100 Degrees Fahrenheit (39.77c) and Ready to Rant

Good Morrow,


I have so many things that I want to speak about…thank you for letting me bend you ear…and no I do not mind if you pick this up and put it down a few times to digest some of its info contained…it is day 45 with no tobacco, could be a but longer...you know me Dale has it written somewhere

Massage has been well…I have been looking for ways to get new customers…if you have ideas (other than craigslist or the newspaper) please e-mail me…Florida is severely economically depressed…I have hopes it will change soon…our new governor, Rick Scott, is working very hard…I have to admit I watch this guy with a microscope (I do not trust him), I also have to admit he has been working to make the state better for everyone…though I do feel he should have done better for the teachers

It has been a proven fact that when money is spent on education in several cultures and societies around the world that crime rates drop and unemployment rates also drop…side note- the culture of the society grows too

In ‘Psychology’ class this week…I have been having a rough time…I do not expect to agree with everyone or have them agree with me all the time…really…what fun is there in life without a little spirited debate…as you know I have walked thru HELL…not proud of it, but it is what it is…many people get angry with me when they can not prove me wrong and get a little crazy…okay…lets understand each other…I am not omnipotent…I have done things wrong so many times and paid dearly…that I now know how to do it properly

As many of you know, I have bounced around and now have friends all over the world…my thoughts tend to run deep…I think of things…the wind that goes into Gahanna every year carries Malaria…Russian storms that effect the UK…how polluted the Ganges is by the time it dumps in the ocean…where in the world are they building new medical gadgets…many years ago I explained to my children that we would be at a global economy before my life is over…I often wonder where we, the United States, will end up in such a case…sadly I think not well unless we put more into education and ethics

In Boudica, we have just received our second installment of the Benuska book…really neat…Chris and I have been posting Mason...he is so cute…I am kind of jealous of Rose as she gets to play with him…being a pond away sux!!!!!

I bought the cheap blue hard plastic pools for the dogs…Chole loves it and like a child in the bath, I have to fight to get him out…just like people, please think of your animals in this extreme heat…I have several fans at floor level…keep the water bowl clean several times a day…keep floors swept and mopped as this will keep down bacteria and fleas…it will also be cooler for them…since I have a tile floor and a way to keep them in the kitchen, I also give them ice cubes…all except Blue love to eat watermelon…I might be the crazy dog lady but, if you are under rubble you pray they come get me

The Circle has been spinning…new births happening every few days…Maggie, Martha, Janet and Mason were all born this last week…we are fast coming to the Midsummer Celebration…what do you have planned? Alison's baby will be in shy town, maybe I will get to play with him...her ultrasound picture is so amazin...how far they have come fom those fuzzy black and white poloroid pics they gave me back in the day



The garden looks tired…the heat is kicking it in the ass…if you have a big freezer you may want to buy a few bags of ice…1-2 bag(s) of ice=1/4 acre grass…I do not recommend it for plants as it can put them in shock, but has been working great on the lawn…also beats huge water bill…I usually water around 8 pm…I mulch heavy at the end of spring…all of this help the garden and your pocketbook too…do not forget to get out there an compost

Did you laugh today…okay…picture a naked rock;)

Walter and I had a great time Kayking in and around Crystal River...I can not wait to take Chole...we had a great time...it was quite inexpensive...we rented from Crystal River Kayak...great people to deal with...it was clean and safe...


Healthcare is a subject near and dear to me…I work very hard to give EVERY client I have my best…I also believe some of the best answers are the simplest and one should start at the bottom and work their way to the top…it is my feeling that as a society, it is something we must fight for…we should not want to be continually be doped up (even if we are in pain)…I want to yell ‘IT IS OKAY TO BE WELL!!!’…it bothers me to see how many people are on what I would call useless prescriptions and their minor illness can be handled with food or some other more natural substance…do not misunderstand me, If I need a script, I will take it, but I prefer to try the least invasive and best acting treatment first…it is usually cheaper and better for the body…you are not being insulting to talk to your doctor…it is what they are there for…he or she should know and understand the food/herb/prescription/treatment that is prescribed to you…if not, I suggest you find one who does

For Boaters or people who live in the hot climate it is time to buy ‘Emetrol’. It works great for sun sick or sea sick. Walter who normally works 3rd shift thought to help me mow the lawn (takes 4 hours in the sun)….the next day he prayed to the porcelain Gods until I got him some, he was sooo sun sick. It is also great when kids get that summer flu. I always wondered why they don’t use this stuff on that ‘Deadliest Catch’ show to help them greenhorn folks…just a thought…anyway...works for chemo and aids patients too


So as you can see my mind goes on hundred directions at once…does it piss anyone else off that they have turned this lame child killer into a TV star…I understand she is Christian…can’t we just send her to meet St Peter early, because anyone who hurts children aint getting into heaven…at a time when teachers are being laid off, what up with this million dollar dog and pony show?


I guess I have been harping on education…my kids are grown and my grandchildren are well taken care of…so you wonder why…the kids in school today, 20 years from now will start running the place…it frightens me to think they will be dumber than a box of rocks…Dave has reminded me that schools must move forward…please help a teacher, a class, a school…money is cool, but time is better…nothing beats investing time in children...if all you can do is soup labels or those pencil point things please turn them into the front office at any school...Dale's neice gets mine for her class...I beg for every teacher in this country...they need help...1 good teacher at the start of life will keep several children out of trouble

May you all be blessed,

D

24 Days and Counting

I am glad you came to sit in the pool with me…it has been a helluva week in Muddville…relax, and I will fill you in…


I only saw 2 massage clients this week and worked with 3 clients on their respective menu/supplement choices…this left me with a good feeling on life…

School is on spring break and my new class starts tomorrow…’The Meaning of Health’…the title is interesting…I will fill you in on the class;)

I felt it is time for me to quit smoking cigarettes…I have now been tobacco free for 24 days…this is most of the reason I have been hiding out at home…breaking a 35 year addiction/ habit is in NO way easy…the Chantix made it much easier…though it still has been no joy ride…emotional is an understatement and my body has placed me in a few awkward situations

The Chantix makes it quite hard to focus…Chris and Rose have been supportive…lack of focus has made it quite hard to write…when I freewrite at the moment it comes out quite dark and twisted…not something anyone should see…vulgar and not in a good way…I feel frustrated, but I know this will pass with time…it is my body’s way of punishing me for taking away the tobacco

Since I have had alone time I have been able to get some reading done…I am part of the Amazon vine program…they sent me this book to write a review on…OMG, my friends…talk about AWESOME…if you are female and over age 35…there are just questions you always wished you could ask…the name of the book is ‘A Chronicle of Death, Life, and Vegetables’ by Joan Dye Gussow…she is very direct and very funny with a great deal of wisdom mixed in…so very much worth the read…truly amazing woman and all I am left with is how humble she really is

Mellissa and the lawn have been keeping me out in the yard…her husband has been a big help…the deep breathing has been helping greatly keeping me going…the end product is a beautiful garden…I have been fighting a cloud in the pool…the ph is correct…the chlorine count is good…it is this fine particles the pool is cleaning out of the air in my yard…I have tried a few old tricks before I rush out to try chemicals…

A long time family friend, Mary Folan of Norwood, MA passed away. She was a great woman and I lucky to have known her. She will be survived by her daughter Kathleen. Any of us should be so blessed with such a child.

Walter is now on a 12 on/12 off schedule…we are now trying to readjust our schedule at home…there have been a few bumps in the road, but we are getting used to it

I went out baby shopping for all our newborns in the Circle…I am excited…I shipped the packages to England and Chicago…I am putting the local ones together to deliver…I also sent a movie night out to North Carolina…I feel it is the closest I will get Tris to celebrate Beltane

I hope you are blessed and all is well…
