This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
Sometimes work gets so frustrating, you just have to escape. I used to fret and worry, which just made it worse. Now I embrace the absurd. What do you do when work or life gets to you?
Bonachichi~ LOVE this one~ There are people who work here that drive everyone NUTS!!!! Just now...I was embracing the absurd...his name is Brent!!! He sits across from me and stands up to tell everyone about each and ever call or e-mail.....instead of letting him bother me...i just make fun of him to his face and make him laugh~ way better than letting him get to me~
I have been having to hard a time lately trying to adjust to everything going on in our home and my health issues. It is causing much grief and stress and Mr. Lynn D and I are not getting along at all.
To top it off I will be spending as much time as I can with my friend Angel. Her Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last week that has spread to his liver and bladder.
Last night after a very bad evening at home Angel called because she had taken her mother to the emergency room for a cough that would not go away. Her Mom had put off seeing a doctor or going to the emergency room because she has no insurance and is to young for medicare. Her Dad had insurance through his job but they could not afford to add her mother to the policy.
Angel called me from the hospital sobbing because her Mom is now diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and it is also in her pancreas. Her Mother has known about her stomach problems and has been in intense pain but had not said a word to anyone because of her lack of medical. She has been suffering for a long time.
Angel was sobbing uncontrollably when she called me because they waited forever in the emergency room and watched as the nursing staff treated her Mother like a loser because she has no medical. Like she was just some drug addict trying to get drugs. Then when they got the chest xray back it was a whole nother story. Way nice to the point where her Mom turned to her and said I am toast. They are being way to nice.
They have kept her at the hopital and are already giving her extremely strong pain killers at this point I am doubting she will go home. But who knows they may send her home to die to free up the bed. By the way this is a Catholic hospital. Charity thoughts and actions are only ok if you have insurance or are dying evidently.
I am seriously pissed about all of this because Angel's Mom has had a bad back for years from working in nursing homes and the woman should have been declared legally blind years ago but not one fucking doctor would sign off so she could get disability. This country is so fucking ridiculous. And the asshole who think that any type of government run health care is not worthy of the American people are fucking assholes too!
Death panels? well tell that to the people who can't get help or treatment or are treated worse that the fucking prison inmate in this country because they can't afford basic medical.
The sorry ass people who keep this in place are murders in my book and if you keep voting for this nonsense you are helping murder along.
There I said it. I have felt out of place here for a long time and feel like there is much going on behind the scenes because I have started to say how I feel. So if you want to delete me on FB fine. I am so tired of playing nice and feeling like I am unpatriotic or UnAmerican for stating the obvious around us. I know what a fucking drag huh.
Well it is more of a fucking drag to watch my best friend go through this torturous nightmare right now. Yay America rah rah rah.
LYNN...I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to say to you, so I hope this all comes out right.
I am so sorry you are hurting so badly. My heart breaks when someone I love hurts so deeply.
I don't know Angel, but I can't imagine the pain she is feeling. The one thing I do know about her is she is LUCKY to have YOU as her friend.
I don't think you are UN-American or UN-Patriotic...just the opposite. I think you are more patriotic because you want to see better things for this country and the people. You have seen first hand how the political game playing makes nobody a winner...not the Republicans or the Democrats...but makes a lot of losers out of the people already down and out.
I can certainly understand needing a break. If you do choose to take one it is because YOU need it...not because of US.
I don't think I stand alone when I say that you will be missed. You have always shown such grace, compassion, passion and just when it is needed...humor!
I am honored that I have had the opportunity to know and meet you. You and your family will be remain in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you can find peace and comfort...afterall you have been giving to others for so long.
LynnD I do believe you are going through almost every stresser there is right now. That includes not smoking and you are like Superwoman to be doing so well with that.
I am so very sorry to hear about Angel's parents. My heart and prayers go out to her, her family, and to you.
You are a wonderful addition to our little nest and I will miss you badly. I hope you will come back soon, even if it's just so you can vent your frustrations. We will be here to lend an ear and offer emotional support. That's what friends do. (((HUGS)))
Tina Good moanin'. You are beautiful and dreamy once again. The next time that co-worker stands up to share his call with everyone, maybe someone next to him could slip a whoopie cushion onto his chair seat. Ha!
As for dealing with frustration, smoking used to work for me, but since I don't do that anymore, I find that humor works well or just going out for some fresh air. I guess that's another way of counting to 10.
There seems to be a misunderstanding regarding my zorch....
sexy sets it on fire....ok....
J/L...on the right...on the right...!!
Lynn...your news today is sickening...and you are absolutely right.... I can't imagine what your life is like right now...but honey take time for yourself during all this turmoil. Its essential.. You can't be as effective if you are stressed completely out...and its bad for your health....
If this blog is a source of stress for you then this is an easy one to drop....
But I wish you could just stick your head in once a day or so and say how you are....but you must do what is best for you....
I love the way you articulate your insight into the mess that is the USA these days. Someone has to tell it like it is.....
Many Americans think that if they personally aren't affected by what happens in Washington...that they can ignore it...but whatever happens to one in this nation...rich or poor....affects us all....and until people realize that we need people like you...and yes...like me...raising their voices in truth rather than bullshit....
You will be in my thoughts and I have your email address so take a break if you need it...
Just be sure and take care of yourself as well as you do everyone else.....
LYNN - I'm so sorry to hear of all the turmoil you are going thru right now. And my thoughts and prayers go out to Angel and her parents. I do know that she is lucky to have YOU for a friend. As we all are!!! But honey please take care of YOU!!! I will certainly miss your ever patient, thoughtful voice of reason that I so relate to. Do what you need to do, but realize that I for one will miss you. You are always welcome here....ALWAYS!!! You have my numbers and don't be afraid to use them. ANYTIME!! I will always cherish you and our friendship ♥
LYNN: I am so sorry to hear about Angel's parents. I will be praying for them and for Angel and the rest of her family. Having had long talks with you on the subject of health care, the economy and many other things..I know how much you care about this country and it's people, and I know how much some of the things that have been happening lately have been wearing on you. Please take whatever time you need for yourself and for those at home...but please try to drop a note here and there to let us all know how you're doing. You are a wonderful, kind and caring person..and as much as you love and care about those around you..we love and care about you.
Well Jodi, we are finally getting your frickin snow!! We are getting rain right now, which is not good before the snow! Time to hunker down!
I was gone all day volunteering at our VFW for my friend who has throat cancer. We had a great turn out.
I opened my mail when I got home. One was from the Hospital telling me my 2nd mammogram came back normal. Thanks to all who prayed or sent good thoughts my way. I can always count on you.
LynnD, I hope you know we will always be here for you.I can fully understand why you feel the need to take a break from here. I am never offended by anything you say here. I know you are kind hearted and feel strongly about many things, as many of us do. Take care of yourself. You mean a lot to us! Don't stay away too long :(
Lynn, Sending you and Angel some Prayers, Love and Hugs ♥♥ So sorry for what is happening with both of your families. I love ya! ~~~ I'm not up to date on everyone but, heard you were wondering where I was...Thank you for that!(Shirley) I'm not too far away...I'm just having trouble with finding any word's. Hell, it's taken me over 20 min. to get this post done. No! Actually I started last night! How's that for SLOW typing, Zona. ;o) xoxox
I am so sorry for what you are going thru.. I understand your feelings, and give you much credit for being the strong person you are.. I know many without insurance as well, and yes it totally sucks.. hopefully she could get charity care thru the hospital, as that is what my cousin gets.. and even my nephew, when it got sick he did not have good insurance but charity care took care of it all.. Its alot of paper work, but it would be worth filling out...
You will be in my thoughts.. and I too will miss you..
and no way in hell am I deleting you.. well.. maybe if don't send me gifts for fv.. :O)

Of course people at work have never bothered me....

OMG LynnieD!! Bravo! I am so sorry to know of your personal trials. Maybe you can drop in when you need some support or just want to be silly.
Next time Mr. LynnD angers you, make his bed with a layer of newspaper under the sheets. It'll drive him nuts.
LYNN...I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to say to you, so I hope this all comes out right.
I am so sorry you are hurting so badly. My heart breaks when someone I love hurts so deeply.

Quick! Somebody extinguish DeeDee's zorch!
To heck with the extinguisher, I say bring out the graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows and make some s'mores!
LynnD I do believe you are going through almost every stresser there is right now. That includes not smoking and you are like Superwoman to be doing so well with that.
I am so very sorry to hear about Angel's parents. My heart and prayers go out to her, her family, and to you.

DeeDee I would think all you'd have to do is give them the "stink eye". Of course, in your case, I'm not sure which one that is.
Tina Good moanin'. You are beautiful and dreamy once again. The next time that co-worker stands up to share his call with everyone, maybe someone next to him could slip a whoopie cushion onto his chair seat. Ha!
