Some Thoughts, Our Neighbor, More
First our poor neighbor. One of our neighbors is in her late 80′s. Very wonderful lady. I always water her gardens and her potted plants. Told him a few years back, you leave the hose alone! Anyways, she has been hurting for about 2 weeks. Her son and daughter-in-law took her to the hospital, but they found nothing and gave her some stuff to drink to help her have bm’s (bowel movements). So after a few days of her in pain, and crying while talking to her, her daughter-in-law came by with some stuff that she had to take that would make her good. Well, my wife got the phone numbers of her son and daughter-in-law so we would have a contact point if something happened to our neighbor. End of last week, I was staying up late watching her place as her light was on past midnight, very unusual for her. I was getting ready to get wife up and have her check, when the light went out. Next day, she was in bad pain! So our next door neighbor got her to call her son and they came and took her to Des Moines hospital. Well, after some tests, they said probably her gall bladder.
Now her regular doctor came the next day and they ran an ultrasound on her and nope, not gall bladder, but a mass found in her upper colon. So he did a colonoscopy and ouch to no ends, found it was a cancerous mass. So today they were to operate on her to find out how bad that mass is (is it no growth, slow growth or fast growth) and what they can do. Have not heard yet, but the doctor said no way all that mass can be safely taken out. So she may have to undergo chemotherapy and take all kinds of medicine.
We have been praying for her to recover, but to be truthful, at this time it does not sound too promising. Take a moment out of your busy life and say a short prayer for our neighbor.
Weather here has been awesome! Not too warm and just cool enough to really want to stay outside all day long. No rain yet this month and the forecast does not look good for any rain in the next 5-8 days.
Tomatoes! Wife and I been picking a lot of tomatoes from our plants. Today wife canned up some tomatoes and also canned up just tomato juice. Did not make salsa. But wife said next batch of tomatoes, will have to get cilantro, jalapeno peppers and limes and she will make several jars or more of salsa. Plus she diced up some green bell peppers (our so-called jalapeno plants!) and put them in the freezer.
Now football! Hawkeyes won over the Cyclones last Saturday. Made everyone here happy. And watched lots of good college games and NFL games over the weekend and last night. Got to love football season! And the fantasy football league we are in? I have a team, wife has a team. And my team took number one this week! Yep, beat everyone else. And number two team was my wife! We took top honors this week, but a lot of weeks left before the season is over. Will see where we place next week.
Who in the hell is Jimmy Carter? That ex president who speaks with a forked tongue? Who has to inject himself into too many things when he should be home eating his freaking peanuts! Now he mouths off that Congressman Joe Wilson’s outburst to President Barack Obama last week was an act “based on racism.” Carter says Wilson’s comment was part of an “inherent feeling” of some in this country who feel that a black man should not be president.
Carter called Wilson’s comment “dastardly” and said the president should be treated with respect.
He is so out of touch and such an idiot! Except for the liberals who love that old fart, no one pays attention to him. And this latest idiot bonehead move by him proves he is out there so far on the left, Pelosi is to his right hand side.
Looks like Obamacare, as the health care reform is so quaintly called, will be rushed through without much if any input from the Republican party. Yet another sign that Obama lied to us to get elected! Yeah right on President Obama with your partisanship!
The Obama administration unveiled tough new fuel economy standards Tuesday in hopes of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a move that earned praise from environmentalists and harsh criticism from energy-state Republicans. In other words, he is pushing standards and the hell with what anyone but his socialists buddies think or want! Yet another example of the Obama administration’s ‘government knows best’ mindset!
Okay, that is all for my thoughts on how our president, ex-presidents and our government is out to screw all of us but good and without allowing us to us any lube!
