Rules for Picking a Partner.

1.  Tell me about your childhood…. Through age 18.

If there is abuse, neglect, trauma, etc.  RUN

2.  Tell me how you handle money.

If he’s not a responsible provider, RUN

Travelers

 

Eighteen Rabbit, a Mayan king and shaman, is one of the first recorded time travelers. He left, and returned with information for the people.

This is exactly what Dick Parsons told me I did in my highest evolved lifetime.  Except I was Hopi.  I was a shaman, who brought information from “the other side” to the people.  1977.

John, Cancer and Canines

To My Friend Who Fears Cancer:

Do you know of Dr. Betsy Eads?  I’ve listened to her since the beginning of the PLANdemic.

Cancer.

Is not a death sentence anymore.

It was when your father was sick - for most all people

But now we have the internet

And we are educated enough to search out information WE personally need.

She addresses cancer.

Treatments.

She does telehealth.  From Florida.

There are many many testimonials as to cancer recovery - including stages 3 and 4….  Things have changed.  We all get cancer, but our immune system handles it…..  So any tests showing you immunity levels, as allopaths interpret it, would be good data points.  Like white blood cell count.  I’m not really up on specific tests for immunity levels.

A cancer diagnosis is something doctors use to scare people, I think.

Plus, they are encouraged to make this diagnosis.

Chemo is the most profitable type of cancer cure (haha) to prescribe.

I sat with my friend John when an oncologist, chemo salesman, tried to talk him into it.  He had stage 4 brain tumor, and tumors in his lower spine.  All started in the lungs.  He was dead in 3-4 months.  John declined.  But he did radiation on his spine because it had “cured” his German Shepard.  He loved that dog.  I had to place him….. 12 year old 100+ pound black wolf-like.  Maybe a belgium shepard.  Cancer survivor.  Not trained to behave outside of his house.  Found a rescue.  Took many days of many phone calls to find “THE ONE”.  They were wonderful!!! With a difficult animal, one with many issues, breed specific rescues are the best I think… He was taken in and lived his best life for 6 more months before he was found dead in his bed in the morning.  Merciful death.  He had a dog companion - that was a first.  And the 2 of them would go out into the back yard and BARK and BARK as they chased each other.

John watched my white Chihuahua, Patooch, when I traveled.  The Shepard loved having a canine companion.  They especially loved walking out on the enclosed front porch and barking at the mailman.  They really enjoyed that.

John lived near the West Chester U. Off campus housing.  The actual campus was maybe a 5 minute walk. One night the cops were chasing someone, looking for them, they knew the perp was close…. And then a copy looked at the Shepard, who was crouched down STARING under a parked car.  BINGO.  Found the guy.  The cops thanked the Shepard.

He also had 4 cats. I placed them with a no-kill rescue, with a big DONATION.

Activist Judges

 

I’ve been listening to Victor Davis Hanson’s podcasts.  Old guy from central CA.  Stanford professor of many years.  Lives on a family farm of many generations.  He talks to changes he has seen in CA, and elsewhere, and he has the perspective that only an elder possesses.

His recent commentary on activist federal district court judges is interesting, and coincides with my remembrances of  how things used to be.  Years ago, a district court judge whose decision was reversed by a circuit court or the Supreme Court was embarrassed…. This was a black mark on his record.   But today, a reversal is a badge of honor.

Rule of Law.  The activist judge has little regard for the rule of law.  They have no compunction to follow precedent.  And they fail to recall that nullification of constitutionally valid federal laws was the reason for the nineteenth century American Civil War.  A civilization cannot function in an environment when there is no certainty as to what the law is or isn’t.  Revolution?  You want revolution?  Oh honey, you have no idea what that entails…. 

Milt’s Best Lesson

 

I was in my late teen-age years, in the early 1970’s.  It was early evening at my grandparents’ house, and a movie I really wanted to see was coming on the television.  I wasn’t sure my grandfather, sitting in his usual chair in front of the TV, and beside the lit fireplace, would be receptive.  But he said, ‘OK, put it on.”

I Heard The Owl Call My Name.

He and I watched it.  I don’t recall anyone else being around.  I was quite spellbound by the story of a young priest, dispatched to minister in a wilderness town amongst the American Indians… he became very sick, and when he heard the owl call his name, the indigenous elders explained the meaning to him.  His time had come.

At least that’s how I remember the story…. I will watch it again and see if my memory is intact.

But here is the lesson:  Milt was a churchgoing and deeply religious Methodist man.  He and his multitude of brothers and sisters always met at the church in downtown Chester on Sunday.  Frequently, I would go with him and my grandmother.   After the indigenous elder said his peace, Milt turned to me and said:

“There are many ways to find God.  There are many paths.  It matters not so much how we get there, but that we do.”

 

Running With Sissors

Shelle always like that book.... Running With Sissors. 

Dysfunctional Families. I hate to break it to you, but who the hell doesn't have a dysunctional family story. Some of us just have more such stories than do other people. 

Father Knows Best was the myth of the 50's. The 60's had Andy Griffith. I mean, who didn't want a wise and kind dad like Andy? And then came The Brady Bunch. The story of what constitutes a "normal" family has beed carefully crafted and sold to us through media consumption, educational materials, as well as observed Sunday behavior amongst the gathered community when the children in each family were groomed and well behaved. 

My father told me and George that we gave our kids too much. He complained that we never made them really work for something material that they wanted. I think he was right. I wonder if it would have been different if I had a husband who performed as a breadwinner, and I was the one at home. Yes, we could afford to have one parent at home, given the salary I was able to bring in. Back then, degrees mattered. To a large extent, they still do. 

But degrees are not a guarantee of success. What you make at a "job" is pretty much related to the skills you bring to the table. Entrapneurs are different... with great risk comes great reward. But don't expect someone else is going to finance your leap off a cliff.... you need alot of skin in the game if you want to win. At age 45, I saw the need for an advanced degree and returned to earn a MBA while working full time at a job that demanded more than 40 hours a week. The skill building pursuit never ends if you want to stay relevant. 

Shall I write about my alcoholic father and my bipolar mother? Shall I tell you the story of how I lost the love of my life due to him not being able to tolerate my mother's antics? Or the trauma he witnessed in me during alcohol related drama scenes? That's all the detail you're going to get.

Emily’s Brother

I listened to my late 20s/early 30’s physical therapist tell me about her brother, who is severely autistic and cared for by the parents. She is the only sibling. And will not take on that responsibility. To do so is a full time job that requires respite care for you to restore your sanity. She is married and wants to have a family… the brother doesn’t tolerate babies or children… they cry or whine and that triggers him and he “goes off”. And he’s not a full grown man. Her mother can pinpoint the day he became autistic. This is a crime against humanity.
