the old me and the new me.

The old me when I weighted 310 lbs and the new me after a 27 lb weight loss.I still have a ways to go in my quest to lose weight.

Let's see if you can get these right.

As the title says my blog friend Just Breathe has a fun test (20 Questions) on her site. I just took it and tomorrow I will see how many I got right. I bet I got most of them right. So if you are up for a challenge, take a trip over and see how many you get. By the way take a pen and paper with you.

A Prayer Request.

Our blog friend Wanda's Wings,has suffered the loss of her son Chris. This is the posting from her site::This is Wanda's friend, Peggikaye. She just called me to tell me that her son, Chris, passed away today.
He'd gotten a cold, then it went to pneumonia and then septicemia (sp?). He coded today and didn't make it.

She's going to let me know the details of his funeral. I'll post more when I know more if she doesn't have the chance or feel up to posting.

Let's keep the family of our blog friend in our prayers,and go offer Condolences and a word of kindness as well.

FlashBack Friday. oops!

About Yesterday's Posting!

The wacky Wednesday posting was already planned and was a scheduled posting. I do have some setup. I have finally calmed down enough to show up today. Needless to say I have a lot to be grateful to SANDEE for she did most of the work to straighten out this blog. Yes Sandee delete is no longer part of my vocabulary as pertaining to my blog(s). Clearing out the junk that accumulates in the computer is a horse of a different color. Now that I got this out of my system, I will now address the comments that every one has left me.

Wacky Wednesday

Instead of Quitting

Instead of quitting, I am taking a break.When I cool down I'll be back.

I Give Up

Blogger and Google has got me so frustrated that I'm ready to quit blogging on Blogger totally and just stick to Wordpress and that goes for the effin reader as well.

the Six Truths in life

SIX TRUTHS OF LIFE

1. You cannot touch all your top teeth with your tongue.

2. All idiots, after reading the first truth, will try it.

3. And discover that the first truth is a lie and feel superior

because they can do it.

4. You're smiling now because you're an idiot.

5. You soon will forward this to another idiot.

6. There's still a stupid smile on your face.

I apologize about this, partially...

I'm an idiot and I needed company ...

And I know you have a sense of humor and some teeth.

Sandee,this applies to you!!!

A Thought

Thank you sandee.

what is a Birthday without a Birthday cake?? Sandee was so kind to provide the cake today I hope every one enjoyed a piece of it with me.

My Birthday

Today I celebrate the fact that I turn a grateful 58 years young. This being said, it has been a struggle to make it this far given all the near disasters that I lived through. When I was younger I did foolish things, any one of the could have lead to my death. Then there were the major health scares that I have had. Then there were the numerous drinking binges and yes some drug use when I was in my early 20s. I have finally managed to put the drinking behind me ever since 17 Dec 1990.

The seizures have not been fun. Nor have the numerous suicide attempts. Gratefully I have survived all that nonsense. I will most likely be in some form of therapy the rest of my life, so be it. I do know that no matter how bad I think I have it, there are others that have it a lot worse off that I do. I'm grateful for all the creature comforts that Celestine and I have. I never for one minute take them for granted.

I'm grateful for the friends and family that I have as well as all my cyber friends. All in all it has been a great ride and I look forward to the future. Especially March 1 2010. Celestine and I will be married 30 years.

Entrecard explanding network to include website owners

Written on January 19th, 2010 by Cindy

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone has had a good year so far! We have exciting new changes coming up in the new year including the one I would like to announce today.

We are very excited to announce that Entrecard is expanding its user base to regular website owners. Over the last couple of years, Entrecard has fulfilled its promise to bloggers by increasing traffic and allowing bloggers to network with one another. Without a doubt, the strength of the Entrecard network is its users. As the company moves forward, we would like to expand our user base to people with regular websites (not just blog sites). Entrecard has helped many bloggers achieve their online goals and we believe that Entrecard can offer the same great benefits to regular website owners. We would like to help them increase their traffic and network with people in their field. By opening up the Entrecard network, bloggers can also network with website owners too.

We understand your concerns about this expansion, but we can assure you that there will be no disruption to our current blogger network which all of you are on. We have created a new “site type” in our sign up form. From now on, anyone who signs up will have the option to classify his or her site as a “blog” or a “website.” Please also note that we’ve added new “site type” search field on http://entrecard.com/category/browserwhich also allows you to see what sites are on each network. These are the only changes you’ll see thus far. Over the next few months, we will be adding more search features so our users can distinguish between “blogs” and “website” in your drops.

By opening up Entrecard to regular websites (and not just blogs), we hope to open more doors and allow our members to network with more users. We’re focused on creating the best user experience that we possibly can and strongly believe that we are headed in the right direction.

Regards,
Cindy

today has not been fun.

well today has not started out well.Celestine who is a Type 1 diabetic,she had an extremely low blood sugar( she was not responding to me).I used an emergency injection to bring up her sugar levels.She was not responding well and I called for an EMS squad.They arrived here gave her some glucose gel in addition to what I did.While this was going on I ended up having a seizure.They wanted to transport bot of us to the hospital.we refused the transport.due to the fact all the hospital would have done was to "monitor" us and send us back home costing us $100.00 bucks each in co-pays. Every thing was fine by 8:45 am.We both had to sign electronic paper work saying that we were refusing to be transported AMA(against medical advice).

Say a prayer for Haiti

The 7.0 earthquake has caused such devastation to Haiti. Being in South Florida, we have a large Haitian population, there are many whom Im sure are touched personally by this. My parents visited twice and loved it, had such compassion for the impoverished citizens.

When you go to sleep tonight, ask God to provide for them.

I want to thank Hap Joy Free for this posting

Prayer request

Andrea and her family have suffered a loss in the family.Let's keep her and her family in our prayers.I have a link to her site.

On military Service.

Several generations of Golch men have donned military uniforms for this country.The first one that I know of was my Great-great uncle Golch( I do not know his First name),he served during WW 1 my Dad Phillip R. Golch served in WW 2,and I served during the Viet Nam War.We all did this because we all have loved this country that much!
I know that there are most likely other Golch men who have served as well,unfortunately some are relatives that I do not know about, they may be distant relatives of my family.

OOPS

Some how I goofed the Birthday song by the beatles was supposed to post at a later date. Oh well.

the Airman's Creed.

In 2007, General T. Michael Moseley, Chief of Staff of the US Air Force, introduced the Airman's Creed^[1]. In a letter introducing the creed, Moseley wrote that one of his "top priorities" was to "reinvigorate the warrior ethos in every Airman of our Total Force."^[1]. Thus, the intent of the creed was to enhance the building of a warrior ethos among its Airmen and to provide Airmen a tangible statement of beliefs.

The Airman's Creed reflects pride in the role of air, space and cyberspace power and the Air Force's commitment in supporting and defending the nation. The creed is fueled by the Air Force's heritage and, in the words of Moseley, "the warfighting-focused culture, conviction, character, ethic, mindset, spirit and soul we foster in all Airmen".^[1]

The creed has not been without controversy, as it supplanted all other creeds that the Air Force had been using (The NCO Creed, the SNCO Creed, the Chief's creed).

[edit] The Airman's Creed

“

I am an American Airman. I am a warrior. I have answered my nation's call. I am an American Airman. My mission is to fly, fight, and win. I am faithful to a proud heritage, A tradition of honor, And a legacy of valor. I am an American Airman, Guardian of freedom and justice, My nation's sword and shield, Its sentry and avenger. I defend my country with my life. I am an American Airman; Wingman, leader, warrior. I will never leave an airman behind, I will never falter, And I will not fail.

”

Fox 8 here in Cleveland has a good news team and a weather team and that is the main reason we even watch that station.I for one donot like to listed to the people that are so bad that it just agrevates me that they(fox) would even air this stuff.I told myself that this would be an unpublished posting,but I decided to post this.

Flashback Friday POSTING # 1395

ON HAVING A BAD DAY.

there are times I run across a blogger who is having a bad day.when that happens I can so totally relate.case in point when we were having a Christmas Brunch hosted by my Sister Sandy,I had several seizures and than had to be helped the stairs to the second floor bathroom is.Celestine was in the bathroom with me in case I had an other one.while sitting on the toilet I had had a bad crying jag,because the seizures keeps me from enjoying being with my family.I usually have to sleep a couple of hours and take medicine for the monster headache that I get after a really bad seizure(most of them are).when that happens while Celestine and I are out we usually come right home for I can sleep.

The point of this posting is this,there are times that we all find ourselves feeling a little sorry for ourselves,and that's OK as long as it is just a short OH POOR ME AND DOES NOT LAST TO LONG.Then you pick yourself right up and get busy enjoying life again.THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT!

A New Award.

Charlotte passed this award out to a lot of people. The rules say to like back to 5 people.That's what the rules say,but as Charlotte said she could not limit it to just 5 people and I cannot as well,so therefore I give this award to all of the Prayer Warriors that follow me and join me in the prayer requests that I post.

There are days that:

as the title says there are days that I get so mad when all I can do is ask for prayers for people.some of the links that I put up can be heart breaking.This is where I find myself tonight.

I know the pain that one of the ladies that I posted about.For the monster that she is talking about was me at one time in a different lifetime,before My soberiety came to me.I am not proud of the things I done,and I hope that god has forgiven me as I have asked for.I am glad that He is in my life now.I will continue to strive to make amends to God for my past sins.

I am now going to shut off this computer for the night,get ready for bed and say my prayers,and hope that I do not have a crying jag that I feel comming on.GOOD NIGHT GOD BLESS.
