Cellulitis Part DUX

Last year for Christmas my hubby gave me a resort stay. It was complete with a little Christmas tree, roaming minstrels singing Christmas ballads, separate beds, sleeping bags, a baby in a dresser drawer, IV's "Paging Dr. Stat, stat...". He had acquired Cellulistis and had to have an IV for almost a week.

This Christmas I got sick right after working out. (am I allergic to working out??)
It has lingered for 60 days. 60 DAYS!!! The last time I was really sick was May 2004- no seriously and that one was stressed induced flu/laryngitis.

I have had it all in 60 days and have not been to the DR for 1. they can't get me in when my symptoms are at its worst, and 2. I didn't think i was that sick.

Sunday my mom convinced me to go to Urgent Care. They thought it was mersa, but diagnosed me with cellulist in MY MOUTH/THROAT.

I have a rash every where today from the strong anti-biotics. Who knew? I have never even taken those before for an-y-thing.

Updates later... no pictures you don't want to see it in my throat. It is big, red, and weird.

It makes you think

Hello, all. These are not my words but they spoke to me ina way that I wanted to share them with anyone who might read my stuff. I got this from an email ...

545 PEOPLE

By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them...Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.
In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits...The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker Of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party.. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ.If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not avai lable to the people, it's because they want it that way..There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or"politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper. What you do with this article now that you have read it.......... Is up to you. This might be funny if it weren't so darned true.
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politici ans?'And I still have to 'press 1' for English!? I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!

What do you get the man who .... hates his birthday

Hate
MAY be a little strong, like 9th grade boys cologne. or I wish cologn, usually B.O.\
He said that his birthday has never been a big deal, why start now.

It isn't that it is nothing to me, I am just that terrible and cheap of a gift giver, coupled with the fact that he buys himself everthing he wants when he wants.

Leaving me with nuthin for his burfday.

SO>>>> I am begging for ideas. Got any? Send them my way. By the way his birthday is so close to V-Day that it makes it hard too. But send me those ideas anyway.

Thanks so much, cause right now I got nuthin'

Baby shower for SIL...

attended a funeral where I promised I WOULD NOT sing, but did so anyway at the last minute.

cleaned house again.

lost all dogs

aquired dog and friends, picked out a puppy, cat adopted us, another dog was given to us, told puppie "mom" that we would take another if they coudn't find homes for them...


Potentially have 4 dogs


and a CAT

Looked for a tamale maker who butchers goats (don't ask, you really really don't want to know what is in those tamales)

snowed and rained and a big mud hole...

cat got stuck in our attic

and baby is sick again- really she is never totally well. Her ears may have a problem since boogers are leaking out her ear again for the 3rd time. I can get an appointment on Friday to have them seen, but probabally can't get off from teaching...

Two birthdays are coming very soon ... one is oldest beauty who is turning 8. Where has the time gone?
