Thinking, thinking, thinking…

Some may argue that I don’t do that that is think before I write or talk. My impartiality about my views political and otherwise might rub some people the wrong way. I suppose on certain topics we all should tread lightly, the so-called taboo ones, hmm? Isn’t that sex, politics and religion? Gosh, what is there to talk about? Most of my Facebook friends are not shy or dishonest with their feelings, and not discussing mine seems downright wrong! Well, that has never stopped me before and won’t now. The same lament has reared its ugly head, that many out in our country are experiencing amnesia… And blaming our President Obama for our country's ills! Have you all forgotten that he inherited all of them from our previous President Bush? And that we have seen improvements in many areas at a slower pace, since any bills that Barack tries to get passed hit brick walls called the congress with leftover good ole boys from the Bush administration preventing him from making any headway! The National MS Society and AARP have both supported him on how he is protecting Medicare and making sure pre-existing patients with Multiple Sclerosis will now be helped! The other party tries to tell you that it is the opposite. It is true that the unemployment rate is still way too high, but continuing to give tax breaks to the very rich like Romney so that they can close more major employers businesses and factories so they can make more pocket change, in the millions, for only themselves, is way off and self destructive! Check your facts people, that’s all I am saying! We have very nice thing going on down here in Southwest Florida, the news stations on a regular basis verify the comments of the candidates in their TV commercials. That should be inaccuracies and in some cases downright misinformation. I do believe it is quite a service they're giving to their viewing public and makes us that much better informed. These are the networks from the major ones, the local affiliates and so they are responsible for checking their facts and buy-and whole whether or not the accuracy of that information is correct. I can't remember the last time anything like this has happened during a political campaign for so many months and it is refreshing to know reliability and honesty and non-bias reporting is still there for us to access, at least I would like to think that. It's not just one station doing this I noticed another also proving or disproving what the candidates have been saying and sure enough some things are not totally accurate or should I say true at all. Sadly, both candidates have not had their teams check their facts as well as they should have, leaving them with egg on their faces on occasion. So in reality with less than two months to go until we all cast our votes I have decided to ignore the commercials and all the e-mails I keep getting sent from them. Even phone calls wanting to know which way hubby and I are voting; we know and we tell them and they keep calling anyway. If you say you're voting for their candidate and ask them not to call you again; shouldn’t that be enough? Hubby and I registered as nonpartisan since we both believe that we vote for the right person, and that has been from either party over the years on a local basis as well as on a national basis. I truly believed that when we registered as nonpartisans that would stop the phone calls and e-mails and literature by snail mail from occurring. Didn't we all put our names on that do not call list? I know we did; what happened to that? I used to enjoy the political process as a kid we wore buttons stating who we wanted to win, since we were too young to vote. Civics is the way government is taught in public schools; I believe I have a basic knowledge of how government works but not as well as I would like to; not trying to be irreverent but I don’t think, neither do they. That's just my unrequested opinion, as usual. If that's not beating around the bush, no pun intended, I don't know what is… Perhaps religion is next, and I have a stockpile of ‘cringe factors’ so maybe we'll discuss some, SEX, next time? Let's face it, we all know it, we all do it, we believe or we don't, we do or we don't… That doesn't shock anyone? GOOD, than my job is done… And hopefully, we all vote, no ifs or ands about that! If there is nothing else we do in this life, living in a free country, where we have the ability to decide on one day in the year every four years who will be the one we choose… that is our obligation as American citizens and to ourselves, in a nation that has the ability to lead by example in the world arena. Gosh, how many times a day do we not remind one another that those young men and women all over the world are fighting for that, our freedom to decide for ourselves? On that something, I truly hope for us to think about, allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages, and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

ONE AFTER ANOTHER...

Do you know what really gets us in trouble in life? I'm going to take a shot at that, in my opinion, which you all know how much, that's worth... My usual is when I am sticking my nose into other peoples businesses and I do that all of the time so why should tonight be any different... And there are always ramifications when I say something and I can't take it back, and my blood boils, of course; it is my own fault. There are a lot of things that meet my title of tonight, but my first paragraph is not one of them; potato chips come to mind, although, believe it or not, this fattie doesn't care for those very much. I suppose that commercial about, “I bet you can't eat just one”, is sort of like a song that we can’t get out our head. Wasn't it the lament of another commercial, one after another, after another and on and on it went. And here’s one more, “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing?” I felt like saying, sure you can! Can we actually blame commercials for causing the obesity problem of today? Some believe we can. They say children who the Saturday morning programming is for, why they get inundated with commercials about sugarcoated this and that’s, although I do believe it may be changing, hooray to that! Although, our sons grew up with those and were never ever fat… Many things in life could be considered something we have to do on a fairly routine basis. But to us making a bed, urinating/defecating, brushing our teeth, bathing, preparing food, going to work or school, coming home are all things that have to get done. Shocking, especially in the way I put everything in an odd order, I am sure many of you do things in the order that is best suited to your needs, ha. Mundane, of course means, ordinary, dull, run of the mill, commonplace, average, you get the idea and so I just proved my point that sometimes, one after another, is necessary to maintain a system to accomplish what needs to be done no matter what. The problem arises only when your days also become so mundane that you cannot recall what day it is, because, one is just like the other, one after another, but there's no way that will ever change, really! So the next time something changes things in your mundane way of life on a specific day, shout hallelujah, since change can be oh so nice too. Even if it's teeny, a blip in time, but so is everything as we all know. The reality of ‘one after another’ keeps us focused and is nice to know that it's there and has to be maintained to somewhat get us from point A to point B and hopefully back again. And so the next time you're complaining, not like me but about something really important that got your day all screwy, remember the days, the much more quiet days that you became bored and take a deep breath and smile; yep, that's it, smile a big broad one! And you can remember easily for a BIG BROAD told you to, ha! Sadly, I must admit most of my days are 'one after another', and sometimes I don't remember if today is Tuesday or Wednesday or Saturday or Monday what-have-you, or even the month, no I'm not that bad yet, but when days are too similar; let's face it they can get rather boring and so although I have much trauma and drama on a regular basis to me I adore to be bored, ta-da! I suppose in my case boring is good. Everyone remember that we all have trauma and drama in our lives and if we wish to share we shouldn't be put down for allowing that… In my mind sharing is caring and always somehow many of us find the commonalities in our lives that way and know we are not alone. On that periodic disclaimer of mine on why I do what I do, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

The test results are back and there is good news and bad news, I think?

The good news is that there are no new lesions in my cervical region showing MS is responsible for my symptoms. On the other hand the… I won't say bad news but inconclusive news, until I see a neurosurgeon to straighten out the confusion to me of the report that hubby picked up from the imaging center. I called them this morning and asked them if my Dr. had received the report and they said she had it since yesterday and that they were going to bring the CD over this morning. So I called my doctor's office and got the nurse’s voicemail and left a message. Friday's they leave early, at noon. And so when I didn't hear from them by 12:30 PM, I called back the imaging center asking if maybe we could pick up the report and they said, sure. Wouldn't you know it that within the hour after hubby brought home the report the nurse from the doctor's office called and said everything was normal? I said everything was normal; we picked up the report and it says a whole bunch of stuff about my spinal stenosis from my C3 to my C7, things that are not normal, and there some hypertrophy which is like hyperplasia in my neck and moderate cervical stenosis especially between C5-6. And other not normal stuff; of course a lot of what was written can be due to normal aging, but much of it isn't, like what I mentioned here. That's when the nurse suggested she speak to my neurologist and thought perhaps I might need to see her partner the neurosurgeon. PS she was reading the same report in front of her at the same times as me. And since they're in the same office I can get a 20% discount, but if I needed surgery…She asked about me getting any insurance yet…I was up the creek without a paddle, due to no insurance, I thought. Due to this new turn of events I bit the bullet I hate that expression about ‘biting the bullet’; and so I contacted the government pre-existing insurance site, and called their toll-free number to ask some questions. There premiums did not change, they are still $376 a month with a $2000 deductible for the year; I guess I had that wrong, I thought it was per incident. After finding out that I might need a safety net, just in case of course I will have to reconsider my original way of thinking. The whole process takes about a month and you have to have a denial letter from an insurance company first to start the whole process. Gosh, if I only knew that sooner, I could have had dozens. Meanwhile, while I was enjoying my guilty pleasure of General Hospital, hubby called an insurance company and asked them if they would take me and he got the receptionist, since it's Friday, but he was able to leave a voicemail that was going to go to the proper person with the request. Geez, what did we ever do before we had voicemail? I know we all had answering machines that worked most of the time, but before that what did we have? Most of you kids can't remember that far back, but I do… If we had missed the call, we had missed the call and that was just it and people usually called back if it was important. At least that is the way we thought. I suppose to some of you that is shocking, that is not to know if or when someone called or who...any-who we wanted to believe if it was important enough they would call back, but it was a different time and we weren't supposed to get upset about things like that, no, not at all. And so in closing tonight I guess I'm no closer to knowing for sure what to do, except from experience using my brace like the orthopedic surgeon told me to do six years ago and icepacks on painful areas when necessary. Interestingly enough when I looked up what to do today again for cervical stenosis what I had been doing was correct. Rest seems to be an important component as well as physical therapy, which years ago I was given an exercise using a pillow around your neck holding it with your hands and pushing from side to side. Also anti-inflammatories or steroids even Tylenol and anti-seizure medication, is like what I am already taking, the gabapentin, oddly enough qualifies. I suppose when your symptoms become unbearable like anything else that's when the suggestion of surgical intervention comes up by the surgeon who does that sort of thing and neurosurgeons as well as orthopedic surgeons are the docs to go to for this. Now, I feel better informed and as we all know knowledge is power no one will argue that and so until I hear from my neurologist next week I will do my home treatments and that should suffice until I need professional intervention; or not. I am very happy to know that my MS is not progressing and that apparently my daily injections of my Copaxone is working. What more can I say tonight except, that sadly many illnesses have similar symptoms and mistakes do happen. But knowing that makes this all the wiser and also makes us realize that the human body can withstand an awful lot. On that grasp of more than one ill co-existing in the same body, allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time be here or be square, ya hear!

Nice talking to a distant relative by marriage and not so nice...

This morning I awoke at a normal time, that's not to say that I was sleeping soundly all night, because I didn't. Actually, the time I woke up was rather late, 7:42 AM. Yes, that even surprised me. But sadly, even with that my body wasn't working so well and when I arose, my left leg appeared to have something wrong with it; the pain was excruciating and familiar. This pain ran down the back of my leg from my hip/butt to my ankle, as if I hit my funny bone, which we all know is in our elbow, ain’t anatomy great! Nah, of course I'm kidding, it was sciatica, which I haven't had in years and it usually was on my right side anyway, so this was just downright weird. And taking an odder turn with numbness sensations intermingling too bi-laterally! The only thing I could come up with is when I was lying down on the bench of the MRI machine table yesterday, even though I had a pillow under my legs, since this was for my neck, but that still doesn't make any sense. Sure, a lot of things don't make sense and we all sure know that. So from experience I knew what to do get an ice pack and start cooling it down 20 min. on, 20 min. off and see what happens. And then I also needed to wear my cervical collar most all of the morning due to pain and numbness radiating down my arms and hands and once again scaring me. Gosh, it's so nice to have a Hubby for these times, as usual came through, since he always has my back. As trite as it seems at this point in my life he was the man to depend on most of this morning. I suppose my problem with my neck is not that severe, since the report has not come back and on their site it states that if it is it will be sent immediately to the doctor. Although, the office where the MRI was done says the report takes 24 to 48 hours to be sent; who knows... I have alienated even the nurses in many doctors’ office by thinking that they should get back to me as soon as they get the information, good or bad. And believe me even when it's been bad they've taken their time. I am probably the reason due to my impatience, oh well; we reap what we sow, who knows where that came from? Yep, the bible! Meaning what we do has consequences, well a giant OOPS for me, huh? Now, how did I know that; old or new testament? Has to be old, that’s the only one I studied, well not studied learned about… Is this my punishment? Can’t be, too many good people have horrid ills, but are way nicer than me these days! Any-who… knows; a good time for me to move on…, Now the relative thingy, everything is relative, kidding, or am I? I noticed on my distant cousin’s Facebook page a familiar name, my maiden minus the suffix. So I got curious, and went to this other person's site on Facebook and read a little bit about her and then I sent her a message with a question about if we were related and also a request for friending her. We started our conversation on the messaging section, and she said that her husband was related to me and that I was the same generation as his parents. I was confused, as we all know that doesn't take much to do, but in her information it stated that she was older than I. I took advantage of the situation, by teasing her and asking her how much younger her husband was than her. You see, I began to tell her how old I was and that might be incorrect the information she was given. Although, the possibility could be correct, since many of my cousins on my father’s side are 20 years older than me, and that is only due to the fact that he comes from a large family and he was the middle child. Besides that, I was the product of a second marriage and my dad was 43 and my mom was 39 when I was born. And so possibly that's where the problem of the generational confusion gave credence to that likelihood; anything is plausible. Interestingly, she is a writer as well, with leanings towards nonfiction and genealogy, of course of her family. The reason I said 'of course', is due to the fact that's one of the first things they teach you in writing class is to write about what you know. Coincidences are interesting and perhaps this new found relative, although distant, and only by marriage could prove to be a rather nice find as a friend. Unfortunately, she lives 3000 miles away, pen pals are nice too and today e-mail is fast as well as messaging; and so we will see what we will see as long as I can see. On that ridiculous last comment was based on fear, disregard or dispose of however you desire, and allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share your overages and we will too! And please be here or be square, ya hear!

The daughter of Isaac, answers, in the near future…

Tonight, I have a few topics that I want to discuss. Our friendly meteorologists seem to be blatantly expounding on the future of a familiar weather system, Isaac. Now it's not him coming back at us; it’s a remnant of his old self. And our local weather people felt that calling it the son of Isaac was funny and yes, it was cute. Although, brilliant hubby, suggested more logically, that an offspring of Isaac more than likely would be his daughter, since they alternate male-female names in the storm game and the next name would be, Nadine. Hopefully, she will just be a tropical depression and nothing more, but than she won't be named. You have to be a 40 mile an hour tropical storm to be legally bestowed a name. We can only hope that Nadine will not become one. Moving on… Well, today I had my cervical MRI at the same place I go each winter for my cranial MRI; it is less than 2 miles from my house, how convenient. The results should be in within 24 to 48 hours. I hope I'm not counting on this too much on solving my issues with my neck. Again, I awoke at that ungodly hour of 2 AM. Pain is my biggest issue causing this anomaly in my somewhat ordinary schedule. To be honest, I actually felt a little better today until I got there I had to put my neck brace on only every once in a while, but there it was bad, so I wore it in the machine. As we all know any brace, neck or back prevents the muscles from doing their job and in the long run can be detrimental to strengthening those muscles. This is the third time for me that I had to wear a neck brace, first time was when I was only 13 and had been in a car accident, as a passenger, and had gotten whiplash. The second time was 20 years later oddly enough when I was on that waterslide accident and I wore one each for my neck and my back and ended up in traction with that horrendous situation in the hospital when they injected me with that medication that nearly killed me. And then for the last seven maybe eight years due to those previous accidents and being older with arthritis as well my neck turning into cervical stenosis/spondylosis. And so even with my multiple sclerosis it makes it difficult to know just what's going on and why; so in the end result it is with the MRI to figure it all out. In the long run, I think it was the smartest thing that I could do and of course the doctor agreed or she wouldn’t have written the prescription. The only thing was, now I've had at least fifteen or more MRI’s in my lifetime, but for some reason, this one seemed extraordinarily way too noisy. And mind you, this is the same one I've been to before, how odd. Maybe the fact that I didn't get much sleep again could be the reason. I was given the customary earplugs and head phones and so I do understand why my head hurt more when I got there. These tests are more times than not necessary for the population at large with non-chronic ailments. In fact, just this week alone we received a newsletter from an organization that I belong to called H2U, which is affiliated with the local hospital, but is national, and has classes that you can go to, as well as social events, membership is just $15 bucks for the year, I think it went up, but I am grandfathered in... This month’s offering discussed just that, unnecessary tests. Although, that I have this history, it had been six years since I had this particular cervical MRI, and so it was warranted, and out of pocket too, and more cost effective than I originally thought at $325 with and without that light up your insides stuff, without it would have been $200. I suppose my social security kicked in right on time, so the amount didn’t hurt as much as it could have. That is why within days I should know what is causing the numbness in my arms, hands, fingertips and continual spasms in my lower extremities and numbness in my thighs or not, who knows. PS I am on medication for all of that already... Again, I am counting too much on the results... On that conundrum of my own unreasonable way of thinking allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

Tonight's blog is dedicated to Ellen DeGeneres's hysterical segment called 'clumsy thumbsies'

Tonight's blog is dedicated to Ellen DeGeneres and her hysterical segment called clumsy some things. (thumbsies) Don't be surprised with what you read tonight I am allowing wall (all) mistakes from Dragon to remain. I had a really bad night last night and that is both my cats went into the bathroom at the same time (that is because both of my calves went into spasms at the same time) and consequently the problem continued this morning, causing continuous stiffness. Frustration with my neck too about my hand continuing to be numb especially my fingertips Windsor without my neck brace on. (My fingertips are still numb even with my neck brace still on) I have been freezing all day long too so I've been in the sun room with socks and a bathrobe even a blanket when I'm around the house. My blood pressure is extremely low at one point was even as low as 62/40 some like the (something like that) and now it is normal but even my temperature was as low as 96.7, but all is normal mail (now). Except, I am still cold sitting in the sun room that is 81° and I Serves Dills death (calves are still stiff) in my thighs are not (and my thighs are still numb). So I called my doctor, my neurologist, around 9:30 AM and I got the nurses would mail (the nurse's voice mail) and so I left a message with my name and phone were (with my name and phone number) and of course TMI of an explanation. When I heard no response Israel 12:30 AM (around 12:30 AM) I called again and I got their service which told me they were at lunch the that around 132 clock ( around 1:30, 2:00). So I tried again in a busy city (and I got busy signals) and the service again saying they should be back by now and that I will try their back number. And so she did. I got to speak to the nurse around 2:30 PM and she said balmy writeback (she would call me right back) after I get a hold of the Dr. when I didn't hear back from her by four o'clock I called again and it turns out the office was closed. I told the service of the nurse such on the that he said all try the back number again (I told the service that the nurse said she would call me back and the answering service said she would call the back number again). Geez, I want that back number, date time. (BIG TIME!) Finally, the nurse did call, but by this time I finally decided to go into the shower. I had been putting it off all day waiting for her to call back hubby was home and so I asked him to take the message. Of course the phone rang while I was just getting out of the shower, still naked and that ridiculous baloney I could hear through the door that they weren't going to tell hubby anything since they didn't have it on file that he could know what's going on, ladies the! (CRAZY!) Did my best imitation of Howard's mother voice the Big Bang Theory I yelled out of the door acts ridiculous he I I then tell him! (that’s ridiculous! he’s my husband!) Although, at the time I didn't realize I was doing her voice oddly enough it just came out of me, must be Jewish Mother syndrome and I fit the bill, being both, you got a love that show information we (you gotta love that show!) And I have told them that hubby and always know what's going on, we have no secrets. The per annum this is, (the parenthesis) are my translations of what Dragon did not understand of my speech pattern. I thought it would be interesting to see how next up (how mixed up) this could all be and truth (in truth) it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, so there is hope for this program and I to complex (to accomplish) great things in our future together. Okay, enough is enough. Our (oh) I forgot one thing the last thing the nurse said to me was nothing, but when she spoke with hubby and told him that the Dr. wanted me to have a cervical MRI and that they would set it up with the local facility to do it at low cost for the of insured (uninsured). That doesn't seem to be the case though, only time will tell. Supposedly, she was calling them right away and they would call me back right away; still waiting. Oh well… Explain (next line, next line, and the signal for a new paragraph) I suppose I am a fool that (since) I believe that someone will call eventually and give me a wonderful price. One that I can live with and I won't have to sell my home to pay for it and become paralyzed from not knowing what is next. In reality I do know I have many possibilities before anything so dire comes to be. As usual I am scaredy-cat, which just knowing that last night I was a hard act (ass), probably knows I met my quota for my cringe factors. Any-who, with cervical stenosis diagnosed about eight years ago and the MS it's hard to tell which is wasn't what (causing what), still going. If this is so confusing, I apologize, tomorrow night I will intervene more so to try and make what is but (put) down here understandable. On that promise, allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too Filmation (!)ha, H a! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

LABOR DAY IN AMERICA!

“The First Labor Day
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.
In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.”
Thanks to the below site that you can copy and paste for more information: http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/laborday.htm

Although, many people continue to work today in spite of it being a holiday of rest for the working man or woman, most have no choice due to the necessity of their type of work. Hospitals are open, law enforcement and fire departments are all necessary to our infrastructure to work well and of course for safety purposes. And retail stores have BIG sales, as we all know.
Then you have the military who work no matter what and businesses, such as the restaurants and also nursing homes’ staffs, and gosh there are quite a few aren’t there?

I stopped listing all the possibilities for they would take all day and all night too, but you get my drift.
On the whole, we as a country deserve to fulfill this day of rest, although, essential people are needed all of the time.

But if you have ever noticed over the years many people who are part-timers are willing to step in for the full-time personnel. And during this time they could be not much different from the understudies that wait in the wings for a star to miss a night, but not due to illness of course, they would never wish that on anyone, well maybe not.
Oh no, I suppose another way for someone to miss a night would be due to passing on, and no, I didn't mean that either!
Perhaps, another member of their family needed them or they had a nice happy date, personal or career-wise or something else fun to do, who knows, but never that other horrid possibility, no, never.

Now you really should think that in all professions there are people who are underutilized and are waiting for their big day to prove themselves.
And today could've been their day.
So when professionals and others not quite there yet get their chance to demonstrate themselves, it's a wonderful idea and everyone can benefit from doing this.
I see it on the TV shows, especially the news programs, where the fresh out of college kids get their chance to show their stuff; and they, by in far, mostly succeed!
We, as consumers of all types of products including what we see are very lucky, that many of these people that are chosen are excellent in their fields and that they have been selected it is a win, win situation for all of us.

In closing, I just want to say that this day is one that means a lot to our work force, and always has for over 100 years.
So the next time you get sick on a holiday and the main staff at a hospital is the second string, don't get angry, and think about what I just said. We all need to know that we are just parts of the bigger picture and that sometimes although, decisions are made that have nothing to do with us; it is the time when we should learn to be the most understanding.

When I think of what I just said, I can remember a time back in 1983 when I became hospitalized for my back injury due to an accident and it was Columbus Day weekend and they almost killed me; forget what I just said…
Hospitals should have the best doctors and nurses available all of the time and that is on holidays too!
Not funny at all, that was when I was injected with opiates while in traction, and they had to call for a crash cart! Sadly, it wasn't the first time they injected me, they did it numerous times, so that's why it's not a good idea to have the second string in hospitals even during holidays. I re-iterate, NOT GOOD!

Now, people may disagree with me and say that could happen with any doctors or nurses, since it was more than likely an allergic reaction. Well, that is why I bought a physicians desk reference book when I was well enough to get one and according to what I read only 1% have that reaction to those medications, though some may conclude that I was that 1%, and I have a tendency to agree, but must I remind you I'm no doctor. Also, here's where there was a problem, in order to get a hold of my doctor they had to call him in Hawaii, while this was happening in New Jersey, then. To be honest in my case, it was as they say the perfect storm. Who knows if the outcome would have been any different, you're right and so there is no blanket reasoning for any logical result or any different effect. And no, I did not sue. I thought about it and instead when the doctor kept sending me a bill, his personal bill my co-pay to him since I was insured at the time and it was other than the hospital bill for his services. I called his office and told him what had happened, but of course he knew, and that I felt he should not be paid and he agreed. It was only a couple hundred bucks, at that time not that much for me since we were in business and not that much for him either.

On that ending, I hear you saying finally, allow me to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too!

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

PS all mistakes are recently more enhanced, guess what Dragon also has a problem with words that sound the same but mean different things, homophones and homonyms! So please bear with me for the next few months while I try hard to fine tune this program, thank you the management!
