ABOUT LAST WEEK

I ALMOST DIED LAST WEEK. IT CHANGES YOUR PERSPECTIVE A LITTLE BIT...

IF I HAD BEEN ALONE, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IT...

THE PAIN WAS MERCILESS AND UNBEARABLE. 

THURSDAY MORNING I WOKE UP EARLY. HAVING RECOVERED FROM A SINUS COLD THAT MORNING. I WOKE UP CLEAR AND NOT A SIGN OF TROUBLE... AT FIRST...

IT WAS DARK AND EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP... AND I WAS REFRESHED AND RENEWED.... SO I THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK MY EMAIL FOR A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE GOING BACK TO SLEEP...  THE WEEKEND WAS STARTING FOR ME AS I WAS SCHEDULED OFF FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND SO... TIME TO SORT THE SPAM...

AFTER A BIT OF READING AND DELETING SPAM, IT WAS ONTO ANCESTRY AT SOME POINT TO DO SOME RESEARCH... AND THEN EVENTUALLY AT SOME POINT, IT STARTED, A LITTLE INDIGESTION PERHAPS... BUT IT GOT WORSE RAPIDLY... I DROPPED SOME ALKA SELTZER LIKE LAST TIME, BUT BY THEN THE PAIN WAS TOO MUCH AND I NEVER GOT THEM BOTH DOWN....  

BEFORE LONG I WAS PACING THE FLOOR AND TRYING TO START A BOWEL MOVEMENT THAT WOULD NOT COME FOR DAYS.... I THOUGHT IT WAS ANOTHER KIDNEY STONE AND TRIED TO GET SOME WATER AT SOME POINT... I WENT FOR THE BOTTLE I HAD USED TO PREP A CUP OF ALKA SELTZER WITH, BUT STARTED HURLING AND RAN BACK TO THE BATHROOM SINK TO KEEP FROM GOING ON THE FLOOR.... BUT I HAD BEEN SICK FOR A FEW DAYS AND HAD NOTHING ON MY STOMACH SO THE HURLING WAS EMPTY...

I TRIED SITTING STANDING WALKING LAYING DOWN NOTHING HELPED... HAD TO BE A KIDNEY STONE AGAIN.... SO I TRIED TO GO FOR WATER AGAIN BUT ENDED UP ON MY KNEES, BEGGING FOR MERCY....

IF I HAD BEEN ALONE, I MIGHT HAVE BLACKED OUT AND DIED....

IN THE PAST, WHEN THIS SORT OF THING WOULD HAPPEN IT WOULD EVENTUALLY LET UP AND I MIGHT PASS SOME GAS AND URINE AND A BOWEL MOVEMENT AND GET SOME SLEEP AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER LATER....

BUT THIS TIME, IT WAS DIFFERENT,... THIS TIME IT WAS NOT JUST A KIDNEY
STONE OR SOME INDIGESTION... RECENT INDIGESTIONS MAY HAVE BEEN WARNING SIGNS... BUT THIS TIME IT WAS NOT LETTING UP...

SWEAT WAS POURING OFF MY SKIN LIKE A WATER FOUNTAIN HAD BEEN TURNED ON INSIDE ME AND THE PAIN IN MY GUT WAS OFF THE CHARTS....

AT SOME POINT, MOM CALLED 911 BUT I COULD NOT MOVE... I KEPT TRYING TO FIND A COMFORT SPOT BUT THERE WAS NONE. I REMEMBERED FEELING LIKE THIS WHEN I GOT MY FIRST KIDNEY STONE AND SUFFERED FOR HOURS BEFORE I FINALLY LEARNED THAT I COULD HAVE STOPPED THE PAIN WITH A FEW CUPS OF WATER....

WHEN THE AMBULANCE CAME, THE QUESTIONS BEGAN....

NAME? DATE OF BIRTH? REALLY? NO WAY?  ADDRESS?  MEDICAL DOCTOR? MEDICAL HISTORY? ON AND ON AND ON... WHILE NO ONE WAS HELPING ME WITH THE POTENTIAL ALIEN ABOUT TO RIP THROUGH MY ABDOMEN.....

HOW COULD I BE EXPECTED TO THINK AND RESPOND TO QUESTIONS WHEN MY INSIDES FELT LIKE THEY WERE BEING CARVED UP BY FREDDY'S GLOVE.....

I TOOK THE AMBULANCE RIDE HOPING FOR SOMETHING TO EASE THE PAIN ON THE WAY... AND THEN A BUMPY RIDE ON AN ALREADY UPSET STOMACH TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE I SPENT THE REST OF THE MORNING HURTING AND PLANNING A WILL THAT I WOULD PROBABLY NOT GET TO WRITE.... ANYWAY, WHAT DID I HAVE TO LEAVE ANYONE?  I WAS HOMELESS AND WORKING HARD LABOR TO PAY ALL MY MONEY TO BILLS AND COLLECTORS WHO WANTED MONEY I DIDNT HAVE FROM THE EIGHTIES THAT CITIBANK WOULD NOT LEAVE ALONE.... I WAS JUST A MINIMUM WAGE WORKER AGAIN.... AFTER ALL... AFTER SEVEN YEARS THE COMPANY STARTED PAYING EVERYONE THE SAME,... IN OTHER WORDS, I WAS BACK TO SQUARE ONE... MAKING THE SAME AS THE NEXT KID WHO COMES IN OFF THE STREET... IS THAT FAIR TO ANYONE?... AFTER ALL THE PLANT CLOSINGS AND TEMP JOBS... RIGHT BACK TO WHERE I STARTED... I COULD LITERALLY GET ANOTHER JOB TOMORROW WITH ANOTHER COMPANY AND MAKE MORE MONEY DAY ONE....

SORRY, DIFFERENT LINE OF THOUGHT.... WHERE WAS I? OH YES,.... IN THE ER WISHING TO DIE.... AND THEN SOME X RAYS.... AND SOME TESTS AND A URINE SAMPLE AND SOME TESTS AND SOME MORE TESTS AND SOME INTRODUCTIONS AND SOME MORE QUESTIONS....

AND AT SOME POINT, FINALLY.... AN ANGEL OF MERCY IN SOME BLUE SCRUBS WITH A NEEDLE FULL OF SLEEP... I DONT KNOW WHAT SHE GAVE ME, BUT I DEFINITELY NEEDED MORE....

EVENTUALLY... I AWAKE TO A LESS PAINFUL WORLD AND TEST RESULTS....

PANCREATIS.... PANCREATITIS.... WHATEVER ITS CALLED AND SOME GALL STONES....

ENDED UP SHIPPING TO WINSTON AFTER DARK BUT STILL IN PAIN....

LIFE WAS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A DISASTER MOVIE BY NOW WITH REAL PAIN SENSATIONS....

THE NIGHT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME,... QUESTIONS AND INTROS AND TESTS AND BLOOD DRAWN AND NEEDLES... SO MANY NEEDLES.... I HATE NEEDLES BY THE WAY.... THE PAIN PILLS DIDNT HELP AT FIRST UNTIL THE MORPHINE CAME AND THEN THERE WAS A LOT MORE SLEEPING AND SO ON....

IF I HAD BEEN ALONE THAT MORNING I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE HERE NOW... TO EVEN REFLECT ON THE NIGHTMARE THAT WAS LAST WEEK.....  IF NOT FOR THE KINDNESS AND TRAINING OF A FEW DOZEN MEDICAL PERSONELL IN THE AMBULANCES AND HOSPITALS....

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE OUT THERE WHO HAVE TO WORK THOUGH THE NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS TO KEEP THE REST OF THE WORLD GOING....

MY FOGGY MORNING RIDE TO THE ER

ONE of my earliest memories is when i was hit in second grade, by a car... it was a foggy morning and i mean thick fog. The rents were late for work and in a big hurry so i was dropped off in front of the babysitters house and had to cross the street in the fog. I looked both ways but the fog was so thick i could not see anything and so i ran across the street.

As i reached the middle of the road, a car shot across the street in the next lane and my wrist hit the side mirror knocking it off and breaking my left wrist and then i was knocked to the ground and my head was busted open in the back. The rents took me to the hospital a little later where my mother told me not to groan or cry because it would upset the lady who hit me....

 i dont remember much more except being put on a stretcher and put under. they covered my face with a cloth and it got wet and then everything went black....

As i lay on the stretcher or bed or whatever it was, i left my body and floated above it looking down and i could see myself laying there... thats about all there is to tell... i had to get stitches in the back of my head and they put my arm in a cast, and since i was left handed, i couldnt go to school for a while.     
i tried to write with my other hand but it looked terrible.... was out for a few weeks i guess and it hurt for a while... as you get older memories fade and so i tried to write them down. what i can recall at least...

Victoria Claflin Woodhull, later Victoria Woodhull Martin (September 23, 1838 – June 9, 1927) was an American leader of the women's suffrage movement.
In 1872, Woodhull ran for President of the United States. While many historians and authors agree that Woodhull was the first woman to run for President of the United States, some have questioned that priority given issues with the legality of her run. They disagree with classifying it as a true candidacy because she was younger than the constitutionally mandated age of 35. However, election coverage by contemporary newspapers does not suggest age was a significant issue. The presidential inauguration was in March 1873. Woodhull's 35th birthday was in September 1873.
An activist for women's rights and labor reforms, Woodhull was also an advocate of free love, by which she meant the freedom to marry, divorce, and bear children without government interference.[1]
Woodhull twice went from rags to riches, her first fortune being made on the road as a highly successfulmagnetic healer[2] before she joined the spiritualist movement in the 1870s.[3] While authorship of many of her articles is disputed (many of her speeches on these topics were collaborations between Woodhull, her backers, and her second husband, Colonel James Blood[4]), her role as a representative of these movements was powerful. Together with her sister, Tennessee Claflin, she was the first woman to operate abrokerage firm on Wall Street; they were among the first women to found a newspaper, Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly, which began publication in 1870.[5]
Woodhull was politically active in the early 1870s, when she was nominated as the first woman candidate for the United States presidency, for which she is best known. Woodhull was the candidate in 1872 from the Equal Rights Party, supporting women's suffrage and equal rights. Her arrest on obscenity charges a few days before the election, for publishing an account of the alleged adulterous affair between the prominent minister Henry Ward Beecher and Elizabeth Tilton, added to the sensational coverage of her candidacy. She did not receive any electoral votes, and there is conflicting evidence about popular votes.

WHICH AVENGER ARE YOU? CAPTAIN AMERICA



Which Avenger Are You?
Captain America / Steve Rogers
You are most like Captain America. You have a strong "good guy" ethic, and hate injustice of any kind. Understanding what it's like to be pushed around helps you fight for the little guy. You are not one to give up too easily, and often get yourself into tricky situations just to prove your worth. Your high ideals and old fashioned manners set you apart from most of your peers.

WHICH AVENGER ARE YOU? HAWKEYE



Which Avenger Are You?
Hawkeye / Clint Barton
You are most like Hawkeye. You are independent and "street-smart". You prefer to stay out of the spotlight and look at the big picture of things. Though you tend to follow others and are very trusting, you are also not intimidated by those who might be stronger or smarter. You are precise and methodical, and once you have something in your sites, there isn't a thing that will stop you from hitting your mark.

THE MINIMUM WAGE DECEPTION IN AMERICA

RECENTLY, DEMOCRATS ASKED EMPLOYERS TO RAISE MINIMUM WAGES TO TEN TO SATISFY THE MASSES... EMPLOYERS RESPONDED BY GIVING RAISES... AND CUTTING HOURS SO THEY CAN PAY LESS... NOW CALIFORNIA IS RAISING MINIMUMS TO FIFTEEN.... AT LEAST NOW WE WILL GET MORE TIME OFF... IF YOU THINK THE RICH AND POWERFUL ARE ON YOUR SIDE... THINK HARDER...
MANAGEMENT AT ONE MAJOR STORE TOLD EMPLOYEES RECENTLY THAT STORES WILL BE STOCKING LESS AND ORDERING LESS AND CUTTING MORE HOURS SOON.... THIS MEANS EVEN SMALLER PAYCHECKS AHEAD FOR EMPLOYEES OF A MAJOR CORPORATION IN AMERICA...
MEANWHILE ANNOUNCEMENTS OF MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES ARE BEING USED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO MAKE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT GETTING SCREWED THINK THEY ARE MAKING PEOPLE MORE MONEY.... AND NOW THEY ARE BEGINNING TO ANNOUNCE ANOTHER INCREASE???

Using Facebook pages for selling your books and artwork.

Facebook pages are fun to run and simple, but not for profit. Sure you can advertise your products with them and market your services and get to know your customers. FB pages are great marketing tools, no doubt, but they arent that profitable. They are okay for a business to use as a website, but not good enough for a writer or poet or artist.

Your Facebook community can help sell your book, but you cant make any money from it alone. Keep that in mind when you think about writing your book on a Facebook page. There's no money in it. However, you can advertise and sell a book with it. That's the difference between profit and loss. Dont give too much away for free.
