I watched a telecast of CBS' broadcast of 9/11of the events at Ground Zero, Pentagon, Shanksville and I went out to a church service which although sad was done quite beautifully. It was so windy that during the service the one set of doors kept blowing open. We were able to light a candle from the Paschal Candle and bring it with us. I had to get it lit twice and then it quickly went out since it was so windy out today. September 11th has touch each and every one of us in a way we never forget. I just hope and pray although a tragedy that some good will come out of this. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Sand & Stone TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT. DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE IN THE FACE. THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND 'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE' THEY KEPT ON WALKING, UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS, WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH . THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE MIRE! AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM. AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING, HE WROTE ON A STONE: 'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE' THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU, YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW, YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?' THE FRIEND REPLIED 'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.. BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US, WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT' LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. THEY SAY IT TAKES A MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON, AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Gloria, Its good to hear you are feeling better, Keep fighting the councils, its amazing how the Govenrment thinks, I wonder sometimes if it isnt population control /lol. If you think your govn is crazy hows this, in the good ol usa, My husband was diagnosed with hiv in 92' he was offerred to be put into a LOTTERY DRAWING for a then new treatment, he told them to give his ticket to a child who did not deserve this. I was not infected with hiv THANK GOD but he did share the hepc with me. At least thats what the Drs think. I did not find out why I was sick for 13 years, the Drs insisted I was depressed. Obviously i had reason to be, but also had children to raise and life had to continue without him. imagine they tell you a LOTTERY TICKET!!!While at the same time a pro basketball player was also infected, thats when it hit the news, and he had the MONEY for the new drugs and is still alive and appears to be well today. I wish anyone sick with any disease to be able to get treatment, our wealth determines our health sometimes. Although the medicare system paid to maintain him while alive, towards the end he had cryptococta-menegitis (basically meng, in the brain) they then said you need a drug that cost 1200.00 per bag for 21 days and your insurance will not cover this, without this drug you will die in excruciating pain that all the morphine in the world will not help!! After contacting the local media he received enough for 3 days which enabledhim to feel well enough to come home and pass at home. We can not depend on the government with our healthcare. If the docs dont even know what they are doing YET how can we expect anyone who has not lived it to understand. They will not listen to us untill it affects themselves or someone dear to them. I am so blessed that i did not also get hiv- but i dont think the stigma that goes with it is much different. How do we make them understand how prevelant this disease is???. Hey did you know that dogs get Hepc, they are not shooting drugs, i asked my dr how the pets could gets it he laughed and sid I dont know, maybe eating infected feces. Makes no sense to me but he is labeled the DR. My resolve is to focus on my diet, forget excersize, my body just cant do it and im not forcing it. More imortant than anything PEACE of mind. Without finding peace daily i might as well give up the fight im not giving up yet!! Canada sounds so peaceful, my husband and i planned a trip there before he was diagnosed but then when he was I gave my ticket to his dad so they could go together. I got to see pics though. Boy was I jealous, but it was the right thing to do. He was an only child.Who knows maybe i should put that on the bucket list. Reality is telling me that I am old enough now that even if the Hep kills me it will not be before my time anyway and i have been blessed beyond what i expected in life anyway. I know im babbleing. Its good to talk to someone who you know without a doubt knows what you feel. Sorry to be off topic but i think we all just need aomeone to talk to at times in addition to all of the helpfull info.

I read back on my postings to you in the past when i too responded to your negativity and when i read them i actually thought "I SAID THAT" you might do the same to reflect on how we express ourselves in frustation to each other, sometimes not so good. so i take this time to aplolgize for any mis-understanding we may have had in text-and say that i can tell from your anger that you too are sufferring.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Betty:You can babble to me anytime and about anything that the mind frees up to speak about!! I believe thoroughly that is what the sharing, caring and support is all about.That is so horribly sad about your husband!!! Nobody deserves these diseases but I tend to agree with your husband about a Lottery Drawing. I've been around for good while now and lived life to the fullest, mistakes and all. However, I would not accept treatment nor a new liver, if it meant that a child would have to suffer for one second longer. I think that the real crime here, is that even at the end - the drugs to help reduce his horrendous suffering would cost THAT much?? Just horrible, horrible and inhumane!!! That does make me so glad that I live in Canada. It can not happen here like you described.I did not know that dogs could get Hep C, WOW. That would be interesting to research wouldn't it?? I still miss my little guy so much and he's been gone almost a year now. He and my two cats, loved me absolutely unconditionally through my first treatment. Now the eldest cat and the dog have already passed and the third cat is really showing his age. However, he seldom ever will set foot in the bedroom and I believe that it's because at the least the other cat is still there looking out for me. Nah, I'm not wierd - I feel her crossing over my legs in the night and yet sit up to find neither of our two cats are in the room.I do get a lot of self-satisfaction when I address the governments from the top down to even a stupid little City Council. It not only does not stress me, it would stress me bitterly if I didn't do it. My very dear friend in Vancouver has been working on a show that will help to raise some money to help her real cause, which is advocacy and awareness of Hep C. I don't know how she manages to find the energy, because her body is very much beaten up with the affects of Hep C and she has to be on maintenance doses of Interferon because she can't do full treatment.Anyway - here is a link to the show she is involved with: The African Children's Choir 25th Anniversary Gala Celebration <http://lists.africanchildrenschoir.com/t/y/l/kdjjdu/l/r>The African Children’s Choir 25^th Anniversary Gala Celebration*/Honouring Sir Bob Geldof/*Featuring Performances by the *World Acclaimed African Children’s Choir*With Special Guests the *Legendary Rodgers and Beth Nielsen Chapman*September 29, 2009*Cocktails at 6:30 pm with Dinner and Festivities to Follow*Fairmont Hotel Vancouver*A little more about the choir...*At any given time, 400-500 choir participants are supported in Africa by the lower mainland based African Children’s Choir. In addition, the organization has not limited their support to choir members but has reached out to over 8000 children who may have otherwise perished. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, politicians,.... these orphans have embraced the “gift of life†provided by this organization and have gone on to give back to the organization, to their communities and to society. The African Children’s Choir has gained International recognition, performing at the White House, Live 8 London, Liberty medal ceremony for Bono of U2, American Idol – Idol gives Back, OneXOne and the Edinburgh Fringe.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Gloria, Thanks so much for the link. Its makes me appreciate my life AS IT IS, I want to help these children so badly it makes me sob. Just when we think we have problems we find everyone evrywhere could be suffering worse. I believe God put me here to endure what possibly someone else may not ne able to endure. I know your friend much take great pride in her care and support of the children May God Bless the both of you. The smile on Angels face is priceless. If that were the last thing i saw in this life that smile would bring me peace!!!

Nah, I'm not wierd - I feel her crossing over my legs in the night and yet sit up to find neither of our two cats are in the room.I do get a lot of self-satisfaction when I address the governments from the top down to even a stupid little City Council. It not only does not stress me, it would stress me bitterly if I didn't do it. My very dear friend in Vancouver has been working on a show that will help to raise some money to help her real cause, which is advocacy and awareness of Hep C. I don't know how she manages to find the energy, because her body is very much beaten up with the affects of Hep C and she has to be on maintenance doses of Interferon because she can't do full treatment.Anyway - here is a link to the show she is involved with: The African Children's Choir 25th Anniversary Gala Celebration <http://lists. africanchildrens choir.com/ t/y/l/kdjjdu/ l/r>The African Children’s Choir 25^th Anniversary Gala Celebration*/Honouring Sir Bob Geldof/*Featuring Performances by the *World Acclaimed African Children’s Choir*With Special Guests the *Legendary Rodgers and Beth Nielsen Chapman*September 29, 2009*Cocktails at 6:30 pm with Dinner and Festivities to Follow*Fairmont Hotel Vancouver*A little more about the choir...*At any given time, 400-500 choir participants are supported in Africa by the lower mainland based African Children’s Choir. In addition, the organization has not limited their support to choir members but has reached out to over 8000 children who may have otherwise perished. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, politicians, .... these orphans have embraced the “gift of life†provided by this organization and have gone on to give back to the organization, to their communities and to society. The African Children’s Choir has gained International recognition, performing at the White House, Live 8 London, Liberty medal ceremony for Bono of U2, American Idol – Idol gives Back, OneXOne and the Edinburgh Fringe. The Choir has performed with McCartney, Annie Lennox, h Carey, Wyclef Josh Groban, Faith Hill and Urban, to name just a few.For tickets and information go to http://www.africanc hildrenschoir. com/gala* For More Info*http://www.straight .com/article- 255281/voice- africas-future this link is great ...read about the amazing work Ray Barnett does! http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=zddEkXTsL8U & feature=fvw Geldof and Bonohttp://www.youtube. com/watch? v=Sat1Jy8ikrU Geldof Gloria, Its good to hear you are feeling better, Keep fighting the councils, its amazing how the Govenrment thinks, I wonder sometimes if it isnt population control /lol. If you think your govn is crazy hows this, in the good ol usa, My husband was diagnosed with hiv in 92' he was offerred to be put into a LOTTERY DRAWING for a then new treatment, he told them to give his ticket to a child who did not deserve this. I was not infected with hiv THANK GOD but he did share the hepc with me. At least thats what the Drs think. I did not find out why I was sick for 13 years, the Drs insisted I was depressed. Obviously i had reason to be, but also had children to raise and life had to continue without him. imagine they tell you a LOTTERY TICKET!!!While at the same time a pro basketball player was also infected, thats when it hit the news, and he had the MONEY for the new drugs and is still alive and appears to be well today. I wish anyone sick with any disease to be able to get treatment, our wealth determines our health sometimes. Although the medicare system paid to maintain him while alive, towards the end he had cryptococta- menegitis (basically meng, in the brain) they then said you need a drug that cost 1200.00 per bag for 21 days and your insurance will not cover this, without this drug you will die in excruciating pain that all the morphine in the world will not help!! After contacting the local media he received enough for 3 days which enabledhim to feel well enough to come home and pass at home. We can not depend on the government with our healthcare. If the docs dont even know what they are doing YET how can we expect anyone who has not lived it to understand. They will not listen to us untill it affects themselves or someone dear to them. I am so blessed that i did not also get hiv- but i dont think the stigma that goes with it is much different. How do we make them understand how prevelant this disease is???. Hey did you know that dogs get Hepc, they are not shooting drugs, i asked my dr how the pets could gets it he laughed and sid I dont know, maybe eating infected feces. Makes no sense to me but he is labeled the DR. My resolve is to focus on my diet, forget excersize, my body just cant do it and im not forcing it. More imortant than anything PEACE of mind. Without finding peace daily i might as well give up the fight im not giving up yet!! Canada sounds so peaceful, my husband and i planned a trip there before he was diagnosed but then when he was I gave my ticket to his dad so they could go together. I got to see pics though. Boy was I jealous, but it was the right thing to do. He was an only child.Who knows maybe i should put that on the bucket list. Reality is telling me that I am old enough now that even if the Hep kills me it will not be before my time anyway and i have been blessed beyond what i expected in life anyway. I know im babbleing. Its good to talk to someone who you know without a doubt knows what you feel. Sorry to be off topic but i think we all just need aomeone to talk to at times in addition to all of the helpfull info.

Are you going to try to tell me that Methadone is not addictive and in fact, more so than Heroin?? Surely to heavens there must be a much better natural source, for whatever you have to use it for, than driving to town to pick up a script that wires you both physically and mentally. Even legal pot would be a much better choice. Hell, even street pot would be better!!For me, I do not plan to get wired to any medications, until the times comes, if it ever does, that I just don't care anymore that I'm addicted. Meaning, that I'm close to the end of life !! I will and am, wide open to eating better although I hardly eat now and my body already tells me what it wants and doesn't want. I still work part-time at least and do not have the time nor the energy to research every funky thing I've seen posted on any of these sites, that I already know I would not have the least interest in trying.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Betty:My friend's real work is for the advocacy and support of those suffering this Hep C. This is an avenue she has been blessed to be involved in that will help her toward that goal. Sir Bob Geldof is actually I believe, a Canadian who has worked his heart out for the horrible starvation in Africa. Now, I'm not sure at all that he is Canadian, only that he worked in Vancouver for a time; but, he was knighted by the queen for his works, however, because he is not British, he's not supposed to use the Sir title.My friend has been to this site but because of everything she's involved in right now, hardly has time to draw a breath never mind pour over her many e-mails.Gloria Gloria, Thanks so much for the link. Its makes me appreciate my life AS IT IS, I want to help these children so badly it makes me sob. Just when we think we have problems we find everyone evrywhere could be suffering worse. I believe God put me here to endure what possibly someone else may not ne able to endure. I know your friend much take great pride in her care and support of the children May God Bless the both of you. The smile on Angels face is priceless. If that were the last thing i saw in this life that smile would bring me peace!!!

I believe thoroughly that is what the sharing, caring and support is all about.That is so horribly sad about your husband!!! Nobody deserves these diseases but I tend to agree with your husband about a Lottery Drawing. I've been around for good while now and lived life to the fullest, mistakes and all. However, I would not accept treatment nor a new liver, if it meant that a child would have to suffer for one second longer. I think that the real crime here, is that even at the end - the drugs to help reduce his horrendous suffering would cost THAT much?? Just horrible, horrible and inhumane!!! That does make me so glad that I live in Canada. It can not happen here like you described.I did not know that dogs could get Hep C, WOW. That would be interesting to research wouldn't it?? I still miss my little guy so much and he's been gone almost a year now. He and my two cats, loved me absolutely unconditionally through my first treatment. Now the eldest cat and the dog have already passed and the third cat is really showing his age. However, he seldom ever will set foot in the bedroom and I believe that it's because at the least the other cat is still there looking out for me.
