Good Morning,,,

Good Morning Everyone...
I am doing good, I am up n getting ready to head to church again today, 2nd service needs a couple extra beautiful faces today so that thought of Super Cute Koala LOL n I am happy to lend my smile, spirit, my craziness :-)

I hope You are doing well, if you are not feeling n need some uplifting chat or Prayers or some of my craziness comment here or inbox me, I will busy till about 12noon n again between 1-3pm (doing a checkout n prayer over some land we would like to build a building for Bayside West Bradenton Campus west campus on) but I will be checking in here n there...
Now I don't wish to make my non-religious feel weird, think of my feelings of late to be like since I had a long time of bad times that the Force/Karma(I believe I the Big Guy n Son n their Spirit) has giving a relief from alot of my pains... I never want any of my friends to feel I am pushing my love for the Big Guy, Son n Spirit on to anyone just what I believe like my belief JJ Abrams will ruin Star Wars too, like the US Congress n Prez are ruining the USA n we need all new Congress that will stop killing the country n thinks of the people above themselves n a Prez that really wants to help the USA, oops started to go off my main thought, remember friends can believe different things as long as neither try to push on to each other...

HUGs!!!!

Hey Hey Hello to You All...

Hey Hey Hello to You All...

I am doing well when I a woke back as a bit upset but once I sat up straight n took a muscle relaxer n a couple extra strength Tylenols my back calmed right down so going on 3rd day without taking my Rx pain med if this trend continues I may be able to stop my once a month trip to St. Pete n it's painful rides to n back St. Pete... YAY!!!
I think it looks good for that since traveled Monday nite short distance to a friends home for study n then again last nite (think about) 3miles round trip n not all of that was on a sidewalk part of that was a bump uneven path way with tree roots n rocks so to say very bumpy n jarring N I am still feeling GooD!!! YAY!!!

I truly hope/pray/wish the same from my friends/family that also suffer from pain, I truly want the same for you all going from the pain I had to how I feel now I am not completely healed of pain but the major pain that I need Rx med for is controlled n my other odd n ends pain are now being controlled by over the counter stuff!!!

HUGs!!!

YAY!!!

YAY!!!

Another day wak up n back feels great, thing is without the back pain I am noticing minor pains around my body nothing a childhood dealing with broken bones(legs n arms mainly) with no pain meds can't handle... Heck they are like insect bite an annoyance at best :-D

Hope all everyone are doing well today too...

HUGs... 

Today I Feel...

Good Afternoon everyone...

my back is feeling strange n surprisingly good today n what I mean when I first woke up n before I opened my eyes my back areas of pains felt like a warm fire from a fireplace warm n glowing as I opened my eye n sat up the glowing fire n heat disappeared n I am sitting up right now n feel now pain any where I still like a a warmth in the area I had pain but not hot like a scare feels on your skin almost like the say pain is gone but this is where I took it from so you dont forget it n remember it can easly come back...
This weekend my friend/leader Jt Albritton n  Nelson Ferrer prayed over me n some mid back pain disappear as I felt my body seeming to grow like I was being stretched nor back area was being uncompressed n now today don't feel even tall :-( :-) but am feeling Very Good now some of you may think then my pain was in my mind n that my mind needed something else to wash the pain away WELL I say believe what you want! My back issues are real I have things to prove that I had these pains n had medical look at my body scares n x-ways before n say be you must have a bunch of pains... n Now something wonderful is happening with my body n I thank Jt, Nolan n this weekend for it oh n a special thanks to John Acevedo for his praying with me after we talked over some stuff Saturday!!!

Hey How You You Doing???
I wish/pray you are all doing well, I truly care for all my friends, I dont live my old saying keep friends near n enemies even closer... If someone is negative, hateful n etc I remove them I only want You the ones that want to be with me as friends n no matter your faith n even if you have no faith I respect you all n enjoy you all!!!

HUGs!!! 

Good Day Everyone...

Good Day Everyone...

When I woke up I didn't want to wake, I was depressed about the wheelchair batteries n other odds n ends n I didn't want to make calls today, like I knew my pain doctor's office would forget to make the call for my ride next week which they didn't call on but luckily I was able to make the arrangements for my transport YAY me :-)

2nd call didn't want to make is to Batteries Plus because 1 the receipt I have doesn't show any period of a warranty n 2 it has been 6months this I got them n either thing  I figured Batteries Plus would say "sorry can't help you..." but hey they said the batteries have a 12month warranty so bring them in. YAY again for me today I will see if Russ Wallace or another member of my church would mind bringing the batteries to Batteries Plus for them to test for 2 day n then return to get the new batteries... My roommate Mark n I will put in the spare batteries that only hold a charge good enough to get around the house so I can still move about the apartment ok but no trips outside till they decide to give me the new ones n etc... but hey it is looking better now then when I first a woke YAY :-)

Body n back seem good today but my left thumb feels very sore even the slightest touch n movement is painful but it isn't broken unless it has a micro-fracture n no will no go to hospital for it, I have a split here I can put on 1 no way to get to local ER(Blake Hospital) with the wheelchair the way it is going n won't call EMT's for a thumb that is a waste of money, waste of EMT's times, n I couldn't stand the time in waiting to see Doc n him/her say ok put split on it n see your doctor in a week or 2, n how mom has been lately she really couldn't give a ride home from the ER so nope No ER from my thumb pain :-)

How are my great friends n family doing??? I hope you are doing well too!!!

HUGs!!!

:-)

Hello, had great day yesterday...

Hello Everyone...

Yesterday was a great day n last nite didn't want to go to sleep because I didn't want it over... At dinner had great friends from church join me so the was a blessing, had a wonderful time at church last nite... Wheelchair concerned me because it charge didn't hold got to Publix n wheelchair felt really weak so asked Publix if I could charge up n they were fine with that so, I plugged in n charged up for about 20-30 mins n made it home with a good amount left YAY...

I will have to take it easy on them till I can figure a way to replace them again, it is a pain that this wheelchair eats up batteries every 6+months one it is $300 at a time n insurance already told me they won't help n really don't want my church to keep helping because I feel embarrassed but blessed each time they have helped... Might have a plan to replace them but can't try it till next month... 

Yesterday was so great all the wishes from my online friends n family was a super gift, social media(like facebook) has helped me make friends n connect with old friends n family that I can't visit now so social media is a true gift to me...

Thank You that wrote on my wall for my birthday n was great to have so many friends/family writing birthday good will/wishes YAY Thanks!!!

Today I am going to sit back relax n also not use my wheelchair so it has more time to charge up(yes U electronic nerds it can only charge to a level n more time doesn't add to it just going to let it be for today) since it is my only decent means to get around I need to respect it n not abuse it...

My body is doing some what ok today, a little sore but nothing I can't handle or manage so I am good :-)

I hope you all are well today, HUGs...

YAY YAY it's my birthday...

 Hello everyone...

Think today is going to ok, body is having very low pains, right arm is cold again but a lot should say instead of cold it has a slight chill to it...

So today I have to update my ages:

legal age - 46 (was 45)

n let say body's age - 76 (it usually feels like 85)

my mental age, well for today - 13 (usually say 15)

n my 2nd birthday/rebirthday/stroke-survival-day (which isn't due to 4/2014) is still: 35 (aging backwards from day I survived figure gives me excuse to acted younger n figure the older/younger I get the more I will not make sense n will need many naps n will be easily distracted n etc...) :-D

Now since today I am praying n hoping for a miracle which is 'I pray n hope my PowerBALL number comes in, so I can say good bye to Social Security n Medicaid (after they take a cut of my winning not sure they will but might as well plan on it n same thing with Medicaid) then I can afford a new really cool electric wheelchair, also get my month fixed all the broken teeth removed was thinking I would be able to afford replacing all the broken teeth but don't think my jaw could handle the surgery because things are so brittle in my mouth so safe bet just get dentures, get me mother a good electric wheelchair too, n have a house built the Koala Compound :-) give 10%+ to Bayside Community Church n a bit more to help build the west campus own building, then setup a foundation to give aid to people having wheelchair issues(like needing repair work n/or a new chair) n also give some fun money to people that have been of help to me though the years n also to friends n family that might need a little help... Also have a special convention with stars n music n only my friends can go to(n would cost them any money to go) this would be: KoalaCon :-) 

Up I have put some thought into this n figure I might even need an accountant n lawyer for some of my plans...

Well hope your day good as well!!!

HUGs!!!

Think me n roommate repaired the problem w/ the wheelchair...

Well think me n roommate(Mark) fixed the problem from last nite... When we opened up the battery n motor compartment I barely touched a connection between the the two batteries (the black wires/connectors) n the connection came apart so, we used some Gorilla Tape to secure the connectors together n noticed the red connectors seemed was fair easy to come apart where these connectors used to snap in place but seems the snapping part hold them together has worn down so I Gorilla Tped the red connectors together also... We sprayed a number of areas that I know needed it... After putting wheelchair back together we went outside Mark ran beside me while I raced up n down the street n sidewalk n went over a number of things that chair had issues with last nite, the wheelchair functioned great almost felt faster(might just felt that way since it suddenly slowed down last nite) the real test will be tomorrow when me n Mark go to Walmart to get stuff for my pantry/refrig; think that is a mile, mile n half round trip... 
So, right now I am feeling good about me n Mark's work on the wheelchair...

A very cool day but at end something happened that is very concerning...

Hello Everyone...

I had a great day, counselor's appointment went well, I discussed some issue concerning my roommates things I could discuss here but think it would make the issues blow up from an ant hill to a mountain... Told her(my counselor - Mary Stahr) about my recent changes in habits n the things I am improving(praying more n reading more n watch a lot less TV) n she really seemed to enjoy my things I am doing... I told her about the guy I saw last nite n what I did n how my 1st thoughts of the guy with a bit of fear/concern n then my 2nd opinion when I saw him in the light... We discussed it n my 1st reaction was understandable because it was nite n it would be easy for someone to attack me to stale my iPad, even my wheelchair n she was cool with my 2nd reaction, n then I discussed how at 1st I was super proud of myself n then thought about that was not cool, but then my 3rd reaction about me thinking I could have done more...

Then talk her about other odds n end going on, it is so good/cool to have a counselor to listen to my troubles n discuss them n work on what to do with stuff...

Then I had my good early dinner at AppleBee's n resisted the prompts to have some alcohol I was asked a few times(BTW I am no longer taking a med that I was told would make me super sick if I drank any booze but a couple months ago read info on all my meds n saw that what I was taking only makes you sick if drink too much so a couple drink nothing would happen n with once I have 1 or 2 I don't care about things except getting more booze, both my doctor n counselor know I am no longer taking the med n are ok with it seeing I have been doing good at resisting the desire to want to drink);  back to AppleBee's I did have a beer a root beer :-) oh n because the manager didn't visit me (if the manager doesn't visit you before you get the bill you get $10, they try to do that to see how you liked the meal n how you liked the service) before the bill was given to me I got a $10 off my next visit YAY might go Saturday before church n have a desert (because will have pizza after church so don't want to fill up n also I am down to $12 in my budget have more in my account but have checks I haven't sent yet but have the funds to cover those checks so $12 is what is left that I can use) there was a desert I saw n was very tempted to have but was way to full, it was a chocolate moose n Oreo cookie sunday type thing for under $3, boy now I want it :-( :-) So Saturday I can get that n another root beer n that will cover that but don't think it would be good towards a tip so even if there is extra left on gift card would need to use my funds for a tip which should be ok...

Saw a couple sisters from my former church n had a cool chat with them, they want to visit me some time which is ok with me, they might try to re-recruit me but that isn't in the cards :-) Bayside is way to cool n the spirit is so great too n Bayside members have been so great making me feel as part of a super big family n have had n having inspirations in things So, if they try to re-recruit me I will politely explain that Bayside is where I feel wanted n as part of a family; in the Mormon church felt as the black sheep n I never liked their formal dressing n the music always put me to sleep @ Bayside the music is so good n moving I wouldn't be able to sleep unless I stay up for a few days n went to church :-) At Bayside the dress code(there is one) is casual/relaxed at the Mormon church it is all stiff dress shirt n tie n etc n really Not Me as must of you would know by how I dress :-D but I respect anyone devoting their life/time to the Lord, when I see a priest, nun n missionaries I go towards them say hi n chit chat... So I welcome chatting with the missionaries if they want to visit me...

When I got to Bayside there was a feeling I felt of so much positive energy n spirit n seemed like everyone including me was super happy(which I was) n the serve was very good n seeing n chatting with friends was so cool n uplifting...

A friend was concerned about things he saw n thought I posted, I don't post (his words) 'half naked' women but if one of the pages I like posts photos of models in swimwear n etc I may click the 'like' button as a former model photographer I still like seeing good pictures... I am constantly submitting reports to FaceBook of posts that violate FaceBook posting policies... I don't know how to stop other's feed from seeing my likes but to put a light on this issue: People on here (should) know I hate sports n online gaming should I get all upset that someone posts info, pics n etc of their favorite teams or player, should I get upset because someone wants Mickey Mouse to run a prez, NO shouldn't get upset at a persons likes, beliefs n etc... I thank my friend for letting me know some are concerned about my 'like's n posts but everyone needs to be cool/relax you won't see naked women on any of my posts n likes... I report offensive posts that violate FaceBook's rules but FaceBook doesn't have an poison to share the reporting I (or any1) does but they share yours/my likes but I am not ashamed of my likes... I love women in many shapes n many different shades of skin color, women are a great gift of God n Nature :-)

I also was thinking, anyone that sees a woman in swimwear n etc n they think 'Oh No, Oh My a Half Naked Woman that's so bad' ??? If they think that then I guess they don't go to beaches n pools, right 'Oh No, Oh My Half Naked Women Walking Everywhere' if a person says "Half Naked" I think they are the ones with a train of thought issue, if you see a picture of a woman n think 'Half Naked' they are the ones looking at the picture in a wrong way because I know many that think it is a bad thing still go to beaches/pools with no issues... Think that if someone has no problem going to beach/pool then they shouldn't be offended by similar pictures... Now I am not faulting anyone but think people have to examine how they are looking at picture n the women they see at beaches/pools... n just thinking if the pictures, beaches n pools are showing things they think are wrong, what about their daughters, sisters, n cousins shouldn't they be cover head to toe so they aren't showing concernable image of themselves... 

Also as a former retired model photographer I have a great respect for good photos of models n a respect for the models n the female form n so I will continue to 'like' FaceBook pages n their pictures that I think are really cool... But same note will continue to report Fb pages n Photos that violate FaceBook policies...

Sorry this (originally meant as a post but now a note) is so long but covering a lot in it n have a feeling might lose a few FaceBook friends over it but I need to explain how I felt today n how I felt about my posts n likes n people can't change me or others...

Should I tell others that their posts about the Klingon baseball team beating the Romulans baseball teams butt is against my liking n please stop sharing/liking it; stop sharing/liking supporting Mickey Mouse's nation free busing system proving free bus rides coast to coast because it is against my views; or say stop sharing your views about the Force/Karma n etc because that's not right you have to do as me n follow George Burns as the creator... These aren't real but trying to give example without getting into a real debate over who is the best James T. Kirk the original one(1966-2008) or the new guy(2009+)...

Remember we need to be true ourselves n not try to be something we are not...

Expressing one concerns is ok/cool as long as you take the time n understand my views...

Now on to something that happened on my home after church, about 10' before entering the apartment complex my wheelchair suddenly stopped n started cycling it's LED's n wouldn't move as I went down a curb cut n when I turned the chair off n on again it started acting like it was having low energy going slow n barely able to go up other curb cuts that I had to go on... The wheelchair worried me with it acting n feeling like it is having power issues I called the apartment asked my roommate to come down by the complex's office building incase it stopped totally n might need a push home, I did need a major push into the apartment n once in side chair seems ok... Today Thursday after Mark's stuff he needs to go out to do when he comes home me n him are going to open the chair up... I think a wire/connection might be lose n not giving the wheelchair the power it needs... I think this because 1) in the last three days have done a lot of travel in the wheelchair n over some areas it wasn't meant to wheelchair though, 2) think the bumps might have loosened battery cables, 3) the battery LED power level gauge still showed I has a good charge, showing it has a good charge makes me think the gauge has a connection that it knows it's power level correctly but if the connection is not right/correct/good might be why I am having power issues n know batteries are good since a member from church just got the batteries brand new a few months ago...

My mother thinks it something worst(negative nelly) but I am hoping it it is just lose connections(thinking positively) if a connection issues should be an easy fix but if it is like mom thinks I am out of luck...

I would really dislike asking for help again or asking to borrow more money again...

I will continue to think positive about this n keep praying n hoping n wishing that I win the PowerBALL so Have the income to get new wheelchair n repairs when ever I need that...

So sorry again this so long, I hope you understand me more n better... 

I hope the person that shared his concerns with doesn't get upset over this post n I think there are others that share his concern so the part of this note that covers concerns about my likes n posts isn't targeted at anyone but for all to understand where my frame of mind is...

Ok Nite Everyone...

HUGs!!!

Good day everyone...

Well day 2 of new routine n doing good got up at about 9:30am did my prayer n bible reading n TV has  been off since I a woke :-) 

Body was sore at 1st but is doing much better now YAY!!!

I updated a few apps on my iPad n searched for a new QR reader because many I had troubles using because of the shaking of my hand/arm while scanning n a few other issues but found 1 that works for me 'pdf419 Barcodes'...

I have my counselor appointment today n tonite is 1st Wednesday at church YAY been a busy week for me(for me some might think it was a lite load of activities but for me it was a lot), wondering if after counselor's appt if I should go somewhere for dinner then n relax then head to church, I am leaning towards a dinner out after all my B-Day is near by yeah dinner out tonite just wish I had someone willing to join me (Jessica Alba would be super to have dinner with but) any of my local friends would be very cool to eat n chat with...

Hope you are all doing ok today, HUGs...

Testing...

Checking this out because things seem whacked while using blogger app...

Ok seems to be ok, I can write new blogs but the blogger app doesn't show my older posts from before the updating to new google+ format but they are still there so things are somewhat ok...

on my way home...

on way home I saw a guy that looked homeless n very acting in a way made me want to get away from him ASAP which I did n then I stopped at TacoBell for something for a late dinner when I got home, as I waited for my food the guy entered TacoBell...
The guy asked the clerk for a cup so he could have some water, n as I looked at him the person I was 1st concerned n guarded about change from a better view of him in the light, then I saw a guy way down on his luck n even saw sadness in his heart/eyes... I went to where he sat n asked him 'Hi, hey please don't be upset at me but have you had anything to eat today???' he said he had not... I said 'Here dude it isn't much but is all I have on me' I emptied my wallet of my cash which was about $2 +/-cents, figured it was enough to get a value taco or something else on the value menu...

I started to feel good about what I did n was started feeling to much pride in what I did, I was now 3/4 way home from TacoBell n I started thinking hey pull that pride back Koala, too much pride isn't good n then I am like yeah n I could n should have just given him what I order n then just reorder for me so that humbled me in realizing I could/should of done more...

Now some may think he will us what little I gave him but I could see his hunger n truly believe e will get a little something to eat...

BTW, the small group study went well was a bit of challenge to get there because 26th st doesn't have complete sidewalks to where the small group is being held but I found n made a route I can mange without being on a major street with cars/trucks/etc... n met a number cool people...

Now I will finish my late dinner do my 2nd part of what I did this morning n then head to bed, I see my counselor tomorrow n have a number of things to talk over like my new daily routine...

Hope you are all doing good n TTYL I am hoping to be up about 8 - 9am...

HUGs!!!

Hey new start today :-)

Hey everyone...

Yup I am up, been up for a while trying to change some patterns in my life:

1 - wake up in the morning instead afternoon/lateafternoons...

2 - started doing prayers before I head to dreamland n also when I awake...

3 - started reading the Bible (setting at least 30mins n will try it 2x a day) I started today reading 'Matthew'

4 - leaving TV off n will schedule times to have it on for some of my favorite shows n documentaries TV shows...

5 - with new wake pattern I am doing will be going to bed earlier :-)

6 - I am also scheduling in some time to do some reading of other books instead of wasting it on the zombie making box(TV) will be trying to do at least 2 1/2 hours sessions a day maybe more or even longer will see how my brain handles it :-)

7 - been noticing some weakness in my limbs n my movements n that I don't think/blame on stroke damage think(pretty sure) is from lack of activity so am going to do a few leg lifts n arm lifts with all my limbs not a lot at 1st just need do get body moving move maybe help with my spare tire too :-)

So, I feel good today, a little sore in mid back n left side of ribs think I slept in a way that caused it to be sore but put some pain cream medication on my ribs n on my back, it is starting to feel a bit better YAY!!!

How are you all doing???

I hope you are doing okay today!!!

HUGs...
