I don't feel well today...so a perfect time to vent...
ONE...I can fully understand the frustration some people have about the speed, or lack there of ...concerning the internet...we have three computers and one PS3 running off of our internet connection, and the internet connection that we use is softcom...do NOT get softcom!! they are not relieable...and very unhelpful in getting the problems fixed!! We are always having our connection going out...and if you don't think having a MALE in the middle of a hot and heavy battle on the internet "go out" just as he is about to attack...try a FEMALE not able to even get on ...and ending up with five ports open to the internet...because she can't get a clear entry!! I understand some people developing the ablility to have human to computer interface surgically inplanted into peoples brains! I see multiple implications and complications...1982 being one of them...but the emotional frustration of not having instantanious response is parimont...maybe it is the immature part of us that wants what we want, when we want it....and todays society caters to that ...smoozes our egos into convincing us that we HAVE to have it all NOW!!!!
TWO...which brings me to the BLUE TOOTH!!! CA. law mandates that we have a hands free device to talk on the cell phone in the car. $20 for the first offence ...$50 for the second....haven't heard whatyou get for the tenth offence. So now we have THE BORG walking all over the place talking to the MOTHER SHIP...on the street...in the market...and of course in the cars...now you truely cannot tell the difference between the insane and the marginally insaine...as they all talk to themselves!
I have done some internet research...granted it isn't deeply scientific...but the information I DID uncover makes me shudder! The Blue Tooth, which sits attached to your head...all day...or for hours minimally...right next to your head. Now whatever happened to the concerns about the radiation of cell phones to the human body? Has anyone given this some thought? The BLUE TOOTH emits electromagnetic radiation ...not good for humans...not just when it is "ON" but periodically...to "look" for the cell phone signal...when it is off. There is some consideration about Extra Low Frequencies (ELF)...but we won't touch on that here...but what about the simple low quanities of this radiation...granted it isn't like GAMMA rays...and won't turn you into the HULK...but still...radiation is accumlitive!!
THINK about it people! I feel like the robot on Lost in Space....DANGER!....DANGER!
I am apalled to see old people with white hair...with these "inplants" stuck in their heads...all the way down to the teen! Which brings be around to my first frustration...instaneous response and satisfaction....the message that we are entitled and if we don't have what we want when, we want it ....NOW...then we are somehow missing out, or are second class citizens....It is the replay of The Maddness of Crowds...and the sceem of the Tulip wars!!

Thirty-third Anniversery
Today is the 12th of April. Thirty-three years ago Mike and I were married!
Alot happens over 33 years...
11 children...four married...four grandchildren(one in the oven)...one son in Iraq (army)....two graduations from higher education, two more attending MJC....home schooled career (for Mom), with five graduated from our school (more this year)....Mike developed RP (losing most of his sight)...Mike started his own tax and accounting business in 1996, very successful business....alot of water under the bridge!! It appears that the "river" is still flowing...:)
This tax season Mike had a little visit to the Hospital over Easter weekend...Infected Pancreas...also with symptoms of Shingles....so between the IV's for a few days(in the hospital) and the "herbalist"shoving things down his throat( low fat diet, and anti-virals)...Mike is recovered and back to work!! :)
The 15th is only a few days away, and we can catch our breath, before the next wave of the "river"....:)

Spring Tune Up
OK, So my daughter -in-Law, Keli, is posting her diet every day for accountablity...which planted in my mind that I need to get in shape!! I , however,am NOT going to post my diet...but I am going to keep a private journal...so far, I realised that I eat bites here and there, that add up! Yesterday, I Made a yummy croissant sandwich with ham and horseradissh cheese...then I cut it in half...gave half to Shesccah (my other daughter-in-law)...and ate the other half. I had heard somewhere that if you take what you normally eat...and then half it..that is all you need , and you will loose weight. Hey...why not give it a try? :) Today I had a Chinese lunch...Kung pow chicken with chicken fried rice....I picked out most of the chicken and ate the veggies and half of the rice. Next time I'm ordering something without so much meat, and white rice...I don't think I like fried rice...to oily I think or something.
Yesterday, the six "boys" and I went for a long hike...must have been 5+ miles!! I was so worn out..I think I should have brought water...:) Next time!... Today I am walking somewhat normal...but I am sore!! It was a beautiful day...a little cool...yet warm enough not to be cold. Sunny...mostly blue skies (only a few Chemtrails)...listened to the birds...and watched the kids have fun. You Know...young kids remind me of Puppy dogs...you are walking along...and the young kids are running circles around you...just like little puppies! Makes an adult feel old...:) hahaha! Tomorrow the youngest of the six, and I are going to go hike, while the older six go to a Birthday "thingy" in the same park...but only for an hour...Jacob has school work...so that is a good reason not to over do it...:) I'll bring water this time...:)
So...How's Your tune-up coming along?

This is the hobbit capes that I made for the boys for Christmas...actually, I gave them the material, and made the capes after Christmas...when I wasn't so pressured.
Aaron is on the right back....Mark is on the left back....Levi is in the center front.....Levi is totally in character, being barefoot....:)
