Final Installments for Lady Visine

Final Installments for Lady Visine

Her true love died at 3:25 pm central today. She gave her permission to update you all last night. She wants all of you to know that she has felt the effect of all of us holding her in our hearts and that it has helped quite a lot.

Last night, he was showing signs that the end was about to come. His breath was ragged or raspy and some signs of dehydration were there. She decided to follow his wishes and not let the nurses do anything that would involve tubes and wires. She has been by his side for the last day and a half and was able to keep her promise to be near when the end came.

Last night, when I was on the phone he was clear of mind enough to wave a hello, so she was thankful for that. He slipped quietly in the afternoon today. She is sort of still in shock and is having to coordinate the final arrangements. She will go home tonight. She is selectively taking phone calls, but don't be surprised if the line is busy.

She thanks everyone for all of their support.

BTW: The Entlebrucher Sunnerhund (the dogs they bred for the last 10 years or so) were just yesterday accepted into the AKC as a working dog/ miscellaneous group dog. This is something that her husband had been working for and he was coherent enough to know about it before his demise. He will be getting the credit in the dog journals for this monumental achievement. His dream was to see the Entlies at the Westminster Dog show, and now they can go! Good Job!

October is Breast Cancer Month!

October is Breast Cancer Month!

Ok, So everyone knows someone who is female, right?
Did you know that Breast Cancer can affect men as well?
There is a button on Patty's blog that goes to a site that gives screening to women based on need and the number of clicks


go click it!!!

We really need to support efforts to evade one of the top killers of women.
do it every day, you're online anyway, like brushing your teeth or eating, or breathing. It's that important.

Things I get ticked off about

1. missing one little > in the code that makes the whole thing stupid
2. working 6 hours to make a pretty thing in PSP and then not saving the darn thing
3. having teachers and parents falsely accuse my son, without going through a proper interrogation of the matter
4. reading really dry text books about curriculum building blah!
5. waking up two hours too early when I could have had a good night's sleep for a change


now I realize that in the greater scheme of things, none of these are permanent disasters, but good grief! I really hate being inconvenienced.

wow! what a week!

1. Lady Visine>>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

2. I substituted in a class while I had a horrific cold. They needed me, honest! I just hope they gave it to me and not the other way around.

3. etainne@ efx2blogs is up, sort of. It used all of my free time on Wednesday, and then I accidentally reset something and lost all of the stuff I had... Ack... shoot!

4. I have to wonder about my loved ones. One is haveing a problem w/ her hubby, My grandmother needed a pacemaker upgrade. Can't really go see her since I have a cold.

5. Treasa has been really busy working on updating blogs and such. She is amazing.

6. Son of mine is being sneaky about his schoolwork. I cannot tell what his homework is or anything.

7. Thanks PD for everything! Thanks to Chica and others too!

8. Does anyone really have a favorite inexpensive lunch that I can take on campus for when the cafeteria food is inedible? Taking suggestions... I eat meat, no mayo, no cheese, veggies and pasta or fruit or grains are all ok.

Dihydrogen Monoxide: The Invisible Killer

Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless,

tasteless,and kills uncounted thousands of

people every year.

Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation

of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not

end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes 

severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can

include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly

a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte 

imbalance. For those who have become dependent,

DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

1. is also know as hydric acid, and is the 

major component  of acid rain
2. contributes to the "greenhouse effect"
3. may cause severe burns
4. contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape
5. accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals
6. may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness

of automobile brakes
7. has been found in excised tumors of terminal 

cancer patients

CONTAMINATION IS REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found

in almost every stream,lake and reservoir in America

today. But the pollution is global, and the
contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. 

DHMO has caused millions of dollars in property damage 

in the Midwest, and recently California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

- as an industrial solvent and coolant
- in nuclear power plants
- in the production of styrofoam
- as a fire retardant
- in many forms of cruel animal research
- in the distribution of pesticides; even after washing,

produce remains contaminated by this chemical
- as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and 

nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is

still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we 

cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

THE HORROR MUST BE STOPPED!

The American government has refused to ban the production

and distribution chemical due to its "importance to the

economic health of this nation". In fact, the navy and other

military organizations are onducting experiments with DHMO,

and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and

utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of
military research facilities receive tons of it through

a highly sophisticated underground distribution network.

 Many store large quantities for later use.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

Act NOW to prevent further contamination!

Jokes 2 go offers this:

    New Chemical Element Discovered
     
   
The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered
by investigators at a major U.S. research university.
The element, tentatively named administratium, has no
protons or electrons and thus has an atomic
number of 0. However, it does have one neutron,
 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and
111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic
mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by
a force that involves the continuous exchange of
meson-like particles called morons.

Since it has no electrons, administratium is inert.
However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes
every reaction it comes in contact with.  According to
the discoverers, a minute amount of administratium
causes one reaction to take over four days to complete
when it would have normally occurred in less than a second.

Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately
three years, at which time it does not decay, but instead
undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons,
vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places.
Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually
increases after each reorganization.

Research at other laboratories indicates that administratium
occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate
at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations,
and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best
appointed, and best maintained buildings.

Scientists point out that administratium is known to be toxic
at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive
reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being
made to determine how administratium can be controlled to prevent
 irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.


Oh yea! definitely lots of this underfoot!
