What Would You Do?


 The Dawn May Be Here
 

Sorry I have been gone again. Mostly due to not having internet at the house at the present time.

Also Sunday (1/18/09) I went to the emergency room at the local hospital because that previous week I had some abdominal pains that wouldn't go away. I tried various things at home to rule out things like gas, flu, food posioning and the such. Come to find out that when I went to the hospital that my apendex had ruptured.

I had to have emergency surgery that night to get it removed. I got out of the hospital on Tuesday (1/20/09), but was restricted to stay at home and was unable to do much of anything, as the incision needed to heal. I also had a drain tub in me with a small resviour so that fluid that had built up in my system from the apendex rupturing could drain out.

I just had my drain tube taken out yesterday and was released to come back to work today, with some lifiting restrictions. So I can do some of my work, but I cannot do manual labor until the incision has completely healed.

I still have to go back to the doctor on Monday (2/2/09) and see if the staples presently holding my incision together are ready to come out so that it can heal properly. I suspect it will probably still be 1-2 weeks before I am back at 100% and can do all the things that I could do before the surgery.

So that's mostly why I haven't been around. We are looking for a new carrier to get internet at the house again, but for the time being I am restricted as to when I can get on and post something or visit all the rest of you.

Thank you for continuing to read despite my absence here. I appreciate all the friendships that I have made here, and the efforts that you all have made to keep these friendships alive.

May U Live 2 See The Dawn

PS. Whit -- I think we finally have reached that point. It looks good for the future. Perhaps I was wrong that the dawn wouldn't come in my lifetime.

 Notes
 

When I sat there that night, after hearing the news, I read my biography I have on Miss Page by Jim Silke. I just never got a chance to get some time to get on the computer and post something about it. Most of my relatives, knowing what am admirer I am of hers, offered their condolences at Christmas yesterday when I had seen them. I guess I hadn't realized that everyone did realize what a fan of hers I was.

On a happier note (yeah I mean this pun) I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas. So I am going to learn to play the guitar. A co-worker plays the banjo and his instructor also teaches guitar too, so at some point I might take lessons. But first I want to try some on my own and see what I am capable myself with instructional videos or books first before I go to take lessons. Kinda feel myself out on my own.

Otherwise things have been going very well. The kids really cashed in on Christmas this year, as they usually do. Being the only grandchildren on both sides of the family.

Work might only be half of a day today, because it is so slow, so if so, since my wife is going to visit other family and I am on call with my job this weekend, I will probably spend most of the weekend working on my guitar and watching the X-Files seasons that I got for Christmas as well.

I hope that you all had a pleasant and wonderful holiday and . . .

 Bettie Page -- 4/23/23-12/11/08
 

For those of you that did not know. Miss Page passed away on the 11th of December of a heart attack. She had been suffering from pneumonia for some time, and had been unconscious when she suffered from her heart attack. Miss Page was 85 years old.

For those that don't know Miss Page, she was THE "paper girl" as artist Jim Silke says. She was the adoring young lady that has been said to have been photographed over 200,000 times. At this statistic is has and still is the most photographed woman in history. Her photos graced the cover of every "trash" magazine that was popular in the late 40's and into the 50's. Until in 1953 she was Playboy's Playmate of the year, where she might finally have been given some clout.

But that didn't matter to Miss Page, what people thought of her. She knew what her audience wanted and she could deliver it. Whether it was in a bikini, with a whip, nude or posing with another woman. She wasn't just in the photo, when you looked at the photo, she was in your head and heart. She had a way of just jumping out of the photo with her infectious smile and sultry form.  She was unlike any other woman.  No matter her surroundings or stage, she could take that and make it work, and make you feel right there with her.

 

She had something about her that just did something that no other woman could do.  She could appeal to whatever it is that you wanted.  She could be the cute bikini girl, or the stren mistress that men coveted in their minds.  Miss Page was whoever you wanted her to be.  And in that particular photo she was just what you wanted her to be, just for you and no one else.

 

You shall be missed Miss Page.  You brought something to this world that was all your own.  And you certainly owned it and it was no one else's.  Thank you Miss Page for your enthusiasm and lust for life, despite your obstacles.  You won, Miss Page, and we are very thankful for it.  Miss Page, I am so thankful that  . . . U Lived 2 See The Dawn.

 Now This Is Weird
 

Woke up this morning around 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. Usually I sleep well through the night, but I think it was that I went to sleep to early last night, because I wasn't feeling well.

Work is going very well. This company that I am working for right now is great. It's easy to get things done, because they take care of business with their vendors and customers.

It's pretty much the same job I was doing previously, but instead of specific job task, the four of us pretty much throw together and get done what needs to be done to get through the day. It's kind of nice to not have to sit in front of a desk all day as well. I really missed the manual labor part of the job that I was doing before I got the desk job at the previous company.

Things are going pretty well otherwise. It's taking some time to get finances back in order and get caught up from the month or so that I was out of a job. But we have all the necessities so nothing is lacking that is needed. It helps you appreciate what you do have, though, knowing that there are still some people that don't even have that.

I hope this weekend that I can get back here and post some fiction that I have been working on. It's been a while since I have felt creative. But the new job and the happy spirit that it has brought me has made me feel more creative.

Well, I am going to get ready and get to work early this morning and make something of this extra time that I have.

I hope all is going well with the rest of you here on blogstream, and . . .

 Just Read The Service Notice
 

I was going to post about my recent employment status, and how after about 3 weeks I finally have two jobs in place, that all I need to do is make a decision on which one I want.

On the 26th of September I was let go from my job, due to, among some things, a difference of opinion as to way the things were done and how those things effected me doing my job negatively.

Now I see that John is having financial issues with keeping Blogstream running, and now, even though I haven't been posting much, I feel afraid that it will go away if we can't do something for him. Especially since I myself am having such issues.

I have done this for almost 3 years now, I believe, and I never thought when I first started it, that I would stick with this for this long either.

I know it won't be much, but when I do get my job started and have some money to send him, I am going to for sure do so. He has asked so little of us and given so much to us. If the premium upgrade is still available, I shall renew mine when I can too, and help in that way.

Thankfully things are going well now, that I know I have definite job perspectives in sight. Thinking about being unemployed and having a family that depends on you is a scary thing.

I hope as I always say with each monthly post, that I shall endeavour to be more regular. If I had the time to sit and write more fiction, it would help me post more, but the time escapes me each day, and it seems by the end of the day, I want to sleep more than anything.

I hope that all is going well for everyone else, and your lives are prospering.
