Hello everyone,
It's Saturday. I hope everyone is having a good day!! Alice, your sure in high spirits:D Good for you!!
I hope everyone checks in...Teddie, Chris, Pat, Lee, Stacy...Did I miss anyone?
You all remember I was having back pain and temporarily went back on the patch. Well, my pain has diminished and I stopped using them.
The tox screen came back on Michael Jackson. I believe he tested positive for Dalmane, and Ativan.....also Diprivan. Diprivan is used in surgery...only. I can't imagine who gave him this drug. It is ONLY supposed to be used in a surgical setting where life support equipment is available. I can't believe Diprivan was even prescribed. I've never heard of it being used outside of a hospital setting. I was given Diprivan when I had ear surgery...by a qualified anesthesiologist. I was intubated. What's the saying about drug and alcohol abuse? You either wind up dead or in prison. I am very sorry for his children.
Well, the state fair is over, Thank God. There were fire works every night between 9 amd 11PM....and I could hear them. I was not happy about it as it seemed to go on for a long time. I didn't go to the fair as it seems to be the same old, same old. There's always two things you can count on during the state fair. Rain and tornadoes...and we had both.
My mother and BF are having the kitchen re-done. New floor, cabinets, sink and new counters. It'a costing a lot of money. I know cabinets are expensive. It's turning into a 3 week to 1 month ordeal. My mother has been cooking with an electric skillet, either in the garage or the basement plus, they have been eating out a lot...which their very tired of doing.
It is a beautifully quiet day today. I can sure tell that the kids are back in school. I can't even hear a bird chirp....what serenity!!

Employment still seems to be tight as ever despite the so called "stimulus package" IMHO, it is not working. I know the last time I had to call about my computer, my call was routed to India....I don't hate Indians but these should be American jobs.
I think these so called free trade agreements are what's really to blame. I think it's time to scrap them.....and if necessary, we should become protectionist....I cringe when my mother takes me to wal-mart......only because I know. It seems as though despite record profits, they can't even offer employees medical coverage. If they don't pay in this life, they'll pay in the next. What's that saying? What goes around comes around.
I was going to cut the grass today but it started raining. It's a light rain and I hope it stops soon. I waited to long and it's really gotten high. I have some blockage in my lower legs and it's a real struggle to get out and mow. I've had a couple kids stop by....wanting to cut the grass but I don't keep any cash around.....and they looked much to young to be operating a lawn mower. I'm afraid they will get injured.
I am so glad that I don't drink any more. I don't miss the hangovers, I don't miss wondering if I'll get pulled over or not. I like having a clear mind!! When I was younger, I smoked pot also. I became paranoid, my heart raced and it lowered my body temperature. I will never smoke it again. I don't know about peer pressure but everyone around me was smoking....so I did to. How stupid I was.
For chemo, glaucoma and pain........well, if it works for you and you don't have side effects and nothing else works....then by all means, use it. It's just not for me. Some people with MS smoke marijuana. I read a post on MS. The person said, just take 1 or 2 hits. Don't smoke a whole joint. I know people say it's natural....but so is poison ivy.
I read an article about cocaine. It seems that when you share you can get HIV. Apparently, when you snort, minute blood droplets get in the straw people use. It is then passed on to the next person. A very good reason not to snort cocaine. It also causes heart damage.
Thanks for listening......and have a wonderful day!!
