Want to talk about stuff?

Jesus and Moses are sitting up in heaven in the late 70s early 80s looking down on the beaches of California.
Jesus says, “Damn Moses, I’m bored.” Moses says, ”Me too. it looks like they are having a good time. Let’s go down.”
So, they go down and are walking along the beach with their long hair and flowing robes and they just blend in.

Jesus says, “Damn Moses I don’t understand, the last time I was down here people would gather around and praise me.”
Moses says, “I know me too. Watch this I’ll show them.”
He walks over, grabs a frisbee and throws it out in the ocean. Walks up to the water, raises his hands and parts the water.
He walks out picks up the frisbee, walks back to shore and everyone says, “Yeah Moses.”

Jesus says that’s pretty good Moses, but watch this.” He grabs the frisbee, throws it out in the ocean, takes off running
across the water and just sinks.

Moses walks up to water, raises his hands, parts the water, pulls Jesus up on shore, and pumps the water out of him.
Jesus wakes up & looks at Moses, says, ”I don’t understand Moses, the last time I was down here I used to do this all the time.”
Moses says, “SURE JUSES, BUT THAT’S BEFORE YOU HAD THE HOLES IN YOUR FEET.”

2 years ago I was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy after I went to the hospital for pain relief. It changed my life for good. I have chronic pain 24/7. Usually it is controllable but a couple times a day, after I sleep for awhile, the pain is rough. You have to find the good stuff out of a hard situation. Keep going. It is hard sometimes, depressing, crappy thoughts, boring life...I remind myself of those who have it a lot worse than I do.

I wish you all the best. I hope you find some joy in the small things. Memories are fun...so are cool pictures. :)

Paco, I have so much to be thankful for. My best friend has Neuropathy
in his feet and it hurts him to walk Throw in COPD and can hardly breathe it is awful. I just have an inconvenience. No cancer. I know a few older folks with chronic pain. I don't know how y'all deal with it. It must take some amazing strength and will power. I just need to get up off my ass and bull ahead. My saving grace is before my surgery I was extremely active and fit. I was a PE teacher for 40 yrs and exercised with my kids and then came home and worked out. VERY RARELY sat. Now I sit more in a week than I did in months back then......

Talk about stuff.
I wanted to buy a camcorder.
Done the research on line, made my choice.
Rang the business, "Sorry, we do not have that model in store. We can order it for you. Will take at least 7 to 10 days."
My response - " Your web site states in store"
"Sorry, we do not have it in store"
Rang another store that stated on web site - Stock on hand.
"Sorry, we do not seem to have that one in store"
No wonder on line stores are taking business away from bricks and mortar stores.
Surely the store can have at least one of each item physically in store.?
I will not order on line because I am at work for more than 10 hours a day.
No way would I take the risk of a parcel being delivered and left on my doorstep for maybe 6 hours.

Im struggling but not too bad. My daughter and son live with me much of the time. She is 17 and he 20. Ive quit working out for a few days and finally bought some Wild Turkey tonite to relax. Its weird. My prostate surgery has left me incontinent for a year. It was getting better and now worse. It dominates my life now. I dont do things I used to do. Im not depressed but I just dont do all the things I used to do. I dont have cancer but I have this incontinence.

It aggravates the hell out of me. I used to decorate big for Halloween and Christmas. Now Ive skipped it for a year. I used to got out and do things I used to wkout a lot. Now I just sit on this chrome book and read how awful the world is.......I have lots of people that care about me and call me. But I cannot shake this loss of happiness and being able to just do what I always could do without thinking. SOrry for just rambling here but its me feeling sorry for me......

Missing your old life is destroying your happiness. Don't let that happen!
Fight back
Do Kegels
Wear Depends
Now have a beer
Resume your exercise sessions
Have a steak
Buy yourself a present
Get mean, talk smart, act up! Have fun!

Time is just what you observe it to be? Here is my thought. Just maybe huge universe isn't in our Time Zones. Maybe most of it is in another Space time of existence, is out there somewhere but we can't observe it, we just notice there is something....In other words just maybe most of the unobservable universe is....years in a future we can't experience. In a past we can never experience, just every day more of that past comes to light...stuff just pops in and out of our time of existence.

I've thought along those lines. Maybe there are even parallel universes.... BTW, MSN says the article for your link is no longer available.

Well, you're honest about you feeling sorry for you. Honesty can be healing. It's much better than hiding from your true feelings. Your ponderings about your condition seem to be related to the big ole WHY? I have it sometimes......why? why? why? Most of the time there is no answer, but life goes on.
 
Mel Gibson says his mansion burned to the ground. The family evacuated.
He said he lost all his stuff. They are safe and stuff can be replaced.

An Leo said that if conditions and winds were right LA could Burn to the sea !

Right now I am working through a major event and trying to figure it all out. I say some things don't make sense to me in my life, but the Universe tells me to Pay Attention.

The mental illness that took my partner and his (our) son from me exists for no rhymne or reason. The two of them were rendered incapable of a solid happy life for NO reason whatsoever.

I guess I am in the pissed off madder than hell stage.

When I was very young we had a music teacher come to our school maybe once a month.She taught us the kookaburra song
still remember some of it. 2nd or 3rd grade......

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!

Thank you and the others for the encouragement......I appreciate it.

I call it a "New Normal", @stephenPE
Hang in there...adjusting doesn't have a timeframe you have to meet.
Also, do you know they make internal urinary sphincter balloons? External ones too, but if I were a guy I'd go for the internal one.

They pump up with a little device planted in the scrotum. May want to check that out if you haven't already.
Works almost exactly like an internal erection pump.
Erection one works with blood trapping and the urinary one works by trapping urine in your bladder until you WANT to release urine.

If I were a guy: I'd do it. Depending on your insurance it may be totally worthwhile.

I thought a friend mentioned a sort of prosthetic bladder type sphincter but maybe its what you said, If I cant get it done with therapy I have to do something. THank you.......This was my first surgery and first hospital stay. It was supposed to be simple but it turned out much more complex.

I feel for you, though. So many times some medical people do things and just look at patients as if "Well, you are on your own, deal with it!". Or and insurance company does it...like we don't cover this or that. They NEED to think "QUALITY" of life after something is done.

Your kids are relatively young...

I have medicare and supplement so no problems there. And I had PT for awhile and it helped a lot. My kids are my 2nd go around. I also have a 40 yr old daughter and 35 yr old son. These are with my 2nd wife. They have helped me immensely since my surgery.
 
When I was in 3rd grade the guy that whistled the Andy Griffith Mayberry RFD Theme song showed up at school
He whistled and explains it for over an hour. Earl Hagen was very good. There is a great message in whistling.
 
Most all of are aware of our USA winter so far as a struggle with snow, ice and cold !
But Feb is smashing USA warm temps for the third year in a row!
 
I hope you notice how fast these places selling computer / Electronic parts are slamming their prices up thru the $50 / $100 roofs. Electric motor starting Capacitors used to be $30 now near $300.
