Brown Recluse Spider bite

5/29/2009 7:37:27 AM BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER BITE: For those reading this, just get on google.com and do a search of the fore mentioned words. That’s what I have. My bite is right next to my 3rd leg, for those of you from Bruce SD, that my dick,.. Wearing underwear irritates the bite. My Dr. looked at it and I’m on antibiotics Sally tried to lance the bite to get the puss out, but it didn’t work. I’m sure Sally will be sending out an email about my injury. No word yet on whether my life has been shortened. No change yet on my monthly bucket list either. www.myownfaith2.com/bucket Guess I’ll post this w/image. Post to http://mholter.blogspot.com

My Journey

Image
5/28/2009 5:55:53 AM MY JOURNEY: While the coffee is brewing, I’ll open my journal. Today is Thursday, the day for father son luncheon. Mark and I have been doing this weekly lunch for some months now. John knows that he’s invited, but for some reason my #1 son wants nothing to do with me anymore. OH WELL. My handwritten bucket list is still the same .. no changes. Here’s the address. www.myownfaith2.com/bucket I have on my email address book a bunch of unknowns. I’m trying to get a reply and am getting a lot of hate emails. Imagine that! The Internet & email is a powerful tool of communication. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of BAD folks out there on the web. I smell coffee !! J myron@myownfaith2.com PS: This soldier is my hero. I have no knowledge of who he is. The military are patriots.

KNOWLEDGE - TOOLS - POWER

Image
5/26/2009 5:54:19 AM KNOWLEDGE – TOOLS – POWER Learning or knowledge is a powerful word. When one achieves knowledge, one needs the tools to do so. Then when these words are mixed together, one has the power to accomplish whatever goals in life. How’s that for a loaded sentence. Yesterday, Sally & I spent all day at home. I used the tools to put over 12 + trash bags on our street for the city trash guys. I consider working outside my therapy. I probably saved our medical bill lots of $$$. I feel humbled to be able to work. Thanks be to GOD. Yesterday was Memorial Day. I only saw one person I knew, Sally, if she would honor me, being I’m a Veteran. She just laughed. She honors me all the time. We could have attended a number of ceremonies, but chose to stay home. Sally asked me last night what I used to do in my childhood over Memorial Day. I couldn’t recall. My memories of Holiday events were nothing to celebrate in my childhood. We just didn’t make a big deal out of the...

Memorial Day & My thoughts

THE INTERNET: So many web addresses, so little time. I’m writing this from my laptop, a DELL Inspiron. That reminds me, I should probably renew my warranty through DELL again. This last week has been very uneventful in my life. My backyard therapy continues. Sally took a photo of me in front of all the trash bags piled up for the trash guy. It’s from her new camera. Gotta run … church time. L8r My 5/25/2009 6:38:34 AM MEMORIAL DAY: Today is Memorial Day. This is a day to honor our soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. Today I’ll do what I do most every day, with the exception of pausing to pay my respects. As many of you reading this may or may not know, I’m a veteran. Here’s a summary of my military service: Sept 1966-Sept 1970 – USAF Active Duty 1976- 1979 – US Army Reserve 1980 – 1993 USAF National Guard The dates are fuzzy. I am currently attempting to file with the VA a disability. A while ago, my brother Dale informed me that he is getting $400.00 for in...

Backyard Therapy & Waterboarding

5/22/2009 6:02:44 AM BACKYARD THERAPY: Why go see a shrink? Yesterday was another good day for my therapy. I spent most of my time cleaning the west end of our lot. So far I’ve created 10 trash bags, mainly tree brush and vines, etc. What was very interesting was I witnessed a family of robins. The male robin seemed agitated. So I looked around and could find no nest anywhere. Later the mother robin was feeding right in front of me. She had a chick next to her begging for food. I silently watched them for some time. Very interesting! Thank you GOD for bringing the birds in our world for all of us to enjoy. Camp GITMO and waterboarding is in the news. The main characters in question are now between our current BO President and our former VP Dick Cheney. I’d side with our former VP. If I had my way, I’d send in a C130 plane with a drop door. I’d secretly drop the terrorists off in air over the country of their citizenship. I would properly warn the terrorist of incoming terr...

My almost daily post

5/21/2009 5:48:52 AM Thursday’s blog: Good morning self. Don’t forget to have lunch with BIG-M. I believe that it’s his turn .. correct? Our country’s financial straits are in dire straits! “A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEBT” That is the title of what’s on the FOX news channel at the moment. Sally & I are SO glad that we’ve decided to take our personal FINANCES under control. This month has been a budget buster. There’s a little thing called TAXES! I had to write a BIG check for our real estate and vehicle licenses. So, our home equity loan will most likely be a wash this month. I am reminded about watching a video on Dave Ramsey’s FPU. Getting out of debt is like using the crock-pot, instead of using the microwave. By back yard therapy continued yesterday. I was able to trim a tree overhanging and rubbing on our roof. I remember a few years ago, we had to have our roof replaced because the limbs were rubbing the shingles. I also was able to get some more trash bags ready for the nex...

Fasting

5/20/2009 5:53:47 AM Good Morning: Today I’m writing this without any coffee or food in my system. I’m to have my blood tested for Dr. Weyren, my cardiologist. The place doesn’t open until 8 AM , so I’ve got a couple of hours to gut it out. The first cup of coffee will sure taste good. Yesterday was spent most of the day in my backyard. I was reminded about a former president, Ronald Reagen, who liked to spend his spare time cutting brush on his ranch in California. I feel the same way, only we only have a city lot here in Topeka. I’m looking forward moving my weakly weekly video outside also. Sally is very pleased with her new pink camera. Our home homeowners insurance has a 1,000 deductible, so it’s a loss. Hopefully Sally has learned her lesson. My blood sugar has been behaving too. Why would anyone text while driving !!!??? Just watching FOX and there’s a segment showing a bus driver texting while driving. UFFDA! Thankfully no one was hurt. Still awaiting any answers from m...
