Update....

Okay, so, I totally suck at daily posting..then again, there isn't much to tell,sometimes on a daily basis...

Yesterday, I went to my Doctor's appointment..and well, it was good and bad...good, in so far as I've got scripts yet to be filled to take care of a pesky little problem I've had jumping the past couple days...( Infection..and it HURTS like hell, by the way!) -the downside is that my doctor increased my Insulin...( Yes, I'm Type 2 Diabetic, and also take insulin in addition to oral meds to help control my Diabetes...SO, that means I take 10 mg of Glipizide and 2000 mg of Metformin every day, along with now, 15 units of Insulin...Lantus...)

For those of you that don't know much about insulin, Lantus is a basal, slow acting Insulin, meaning that it takes a longer time to be active and effective in my system. ( I THINK the website said 4 hours is the average time..) Okay, then the next thing to consider about it is that it's "Peakless", and is the ONLY insulin approved by the good ol FDA to be taken once a day, every 24 hours...- So basically it helps support and add to what the oral meds are doing to help keep my blood glucose levels down to a safer, far more preferred level. - I'll just say this about it, It's no where near as bad as I thought having to give myself injections and all that...- In fact it's A LOT easier than the other,newer method which my medical card doesn't cover...So, I'm more than okay with it...( My point is why make it more difficult and more expensive than it needs to be...for example for the pen device and insulin cartridges that go with it, it's over $150 a month doing it that way...with the way I'm doing it, it's like $85 for the Insulin,plus the $16 for the syringes- and that box of syringes lasts me three months!- So, basically $90 a month to keep me in insulin...) Then Dr. Perry doubled my Lexapro dosage...and boy is THAT a doozy...I fall asleep A LOT quicker than I did taking just the 10 mg- when it WAS working, that is...

There really hasn't been anything interesting in the local news lately...other than the really obnoxious carrying on and whining from those that are against Sedgwick County, and Wichita getting a casino..- Frankly, I'm for it..given just HOW bad the economic situation is here, and the fact that Jobs are crtitically needed...- I'll be honest,though, I was really concerned that the city or county were going to put the Casino in the down town area....- due to the concerns over crime, gang activity and maybe the mafia muscling in on my home town! - It's bad enough, that already there have been seventeen homicides SO far here,alone! But, on the other hand, I kinda sorta like the idea of them toying with putting the casino out at the Colliseum...( Which is way out north of town, and virtually out in the boonies...)- While I'm against the new arena they are in the process of trying to get built down town, maybe with the casino being where the colliseum is, might be a good thing, after all...- But, hey, I'm all for the possibility of my hometown having more employment opportunities than there is...given how many people are applying for assistance through social services and the like...something had to give! (I just hope that it has SOME ecomonic impact, with minimal problems with crime and the like...)

Tell you this,though, I'm equally as disgusted, irked and incensed with city and county government...okay, maybe Dad was right- there wasn't anyone to vote for in the last election...Sometimes Dad DOES have a good point every now and then....But,then again, so do I!- okay, While I'm decidedly Pro- Life for the most part...sometimes there is a MEDICAL reason that Abortion is available...Just as there's a VERY good reason there are medical services for young women and girls if they need it...however, Phil Kline's male chauvanistic, tyrannical, misogyny is doing far MORE damage than good, and it's VERY hypocritical! - To lower the boom on girls and young women to induce extreme fear of getting medical help if they need it for Gynecology reasons..what ever they may be is only placing them in harms way- if they attempt TO get the help they need, they COULD be arrested for having sex while a minor....yet, Kline didn't see fit to place anything into law that would place males in the same situation...- The good old, evil double standard and hypocrisy of Misogyny, and male Chauvanistic stupidity! - Oh, then all this mess about how he's attacking Dr. Tiller, the baby murdering sack of feces...okay,fine- in a sense it's a GOOD thing...after all the man IS butchering innocent babies, and destroying women's lives with his murderous ways and practices! (And, making a financial killing while he's at it,too, apparently..) - Personally, I think it's irreprehensible that he's doing late term abortions, let alone any abortion at all...- but, that's me personally...However,on the other hand, I don't think it's right that there are women selfish enough to murder their own flesh and blood because that baby would be an inconvenience to them...or they're using abortion as a means of birth control...THOSE are the kind that I wish to all that's holy and sacred COULD be arrested and tried for first degree murder of their own children! (And, any children they have after they murder the first one SHOULD be taken away from them, as they are a danger to themselves AND the children in question... TOTALLY unfit TO be a parent if they can kill their own child while still in the womb!) But, then again, this is a corrupt, sick society that allows such savagery to take place, and then justifies and excuses the lies told TO make abortion 'okay' and 'acceptable'....- My point is that if those children were allowed to be carried to term and put up for adoption, then maybe we wouldn't have such a shortage of adoptable babies in this country...- But, Kline totally makes my blood boil with his stupidity...Personally, I'm SO glad that he got his butt booted out of the State's Attorney General's office....(Then again, the only really GOOD thing he DID get accomplished while in office was helping to take down BTK..- but, that's just MY opinion!) - But, on the other hand, so far, I'm REALLY impressed with the new Attorney General we've got..Mr. Morrison...I don't think I've EVER seen an Attorney General in the state of Kansas actually prosecute a case while in office- like he's doing with the Jody Sanderholm case...- So, that,in and of itself is totally cool! ( From what I've seen in the local news when they covered Thurber's last appearance- to determin probable cause to hold him over for trial, Mr. Morrison totally played hard ball, and played to win...) While I may be just a High School Graduate, it seems to me that IF The State's Attorney General prosecutes a murder case not long after he gets into office says something about how bad the crime was FOR him to come down from Topeka and take on the case, helping the district attorney in the jurisdiction where it happened!!!! - It also tells me that it's a very real possibility that Thurber may well be running scared- but, I doubt it...he looked awfully cocky and arrogant to me..and those tears? Ha! crocodile tears...IF he IS sorry, he's only sorry he got caught...- and, I can't imagine how it feels for the Sanderholms to know that THE state's attorney is helping nail the foul sack of excrement that did what he did to their daughter,either... I just can't help but hurt for that family after what they're suffering through...I can't imagine what THAT has to feel like...and I really can't blame them for walking out of court,either...it has to be positively hellish to be in the same room with the foul monster that snuffed out that girl's life....- I just hope that they go for and get the death penalty for Thurber...Other than BTK and the Carr's,I can't think of anyone else that deserves it more...well, except for Scott Peterson....but, that's California, NOT Kansas!!!

Daily Check In...

There's really not anything new to report or blab about, in terms of being interesting in the blog world...It was just another one of those days where I felt totally wretched...and the damn Lexapro isn't working worth a tinker's damn....For the past couple weeks, I haven't been sleeping well..in fact, I've been battling with light headed ness, and getting dizzy when I stand up..Let's just say that if I don't have something to grab onto, Chances are I'm going to fall on my rear and..ugh...Not too sure which is worse- Not being able to sleep, the moody, cranky aspect of my nature making me hell on wheels to deal with isn't helping...then you throw in the fact that for the most part,I just want to be left alone...and the rest of it- how it was BEFORE Lexapro initially started lining my butt out and leveling out my mood swings and working wonders against the clinical depression thing I've got going...The really bad part of it is when I CAN sleep...I have these really bad nightmares...horrific ones...that scare the living hell out of me! I'd say probably in the past week, I've woken myself up screaming bloody murder about someone hurting Dad, fighting,cussing and kicking in my sleep trying to fight these people off Dad...( I don't know WHO these people are...but, in my nightmares, they're hurting my Dad...and it just sets me off!) - I guess I'm going to have to talk to Dr.Perry about it, I guess...Something has to give...( And, that doesn't include the fact that even WITH the Lantus Dr.Perry added a couple months ago, my blood sugar levels bounce around between 120 to 300 or so...- All I know is that I feel nearly as wretched as I did prior to being diagnosed with Diabetes in January of 2004...)

Then there's the entire political thing that gets my dander up....I was SO disgusted and nauseated over the big deal our local media has been oogling over due to President Bush coming to town last Friday! Ugh! I mean really, how can they think that's SUCH a good thing....when that foul, inept, crooked sack of feces has done SO much damage to our nation, and his bullshit is WHY there are SO many people applying for assistance through the social services agencies...- Then the entire war thing...Don't get me wrong, I have every bit of respect and reverence for those that sacrifice their lives to serve our nation in the military...I respect and commend them! However, I STILL see red over the fact that Bush and Co. has sent our armed forces into Iraq..okay fine, Maybe Saddam needed to be taken down, and cut down to size....BUT- the thing is why couldn't THAT have been completed and taken care of the FIRST time we were over in Iraq in 91? - And,just where on God's Green Earth are all the WMD's they were screaming about when Bush decided we were going to do a pre-emptive strike on Iraq? I don't know about you- I haven't seen hide nor hair of ANY WMD's!! But, on the other hand, we had and have EVERY darn right to have gone to war with the Taliban and Afghanistan....speaking of which, when is someone going to get off their dead ass and go nail Bin Laden to a tree by the balls with rusty nails, for God's sake??

Okay, now for the Anna Nicole Smith thing....I don't know IF there's any evidence that 's going to be weighty or significant enough TO place the blame or legal culpability upon that Stern guy or not..Frankly, I'm waiting to see what is revealed in the inquest into Daniel Smith's death in the Bahamas...Until then, I'm not pointing my finger at the guy....

But, all the same, it's sad and a sorry turn of events that Daniel Smith died just three days after his little sister, Dannielynn was born... While I was never particularly a fan of Anna Nicole's...I DID feel sorry for her, due to the untimely loss of her twenty year old son...(That's way TOO young to die!) When it came out that she had died, I was shocked...and initially, I was swept away with all the hysterics and histronics...pointing fingers and the like... But, quite honestly, I NEVER was too impressed with Vergie Arthur... I'm sorry,but, NO Decent,loving mother would get on national TV with the express reasons of showing her ass, castigating,belitting, and condemning her own daughter the way she did....- and, frankly, I can't blame Anna for her venom filled confrontation shown on ET...Virgie had THAT coming- big time!

(Then to turn around and make money off wallering around on that boy's grave, wallering like a mama sow in her pig pin...ugh....It was enough to turn MY stomach! Tell you this, though! When my cousin Brad died, his grandparents, my aunt Mattie, and Uncle Junior didn't do anything like that! At least they had enough class and dignity NOT to behave in such a trashy manner, THEN have the unmitigated gall to make money off of it?! It's nauseating!!)

Then you add in the lie packed testimony that woman gave in that court room in Florida...- Hell, that woman didn't even have the consideration or even care that the object of the hearing was to get Anna buried ASAP... ALL that fat bitch cared about was getting her way....and stopping at nothing until she got it! Well, I guess HKS, Birkhead, and that Guardian Ad Litem guy showed her! (Then again, so did the Judges in the Bahamas!!)

Oh, then the entire custody thing! I STILL don't get or see where Virgie thought that if she could keep that baby in the Bahamas would insure she would get custody, hence her hands on any money or assets that baby MAY inherit from her Mother's estate...it sure seemed to me that Virgie didn't want that baby- didn't give a damn about that beautiful child- the bitch just wanted the money!

Naturally, I was happy that Larry Birkhead was found due to DNA to be that cute little one's Daddy...and, it looks to me that he's got his heart out after what's best for little Dannielynn... And, on the other hand, it sure looks like little tiny is wild for her Daddy, too! (I swear, each time she shows up in the media, she just keeps on getting cuter and cuter....Larry MUST be doing something right, I Think!) I hate to say something as harsh as this, but, when it came out in the media that the Judges in the Bahamas weren't any too impressed with Virgie's obstructing the process of the case, and making her rather inane demands to the extent that they fined her $3000!!! I thought it was utterly comical how they handed her ass back to her on a plastic, salvation army red shield reject platter!!!

(Frankly I think she also should've been slapped with damages, too- being forced to pay for Larry's having to stay in the bahamas longer, adding more onto his legal bills TO fight for his child...- Then again, I also think it would be utterly fair if there was a ruling in place that completely shut down her bid, and attempts at trying to gain control, OR custody of Dannielynn...- Just look at how the disasterous effect that woman had on her daughter...and in turn her Grandson? I know I'm not that little girl's parent or anything, and my opinion doesn't matter...but, still, it's quite obvious that Virgie doesn't have good intent where that baby girl is concerned!)

Anyway, I'm waiting to hear what the latest in the court room battles in that bring out next...LOL...until then, I think I'll just go and crochet!!

Inaugural Post...

This is the new blog, to replace my old blog...Anyway, I can't promise I'll stick to any one subject matter...after all, life doesn't revolve around just one subject matter or person...there's SO many diverse opinions, and SO many things that keep people interested to stave of boredom..at least I find that to be true...

In some ways, you'll find me to be a stick in the mud, and very traditional and conservative..

In others I'm SO liberal- that to some, I may be percieved as off the wall, insane, or even- God- I HATE this one- a freakin' commie or Socialist...

Then again there are other views and opinions I hold that are down right offensive, and frankly, I Don't care WHO I offend when it comes to those...

Anyway, drop in whenever you feel like it..and be suprised...it's probably going to be a wild,bumpy ride....
