My pets had worms and now I have them too..ugh.

'Brandy',my dog

If you thought you couldn't get sick from your pet, think again! Yeh I have what my dog had and still is ill as I noticed a mucousy stool today. I have flukes or cysts in my stool. Went to doctor and had lab work done so will see what i need to do next when i get back the results. For more on parasites, read here.

Entrecard, Smentrecard,hmph..

my response to Entrecard's latest comment about waht is going on on this social network:

What?!!? Is this math class NOW?! omg! It is so confusing what is going on here to the laymen like me here who are not up on all this tech jargon but are simply looking to spread the word about their sites,business,blogs,products and services. i think Entrecard should expand on the concept of a 'FREE' network similar to 'Ubuntu' soffware which i have on my lap top as opposed to Windows which costs money to load along with 'Webroot' for spyware which costs as opposed to FREE adware out there. I think most people here are artists,moms and entrepreneurs who don't have deep pockets but possess the spirit and survival skills necessary in these troubled,unstable times. One no longer has job security and can not count on a pension or a gold watch when they reach retirement age. Instead, many who have given their lives to their companies, to have a home and a better life, are losing their jobs,being handed a pink slip,being replaced by younger,inexperienced, but ed ucated workers and are being kicked out of their homes! This is our reality today. Why i became an entrepreneur and i think is why many of YOU did too! Make Entrecard a different better social network symbolic of that 'spirit' of CHANGE facing Americs NOW! Read more here

I think Entrecard better get it's act together pronto or they will find that they have no members to drop on anyone or advertise these Paid ads. Just my two cents but then..who listens to a peon like me huh?! Also, I think we all should be able to benefit from running the ads. lord knows i have taken a hit to the cost of advertising on my blogs as I hardly ever get any regular ads anymore! How about you? Seems like i get these paid ads that are not relevant to my page at all! I agree that people who support this network and all it's crazy changes due to 'growing pains', deserve a 'break today!'. One doesn't have to find it just at McDonald's. Perhaps our cards could be worth more. I think we should support each other here by 'Bartering' like if you make ART and jewelry or photography like me then maybe trade with someone who wants this for some Web site help like in my case, I need keywords added to my blog template and also a nice 3 column template to fit all I write! This is something we could do NOW. We don't need 'Entrecard' to do this! We are all already here so let's mix it up and spread the wealth of knowledge and talent here NOW. If not now when? If not today, why wait til tomorow?!

HOPE.what we all need NOW..

Alone, again Naturally

Remember that song? Well, I do an I hated it then and still do! Another tear jerker was 'The DAy the music Died' -Don McLean or better yet 'All By Myself!" don't want to be..all by myself, anymore! (revamped version by Celine Dion, ha!) Anyway..I am alone, partly by choice as I am choosey as to whom I befriend and spend time with.. Of late I am feeling the magnitude of what that means and is and it kind of scares and saddens me. Granted I am not unique in my experience as many other people live alone ansd some prefer or love it! in fact, you can live alone but still enjoy a great social life and have a terrific network of dear friends. Not my case though. I don't call or reach out as I just feel 'in the way' as they have their own family,friends and lives and appear diinterested in me and wanting to know me better or be around me.

Technically, mind you, I am not physically alone as I live with 3 hairy beasts! yes..4 cats and a dog but..when it comes to human beings, there I would say, I would be lacking. I really don't have anyone I could truly say that I could depend on or who would be there for me in a pinch. Yes I have my elderly mom and and an old boyfriend. By that I mean, an "ex", although come to think of it, he is old too!! He lurks in the shadows of my life and visits a couple of times a week, usually to grubs off me both for food and money,as he doesn't use a budget and is perpetually broke,ugh! He will say he will be coming over but will go to sleep instead and not call so..I wouldn't exactly call him a rock of dependability.

I am pre or perimenepausal as they say as just got my 'friend' again after months of not getting it as I thought I was threw with that and I was fine about it. Now I am bleeding alot and depressive due to hormones. Getting better though but perhaps is why I felt sad and introspective all of a sudden.

I have neighbors who saying "hi" is a stretch, let alone asking for anything so for the most part, I don't bother to speak to them. Many people pass by as I live near a park in a farm community upstate in NY but, they stare at me and look in my windows and go on their merry way.

How bout you? Are you alone? lonely? What do you do to cope with your feelings?

Another great article on being alone can be found here on 'Open SAlon', a blog site for writers. Check it out! AND AS ALWAYS,'here's to your health!'

Brain Injury and YOU!

my article post on 'Open Salon', a writer's blog network, on brain injury, 'Brain Injury & You!'was one of the editor's picks, today! I was happy about this recognition of my writing and was glad I could share my own personal experience with brain injury as a survivor to raise awareness.

Perhaps, this small gift today was what I needed as my life has been less than ok lately to be honest here if i may! I guess I could use some good news. Why? Well..I am going through a bit of sleep deprivation lately as two of my 4 cats have been fighting at night, keeping me up. Then my other cat regardless gets me up at 6AM sharp by crying from the next room and if I don't get up, he begins to scratch the furniture like a bratty kid! he knows better guys. I honestly think he does it intentionally. Anyway, I yell both at night and in he morning and in the day these days at these animals and my dog is the 'Peaace Pal' of the house so she gets up barking when she hears the hissing as she has a zero tolerance for b.s. and fighting. I am thinking of leaving them all here and booking a flight to some where. Only one problem, I'm broke! This makes me think of a post for another day on my pet blog'Animals LARGE and small'"What to do when YOUR PETS take over your house!". When i figure it out I'll let you know. Til then I have one of my cats, 'the offender', in the back room for the second time today! He is the new cat who chases my 'shy' but hissy one into another room when she hisses at him and then they fight.

All these different personalities living under one roof is beginning to grate on my nerves. More to share another day. Don't worry guys. i'll be ok. i'm strong. Show me some love. You know what to do! (hint) drop,comment,email,trade links,give me somehing to review,or buy something! thanks!
