Go do...

And so we did … Yes, we left the family compound today!
You don’t believe me?
Oh yes we did… and we went over the bridge to River City AKA Punta Gorda.
The convention center there on the water’s edge was having their bi-annual Home and Garden Show once again!
Since we have been living here in Charlotte County Florida I don’t think that we have missed one of their offerings that were for free.
New innovations are what it is supposed to be all about.
But I guess that I am not that observant or the changes were quite subtle, since I didn’t notice anything new.
It’s true though that I am not that smart.
In actuality we don’t need a thing, and so unless you do and are looking specifically for that obscure piece of this or that it’s just nice to leave the house and talk with new people who I do enjoy to no end…F-R-E-E-D-O-M!
I did and do most often feel like a prisoner in my home as I have mentioned before, mostly because the air, let’s make that heat is frightful outdoors and not at all good for anyone with my condition, i.e. MS, Multiple Sclerosis!
The reason I felt the need to only mention the why of the hot air reasoning was not good for me is because I don’t recall if I had lately in this nightly babble, and since my audience appears to change frequently I felt the need to bring them up to speed, got that?
It has been proven that extreme heat that is unnatural high temperatures are hazardous to all our health but people with MS, Multiple Sclerosis it can cause more lesions on the brain and spinal cord therefore exacerbating negative symptoms of what I have now going on, Optic Neuritis and the like, OK?
Here in Florida it is always a concern since we are warmer more often than colder, but too cold does nothing good for MS either! Although to be fair a bit of cooler does feel better for MS but not too cold which causes me to have more spasticity and some to have complaint’s of Raynaud’s Phenomenon or Syndrome when your skin turns to a purplish color from the cold and becomes very numb.
So the idea is to find a happy medium.
To me mid-seventies would be just perfect with low humidity.

Back to the Home Show, while there someone selling in home water treatment systems asked to test my water in my natural springs water bottle, and came back with test strip in her hand stating that human feces was abnormally high in my sealed before handing it to her bottle, YUCK, BIG TIME!!!!!
And the hard to believe part is that our city water makes me ill but this bottle stuff never has? Not to be untrusting but when she took my bottle of water I did not watch her the whole time and who knows if she had recently been to the washroom and forgot to wash her own hands when she used the test strip, I’m only saying that it could be possible, huh?
With my disgusting thoughts still floating through my brain she took advantage of that and had me quickly make an appointment for them to come out to our home to test our city water for us on this coming Tuesday…but as I started to think more clearly, not to say she wasn’t on the up and up, but Hubby and I discussed it and tomorrow I will call her and explain that we are in no position to purchase her system so even though the test is free, we will say thanks but no thanks. Besides the county tests our water regularly these days whenever we call them that is. I can’t drink the house water and this bottle water was just fine and after we left I did drink, I hear you all saying yuck!
But it never caused any problems before…and so far I don’t feel sick in that way.
And my last blood tests would have shown something like that and it didn’t and I have been drinking this stuff for years! I would think with those high levels of bad stuff I would have cholera or something similar by now! And I don’t, and I am sure I would know if I did that’s serious stuff!

Sadly, my trust of some people has become compromised in this economic situation of late due to most people’s desperation to make a buck, but who can blame them, really?
But isn’t that the reason that we are in such horrendous times?

Well, leaving you again with another provocative thought to ponder I will wish you all a very happy good night and suggest that you count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And folks … next time be here or be square, OK?
