why?
why do i blog... its cool when you have a meaning in life to blog... or even cool when people actually read your blogs... however i don't think i have much of either in my life at this time.. there is this guy David jay.. he has an AWESOME blog.. its like a online journal with different little things from his everyday life.. I can do that but it would just be the same thing every so many days.. I went to the mall today.. at the yearbook office again, had the boys again tonight.. it would just be the same things over and over and over again and I am not a fan of that, and would not want to bore you. Andres blog is cool because he can show his work to people.(check his out avcphoto@blogspot.com) I just have my silly thoughts.. that are only read by me.. and once and a blue moon some others... maybe soon ill have more exciting things to write..

my Computer..
I love my computer.. almost too much, i spend a lot of time on it.. and learn a lot from it.. when i don't know what something is i Google it, when i want to buy something i go online, when i need directions i use my computer to help me do so, when i have nothing to do i chat with friends on my computer.. there are endless possibilities on a computer! but just recently i came to my bed room and, found what might have been the worst day of my life.. a lot of my keys where pulled off my keyboard.. my F1 F2 F3 my `and ~ key is missing my 1 and ! key is pulled off and my Function key GONE!!!!!!! my escape key is hanging on by the thread! so i am sad my little 12 inch G 4 is hurting! :( I need to her in... poor thing. So if i don't sound too excited its not that I'm not.. its just that my (!) key is broken.
not just ANOTHER job
I have recently "retired" from my job, and promised myself that i would have another job by the fall! well here i am weeks from fall and still have no clue what i want to be doing with my life! My resume says I can do a lot of things, I can answer phones, and file, i can keep track of a budget, and organize, keep people busy, and teach people a skill, I know photo skills and even how to work a PC and a MAC. but none of that defines who i am! Heck a monkey can answer a phone! What defines me and keeps me going is service, service to others, I love to help those who need help, i love loving the unloved these are things i can do, and i feel i do them well, so in looking for a JOB these are the things i look for. The best job in the world for me would be loving orphans, or helping a disabled person with everyday choirs, or simply just helping! I feel that LOVE can change the world, and all you need is love ;) But its so true.. a little love goes such a long way. I wish that my job could be kiki director of love and service.. you are having a bad day... go see kiki, you have tennis after work and you forgot your tennis shoes at your house.. call kiki.. shell go get them. no paper work, no boss, just me and the love God gave me working together to make the world a brighter place. Wouldn't that be nice
FUN FUN FUN!
The summer is sadly coming to an end.. I have been sad to see if go so fast.. So this past weekend i spent it with friends and family and my favorite place in the world KNOBLES family fun and amusement! it was a great time as always complete with a roller coasters, baked potato, and cotton candy

teeth, health care, and craigslist!
So the past few days i have been out of service.. because of pain... BAD BAD pain in my mouth.. i have not been able to do much.. but cry and wine, and take pain killers, and place ice packs on my face!
Because of my "early retirement".. I am no longer covered with any type of health insurance.. and its a very scary thing to think about when living in this country! I recently have some dental work done for on my tooth.. (when covered by insurance) It was a root canal.. The whole process took 4 actual appointments, ( which i never went to the 4th one) but in the end it coast over a thousand dollars for ONE root canal. and i did not even get the crown on it.. because that was when i was dropped from my insurance but when i called the dentist office.. they told me with out insurance it would coast me another thousand dollars! where am i going to get that!? i just retired! oh my...
So back to my toothache.. I somehow cracked two teeth, and have hardly any money and a low income from babysitting.. ( but a great tan!) so out of being very desperate I was up to trying anything to take care of my tooth, I even thought about drilling it out myself.. but while browsing on my favorite website (craigslist) I came across the wanted section.. and saw some of the things people wanted! it was crazy one guy wanted a tool shed, another a cell phone, and a fish tank, another guy wanted a parrot, and some one else wanted cash! so i thought i wanted a dentist! so i thought why not! and i posted a wanted add it went like this!
I need a dentist! I have had a toothache for days now, I recently graduated college and do not have heath insurance, and can not afford to pay for it out of pocket. Does anyone know of a dentist in the Rockland area who works on the "sliding scale" or any dentist that wants to just simply help! this is a low cry for help but not sure what else to do, and i would love to get a full nights sleep with out waking up to rinse with salt water or take pain medication!
hope someone can help! thanks!
not an hour later i get an email from a girl telling me about a dentist in highland falls. she tells me he is an older man who left his practice and just does dentistry on the side to help people out. so i give him a call. HE the dentist answers the phone, and tells me, I am a sucker for people who don't have much come in at 3:30. telling the story to the people i live with, they decide i cant go alone just in case this dude is some freak, once getting there this little old man with white hair comes out and says to Karen and the kids you stay here she will be back.. maybe.. so i go into the little room with very dated equipment share my story with the older man who wanted to know so much about me and my life. and who also told me my last name in German meant to eat! the guy hooked me up, he charged me 30 bucks and got me meds that would take care of the pain and infection in my teeth! I went back to see him again today and he told me he can help me out quite a bit. and he can do all the work, and i can pay him little by little! he is also going to do a root canal for 80 dollars which is just the COST of the supplies! WHAT? my other Doctor charged me and my insurance thousands of dollars for the SAME thing! I am so excited and thankful that i found this guy.. and wish there were doctors out there like him!
for i believe that most doctors are just out to make money there are FOR profit people and they know that Americans NEED to get fixed so they can TONS of money for there procedures and get it.. because they know they can.. why not this is the richest country in the world! a few years back i went to Ecuador and actually went to the eye doctors while i was there, and i got a full eye exam and new frames and lenses! for get this 70 dollars! that is it.. and they were the expensive glasses! what is WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY! my last pair of glasses in the US would have coast me 400Dollars if i did not have insurance! What about people who have nothing are we just supposed to let them die, just wither away!? what is wrong with our country!? why cant our country follow in the other countries footsteps.. because doctors need to be so rich? because we have the BEST doctors? that's BS! our system is full of crap! what about universal health care?? where the health care is mandated by legislation and taxation it provides everyone with health insurance at a reasonable price.. Why does our country have to want to be bigger and better? why are they so stupid.; People are hurting.. people are dieing.. people can not afford the proper treatment! i could not imagine hurting (like i have with my tooth) all the time because i cant afford it..
our country needs to get its act together.. and i pray for the 47 million + people who are out there with out any insurance at all i am one of them now i have to stick with my peeps!
I am so thankful for my new dentist, and for craigslist, and the girl that took the time to help me out!

what a guy!
did you ever meet those people who are sick and give up there whole life? I once remember meeting a woman, who had a rash on her face dude to some illness and she went on disability because the rash made her itch! i remember thinking. this woman is letting her illness rule her life!
well here is another story! about 10 years ago a man i knew got diagnosed with an illness called lupus, and although it has limited him in the things he can do, he still has an incredible outlook on life then anyone i have ever met! This dude once an avid skier, snowboarder, golfer, baseball player,bowler and trampoline jumper has had all of that taken away from him little by little. When first diagnosed he still did the things he loved, quitting just baseball, because to pick up the bat and swing was hard for him, but as time went on, he slowly but surely gave up all the sports he once loved. skiing and snowboarding because of the cold weather and his lungs, and bowling because the guys on the team smoked and he could not take it, trampoline jumping because it got too hard for him to catch his breath, and his joints hurt him so much while doing it! Today once and a while he will go golfing but not with out his oxygen machine!
But the Man still gets up day in and day out to go to work, to bring home the bacon! He keeps going and finds excitement in other things these days such as working on his classic car, his dog, and a new found appreciation for his friends and family! Spending his every extra min with them and enjoying the company of them. He is sure not to miss little league games, or school plays and concerts he does not miss graduations,or birthday parties, he goes to parades, and fairs with the kids and family members and has dinner with friends once a week, along with a yearly vacation with the same friends! despite the fact that it tires him out and wears him down! this man would do anything for you, Give you the last bit of money in his wallet just so you are "ok" or help you reface a kitchen or fix up your house, he will give you the shirt off his back if you needed it!
the things that were once important to this man have become lasting memories but the things that are real in life such as friends and family is what keeps him going though all these hard times! He is a trooper.. laughing alot and making jokes in the mist of his suffering and hurting! even though you can tell he limited by his illness it does not stop the man from missing a moment! and I am proud to call this man my father! I love him with all my heart and pray that he is healed! he is a special man to me.. and i hope that my outlook on life is just half as good as his! :)
