OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Ok, it’s the last day of the month, but still. A lot of Catholics and other Christians want to help find a cure for breast cancer and help those who already have the disease, but understandably don’t want to donate to organizations that directly or indirectly support Planned Parenthood or fetal stem cell research. Here are a couple links to charities they might like to support. NOTE--some of these links are a couple years old, so you may want to Google each organization to see the latest on them:

SAW A GUY WEARING ROBIN HOOD BOOTS

Reminded me I should start shopping for a new boot. Maybe boots even. Looking on the bright side, it IS easier shopping for one boot instead of two. Especially when you've got feet like mine.

THIS MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL

In a nutshell: someone from the Huffington Post asked Wil Wheaton from Big Bang Theoryif they could use one of his articles for free. He said no, as this "progressive" web site is worth $50 million and brings in $30 per year. 

I've had similar offers (not from Huffington). Some I've refused, some I've taken people up on. Although I'm inclined to agree with Wheaton on this one. Another line is "you can hand out business cards."

John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were arrested. I remember that morning. I went home after my shift and fell asleep on the couch. While I was asleep I felt as though I had been kicked in the chest by a horse. When I woke up I found out they had been captured.

Four of the five wounds are healing but the last one still looks pretty bad and I am having trouble bending my toes. Not sure if this is normal. And the antibiotics are not making me feel any better. Good thing I didn't go to Pennsylvania.

It did NOT rank up there with the SCARIEST MOVIES EVER, but the 3-D SFX were kind of cool.

NEVERMORE

When S and B went to London they got videos of the "belching raven." I swear. It actually belched like a human being. And people fed it stuff which probably made it belch more. On hearing this one of my former co-workers did a great combinations of bird sounds, belches and quoting Poe. I realize I am too old to be amused by this.

ZOUNDS

I must have an incredible pain threshold. I've had a raging UTI since Sunday. Maybe even Saturday.  And I think I'm dehydrated, too, as I took in at least 40 oz of fluid and it took me almost an hour to give a urine sample.

GYPSIES, TRAMPS....

For years Gypsy costumes have been deemed politically incorrect. Bustle.com says
“The term 'Gypsy' evolved from the habit of calling the people Egyptians, because they sort of looked Egyptian and the locals were apparently too shy to ask the people where they were actually from…Any costume called ‘Gypsy’ perpetuate stereotypes of the Roma being strange and mysterious thieves that dress like fortune tellers, arguably glorifying their marginalization in the process.”

It would help if they stop threatening to murder me. Ok, one of them just threatened to break my neck, which could arguably be a threat to paralyze, not murder me. The chick in the green-stripped T looks alarmingly like one of my Romany cousins: http://www.bustle.com/articles/36290-what-is-a-gypsy-gypsy-sisters-other-series-dont-paint-a-full-picture

ROLLING, ROLLING

I used to think wheeled suitcases were really nifty until I had to walk behind or sit next to someone pulling one. Before these things were invented people would never lug that much crap along with them.

TODAY IS NO BRA DAY

It is supposed to raise awareness about breast cancer. I don't care. I am wearing a bra. One of my Facebook friends says  "I refuse to sexualize cancer awareness. Cancer affects the entire person, and ANY gender can get breast cancer." 

I agree. These gimmicky things just trivialize cancer and probably do nothing to prevent or cure it. As another FB friend says, are we supposed to wear no underpants to promote colon or testicular cancer awareness?

Joan Fagalde, who died of breast cancer, agreed.

UNDRUGGED

One of my online acquaintances returned after about a year of absence. She changed her anticonvulsants which she says were sedating her after many years. Unfortunately she also realized she didn’t love her SO anymore (not sure if they were married). Obviously this sucked for them both but he has come to grips with it and they are still friends.


Although I don’t have seizures I have been on various medications since I was 23, some of which messed up my body and brain. I feel sorry for people who never knew me unmedicated but not sure if apologies would be possible or appropriate.  

THE BIG D

C and I deal with a woman whose name begins with "D." I started calling her "Deliria," in the MAD magazine vein. C started calling her "Diarrhea" in the manner of Larry Flynt. Then he decided it was mean so now we call her "Dementia."

WEEK NINE

Foot still bleeds now and then but not much, still having nerve pain. A  woman on the Cleveland Park listserv is considering having a bunionectomy. This is the advice I gave her: "My surgeon was Paul Giegerich at Washington Hospital Centre. I had a big bunion, a hammer toe and an old break which didn’t heal properly. Dr. Giegerich ended up putting two screws in. However, he says if the patient is healthy enough and both bunions are small enough he might do both feet at one time.

Unless you are some kind of medical miracle or your bunions are very small I would NOT have both feet done at the same time. I wouldn’t say this is the worst pain I’ve had in my life, but it is definitely the longest-lasting. Pain meds are a must. Be prepared to spend the first couple days after the surgery completely off your feet except to go to the bathroom or really necessary stuff like that. Dr. Giegerich told me to plan a six to eight week recovery period. So far it’s been seven and I’m still having pain. Last year a doctor told me to plan on twelve.

Not much else I can tell you other than it IS gonna be painful and be prepared to be incapacitated for at least a couple days. Not trying to scare you, just trying to be realistic."

THE NAME GAME

Names I have been called: 

1) Hopalong
2) Footloose
3) Thumper
4) Stumpy
5) Gimp (the verb) 

Years ago H called me "Hinky" from the German verb "hinken," to limp. It's their version of "Gimpy." One of C's dogs had a broken left foot which didn't heal properly. I suggested we name him Hinky but she said if we did he'd have to go to the concentration camp (her words, not mine). Instead, we named him Christy, after Christy Brown, the inspiration for the movie My Left Foot.

IT'S HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOMECOMING WEEKEND

They cancelled the parade due to the weather: http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2015/10/why_i_hate_howard_s_homecoming_weekend.html

The robbery took place during HU homecoming weekend. It was also University of Maryland Homecoming weekend. That doesn't take place until November. 

I WENT TO A CATHOLIC GIRLS' SCHOOL

I never met a more vulgar, foul-mouthed bunch of women in my life. It's almost an accomplishment. 

CELL PHONES DON'T HURT PEOPLE

People with cell phones hurt people, It's called "phubbing" http://www.medicaldaily.com/bad-romance-paying-too-much-attention-your-mobile-phone-can-harm-your-relationship-355054

The boys with whom I went to elementary/school. I was in the eighth grade then: 


The girls, same age: 

A guy who worked for the Montgomery County school system said "eighth grade boys are a hot mess. Eighth grade girls are a force to be reckoned with." 

Therein lies the problem. 

OH, MY G-D, I AM IN LOVE

I just found this woman's artwork on the Internet. It takes my breath away: 


Her name is Mindy Sommers

THOSE WHO WRITE ON SHITHOUSE WALLS MUST ROLL THEIR SHIT IN LITTLE BALLS.

JUST BECAUSE A MAN DOESN'T CONSTANTLY KISS WOMEN'S ASSES AND TELL THEM HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE DOESN'T MAKE HIM A MISOGYNIST

Just because I dare correct you doesn't make me a hater.

BLINDED BY THE...

A woman in North Carolina named Jewel Shuping says she felt she was "meant" to be blind. She reportedly asked her psychologist to blind her and says she's now happier than she's ever been: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3256029/Woman-dreamed-blind-DRAIN-CLEANER-poured-eyes-fulfil-lifelong-wish-says-happier-ever.html

Apparently she has a legitimate disorder called Body Integrity Identity Disorder in which people feel they are meant to be blind, deaf, paralyzed etc. Some people put their arms on train tracks or shoot themselves in the leg in order to have a limb amputated. One theory is fascinating--it maintains there is a brain disorder which makes a body part feel foreign. Just as people with food poisoning or some other toxin in their body have the urge to vomit it out, these people need to be rid of their limbs. 

Sad. To think I felt bad about having TEETH removed.
