Doooooooooo'h BACK TO CARDIOLOGIST IN AM



Let's don't get all caught up in our web of deceit, waiting to be devoured by the Evils that be!





























AH HA,

Now it seems that Mr Cardiologist did NOT want me to go back to work so fast after all. That's why I called his office and questioned his Nurse about it. But she said definitely, he wanted me to go back to full 12's. (I DON"T THINK SHE CHECKED WITH HIM!!!!!!!) So I went back dutifully....to even our Urgent Care Doc's saying what are you doing here???????? and left early and have been Short of Breath and asleep since Monday at 7:30 pm!

Me thinks somebody's' hiney's in trouble! Either way I'm going to see; get this, my Cardiologists partner!!!!!! He didn't do the stent or see me in the hospital twice!!!. Sounds like they just want to cover their butts. . They are a good group and will ultimately do me right. My Cardiologist said something about having to change work and he would give me a letter or whatever, so that's what promted the phone call to the office initially. I wanted to be sure things hadn't changed since the visit before the Cath: THEY HAD! Anyway- it's not about all that.

What it's all about, is Alfie!. The bottom line is that I need to take responsibility and step up and take care of myself. A giant Employer will only care so far, and then you are a number. A statistic. As soon as you become someone to replace, or have to get people to cover for you, you stop being that great employee that has given 5 years of excellent work ethics to them, most times when you were too sick to come in. We've all worked with a "touch" of pneumonia, what the heck! Or gone back early with a stent. They care initially, don't get me wrong, but after all, there is a MEGA Business to run as well. Which is why I PURCHASED a Short and LONG TERN DISABILITY policy they offered in case something happened. WELL_ SOMETHING HAPPENED!!!!!!!

I am the last person in the world that believes in letting the system do for them. I have always pulled my own weight. But this time, when I'm trying to take care of myself, do you think it's available for me? And I've paid into that disability fund for 5 years! I PURCHASED it just in case something like this happened.

Well, maybe I'm supposed to go through it so I can help others navigate the system when it's their turn. We just now straightened out our Rx insurance fiasco where they were not filing our initial prescriptions and wanting us to pay the deductible AND the C0-pay. WE DID THE WORK TO FIX IT!!!!!!! I THINK THIS IS GOING TO THE TV STATION_ this bordered on fraud, and definitely was Negligent on their part. If you are not careful, and a lot of our seniors aren't sure what's going on, they will steal them blind. Please read up on your policies, and then check on Gramma and Gramps and Great Uncle Louis. Esp. if you know that they don't have immediate family.

All I am saying America and friends, is let's cover one another' s backs. If the Taliban and powers that be wanna screw with the good 'ol USA, let's regroup, and take back our dignity and world dominance. Let's get that John Wayne American Cowboy swagger back that we are known for, and quit selling our souls to the Devils of Yammamoto, Chin and Abdullamad!!!!! Let's keep our chit that was made in America, IN AMERICA.

Wow, you can tell when I've had too much sleep and nothing to do! But dang it guys, we need to rethink our morals, values, traditions, etc. We need to get back to basics: of Family reunion's (yes-especially if they are fractured).....adult up and show kids you can get along after not getting along!) Little League Baseball, Soccer, PTA meetings, and County Council meetingsand yes even CHURCH meetings, where most of the communities business should be done anyway. At least Church is a common ground where we can agree to agree MOST of the time! It's not always about being RIGHT---it's about being the BEST we can be with what we got, and working on better from there!

Anyway, I hope my visit comes out OK and I can see what type of work I'll be able to do in the long haul. Eventually, I know it's teaching, so I have to get my resume to that Certificate School for Medical Assistant's where I can teach Lab, Anatomy and Medical terminology. Pray as usual God's Ultimate will is done to advance His Kingdom and not John's agenda.

Love ya,

HEART TO HEART!



THANK GOD FOR STENTS!
I'm so blessed to have another day- we never know when it could be our last....


I Recently had another Stint in the Hospital. I went in Thursday morning at 7:30 and had an open Right Coronary Artery by 8:15!. Since they had to put in a stent (This was to re-open the same area I had a stent placed in in 2007), so I had to stay overnight! I'm home now, Friday about 1:00 pm., the computer is working and all is right with the world.

This is time for a serious life-style change. You don't get away with this twice and thumb your nose at another chance. I have to accept the responsibility of a grown-up [ GROAN-UP] and eat red tips and bark for the rest of my life. Granola and passing Gas- these are a few of my favorite things! I do believe Moderation is the key,- I don't know if the key will start or open anything, but I believe it's a key nonetheless. So if anyone has any good info on a good anti-oxidant wine, (reasonable price range- aged on the truck!) Tuesday was a good day this week! I would welcome some suggestions. I do not like a Bite back red wine- I do know that. I seem to prefer the lighter fruitier type, but I haven't tried that many. -( serious about the suggestions, sites, info, etc.)

I do remember Boone's Farm Strawberry hill made me puke in the 9th grade-LOL. OK, I'll quit Wineing now. Boy I missed writing these crappy puns. And I'm still going to try and construct Picture puzzles. I'll put up several snapshots from aroubd the yard and see if any catch phrases can be uncovered. May do some Movie titles and I'll try to make them interesting and challenging. Maybe it'll be the next Suduko.

Thanks to all for you thoughts and Prayers.

A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS








WOULDN'T THIS MAKE A GREAT JIGSAW PUZZLE? JUST FOR A MOMENT THERE YOU'RE LIKE- WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? THAT'S JUST HOPE DOING ONE OF THE THINGS DADDY LOVES. COURSE MY WIFE POPS ME WITH A NEWSPAPER EVERY
TIME SHE CATCHES ME. (This is not one of the stories- although it may work as a stand in- in a rushed week!)

AS A MATTER OF FACT IT JUST DID! I PRESENT: THE FIRST EVER FULL-ON FORWARD PICTURE TELLING EVENT, STORY BOARD, THINGY--- starring Sandra Bullock in

HOPE LICKS

I sure wish I had made that up. Not the pic and stuff, I did, I mean the Picture is Worth a Thousand..thing. In fact I wish I had done a million things differently. I guess we all do huh. Well one thing Im going to do is to start telling little stories using pics and captions. No new concept- some call it Cinema-LOL. But mine initially will be stills......Some will have a message, some will be easy, some you will have to streeeeeectch to get, but all: I HOPE, will be slightly amusing and worth stopping by for a glance. This will be a work in progress. SoNetines I will splAin de concept- sontines i won splain. And YES_)---------IF you read it with the proper accent, or in the proper contecXXt: it MAY MEAN little more. More or less. There will be a lot of music references----(and music when I can figure out how to get .wav files embedded;) retro, fads, good ole day referrals, etc. intertwined in these vignettes de Pixzelartema!

It is one of a million ways we are all looking to express ourselves while capturing especially poignant moments in life that we are experiencing or going through. I hope maybe I'll just make you pause and question something, look at something from a new perspective, or just say- WTF?????



Come along, there's no hurry, no pace, no time schedule-no rules, no race. I will definitely try to keep it in the bounds of family oriented, but if not- I will give a disclaimer- like:

Look out a DICK!!!!

Let's just see what happens shall we? I don't know a lot about em-bedded movies, audio and players yet- so any help or shortcuts would be appreciated if you see me doing something over and over that could save me a lot of time.

Let's all have a GREAT WEEK- or at least SHOOT for one shall we?????

Professor is a Genius

If ANYONE is unable to understand THIS explanation, I have serious doubts about their ability to even function in society, much less run our country!

As the late Adrian Rogers said, "you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."





An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once failed an entire class.

--------------------------------------------

That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.







Spider - Government
Web - Government Plan ("not to be "confused" with Socialized Medicine"!)
Small White wrapped up dead thing (not shown)- US, Meal, Sick person, Health Care Group- waiting 6 months for a Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Surgery) that should have been done while the patient was doubled over in pain with a fever of 103 degrees, but was delayed under Obamas' plan that said you had to wait, you couldn't go to that Hospital, pick that Doctor or had it done then because you must wait until the ACUTE PHASE of the ATTACK is over prior to surgery. Is it hurting ow? NO???? OK---No surgery, you must wait until it flairs up again....we have sicker people we must take care of.......Next!

I'm not sayin'.............I'm just sayin................READ ON for better explanation


The professor then said, "OK,
we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".



All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.


After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.


As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.


When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased.......... as bickering, blame and name-calling, all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.


All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.


Could not be any simpler than that.

NOW THAT FOOTBALL SEASONS OVER, IT'S NUTTIN BUT NASCAR, NASCAR, NASCAR:
HOW MANY LEFT TURNS CAN A GUY MAKE????




A POEM, BY JOHN: (I'LL KEEP MY DAY JOB)




WE ARE SO BLESSED
TO LIVE IN THIS MESS, EVEN THOUGH
WE BITCH, COMPLAIN AND MOAN:

BUT I CANNOT EVER IMAGINE
IN MY WILDEST DREAMS
NOT CALLING AMERICA HOME!

GOD, MORE THAN EVER-

TO PLEASE BLESS AMERICA,
EVEN (ESPECIALLY) IN OUR SIN.
FOR MAYBE ONE DAY SOON,
WE'LL RETURN TO YOU;
AND BE PROSPEROUS AND UNITED AGAIN!

MORE TWISTED HUMOR? NO ADULT WARNING- SORRY!

EAT DE WILDE BEAST- THERE'S MORE MEAT!

OHHHH....THANK YOU....GO GATORS



THINK YOU HAD A BAD DAY!!!????



OK, things Got Ya Down? Well Then, Consider These . . .


In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed,
on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am, regardless of their medical condition.
This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with
the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths
occurred around 11:00 am Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was
assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday
morning, a few minutes before 11:00 am all of the doctors and nurses
nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible
phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books,
and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits. Just when the clock
struck 11:00 , Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper , entered the
ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum
cleaner.


The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez Oil spill
in Alaska was $80,000.00. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively
saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and
applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate
them both.


STILL HAVING A BAD DAY???


A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically,
almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist
towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly
current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two
places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.


Two animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a
slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany . Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke
loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two helpless
protesters were trampled to death.


Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It
came back with 'Return to Sender' stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb,
he opened it and was blown to bits. God is Good!

There now, Feeling Better?
