Looking on the positive side

 

“You have a choice. You can wring your hands and be consumed with
concern for the future or choose to use the counsel the Lord has given to
live with peace and happiness in a world awash with evil. If you choose to
concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see. . . . Now the
brighter side. Despite pockets of evil, the world overall is majestically
beautiful, filled with many good and sincere people. God has provided a way
to live in this world and not be contaminated by the degrading pressures
evil agents spread throughout it. You can live a virtuous, productive,
righteous life by following the plan of protection created by your Father
in Heaven: His plan of happiness.”

(Richard G. Scott, “How to Live Well amid Increasing Evil,” Ensign, May 2004, 100)

Wimpier than usual

 

I’m always a gimpy wimp, but I sure feel it right to my bones today! After calling my insurance company, I was still both shook up and exhausted. When I closed my eyes to sleep, I felt like I was falling and spiraling down. Creepy and it made me wicked nauseous. Too much excitement for me.

I’ve been sneezing, my eyes are watering and I have to blow my nose every few minutes. It must be a high pollen day. I take generic Claritin, but am good and allergic today. My tongue is so swollen that it does not fit right in my mouth. I’ve got sores on the tip of my tongue and down in my throat. It hurts to swallow and Judy says I look like I have the mumps.

Yup…I’m burning up, too. I’ve got my fans pointing at me.

Me and Zeke are OK, but my van isn’t :-(

 

I posted to my blog, then left for my doc appointment. I was near the hospital at 10:45 and thought I got hit by some loose gravel.  Well….there wasn’t any gravel, so I was puzzled. I got to the doc’s and parked and  I again heard the sound I thought was gravel. I walked over to the passenger side and my passenger side next-to-the-back window had a hole about a foot across ;-O

I went in the doc’s office and called 9-1-1. A police woman came and checked it out. She said the original hole was made by a pellet, bullet or BB. I did not understand the technical talk about “tenting”, but I guess I will look it up. She then took her mag light and busted out the rest of the window so no one would be hit by the pieces when I drove home.

The inside of my van is full of glass and the parking lot looks bad from all she poked out. All I could do was apologize to the doc’s office for the mess.

Guess what? Since I don’t have collision, I don’t have coverage for the window. Sigh….

Think that’s bad enough? The doc says I have one humongous gallstone filling up my gallbladder. It has to be taken out.

Want more? I got to Rhett’s house and there was a man there I will  call D, drunk out of his mind. There were two quart beer bottles wrapped in paper bags on the patio. The guy was swearing at the top of his lungs and acting very creepy and weird. I called some folks who are supposed to be somewhat responsible for D and gave Rhett the empty beer bottles for later discussion.

I hope nothing else too interesting or exciting happens today! 

How The Towers Fell

 

I just spent two hours watching a video about the buildings that fell during 9-11. I did not seek out this information, I was sent a link. I have been mildly interested in it all along and had some concerns. Just like chemtrails, if you talk about the fishiness of 9-11, you will be shouted down by many.

This video is from a group of architects and engineers and primarily talks about the structural issues. At the very end, other holes in the official explanation are mentioned. Very intriguing and thought provoking stuff.

Make sure you have a full two hours to really watch and pay attention.
