What happen to my mind?

2011-06-25T14:51:00.001-04:00

I know it has been awhile sense I've written, but today I felt like sharing a few things that has happened to me in the past few years. The best thing I'm had happen is we now have a new grandchild and after 5 boys, we now have a little girl wish I was closer to her so I could spolded her. They are comming to Myrtle Beach next month and I can't wait.

My husband has seamed to have gotten worse and he will not slow down so I am getting very depressed about it and there really is't really nothing I can do to get him to seddled down. Plus he is very possest with wanting to sue BB&T bank which they admitted they did wrong. Then there is the Hoilday Inn in Charlston where he was taking a shower to getting ready for surgary on his throat that morning. Well he slipped and fell out of shower and they delayed his surgary for 4 hours to make sure he did not have a comcustion. Well after the surgary I made a complaint for the second time to Holiday Inn about his slip and fall that morning. He had a headache for the next two days so I had him call his VA Doctor about it and they told him to go to the hospital and get an MRI, so we did and the Doctor told him he had a Post Pardon Concustion. We called the Holiday Inn and they told us no reports were made and the Doctor had Norman go once more for an MRI and it showed the same thing. So we have been tryying to get a lawyer here that would help us and not one has offered to help us. Norman will go into a room and forget what he was going to get and now I'm feeling like a helpless person who doesn't know how to help him. As far as the Bank goes we can't fing s lawyer to help us ever thought the bank said that it was thier falt. I'm tierd and worryed about every thing now and we really want to move winthin the next month ever if we have to stay at Norman's sisters house while Melanie and her family are here on their Vacation. Well I guess I've vented enought, if you have any susgestion please wrie me back . Hope everyone of doing

My Health Insurance

2009-06-24T10:56:00.003-04:00

My husband is a Vietnam Vet and is 100% disabled. Anyway one of the benefits we get is that I receive Health Insurance called ChampaVa. It pays 80% of all my bills and we have never had any problems with it at all to date and all have to do is pay a $50.00 deductible. The other day I broke my leg. So I went to my bone Doctor who fixed a broken ankle several years ago and who I saw about 3 months ago about my knees. (Dr. Yates) Anyway we signed in and I had to fell out several papers and then for the first time after 5 years of using him they called us back into an office to advise us they No longer us ChampaVa. I was in a very lot of pain and sounded out with a few cuss words (Lord forgive me). Anyway we opt to see him if I had gone to the Hospital they would have sent me to him anyway for a cast if I needed one. Needless to say I broke the Fibula which is close to my knee. Plus it is close to a lot of nerves and that means I couldn't have a cast or anythint wraped around it so I have to stay about 3 to 4 weeks in bed. My point is that why would a doctor stop using Military benefits? I have never had a doctor tell me they don't us a Goverment Insurance. NOW my biggest worry is all the people who are going to recieve the the New Insurance, Obama is working on, and are they going to be turned down for using a Goverment Insurance? That was so unfair to me and a shock to my husband. I would hate to see the people turned down when they relly need the help. Why would a doctor any doctor turn down a Goverment Health Insurance?
Oh and why would they turn down any insurance that pays 80% of the bill? That is guarnteed money that the doctors get. It just doesn't make sense......

I see more people losing Jobs....

2009-06-23T10:06:00.003-04:00

Boy I guess I'm full of it today. Pres. Obama I'm sorry but why is it you are trying to help bring jobs back to the US, and at the same time signing a New Tobacco Bill that could hurt some farmers, even the ones who already had to let go some workers? What really hurts is to go to a door of a manufacture and see a sign that says, "We are sorry but we have relocated to Mexico so we can use cheaper labor". I feel if they move back here some would work for manual wages or even less just to keep their homes and at the same time not take out so much from Societal Security benefits. If I'm right lets say I work 3 days a week for manual wage would not S.S. give me a little for the other 3 days? Or just as good would I not qualify for at least food stamps? I really feel we are really going down hill-Please bring back you manufacturers back to where they belong and. Cigarette Company's why don't you lower your prices. Don't get me wrong Smoking really isn't good for you, but what's just as bad? Drinking,Drugs, Smoking, losing your job and then drinking, or smoking or taking drugs to make the reality go away?
Oh by the way did you read about the $105.9 Billion the Congress Rewrote? Just how many of them are losing their homes are having to get food stamps? God (sorry Lord) but, I am really getting sick....and you?

feeding The USA

2009-06-23T09:53:00.003-04:00

I personally thank what Madonna, Brad and AJ are doing for the poor underfeed children over seas it is a good thing. BUT, what about all the children here in the good old USA? Is it because they are to old now for adoption,Americans, What? I truly don't understand and I give what I can to the children and to the people here. If I have an extra can of anything I gave it to the mail servers when they have their drives and when I have extra money, clothes, etc. I give it when I can. You know if I had the Millions or even extra dime I give it and I know by doing this it is helping not just the children but it also helps their parents and I also know it will stay here in the USA.
Oh thank you Ashton Kutcher for what you and Demi are doing with your drive and as soon as I can, I will send you what little we have to give.

Stimulus Plan for Unemployment

2009-06-16T11:41:00.005-04:00

So my neighbors in S.C. get an extra $25.00 on their unemployment. For some that meant $25.00 more dollars to pay their , gas, elect., etc. BUT it also made them lose , yes I said LOSE hundreds of dollars for food stamps that they need.
OK President Obama some of the help you are giving people are great, but what's next are you going to raise disability up so that those who are not to make over a certain amount so they won't be taxed? That to me would be taking away from the poor to put taxes back into the pockets of someone else? Or put the taxes into a plan to help people who don't have insurance or are you going to raise our insurance so the extra money we pay will help the uninsured? I personally would like them to have insurance so please don't take ours away from us by paying more. I don't dislike you but please don't be the opposite of Robin Hood and take from the poor and give to the poorer or the rich.

Tobacco limits

2009-06-14T11:29:00.003-04:00

Well here we go again Tobacco limits. OK I agree some people don't won' to be near it and restaurants have banned it and malls have banned it. So that took away some farmers jobs that has been carried from generations and has cost them a great loss of family income. Now this new ban will do more harm to these family's and will cause more job loses. OK I agree smoking isn't good for you but that is your chose and not the governments and well just like I have the right to voice my opinion are they going to take that away from us to? Lets see, no pry in schools, no pledge allegiance to God and Country, the list goes on and on. To the tobacco companies who read this. WHY not have a war just like the gas companies did years ago. Start lowering your prices and just see what happens. The papers were wrong when they said millions of people die every year of smoke related deaths. Prove it... Go by the numbers and tell us the truth for once. My best friend died a few years ago are you counting her causes she died of a cancer which was non related to smoking. My daughters best friend at a young age died of a non related smoking cancer. Give us a true number please. Stop causing people to lose there jobs. I am not going to pull the trigger and blow my brains out but what about the farmers? The people who lose there jobs?? I'm sorry I guess that would be a smoke related death.
We as people of these United States should be given a choice ourselves to pledge allegiance to God and country...Thank you for letting me vent and please don't cause people to lose what little money they make because you think a new law sould be in forced.

House

2009-05-24T09:23:00.003-04:00

Well I figured you would read this Blog, Ms Lisa how are things going and whats new with the house. I had take Norman to the Hospital the other day cause we thought he had another blood clot close to his heart. Thank God it was just a pulled musical. Please write or call me soon. Love,hugs,and kisses to all, Pam

WELL?????

2009-05-17T13:11:00.003-04:00

I guess no one reads my blogs or my tweeter comments. I have thoughts to share and not one person has the B.... to write me back with a comment so I guess I won't write any more comments obout our great country.

Should we cry or should we laugh?

2009-05-13T10:32:00.003-04:00

Years ago we worried so much about AIDS and now it's a common house hold word that we talk about during dinner. Then we live through the horrors of the 9/11 ordeal, which still brings chills to my spine. Now we have hero's, like the plane that hit a flock of birds and safely landed in the water savings lives. Now we are hearing about the swine flu which has already hit America and I feel we should have heard about it before it ever crossed over into our lands. Now today I read in the news about a plane not yet flying but sucks up a luggage ben into its engine and scaring hundreds of people. So O.K. should I laugh or should I cry?

What's next?

2009-04-30T10:51:00.003-04:00

If it isn't a wildfire that keeps me on edge, now it's the swine flu. Now they are talking about all these car dealerships going out of business yet every day we see their commercials on the TV. I almost to the point of buying a boat, living on it with no TV just a radio and some times paying for a dock fee so we can resupplies food and fresh water if the water hasn't become contaminated with something. Then while we are at dock we can make sure we've gotten the latest news and leave again on a great adventure in our boat.

Our New Grand Baby is going to be a Girl

2009-04-18T11:51:00.004-04:00

It's a girl, it's a girl. My daugther found out this past week that she is going to have a girl. So now we will have 5 Grandsons and 1 Grand daugter. Can you tell I'm excited? It's a girl it's a girl

I can't wait and yes I will be there when she is born. Haven't missed one yet...

God bless all who reads this and pray she will be as excited as I am. (I'm pretty sure she is) cu Auntie Pam

Not Happy

2009-04-08T11:39:00.003-04:00

We were going to see my niece and we ran into some problems so with Easter coming this weekend I believe it will be after that before we get to see her and her house. To me things work out for a reason. Be it Gods will or someone playing mean tricks on us. No matter what I am going to go there before the end of this month.
I did get some good news about my Mother who is out of her cast and going to have at least a month of therapy but it is good news. My Father is also doing great and I have to say seeing all my grand sons happy and healthy was wonderful. Well got to go for now. Bless all who read this and have a very happy Easter.

Excitement

2009-04-02T12:06:00.002-04:00

This coming Friday April,3rd I will get to see my niece Lisa for the first time in about 7 years and I will get to meet her husband and two children. Boy that really makes me feel like a Great Aunt. Anyway I have so much excitement that this part of my family I will get to see. I'm sure I'll have lots to say when we get back. Blessings to all Great Auntie Pam

Trip Update

2009-03-18T07:24:00.003-04:00

First of all my mothers broken leg has turned out to be not bad so the small cast she is wearing has allowed her to move around better and so I get to do things and not stay in the house with her all the time. I am planning on leaving the end of this month and I am so excited cause I will get to see my niece who I haven't seen in several years. She is selling her house and I might buy it cause it really sounds nice and is so close to what Norman and I would like to retire in and it will put us like in the middle of his family and my family so it would be only a few hours both ways if we needed to go there in a hurry. Well I will up date more later cause I will be adding pictures of all our grandsons 3 of them are in Florida right now for spring break and won't be home until Saturday so next week I will get to spend time with them. EXCITED, EXCITED
I will write more later- Blessings to all and see ya, Great Auntie Pam

Trip

2009-03-14T08:20:00.003-04:00

This is going to be short and sweet. I am on the road now to Chattanooga, TN to help out my Mother who has broke her leg. It's not going to be all work and no play cause I will get to see all the Grandsons and our two older kids. But first, I do cut my trip in half and stop over at my in laws in Augusta, GA and see our Great nephew and his mother who is at any time now going to have her second son and boy is she big. I have a feeling by the time I head back to Myrtle Beach she will have the new baby. I really am excited for her, I do believe she is the first so called in-law who has stayed honest to me about things she feels and has allowed me to really feel like a aunt to her. Family is wonderful and I will never stop saying just how much.
Anyway it is about 8:30 a.m. I am about to head on to Chattanooga. I will write more of my adventures later.
Blessings to all.

My Father

2009-03-07T10:53:00.002-05:00

Today is my fathers birthday and there is a little sadness in my heart knowing he is getting older. Well so do I on my birthday, but that doesn't make me sad. My father has made his life an everyday adventure. From swooping cars for boats, boats to a large black car that had running panels on each side and I would play in the car with my friends that we were in a mob and we would take turns being the driver and the Big Boss. It really was fun. Then he traded the car for a pop up camper and we would go camping at least every other weekend. Now that was real fun and the first time I ever caught my first fish. No matter what we cooked while we were camping the food always tasted better. Well then he traded the camper for a Harley Hog that he let me drive it around the house and on the road in front of our house. I really couldn't go to far cause he let some air out of the tires just to make sure. With the hours he worked they were called swing shifts. On the weekends he didn't work we would leave like on a Friday evening and go spend a few nights in Florida, that was the best trade he make. Well Dad Happy Birthday and many more to come. I love you..

Getting Sick

2009-02-22T19:13:00.003-05:00

I do not like being sick these days. My Norman needs me more and when he has to wait on me I feel guilty. Monday I had a nasty fall and hurt my hip, head, and left are all because I wanted the put bird seed in my feeders so the birds would not have to go some where else and look for food. Anyway I was caring a very heavy container in my left hand and using my right hand to throw up into an upper branch that has openings on all sides, but what a surprise my underhanded throw isn't what it use to be. And down I went, I guess I was so mad I couldn't even laugh about it. Oh and yes it would have made a good home video for funnest people but think God it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Thank you for letting me share. Good health to all. Auntie Pam

Getting Older

2009-02-16T09:46:00.004-05:00

I never realized just how much section parts of the body get older as you do. I found out not to long ago I have rheumatoid arthritis in my right knee and not it is in my right hip. Believe me it really hurts when it rains and the only medicine I was given is called Meloxicam and it really does work on the areas it needs to. You know I really don't feel old and my hobby's haven't suffered from having this. I laugh just about every time I talk to me Dad about it cause he is a true believer in taking the Tylenol arthritis and it stops all his pain. He has is in quite a few places and that does not stop him from anything. I guess you really have to get use to it. It has been raining here for about a day 1/2 here and this morning I decided to feed all my wonderful birds that come to see me everyday. Anyway I was going to throw a few on the ground for some of the birds who like to kick the dirt around for worms. To make a long story short my underhand throw just isn't what it use to be cause it throw me right to the ground and on my right side. I sure was glad it was still dark cause that was about the funnest thing I ever done, but it wasn't to funny till after I cried for a while. Well God Bless you all and stay safe and please stay in good health.

Family

2009-02-15T08:27:00.000-05:00

Family, reather it be in-laws, step brothers or sisters, I seam to have a few of all. It is really hard when you find out that a member of your family has passed away and it is harder to find out two (2) months later that they are gone and you didn't even get to wish they a safe journy or pray they go to a place of peace. My step-father passed Dec. 31, 2008 and just now finding out kinda hurts. So what do you do. I have tryed to call several persons and I have gotten no response. My mother Betty passed way back in 1974 or so and sense then my family hasn't really tryed to contact me. I spoke to my step father about 3 years ago and I knew he was very ill, he told me or he promised me he would some how have someone advise be if things got worse, but that didnot happen. I have a wonderful step-brother who is very smart and should have let me know if there was any thing I could do to help with arrangments. But I haven't to this day heard from him. My half sister, witch that was her father, just tryed to comtact me and my brother (full brother)and so I call him to find out what is going on. He said our sister was so druged up that he really didn't know what was going on. I trully belive she was more worried about what money he was leaving her so she could use it for her habit, but God bless her so wasn't in formed of anything. Maybe Lance (step-brother) will call me soon and let me know when in May my step-fathers ashes will be put where he wished. God bless all my family and I paray I heard from them soon.

Our oldest

2009-01-27T11:10:00.000-05:00

Our oldest cat is 17 years old and has started having seizures and for some reason his goes to the bathroom where ever he pleases. We are going to take him to the vet sometime next week. I hope it is something we can fix. I don't won't to hear her say he is to old for surgery and we would have to ether go through the pain with him and let him suffer until he dies or go ahead and let her put him down so he want suffer anymore I just can't image him not being here but if that would be the way for his not to suffer anymore I think we will go ahead and let her do it. We have already lost one dog to cancer and I'm afraid that's what our cat has. It really is hard on them as time goes by so I believe this will be the best way to do it. Thanks for letting me vent.

2009-01-21T11:09:00.000-05:00

I will always be a good friend with my first husband. Just because I know he will always be there for me. I am truely sorry that some people don't share in my relationship with my first husband. There is only one Grayson and I think I will always keep him. I am now married to a wonderful man that frendship is written into the Love we have for each other. I am going to try again to add a picture of me and him. We were married outside his mothers house who lives along the Inner National Coastal Water Way. The day was so pretty and there was a chance of rain that day (June), but God blessed us so much that day and it didn't start to rain until 8:00 that night so let me try and put a picture with this.

2009-01-21T11:04:00.000-05:00

OK maybe it will work this time now that I have Lisa's help. I am going to try and put in pictures.

2009-01-20T12:40:00.000-05:00

It's head to believe, but it is snowing right now in Myrtle Beach, SC. I would love to be up in the mountains right now and enjoy more snow. I hope someone would comment on my blog. I am going to learn how to post pictures and show everyone all 5 of our grandsons. Boy do we miss them. It want be long now until we get to see them. I am hoping for the end of next month and I am also excited about seeing my niece Lisa who I haven't see sense our daugther Melanie got married.

I will also get used to blogging so I can start speaking about things I have issues on.

Take care everyone and God bless, Auntie Pam

2009-01-19T09:40:00.000-05:00

It's not everyday you get to see the ones you love or the family you had from a first marriage, but this is my biggest reason for the blog. In great hopes my family's will write back and enjoy our blogging together. Welcome to all in hopes to find you well and doing great.

I am a 43 year old lady with 5 ( five ) grandsons with the hope our unmarried son will soon marry and we can maybe have our firs granddaughter. I am what you call a Tennessee Hillbilly, born and raised an right now my adventure has put me in Myrtle Beach, SC. because my husbands family lives here and he has the worry of his mother getting sick. Well I worry about my parents who live in Tennessee so we are going to try and find a place to live that will put us pretty much in the middle of both places. Family means so much to both of us and having a husband who understands the worries you have and a wife who shares his worries well lets just say we have a wonderful understanding of each other.

OK, I know this is a short note because I am new at this, I hope I will make my blogs longer and better as I go along. God loves you all, and blessings to you as well. Auntie Pam
