"God Spelled Backward is DOG"
'Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!'
My father yelled at me. 'Can't you do
anything right?' Those words hurt worse
than blows. I turned my head toward the
elderly man in the seat beside me, daring
me to challenge him. A lump rose in my
throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn't
prepared for another battle.
'I saw the car, Dad. Please don't yell at
me when I'm driving..' My voice was
measured and steady, sounding far
calmer than I really felt.
Dad glared at me, then turned away and
settled back. At home I left Dad in front
of the television and went outside to collect
my thoughts. Dark, heavy clouds hung in the
air with a promise of rain. The rumble of
distant thunder seemed to echo
my inner turmoil.
What could I do about him?
Dad had been a lumberjack in Washington
and Oregon . He had enjoyed being outdoors
and had reveled in pitting his strength against
the forces of nature. He had entered grueling
lumberjack competitions, and had placed often.
The shelves in his house were filled with trophies
that attested to his prowess.
The years marched on relentlessly. The first
time he couldn't lift a heavy log, he joked about
it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone,
straining to lift it. He became irritable whenever
anyone teased him about his advancing age, or
when he couldn't do something he had done as a
younger man.
Four days after his sixty-seventh birthday,
he had a heart attack. An ambulance sped
him to the hospital while a paramedic administered
CPR to keep blood and oxygen flowing. At the
hospital, Dad was rushed into an operating room.
He was lucky; he survived.
But something inside Dad died. His zest for life
was gone. He obstinately refused to follow doctor's
orders. Suggestions and offers of help were turned
aside with sarcasm and insults. The number
of visitors thinned, then finally stopped
altogether. Dad was left alone.
My husband, Dick, and I asked Dad to come
live with us on our small farm. We hoped the
fresh air and rustic atmosphere would help him
adjust. Within a week after he moved in,
I regretted the invitation. It seemed nothing
was satisfactory He criticized everything I did.
I became frustrated and moody. Soon I was
taking my pent-up anger out on Dick. We began
to bicker and argue. Alarmed, Dick sought
out our pastor and explained the situation.
The clergyman set up weekly counseling
appointments for us. At the close of each
session he prayed, asking God to soothe
Dad's troubled mind. But the months wore
on and God was silent. Something had to
be done and it was up to me to do it.
The next day I sat down with the phone
book and methodically called each of the
mental health clinics listed in the Yellow Pages.
I explained my problem to each of the sympathetic
voices that answered.. In vain. Just when I was
giving up hope, one of the voices suddenly
exclaimed, 'I just read something that might
help you! Let me go get the article..' I listened
as she read. The article described a remarkable
study done at a nursing home. All of the patients
were under treatment for chronic depression.
Yet their attitudes had improved dramatically
when they were given responsibility for a dog.
I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. After I filled out a questionnaire, a uniformed officer led me to the kennels.. The odor of disinfectant stung my nostrils as I moved down the row of pens. Each contained five to seven dogs Long-haired dogs, curly-haired dogs, black dogs, spotted dogs all jumped up, trying to reach me. I studied each one but rejected one after the other for various reasons, too big, too small, too much hair. As I neared the last pen a dog in the shadows of the far corner struggled to his feet, walked to the front of the run and sat down. It was a pointer, one of the dog world's aristocrats. But this was a caricature of the breed. Years had etched his face and muzzle with shades of gray. His hipbones jutted out in lopsided triangles. But it was his eyes that caught and held my attention. Calm and clear, they beheld me unwaveringly.
I pointed to the dog. 'Can you tell me about him?' The officer looked, then shook his head in puzzlement.
'He's a funny one. Appeared out of nowhere and sat in front of the gate. We brought him in, figuring someone would be right down to claim him, that was two weeks ago and we've heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow..' He gestured helplessly.
As the words sank in I turned to the man in horror. 'You mean you're going to kill him?'
'Ma'am,' he said gently, 'that's our policy. We don't have room for every unclaimed dog.'
I looked at the pointer again. The calm brown eyes awaited my decision. 'I'll take him,' I said.
I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. When I reached the house I honked the horn twice. I was helping my prize out of the car when Dad shuffled onto the front porch.
'Ta-da! Look what I got for you, Dad!' I said excitedly.
Dad looked, then wrinkled his face in disgust. 'If I had wanted a dog I would have gotten one. And I would have picked out a better specimen than that bag of bones. Keep it! I don't want it' Dad waved his arm scornfully and turned back toward the house.
Anger rose inside me. It squeezed together my throat muscles and pounded into my temples..
'You'd better get used to him, Dad. He's staying!' Dad ignored me. 'Did you hear me, Dad?' I screamed. At those words Dad whirled angrily, his hands clenched at his sides, his eyes narrowed and blazing with hate..
We stood glaring at each other like duelists, when suddenly the pointer pulled free from my grasp. He wobbled toward my dad and sat down in front of him. Then slowly, carefully, he raised his paw.
Dad's lower jaw trembled as he stared at the uplifted paw. Confusion replaced the anger in his eyes. The pointer waited patiently. Then Dad was on his knees hugging the animal.
It was the beginning of a warm and intimate friendship. Dad named the pointer Cheyenne . Together he and Cheyenne explored the community. They spent long hours walking down dusty lanes. They spent reflective moments on the banks of streams, angling for tasty trout. They even started to attend Sunday services together, Dad sitting in a pew and Cheyenne lying quietly at his feet.
Dad and Cheyenne were inseparable throughout the next three years. Dad's bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne made many friends. Then late one night I was startled to feel Cheyenne 's cold nose burrowing through our bed covers. He had never before come into our bedroom at night. I woke Dick, put on my robe and ran into my father's room. Dad lay in his bed, his face serene. But his spirit had left quietly sometime during the night.
Two days later my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad's bed. I wrapped his still form in the rag rug he had slept on. As Dick and I buried him near a favorite fishing hole, I silently thanked the dog for the help he had given me in restoring Dad's peace of mind.
The morning of Dad's funeral dawned overcast and dreary. This day looks like the way I feel, I thought, as I walked down the aisle to the pews reserved for family. I was surprised to see the many friends Dad and Cheyenne had made filling the church. The pastor began his eulogy. It was a tribute to both Dad and the dog who had changed his life. And then the pastor turned to Hebrews 13:2. 'Be not forgetful to entertain strangers.'
'I've often thanked God for sending that angel,' he said.
For me, the past dropped into place, completing a puzzle that I had not seen before: the sympathetic voice that had just read the right article.
Cheyenne's unexpected appearance at the animal shelter. . .his calm acceptance and complete devotion to my father. . and the proximity of their deaths. And suddenly I understood. I knew that God had answered my prayers after all.Life is too short for drama & petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly.
Live While You Are Alive.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

But do share this with someone. Lost time can never be found

Yeah! What a Thursday and Friday !

I got my mail Thursday evening and there is an eviction Notice from TX !!![ Dated The 7th of Sept. 2010] I was suppose to be out by Sept. 18, 2010 ! They have TX Laws listed at bottom, for me here in MO?  Here it is October 1st, 2010 that I am reading their letter! 

Gads!  I leave  a phone message for my son and even E-Mail him.

Then I call the Parks new owners and leave a message. Then I find a info e-mail connection and write them an E-mail. !!!!!!!!  Auto reply:They say they will return my call or answer e-mail at their office hours 9:00AM the next day!

I also e-mail and ask for some good prayers from A FRIEND. He said to be sure to go to my bank to see if check was cashed. It was! The Banker was even on the phone trying to contact new owners but no answer! She was even hunting them down in TX also! Could not find them! Thank You for going to all that trouble!

Suddenly TX e-mails me and gives me an on line account and says I owe nothing and the late fees were dropped! That they had cashed the check and even the new one already, for this month:) Ah see, the checks do get to them on time! 

[ I would be careful about paying rent on line, no paper trail for bank to check on cashed checks! Power goes out a lot here and bad ice storms have shut power off two weeks at a time! Power Surges have taken out a lot of my electrical items. New washer and dryer, Micro wave and seems to have damaged my Computer ? So not so reliable! Ground Mail would still be a safer way to go? Even if they lost millions, over E-Mails ]
My Friend just called to check in ! He said he was not going to let anyone hurt his sister:) Thank You for your prayers and clear thoughts!
Wow, what a night and morning! lol


  My son stopped by  with drinking water for me. We have bad water here! The filter system does not help with taste or choline?

He was in shock also of all this News, as he had me go over the events step by step! He said I handled that well and fast!]

Ahhhh He had not checked mail for over a week! He did not get the cell phone messages!


My Friend said..... think ahead.

Gads! What a Thursday!

First your Social Security is frozen so no cost of living raises any more. Yes, they have helped them selves to the peoples money, so many times! To cover their Government spending costs or their own personal life styles? There is very little left! 

When did this start? Prez Regan was the first to dip his sticky hand, into the peoples retirement fund , that they had saved out of their salarys.
http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/04/how-ronald-reagan-and-alan-greenspan-pulled-off-the-greatest-fraud-ever-perpetrated-against-the-american-people/ The  two Prez Bushes followed suit and stole from the cookie jar! Now some of both Parties wants it All, or to Cut it back from the people even more!!!!!! Talk about crooks!

What happens to the elderly now? They get to move in with their jobless and homeless children or relatives tent city! Maybe we can all camp out on the White House's Lawn. As that is where all our money went!


We Must Stop the Cabal's Looting of Social Security Funds
      Since the Johnson administration, the cabal that came into power through the coup d'etat of the Kennedy assassination has been looting Social Security funds and using them to pay for their illegal imperialistic operations.
      Cabal puppet politicians never mention that the Social Security system has been compiling a huge surplus since it was created. Why? Because they've been illegally looting that surplus for years to hide the real size of the current federal budget deficit, allowing them to spend more and justify tax cuts for the wealthy. US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) data show that while government’s reported deficit averaged about $300 billion a year from 2002 to 2006, the real current deficit was actually more than 50 per cent larger. The government just "steals" about $160-$200 billion from the Social Security Trust Fund every year--under the table. In 2007, the real deficit was $449 billion according to the OMB. However, the "official" deficit widely reported was only $257 billion, because it's government policy to add the borrowed Social Security Trust Fund surplus ($192 billion in 2007) to revenues before calculating the "official" deficit.
      The cabal wants to pillage social security because it's where a big pile of money is--in the TRILLIONS!
     Beginning in earnest with Ronnie Reagan and continuing on through Bush II--and now Obama--the cabal has looted the Social Security surplus fund by spending the money on Iran/Contra gun-running and Iraq and Afghanistan war-profiteering on weaponry manufactured by their defense industry cronies!
      Since the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson, the government has illegally used money from the Social Security trust fund to support military spending and bailing out corrupt banks. Americans have been sold the lie that the Social Security funds are merely a part of the federal government's revenue. In actuality the Social Security trust fund was set up as a separate program, completely detached from the federal government's revenue stream or outlay.

Now, my rent has gone up! Car insurance is even more with my being older! I live in a rural area and need a car! Phone went up! Electric bill went up! LOL Gads!  So for my Food and Taxes, plus Winter fuel for heat ? I have a budget left of $145.00 Hummmmm I think it will be a cold winter or a hungry one or Both!
