On to NEW ADVENTURES

So last saturday buddy was adopted!! And it was my last day working with that rescue. But never fear I have started something new and improved! We all know what a long grooling process it is looking for that perfect pet!! WELL..... My new website is just that. a pet finding service. It will one day be a 501 c 3 non profit when I can afford to register it but for now just a free service. Then I will start a rescue and trust under that 501 the rescue caleed..."Kritter's Kitty Kabin" that will also offer bording and the trust called..."Beau's Fund" for people who cannot afford vet care! I cannot wait!!!

As for the rest of life not much has changed. Still fighting neuropathy! Still waiting for answers! And still being BORED!! Even with all the extra fun I have found in volunteer work!

Till next time!!

Jon to the RESCUE!!!!!

About 2 weeks ago I was watching the 10 o'clock news. A sad sad sad story came on about abandoned animals. A woman here along with a group of real estate agents started a rescue mission 3 months ago called Lost Our Home Pet Foundation. It was started due to the increasing number of animals being found in foreclosed homes that have been left for dead. This group is AMAZING!!! They take animals into "foster" homes and re-train them for a forever home. They also have 2 sub programs: Furry Friends of Foster- A TEMPORARY placement where someone could get there pet back when they get a place!!! And Furry Friends Food Bank- For people who are wanting to drop an animal due to expenses in this economy....They help with food, litter and such! How WONDERFUL right! So I decide to see what it takes to be a foster parent for them and believe it or not...as long as you have a roof and love they are willing to do the rest!! So the next thing i know......I am now the foster coordinator and helping with some PR. I also have fosters here and went on my very own rescue mission.

This is Buddy it took us over 2 hours to lure him into coming with us. he was SO scared! As the story was told to me by the agent he did a "cash for key" where they pay them to leave a foreclosed property. They told him they would be back that night for the dog and the rest of the items the had left on the porch. Then a week later the stuff was gone but the dog was still there. The neighbors had been giving him food and water but he WATCHED his people leave him!! EVIL humans!! Well I better go and play with the zoo I have started lots to do now! YAY something worthwhile and uplifting too! YAY me!!!!

As for mom she is making a great recovery from knee surgery from what I hear! I am not there to know for sure tho!

Withdrawals!!!!!

OK so now I truly know what an addict I REALLY am!!! I have been home for 2 weeks and already I am going through withdrawals!! But seriously can you blame me I need more!!!

Memory Tag

Here's how you play:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you.

It's actually pretty funny to read the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Bored Poetry!!

Dare To Care….

about the girl they call a whore
bruised and broken on her bedroom floor
looking for love the way she knows how
never to take that most solemn vow

about the boy they call a fag
hanging as high as the American flag
removed from this world by a persons hate
standing so young at Heavens gate

The people you stepped on to get where you are
How bad did you hurt them? Will they scar?
Remember the ones who showed you the way
And always look to a brighter day

We are the ones who can change the way
It just takes one second from every day
Remember that things are not what you see
And then your soul can truly be FREE


JN

OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be true!!

So the neurologist thinks we can reverse the neuropathy if we caught it in time!! No I am not yet a Diabetic but my neuropathy is as bad as one! She thinks it is due to my body trying to reject B12! So I will be taking DAILY injections for 3 weeks then down to once a week for 3 months then once a month for 1 year!!! oww!!! Here is what I found about that!

Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when there is an abnormally low level of vitamin B12 absorbed in the body. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be a factor in a variety of different health conditions and disorders. B12 deficiency inhibits of severy decrease the bodies ability to produce blood, increases blood cell destruction, and is very harmful to the nervous system.Characteristic signs of B12 deficiency include fatigue, weakness, nausea, constipation, flatulence (gas), loss of appetite, and weight loss. Symptoms of severe vitamin B12 deficiency (regardless of the cause) may include burning of the tongue, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, intermittent constipation and diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, menstrual symptoms, psychological symptoms, and nervous system problems, such as numbness and tingling in the feet and hands.

Let's hope then maybe no more wheelchair and even better than that!!!

ALOHA O'HANA

Well long time no post!! BUT............ Since we have all the reason to celebrate soon I believe we should! Paris and family comes home just when we USED to have our family get together. The 24th has and will always be one of my favorite holidays. So I suggest that we do the BBQ Firework thing that is one of MY fondest childhood memories. So who's in? I need to know so I know when to have Brian schedule his Vacation time and have enough $ to get there. Gas is ridiculous but well spent mullah if I get to see y'all! So once again who's in and any ideas for where we want to set up or times!! Love and kisses

Sweet Children

Just a quick not to any readers who do not know my new nephew came to bless us on 4/16/08! I can't wait till they are in the states to meet him!! And of course see his big sis and mine too! Heck the whole family needs to meet up somehow!!

Sina's Demand!!

1. Christmas Eve 1 gift
2. Road Trips and our special edition of America pie
3. For a while The Easter tree
4. 24th BBQ and fireworks
5. In childhood the hug and kiss line up when with the fam!

7. Dec 11th dinner CREAMED HAMBURGER YUMM!!! And pineapple upside down cake for dessert!
8. APR 13th some meal with nothing touching each other and a carrot cake for dessert.

The list goes on and on!!!

Your turn PLEASE!! and some different ones too

Tradition!!

So while watching Sat morning general conference I was listening to Sister Lant's talk. She was speaking about family traditions and things passed down to children from generation to generation. And I started to think of all the things our little family of 3 did do and some may say they were not traditions but to us they were. I just wanted some feed back from ALL of my sisters and friends as to what some of the things that were passed on to you and your lives now. Gimme a list I would love to know!

Medical Maladies!!

And the list goes on!! Since the main purpose of this blog is to inform my sisters, around the globe, of my life here we go. So there is still no definite answer to any of the many things that ail me. The only concrete answer we have thus far is Sleep Apnea. The study showed that I stop breathing 35 times every hour while attempting to sleep. Therefore I get to wear a BEAUTIFUL face mask while sleeping to force air down me. The other fact we all know due to the obviousness of it is... I'm FAT! But I have several more appointments with neurologists, sleep specialists, Bariatric doctors, and much much more. But on the upside... Well depends on how you look at things. I am now certifiably disabled. That's right I was approved in record time for Social Security Disability. So either I am DYING or just extremely lucky. I prefer to think lucky. But the down side is for Pete's sake I am ONLY 29!! I don't wanna be at this point this early!! But at least we may get some answers from here! Wish me luck!

House Guests & Bad Parenting Skills

So a few days after my furry one had passed, I was awakened by a couple of LOUD house guests. I do enjoy their company however...They are messy and quite bad at the parenting thing. They just left the poor little guy all alone and paid it no attention. These guests of ours stayed for about a week, ate left a mess and then were off without a trace..... They even left the kid behind! Re sizing the image did not work please click on them to see full pic!









Poor Kid left and all alone!!

12 1/2 years was not enough!!!

Hope it is the best EVER!!!

what was he thinking!

Jon informed me that I now am also an "author" to his blog. I don't have any idea what to write about and I think Brian is even more clueless than me in what to write and send out into cyber space.
I think all of you already know my feelings on cold weather so needless to say I am really loving the temperatures here in AZ. I assure you that feeling will change in the hot months... July-Sep. I however will not have to be here then. I do go back and forth between here and UT. Thanks to my wonderful friends who live in Idaho, I have a reliable car to drive. It's a good thing I love being out on the road, its so therapeutic for me emotionally, but I do pay the price physically for a few days. All in all it is worth it. Once all of Bubba's Dr apps are out of the way, my trips may head in other directions as I have some pretty amazing Grandkids I want to spend some time with! Now for the ok from DB&MB :) and knowing an actual time frame I can be there for.
I have found a few places of interest that I want to visit here. One is Montezuma’s castle.




I put the link below in case anyone would like to see what I am referring to. In later posts I will include some of the photo's I have taken during my drives and also some of the places of interest that we will be going to see.

New authors

Being the inpatient, bi-polar, ornery, whiny little brother that I am I decided to add mom and Brian on my list of authors to contribute to this site. That way there will be a better frequency for all the blogging community. You see being a stay at home sick freak I look at your pages at least 2x everyday. I have created a very odd void between all of us and that is why I started this was to attempt to recreate our family. I know some are married and have kids and have NOTHING in common with me now but hey!! I thought that is what made families so GREAT. Ours may not be through blood but you will forever and ALWAYS be my sisters so I might as well make the most of it. So now comes the task of getting mom and Brian to actually write. Help me out you guys!! Lots of love!

A VERY HAPPY DAY TO YOU

Happy Birthday BALONEY!!!

POINTLESS!!!!

So once again I get to sound like the whiny little brother that I am. I only started this blog thing in hopes of staying in better contact with my sisters! But since I have had FEW and very FAR between replies and no clue as to frequency of page views, I have decided to only post life altering news from now on. If any of you need or desire to contact me you have my address or moms info to get mine so when there is BIG news there will be a new post! But till then Happy blogging to you all!!!





And MUCH love!!!
