I haven't written anything in a while, not since so many misunderstood Shay's an My joke about fighting over a man. I had to pause, and take a long look at my sense of humor, and I feel there are others who should do the same. But that's in the past.
What I want to write about today IS Serious and not a joke.
I would like opinions from intelligent people, hopefully women, about how much TRUST do you give a man.
If you find yourself thinking about or in a LTR, how much trust do you give that person? Not a relationship with someone who has already did something to break your trust, but a brand new relationship.
Some of us have 'baggage' from the past that clouds all other relationships. Some have gotten over the past, and can move on. Hopefully most of us are in that category.
I know I can't think of all the scenarios, but here are some pretty good questions....
If your new Guy has women friends, do you respect that, and leave it alone, or do you insist he 'not' spend time with them?
If he wants to go out with the Guy's, do you try and stop him?
If he has totally different interests than you, do you understand and support him, or do you try and get him to give them up?
If he has one or more EX'S, and they are still Friends, are you jealous, and do you show it?
What if he's in the habit of going on trips, and you can't go too, do you insist he not go either?
What if these trips include his Friends, male or female?
What if, on these trips, Your Man stays in a motel with his female friend, AND they share a bed, will you be jealous? If so Why?
What would you do if he is a KISSER, and kisses every female he meets?
How would you feel if he said, "I need some time alone", would you be hurt?
If he gives you a gift, flowers etc, for no reason do you think it's because he's done something, and he feels guilty?
Can you be Friends with his EX'S and other female Friends, or do you let them know they need to back off?
There's lots of questions, but I want to make it short. So ladies lets discuss this. I would like your opinions, and I think some of the men will be interested too....
Disclaimer...This is not directed to or about anyone in particular, just WONDERING...LOL

UpDate on my Friends progress

For those of you who expressed interest, here is an update. My Friend is Home and apparently out of danger. He will be having physical therapy three times a week to help him walk again. Also the Home health care nurses will come twice a day to dress his wound. I'm not sure if the doctors intend to close it up eventually or let it heal from the inside out. The doctor told him that if he had waited one more day the bacteria would have gotten into his intestines, and most likely would have been fatal. I do know that he is recovering, and it can only be because of the Prayers. Thank You all for your Prayers and Good thoughts...

He's out of ICU, and in a room where he can have visitors. My Son and I visited him, and he is in great spirits. His wife and two of his children had just gotten there, so we didn't stay long. I was surprised that he wasn't in Isolation. The Doctors haven't made any decisions yet as to how long he will be hospitalized. They seem to be amazed at the progress he's made so far. I told him about all the Prayers on his behalf, and he was very grateful. He realizes that his life hung by a thread, and this is not the first time.
I want to Thank all of you who Prayed for him. This thing moved very quickly, but I feel confident he will recover. It's just going to take a lot of time....
Thank You Again...Barbara

My Best Friend is in the V.A. Hospital.
He was so sick on Christmas day he couldn't walk, and I took him some food about 1 o'clock. He assured me that he would be OK to go to work Friday, but he wanted me to go with him to help. Friday, 5:30 a.m., he called and said his Son was taking him to the Hospital.
He called and said that he was being prepped for surgery, but couldn't tell me what the diagnosis was.
Then his cell phone battery died.
I was so glad that he was were he could get 'care', I just waited for him to call when he came out of recovery. But he didn't call. This morning, (Saturday) I looked on the internet and got the Hospitals number, and called. It took a while, but I finally reached his room and talked to him.
When he told me what they had found, I was shocked beyond belief.
'Necrotizing Fasciitis', more commonly called 'Flesh Eating Bacteria'.
The doctor told him that he really had to go deep. As if it could be any worse, the effected area is the 'Groin'.
He has been to the doctor and to the Emergency room, and been misdiagnosed both times. First he was told it was a small 'Cyst' that could be removed. When the swelling started, it was a 'Pulled groin muscle', 10 days later this is what they find.
I looked it up and this is the bottom line...
"The whole process usually occurs within a week from the point of
contraction to the outcome. This can vary, however. People can die in 24 hours, while some lucky ones have waited as much as a week to get treatment and have 'amazingly' survived.
Prompt treatment is essential in this condition. It is one of the
fastest spreading infections known, so time is the most important
factor in survival".
In addition to the tissue decay, the bacteria causes the rest of the system to go into systemic shock ( The doctor thinks this is whats wrong with his legs, and hopes he will recover). This may result in respiratory failure, heart failure (He has only 30% of his heart functioning now, and he's Diabetic), low blood pressure and renal failure.
Basically, every system of the body can fail as a result of the severe infection and toxicity of the system. (He is getting the antibiotics through his IV ).
This is not a reoccurring condition. If a person survives this, the bacteria is gone.
The bacteria is introduced from being 'near' someone who is carrying Strep Type A, or being somewhere Strep Type A is present. This is the same bacteria that causes Strep throat.
There were two women working with him that had Strep Throat about a month ago.
I have to tell you, I am worried for him. That's why I'm asking for your help. PRAYER, is a mighty powerful thing, So Pray for him, Please..

My Lucky Night
I ended up with a woman at a local bar last night. She looked pretty good for a 60-year-old. In fact, she wasn't too bad at all. I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter.
We drank a bit and then she asked, "Have you ever had a Sportsman's Double?"
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's a mother and daughter threesome," she said.
I wondered what this daughter of hers might look like and my mind began to embrace the idea. I said, "No I haven't had a mother and daughter threesome."
We drank a bit more and then she says with a wink, "Tonight is your lucky night."
We drove to her place. We walked in, she put on the hall light and shouted upstairs,
"Hey Mom! You still awake?"

Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff legged and walking slowly.
One of the students said to his friend, "I'm sure the poor old man has Petry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that."
The other student said, "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his are legs apart just as we learned in class."
Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him and the first student said to him, "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on th e ailment you might have. Could you tell us what it is?"
The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you must tell me what you two fine medical students think."
The first student said, "I think it's Petry Syndrome."
The old man said, "You thought... but you are wrong."
Then the other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome."
The old man said, 'You thought...... but you are also wrong.'
So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?"
The old man said, "I thought it was gas........... but I was wrong too............."

Today I ran into the local grocery store for a few things I needed. As I was looking at the meat, and the prices, I had a thought. Maybe, just maybe, this whole thing of escalating prices on everything is a conspiracy. For years now I have heard that we as a nation are OBESE. Heck if I was to go by the chart that life insurance companies use, I could be considered morbidly obese.
But I digress.
As I was thinking perhaps the Government, or some other entity, has secretly caused prices to rise so we will all quit eating so much. I looked around me at the other people in the area where I was at, everyone, I mean EVERYONE was heavier than me. If there is a conspiracy, we can probably all be grateful.
Over the course of my lifetime I have had to knuckle down and make sacrifices for things I needed/wanted. Guess that's what needs to be done now. Personally I'm not going to worry about it. I'll do whatever I have to do, like always. Now wouldn't that be nice? If we all stopped eating so much, especially processed foods. One thing we could do is work a little harder to prepare our food, stop buying everything prewashed, precooked etc. we'll have fresher foods. That has to be healthier. If you're only cooking for 0ne, or two, you can grow enough vegetables in your flower beds or in pots. Here in Florida we have farmers markets, and produce stands everywhere all year long. If you don't have that where you live, I'm sure you can find them in the spring and summer. Buy them fresh and put them in the freezer. I Love going out into the woods and picking wild berries to make jellies, jams, and freeze them for pies.
Guess that's enough rambling.....
No one listens to me anyway...LOL
P.S. I had some breakfast bars one time that stayed in a box in my car for over two years and didn't get stale or rancid. How much preservative you think was in them????

My Christmas List........

Since others are making Christmas list for good ole Santa, thought I would make one too...
1. New carpet, and someone to install it. Age or gender doesn't matter.
2. More jobs in the coming year, so I can quit my 40 hr. per week job.
3. Money enough to pay my house off this year.
4. Time to spend with my Friends (especially want to go to Nashville bash).
5. A nice fairly new gas saving car, that I like and feel safe in, that I can afford without a strain on the budget.
6. Affordable Medical insurance would be nice.
7. Good health would be even better (as long as we are wishing).
8. Another year without any major appliances breaking down.
9. A miracle weight loss plan.
10. Last but not least Santa, encourage that handsome man here in SFF'S to write me. From what I know of him at this point, I think he is a fabulous man. Even though my first impression was that he is to Handsome for me. Friends or more, I would really like to get to know him better.
That's my list. See if that will fit in my stocking Dear Santa....

I apologize

Last night I wrote a blog about losing my Bitch Button, and added a P.S. about my Bitchy Daughter-in-law. Perhaps you read it. After I went to bed, I started thinking about it. I visited my Sons home yesterday, and actually had a nice conversation with my daughter-in-law. At one point I asked her how the medication was working for her. She said it was helping a lot. She wasn't as enthusiastic as my son was, but I could tell she was much better. She added that it was helping her cope with all the turmoil going on in her life. Last night as my thoughts went to all the problems she has to deal with daily, I felt shame for calling her a Bitch. There are people in this world who have a right to be Bitchy, she is one of those people.
She was the oldest girl in a large family, and had to work hard as a child, eventually taking care of her parents as they aged. Her Father passed away, now they have her Mother living with them, and she is a very unhappy 90 yr. old woman. No one in the household can do anything to please her, except my Son.
Then there is My granddaughter, an 18 yr. old trying to break away and be an adult, without the experience to do so. That worry alone is enough to make anyone bitchy.
She also has a Son living with them that was in an accident many years ago and had brain damage, as well as physical disabilities. He will always have to be cared for. He can really be a pain, because he wants to be normal, and can't.
Another one of her Daughters just had her first baby, and just weeks before found out her husband was/is cheating.
She works for a Doctor, and that is stressful too. He won't carry Medical insurance for his employees, and she has needed insurance for a while now. My Son was able to get it with his job just recently.
My Son works out of town 4 days week leaving her alone to cope with all this.
She has some physical problems that require surgery. I'm not sure what all is required there, but tacking up of the bladder is only one procedure. Now that they have the insurance she will be able to have it done after the first of the year.
So, here I am, humbly saying "I apologize for any and all the things I have said negative about this woman that My Son Loves, and who gave me a Beautiful, intelligent and Loving Granddaughter".
