with our neighboring state, we
have begun the bombardment of their open cities.
News
The enemy treacherously attempted to shoot down our airplanes while we were
peacefully dropping bombs on their city.
Good Will
We are willing to submit our conflict to an international conference - with the provision,
of course, that it decides in our favor.
Progress of Civilization
Shooting is more effective now, but at least it is no longer called war.
Two Tigers in a Jungle
We met in the interest of peace. We agreed to hunt together in the future.
Maxim
As long as the wiser man yields, the shrewder man will keep on fighting.
Wolf and Goat
We've reached a trade agreement: I won't eat your grass, and you in return will furnish me with
goat meat.
Fox
Don't believe cackling hens. When I'm sated, invariably there is peace in the hen-house.
Gangster
If you were to defend yourself, sir, I would be forced to consider it an unfriendly gesture.
Wolf
I'm full. Higher morality has triumphed once again.
Robber
He attacked me, and I was only protecting my interest in his wallet.
Trail
Three hundred arrested? And what shall we have them confess to?
Forty-five Executed
By their own admission they tried to steal the moon.
Death
See now? This kind of peace isn't so bad!

On Friday, I got to visit the Carillon Historical Park, with some of the oldest buildings in the Dayton area. There were a few hundred displays of things & photos of the made here. NCR cash registers, DELCO automotive parts, Huffy bicycles, Frigidaire refrigerators for example. The Charles Kettering display had a moving mannequin describing some of his inventions and experiences.
The main attraction was the Wright Brothers National Museum where they had recreations of the bicycle store and workshop where they started propeller design and testing models that eventually lead to the building of their aircraft.
A small auditorium was playing movies with actual film footage of their experimental aircraft. I had no idea of the number of failures they experienced getting a working airplane and how they went to Europe to demonstrate it's flight and dispel the rumors as other inventors were very close in their attempts of manned flight.

I'd never heard of this before - insulin for non-diabetics, as a way to lose weight. A man in his early 70s that I know has recently started it, because his overweight daughter did. I looked it up, and seems there's quite a trend, mainly in the US. They are not in the US but their doctor is providing the stuff and monitoring quantities and, presumably, their health.

Changing the body's chemical make-up - AND knowing that diabetics struggle to rid themselves of stored bellyfat when they start on insulin - is surely not a great idea, but father and daughter are both very happy so far with reduced appetite and steady weightloss, don't mind the occasional attack of biliousness. Both are pretty large.

Anyone know more pros and cons - literally asking for a friend, since his wife (a naturally skinny wench who therefore Doesn't Understand How Hard It Is To Lose Weight) is absolutely appalled.

I am very sorry that such a horror is happening in our country now.
You should know that ordinary people are not to blame for this! I can't influence it.
And my profile here is not an attempt to find a sponsor.
It's a shame when people post stuff like this.
