And here it goes...
Let me just start this post off by saying what I've said before and what everyone else has always said (maybe not in these exact words) and what everyone in the future will say...Menopause is an evil, all-consuming, making your mind crazy, lighting your ass on fire and making you sweat like a whore in church, making you sob like a baby without a rattle, leaving your eyes wide open when they should be closed and resting, energy zapping piece of bohboh. I HATE IT. I am personally contributing to Global Warming because of all of the electricity I use running the a/c, running the ceiling fans, running the oscillating fan and standing in front of the frige with the door open. Even though I recycle A LOT...it's never going to make up for the energy I've used over the last month trying to keep from spontaneously combusting on the spot. No, I can't take hormones because they induce cancer growth...yeah, they didn't tell me that one before the ol' uterus and ovaries were yanked out. Really?? I'm finding that I'm starting to get irritated really quickly also....like PMS times 50. Let me just say it now....poor John. Honey, I really am trying to be sweet...it's not me being bitchy...I really am having a hard time controlling my emotions...so if I'm not crying....I'm pissy....sorry... and hopefully I'll learn to deal with it better very quickly. Just know that I love you....even if I do feel like slapping you and your seeing eye poodle named Killer just because my hormones say so...I really hope you're laughing right now. Okay, enough said...I'll move on.
Have any of you ever considered what it must have been like to live back in the days before modern medicine, technology and germicide? Before a/c, heat, and everything electricity? I wouldn't have made it. Disease ridden people like me didn't last...makes me wonder about all of the talent that died before it was discovered?!? You never know, there could have been several more Beethovens or Monets...Mozarts or DaVincis or anyone else you'd like to substitute in there. Something to ponder.
We, like many other people, have watched the first two episodes of Revolution on NBC. I thought it was going to be a lot better than what it is...but hopefully, it'll pick up. But, it brings to the forefront of my mind some things I'd like to know...maybe you're curious too?
1. Technology wise..."Grace" has what looks like an old Apple from the 80's....why in the world would she be using that instead of a laptop or a decent desktop from the last year before the blackout?
2. What do all of those "women" do about having their periods??? Feminine hygiene??? Sanitary napkins, tampons...etc? Just thinking out loud here, folks. Yeah, the guys don't care about that one...but I'm sure I'm not the only woman out there who has wondered about the big "P".
3. Why does that black guy that played "Fring" in Breaking Bad always play a mean, killer type???
4. How in the world do they expect us to believe that they were able to round up all of the guns just by saying you can't have them and the penalty for having them is death...yeah, right...think about that....if we were actually in that situation...NO ONE and I mean NO ONE would give up their arms willingly. I know I certainly wouldn't.
5. Could someone please write in Charlie's script that when they do the daytime soap opera close-up at the end of a scene right before a commercial break...that she needs to stop furrowing her brow to make us see and feel her intended emotion. It just makes her look like she's constipated and in need of some Miralax.
Maybe these questions will be answered in the next few episodes...if not, I'm writing the editors.
Okay, now for politics. I won't go overboard here, but let me just say this. I have always been a very hard worker. I've never rested on my laurels and wouldn't be now if it weren't for this damned RA. I do everything I'm supposed to do...I take my meds, keep all of my appointments, eat right...drink plenty of water, take vitamin and herbal supplements, meditate, I do breathing exercises, read inspiring works, sing, play, dance, laugh and love. Okay, dancing not so much now, but my new version of it...:) How does this fit into politics? This is how. I am so freaking tired of listening to my conservative friends and conservative leaders talk about me. Yes, ME. I receive Social Security Disability...which I paid into...not as a teacher in Missouri, but from other jobs. I will be on Medicare as of November 1st. I have been on both sides of this argument...not just for arguments sake, but ACTUALLY, physically have been there. I am lucky...we've always been able to have health insurance through our teaching positions. We don't have children, so we didn't have that worry on our minds....it is just the two of us. But, let me tell you this. Had we not been teachers...where insurance is partially paid for us, I would have been dead a long time ago. I can not and will never understand why anyone in this country would deprive every man, woman and child of health insurance. I don't care if they are lazy, not wanting to work asshole adults...most of them have children. Those children do not deserve to suffer EVEN MORE just because they were born to idiotic pricks. I'm sure everyone knows the breakdown about the current cost of emergency room visits per year and long-term hospitalized people without insurance costs as opposed to the entire health insurance for everyone costs....it would be cheaper in the long run...so, I won't bore you with the details and specifics...AND EVERYONE WOULD BE COVERED. Every single aging parent- like my sweet, smart, paying out the nose at the age of 84 for health insurance Mother, and every ill baby, toddler, elementary child, middle school child, and teenager...and even our college kids...so many college kids don't have insurance...so many of all of these categories don't have-can't afford-health insurance. I don't necessarily agree with all of President Obama's health care plan...but it's a start to get us moving to what should be a right for every single person in our America. Do not write me and tell me I'm wrong. And how President Obama is the devil incarnate...sorry...I disagree and will not waste my time on that never gonna get anywhere scenario. I've already debated this health situation with many people...and being in the position I'm in health-wise...I have a unique perspective that healthy people who have always been able to afford health insurance and still eat and put gas in their car and go shopping and pay all of their bills will never agree with or understand. Who knows, if the government would do it correctly...even the crackheads, methheads and whatever heads might be "more" able to get lined out and into rehab without the cost being so very high that they can't get help. No, I'm not a bleeding heart. Lazy ass, not taking care of their children, not working, taking advantage of the system people piss me off and make me fighting mad...but I have weighed those feelings with the facts. And now, I know I've alienated a lot of our friends who are conservatives...and I'm sad about that, but....you guys post conservative shit all of the time on FB and such...I just can't keep quiet about this one any longer...that is, not being in my current situation and having lived through trying to stay as healthy as possible while not being able to pay the bills because I had to stop working. Things are better now, because I've spent the last two years digging us out of the hole...medical bills are piling up as we speak... again...but, it will be paid...so please, don't tell me about what you think needs to happen with health insurance in this country...if you've never been in a health crisis where you had to decide whether to pay the electric bill in January, or buy your medicine that has a price tag of $5000.00...for one med, for one month. Now, that wasn't my cost, thank GOD, because I had HEALTH INSURANCE... which brought it down to $100.00 per month for that one medicine...the medicine that allows me to walk, move my appendages and not be in so much pain that all I can do without it is cry and vomit. I don't want to hear it...I don't want to debate it...and I don't want to lose friends...and since this is MY BLOG...I'll say whatever I damned well please. So, there it is. Now, everybody knows how I feel about it. Like it or not...it's out there. Yes, I'm liberal AND conservative depending on what we're talking about...but I lean much, much further toward the liberal side on most things. I usually don't talk about it because so many of our friends are conservative...and I love and respect them all, and don't want to piss anybody off...but at this point, I had to say it. Had to get it off of my chest. (nobody say anything about my chest....I already know what you're thinking, you smart mouths:) especially all of my guy friends.)
Now for a lighter subject...floating feathers. :)
Hugs to you all...and yes, even to my conservative friends!!! I love you all, dearly. :)
P.S. In tomorrow's blog, I will explain about the seeing eye poodle named Killer. :)
