You can now call me the bionic single Dom

If anyone is interested, I found this book to be helpful when dealing with a health crisis: Peace, Love & Healing, Bodymind Communication & the Path to Self Healing: An Exploration by Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.

Not that I'm saying one can self heal but a good frame of mind can't hurt in most cases. I think most people around here have that.

I agree it is a very good book
 
a couple three things going on with me
1) the VA is saying my urine came back positive
but the culture came back negative ... in spit of my experence over
the last ... what ... since 1992 ... and my training in alternatives like herbs...
I am lost... I have no idea what to even ask about ... I have no symtoms of prostrate isse and my psa is way low ...

2) I have been commuicating with a young lady who thinks (?) she is a submissive and we are to meet soon ... yup...here goes that pattern again

3) I am read a Michael Crighton (sp) and it has a plot where a woman uses her femine self to get ahead and to give it ... it has triggered a lot of emotions about women and how they use men and get all that braod shoulder shit from other guys etc. It has reminded me of a number of things that have happened to me including happened to me on here ... it has told me I have some issues with women that I not only have not dealt with but was not even awear of ...

Where the hell's the coffee?
 
Glad you agree about the book Richard.

Sounds like you are doing some self discovery that may help you in the future. I hope things go well with your health and you meeting.

well dang sweetie. guess I'll make a pot to share ;)

your observations and comments have got me remenicing about relationships myself this morning (and adding. U shouldn't do that. U know how dangerous I can be when I dust off my brain and install it ;-)

seriously tho....

& perhaps sadly also....
missed opportunities
or fate not meant to be...
or maybe it was something else that was in store for me....
made a turning point in life go in another direction...

and oh Lord, but I am rambling on this morning *smile* I need me some of that coffee methinks :rose:

Popping in to update as promised :)

We saw the cardiologist on Wednesday and were told that Master has one small artery completely blocked and another larger one 70-80% blocked. They want to put a stent in that one, because if they leave it and it blocks completely He could have a very bad heart attack. This will be happening in the next 2-3 weeks, with 1-2 days in hospital. They want to leave a bypass as a last resort considering all His other health problems.

He's now taking low dose aspirin and another blood thinner called Plavix. He'll need to take the Plavix for a few months afterwards and may be able to eventually stop it, but the aspirin will be a permanent part of the meds from now on. I worry, because my dad was on Warfarin and it either directly or indirectly caused the brain bleed which led to his death. However it's a catch 22 situation :rolleyes:

Bandit, as always. my best healing thoughts and prayers to both you and your Master. {hugs}
 
If i have failed to respond to anyone I apologize
nudge me

Recently I have meet f2f with someone from here
and interesting afternoon

Yesterday I had a 4 hour coffee "first date" with someone
I meet couple of years ago and see often at the co-op

Today I had planed to stay in and rest
however I have the emergency key for my recovery group and the meeting chair was keyless ... so i went and unlocked the door and planed to stay for the meeting ... was ina conversation with him when one of the women came in and jumped into the conversation... than she stopped to "apologize" after the meeting and started all over again ...

shaking head... I am having lesss than positve thoughts about women and not feeling good about me ...
 
Well bro, when there, its time to pull up by the boot straps, but if you find they are already in place, then perhaps continuing a conversation after being bent over your knee for a 1/2 hour my shed a new perspective on just how things are. If not at least you will get a smile out of it. ;)

Pardon the french but your not that fucked up. You have your own way, and you have a measure of common sense, get the two together and rest in the confidence thereof.

Its good to see you getting out and meeting with some ladies in RL.

I hope your health issues get resolved soon be well.

I wanted to place that female over my knee and give a good ass whiping
but alas wrong time/place and group of people :rolleyes:

Thank you for being here and sharing RJ.

I am glad I am getting out. Seems ot be doing me some good. However it also sets me up for negative shit I wish to avoid.

Hey Richard,

How did the ceremonies go and such you mentioned?

I am told I did a good job :)

There were about 50 peopple at the first event
It was outside
and someone handed me a printed prayer
and I read it

The seond one was accross the street at and inside the Elks Club
30-40 minutes later .... about 50 people again ... some of the same people ...
some different ... I had opening and closing prayer ... we had a speaker ...
and than gave awards to 6 - 5th graders for essays they wrote.

There were a couple or three chaplains from service organzations like VFW, Battle of the Bulge etc. I am not sure how they felt about me being asked instead of them.
 
Well that is great. Sounds like it went over good.

I am full blown into finals week, sinking under alot of deadlines for work. Pretty much the usual stuff.

My mom has finally recovered her health enough to try it on her own for a while. She bought a small house up by a like and she is going to enjoy a few years for herself. I am helping her get packed up and will be driving the truck(10 hour trip 1 way).

Heard anything from Kat? Last I knew she was playing hooky and brought by some brownies.

Take care I will see you again soon.

kat went to clinic yesterday
got some kind of shoot that helps her build blood cells
She feels like shit today

They are telling her she needs transplant
but just to look for a donor will cost $24,000 not covered by insurance

That is so sad, that the almighty dollar comes before someone's health and quality of life :( Master depends on the public health system here, in fact we both do, because we have no insurance and cannot afford any, though I have life insurance (in fact I am worth three times more dead than alive :rolleyes: )

Please pass on my best wishes to her, and hope she feels a bit better soon :rose:
 
Today has been filling me up with frustration
however it is lady_kat that is really down in the dumps

She has been a good friend
and I wish we were not a thousand miles apart

she is dealing with a lot of fear and depression

Hugs for lady Kat. Sends prayers and wishes for inner peace.

I would hug you too Richard but you might pinch my butt with everyone watching! :p

Seriously though hope you find a way to let the fustration go as water flows under a bridge. When I get fustrated I head out for a walkabout. I look at things and remind myself that I am not in control of so many things. I don't control the clouds, I don't control that tree growing or the grass or snow. Makes me realize in a simple way that there are other things at work in this world I live in. Helps to find perspective for me and know my place in the here and now. Can't change a single hair on my head with worry, fustration or anger. You know this too.

Peace bro.
