Twisted Evil Bet that got your attention, didn't it...LMBO! Twisted Evil

Evil or Very Mad Looking for love in all of the wrong places maybe? Evil or Very Mad

Just some sites I wanted to share with all of you.
But, I did not know where to post them, so...
decided to put them in a blog.
I will add more in posts as I find them.
This is basically how I spend my time on the computer anymore.
Reading, reading, and more reading. Laughing
Oh, I still play games occasionally.
Wish I could play some of the games here,
but most don't work for me some reason...

First one is this site...
Lots of interesting things to read there.
Look to the list on the right.
Those are all links.
Just click on whatever link you want.


http://www.oddthingsiveseen.com/2009/09/betty-and-barney-hill-abduction-part-i.html

Now this one, I am sharing because this mans artwork is amazing.
Or I think so anyways...


http://www.metro.co.uk/news/newsfocus/article.html?Artists_paint_prison_life_in_a_new_light&in_article_id=771611&in_page_id=65

Now this one I added just because its odd...
Someone had a bit too much time on their hands,
and a bit too much money to waste away. Laughing


http://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/81746/the-world-s-most-expensive-toilets.aspx

Now this one I added cause I thought it was awesome. Laughing

Ummm why did it post twice?
The screen kept jumping while I was typing it.
Do you think that had something to do with it maybe?

Well, I'm headed to bed now... Sleep

I think I have just had the two lousiest days I have had in a long time.
Yesterday evening, I called my oldest son, because it was his birthday.
Know what the Air Force did for his birthday?
They told him he is being deployed December 21st of this year.
And did not even tell my son where they were sending him.
Then, at 5 am this morning, I got a phone call from my youngest sister Debbie.
My niece (her daughter), died this morning at 3 am.
She had a seizure, and bit her tongue, and choked to death on her own blood.
Now I ask you, is that two fucked up days or what...
They have a word for you if you lose a spouse, a widow or widower.
They have a word for you if you lose your parents, your an orphan.
But there is no word to describe the horror of losing your child...

I am headed to bed early tonight, two emotionally exhausting days is enough for me thank you.
I love you all bunches.
I am sending each and every one of you a hug right now.

I have been trying to call my sister Debbie for two days and have not been able to get hold of her.
I know she's okay...
I just wanted her to know I'm with her in spirit, cuz I cannot be there in person.

Thank you for calling me today Liz.
I really enjoyed talking with you.
Did you find what you were looking for in the Mall?
Hope so...

My nieces funeral is tomorrow at 1:00.
I told my sister that I would be hugging her then.
Boy, there must have been at least 70 people in her house when I called...

It occurred to me yesterday that my life seems to be very dramatic.
It has not always been this way.
My life, has always been boring and uneventful, until lately.
I am not and never was a drama queen.
God just seems to have a really fucked up agenda for my family lately.
For whatever reason it is, I will deal with it one day at a time.
And if needed, by moment.
You guys are my rock. My stability, whatever you wish to call it.
You are all so very important to me.
I love you all.

All Is Well

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They are not dead,
Who leave us this great heritage of remembering joy.

They still live in our hearts,
In the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.

They still breathe,
In the lingering fragrance, windblown, from their favourite flowers.

They still smile in the moonlight's silver
And laugh in the sunlight's sparking gold.

They still speak in the echoes of words we've heard them say again and again.

They still move, In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches.

They are not dead:
Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.

They are not apart from us, but part of us.

For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

High Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of; wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air;
Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark nor even eagle flew;
And while, with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Indian Prayer

When I am dead
Cry for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much.
Think of me now and again
As I was in life
At some moments it's pleasant to recall
But not for long.
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today...
While thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you...
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me, too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name
and took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready
in heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miss Me, But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little -- but not for long
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone,
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
So when you're lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know,
Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.


(I do not know the authors)

These poems have always given me comfort when there is a death of someone I love.
I am going to send them to my sister, in hopes of them helping her as well.

Thank you for calling me Red.
I really enjoyed talking with you, and hearing your children's voices.
They always bring a smile to my face. I love to hear them.

(((HUGS))) to you all


I edited it because I had not realized I posted the same poem twice...

It was great talking with you also, as it always is. I'm just sorry I called at such a bad time and had no clue what was going on. I'm sending you big hugs, hoping you are getting them!

I'll be keeping you and the family in my prayers.

Tomorrow I go to the Pain Clinic to have a test
done on my back to see if I am a good candidate for RFL.
Radio Frequency Lesioning is a procedure using a specialized
machine to interrupt nerve conduction on a
semi-permanent basis. The nerves are usually
blocked for 6-9 months
(can be as short as 3 months or as long at 18 months).
I will more then likely be a good candidate,
as I had this done once before. For me, it lasted about
6 months. This is for my lower back pain.
So cross your fingers for me guys.
This means less pills for me to take. Whoopee!

Maiden,
I didn't realize you had a blog here. Yeah!!!Glad to see you using it. So sorry for your loss. I have to agree with Redd one word for the loss of a child is mournful but I think devastated would be closer to the mark. I can' t imagine not having my children.
Thank you for sharing the links & the poems.
I enjoyed talking to you as well. I want to come visit you sometime. I think about you often.
I hope the nerve treatment went through as you said you would be in less pain.
What games aren't working for you?

huggers & (((squeeze you)))

Ramblings Of A Madwoman 671



CROSSING OVER


I have crossed over and into the light
But rest assured
You'll never be far from my sight
You'll see me in the morning sun
I'll be the little ray of sunshine touching your face
When you walk at night
You'll see the moon
That little beam lighting your way
That will be me, saying :
HEY!!!!!
AUNTIE LYNDA
I'M OK

I talked to my sister Debbie yesterday.
She's doing better then I would be if that would have been my child.
She said what would be the point, it would not bring her back.
She's right of course, but...
At least my niece did not have to suffer.
She was asleep when she had the seizure, so she did not know what was going on.
Thank God for that.
I was having nightmares every night except for last night, since she passed away.
I know what it was, I was scared for Jesse, because he has the same sort of seizures.
Well, he went to the VA Hospital (Mellisa called me on her cell from the parking lot.)
So, he has his medicine now. I was worried that he would run out and have a seizure.
I did not realize how worried about him that I actually was.

I had the RFL done on the right side of my back yesterday.
It was a success. No pain in my lower right back.
I go back in two weeks to have the left side done.
I need to have my hernia checked out again.
Yes, its back. Hopefully I won't have to have surgery to get it fixed.
Kinda scared about that. But if I have to, I have to.

Was headed to bed, but wanted to stop in here first to say hey.
Love you all bunches.

Isn't that tree beautiful?
Its a crab apple...
I am thinking of making my own tree like that.
Not sure how you go about decorating the top though...
I think it would be awesome to have one in my yard.

Oh and all of you are welcome to come visit anytime.
I just hope the weather is right so we can have a BBQ or a fish fry while you all are here.
Not sure where everyone will sleep, hey, maybe we can put nails in the walls to hang you from while you sleep. LMBO!
I really would enjoy that visit too.
I look forward to giving you all the hugs that I can.
Ask Melissa, I love to hug!
I am also the same person here at home, as I am on the computer.
Don't know why people try to pretend to be something their not.
Stupid if you ask me...

Have not heard anything more from David as to where he is being deployed.
Either he does not know yet, or he cannot tell me.
Last times he told me he was being somewhere in Southeast Asia.
So, I am assuming I will be told that again.
When he gets where he's supposed to be, he can tell me where he is.
I will let you all know, soon as I find something out, ok?
Love you all bunches!

Maiden,
It's understandable that you were having nightmares. I would be too in your shoes. Glad to hear the procedure went well. Hope the next one does as well. Could the hernia be from the constant back pain?
Will keep David in my prayers & hope that he stays safe. Also hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, Redd & I are the same. Same here as in real life. Who has the energy to pretend,lol. We're so busy with the children most of the time that we have little time for anything else.

Loving you muches

Had chemo today.
I had a problem with my hands and feet, caused by the chemo.
They told me I had this...

Hand-Foot Syndrome
Other terms: Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia; PPE

What is hand-foot syndrome?

Also called hand-foot syndrome or hand-to-foot syndrome, Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia is a side effect, which can occur with several types of chemotherapy or biologic therapy drugs used to treat cancer. For example, Capecitabine (Xeloda®️), 5-Flurouracil (5FU), continuous-infusion doxorubicin, doxorubicin liposomal (Doxil®️), and high-dose Interleukin-2 can cause this skin reaction for some patients. Following administration of chemotherapy, small amounts of drug leak out of very small blood vessels called capillaries in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Exposure of your hands and feet to heat as well as friction on your palms and soles increases the amount of drug in the capillaries and increases the amount of drug leakage. This leakage of drug results in redness, tenderness, and possibly peeling of the palms and soles. The redness, also known as palmar-plantar erythema, looks like sunburn. The areas affected can become dry and peel, with numbness or tingling developing. Hand-foot syndrome can be uncomfortable and can interfere with your ability to carry out normal activities.


Things you can do if you suspect hand-foot syndrome (Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia):

Prevention: Prevention is very important in trying to reduce the development of hand-foot syndrome. Actions taken to prevent hand-foot syndrome will help reduce the severity of symptoms should they develop.

This involves modifying some of your normal daily activities to reduce friction and heat exposure to your hands and feet for a period of time following treatment (approximately one week after IV medication, much as possible during the time you are taking oral (by mouth) medication such as capcitabine).
Avoid long exposure of hands and feet to hot water such as washing dishes, long showers, or tub baths.
Short showers in tepid water will reduce exposure of the soles of your feet to the drug.
Dishwashing gloves should not be worn, as the rubber will hold heat against your palms.
Avoid increased pressure on the soles of the feet or palms of hands.
No jogging, aerobics, power walking, jumping - avoid long days of walking.
You should also avoid using garden tools, household tools such as screwdrivers, and other tasks where you are squeezing your hand on a hard surface.
Using knives to chop food may also cause excessive pressure and friction on your palms.

Cooling procedures:

Cold may provide temporary relief for pain and tenderness caused by hand-foot syndrome.
Placing the palms or bottoms of your feet on an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas may be very comforting. Alternate on and off for 15-20 minutes at a time.
Lotions:

Rubbing lotion on your palms and soles should be avoided during the same period, although keeping these areas moist is very important between treatments.
Emollients such as Aveeno®️, Lubriderm®️, Udder Cream®️, and Bag Balm®️ provide excellent moisturizing to your hands and feet.
Pain relief:

Over the counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®️) may be helpful to relieve discomfort associated with hand-foot syndrome. Check with your doctor.
Vitamins:

Taking Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) may be beneficial to preventing and treating Plantar-Palmar Erythrodysesthesia, and should be discussed with your doctor.
Drugs/treatment changes that may be prescribed by your doctor:

Chemotherapy treatments may need to be interrupted or the dose adjusted to prevent worsening of hand-foot syndrome.
When to call your doctor or health care professional:

If you notice that your palms or soles become red or tender. This most often occurs before any peeling, and recommendations for relief of discomfort can be given. If you are on chemotherapy pills, you may be asked to hold treatment, or need your dose adjusted to prevent worsening of symptoms.


I got this info from a web-site they told me to log into.
The doctor had already mentioned the B6 today.
Plus he wants me to use a certain type of lotion
after the first week is over after having chemo.
Ain't life grand?
Actually, it is. Especially if I think of the other option...
Doing to keep from mildewing here!
I'm headed to bed to lie down, I'm beat.
This time I did not sleep through chemo because of the Benadryl, thats why I'm so tired right now.
Love you all bunches!
