yesterday it was spring. it came under the time of 'day savings time'. my chives are coming back after a long cold winter. the sky is blue today. the bald eagle flew over head this morning. he in magnetic directions. you could set a sundial by which direction he goes in.
this morning i took the trash down the hill, like every Saturday here.
talking trash with the trash collector is how things go. my dog jumps out and bothers everyone, good girl.
today there was an old chandelier hanging by the recycle area,looked like a used wall-mart fixture. i mentioned it to the man who collects the trash.
"we want this to look like a place we want people to feel good about sending money on taking their trash" said the man.
"oh, a capitalist" i said. now i don't mind capitalism. i am all for making money and business etc, i just don't go for the corruption.
he started on and on about communism and dictators. i didn't want to get into to much with him. i think he might be a limpballs follower by the sound of his speech. now i don't mind communism either. does this man think, limpballs makes 50 mil a year to spread hate and misinformed history? hell no, he just follows and likes being a ditto head.
back in the car, take the dog and buy a new cell. what the hell need one. damn verizon they got me with $100 credit on a new one. happy ring tones.
god bless american and people are people no matter their views. i can't agree and fight with them
like planting a virus in the borg colletive, a single line can change everything.
was that tweetdeck going off or the new ringtone?
spring is here

snow is melting
the snow is melting. it happens slow over a few days. the fact that i see things happen slowly means i am slowing down from city life. down state it is always run run run. here it is slower and more peaceful.
there has been fog outside for the last few days. fog is always a sign of good luck to me.
another sign of growth is that i am not feeling guilty because i have an illness. holy cow, i didn't ask for it. no one asks for it and those that do have an illness that wants them to be ill.
it feels good. seeing i am emotionally based this is progress.

just missing a big snow storm
the snow storm is just a few miles east of me. it is snowing but very lite. it is cold.
and so the word cold triggers how 2 people i know won't upgrade to an OS that can get videos. they both can afford it. no it's not free. they sit and wait for someone to wave the magic wand and give it to them.
that is annoying enough.
to top it off one acts like he knows everything about computers. come on honey your still running win.98. he is a rush limpballs fan. the anger of the followers of the cult is very apparent. anger follower anger. now this person, know it all of computers writes emails about how he hates all the new stuff he can't get.
cheap jerk.
to make it short i don't read his mail. delete delete. once i heard about people who keep the tribe from growing and becoming updated and strong. these people say all kinds of nasty untrue negative things about what ever they appear to be jealous of. like rush limpballs. it is the same personality. jealous of new growth and change, can't wait to put anything that is improving down.
these people can't stand to see people leave their reach of control.
no wonder i gave him the dump. what an albatross.
the other thinks if she keeps going on and on about how poor she is she too will get someone to feel sorry for her and send her a new computer. she has already killed computers because she can't work them. she has the money. both these people have the money. no different than the banks and insurance companies that are bleeding the country dry.
good leadership gets rid of these roots of corruption.
god bless america and may she over come these acts of selfishness.

after thought
my family has the right to their own unhappiness. who am i to stand between them and their own self inflected misery?
maybe i will send a say nothing card one buys and send it every few months.
maybe the way to world peace starts at home.
maybe i will send a say nothing card one buys and send it every few months.
maybe the way to world peace starts at home.
the family or what is left of it
yesterday they went into a panic because they can't get in touch with me. they have the new #. they have called it before. all of a sudden they can only use the old #. one family member lies and said she can't email because i write back nasty notes. she is the one who writes nasty emails so i had to block her, the kind of person who needs people to look bad around her so she can look good.
she wants to sell my aunt's house to get money and build a gated community there. like that will sell.
she needs to look holy.
the point is...these people don't even know me. i live far away and no one communicates.
they all drink very heavy. okay they go to work-some of them still can- they need to look good.
they can't have someone like me around who sees the sickness...years of headshrinkers.
it hurts. it hurts because i reached out and found a swarm of wasps...no pun intended...
there must be someone to grieve the fantasy family.
i would like to say they would just stop but what i think is every now and again they need someone to pick on.

what happened
back in the late 40's-70's many a parent who was educated and well read would bring their children to the psychiatrist. something was right with the kid. the other doctors sent them off to the headshrinker. the child was very smart. know knew back in those days how to call it. so they said as they looked at the well educated and well read parent who had the bucks for treatment, your kid is border line between genus and insanity.
many baby boomers grew up think this.
what happen?
many baby boomers grew up think this.
what happen?
the ex down the road
he has been what i thought was a friend for many years. since those tender teen years we have been friends. i moved here thinking i would make lots of friends and meet people through him. what i didn't know is he lives in his bedroom. he very rarely goes out. when he does he doesn't behave very well. i can understand the untreated forms of ocd. he has who he calls his best friend. her job is to keep all women away from him. she looks at him with moony eyes. at first i thought how good this was for him to have someone. he says he doesn't want her. he just brings her out when he feels women are too close. he seems to like women to stay for a week end and have sex and then leave. when they ask for more he brings out his pitbull. he acts like this isn't true.
i thought his friend would help me to meet people but instead all she said was why don't you move to vermount.
easy come easy go.
the problem?
he keeps sexaully harassing me. i have no interest. he doesn't think he does this but this is what harassers do. they act like it is the objects fault. i don't want to be his sex slave. men like that aren't good in bed. they think porn is a manual for sex. many a time i have thought maybe i should tell him to get a hobby. oh, porn isn't a hobby.
and so he still lives in his bedroom.
this is a warning to anyone who knows someone like this, get away and stay away.

spring is on the way
it may be snowing right now but it is getting warmer. it is a wet warm snow. i am even starting to think about growing veggies soon. i love to grow food. will plant some herbs and flowers too. i love the sunflowers of many colors peeking up from the spot in the hay.
the snow reminds of the beach snow at times. the hay is peeking up from the snow and it reminds me of beach grass.
i love the way the snow shines in the sun. it looks like season greetings cards.
yesterday the sun was out and my dog ran in the snow like she does every day. the sunlight hit the earth just right for me to see how happy she looked.
today i am baking bread.

they don't want to find a cure
Clinical trial is halted for lupus drug Riquent
Monitoring board: treatment 'futile'
By Terri Somers
Union-Tribune Staff Writer
2:00 a.m. February 13, 2009
Lupus patients across the nation were distraught by the news yesterday
that La Jolla Pharmaceutical stopped the clinical trial of its drug
Riquent.
An independent monitoring board looked at preliminary trial data and
determined that using the drug was "futile" in stopping deadly
symptoms of lupus, the company said in a one-paragraph news release.
"I'm sitting here at the computer reading the press release and I'm
absolutely devastated," said Kathleen Arntsen, a Vernon, N.Y., woman
with the auto-immune disease.
It is the fourth lupus drug failure in recent years, said Arntsen, a
national advocate for lupus patients. Drugs by Genelabs Technologies
and Cell Cept disappointed in late stage clinical trials for lupus, as
did Biogen Idec's cancer drug Rituxan.
There has not been a new drug approval for lupus in 50 years, leaving
doctors to fend off the disease with chemotherapy drugs and steroids.
"Every time a drug comes up, it just doesn't make it through," said
Arntsen, who runs the nonprofit Lupus Foundation of Mid and Northern
New York.
La Jolla Pharmaceutical executives have not seen the clinical trial
data, which had been blinded to them but not the monitoring panel, so
company officials had no comment yesterday.
After its own experts pore over the data, the company will have a
better idea of whether to scrap its Riquent program, or perhaps argue
that the monitoring board wasn't reading the data correctly.
The failure of the only drug in the 100-person company's pipeline sent
its shares plummeting $2.11, or 91 percent, to close at 20 cents
yesterday.
Five weeks ago, La Jolla Pharmaceutical announced that it licensed
some of the development rights for the drug to BioMarin Pharmaceutical
in a deal worth up to $289 million. Novato-based BioMarin, which has
$586 million in cash reserves, paid $15 million upfront, split evenly
into cash and an equity investment.
That company's shares were less devastated by the news yesterday,
dropping 3 percent to $18.90.
La Jolla Pharmaceutical has struggled for years to bring Riquent to
market as a treatment for episodes of kidney inflammation that result
from lupus, a disease that causes the body's immune system to run amok.
About half of the 1 million lupus patients in the United States and
Europe have these so-called renal flares. The body can handle only so
many flares before developing kidney disease, which can cause death.
This trial may have been Riquent's third strike.
The drug failed to prove effectiveness in a 1999 test, and in 2003 it
again failed to prove effective in delaying episodes of kidney
inflammation.
The company then asked the Food and Drug Administration to consider
approving Riquent for its ability to reduce certain antibodies that
play a role in the flares. That prompted the trial that came to an
abrupt halt yesterday.
In San Diego's patient advocacy group, as well as in New York, people
with lupus were excited that the tiny local company was tackling the
perplexing and complicated disease, said Hollaine Hopkins, direction
of the Lupus Foundation of Southern California.
"This is a real blow," Hopkins said.
Many patients referred to La Jolla Pharmaceutical as "the little
engine that could," because it survived the previous failures, only to
try again, Arntsen said.
Meanwhile, she and other patient advocates threw themselves into
lobbying and educational campaigns to explain that lupus is a
heterogenous disease: no two patients are alike, therefore no drug can
be expected to be a one-size-fits-all treatment, she said.
Until a new drug emerges, Arntsen, like many other lupus patients,
will continue to take drugs that shut down her immune system – drugs
that were approved for cancer or organ transplant patients – and make
all types of common infections a deadly threat.
"I'm supposed to be giving hope and encouragement to other people, but
my heart's been broken," Arntsen said.

the softer kinder revolution
somewhere back in my learning of history there is the french revolution. the people were very unhappy with the wealth and the not caring of the rich. there were many points i remember. my favorite is the story of the women who worked in the fish market. they were strong and worked with knives. they started a march to Versailles. they knocked the gate down and took the food from the kitchen. they must have been very hungry.
today the military would storm in with tear gas and guns and clubs. what do they care they wear armor.
many people are less and less happy with how things are run these days.
i am not happy but i don't think violence is the answer.

poor starving rich people
they say a snow storm is coming tomorrow. i'll bake some bread today. i'll bring in extra wood. a few months ago i didn't have the strength to lift very much wood. no new meds for lupus in 50 years. the ones they give me take a long time, almost over a year or two to kick in. even then it is just a percentage of what i was. they say there is a new drug for lupus in europe. this is where politics enters the world of health. politics thinks it is more important than peoples' lives.
but today i feel a little stronger. i don't huff and puff when i get the wood. so i am very thankful for that.
after the last few years of having this immune system disorder, i have come to see we don't have a health care system at all. putting everything on a computer doesn't make it a health care system like they want us to believe. it is a medical industry that makes money off of the sick, weak and dieing.
that is where the propaganda comes in. they have everyone fight over what needsto be done to 'fix' it.
the true is it is not broken. it does what it is meant to do harvest money from the people. they know everyone runs into the need if they life long enough so they just wait.
why would they want to cure an immune disorder? they would open the door to the immune system and heal and cure mnay other diseases which means no money for the poor starving trillionaires.
those people are rich enough to have all the cures.
when i was in and out of hospitals the people there said someone was taking the stem cells. they take them from all hospitals. it just proves it is not about what the propaganda says it is. who ever takes them uses them. it sounds like a james bond story line.
the day when people see it is the propaganda that is making them fight and they join together is when we might get some rights.
the mind set is strong. everyone is too full of emotion to see anything but what they believe. clever mind/emotion programers, they knew how to keep the people devived.
but today i feel a little stronger. i don't huff and puff when i get the wood. so i am very thankful for that.

mornings
mornings are my favorite part of the day. they are peaceful. when the sun comes up it is in nice pleasing colors. everything begins again. it adds to our cyclic type of thought. born and reborn begin all the time. maybe people who love afternoons feel that way about afternoons.
it is all view. it is all how we see things. it doesn't matter if it is wrong, right agreement with others it is just how we see. coffee is good. it pushes me forth.
we are all just fragments of each other. we find our group/our tribes/our families. we even reach out to other families/tribes/groups. we fill in the blanks of our minds and needs.
there are people who get us to move forth like coffee in the morning. there are those who help us slow down. there is a balance some where. some people are like traps keeping us from growing and seeing how much more there is to learn and find out about. others helps us by giving a hand to help us up and grow and heal.
sometimes people form groups of traps. they all stand together to keep the growing ones down. some are in the media acting in jealousy and a fear of change. they say there is no past only the bad (imagined enemy's) past where they have induced change. these people fail to see the need for growth. they don't get that like a piece of music life needs more than one note. it needs chords. it needs many instruments. it needs to compose.
those of us who value change and growth and new pieces of music think together. we need to continue to grow past the bumps in the road.
how i love science.

thinking
another morning drinking coffee, washed the floor just so i can think. recovery has been a long time. my body is getting stronger. i can do many more things during the day. there are still days i sleep all day but they are fewer and fewer.
i keep thinking of taking risks this morning. not jumping off the cliffs with man made wings but things like my thinking.
thinking leads to action. i remember laying in the hospital and thinking how i would heal and how i would start to get my life back. i couldn't get out of bed without the help of a nurse. many just yelled at me to get up. they thought it was all in my head. even if it was that is not they way for someone to get better. the doctors couldn't find anything wrong. all i need was a blood test. it should be standard for anyone. a test for lupus is fast and easy and would have saved years of more pain.
however this morning i am thinking of think of new thoughts.
spring is coming. a garden will be good. i love to cook. i love to grow things.
new thought is more. it takes me to new places for the mind to look into. the mindscape is fruitful. we all have our own private worlds in there.
and that comes to tolerance.
tolerance of each other's views and feelings.
today will be a good day.

cold wind
across the country and through the world the wind of poverty is blowing. i heard it is because the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. politics has a lot to do with this. every day jobs are lost and some people in office don't want to create more jobs. maybe they don't feel the pulse of the people or if they do they don't care and only care about what they want. they want to have it their way no matter who it hurts. they can't get humble and see they have made misjudgments.
the smell of the french revolution is in the air. people want to drag the rich out of their homes and behead them.
this was done in the past and i don't want to see blood in the streets. now a days they do it different. they now if people are beheaded or hung they become heroes so they don't do that anymore. they just let them live and if they are very rich they don't punish them very hard.

voters
of all the thousands of people in this town there are only 15 democrats. the other people see main st closing down and still think the failed economy system just needs more time to trickle down. they fail to see the failed economy has failed.
wind
this morning the wind is blowing hard. it is raining. the snow is melting. some of the firewood is still
stuck to the ground. the snow plow couldn't see the wood pile under the snow a week ago. it hit one of the wood piles.
the wind makes a loud sound this morning. i understand why they say it howls. i understand why they say it sounds like a freight train. the freight trains carry the 'containers' to all the big stores that put mom & pop out on the street. no matter how much the people gave then support it didn't work, they still ended up on the street. more jobs were lost fro the small mom & pop businesses.
main st is almost dead. closed store fronts with for sale or for rent signs sometimes both are in the windows. it is so empty.

the wind makes a loud sound this morning. i understand why they say it howls. i understand why they say it sounds like a freight train. the freight trains carry the 'containers' to all the big stores that put mom & pop out on the street. no matter how much the people gave then support it didn't work, they still ended up on the street. more jobs were lost fro the small mom & pop businesses.

winter leaving
the weather is getting warmer, up in the low 20's. soon there will be maple syrup running in the trees or should i say sap. we make it into maple syrup. the birds have been feed. this morning the snow looked pink/orange because of the colors in the sky from sun rise. it has a plastic look because it froze on the top layer.
how i wish the economy would heal. i could feel the sadness of it as i walked around the tiny mall we have here.

more farm life
this is a view from down the road. i live on top of the hill. i like here. it is very peaceful. everyone around me is a farmer. there are a few people who come and stay for the summer. they go away like the humming birds.
winter here is rough. the wind blows at night. it sounds like a train hitting the house. i can hear the highway when i go outside. the sound softens in the summer because i think maybe the leaves and plant life mutes it.
the air is clear and i can really like that after living on unhappy long island. i am healing.
