"Life Goes On" "POSSIBILITES"

"You can shed tears that they are gone, or you can smile because they have lived. You can close your eyes and pray that they'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all they've left. Your heart can be empty cause you can't see them, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember them and only that they are gone, or you can cherish their memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what they would want. Smile, Open Your Heart, Love Like Crazy, and Go On, because Life Does..."

"Life Without A CellPhone!!!"

Here is something else I got sent during this awful time of loosing my cat...It will get easier though, I just never had to do something like that before...



Hilarious! Growing up without a cell phone

If you are 36, or older, you might think this is hilarious!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways...yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!



But now that I'm over the ripe old age of forty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!

1) I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

2) There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

3) Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!

4) There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!

5) Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig?

6) We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!

7) There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOSH !!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.

8) And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

9) We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

10) You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?!

11) There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!

12) And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that!




13) And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!




And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!




See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970 or any time before!

Regards,
The Over 40 Crowd

My Cat Is An Angel Now...Nov. 20, 2003-Feb. 23,2011

Today I had to go and have my sweet cat put to sleep cause she was suffering so badly from liver cancer. Her skin had turned yellow all over, and she was sunken in and did nothing but just lay on my bed, and hardly move..It was killing me to have to see her like that, and it was an extremely difficult decision...I have never had to do that before, cause I have never had sick pets...They made me a paw print of her paws and gave it to me, and I buried her under my bedroom window here at home....It is so hard to accept the fact that she is gone, now, I keep thinking that she is just under my bed... I still have my other one, and she is just fine..I don't understand how my other cat got so sick like that...I think she was so overly nervous about so many things, moving here, the rotten dogs that wouldnt' leave us alone, that she was just all jittery on the inside and it finally took its toll...I"m ready for this month to be over with..Ever since I got here, nothing has been happening but different people and now my cat dying...The first part of the year is always the worst cause it's so slow..When I get flowers and put them on my cats grave and decorate it up, I will post them all on here...It's very hard to go out there and look at it right now, but it helps to know she is close by still..I've had friends tell me that they have been through this with their pets, and there is no way to save them once they get cancer of the liver and start turning yellow...I knew that people got Jaundice from drinking obsessively when it came to alcohol, I had no idea pets got that...That's why I could never be a vet, cause I would treat each animal as my own, and it would be toooo hard for me to have to do that...It was hard enough for me to have to watch something like that....I have the greatest friends on earth, wow I've gotten so much support through all this with loosing one of beloveth cats from Italy, it's extremely touching..thanks to everyone out there...I'm so blessed to call you all my friends....

Very Last Night With My Cat.... :(

I had to make the extremely difficult decision today to go and have my cat put to sleep tomorrow who is sick with jaundice...She is basically starving herself to death now, and it's even hard to look at her now she is so bony and sickly looking...I will take pictures, and have them posted when I am actually able to do that, but I know I am not going to feel like posting later on...I have the greatest friends on this planet earth ever...No matter what it is, I get so much support, it's overwhelming...one of my friends sent me this cute comic...I have a very tough day ahead of me tomorrow, but I will be on sometime...take care everyone...

My Pics From Okinawa Round #2

( start with pic 19 tomorrow!!!) I will take that off once I finish up with those pics tomorrow!!!!!!!! I went to do this tonight, and I had nooo idea where I left off!!! I ended up posting ones that I put on here last night, and I didn't want to mess with it anymore, so doubles are better than singles anyday....These are still temporary lodging from when we had to move to there and live there for 3 weeks....That was the inside of it, the bed and all that other stuff on the dresser that was mine of course, and the one with the trees and fence around us, that was the outside of it....I felt like I was in a prison....that was everywhere I looked...I LOVE being in free society now....the others just showed how I had to live from the crappy apartment that is totally torn up now, to me shoving everything in cabinets and on top of each other cause I had no idea what to do with it....That just gives everyone an idea of what temporary lodging is....It's just a motel room that you live out of for several weeks....At least we had our own bathrrom and shower with hot water, and not have to trek across a field to an outside bathroom like people do whenever they go camping....yuk yuk yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.....I was glad to have my cats with me at least since I was there at that miserable place so much until we finally left....That is what I talk about so much when I say we have to go and move in or out of temporary lodging....I miss having my own house now sooo muchhhhhhhhhh.........I am loosing my one cat that is sick now....I was told that is a fatal disease and even with the treatment it's not guaranteed...I have never gone through this before having a sick pet....It's toooo sadddddddd.......... :[

My Pics From Okinawa

I finally got my pics from Okinawa from whenever I was getting ready to pack up and leave.... This is going to take me awhile to get these all one here, and I"m only one the first folder of these, and I've got 5 to get through....Let's see, this first one is one of my twin cats that I got whenever I was living in Italy. She is the one that is extremely sick right now with yellow jaundice. This was when we were staying in temporary lodging in Okinawa just weeks before we were going to fly out..This was also whenever she was still at a healthy weight. Now her bones poke out, and you can feel her spine when you rub on her back..It's so so very sad...I will make another attempt at a more advanced Animal Clinic, and get a different opinion....Her twin is very lonely, and keeps going around my other cats I have here, looking for a friend to hang out with since her twin is sick like this..Anyways, this is when she was healthy back in Okinawa in temporary lodging...she made herself a bed out of the bottom drawer there and I put a few of their toys in it, and they were all set...I miss the times now they were actually nice to each other instead of fighting like they do now...The pic below my cat is of the bathtub in the hotel we were staying....I filled it up to take a bubble bath, and came back to find the suds like that and was thrilled....I had to get a picture...I had never seen soap do that before....The other 2 pics, that was the bottom part of our shopping center there on base...The pic below the shopping area with the blue flag with the snowflake, that is the back of my old apartment building ... You will see there is a tree on the right and upstairs is all torn out...The right side was our neighbours, and the left back side, that was my computer room....They completely gutted the place....I have no idea what they are doing to those, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it...It was actually kind of sad knowing that I had once lived there, and sat in that very room...These other pics are of the apartment that I first lived in there in Okinawa...The one where I met mostly everyone on here that I know now..They informed us they were going to renovate that place, and we had to move..We went back a few months later, and this is what they had done....It looked so different with everything torn up like that....But that was my building and we were upstairs..50214....I don't miss trailing up and down stairs at all now....I have sooo many more so I'm anxious to get them all added in about the next 2 weeks....I'm glad this is the last week of this month...these 2 months have dragged on forever and I'm ready to see them disappear...

My Gorgeoussss Horse Figurines

"the world may be your oyster but it doesn't mean you'll get its pearl" ..(fortune cookie, Thai House, OKC)Today was the day that I officially became totally OBSESSED and started collecting very elaborate Horse Figurines that I found here where I live because I LOVED the Art Work on them... I saw them, and it stopped in my tracks from walking....The first one is the Children's Prayer Pony, very sweet, and very meaningful with artwork from kids who were sick from all over, and offered their prayers, and they put it all on a horse to decorate it...My other one below that is my dream horse, if I could ever have a horse of my own...I'd decorate it up just like that and even more....the other two I had to order online, cause they didn't have them where I was, and after I discovered such gorgeous horses, I came straight home and looked up the website and got the one I wanted...I loved the Native American Indian designs on horses they painted, mountains, streams rivers, buffalos, starry night skies, feathers, everything....I had no idea they had so many of these...The artists also do this to ceramic cats, but I haven't been able to find those yet...lol....I've got the top 2, the bottom 2 I am waiting on, but I'm a member of their club now, and couldn't wait to pass it on to everyone I know...I am still sick, but discovering this find made me feel a million times better...I love the artwork mostly, I have never seen anything like it...take a look at their website...you will definately be totally blown away....www.trailofpaintedponies.com

I think I have somehow made a breakthrough with my cat...Yesterday I took her to the vet finally after 2 months of putting up with her not eating or drinking coming here from the God awful place called Okinawa...That had to be the most I horendous move that I have EVER experienced in my entire life...My other cat got thrown around, and poked and her stomach was tore up and bleeding..I'm still not sure how that happened, and no one of course said a single word about it...I think it was the huge move over here to the United States that messed my cat up so much..The very ones that I got from Italy...Not eating or drinking, and sometimes almost attacking me when I came near...I come to find out that she has jaundice..it's possible liver failure, and her skin is yellowing around in certain areas...I was given these pills to fuss with giving to a sick cat, who's mad at me anyways for jerking my home apart and taking them here....I heard from someone else when they are like that to try babyfood and the evaporated milk stuff..Neither one I can't stand looking at...The babyfood looks like a really dark yellow German mustard I got before, and don't even talk to me about milk anything....I tried that anyways, and got success...So I think it will just be a slow process now...Fingers crossed everyone...With sooo much going on with me now that I'm back where I belong, and not somewhere off in crazyland, of course I have a million things on my mind every second of the day...I have finals in a few weeks, a funeral just days away, someone getting killed just like that right after I move back here, my cat having jaundice, and me being sick with a cold and the flu, I'm not in the greatest mood right now...The last thing that I need is some smart*((*&*( coming up to me and telling me to smile...WOW that did it for me....I lost it and jumped back at them saying something like.." stop telling me to smile all the time, I'm not a %^$%^ puppet." That took care of that little scenario real quick....I didn't hear anymore about it...Usually I am definately NOT like that at all..lol...I can't wait until all this passes and everything is back to normal and I'm back to me...

Honour Heaven

This is for someone that I knew that got killed in a motorcycle accident last night....very very sad...

Oh Dear God....

WHAT IS HE DOING TO THAT CAT!?!?!?! >=( I DON'T like to see things like this, but what do you expect from someone who the rest of the world makes fun of?????? Is is just me, or is this guy treating this poor kitten like it's a corn on the cob or something??? wow this is definately going on more than one of my pages to get a kick outta of it from comments...I thought I was sarcastic, but others I actually get along with have me laughing for weeks...So I should have known this was going to happen to me sooner or later...This is my first time feeling sick back in the states since I got here..In Okinawa, I was sick every year I was there...Several times a year infact cause I was so sick of it there, but no one would believe me, or just refused to...I of course have very little as it is now since everything is either in storage somewhere in Virgina I think, I'm not even sure where, and the other half is here over at my husband's family's place...I would guess about 300 boxes or something....There is no way I'm going through all that to find one little thing like a thermometer and other small things....I'm going to be stuck with 2 or 3 of the exact same thing when I get blessed with doing all the unpacking again whenever that is. I go to get all that nifty stuff you need when you feel just awful, and why oh why in THE world do they have OVULATION DETECTERS right next to everything else??? I would think that kind of junk should be with the other kind of junk that it belongs with, and not with everything else dealing with sickness..And of course I nearly grabbed one of those nasty things before I actually saw what it was and wanted to throw up....Yeah I couldn't imagine sticking something like that in my mouth before discovering what the thing really was and then would be screaming for about the next 3 days from disgust...So it's best to keep junk like that totally away from people like me who are very prone to making mistakes and then find out about them way later..This is my first semester back since I completely moved away to Italy...It has been flying by sooooo fast...I only have 2 full months left and then summer..I found out that it is impossible to go up to my university and do work on my laptop or anywhere, without someone always interrupting me and asking me stuff...That is the one thing that I absolutely can not stand..I am right in the middle of something, and pressed for time as it is, and someone hollars out at me, and asks me off the wall questions something about Police Studies...like I even care to begin with..and like I know anything about that in the first place..I solved that little problem real quick, just by packing everything up and heading home cause no one bothers me here about such stupid questions...Let's see, or another time I was trying to work and people are right in the middle of a mid-term turn and start asking me things....Yeah, I'm not able to do work around other people, esp. those who seem like they don't know anything and want to ask me for everything and I have my own life and own stuff going on...I found it easiest to work late at night past midnight, cause it's dead quiet, and not even traffic is going by....wow, some people just blow me away by how dumb they can be...I worked 2 weeks ahead in everything, so I can finally have some breathing time to sleep and actually be sick, not that I want to, but I worked myself to death, so that's what I always end up with...I should have new pictures up here about next month sometime..I completely lost the cord to my 2nd camera moving here...We went through soooo many airports, and were walking, and rushing, and shoving things into bags, and I had my cats, and luggage, and we were still walking, and shoving,with people all around of course.. I looked all over for that but of course nothing, so it either got dropped,or it's still shoved at the bottom of something..That's why I can't stand moving...I always end up loosing half my stuff, then find it months later...So my spare camera really isn't my spare now, it's just a decoration until I get it to be able to charge again with the replacement...whenever I get that....I hope everyone is doing way better than I am now..I'm glad that I got to experience the snow after being away for the last 7 years, 4 of those on the most miserable place on earth...I don't plan to leave again until I finish my classes and have another of some kind of degree in my hand...No one else knows that of course just yet...they will find out soon enough I guess...talk with you all soon.... I've got the greatest friends on earth who always make me smile and laugh endlessly no matter what my condition is...this is from one of my friends...not me!!!! :D tooo funny not to share!!!!!!!!!! "Thinks Women are magic creatures: they get wet without water, bleed without being injured, give milk without eating grass, & can make boneless meat ROCK HARD!"

Anyone Seen This One Yet????!!! :D

Happy Valentine's Day 2011 Everyone!!! :)
