DR. PHIL AND KAYLEE

Just wanted to give compliments to Dr. Phil

for trying to get to the bottom of the case with

a 3 year old from Berrien County Michigan who is

allegedly being abused by her father.

 

I saw some of the show and was shocked to see

that this little girl has such a violent reaction when

coming home from his visitation with her. Screaming that

"they touched my pee-pee."  hmmm whether she

is or isnt..I sure hope they get to the bottom of what

is going on. There have been lie-detector tests and

attempted hypnosis of the father and some have been

failed. I hope Dr. Phil is "like a dog with a bone" and

wont give up until he finds out. This poor child should

not have to suffer.  Here is a link to the story…

DR. OZ MAN OR GENIUS

IS HE OR ISNT HE???

 

      I THINK HE IS A GENIUS !!!

 

 

I mean he is a friend of OPRAH and is on her show

at least once or twice a month now. Each time he comes

on you learn so much and he is a great teacher. He sells his

book and his theories that go with them for you to

try or not. While he is on the show..he shows you human

people’s  body parts..they are preserved and clean but

they are parts. He shows you livers and hearts and

lungs and gallstones and this week it was a human

BRAIN! Fascinating stuff. It’s the way in which he

explains things that has me so stuck on watching when he

is on.

 

I wondered if he teaches.. so I googled him…

MEHMET OZ

 

"Dr. Mehmet Oz is perhaps the most accomplished and respected cardiothoracic surgeon in the United States. Born in the US to Turkish parents, he works at Columbia University New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. A graduate of University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, he also holds an MBA from Wharton School of Business at Penn. This remarkable doctor operates on some 400 patients a year, is a Professor of Cardiac Surgery at Columbia University, director of Cardiovascular Institute at Columbia Presbyterian, directs the Heart Assist Device Program and is the founder of the Complimentary Medicine Program. He is married with four children, and is 45 years old."

 

It didnt say that he taught classes. He should. So many young upcoming so called doctors could learn a few things I think.

Today Oprah was priviledged to hold in her hands a human brain. It was in preservative and you know by the look on her

face , the smell of it was pretty bad.  He explained how the brain works and what glands do and what things mean it was

really interesting to the audience and the viewer to hear. I make it a note on the calendar when I hear he is going to

be on the show. I know by the end of it I will have learned so many new things. Make sure you catch him sometime…you probably will leave thinking about some of the things that he covered in the hour that he was on. I know I do!!

That winter storm that everyone else out west got is headed our way here in Michigan. The news talks of

at least 6 inches of snow in some places and ice and snow in others between now and Friday morning.

People were rushing and the stores busy here again today. I put up the Christmas lights out side my front door

and hung my wreaths. It was so much nicer to do it in 64 degree weather than 20 above and snow. Most

people herebouts had the same thought. Wherever you are… I hope you stay warm and well, safe inside

with your family.

 

Have a great day !!!

LEARNING THE DIGITAL WAY…

  YOU WOULD THINK…

 

That anyone who can run a computer would know how

to use a digital camera. They are not as complicated as

all the things that go with a computer ,and all the problems

that can go wrong. I am having a time trying to NOT push

the button all the way down like my old camera, I had for

probably 15 years!! This new way of doing things does take

some getting used to. I agree… I like the idea of deleting the

picture if I don’t like it and starting over. I like the idea of

seeing the picture immediately.  I owned several polaroid

cameras back in the day..I used to get so excited that we could

see what we took so fast. I like the idea that I dont realllly

have to take the pictures in to be developed right away because

there are so many on a card. To take a video with such a small

camera blows me away. It just doesn’t seem possible..but it

is! Picture and sound from this small thing…who would have thought

it???? Progress is amazing. I know there are smaller cameras than

this one and that too amazes me.

 

I am still getting used to the smallness of the camera.It fits 

in the palm of my hand or in my pocket. AMAZING!!  Mine

was large and heavy and could take it if it was dropped, and

did so many many times. It was dropped off the top of a

horse I was sitting on, to the cement driveway and still worked.

It was waterproof, and boy was I glad..so many times I really

was taking pictures in conditions I should not have been.This one works

better with warm batteries..warm is what the book said..keep the

extra batteries warm when in cold weather. HUH..well thank GOD I

have extra pockets in my coat. So many things you have to be

careful of. It blows my mind.

My old camera had a 10X zoom, this one has 3. I am still learning

this digital stuff and so I think it is

good that I start slow and work the kinks out of my shock at having

a camera at all. It has been a long time since I was able to let loose

and shoot to my hearts content.

 

When the snow comes, and IT IS coming….I will attempt to place

my first picture on here from my very own camera. BOY what a 

banner day that will be.IS IT enough though to make me go LIVE

WRITER…..uh…. we will see. LOL

 

Now I ask you ..why don’t they have some kind of a case for the

camera when they sell you one includedi n the box? I hate having

mine exposed to anything and will be looking for a case as soon as

I get to the big city stores. No way I could just put it in my purse with

all my junk and carry it around!!  I guess I have learned the value of

a camera after not having one for so long. Big City Stores..here I come!!

 

 

GO OUT AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!  

 

THE WEDNESDAY SPACE WALK THIS WEEK CAN BE FOUND AT THE

SPACEWALK SPACE.   

DIGITAL JOY

       I DID IT!!      

 

I jumped into the 21st century with the rest of the people

in the world and got me some digital joy today. It was not

a real expensive purchase..but I figure if I am learning still

I should have something easy to learn on and progress from

there. Heck… if I can learn about all the stuff that goes wrong with

my computer..I guess I can learn about cameras too. I still miss my

old camera. I really do. It took great pictures and never failed me

to the end. It was so old the parts could not be found anymore.

The company apologized for my inconvenience. So I have been

cameraless for 2 years now..TWO years with those throw away

substitutes that never work right for me. There is no zoom and no

flash that I can get to work worth beans!!

 

When I went with my niece to look for a wedding gown I never

in a million years thought that she would find one right away. I

thought I HAD TIME!!  Nope …she goes and finds one right away!!

So I use that crazy portable one with the flash I can’t work and

try to take her picture. THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW!!!

I waited for the sales and checked around for an inexpensive camera

to start out my digital journey. 

 

The KODAK EZ SHARE C533    was on sale and so I plunged!! I am still reading

the manual and checking out the buttons and learning the ins and outs.

The person who sold it to me was young and never ask if I had any

questions or if I wanted to try one out..NOTHING..you know it wasn’t

BEST BUY dont you!!! LOL  I won’t say where I got it..but they only had

two in the store on the first day of the sale.(hmmmm feel sorry for all

the other people who want one..rainchecks are a pain!!! )When I learn

how to get the pictures into my computer..OH BOY..then I will be

having fun!!! With guidance and advice from Cheryl and Hope how

can I go wrong??? I can only dream to get that good!!!!! 

 

I had trouble getting to my space tonight..I guess maybe the whole

internet is buzzin’ with people buying on-line..they are not going to wait

for "Black MONDAY"..OH WAIT..it is black monday since it is 1 AM!!

 

I am going to bed…maybe I will dream of cameras all night long

and taking George Clooneys’ picture!!!    LOL

Now that would be cool!!!  

 

HAVE A GREAT MONDAY!!!

 

A TENSE THANKSGIVING!!

WOW WHAT A DAY!!

 

Our little Thanksgiving was certainly a very strained one. The fiancee

showed up with my niece and started asking how much we

would be contributing to the wedding. HUH??  Could we bring food to the

reception for at least 150-200 people. I was in shock!  I mean

My mother practically raised her, and she is one of her two

grandchildren and she would like to help out..but furnish food

for that many is a little severe. I dont know where he got the

idea that "WE" were supposed to help them out. We could

maybe bring one big entree, but not all.  He looked pretty

disappointed. They chose the biggest most expensive place

around for a reception. $3,000. to rent the place. I was in shock.

It was his parents idea. hmmmmmm They put a deposit on it to hold

the date and didnt even clear it or even ask my sister about it. I

think she should have been consulted about it for sure. They

know a whole lot of people in their little town and I think that

half the people invited on their side will be people THEY know, not

their son. This could get very UGLY…   

 

I looked at my niece and she kept a very straight face over

the whole thing. She knew what was coming I guess. I told him that

we were on very limited income and could not afford to cater his

reception. Is it our responsibility??? Hmmm..AT what age does it

become no longer the responsibility of the parents to PAY for the

wedding? They are both in their late 20′s. First marriage for

both. My sister was at work, so I was kinda glad… I am afraid she

would have flipped out. He kept saying he was SHOCKED that

her mom paid for the wedding dress and did not believe her that she

had already gotten one. She showed him the bag with the dress

in it. The whole thing was very strained and I myself kinda like the guy,

but this time I could not wait for them to leave. My mother was upset over

the fact that she would like to help them out but just couldn’t do it.

SHOULD HE HAVE ASKED???   In my opinion..NO..he should not have

even asked us.I am so confused!!  WHAT"S YOUR OPINION??

AM I wrong in this??? We are relatives…not her parents. Her father

is deceased and her mom on a mid-size income, not the kind that could

afford a big fancy wedding. They know that!!

 

After they left..My girlfriend called and told me that her father.

like a second father to me…has had emergency surgery that

morning and will be hospitalized for at least 5 days. He has had at least 3 in the

past few months..how much more can he take??.

I was sure glad when the day was over..I laid down with a headache and

thought ….tomorrow is another day..it has to be better..it just has to.

 

Hope your Thanksgiving was calmer than mine was for sure.. and your weekend

is too!! Thanks for letting me vent!!
