So we are at war! Was I surprised, not really. Would I have said yes were I asked to vote for war, in all honesty I would have to abstain from voting. I really dont know what the answer is. We can bomb Syria to smithereens but there are factions of the rebels worldwide, how can we get them all. All countries are home growing them. I don't even understand why we still pay benefits for the families living here who go over to join their men. Just giving them more money to make their bombs. For me once they leave this country to go to Syria I would then stop all benefits and refuse to allow them back into the country. If the ones whose wives follow on with their children wish to come back I would also refuse. The men that go cannot hold their family in much regard so why then leave it for us to pick up the pieces. The money keeps dripping from our coffers into their bank accounts, often it is our money paid for by benefits that pay for their tickets over there, then when radicalised and with clear instructions on how to harm us we then pay their air fare back here !!!!! How does that work. I do fear reprisals now in all major cities. It is what we were promised if we dared to attack and I fear so many more innocents will suffer.
What can we do, sit back and do nothing until they change all our religions to their own, well no, that won't work. Even if we did change they would still not be happy, fighting is what they like. I can't believe in any religion that tells man to kill its fellow man. I throw my hands up in bewilderment of it all and I am pleased in this instance that it was not down to me to say yeah or nay. Quite where it will end I don't know. Look how long the problems went on for in Ireland! Will this be the same?
Will it help to bomb them, or will it make them more angry than ever. The atrocities they carry out is beyond belief, and all in the name of religion! I think not. If we don't do something where will it end, not until we are all of "their making". How long could we sit on the fence and do nothing because of these very real fears of reprisals, not much longer. Still I am pleased I did not have to make such a difficult decision. It isn't that I care about the other countries killing the terrorists, of course I don't, they certainly don't care about all the innocents they kill. I just worry about their anger that we DARE to fight them back and the horrors they will leave us all with in return.
I do fear for our children and grandchildren and wonder what kind of a world they will live and grow old in. How I wish we could all live in a world of tolerance and love, where we all got on and cared for each other. This won't be happening any time soon! It will be very interesting to see where we go from here.
Master chef
Just watching this programme and it astounds me how people that call themselves chefs can't even make a simple hollendaise sauce! I was cringing as I saw it made with tomato sauce and tons of oil, no egg yolks to be seen, the resulting mess wasn't even tasted by the judges. We were taught how to make this simple sauce whilst at school and these were supposedly professional chefs. Pleased I don't eat in their reateraunts. I shall find it very interesting now to see their own creations. It always surprises me how they do so poorly in the skills test and then go on to do amazing things. My money is on Mark right now.
Why won't he listen
Roy my neighbour wanted a bath. I asked him if he wanted me to stay with him till he got in, I have seen him naked before since he had so many problems with his diarrehea but he insisted that he could manage. Two minutes after I got home I got his call to say he had fallen would I go to help him, he was shaken and a bit bloody but still insisted on his bath. Colin helped him in and his grandson helped him out, I was cross with him as a broken hip at his age could well kill him as it did my lovely mother in law. I know it is hard for him to ask for help but I volunteered it. He was shaken up afterwards though so I did his shopping and insisted he rested. I was just thankful that he had the sense to have taken his mobile into the bathroom and placed it within easy reach, it could have been a whole different picture, a terrible one. I hope he sticks to his showers for now unless somebody is with him.
Izzy and her Christmas Fayre
We attended this with Izzy yesterday as she was sleeping at ours last night. She did really well on the tombola winning two nice prizes. She also received from Santa a felt bunny to be sewn and stuffed. Now I knew her mommy wouldn't have had the time what with her work, housework, playtime homework and cleaning the house etc so grandad decided he would sew it for her and she was to stuff it. How I smiled to see my Colin patiently sewing the rabbit and stitching the eyes etc on it. When I had a bit of a giggle he just gave a wry smile and said well somebody needed to do it!
She then went on to draw pictures of her favourite people. Of course mommy came first, then grandad and me, where was I, ...... well nowhere! I so know my place. I know she loves me very much but I am not the one that takes her swimming, plays rough games with her etc. Even when we bake she quickly loses interest as granddad and play win out every time. I really don't mind though.
Whilst I was at the dentist last week I bought Izzy a two minute timer for brushing her teeth. I assumed she understood the concept but oh how wrong could I be. When I was in the bathroom with her, both of us brushing Izzy said "quick grandma we did it." When I asked what she meant the answer I got astounded me. She said the idea of the timer was that we BEAT it to brush our teeth before the sand completed its journey! Needless to say I explained the real idea of the timer.
Oscar P .......
At last some sort of justice has been dished out in this case. I was shocked at the original case as I saw what he had said in his statements and then changed them so readily in court. How on earth the original judge believed all the lies he threw at them is beyond me. This judge has some common sense and said Oscar would have made sure she was safe first, or they could both have gone out of the door just feet from their bed if he truly believed there was an intruder in his bathroom. All her clothes except a pair of jeans were being removed from the apartment, all packed in a suitcase. I totally agree with the prosecutors comments who said they were having a row, she ran and he shot her whilst she was so totally defenceless. The only good thing that can come out of this is that for the next few years another innocent girl cannot be fooled into thinking this is a nice guy and maybe suffer the same fate, or at least some of the bullying he was known for. What an arrogant man he turned out to be. Winning gold medals for your country does not give you the right to think you are above the law, thank goodness common sense prevailed. Not sure how long until he can stop enjoying all the comforts of his home whilst under house arrest, it can't come soon enough for me.
Roll on Trial follow up
This will be on Wednesday. My breathing is not the best, struggling at times and my stupid ph cough is back with a vengeance. These coughs are so irritating as there is nothing to come up, no chest infection, just a cough every couple of minutes. This cough used to drive Colin mad before I was diagnosed, even having him shouting at me once to "stop that coughing", I couldn't of course no matter how hard I tried. I won't give up on the trial though, at least not unless my ph specialist advises me to, certainly not for the first six months. Then after this time I will have the rhc and mri etc. If there is a worsening then I shall of course come off and try another drug. One good thing has come of it though, I don't talk much, always a plus for Colin!
I shall also talk to my Professor about asking him to please tell my doctor I need referring to a pulmonary exercise class. Karen Farminer goes and enjoys hers. My doctor has said time and time again he is too scared to refer me but with David Kielys' approval how can he say no.
End of another blog, thank you for reading and I hope you all have a lovely week.
Take care, much love to you all Carole xxxxxx
