What is it?

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Welcome back!

There is a phrase that I was curious about - Bell Vortex.

I looked it up and what did I find? Well, that is the question is it not. Was it a vortex? A Vortex happens to be another name for a whirlwind or tornado. Was it a water spot?

Well, I found out that they sells things to help bikers. If you are a biker, you should wear something like what they sell. If you are curious about what it is, check out the link that is listed above. :)

I know, I am being a smart alec.

Invisible Hydrant

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

I thought that all across our nation, it was not approved to park within 15 feet of any water hydrant.

It seems that in our neighborhood, the locals do not consider it reasonable to leave the hydrant free of parking cars, trucks, and vans. I had thought that people had learned not to park there when the American Legion building caught fire and the fire department threatened to move a car out of the way by using the fire truck.

Evidently not.

Safety - Awareness

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

I copied this from an e-mail that was sent by a true friend.

All,
The following is a ‘cut and paste’ from a message sent by a retired policeman friend.
WRITTEN BY A COP. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.

Take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one’s life.

In daylight hours, refresh yourself
of these things to do
in an emergency situation…
This is for you,
And for you to share
with your wife,
your children,
everyone you know.
After reading these 9 crucial tips,
forward them to someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point
on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!
2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you….
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse..
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.
DON’T DO THIS!)
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..

If someone
is in the car
with a gun
to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine
and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you,
look into your car,
at the passenger side floor ,
and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car
parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side… If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a
guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked ‘for help’ into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird…. The police told her
‘Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door..’
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, ‘We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.’
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby.. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby’s cries outside their doors
when they’re home alone at night.

10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your
outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors!
Please pass this on
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America ’s Most Wanted when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana

I’d like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life.. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..
I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.,
you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it
and it’s better to be safe than sorry..
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or
a loved one’s life

Miracle

Friday, May 27th, 2011

Mom told my husband and I that she now has a new nickname at the Hospice where she’d been staying.

They call her the “79 year old miracle baby”. Right now she is at a nearby rehabilitation center getting rehabbed for possible return to her home. :)

She lives

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

My mother-in-law still lives. Today she is going to be transferred to a nursing home for rehabilitation.

Big change from expecting her to be dead by the fifteenth.

Time will now tell whether or not she can build back her strength to be able to stay at her own place. The people at the hospice call her a ‘79 year old miracle baby’. :)

Remember the vulture?

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Remember that I had mentioned feeling like a vulture in my previous article?

Some of the things that have happened kind of give me that feeling. She has decided to give some of her stuff away before she dies so that she can decide who gets specific things. She wanted me to have her beading supplies since she knows that I have made many things from beads in the past before.

I wish that this wasn’t needed. I would rather have her, alive and healthy. As it is, time is the only thing ahead right now. She is ready to leave, and is looking forward to seeing family members that have gone ahead of her. A lot of family members have been calling her and talked to her about places and people. I am glad that they called, the time to talk to her is now, before she is gone.

The one thing among many that helps us to let go of her is that she knows Jesus. The other main thing is that she won’t hurt any longer.

It still hurts us, but soon she won’t hurt any longer.

Gonna Need

Friday, May 13th, 2011

I have a feeling that I am gonna need someone like a Brooklyn Accident Attorney, or even a good defense attorney.

My brother-in-law, who shall remain outside of my home and other places has decided that he is going to be a pain in the assets. Just for my thought alone, I might need that attorney. Let me just say that they are not to be made out loud.

Mom’s bills have been something that I have had to take care or for a while now (make that months), since she kept forgetting them. I would come over to her apartment, make out the checks, sign, and then mail them to make sure the bills were paid.

Because of her going into the hospice, the thought that her account might get frozen at the time of her death, I got out a big portion of what she had in there. I left enough to take care of the bills that would come out by automatic draft. I have paid out quite a lot of that money for her bills and I thank God that I have receipts for them. Dearest brother-in-law all of a sudden decided that he wants to keep track of her money and did not even ask why this was done and jumped to bad ideas. The money that has not been spent on her needs, bills, and expenses will be put back in tomorrow. Let him take care of her checking account and her bills, NOW.

I am very glad to let him have the hassle, and to wash my hands of him and other things. We will still try to keep contact with her in spite of HIM. I actually wish him luck in dealing with the financial end. I will not sign any more of her checks for her. He can take care of it. :)

5-18-11UPDATE He apologized to my husband, not to the one accused of being the thief. He has refused to handle the account, so I am stuck with it. Mom does not need any drama right now, I am keeping my peace. It is very tough and emotionally draining. I am trying to support my husband through this pain of loss, and trying to keep things in order. I feel that I have aged considerably in the last few weeks.

Safe driving?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

I used to go onto the highway. Not very much anymore.

I have gotten tired of seeing those idiots who consider their phone conversation to be more important that anyone else’s life. If you are reporting an emergency, I can see it.

But holding onto your phone while driving and talking puts your head at a weird position, messes up your vision, and in general proves that you are not driving safely.

I have followed people who swerved all over the road while putting make-up, reading maps, talking on the phone, looking for something on the floor,……

I guess that you get the picture. I do not like them to be beside me because of the swerving. I do not like them behind me because they will not know when I have to stop.

At least if they are in front, I can swerve myself and avoid a wreck so I can be a witness for the other guy who was driving safely and just happened to get hit by an idiot.

I guess I can’t be any plainer that that.

Help is needed

Saturday, February 12th, 2011

A family just lost a 3 month old baby boy named Angel Nelson.

His family needs help. They do not have the plot to bury him.

He is at Heartfield Funeral Home 503 N Main Street
Belton, TX. 76513 (254) 939-2411

If you are able to help this family it would be wonderful. Angel’s full name is Angel Nelson, he was only 3 months old. His sister (twin) is still alive and is in need of prayer for recovery.

If you are able to help, that would be wonderful.

Something Serious

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

Mesothelioma is a serious word that denotes a very serious condition.

I have Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, Obesity, Sleep Apnea, and know of other things that could happen. Mesothelioma is not something to be taken lightly. If you need help, only prof3essional help will do.

So far, I do not know of someone personally who has this. I have friends and family who have experiences colon cancer, throat cancer, pneumonia, heart failure and other stuff. So far most of them have survived. If you go to the link that I put in the top of my article, there is information that you can read.

Most important of all, talk to your doctor.
