Boy O Boy!

This is more of a vent than a post. lol But I can't help it. I am so aggravated!

My husband has been having problems with his back. Ok they did an MRI on him and found he has arthritis in his lower right back side. Well, it hurts, unbelievably hurts him daily. They gave him pain pills that really don't kill the pain and they gave him muscle relaxers and all that does is MAKE HIM SLEEP! This is the vent part!

I'm so tired of him sleeping! I asked him nicely to stop taking the muscle relaxers and he did. Today, he took one! He knocked out for 6 hours and I finally got him up to take his BP meds and eat something and he said he just wants to lay back down and go back to sleep! I thought meds were suppose to help you get better, not knock you out!

He doesn't go back to the dr until next month, I'm making the appointment for the beginning of November so we don't have to play this game any more! I want a referral to a dr who specializes in arthritis. I'm guessing he has Rheumatoid or Fibro. Just because he has other symptoms that point in both those ways. All the dr said the MRI said was arthritis, so when I point out his other problems and ask her if they could be related to one of those, I hope she says yes! My neighbor thinks he has Rheumatoid, I think it's possible Fibro.

Casey Anthony Not Guilty Verdict!

Updated 7/6/11
Help Create Caylee's Law by signing this petition
http://www.change.org/petitions/create-caylees-law

Casey Anthony has been found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. The jury declined to convict her of either first degree murder or manslaughter.

Not Guilty of Aggravated Child Abuse!
Guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement!

How in the hell did they get this verdict? She killed that baby! Did the duck tape just fall & stick on that child 3 times? I've got tears because that little precious girl deserved justice!

Prosecutor Jeff Ashton, who had entered the courtroom to roaring applause, sat shaking his head after the verdict.

Outside the courtroom, spectators screamed "Lord!" as the learned of the not guilty ruling.

Nancy Grace commented that this BITCH may be out of jail by Thursday! No jail time, time served!

This is a slap on the wrist! I'm so pissed off about this. I didn't watch the court on TV, I already knew she was guilty, I think every mother knows this! Her own parents walked out the court room, they didn't stay to celebrate their daughter's not guilty verdict!

What Do You Do WIth A Broken Heart?

As all my readers know I lost my dog Duke on August 13th. I can't say our time apart has been easy, because it hasn't. Loosing him was just like loosing any family member I have lost. He was like my son.

My daughter called me last week and told me that one of the ladies (mom of a child she watches) at the daycare asked if she knew of anyone who wanted a puppy (Chow/Lab mixed like Duke), she has 8 all together to give away. My daughter thought of me and I talked with my husband about it and he said he'd think about it.

Well, I thought since he said he needed more time, he was considering it and was going to say yes, especially since he told me on Friday he was leaning towards NO, but could easily change his mind to yes. What a LEAD ON!

Today at lunch he told me he doesn't want a puppy. He doesn't want the hassle of training it. He doesn't want this or that! Never mind about ME and what I want! I understand that he is greiving too, but he doesn't seem to understand me and how I feel. He said we'd get one after the holidays, but that isn't good enough to me. This is a pup in Duke's breed and I want it!

I need a distraction, I need another animal to get my mind from thinking about Duke all the time! Dukes birthday is on the 20th of November and then there's Christmas and I really don't want to see the holidays. I don't want to go thru out Christmas stuff, I don't want to see Duke's ornament and stocking......It's going to be too hard!

What do you do with a broken heart? How do you get over it?

Man Is It Storming Today!

I'm trying my best to keep my mind occupied and the weather just isn't helping!

Duke and I had a special bond yes, I can blame it on weather! lol Duke hated thunder and lightening and I do too. The last storm we were in, Duke was right by me, not moving and shaking. I on the other hand was screaming at the thunder and got so scared of the lightening, I jumped over him and was ducking!

See that storm hit real close to my home! I heard the thunder hit something and I saw the reflection of the lightening on my keyboard. Duke was there for me even though he was just as scared.

Now for the passed 2 days it's been thundering and lightening and I just try to ignore it (I know that isn't good). He isn't here for me to hug and pet and talk to.

Just feeling the depression I guess. I'm doing better than I was last week (Thursday), but I still miss him, still cry for him, still hurt. We got a sympathy card from the vet staff and I couldn't read it. Brian had to remove it from my hands, as I was crying as I was trying to read it. The wound is still too fresh in my mind. I'm trying to work on the collage I want to make, but I don't think I can do it right now, for the reason of I cry. Maybe, hopefully next month I'll be ok enough to do what I want and not cry or feel miserable.

I wish the storm would end. My washer and dryer are on and I'm on the computer. I don't want either to break because of a storm.

Well, I guess I just needed to vent a little!

RIP My Angel Boy

Yesterday we had to do the hardest thing we've ever had to do.

We had to put Duke to sleep. I'm in tears writing this. I miss him so much.

He woke me up yesterday morning while Brian was in the shower. He tried to get up, but fell into the closet door. I just thought he lost his balance and was ok. I got out of bed and called him to me and he tried to walk, but still couldn't get his footing. So I ran to the bathroom to get Brian. After coaching we got him to walk out the room, but he was leaning on the dresser and the wall holding himself up. We got him outside and he fell and he kept trying, but he just couldn't walk. I was begging him to get up and walk, on my hands and knees in the wet grass.

He had the help me look in his eyes, but I just didn't know what to do and Brian told me it was time. We believe he had a stroke. For a few days, we couldn't get him to eat his food, but he'd eat our food. He was also laying in places he never did before including our bedroom when no one was in there.

Yesterday was a horrible day for us, I miss my baby and want him back! This picture was taken on August 5th

RIP My Angel (We miss and love you!)

Is Copying A Freebie considered a Copyright issue?? If so why?

I am a member of several yahoogroups. I've been a member of 1 group for a few years now and I thought I had made a few good friends. Well, this one person I thought was a friend is really pissing me off now.

Last night I simply wrote an email to my groups asking if anyone knew if posting a freebie on your blog/forum or whatever is a copyright violation. Now I'm asking about the freebie, not anything else.

You know I got several replies telling me not to worry about it that the person who complained had to have found the freebies from someplace before listing on their blog and it was not a copyright issue. I also had someone check my blog and told me I was not in any violations!

Well, this person on one of my groups is saying it is a copyright violation (she's the only one saying this) but she gets her freebies and sends them in as well! LOL

She just doesn't get it! She keeps telling me it's there work. lol I keep telling her we aren't talking about their work, their words, just the freebie itself! This was last night.

Today she writes back all pissy! Telling me I don't understand and she doesn't have time to sit and explain it. WTH??!!! LOL I'm not an idiot! I know what a copyright is!

This is what really pissed me off with her! She also tells me I can't blame anyone else for my stress. HELLO??!! Don't even go there! What I put in that email was that I couldn't get stressed and I was pissed. Didn't put the blame on anyone there!

So my question is could you stay friends with this person?? Could you stay in the same group with this person? I hate having to decide this, I really don't want to leave the group, but I just can't stay around this person any longer.

I just took one of my anxiety pills as my chest is starting to hurt again. I thought this person was a friend, but I find today, she really isn't.

Nothing Is Ever Right!

Do you ever feel that what ever you do, no matter how you do it, it's never right?

Well, let me tell you about this. I have turned this blog into my personal blog because I need to be able to release my stress from things.

Yesterday I had to go to the hospital and had all kinds of test done to find out that I was having an anxiety attack! Too much stress and the last thing I need is stress with doing something I LOVE to do!

Here it goes:
Today, I got an email from another blogger asking me not to copy. She started out her email with it has come to "her" attention, like she is the head honcho of blogging!

Ok this is a FREEBIE blogger! She finds freebies and list them on her blog! There are SEVERAL of these types of bloggers and I have one as well.

Anyway, if you can't copy the freebies, then why have the blog! Just because the freebie is listed on a certain blog does NOT in any way mean it is COPYRIGHTED! NOTHING is copyrighted unless you pay to have it copyrighted! If this was fact, do you know how many people would be in trouble for copy right infringement??

Do you know how many blogs/sites/yahoogroups there are for FREEBIES???!!!! PLENTY!!

Everyone finds the same freebies in one way or another, so this put a bit of stress on me and so I'm writing my feelings out about it.

It just depends on how you describe the item. Now if you take a sniplet and change the words, that's NOT copying and if I did copy, then I do apologize about that.

I ALWAYS give credit to the bloggers where I found it and their link so who ever reads it on my blog can also visit theirs! Also if a link isn't working on their site, I email them and tell them! I thought I was doing the right thing!

My problem is and I've been thinking about this a lot, I give credit to them and send visitors to their blogs, I have a yahoogroup with over 100 members who wouldn't know about these other blogs if not for me. lol They are also on my blogroll and I am NOT on theirs!

When I first started blogging (even now) and was asking for link exchanges or to be friends there was NO interest. I was told NO by one blogger, she didn't have room! WTH??!!

Why is it so important for other bloggers to stay in their little circle and not let anyone new in?? What is so wrong in helping a newbie?

I am in NO way trying to start trouble here, I just want to fully understand this and get rid of the stress I felt when I read that email. I mean she was nice, don't get me wrong, but still, if any bloggers have a problem with me or anyone else, why not step up and say something themselves?

7 Online Copyright Myths
“As long as I note the author’s name, I can use their site’s content on my site.” Although you are being nice and giving credit where credit is due, you still need to ask the author’s permission to post their work on your site. The author may not want their information posted anywhere off their own site or they many not approve of your site as a venue for their information - that is their choice to make not yours. Just because you choose to give credit doesn’t give you permission. Always ask a site owner if you can use their content before you put it on your site. http://www.theistudio.com/muse/7-online-copyright-myths/

Now this is for copying their work, not freebies, freebies are listed all over the internet and if that is copyright infringement, then everyone should stop sending them to groups and posting them to blogs and telling everyone they know about it!

Also I haven't picked any freebies from this blogger in a while. lol

Picky Picky Picky

Have you ever wondered what makes a person so picky? I do a lot!

I have been with the same man for 26 yrs, we recently got married (5/22/09) and I just can't tell you how picky he has become. lol I thought it was suppose to be women who were picky, but he is worse than me!

For Instance:
I have plants that are suppose to be outside, but our temperatures have been topping at 100 and they started to wilt, so I took them inside. I brought them to the sink and rinsed off the bottom and side of the pots (I have one of those hose sprayers on my faucet). I took a towel and put it on the floor and then set the plants on the towel. Trust me when I say there were NO bugs on these pots.

The plants have been indoors for a few days now. Today, it was a rainy day, so I put ALL the plants back out to get fresh rain water and some air to help them grow. I have NOT brought them back inside, it is suppose to be the same way tomorrow, so I figure they'll be ok out there.

My husband just complained to me about the towel that is still on the floor! He thinks I should have taken it and shook it out becaue of the little microscopic bugs! HUH?? What bugs?? I take the plants and water them at my sink every evening (not over watering, just being sure they have it and the pots are clean). lol

This really urked me because I don't like bugs of any kind and for him to say that to me was really unfair.

Bill Payment Centers

Have you ever made a bill payment at a pay center? If so did you think that payment would go directly to your account?

Well, sometimes if the pay center is affiliated with that company, it will post directly to your account. Most of the time, they are not affiliated and it takes a few days for it to post.
I just found this out.

I made a payment on our water bill and cable bill at the pay center that is 3 blocks away from my home. Not knowing that this place is working for an independant company. The independant company picks up all payments and post them to your account. Talk about a pain in the butt!

I called the water company this morning to make sure they received the payment and told the woman I paid at a pay center and she informed me that they are not affiliated with pay centers, which got me very worried. So I called the pay center and he told me about the independant company contract.

My cable is the same way. I made a payment, I called and I spoke with someone in collections and guess what there was NOTHING she could do for me. All she did was put a notation on my account that I made a payment, when and what time. Hopefully that will keep my service on. She couldn't even give me an extension to give the payment time to get there. :(

So I wonder why they have these companies that do this? Why do they have pay centers if they are not there to help us and post our payments when we make them? I just don't understand this at all........I paid my bills, but they are still unpaid. Sounds so unreal.

So if you pay your bills at the pay center, please do yourself the favor and ask if it posts to your account from them or is it an independant contract? If it's independant, go to the company and pay it....save yourself the aggravation.

So confused........

Ok I am totally confused about the medical profession. I saw a dr. for disibility Thrusday, and she told me that what I was told I had (scoliosis), I don't have, or it isn't enough to make me hurt like I am hurting!

I had an accident in 2003, x-ray at hospital from there to the lawyer, who sent me to the doctor. x-ray there, treatment that didn't help. Sent to an orthopedic who x-rayed me and told me he found scoliosis! Treated me for 1 month and released me as there was nothing else they could do for me.

2005 I went to a chiroprator on a free visit thing I won. Was told my scoliosis got worse and he could not guarantee any treatment would help me. I did not get treatment with a no guarantee on any relief.

2008 tring to get disability as I have given up having any kind of regular life again. Dr. appointment today, x-ray and exam............Dr. say's she feels a small curve in my back, but not enough to cause all the PAIN I am having. Looks at x-ray, shows me the x-ray.........small curve, but not where my pain is!!!!!

She said the curve could be from the way I was standing or the way the machine was!!!!!

Recommedation was to go to a free hospital (university) and get an MRI to check for NERVE damage!!!!!!!! Now I ask you for 5 years (May 24 will make 5 years) NO ONE COULD MENTION NERVE DAMAGE!!!!!

I was in so much pain today and she could tell, as I was moving like I was pregnant SLOW!!!

So I tried to get intouch with my doctor on Friday, so I can get an appointment for him to refer me for an MRI and on my back to see what the heck is going on with me! Guess what, that was a PROBLEM. First the computer's were unavailable, then the lady put me on hold for too long and then they were CLOSED!! They close early on Friday!
So I have to try this again on Monday, praying I don't have as much of a problem.

So I get rid of one nerve problem (my back shribbling) to I don't know what is wrong! All I know is I am glad my back isn't rotting away from scoliosis and I just have to think positively that it is something treatable like a pinched nerve and I can be free of pain again.

I think they will decline me on disability, but if I can be pain free, I DON'T CARE about the disability, as I can do things like work again (maybe).

I have had a tiring 2 days dealing with this, I pray on Monday, I can put an end to this and make my appointment for the dr and get the MRI in process.

Wish me luck on this, I really would rather the pain leave, then to have disability.
