Milestones are becoming the norm around here!

Sure today was a follow-up to the follow-up of my office visit for my cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery sounds so common and ordinary, when mine was much, much more than that!

It was more like a perceptually remedying a so-called futile problem with it being obliterated, cancelled!

My eye was misbehaving a wee bit with swelling causing my 20/25 eyesight to appear to be a slightly lesser 20/30.
Still healing I was told…great, because I got a wee bit concerned.

I was told that the Travatan medication was no longer needed my eye pressure was fine.

This time I arrived via my scooter!

It had been months since I was able to confidently use it without bumping into people or things! It was used since the doctor’s office is quite a walk away from the parking lot…
Heather and Jill both felt that it would a wonderful idea to write an editorial comment, like I used to do often; about my experience as a celebration and this evening I did. When I asked for their input on how they thought I should celebrate.

It is already on its way to the Charlotte Sun Herald Newspaper, to Brian Gleason, the editor in-charge of such things. The criteria had not changed in all these years, with the 250 words maximum (which was always difficult for me, but I did do it!) and your name and city included in the item. I so much enjoyed writing those by-lines better where the perimeters were so much wider, word wise.

Hubby insisted that we go out to lunch and so I agreed this time, when everyone concurred that my eye was not that bloodshot anymore, and so we went to Chili’s.

And I had Hubby place my walker into the car too before we left home since for short distances I thought I could try that as well, and he did find a spot right out front across from the entrance and I did it!

Although, the server did first try to seat us further into the dinning-room at first, but I wimped out for a closer seating place. I confessed that it was my first outing without my wheelchair.
I sat across from Hubby with my right side on the aisle, my used to be blind side, but not anymore!

I ordered their spicy shrimp tacos that I had weeks or months ago that were great!
And Hubby chose a half sandwich, turkey club with their cheddar potato soup.
Hubby had his usual cup of java, sugar no cream, and I had my unsweet iced tea with extra lemons.

When we arrived home, I must admit I was pooped.
But in my mind I was already thinking on how to give myself a facial with homemade ingredients like I used to, once my eye is all better… it’s is tough even in the shower where I wash my hair keep the suds out.

I know I have to do something, with this new x-ray vision it appears my skin has been terribly neglected and fortunately I can now see it all! I almost said ‘unfortunately’, shame on me!
Weight of course is a priority, and I had a glimpse of that issue too, and sure I would love to get back to the gym/rehab or even just walk the neighborhood… but I am still, yep still congested and on Mucinex as per doc Nord.

And with us warming up as usual I have my heat problem, of course...

I could try five minutes one way and then five minutes back. When I walked years ago I did that and got myself up to an hour and half then, until my hips gave out and was told to stop!
I have never ever wanted to be sedentary, but my body tells me bad things too often… I still have time to figure it out though until my next appointment I am on hold… for that anyway.

Oh, another BIG milestone today was the beginning of the Copaxone 40 MG. today, only three injections a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, instead of the Copaxone 20 MG. daily shots!
I called the Shared Solutions the patient helping associated company with TEVA, the pharmaceutical company that makes the Copaxone like I was asked to, and their reasoning was for them to add it to my information file.

On that note of many notes allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and to ask you to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

How does one celebrate a somewhat miraculous occurrence?

 


Sure many things in life are considered miraculous, a baby being born healthy, a person recovering from a thought to be fatal disease, a person surviving an accident... you get the idea...And in most every case one would like to think that those involved had a way to commemorate the amazingly wonderful occurrence, wouldn’t you?

And although my small miracle of last Friday the twenty-eighth of March was not a life and death happening, but to me and my immediate family it was an extremely special, never thought it could ever be thingy! Which by even minimal standards it is important in the bigger picture of life’s commemorated personal historic events, hmm? 

It's not everyday that one of my years who was basically told to "forget about it", I am hearing in a Tony Soprano voice/accent. But having that little voice inside of me yelling instead, "NO, I WON'T!"
And sure enough when given the chance to change my doomed for existence of being perceptually challenged forever I felt the need to try for more even when told that only a little might happen.

Some may have believed that I was a foolish gal and others may be thinking why did it take so long to go forward? 
I have told why in my previous blogs...
Once more I was told that the optic nerve was dead and even if the cataract was removed it would make no difference.

It is more than wonderful that I had a NEW doc, Klein, who did a low tech test that showed him that my eye was contracting according to how he moved a small simple flashlight. None of the others, two eye doctors, or my former neurologist was able to tell?

Any-who, for fear of beating this proverbial, 'dead horse' to death again, let me remind all of you as well as myself the motivation for tonight's question that truly needs a very special suitable answer.


And a delay in the celebration is most important too, since my magical mystical eye with the sight is still healing and looks that way...

I suppose allowing it to go and just accept the tremendous fact that I can see now and well with both eyes is just something to be grateful for, without any hoopla, but for some reason it feels that it's taking this wonderful thing for granted, ya know?

I'm by no means religious, and anyone who knows me will tell you that, but for some reason it just seems it should be respected with some acknowledgement, ya know?

Too many milestones in life we might forget if we didn't honor their happening in some way, as if caring is just as important as what did occur too.
It's human.

And so even if no one answers me as many don't, I will try to not let this very important thing in my life not be forgotten.

So on that note of some note, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

EYE DROPS!

Anyone might tell you that their doctor gave them such and such drops prior to cataract surgery and such and such after the surgery too and all do as far as I know, since this is my second time going through this.

Although, my previous experience was totally different, as most people will tell you too. For me it was with two different doctors/surgeons in two different counties.

I was almost elated to know that the caviar priced teensy bottle of Besivance, an antibiotic the first on the left in the above PIC, would be used until done, with no need to for refills as of yet. At seventy bucks a pop that was more than refreshing to know and that was with my insurance, otherwise it would be $150! (three times a day till done/gone)

Durezol right next to it is a steroid medication and also was quite expensive, but the first one was a sample with a gift card worth $160 bucks the doctor's office gave to me, even so it was thirty-five bucks, otherwise $125, for another teensy weensy amount too! (three times a day for proper healing, instructions: do not stop!)

The Travatan is to prevent pressure in the eye and is used one time a day at bedtime. I was given a sample; so far no more was expected to be used after this is gone/done.

The other two are non prescription over the counter drops for dry eye and can be used whenever I want or need to, and the larger bottle was mine to begin with, the Blink and the other was one of two samples from the doctor's office.

Anyone who takes medication as much or even a little sometimes suffers from dry eye issues. And I have had doctor's try all sorts of methods to help mine, but the drops seem to be the one thing that does work when I remember to use them.

My eye is still as red and raw as last night's picture of it and I didn't feel it necessary to show you that again. 
And yes my eye is still sore, but my eyesight is still amazingly TERRIFIC!!!!!
Patience has never been my strong suite, but I have no choice,and I wouldn't have not done this even with the pain I am experiencing. This doctor Klein is too good to be true, he accepts phone calls 24/7, and his tech, Jill, attested to that! With saying as I always say that there are no stupid questions ever.


But I some how feel that I don't want to take advantage of this too good to be true doc, been there done that... you all know me!

So any-who, I have resigned myself to a singular capsule of 500mg. of Tylenol when absolutely necessary. The directions say to take two.

On that note of time will be on my side this time, I truly feel...and so allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and all of you to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

I can see clearly now! ♪♫ ♪♫ ♪♫...




Almost there as you can see above my eye going through the surgery is still recovering and right now looks angry red! I have several drops to put in during the day and at night and that darling hard patch thingy still have to be worn for six more nights only!

Oh for you who do not follow me on Facebook I am here this evening with miraculous beyond belief news!
We went to the doctor's office this morning so he could take the patch off and check my eye and what happened next was earth shattering ... not only could I see my hand but everyone and everything and the BIG E was a meek minuscule desire forgotten swiftly... the informal test appeared to indicate that my righty was seeing 20/25! Normal eyesight is 20/20, as everyone knows! Considering when last tested, prior to surgery, mine was something like 20/800; this was truly a miracle or was it?

You see, after my initial bout of optic neuritis back in July of 2010 and after the IV steroids treatment that did not work at that time. My next brain MRI in February of the following year 2011, according to my former neurologist who stated that my optic nerve was dead and that they do not regenerate. You see, in the interim and before it was an absolute on the optic neuritis unbeknownst to her I went to my ophthalmologist surgeon, he had done my cataract on my left eye in January of 2010, who had concurred that I did indeed have optic neuritis and that at that time I had a very slight cataract that could not be held responsible for my blurriness. Even another optometrist I consulted too, since I was concern with going on those harsh IV 1000 MG. of Solu Medrol for three days again, and that for my first time I had been hospitalized for their administration back in April of 2009 for an exacerbation of the MS, which left me with a horrible infection, a UTI from the catheter.

As my eyesight appeared to diminish over the years I would consult my neuro and the eye doctors and they would constantly tell me the same thing that although my cataract was now growing larger with the optic nerve not functioning it wouldn't be worth it to remove the cataract.
Before this change in insurance it would have been out of pocket, like in 2010 to pay for the surgery in the thousands, but if there were a chance I was willing to take it, but they kept saying it wouldn't be worth it.

Now with the so-called OBAMACARE and my co-pay of only 200 bucks and my old eye docs no longer on this new insurance so I decided to try an old doctor I went to years ago and he examined me and noticed that my eye contracted with the test telling him the nerve seemed to have something there, but with my now enormous cataract, due to more than likely all the additional IV steroids as well as the pill ones, it was hard for him to be absolutely certain, thus his conservative diagnosis of me possibly seeing the BIG E.

Well, today made it all worth while it was well worth it all!
I will not need any glasses and if my physical therapy helps if I can stay infection free to go back and strengthen my legs I may again be able to drive our car! I will have what I originally had wanted with my left eye as a reading eye/lens, circa 2010, and my righty my distance/lens, circa 2014! Just like when I used to wear my mono contact lenses as a young gal! There are several great things about having permanent lenses,like you don't have to take them out ever and you don't have to take them out ever and you don't have to take them out ever, and also your prescription doesn't change ever! LOL!

I do have a letter/formal complaint going out tomorrow to the state Division of Medical Quality Assurance telling all. 

As far as a legal case goes, according to two attorney offices where we inquired, since I am actually better, not worse, and I did not suffer lasting disability from the misdiagnosis and therefore there is no case. 

On that note of much note, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS Thanks to Ron for the title tonight. Can you hear me singing?

Third World medical disasters live in America!



The above is what is garnishing my punim.

You see the fact is that although my optic nerve is not working according to my former NEUROLOGIST, "DOCTOR" AMY MELLOR, who told me to not bother and it wasn't worth removing my cataract since my eyesight could not and would not be improved upon due to the fact that MY OPTIC NERVE IS GONE and they do not regenerate, of course they don't! And she did this for three and a half years!

Everyone knows that.



But the cataract was beyond belief according to DOCTOR KLEIN, the ophthalmologist surgeon who removed it and compared it to one's found in THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES!!!!!

It was way over ripe and past the point of no return and could have caused more major issues and it did need to be removed, consequently.



The jury is still out on whether I will be seeing the BIG "E" tomorrow when doc takes the dandy hard patch off.

He does this surgery old school, different from my left eye, totally, and he has been doing it his way for thirty-five years, slice and stitches, sometimes they have to be removed and sometimes they dissolve.

Tomorrow morning I will find out which ones I have. 

I was put under and according to the fine staff at the Gulf Pointe Surgery Center in Port Charlotte Florida, they did everything in their power to make sure I awoke from the anesthesia just fine, and I did.

Thank you staff!



Only one weird after affect so far is that my nose appears to be running even more so and sneezes come and go more than I remember, how odd?

Coughing is not too bad, though… and that is odd too… I'm still taking that Mucinex like clockwork, as per Dr. Nord, internist said.



On these notes of lotsa quotes, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to count all your blessings and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

Nearly in the home stretch...


 


Have any of you ever tried harder than you would like to hold a bodily noise from coming out of you?

 
Not the flatulence type, who has control over that?

 
Hiccups, sneezes, and coughs may all come under the category that I am referring to... not as easy as some may think, hmm?
 
Laughing and crying are emotions and I am more than sure at one time or another you have not had total control over stopping  that either?

 
You see, what has come to pass is that the determining factor for my impending eye surgery to take place, is whether or not I can stop myself from coughing for more than a half of an hour. Easy to do for anyone without said cough, but with one it becomes more of a challenge, you can bet your sweet tushy on that one!

 
Timing one's self puts the pressure on, ever notice that?
I guess not if you have not done that particular thing, but if you had, it would be, I would think, nearly the same with anything you were trying to prevent from coming out of you, naturally... vomit comes to mind, sadly, vomit comes to my mind...

 
Any-who, simplicity is nice in life and most would think that going for cataract eye surgery is a walk in the park...
 
And for most it is.
 
But I have never ever done anything easy, statistically, a given, for me, that is.


So this bacterial infection that my doctor told me to continue with the Mucinex indefinitely taking since the Cipro was done Monday, and it has been approved with two of my many prescriptions prior to surgery, my blood pressure, my thyroid and now this OTC one, with a small sip of water to wash all four pills down only! Two of the three are the Mucinex, got it?



Nothing to eat or drink after midnight, but you all know the routine, and yep, I will be under anesthesia for this simplistic surgery that millions go through daily and that I have been through for lefty a little over four years ago.


No difficulties then.


No boatload of meds then either or infections or concern if I will actually be seeing you or not…


My coughing appears to not be as bad as when I lie down then it is a bit worse, and that is what worries me, although I don’t think I should be lying down for this type of surgery!

But when the pre-op nurse who finished my forms with me called back, Corinne, she spoke with the anesthesiologist asking if I could take the Mucinex and also about the cough, and of course that a fever is a no go too…


I have been dropping those golden drops, (more than $150, bargain priced ala insurance only $70 for just a teensy weensy amount) into my eye, i.e. righty, for these last three days as I was told to do…hate for it to be for nothing, ya know?



Did I mention that Hubby made an unbelievable dinner for me tonight, and that he euphemistically has called it,  my “Last Supper”? HOPE NOT! Yes, he bought from the fish monger at our grocery, two lobster tails and from their produce asparagus and small potatoes to round out the meal. We eat early, so all is done and gone, saying that it is was amazingly wonderful would be quite the understatement.



I have hinted through out this dissertation when this surgery will occur and that is as far as I will go… but wishing some one luck who is frightened, although, I have been through many a surgery over the years with anesthesia.

Perhaps, it is what I have on the line this time, sight or no sight…for an eye that was said to be not worth the effort by my previous neurologist…



On that note, I am going for hope and we will see what we will see!

Truer words never said before by this gal…



So allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a happy good night and ask all of you to count all your blessings and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

People are mystical, fantastical, and amazingly resilient.

We, the people of this world, I personally know none other, do you?

We are incredible creatures that roam wherever our hearts take us to train on those who we need or they need us or just simply enough both.

Life is a live motion of constant flux desiring to change therefore always changing, but at times the reality of that change temporarily eludes us. And most of all we appear to go with that flow once understood; whether reluctantly or with as much exuberance as one can muster.

A friend never fully realized moves on and leaves and sadly we can only take the good from what they did do and that is left to dwell in our hearts and minds for all eternity, here.

Sadly minds whether well or sick do not have the full capacity to remember everything and so this journal can and will stand for all time.

Memories will suffice till time returns one's self to saying NEVER EVER LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH the same way again, with honesty a gift was given, twice, and much appreciated; more than any can ever realize, generosity is a wonderful attribute and thanks is never ever enough to the unexpected.
Perhaps not that big a deal to them, but to us, and thanks again mister, we both thank you for that joy of music throughout our land and for us to be a part of up close and personal two fold, although more was offered.
Moving on…
People are truly good by nature and well meaning and damn me for misunderstanding another fellows offer to be helpful and misunderstanding the whole of the deed.
Me not they again were responsible. I think that fairly soon, I will need a translator, even for English, which this person was writing in. and so was the article he posted which was about a woman being attacked/raped violently, she has MS and due to her medications and I suppose her lack of abilities appeared under the influence and so she was disbelieved by law enforcement in NJ?

Ignorance is never BLISS!I mean me in not getting what this fine person was trying to do, show me another story about MS being misunderstood, how ironic that I misunderstood him...AHA!

Sure at times with our MS, Multiple Sclerosis we appear to look drunk due to our balance issues and our medication does at times seem extreme but for a good reason to help us feel better to deal with our symptoms…

“Early Symptoms of MS

  • Blurred or double vision
  • Thinking problems
  • Clumsiness or a lack of coordination
  • Loss of balance
  • Numbness
  • Tingling
  • Weakness in an arm or leg
No two people have exactly the same symptoms of MS.”
To read more goto: http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/guide/multiple-sclerosis-diagnosis

Those symptoms listed above are all beginning indicators, but you can have one or two or all or any numeric quantity, nothing is written in stone and as the last line says they ARE different for everyone. And many of those could be the same for other conditions so always talk to your physician when you think anything is amiss.

On that note of many notes, in tune I do hope, as the gentleman in the first segment of this essay had for many years in his career choice of joyously bringing musicality to this land that we locals chose to call home...
Now allow me to be the first to wish you all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

RAIN!

What can we say about rain?
It is a welcoming relief from a hot summer's day, or a drought or fire seasons, which is what we here in Florida, are in, but it can be dangerous too.

Sadly, rain can cause floods and mudslides and tornadoes and hurricanes...yes and that is very bad.

We are enjoying our tame rain, while many in our country are suffering from the results of theirs causing horrific mudslides in Washington state, killing eight with more than one hundred unaccounted for as of yet...Our prayers go out to them.

In more news...
 
As of today a British satellite has seemed to have picked up the pings from Flight 370 the Malaysian airliner has crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, families although now know it goes without saying that they are of course are grief stricken. Our condolences are sent to all with love.


Moving on…

My eye surgery is scheduled for the end of this week.
If anyone recalls why I am having said surgery it is because I am willing to pay my mere a $200 co-pay for the surgery to remove an enormous cataract covering the optic nerve dead blind eye, which without insurance would be thousands, just to find out if my righty eye will be able to see the BIG E on the eye chart, scary or crazy or both, hmm? Perception is everything and supposedly if it works my balance that was compromised before with Ataxia and its optic nerve dying after that issue might also improve slightly. So it’s not an absolute, and I am going into this with my eyes wide open! Interesting choice of words; purposely using them, hmm?

Slowly I turned and as in most things in life there are hidden charges… Sure even with cataract surgery and any of you out there who have had it know what I am talking about.

The pre-medication prior to surgery the prescription was given to me three weeks ago when Jill measured me for my lens. Hubby picked it up Friday, at first he went to our usual pharmacy but they did not have in stock so he went to Walgreen’s and they had it but it was to take an hour to be ready, he had shopping but no problems.

When he went back to pick it up they informed him that it was $150! He said what? Oh they checked again and said with MY insurance it would only be $70, whew! I wonder if they did that to him so the seventy didn’t seem so bad and this is for Besivance 0.6% OPTH Suspension 5 ml., what? Yep a real tiny amount that can be refilled 3X; sure hope NOT!
Oddly enough it is an antibiotic used for conjunctivitis.
But for this off brand use it is being used four times a day for three days prior to surgery, one drop each time of the eye to be operated on in the lower lid and held closed for one to two minutes with each application.
Weather is good and bad and happy and sad and so it is much like life in those ways…

So I will leave you tonight with that thought of my odd analogy, or maybe not so odd after all… and please try your darndest to have a happy one and kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

I'm NOT Sleeping Beauty!

And no, I didn't eat a poison apple either.
It appears that breaking the curse of, "THE MUCUS” is going to be a more difficult case to crack than at first I thought...
Just when you think that it is safe to resume normal programming of your life, you get a BIG slap in your face, head, nose, throat and ears who all start saying in unison, uh, uh, UH!
Or at least it sounds that way to your overly congested self and this after you thought you tried everything...
You know the conforming to medical ideals of how this game should be played, by rules that somehow they, the doctors, got their hands on by going to medical school for a gazillion years or there abouts, but then it's time to take pause and ask, "Was this OTC or that OTC medication was it invented when they who are closer to your age than is natural for someone to still be breathing and talking and working at the same time should be, were those approved over the counter meds even invented when they were taught to make people well...?"
Diet is also another choice that I made to do and did, really, really, really try for GOSH, days; well at least a few more than is naturally healthy to terminate all the food that G-d meant for us to eat, like pizza and antipasto, ya know?

I do have a confession to make… I did do something stupid.



Oh you are all wondering whatever THAT could be, hmm?



You are all yelling that you know what I did that I ate the PIZZA and ANTIPASTO!

Oh you’re not?

I can’t hear you anyway and this is just downright silly, because some might think I am just arguing with myself, but we all know that is impossible, true?

Oh NO!

I still can’t hear you!

Which is good, since I understand if I could, then I would have real problems…any-who, so let me just suppose, you see, suppositions are a wee bit different than assuming which if you recall makes an ass of you and me and no there is nothing that suppositions make, except supposings, okay, ya know?

Nah, but it sounds good, anyway, the dumb thing I did too yesterday when I was busy throwing something, I forgot, oh logic, to the wind I decided that perhaps… now don’t think anymore badly of me than you already do but I thought that that Mucinex should be gone with the Italian cuisine too, ya know?

A walk on the wild side, hmm?



But I was oh so wraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, ong!



And today all day I have been once again compliant, back on the MUCINEX, every four hours, like clockwork, although I did wait until ten A.M. to be sure…but to me there is NO BIG difference yet, what am I doing WRONG?



This is the ridiculous lament of impatient patient…

That’s all.



On that note of how much longer will this take , since my eye surgery is this week, thus my impatience… allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!



PS when the pre-op nurse called Friday she said that it will still be a go as long as I don’t have a fever. But with being put out I worry that I will choke on my nasty MUCUS!!!!!!!

Is the curse broken?

It's not often that one decides to throw caution to the wind and say the hell with what is supposed to be the logical reasoning of how to handle a situation.

Oh sure it is.

That's the way life goes...
People choose to do what they believe to be their best choice.
G-d Bless America and all that!
Freedom of choice and all...

Tonight I came to a conclusion, perhaps later I will find it to be the wrong one, but that's my choice, right?

Yep, I made the enormous decision to change my way of thinking and do something quite unconventional for someone in my position.

Curious?

I bet you are.

Tonight I thought that it would be a deviation from the norm, to let's just say, do something out of the ordinary, ya know?

More curious?

That goes without saying... I am getting a mystical feeling that I am right!

You wanna know, you gotta know, you have-ta know, hmm?

Well, maybe I'll tell you and maybe I won't...

Nah, I will.   

Do you all remember my blog entitled, "Quinoa?"

Okay, I will take your silence as a yes.
Any-who, that one had a specific diet etched into it for preventing the build up of mucus in your northern hemisphere of your body, and therefore sticking to it would make you feel better?
To be honest I conformed to it and nearly cause myself to become one of those Orthorexia types!

STOP THE MADNESS!

And so, the solution to the cure is to send someone like HUBBY, in my case actually, HUBBY, to curtail my over indulgence and slap me silly with a taste of reality and some real food!
My co-conspirator, has gone, by mutual bequest, on a pizza and antipasto run!

Life is good!
Why ruin it with rules.
TA DA!

On that note of another much desired quote, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear? 

PS: Oh the title... the curse of mucus coming out of every crevice above the neck region, well nothing was working and so thus...this latest... experimentation... we will see what we will see.
PSS: A little over a week ago I received my NEW health insurance cards (2), and guess what? Yesterday I received a welcome letter telling me that my cards will be coming soon? 

PSSS:Life is confusing enough...so why not do anything that sounds like it will make you feel oh so GOOD! (kids that means within reason and parental approval, of course!)

Speaking My Mind: Which way will the war go?

Speaking My Mind: Which way will the war go? :   My eyesight is going again... in case you missed it... Netanyahu snaps back against growing...
