Being Proud to Promote

A few days ago I was contacted through my business email to consider advertising and promoting a website. People helping People, I remembered that logo from the past. I remembered having come across it in my research atleast a year ago.

I review all sites that come through me for help. So of course, I did so quickly. It had been given a complete makeover, the navigation was simpler, the group leaders great. I continued to peek beyond what I was asked. So I searched the site further from the main Group I was asked to promote.

Totally awsome! Many will benefit. That's all it takes.

I joined as well. I have to know what I'm supporting is doing from day to day. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to be on the opposite side of the fence from time to time. A place to vent instead of being the one vented to. Share and learn. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind at all being a shoulder for people, it makes me feel good, but now I can express in a different way, too.

Their competitor who I'm already a member to and have been for quite sometime, hm, well..
Not my fault MDJ got to me before ICC. First come, first served, unless I discard a site for some reason. Most all will make it to the links page, very few make it to the front page.

Merit and review. The advocate and the patient.

I don't charge to advertise these types of sites on CRPSA. They make it on merit, passion and purpose to do good.

A few months ago I was approached by an XXX related site. I could have made a pretty good lump of change advertising on my site for them. In fact enough to cover all my expenses and more. I declined.

I love to serve, I'm constantly serving, one way or another. My legs might not go, but my mind does. Just gotta have heart.

I have heart.

And am very proud to promote

Mint N Chip Ice Cream in the Middle of the Night

My Doc appointment didn't go so well. Not going to go into details right now though. The only semi good news is that the paper work has been submitted for my blocks, so it's just a matter of waiting. And waiting... oh and did I mention.. waiting?

I woke up at 2:30 a.m this morning, a bit over an hour ago. Then indulged myself in some Dreyers Mint N Chip, no sugar (splenda) ice cream. A brand new half gallon, so I sat here sulking for a few minutes scraping the nearly frozen top off it. A little at a time. Hoping it would soften. I was really eager to get at it. I got about an inch down and put it up.

I usually don't do that. But after, I did feel better. I rather laugh every thing off instead of getting bummed out about things. It doesn't do me or anyone else any good to be sad.

I talked with Bubbles for about an hour in text messaging last evening. All is well.

Monthly Pain Management Appt

I got to my month pain management appointment this morning. Will leave about 10:30 a.m. I'm pretty sure that there will be no good news regarding my xray, additional lead or blocks.

I want to beg for a Cortisone injection, but I know he will not give it to me. Each time I ask I'm told I've had my max for a lifetime.

I've been taking Flaxseed Oil. Sometimes just swallow the gel caps and sometimes I just pop them between my teeth so the oil absorbs faster. Am thinking of adding b12 in large amounts as well.

The last couple of days have been tough. I kept having lucid dreams and a few things I need to very from them. I'm one of those freaks of nature. I don't have ESP exactly but a strong psychic perception. A blessing and curse at the same time. Have always had it. Thoughts are suppose to be secret, but that's not always so when I'm around.

Oh and my belt theory works better with the belt over my chest rather than under, but I still haven't tested it on body piercings.

Maybe I'll have some good news later this afternoon regarding my doc appointment. Afterward, depending on how I feel, we're going shopping. Our grandson's 3rd Birthday is on the 2nd. Everyone had a really good Christmas, so it's back to smaller, more affordable gifts, plus.. all of our childrens Birthday is in March. Ouch! A family could go broke with that alone. ~laughs

Surviving the Unemployment Crash

It's been 6 weeks since the man has been on Unemployment. After 13 years with the same employer, change is in the midst. He's considering going back to school and will look into that next week. There's almost no doubt he'll take a serious pay decrease from what he was making.

I'm looking as well. Maybe I can find something for 1 or 2 days a week. I don't meet many of the simple qualifications to work. Sedentary only, but then I also cannot sit in one position for more than a half hour tops. I have to be able to get up as needed after 15 minutes and nearly all employers don't go for that. There is one plus though, whoever does hire me will get a considerable tax deduction for hiring a disabled person. Employers are needing perks and quirks right now too being that the economy is so bad. The biggest problem is that it's more than likely not going to happen for 1-2 days a week, but then also with so little hours they don't pay medical benefits and most don't want to have to. That's why they keep many employees at a 32 hour work week or less so they can bypass it.

I use to do body piercings to make a few extra dollars, up until a bit over a year ago. Two summer ago I was doing quite a bit, but when the nerve damage spread to my upper extremity, my right arm, I couldn't keep a steady hand any longer. I have a theory on how to bypass that problem, I've used it for other things, but not piercing as of yet.

I use to be very good at piercing, very fast.

My theory still needs to be tested.

I got the idea this way though. Not long ago I was writing a hand written letter and my hand was shaking as well as the arm itself. So I strapped a belt around my upper right arm and buckled it beneath my breast bone on the opposite side under my left arm. It steadied my problem. Since the nerve damage is in my arm and not my hand, my hand shaking was just an effect of it.

Same with when I type, my hands quiver. Anyway, something for me to try. Where there's a will there's a way. Mostly.

I've been practicing wood burning. My Master has a nice professional unit. I'm free handing it so far. Just practice lines, curves, letters, names, etc.

What I really need is something different to do.

I spend more time researching than anything else.

I use to chat alot, serve in rooms, but my online time was never an entire waste as I always had other things to do. Research, write, publish, be published, maintain, build, administrate, websites of either my own, or others. Correspond with major organizations and more. Just a busy girl.

I've probably been in a chat room 5 times in 2 years. I semi frequent 1 forum of interest, but not nearly as much as a few months ago. I love good conversations, debate, insight, thought provoking mindsets and such, but...

...anything other than that doesn't float my boat, rock my ship or wet the panties I don't wear. And if I have to put on my cyber boots just to wake through the crap.. I'm out of there.

We're making it decently as of yet. There's no worries of losing the home we just purchased 10 months ago, the bills are getting paid, no ones starving, but we're lucky to have a nest egg in the bank. Everything has to be done carefully. Any spending has to be easy and with that and only that way will be be okay until he finds work.

We wrote out a check to my mom tonight, a loan really, they're in a bind, but I'm not expecting it back. I like to help others, it makes me feel good. And all good deeds come back, they really do. In different ways. Sometimes it takes years. All those things before, years ago, it already came back.

That's how we're surviving the unemployment crash...

I Really Need a Butt Rub

That Gizmo (SCS) is like sitting on a cell phone all day, ya know. I begged my Master to rub my ass, but he's busy, I begged my daughter and got smirked at, so I begged the grandson, I said 'Tai...nana needs a butt rub, he repeated in question form, nana wanna a butt rub? I said, yes please, he said... no nana, I no wanna.

~hangs my head

Gosh!

My butt is really aching, guess a wench has to do some things herself, sometimes...

(slides my hand down my shorts)

No peeking people, I'm kinda shy

Waking Up with Folgers in my Cup

I just love Folgers Coffee. I like the dark roast. The breakfast brew is too light for me, the medium is okay, the strong works, but the dark roast? Yum! A good cup of coffee just makes me so happy.

Splash it with dab of cinnamon and wowies.

So being that I haven't been awake for long...

That's what I'm going to do...

Wake up with Folgers in my cup

Pics of my Brother

In regards to my previous blog post about my older brother, I transferred the pictures taken Saturday January 10, 2009 and here are a few. In this one, my brother is on the left and his son, my nephew is on the right. I love this pic! By the way, his son is 18, otherwise I probably wouldn't have posted his pic. A has a girl, but he likes to talk to others too.

Ponders posting a pic of just my bro, hm...
Well okay, I suppose for the sake of any girls possibly interested, I will. I am the pimp girl now, ya know. Okay, so which one should I put up... thinks...

It was a whiskey day, some buzzin' going on, alcohol sometimes messes with features and facial responses, I have about 15 pics of either both of them together, or just the Brother. Gosh, I can't decide which is best for him. I suppose these will have to do. At least for now.



So here they are.

Well wishes...
