Things are going o.k. and we are all fine, I can't really go into it all here as some stuff just isn't for anyone in the world to see or know, so if you KNOW me and have my phone number, why not try giving me a bell and I am more than happy to reveal all the juicy detail. BTW my landline is what I mean as my mobiles being stupid and not telling me until after a call has come through. The weathers turned colder, the pets are fine, and so is Mom. As for hubby he is yet another story, the wonderful NHS is still screwing him around in regards to his arm, which he still cannot use, and it is still wasting away to nothing...right now it looks like a young boys arm...they have his on some wonderful and very addictive meds, which help with his pain, but in reading the label on them I have discovered coming off them wont be as simple or as nice.  They are know to give people with previous head injuries...massive seizures.... WAIT, did I just read that correctly...didn't his GP ASK him first about any previous head injury? Nope. My husband had a major motorcycle wreck, causing a massive swelling on his brain for 4 days, he has lasting nerve damage from it to this day...so I am guessing coming off these pills will be a risk to him. ALSO, if that isn't enough these pills are classed in the same family as HEROIN, thats right folks and the come down off these pills are know to produce the same withdrawls. Then why you may ask is the GP handing these out without first checking his medical history, making sure he is a suited canidate to use such a scary drug...because its cheaper is yer answer. Hubby says tho they help with the pain, the are making him super hyped up, followed by an extreme crash..which tends to be him in bed for days sleeping...they have had him on these pills long enough, they need to get thier act together and book him a surgery...but were on one of them famouse waiting lists and wont be seen until OCT6th, at which time a consultant will only decide whats the course of action to take, not actually do it. I foresee another waiting list followed by tons of waiting around before he is ever actually on the road to recovery. Me...well I am o.k. gained some weight which I am hopeful to lose, but then the cold is setting in which tends to make weight loss for me darned near the impossible task, I lose weight in warm climates as easy as pie....but then here in my part of the UK we never actually had a true summer or real heat, making the loss of any pounds minimal. Not much else to reall discuss on here, were just slogin along one day at a time, each day has become the same dull day we had previous to it...I do tons of property searches for when we are actually out of here.I tend my Farm on FarmTown lots, as well as taking care of mom and nick and the Dogs...pluss JoJo..he is quite easy to tend tho.Anyways Love and Light to all, but before I go I want to mention we should keep our sister Amanda in our prayers as her family goes through a tough patch, refer to her blog as I'm not sure what she is and isnt saying to folks. I would also like to extend my hugs to Jan , as I see she is once again blessed with her wonderful son at home.(BTW thats said in a sarcastic tone)But the hug is genuine.I also wanted to say if you havnt already go check out Jack Ganon on Facebook, he is doing some wonderful work on refurbing his home these days.To any I may have missed out in here, Love and hugs to you as well...I'm simply out of time and on my way to go tend some needy pooches.

The offer we have accepted, though much lower than we would have ever liked or dreamed, in the long run allows for so much more to happen it is worth the drop in price.Time to get busy packing, sorting and readying ourselves for the move.

Well still not one soul through the door to see this house, I am quite sure if they would at least step foot in the place it would raise thier interest.We have a final 10 day listing on Ebay then thats it....we go to plan B, which I cant make public for privacy purposes.I have to fast on Tuesday night after 9pm gmt as wednesday morning they test my blood sugar levels, this is a retest as my last ones came back with raised levels.This means we could be pre diabetic or even diabetic, deppending on what the results show.Anyway this is just a very brief update so folks know im alive still hehehe.

your never going to believe this, I just spent 30 mins typing this thing and with a push of one button it went *poof* eeek so im only giving the low down this time as Im not up to typing all that again.
Hubby is fine , Mom is Fine, I am Fine....but bored to tears. Doggies r good cept Ben seems to be going deaf in his old age, house isnt sold but due to auction if nothing by june first...and seriously there is nothing else going on...no visitors nor viewers, no phone calls cept debt collectors, nothing at all is happening or going on...everyone awaits the next chapter thats it thats all there is for us right now, day after day after day of waiting for the next chapter....sorry folks its true. I live in the middle of no where cept for daily updates on the lambs , fledglings or sky report theres nothing to honestly say. I do Love you guys so please take care of yerselves. BLU

Did you sell your soul for games?

Answer this question honestly – do you read the small print when you buy games on the internet?

High Street retailing giant GameStation decided to put this to the test and inserted a new clause into their terms and conditions earlier this month that granted them legal rights to the immortal souls of thousands of their online customers. Here, in darkest legalese, is how they got away with such a heinous act:

"By placing an order via this Web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamestation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions."

GameStation’s fiendish clause specified that they might serve such notice in “six foot-high letters of fire” too, but also offered customers an option to opt out, rewarding them with a £5 money-off voucher if they did so.

Alas, hardly anyone noticed the clause, let alone the substantial bonus for spotting the gag. More to the point, the fact that it passed more or less unnoticed raises an important issue – too few people actually read the small print when they make online purchases.

According to GameStation, around 7,500 customers carelessly signed their souls away on the day. Were you one of them...?

Well tons has been happening, yet not much at all going on...make sense? First of all My eldest had her 22nd birthday on the 27th, we called and wished her a happy birthday.She says she is fine, though Im sure most kids say that so the parents quit being so nosey. We went to begin our research into the Visa process for going to the USA, only to find out the is no visa that would cover Mother in Law...needless to say Im quite miffed over this point being the American in the family. She would either have to A.) get a job....ummm sure at age 74 with dementia related problems, don't think so. B.)Buy a buisness with an investment of at least $500,000 and hire up to 4 Americans.....sorry folks this just isn't possible either. or finally C.) Stay in the U.K. for the 3 years it took hubby to fully emigrate, then he could sponsor her to come over as a blood relative....hmmm not gonna leave her on her own for 3 years thats for bloody sure! Wow just had a Jan moment there, sorry bout the language. So mom has to re-think where it is she wants to live as for now the USA is off the table, unless by some miracle we find someone with power or clout to get mom in, LOL . She is very bummed out about this, as it was her choice to move there, based on her fond memories of North America in her past.Well anyways what else has been going on....oh yeah Hubby...he has been very ill lately , at first I thought a simple chest cold, which then turned into a full on Lung infection..the right meds put him back on track, but the down time to his system has opened a window for something more sinister to poke it's evil head out.Before I go on keep in mind, for every STONE you get 14 POUNDS, hubby was originally 11 stone, he is now bordering on 7 stone....I cry at times to see his very skeleton looking frame, as I am so worried. He went into the GP and they have done several bloods to try to get to the bottom of it, they say they are guessing it's one of 2 things....Cancer or a serious Virus that's been quietly going around....how come no one told the British public about a deadly virus going around? And what the heck is it called? He goes in on Monday for scans and ultra sounds to try to see what they can discover that way.Not much else happening here, still awaiting the lovely person who will buy this beautiful home and set us off on the next leg of our journey in life. Till next time folks..Love and Light!

The weather is a bit milder durring the day now, but still chilled at night. We finally got our heater working, and so things are thawing out a bit. Hubby still has signs of something wrong with him, with his amount of weight loss I am of course fearing the worst, as the antibiotics havnt touched his chest problems. My uncle in Nevada dies about 3 weeks ago, but due to my rare contact with Nevada I only just found out lastnight...my heart and prayers go out to Auntie Kay. My oldest daughter has had one thing after another cross her path this year, now she is being told she has abnormal cells in her cervix...and that they found HPV.....well in her 20's my birth mom had cervical cancer that was so bad it almost took her fro us all, at 21 I had these "pre cancer cells" as they called it to me back then, I underwent a lazer surgery which cleared that up for me, so I am a bit worried for my daughter till she gets the all clear. I will post a bit of what I have found concerning this subject.Love and hugs to all Ill post later on when I feel up to it.

What are abnormal cervical cells?

 

These are cells from the lining of the cervix that look abnormal when a scientist examines a Pap smear (also called "Pap test") under a microscope. While most Pap smears contain only normal cells, some Pap smears show mild cell changes, others show more significant changes.

 

HPV is a common virus that can cause cervical cancer, abnormal cervical cells and other consequences. Learn more about these conditions in the other sections of this site, and talk to your healthcare professional for more information.

HPV explained

 

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a common virus that affects both females and males. There are more than 100 types of the virus. In fact, certain types of HPV cause common warts on the hands and feet.  Most types of HPV are harmless, do not cause any symptoms, and go away on their own.

 

About 40 types of HPV are known as genital HPV as they affect the genital area. More than 50% of people (males and females) will be infected with at least one type of genital HPV at some time.

 

Genital HPV types may be "high-risk" types (such as HPV Types 16 and 1 that can cause cervical pre-cancer and cancer, or "low-risk" types (such as HPV Types 6 and 11) that can cause genital warts and usually benign (abnormal but non-cancerous) changes in the cervix. Both the "high-risk" and "low-risk" types of HPV can cause abnormal Pap smears.

 

Anyone who has any kind of sexual activity involving genital contact could get genital HPV. That means it's possible to get the virus without having intercourse. And, because many people who have HPV may not show any signs or symptoms, they can transmit the virus without even knowing it. A person can be infected with more than one type of HPV.

 

HPV is highly contagious. It is estimated that many people get their first type of HPV infection within their first few years of becoming sexually active.

 

Genital HPV infection is not something to feel embarrassed or ashamed about. It is very common and most often goes away without any ill effects.  It could almost be considered a normal part of being a healthy sexually active woman.

What causes cervical cancer and abnormal cervical cells?

 

Cervical cancer is caused by infection with certain types of a common virus, called human papillomavirus, or HPV.  While other factors such as the oral contraceptive pill, smoking, a woman's immune system and the presence of other infections also seem to play a part, a woman has to have been infected with certain 'high-risk' HPV types before cervical cancer can develop.  High risk types 16 & 18 are responsible for ~70% of all cervical cancers.

 

Abnormal cervical cells are also caused by HPV infection, and these may be detected when a woman has a routine Pap smear.

So here is the run down for my wonderful weekend.

Friday our heating system breaks down, just in time for all the offices to be closed for the weekend, couldn't of chose to break down earlier in the day or we coulda had it repaired.

Saturday now the house is 100% frozen arctic, you can see your breath in most every room, my scheduled bath is supposed to be warm due to an electric emersion tank....umm nope thats right I took an ice cube bath.....lovely.

Sunday Ben is acting sick, vomiting all over the place and barely standing up...causing mom to be of course very upset, everytime we put him out to toilet he goes to the far corner of the paddock and lay down on wet icey ground, on top of this horrible turn of events its of course still a freezer in the house, and the final cherry is...my computer is 100% knacked! Hubby is trying to get my new one up to speed in the mean time im on his.

Tomorrow is monday....we await a pump sent via emergency rapid post to fix the heating, then hubby being bothered to put it in....we need to schedule a vet visit for Ben, and hopefully by tomorrow the version of linux hubby plans to use on my new system will be installed, says 7hours to go, though it started at 100hours about 2 hours ago.We are trying to free ourselves from the clutches of microsoft and he is getting me an OS called Ubuntu, its supposed to be user friendly, so we shall see.I know it wont work with everything I am used to having, but Ill have to teach myself the alternatives to my microsoft friendly items so I can rid myself of the hell thats known as windows.

Well I shall post again another time hopefully soon to update on all this . Till then Love and Light BLU

Well folks , here we go...my attempts to post something, LOL ! Sorry I been away, and sadly I won't be posting much still. I will do my best to post at least once in a month, but to be honest with you, until this property is sold and we move, my self motivation is completely sapped. I try to do things I love and enjoy, and just DONT have it in me to do them lately. This house is cold, the room I type to you from has NO HEATING so my fingers freeze, I am glad your allthere for me, and no your not forgotten, Im simply going through lots in many aspects of my life, and by the time I am finally free to be on here, Ive simply lost the desire to do anything other than read and veg.I do check my emails, I do look at all anyone writes me....and for the most part I do respond.I Love ya all and thank you for bearing with my funk.
