Be Wary of This Fool and his Quackery!

It seems sometimes that someone can be so dense as to be so stupid that you wonder how the heck this person can be alive. In fact some come across as being movie style stupid or movie idiots! Well get ready folks as I found one and he is alive, and boy is this piece of work a smoking gem of an idiot! His name, his name is Tim Bolen and my g_d this is one stupid idiot tard! He is the new breed of tard, you know the kind that threatens law suits left and right and claim or even believe that the U.S. Constitution and other Spam laws allow them to not only send vast amounts of spam to anyone of their choosing this freak on a leash actually believes that we as citizens cannot delete his spam and are forbidden from blocking his spam and/or using spam blocking software! There is a whole bunch of stuff out there about this ‘spammy kook’ (not my words if they were my words they wouldn’t be so delicate), seriously go to www.google.com and type in Tim Bolen the search area, last time I Googled Mr. Bolen’s name it came back with 723,000 results in under 0.12 seconds and guess what people, if you said they were all complaints you win the prize! Ding ding ding ding!!! Now you are probably asking “Hey Ed, just what does this Bolen dude do for a living?” Good question there, little Timmy works in public relations and marketing neither of which profession does he have a degree in from college all he has is some community college credit from some community college in California (his words not mine) that he has forgotten the name of. Hmmm here sits a man who claims to be an expert in PR and A Marketing Guru for those who are being hassled, harassed and raked over the coals by the Government local , state or federal,  Newspapers, Journalists, ordinary citizens, basically anybody who asks more than one or two questions about your product.
     Now you are probably asking yourself, “Self why is Mr. Freeman telling me and all the rest of his adoring fans and public about this looser and his crackpot schemes and scams?” Well let me tell you why, he has now targeted me with his frivolous law suit threats, he-he-he lol my only comment is BRING IT! I live in Texas, this Bozo lives in either California or New York somewhere. Enough said, as most Texas judges have a major dislike of out of state plaintiffs and their out of state shyster attorneys! I also believe there is a law on the books if not here in Texas then in Oklahoma that says if you threaten a suit or if you use the words we will see you in court then you have to file a lawsuit within 20-30 days otherwise it’s a nice little fine and a judgment  rendered against you, ok there Ed how does that affect you and Timmy-boy, he-he-he lol I believe I mentioned earlier he has a penchant for starting Cartooneys (for those who don’t know what a Cartooney is here is the definition courtesy of  http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Glossary#216  Definition:  Term for a legal threat sent solely in the hope of scaring the recipient. Derives from 'Cartoon Attorney'.

A Cartooney generally contains promises of legal action, often quoting irrelevant or non-existent laws, and is often written by one who has not consulted a real lawyer and has little intention of doing so. More often than not, the Cartooney sender is on the wrong side of the law to begin with.

Sometimes spelled "Cart00ney" to emphasize the comical nature of most Cartoonies, they are often sent anonymously, sent by fictitious lawyers or signed "Legal Department". Many promise to sue under invented laws such as the "Freedom Of Speech Law" or "International Email Law" and are usually written by spammers reacting to what they consider undeserved censure, being publicly identified or added to spam filter blocklists.

Well let’s just say that this Swiss cheese for brains idiot Quack, claims a suit has been filed like a lot of his past claims he says he uses California to, as he states, press charges in, not bring suit but ‘press charges ‘like a civil matter can ever be criminal.  He also states that under the Spam Laws of California, that any company, person and/or entity cannot nor does not have the right to block any spam coming from his email address nor does “Anyone”  have the right to block or use Anti-Spam Blocking Software against his so-called Newsletters doing so violates his freedom of speech, In other words not only does he have to right to say whatever he so desires he also has the right to force us to hear and listen to it! WHAT A MINUTE HERE, What about my RIGHT to NOT LISTEN TO or HEAR HIS CRAPPY SPEECH! COME TIMMY BOY, sad poor excuse for a little man, reminds me of the old pencil necked geek, (remember they even had a song about them) Guess Timmy Wimmy is too much a panty waste to visit let alone email someone in Texas!

     Well people I will keep you advised on the Timmy Boy situation, hopefully I will get to harass the harasser lord knows it’s payback time for him! Anyway keep up the god fight and if you have a good war story about scammers, spammers and/or con-men pass it along to me via the email link on my page! Chao, love you baby!

I was right! Isn't this fun?

     YES! I was right! It seems that my prediction and hunch last week was correct TLC has announced today that Kate Plus 8 has been cancelled, the last episode will air 12 September, 2011. Apparently in denial, Kate was quoted as saying “Nobody has told me [about being cancelled] ... We’re happy to continue on and will do so as long as people are watching” Originally titled Jon and Kate Plus 8 the show was re-titled in 2009 when Jon and Kate split up and got divorced. Since then the show has consistently slid down in the ratings to where it is now under a million viewers per week. In a non-scientific poll asking if they were sad that the show had been cancelled 59% polled said they didn’t care, 38% said they weren’t sad the show was cancelled and only 3% said they were sad and would miss the show. Asked about the shows cancellation Jon Gosselin told RadarOnline.com he was “very relieved” further stating that maybe now his kids can have a normal life and grow up sans cameras documenting their entire movements.

     To read more about Kate Gosselin and Kate Plus 8 being cancelled you can click here, and here.  To read more about Jon Gosselin and for some links to Pictures of the Gosselin’s click here.  Lets hope that Kate has learned some lessons from all this, namely to not use your kids to for your own gain, and to live like you are popular and people care when in fact no cares about you. All we can do is hope that this is the last time we have to deal with this attention seeking man-eating flirt monkey! Wake up Kate your 15 minutes are over with, now please go away!

Helga Part Deux

     I wrote about Helga a couple of days ago, it seems she just can’t leave well enough alone. Now after all these years she claims that she was molested as a child by a relative. Huh???? Supposedly this is a recovered memory, which she recovered spontaneously after drinking a few beers and taking some pills. HUH??? Now she claims that her previous diagnosis is wrong and she now has PTSD with Night Terrors. HUH??? Helga has not gone to a Dr. in a long time, heck she didn’t even go when she was pregnant the last 2 times she just stole other peoples pre-natal vitamins. Why would she all of a sudden get up and go to the Doctor when she hasn’t gone before? More like she self diagnosed, which she has a track record of doing a lot. (She claims she was pre-med in college and attended the first 2 ½ yrs of med school before she had to drop out, she attended 3 semesters of college total and never took a medical class at all. Apparently just thinking that you went to college and med-school gives you lots of experience and the ability to diagnose and self-diagnose medical problems!) I feel for this girl yet I don’t feel for her, as all her problems she has brought on herself and she has no one to blame but herself! Yet she won’t accept that, so she blames everyone else, us included, for her life turning out the way it has. When I spoke/chatted with her she was actually upset at me for leaving her in the shelter, when I explained that I had no idea she was in a shelter she blew up and went on a rage ranting incoherently and generally throwing a fit, after which I explained to her that per our previous conversation with her and her parents and others from our church that she was no longer welcome at her parents’ home, our home, and the church would no longer give her money, instead they would buy formula and diapers for her child, they just wouldn’t give her money directly as she spends it on drugs & alcohol. And to avoid her returning the diapers and formula to the store for money they now cut out the UPC bar code or peel the labels off.

     How many of us have a Helga in our lives or know of a Helga. What are you doing about it? Are you enabling him/her? Or have you cut them off, and are not giving them an out or someone to blame other than themselves? You need to be doing the latter! Cut them off make them accountable for their own actions, by doing so they will eventually hit rock bottom and when they do they will be forced to seek help! If they don’t and they die then at least you no longer have to worry about them anymore. I know that sounds harsh but trust me with someone like Helga it’s gonna take a lot to give her a wakeup call, as she has been doing this all her adult life. Let me add, when you do cut her off and make her accountable then you need to be prepared and to stand your ground. Once you start you can’t go back, you cannot back down ever if you do then you have lose and they win and then the problem gets worse. You need to be prepared for lots of yelling, screaming threats and possible even violence, if it does get violent or you are in fear of your life or hers then by all means call the police, she can always be arrested for making threats and if she is a threat to herself then they can declare her an EDP (emotionally disturbed person) and have her held on a 72 hour pysch-hold, which would probably be a good thing.

     Well people gotta go for now, be careful, be safe and please if you have a Helga in your life get them help and don’t give them want they seek which is enabling! If you are a Helga or Henry THEN GET HELP NOW! AND DON’T BURDEN YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS (unless you need a ride to rehab) IT’S YOUR PROBLEM NOT THEIRS! You got yourself into it not them, Okay!

AND PLEASE DON’T FORGET READ TO YOUR KID EACH AND EVERYDAY! 

So Far August has been a sad month!

     August traditionally means back to school, the end of summer and the beginning of harvest among other things it now means something sad. I am referring to TBS cancelling George Lopez and now the death of Jani Lane lead singer of 80's hair band 'Warrant'. I can understand Lopez being cut by TBS as his show was getting stale and he seemed to be trying to hard to be funny, but the way TBS cut/cancelled his show was down right rude! Read about it here.
     The death of Lane took a lot of us by surprise as it seemed he was healthy and was doing the right things or so it seemed. I guess it hit me hard as I am the same age 47, and I still feel invincible, even though I have had my share of close calls here recently, (coming close to death 4 times now makes you think about your immortality, especially when the last time you end up in the ICU in a medically induced coma for 25 plus days!).Anyway read  about Lane here.
     Again till next time please be safe, be careful and read to those kiddies please! Take care.

Good Lord this is all we need another International Incident involving a TV Show!

     When is the reality show going to go the way of the dinosaur? Or am I the only person in the universe who does not like reality TV shows? I namely and mainly despise two of these shows to the point of extreme hatred I think you know one the Kate Gosselin crapper, Kate Plus kiss my vagina oops Kate plus ate or is it eight? The other is 'Jersey Shore'. For the life off me I do not understand why anyone watches this junk? Who cares what a group of illiterate kids from Jersey do? I don't. Yet this crap-fest draws them in each and every week. MTV has a huge hit and millions of young kids have new role models to idolize.That's just great now we'll have a bunch of 9 & 10 yr old slut puppies running around dropping the F-Bomb at will and wearing hardly any clothing and talking in bizarre Jersey accents (think of whats her name shaggy no, squirrelly no, slutty no, shitty no, snooker no, oh snooki yeah that's it, think of a mini-snooki with the ugly face, gaudy make-up, big hair and slut-dog attitude). Parents is this what you want your kids to look up to? Is this really a show that you want to watch? Why? Why would you want to watch a show where all they do is talk about drinking, getting drunk and copulating, oh and most of the stars of this show are dumber than a sack of pubic hairs! 

     I don't get it what do people see in this show, whats the appeal, or are the viewers even dumber than the stars are? Until we take a stand the networks will keep throwing this crap at us, so lets take a stand and tell the networks we don't want their crap, we want good quality programming and not cheap reality shows that follow turds and retards and idiots! Better yet we can boycott TV altogether and do something healthier like going for a walk or reading or sitting down and talking to each other. Or for those who cannot give up TV altogether we can boycott the advertisers and let them know why we are boycotting them, that should get some attention quick! 

     Until then we only have ourselves to blame and only have crap to watch! Well people be safe be careful and be cool, and please read a book/story to your kids each and everyday! Til next time AMF and have a good one! 

Self Diagnosis and Medicating: Being Your Own Doctor Has Its Rewards and Advantages!

     Being a Friend and having friends are something that all of us do, whether we know it or not the human species is a social and herd animal, meaning we feel safer in groups and like living close to others, of course some of us like to live a little bit apart but that is beside the point. My wife and I have a friend who has made a complete and total train wreck of her life yet she refuses to accept responsibility for her actions, instead she blames everyone and everything else for her failures. When she was younger she was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, ADD, ADHD, and mild paranoia  (I know, wow) she took her medication for all of 3 days pronounced herself cured and quit taking them. This was when she was 16/17 yrs old, she is now 34 and acts anywhere from 10-18 sometimes even her own age. For the sake of it lets call this person Helga. Helga in her short life has given birth to 4 kids one when she was 16 or 17 yrs old, another when she was in her 20’s and 2 more almost back to back in her 30’s. The only one she has left is the last one the others she has given up and they are being raised by others. Yes Helga has problems yes she has burned all of her bridges, friends and family alike, she has no one to blame for her predicament but herself yet all she does is sit around blaming everyone for her problems. The main issue I have a problem with, is her inability to tell the truth. For as long as I have known her she has never once told the same story the same way twice, she either changes her story, adds to the lie or denies she ever said anything so I started taping and recording her in the hopes of getting her to acknowledge the facts and to try to do a mini-intervention. Somehow she always manages to make those around her the bad guys not her, she is innocent. That’s why we have cut her off so did her parents and her husband (who refuses to divorce her even though she has cheated on him numerous times and has even had 2 kids with other guys) so she moved in with the father of her latest child and things were okay till the truth came out or he discovered the truth about her anyway he threw her out and she has ended up in a local shelter where she has proceeded to throw a ginormous pity party and has blamed my wife and I among others for her problems, how do I know this if I am not talking to her somehow she has access to FaceBook and has posted her complaints about us online, she has also told the social workers there a whole bunch of lies, which they then pass on to us what is interesting is she also got thrown out of the shelter for lie and stirring up the other ladies there.

     Yes Helga has major issues! But that is not my major issue here, my issue is why do we allow others to do things like this to us?  Why allow a person to get away with treating us like Helga treated my wife and I for awhile before waking up and cutting them off, why not cut them off as soon as we realize what they are doing or never allowing them to get anywhere near us? Is it because we hope for good in our fellow man, and we tell ourselves that Helga couldn’t do be doing that to us! When in fact we are in denial far more than Helga is! Why allow the Helgas and the Henrys of the world to do this to us, maybe because we want to help and we refuse to see what is in front of us, a con-man, and not the innocent we want and need to help?!? I can only pray that we do not become as cynical as the Helgas and Henrys have become and never give those around us the benefit of the doubt and never allow anyone to get close to us!

Why I just don't give a plug nickel or How I have never watched!

     Let me start by saying I really don't care and I have never cared from the start! Heck I didn't even know who she was until DWTS! And I do not understand why some people cared about this obvious wannabe and who never will be HAS BEEN! Yes I am talking about Kate Gosselin. In case you haven't heard apparently her show is going down the tubes and her star has not only dimmed it's been shot out of the sky, the details are here. Why would anyone care about this egocentric attention seeking witch? Did you not get it when she was on DWTS and she showed her true self, of course that was only a brief glimpse of her true self. With her actions and the way she runs around flirting with anything older than 18 and younger than 80 is just sad to see her implode right in front of our eyes. I am surprised that (is it Jon?) her ex hasn't filed for full custody of the kids, cause when the nanny is more mature than the mom it really is a sad situation for the kids involved! But what is really sad is that Kate can't even get recognized as the famous star she so desperately wants to be, check out this part again "When he's told it was Kate Gosselin, he says "Oh. Is she like a famous baker or something?"  Just how funny is that? Well people got to go for now but be safe and be cool and please please read to your kids each and everyday! 
     
                                                                     ***UPDATE***


     It seems I posted to soon and didn't get all my references lined up in time, not only was there the story on Road Runner's gossip page, (RR is Time Warner's internet service arm) but  Eonline.com also ran a story about the same thing namely that Kate is on the way out personally I like reason #2's line It's Not Over, Kate Says So! like this shriveled up has been has the power to make us all watch and adore her, brb, had to go rinse out my mouth as I threw up from all this Kate crap! Anyway click here and you read E's take on Kate's downward spiral and flame-out.   Oh and please forgive the way this update looks, for some reason it wants to show up highlighted in white sorry guys, anyway be careful and be safe!    

...what we have here is a failure to communicate!

     Think about it, it is 2011 and we have literally a multitude of ways to communicate with each other and for every way to communicate we have a way to avoid said communication. Doesn't anybody think this is ironic and down right absurd? Why even create a new communication method to only find a way to block it? Who knows why people do what they do, they are humans and for the most part are crazy, weird and off their medication!
     Changing the subject, does anybody really think that the Crown Prince 'Obama' will be able to balance and reduce the budget like he says? Me personally I say NO! Why, why not give him and his plan a chance? Well first this guy is a liar, second he refuses to take responsibility for his own actions, he and his team are still blaming  the deficit and all the other problems on George W., wait a minute he has been in office coming on 3 years and yet he still blames others for his mistakes, yes look at the facts his previous plans didn't work and he blamed Bush, his next ideas exploded and he again blamed Bush, at what point will he take responsibility for his actions and quit blaming others and justifying his goofs, flops, gaffs, bad ideas and utterly horrible failures by blaming others? Come on 'Obama' get real and get honest quit the blame game and be a man oh yeah I forgot you had no role model growing up except other crooks, criminals, and thieves.
     Moving on I read where this 10 year old Montana boy caught a fish that could be twice his age almost 20yrs old, read the story here, wow catching a record largemouth bass and letting it go this kid is awesome! I like a lot of other idiots enjoy fishing, I also practice catch and release of certain fish species like bass, trout, and other cool trophy fish, only eating a select few as some fish have been shown to high levels of toxins in their flesh especially mercury and other heavy metals. It really did my heart proud to read that this kid was practicing catch and release so someone else could have maybe have the chance to also catch this fish, and the fish got to swim away to fight another day!
     Well people be safe and please at least talk to your better half and your kids this is probably the most important people you will ever talk to, far more important any head of state, king queen or celebrity! Talk to your family make it a point to do every day! 

....finally Texas has lower numbers than other states, even though it is only the Temperature.

Wow, but it is hot out there, course here in San Antonio well here in Texas it is not as hot as some other areas of the country, still though it’s hot! I have family living in Oklahoma where it has been 110* and 117* in the same week. Come to Texas and be sure to bring a sweater cause its only 94* degrees here. Lol! On a different note I just realized that the Dallas Cowboys showed up finally for training camp here in the Alamo City , and guess what I DON’T CARE, yep I DON’T GIVE A PLUG NICKEL for the COWBOYS! America’s Team? Yeah right, more like America’s losers! The cowboys are a bunch of spoiled, over-rated, over-paid, criminal Brats! Of course a lot of teams and not just football but all sports, have problem children on their rosters, but the Cowboys seem to have cornered the market on bad boys. What I don’t get or understand is why do people gripe and complain about so and so player being over paid or this and that yet you continue to support said player by buying the merchandise he sells or endorses? Huh, why, if this guy is that bad then quit making him rich or richer don’t buy what he is selling and boycott his sponsors trust me cut off his income stream and you will get his attention! Trouble is how do we threaten Jerry Jones the Cowboys owner? This guy has more money than G_D and doesn’t care if you threaten him! And to make matters worse his heir apparent his daughter is even worse than he is. Oh well, I guess all I can say is ‘Beat the Rush, Hate the Cowboys Now’ or ‘G_d Please call Jerry Jones home’. Or you can be like me and just say NO and watch NASCAR and college ball, and pray for a quick start to the NBA season! Getting back to the weather it reminds me of the C&W Song ‘Too Hot to Fish, Too Hot for Golf…’hmmm just how hot is too hot for fishing and is it every too hot for golf if you have enough beer course watch out don’t want to be accused of gwi, gui, gcwi or gcui…of course like all good golfers I have some war stories like losing a ball or two or losing a cooler full of beer, or taking a corner too fast in a cart and losing a case of beer cause they weren’t stacked right or the best one was losing an entire cart beer and all (no clubs though) hell with that much beer you don’t need clubs just head to the nearest shade tree and enjoy! Till next time people, choose your friends and beverages wisely! Catch you later, have a good day and stay safe. 

It's a meet, meat world!

I read recently about some bleeding heart person who actually claimed that by feeding cattle a finishing diet of corn that it causing complete suffering to said cattle by slowing killing them! Why? The article claimed that cattle cannot digest corn of any type that only grass can be digested and that corn slowly starves the cow or steer and creates so much pain that they actually look forward to be harvested because it ends their suffering! To this I say "Bull Shit." First if you give a cow a chance it will always choose cracked corn over grass every time and not grass, especially molasses sweetened cracked corn, how do I know? Well from spending almost every summer on my families ranches and farms I noticed the cattle always followed me around at feeding time wanting that sweet feed bucket and given the chance to leave the pen they chose to stay and eat the feed not walk out and hit the grass! Have you ever had beef grass fed only to me it is a completely different taste compared to corn fed beef! There is no comparison corn fed is superior and it easily broken down especially cracked corn! This was article was just some insane lady pushing her own thoughts on animals she thought were humans. Believe me cows are people they are cows, and will chose what they like to eat. Sweet corn feed tastes better than grass and I have never seen a cow get cramps or complain about their food, they are not in pain and they thrive better, how else would you explain that they gain more weight eating corn than grass! She also said that the corn drives their thirst way up again WRONG cows eating Corn and Grass drink the same amount of water not mater the feed they are given! Come PETA if you are going to claim these wild thoughts and ideas at least try to come up with better ideas and facts than just your own speculation. It is fools like PETA and other so-called animal rights groups that feel the natural laws should govern us, but does not the bible say that man has dominion over all the animals and that they are here for us to use and consume!? That is way every person from PETA and other groups are always Atheists and not believers in G_d. If you are in PETA do us a favor most claim that this would be a better world if man kind were to go extinct it would be the best thing for planet earth, why then don't you lead by example, take your lives first and end it! PETA is nothing but a bunch of Pencil-Neck Geeks not good for anything including fertilizer, and most are closet homo's and commies. So please PETA go a head kill yourselves do the world a favor we don't need your kind here!

A little girl and her legacy!

I don't know if you heard about the death of Rachel Beckwith a nine year old girl with such a huge heart that cared for others. This little girl was in the process of raising $300.00 for safe clean drinking water for people in Africa who have none. Tragically Rachel died in a car accident after only raising $220.00 for her cause since her death the fund has grown to well over $200,000.00 enough to do good for several villages but that is not enough we need to raise more so that anyone on this world whether they live in Africa or any other third world country has the right to safe clean drinking water and safe clean food and basic education. Why stop with just a few countries this should be a basic right for anyone on this planet everyone deserves a chance to succeed not just a privileged few but everyone! If you feel this way then please contact me and I will tell you how to make a donation to this important cause and every dollar will be spent on the cause with nothing taken for overhead, nothing! Please help me to insure we all have the right to water and food no one should ever die for lack of water or food! No one every! contact me through this blog and together we can and will change the lives of those that don't have safe clean water and food. We are all G_ds children let us show it! Thank you! 

Wow People still believe Obama is not to blame for the current economy.

So this morning I am reading the news and come across some comments on the web about George W. and Obama. Care to guess what they were about? If you guessed that Obama is not responsible for the country's problems then you win! Obama has been in Office for over two years now when is he going to take responsibility for his actions? Oh Oh Oh Oh I know I know NEVER! People like Obama never take responsibility for their failures only their successes, and have you noticed they hardly ever succeed and if they do it is not due to anything they have done! They ride the coattails of someones else's success claiming  the victory for themselves. It is these same people that claim they scored the winning touchdown in school or made the buzzer beater in the state hoops championship, always taking credit for someone else's hard work. Obama has lived off of everyones successes his entire life and he has conveniently blamed his failures on others also, so if his successes are not his and his failures aren't his just what is his to claim like him, NOTHING! Wow we have just proved Obama is a great big NOTHING! ZERO! NADA! ZIP! AN EMPTY WIND BAG! An empty suit of clothes has done more than he has! This is our leader? A loser folks, nothing but a shell of lies and empty promises and when he steals a losing idea he claims it wasn't his fault and goes on to the next persons idea. Do we really want four more years of this kind of leadership? I know I don't!

We've got to quit meeting sporadically like this and make this a permanent date each and every day, week, month or year.

     I know I know, I promised last year that I would post like I have in the past, at least 3 times a week if not more plus special holiday and seasonal posts to boot. Well thanks to no fault of my own I ended up in the hospital again in fact several times. Twice in October then again in November. This was all leading up to the huge main event and by huge I mean ginormous. In comparison the complete known universe would fit on the nail of the pinky finger of the event (if the event had a pinky finger let alone a hand). I knew I was not feeling well, in fact a couple of days earlier during the early evening hours of Dec. 29th the medics from SAFD came to the house at the behest of my spouse and checked me out. My BP and Pulse were kinda sorta going ape nuts, haywire, whatever you want to call it the numbers were all over the place. At this point I refused an offer of transport to the ER via ambulance which surprisingly Fasha was okay with. (The paramedics basically said I was not in any immediate danger and if needed they could be back in a matter of minutes of course their Medical Director went nuts and tried to convince them and me to bring me into the e.r. any e.r., which I kept refusing to do, hey trust me when I say that I do not like hospitals let alone e.r.'s! And I have an Extreme Fear of Needles, both the sight of and being stuck with one. That is why I cannot understand drug addicts who use needles. I don't care how bad my fix could be and just what the heck is my fix I mean what is broken that needs to fixed or whatever it implies? My plumbing/pipes, the wiring, engine, roof, are my tires bad who can tell me what it is that is a fix or what is fixed with a fix? Anyway like I said I don't do e.r.'s let alone hospitals unless I have no choice and that means that I am either unconscious, in handcuffs or at gun point! I think one reason why I don't like being in the hospital is that I am no longer in control, yes I know I can checkout and leave when I want to but they pretty much frown upon that, plus a lot of Dr's, not all but some, still feel that just because they have the initals M.D. after their name that implies that their word is law! Which IT IS NOT! If you are a Doctor and you are reading this then PAY FREAKING ATTENTION TO ME KNOW! As health costs rise and as more and more Dr's add services to their menu, then this becomes more of a consumer/provider arrangement. Previously we would go to the Dr. tell him/her or symptoms, the Dr. would then examine us make his diagnosis and we would listen and do as he said and told us to do. The Dr's word was pretty much considered to be the word of g_d. I even know for a fact that in Medical school that future Dr's are told and taught to not take no as an answer from their patients meaning they are to expect complete 100% patient compliance at all times, that is why a lot of older Dr's have such a horrible bedside manner, they walk in and see a patient and tell the patient what is going to happen, never once asking how the patient feels about this. A good example would be this past Feb of this year. After being in the hospital all of Jan. I was released to a rehab facility to strength my legs and body from lack of use, I ended up having to go back to the hospital due to my infection recurring and while there I had a run-in with an idiot Dr. whose name I shall withhold. Dr. Wood, oops, had tried almost every test there is to try to determine where this so-called infection was coming from, he kept saying I know it is this and it wasn't, then he would say it is this and agsin he was wrong, every thing he said it was was always wrong. Finally he said it has to be hiding in your spine, ? , and he wanted to more or less hammer 6 inch long framing nails into my back and then do a cat-scan and look for pus. Yeah right!?!? Is this idiot for real is the first question I asked myself then him! After determining he was serious I told him NO! NO WAY, NO HOW, NO NEVER EVER! Well guess what, yep you guessed correctly if you guessed that he went ahead and ordered it! So here I am sitting in my bed talking to my roommate and watching TV when these giant orderlies show up and tell that they are here to take me for my special procedure, hmmm, I ask them what procedure as I do not have anything scheduled for today let alone this week, just more of the same which is bed rest and massive doses of anti-biotics, they tell me they don't know that they were sent to get me and that I cannot refuse to go! So I said ok what a minute please, they said sure, I immediately buzzed for the nurse and called my wife on my cell phone. I told the nurse about the orderlies and asked her to come to my room, and told my wife the same and for her to call the hospital ombudsman/patient advocate if she heard me mention a certain code word [I left my phone on speaker so Fasha could hear the conversation on my side she just muted her phone so they could not hear her] It turns out that the Dr. had as I previously mentioned ordered the test and had even written on his notes that my refusal was not an option, that if needed they would force the test on me! When I heard this, I said both out loud and in my head, "thats medical rape is it not?" to which the charge nurse said the same thing, she had come to my room thinking I was a troublemaking patient, why did she think this? Because Dr. Woods said I was. Again Dr. Woods who was not even my admitting Dr. but just some idiot that had been called in to consult about a possible infection had made a judgment call without spending more than 3 minutes with me  ) I did pretty well on my own and with Fasha's care and help until New Years Eve evening from here until around oh let's just say Jan. 22 when I start to recover some memories.
     I have heard of people and even know of and know some that have lost a few minutes, hours or even a day but to lose 22 days thats wow, hmmm thats 3 weeks and 1 day, thats 3 quarters of a month. At my age I really can't afford to lose or even misplace any amount of time! (Wait how certain am I that someone didn't steal my 22 days, my 2 weeks and 1 day, my 0.709677419354839 % of January 2011. Guess I am not super certain. But if someone didn't steal my time and if I did not use it then were the heck did it go? I will keep looking around here until I get to the bottom of this mystery/theft/conspiracy option/theory (just how deep and how many people this involves is another mystery)!?!? Hold on a second here people I have just received some new information from the front lines and front office be right back!
     Sorry folks but I have been informed by my wife that this is not a conspiracy but instead is my over grown and over blown imagination! I apparently lost the afore mentioned time and have no knowledge of its whereabouts due to drugs, and not even illegal drugs, (a drug does not have to be illegal to be worthwhile). It seems that when I was transported New Years Eve to S.E. Baptist Hospital via SAFD ambulance my breathing was labored in the ER and I was having a bunch of other issues too, meaning I had multi-system issues or failures anyway the Dr's intubated me and so that I would not pull out the breathing tube they sedated me heavily, quite heavily in fact! They were giving me Diprivan aka Propofol aka "Milk of Amnesia" (the same stuff that Michael Jackson o'd on, oh great it killed freak boy what's it going to do to me?) Well it turns out nothing, see Wacko Jacko died from lack of oxygen because he quit breathing, because he did not have an established airway, I on the other hand had/have an established airway or what is called a breathing tube down my throat and hooked up to a ventilator meaning this scary looking machine was breathing for me of course I had no idea as I was in LaLa Land. Thinking about this experience almost 6 months later and I am now starting to put a few and I mean maybe 1 or 2 very very small minute/minuscule memories into place and surprisingly these are dreams or semi-hallucinations that I experienced while under the influence of Propofol/Diprivan.
     Mean while during this vacation while on medication my wife and the nurses who befriended her would have me do silly things like 1. Smile: If you ever get a chance to see someone doped up and loopy with a tube down their throat trying to smile stop and watch, or encourage someone in this condition to try to smile, apparently it is loads of fun for those watching.  2.Talk: The same applies here as to the aforementioned smiling, except what comes out resembles more of a barking seal/sea lion language than human speech.  3. Give the patient a very through bed bath or bath in bed. Personally I don't see how a bath can be funny unless it involves kids, lots and lots of bubbles and more than 5,000 gallons of water (yes that much water would flood Noah and his ark). But my wife insists that giving me a bath was not only an experience but was also funny!
      Ok people that will have to do for this time, we will continue my missing month escapades in future posts, but until then please if there is someone in your life whom you love then by all means tell them you love them before it is to late to do so. Life is to short to not share your love with! Alwaat ys make sure that those special people in your life know how you feel about them. I don't know what it is about those three words! What about them makes them so hard to say, especially to someone whom we do love. Until next we meet in the etheregions GOODBYE, G_D BLESS and G'DAY or G'NITE,.!? And tell your special others that "you love them"! C'ya ciao!
