An eagle kiss

This is the kind of story you need when it seems like

the world is spiraling out of control…..

Not many people get a picture of this proud bird snuggled up next to them!

Freedom and Jeff

Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn’t open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She’s my baby.

When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet’s office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks.

This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn’t stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn’t stand in a week. You know you don’t want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn’t want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn’t bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day.

We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington . We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even did a show about us.

In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair – the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Survey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.

Fast forward to November 2000

the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone.

So the first thing I did was get up to Survey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn’t said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don’t know how long . That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.

On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that..

I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom.

Hope you enjoyed this!

Cancer is a strange cell. You can go along for years in remission and then one day it pops its head up again. If you ever have it you will never be free of it.

A SMALL REQUEST…

  A small request…..Just one line

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating. Even if it’s only to one more person. In memory of anyone you know who has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it.

Hang in There!

Rope

11 PEOPLE … ON A ROPE

11 PEOPLE … ON A ROPE Eleven people were hanging on a rope, under a helicopter.

10 men and 1 woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, Because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren’t able to choose that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping . . … . . .

Blonde Pilot

 

This is the story of the blonde flying in a two-seater  airplane with just the pilot.

He has a heart attack and dies. She, frantic, calls out a May Day.

“May Day! May Day! Help me! Help me! My pilot had a heart attack and is dead.  And I don’t know how to fly. Help me!  Please help me!”

She hears a voice over the radio saying: “This is Air  Traffic Control and I have you loud and clear. I will talk you through this and  get you back on the ground. I’ve had a lot of experience with this  kind of problem.   ‘Now, just take a deep breath. Everything will be fine!  Now give me your height and position.”

She says, “I’m 5’4” and I support  Obama.”

“O.K.” says the voice on the radio…. “Repeat after me: Our  Father. Who art in Heaven. . . ..”

No changes with FB just yet … & Twitter

Well a friend on FB, Robert, has been trying to figure out what & why, asd did another (Hal), but when you try & ask & help via FB, you must sign in to see the comment(s), questions for FB, Help for FB, etc. and as they FB had blocked/locked me out, there was NO way I could see the comments or questions they had trying to help me – let alone the HELP section that FB has …. no way to contact FB because it is locked – they locked me out…so anyway I did give it a valent try again this morning when Robert had tried with a comment/question to try & figure it out … ! Saw the OLD picture that belongs to my OLD (original) account .. said only one photo in one album.
O K ~~~ I’ll bite. Saw my sign in – gave my password a try & low and behold it let me in and had a message for me :::

::::::::

Welcome Back to Facebook

Your account has been reactivated, but it may take a few hours for your content to be fully restored.

::::::::

Can you imagine!  It might be that Suggestion I send them last night after the cell phone verification!  AnyWay … I wrote on Robert’s Wall and maybe he will pass it on .. as I stated to him and to you that want to take no chances.  See I enjoy FB & the friends I’ve met – but somethng has changed with FB and their handling of what is seen.  I’d marked all as ‘Friends‘ because if you did not I would not see anything, even though FB had marked them as ‘friends’ did not mean that they were / yet.  And family – well that is another story.  And if you wanted to see what ANYONE had to share since your last visit – you MUST put them on the FEED.  Otherwise you miss what they share … and if THEY do not have YOU on the FEED list they will never see what YOU (me) Share. Messed Up that is.

So nevertheless, I’ll wait and see, as I’ve not received an e-mail from them .. so pins and needles for now.

As for TWITTER, for the time being, I will Tweet & see if they figure out what is going on with my account over there.  There should be no way that MY account should show a ‘REPLY @ / COMMENT @’ with my own name!  All the DM’S I’ve sent shows as
DM’S instead of anyone sending them to me.  Like the Fact that I use TrueTwit to verify … it Tells ME … to verify!  So for now I’ll keep Twitter a ‘few’ more hours or days.

Stay tuned!  In the meantime … or Better YET – keep reading here on my WordPress Blog!

Well ~ I’ve deleted my account on Facebook – as they needed another verification…done ~ then blolcked me from certain things — like requests friends for 30 days!  Now who is messing with me?!

So as for Twitter– after DM’s sent to most all I was following that I was leaving, and I deleted the account, went right back and kept it, and will for a few days to see if

anything with Twitter changes.  Like replying back to my own tweet?! What! And the DM’s I’ve sent – instead of the DM’s others send… and a couple of other minor things.

So we shall see what happens within the next few days.

As for here on WP ~ happy ~WordPress

but I don’t know how to add my Fun Links to the Menu on this.

May each of you have a blessed and happy Sunday and week ahead full of laughter!

I cannot win for loosing with Facebook after someone hacked my account.

After waiting for 6-7 days for FB to reply to my verification – waiting, and waiting and waiting some more….Made second one … then tried to delete the one I had created – because they finally (FB) decided to unlock my account.  By this time, I had already changed passwords several times .. had to change e-mail info  .. and now they licke4d mne out again when trying to figure all this out & keep my friends (and notify) … only to be locked out again …with verification of cell phone # — then they tell me someone else uses that # — Do you Suppose that it is ME – dumb Assssssss.

So if I can get back into FB any time soon .. I will DELETE & might NEVER go back!

But then I would loose the contacts I’ve made – and family that lives in other

states.  What to do?????  And – TWITTER – something is wrong there too – but if I deactivate – can I het back in with same info?

Can I get back with FB and the same info?

I’m not that savvy with tech stuff – but I do enjoy the connections … what a shame that someone felt it necessary to hack my account(s) ((( yes Twiytter was done once before)))

OH WELL.

*^* This is what I mean with FB *^*

WELL ~~~ now THEY (FB)  HAVE BLOCKED ME FOR 30 DAYS!

Modern Technology

Modern Technology

I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
“This is the 21st century, old man” he said. “We don’t waste money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPod.”
I can tell you, that fly never knew what hit it…

Trouble Bound

Well it appears that TROUBLE is following me this year.

It started in December when I just wanted a break – my Mothers sister was here from NC & we had a great time.

Then they both got sick … she (Aunt) went back to NC (after @ 5 days) & Mother stayed sick. (First part April Mom turned 84)

On the 23rd Dec I found out that my cancer was back after being ‘ok’ for the last five years, so that was another reason. On that same day found out that Daddys cancer was back in a different location. SO I was intent on getting my health in order to help Daddy & if I were to have {if I decided to} I would have a good idea as to what was wrong or not & fix it before treatment.

Can you follow this so far?

Normal start to getting things scheduled…eye, teeth, gyn etc. On January 4th or 5th after the eye exam and eyes totally dialated asked Dad to pick up – easy right – ? We were hit on the drivers side by someone who ran the STOP sign on a side street!

On January 11th Daddys sister died. His last sibling. Daddy is left (end April he turned 87).

February 4th – in the afternoon – I had picked up the glasses I had ordered & was making sure they were right (they had been re-made before) then I added the coating… so dropped them off and went on to the grocery store to get a few things for Mom & Dad & me. (I live across the street from them).

Well, I locked my keys in the trunk!!! I usually never put things in the trunk, but back seat, but I was going to drop theirs off – right – easy……NOT. While waiting for Dad to bring the extra keys, yes I had called, was waiting near front door of the grocery store —– FELL. BROKE RIGHT WRIST & I’m right handed. THREE (3) days before my BD!

In Mist of all this somewhere – I cannot find date – my cousin died….and I’ve got a very sick Aunt on Mothers side – another sister in NC.

March – Daddy began HIS research study treatment for his Cancer Melanoma, with the fact that back in September Daddy had had surgery on his left arm lymph nodes where they removed 20 (twenty) but only one they found the cancer. Now his cancer is in the clavical ? & possibly adriannel ? glands. His treatment IS NOT CHEMO – but a new treatment that is to build UP the system instead of tearing it down…and with his age he could not have done the Chemo (I nor the Doctor thinks). He has had three [3] treatments & they said all appears to be going good. It is given with IV … 90 MINUTES (or so)… Then OFF 3 weeks then IV again…

Mom is doing OK – just totally worried about Daddy & her Sister(s).

Get through April with nothing Major – I think – But let May come!!!

May 1st — about 12:30pm — had done watering in front yard – made sure the plants were ok … so needed coffee pot -maker–so ok run quick…..did not change to ‘good’ clothes grabbed the keys & purse – next thing I know after walking out door to the car…

I WAS ON THE HARD CEMENT SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS! Back board – Neck collar – ER – & 7 days in the Hospital! Shattered my LEFT shoulder out of the socket & broke it. So I have three screws and a rod! …. talk about pain………….

The two weeks before I had been seeing a Cardio Doctor & he found some problems after running various tests ((for which the Neuro Doctor had suggested seeing the Cardio because when he did the MRI of the brain …. saw nothing of major change – just (old age…)) I had just seen him on Monday – and this happened on Tuesday! He was wonderful!

So while in the hospital I was ‘implanted with a TRACE MONITOR -not pacemaker and I have to carry a device with me in a case. So TWO surgeries – one for the heart (just under the skin) & the other my shoulder.

Hope you understand why I’ve not been commenting or writing.

Maybe if I can get through this I’ll have more to tell.

I’ll fix the typos etc later……………..

 

Daddy Cancer – We Needs Prayers

  • Find me on  Twitter and FacceBook……………..

#Daddy had 1st treatment 2day 4 CANCER #Ipilimumab. He did very well 2day-his next treatment – April 18th.#PLEASE pass & pray MY 4DAD who has Melanoma.

 

Thanks!

Words from Me

Well – I’ve got a lot of reading of post to catch up on … but I will get around to it…hopefully soon.

Today marked a milestone for me — ONE YEAR — Not smoking!  I could not be more proud.  Had tried before and never worked – glad this time was a charm … while it was hard, well worth it!

Turned 60 back in February! Yea! I guess.!! Well at least I’m here.

My Cancer is back – but that is OK … My DAD’S cancer is back and that is the one that I’m most worried about.  He will be in a research test study – beginning soon … and I pray that that  will take all the cancer away.  He will be 87 in April 0 and Mom will be 84 in April.

When I found out in December that my cancer was back *( we did not know about dad’s yet)* I started wanting to get health in order (and try before I turned 60) that when it came time for treatment I would know what I would be dealing with!  Well good intentions – right – when Dad picked me up from the Eye Doctor on January 5th and heading home (less then 1/4 mile) someone ran a stop sign and hit us – on driver side – daddy – but OK…..Then on February 4th – just before my Birthday …. went to store (Winn Dixie) … picked up a few things and proceded to LOCK my keys in the trunk!  Called Dad to please bring set of spare keys … and while waiting for him, I FELL and broke my RIGHT wrist in two places . at the wrist and into the thumb!  Still trying to recover from this!  Then March 6th is when we found that Dad cancer back.  I’m still trying to keep things together.

Over the Holidays (or December and into January) – Mothers Sister(s) throught state and one stayed with Mom for awhile – we had fun with them (her) … (remember I live across from my parents) .. One sister pased through … going on a cruise and brought the other sister for a visit…both Mom & that Sister got sick!  Mom’s brother came via his plane a took sister back to NC … then she was able to cone back again … this time Mom and She were NOT SICK!

Then My Dad’s Sister – his only sibling left – died of Cancer… on January 11th.

So — that is just a short re-cap of what I’ve been trying to do and why I’ve not been writing or responding – in December – wanted a break to get things in order with my health … and well as you can see I’m still working on it.

This is hoping that all of you are doing better and having a great 1st quarter of this new year.

I beg .. for prayers .. and hope to be Up & Running again here soon….

UNTIL then … HUGS!

Dear Mr. OBAMA

Amazing how something with no vulgarity can be one of the most insulting and powerful messages to Obama!

…JUST NOT SILENT ANY MORE!

 

 

Damn, this is a great country!

Damn, this is a great country

This morning I went to sign my dogs up for welfare.

At first the lady said, “Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare.” So I explained to her that my dogs are mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can’t speak English and have no clue who their Daddy’s are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care. So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My dogs get their first checks on Friday.

Damn, this is a great country!

 

What a Make-Over

I’m seldom impressed with progams that enhance way beyond the normal – because Understanding them, I do not.  But for those who do, creations are amazing as to what and how they do what they do.  The creative art of imagination and smoothing skin, reducing the size of ones waist, or the other end to become outrageous.  Some of those programs involved are Photoshop – which I do not understand but admire.

 

So when I came across something while visiting a site that was brought to my attention awhile back,  Give Away Of The Day, which I visit every once in awhile and saw something that sounded ‘interesting’ on Wednesday – (Yesterday) December 14, 2011 – downloaded it and gave it a try.

 

Love the program.  When one is down and out and feeling bad – looks bad … this is a lift that boost the inner feeling in me.  Battling cancer – (amongst other things) .. This was of curosity …. and did not make me feel as old (and older some days) than I am … it made me feel and look better.  And it can even show what shades may look better on me. Who knew!

 

While the ‘giveawayoftheday’ for this item is over – you just might find something equally as exciting for you there.

(and the price to purchase seems ok)

The Program is ArcSoft Perfect365 and their Link

Price is $29.99

I feel as though I look a bit like I did in

So I hope you will enjoy this Picture & the Program with the link of Daily Give-Aways.

This orphaned baby bat

 is the cutest thing you’ll see all day

 

If you’re eating pancakes right now, don’t even bother pouring on the syrup. This is the sweetest thing you’ll see all day, nay, all week. This is the tale of Lil’ Drac, an orphaned short-tailed fruit bat who was raised by the folks at Bat World Sanctuary. Here’s his biography:

 

His mother was yet another casualty from zoo closures which are occurring across the US. She is a young mother who was stressed from the conditions in which she was kept, combined with the additional trauma of being captured and transferred to a new and unfamiliar environment. Consequently, she abandoned Lil’ Drac after he was born. He was found on the padded floor of the indoor flight enclosure at Bat World Sanctuary, curled up in a little ball.

This  poem is very sweet.

If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty

On the days you’re feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own;

A place to find serenity,

A place to be alone.

^*^

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea,

But all these things, I’m finding,

Are impossible for me.

^*^

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair,

But let me be what I know best,

A friend who’s always there..

This is a Hug Certificate!!

Memories we will make

of moments we share

of happy times

and sorrow shared.

 

Memory Lane

We all have one:

Take change of this life

and make it a good one.

 

With lots to share

of love we hold…

sorrow we bare…

while growing old.

These memories we build

and share you see…

BUILD that love

for all to see.

 

They’ll think back;

long after we’re gone,

of the good times we had,

not in sorrow…

but SONG!

 

Take hold of this thought:

Down Memory Lane -­

Share all you can to help

someone else;

Build a Memory Lane.

Stolen ART ? WHY

I’ve had an account with DeviantART for about four years and this has just come to my attention once again about someone thinking it is OK to STEAL ART from ones page and place it on another site without any regard to acknowledge the ownership of the original artist who took the time to create works that are appreciated … let alone ever ASK if it could be placed and SHOWCASED!

This is the site — http://roseric.centerblog.net/rub-fractals-.html — and the artists at Deviantart have verified that some of their own works are there – but have no way to get the attention and credit them with ‘stolen’ goods …. in a language that they do not understand…as I understand what the artists at dA have said.

Read the information here

 If you are the one on the site in question – I would suggest you take care of things!

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE

^*^*^*^*^*^*^

I did not write this

 – got in e-mail –

but nothing surprises me!

At the very least

it should make you LAUGH!!!

The Obama Justice Dept. has filed another lawsuit against a state trying to deal with illegal immigration. The state is South Carolina.

Joining Obama in the lawsuit are the following countries: Mexico, Honduras, Uruguay, Argentina, The Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador.

INCREDIBLE. INSTEAD OF APOLOGIZING TO SC FOR NOT ENFORCING THE IMMIGRATION LAWS, OBAMA IS SIDING WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES AGAINST CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES.

WHAT COUNTRY DOES THIS IDIOT THINK HE’S THE PRESIDENT OF?

Owed Two A Spell Chequer

And weight four it two say,

Weather eye am wrong oar write

And eye can put the error rite

Eye have run this poem threw it,

I am shore your pleased two no.

Its letter perfect awl the weigh,

My chequer tolled me sew.

R U A ^*^ Newsmax Reader:

Dear Newsmax Reader:

Please find below a special message from our sponsor, Lombardi’s Crisis Profit Alert. They have some important information to share with you. Thank you.

Newsmax.com

Dear Reader:

Something very big will happen in America within the next 180 days.

It will be more devastating than the credit crisis of 2008. For most people, it will hit them like a brick wall.

It will touch Americans harder and deeper than anything else we’ve seen since the Great Depression.

Michael Lombardi feels so strongly about this, he’s
decided to present his “Critical Warning Number Six” in a new video.

In case you’re not familiar with him…

Michael Lombardi has been widely recognized as
predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, he started advising his readers to buy gold– related investments when gold traded under $300 an ounce.

In 2006, he begged his readers to get out of the housing market…before it plunged.

He was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007.

Michael correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009.

Finally, Michael turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011—a gain of 99%.

I call Michael’s new video controversial because most people will not like what he has to say…they will find it hard to
believe until they see all the facts as Michael presents them.

Michael’s first five predictions have already come true. Now he’s issuing Critical Warning Number Six. I urge you to be among the first to see this new video here now.

Yours truly,
