Taking A Break – Open Discussion

Jul 1

Posted by

Caterpillars, moths, butterflies, and all creatures great and small,

First, I want to apologize for my absence on the blog. Yesterday, my doctor sent me for labs and this morning, I received a call of the results. After taking certain medication, I have to return in 2 weeks for more labs and a CT scan.  The pharmacy had to order one prescription that won’t be in until Friday. That will make it 5 prescriptions, and I don’t like taking medicine (prefer herbs and supplements), so it’s going to require discipline and looking at the clock to take all those pills at the appropriate times.

I’m also having some computer problems. My tech says it’s not worth investing in my laptop computer because the last time that the fan went out, it left many things inside “brittle”. About 99 percent of what I do for the blog is on my laptop. My desktop is an oldie and cannot be brought up-to-date because Microsoft no longer supports it. I cannot afford a new computer right now, so have to limit how much I use my laptop and hope that it doesn’t die on me too soon.

With all of the disappointments however, not feeling well enough to write original articles is the most disappointing. This is where I need your input. Would you like for me to reblog from other blogs, or would you prefer to leave this open discussion as the most recent post for the next week or so? Please let me know.

A message to Butterflydreamer2; I emailed you and there are others also concerned about you. We have not heard from you in weeks. Please let us know how you are doing.

Here’s one of my favorite songs performed by one of my favorite groups from the 60’s.  They were before their time and I’m so happy that they have recently recorded again.

    Get better soon, Xena! And hope your laptop will cooperate with you. I have a similar issue with mine – it’s been in use most days, on average, about 12 or even more hours a day, 7 days a week (with a few breaks here and there) since it was new six years ago – we’re hanging in together by a thread and a prayer! ❤

    Xena, hope you feel better soon. I, too, have to take a boatload of meds and have had to accept the fact that I’ll be taking them for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, having had both a heart attack and a hemorrhagic stroke, the alternative is NOT attractive!

    On a different note, I had to replace my computer a couple of months ago I got this one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J8QD5ZY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage. The price has gone up a bit since I got mine, but they also list other sellers who don’t participate in Amazon Prime. So far, I’m very happy with. Have never had THAT MUCH hard drive space before!

        Happy Fourth of July to you too.

        As an aside, when my divorce was finalized 21 years ago, I drove home from the courthouse, tears running down my face, and Martina McBride was belting out Independence Day on the radio. Oh, the irony!

    Xena, the computer I had before this new one was an $87 ebay special, Dell, Windows 7 Home Premium. It was slower than dial-up and had Apache Open Office instead of Microsoft Word, but it was an emergency purchase after my old computer died. Had to run my Malwarebytes disk through it several times to clean off all of the crap. But it worked well for email and web browsing and it sufficed until Amazon had a “Daily Deal” on the one I have now, with no sales tax and free shipping. I was going to put it away in case of an emergency, but cleaned it up and donated it to Goodwill instead. I know that not everyone can afford a new computer.

    Here is a map showing the Black churches that have burned. Notice the area most of them are concentrated in and take a look at the dates of the fires.

    In my mind there is no doubt that these (with maybe, just maybe, one exception) are hate crimes against the Black community that followed the heinous killing of Mother Emanuel’s nine beautiful leaders by the racist murderer Roof. Who mentored Roof to commit his vile act? Were others mentored by the same person or group to attack these churches?

    Why aren’t investigative reporters pushing LE for more frequent updates on their investigations?

      The one in Florida was caused by a tree limb the broke and severed electrical lines which in turn started the fire…..no arson. In a weird twist the sign had the message “Call 911, this Church is on fire!” They promoted a revival at the Church and left the message up.

    Now, Nascar has done more than ban official official use of the confederate flag at its events. Now its track facilities that run the races are asking fans to refrain from displaying the confederate flag at races.

    “The statement was signed by International Speedway Corp. and Speedway Motorsports Inc. – which own most of the tracks in the Sprint Cup Series, stretching from Florida to New York to California – as well as 30 specific tracks. It also includes independent tracks such as Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, Pocono Raceway and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.”

      It’s just ironic that it happened NOW! Like Gibbs on NCIS always says, “I don’t believe in coincidences.” But, I’ll be damned if this isn’t one heck of a coincidence! Years ago, I lived in a house on a hill by an overpass. One night I was standing at the living room window when an electrical transformer exploded right in front of me, throwing half the county into total darkness. I would not have believed it if I hadn’t seen it happen.

We went to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy–never with more than two weeks notice and I had to do all of the packing, unpacking, and cleaning myself! Oh, and we spent overnight in Paris. Flew into de Gaulle Airport, then had to take the bus to Orly Airport. Saw the Eiffel Tower from the bus window. However, I’m sure that’s not the kind of dream honeymoon “shit for brains” is talking about.

        But, there are people who will say that Roof was influenced by “free speech” and thus, those exercising that First Amendment right cannot be held accountable. That’s a problem that we have in this country. There is no law against hate. A person who expresses hate against another people, whether because of the color of their skin, they sexual preference, their gender, religion,birth defects, or any other reason, cannot be charged with a crime until and unless they actually cause physical harm to another. Prosecutors throw those who suffer emotional and/or financial harm into the civil courts. In other words, a person like Roof could terrorize numerous people with his hate and ideologies, and there is no resolve or recourse for those so terrorized until he acts on his hate by taking lives.

    I have a very serious question. I pray someone may be able to answer. Someone stole my credit card NUMBERS and PINS to a few of my credit cards. They didn’t take my cards but took the numbers and pins to make purchases online at various places. No one seems to be able to tell me who is doing it. But they did put a stop to it. Can’t they trace the IP address?

      It sounds as if someplace you frequent, either in person or online, had a data breach. If you can remember what you were doing the day you used the affected cards, you might be able to narrow it down that way. When I worked at MCI, we could run a “trace route” script that pinpointed where the network was bogging down. Inevitably, it pointed back to one of our own routers!

      Unfortunately, few (if any) companies are as sophisticated or high tech as you see on TV. Those are all for show and are more fiction than fact.

      PF Chang’s reverted back to the old Carbon Copy Imprinting System after such a data breach. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/08/04/pfchang-credit-debit-card-data-breach/13567795/. When I worked retail (Yeah, I’ve had a lot of different jobs!), we would pull out the carbons along with the customer’s copy and give all to the customer. That way, the customer was responsible for disposal, instead of us having to worry about dumpster divers obtaining the info.

      It also could be from an ATM skimmer. This article may be of help: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0216-protecting-against-credit-card-fraud

      Hope you are able to get to the bottom of it, Shyloh. You have my deepest sympathies.

      Shyloh,
      To answer your question, tracing an IP address does nothing more than lead to the internet service provider. There are some programs that say they trace to the originating address, but that is actually to the office of the internet service provider. Law enforcement can get account holder information, or an attorney that has filed a case and submits a subpoena.

      Along with the skimmer problem already mentioned, you have to worry about servers in restaurants and medical offices…all of which have made the news. Another problem is a skimming device that can read cards in your purse. To avoid that one you should buy one of those aluminum cases which shield the cards and block them from the mobile type of skimmer. Then you have to worry about garbage diggers still…..buy a shredder and shred all your bills.

      Hope it gets straightened out.

          Linda, my veins are small and crooked. Most lab techs take a look and know to get a child’s needle. I’ve not have blood taken from the back of my hand, but sure have had enough IV needles in that location. Thanks for your kind words. I’m feeling better and hopefully tomorrow, I’ll feel better than I do today.

            Xena, my daughter was born in an old WWII Army hospital in Germany. Everything was white. White uniforms, white walls, white sheets…. When they finally got the IV in after going back and forth between my right and left hands, it looked like a crime scene! Blood sprayed everywhere, on the sheets, on the walls. I’m pretty sure it even hit the 20+ foot ceilings!

    I have a lot of cookouts with friends, coworkers etc. at my home. I have a feeling someone from a recent party went through my purse and just took the numbers. Shopping was from Sears.. JCPenny’s Shell Gas, Just to name a few.. Total was over 3,000 dollars. Of course I personally haven’t used my cards in awhile.

    Thank you so much Linda for the information.

      Gawd, I feel for you, Shyloh! Now, you’re going to be eyeballing everyone in your circle of acquaintances with suspicion. Definitely hide your purse whenever you have people over. My mother used to hide money in a box of laundry detergent. Every time she paid for something, the bills smelled Tide fresh!

        Yes because I looked at the date they were used. Checked my dates and that day I was home getting ready for the party all day. So it had to be that.
        Love your mom’s idea. It’s sad. But they’ll get back what they dish out.

    I hope you feel better Xena soon!
    I was going to nominate you for the three day quote challenge but after reading about your health problems and computer problems I don’t know if that’s really a good thing to do with this time. I hope you feel better I if I knew it was a matter I’m very good at researching stuff so I can find some maybe answers for you or something and pray for you.

    I hope you get better soon and also if you could ever afford a Galax Note 4 phablet, get one because you can do everything on it. The vocal recognition software on it is so good you can dictate a lot of things and simply check before posting it.

    You can create super high-quality images with it too with a high definition picture 16 megapixel cameras …..pretty cool thing.

      Hey Paulette! Thanks for your consideration and kind words. I would love taking the 3 day quote challenge, but finding 3 other blogs that have not already been nominated, and who are willing to take the challenge, is a bit too much for me right now. As far as the new and improved technology, one reason I stick with the old is because I know it and don’t have to spend time learning new things. 🙂 I’m the person who, back in 1998, was offered money for my 286 computer to be used as a boat anchor. LOL! I finally got another computer in 1999 that I held onto until 2007. The desktop from 2007 is still what I use today for many things. It took until 2010 for my son to talk me into using a laptop. LOL!
