father of my children my first (boyfriend) we were too young to be serious i was 14 when he left his death was sudden and unexpected a naval battle in the Phillipines latter his brother used part of the $10,000 insurance to go over and see his grave he said jim really had a beautiful place even if i had been married if there had been any chance to see him i would have but like Mary and Martha i will see him at the resurection one time i heard an athiest talking about that incident he said why did jesus say Lazerus come forth implying that he wasn't really dead a boy in his Sunday school class said if he hadn't said Lazerus come forth everyone in the cemetary would have and some day he will call us all Thu, Aug 23, 2001 Re: POETRY BY BECKIE #3 Beckie you are so right today my grandson

wasn't locked but we should have both remembered to check it i lit on my arm and shoulder it was pretty sore yesterday but it is a lot better today i was kidding one of the girls one time she had me in the whirlpool tub which is pretty deep i was sleepy and my head kept going forward she said don't do that i told her if you let me drown you can't imagine the paper work you're in for she said i don't want to find out even a fall is a lot of work call the dr. call the family fill out all the extra forms in my case it's been there done that but actually they are very careful but things do happen she said i've been nursing for three years and never let anyone fall i said well wait till you're at it over 20 she said that's so far off i said not as far as you think this morning they exrayed my arm and wrist but it's not broke i remember my leg she couldn't even put my shoe on Fri, Aug 24, 2001 afraid to tell someone something when i was in the hospital i was in after i first had my stroke it seemed like every weekend something happened my husband had said do you think we can get by this weekend without any incidents then that Friday night when the nurse was teaching me how to transfer from the wheelchair to another seat it was in the shower room the board i was transfering to was wet my hand slipped and i went down and broke the paralized leg one of the aids told me afterwards my legs were all twisted under me anyway i thought how am i going to tell Bill about this i told him nothing would happen this week so when he called in the morning i told him i fell and my leg is bent the nurse took the phone away from me and said her leg is broken so for10 weeks i wore a cast and had to go to a nursing home because with the cast on i couldn't do the required time of rehab exercises but the first home i was in was not very good after i got the cast off i went back to the hospital for about a week then my daughter found the home where i am now i will be here 11 years this fall and baring a miracle the rest of my life and i'm only 75 but in everything there are blessings at least i can still think and keep in touch with my friends on the net i am so thankful for webt.v. i asked my son in law the other night about the price of a laptop he said they were more expensive than regular computers but he would keep his eye out for one they could afford so maybe someday i will actually have my own computer i don't know what else i could do with it goodness knows i wouldn't have room for a printer or a scanner at least with the web i don't have to worry about viruses Fri, Aug 24, 2001 Re: WHAT A DUMMY I AM›› when i was working our insurance was Moshers Missouri State employees and retires a very good insurance but one time they told us we could take an h.m.o. we had to chose a dr. that they had on their list bu it was only $5 for an office visit if you went to the hospital the most it would cost you in a year was $600 not bad for an extended hospital visit but all of a sudden they told us we would have to come back to moshers i learned later that that h.m.o. had gone banktrupt another insurance to be wary of is AARP my huband and i had taken it for a number of years then he had to have surgery a knee replacement after it was over we found out because the drs. that performed the surgery did not ccept medicare AARP would not pay not one cent left us with a $700 bill thankfully we did have the part of social security that covers you with insurance the part i object to is that in all of their advertising they never tell you that it was only when we put in our claim that they told us that Fri, Aug 24, 2001 Re: WHAT A DUMMY I AM›› nothing is wasted if you make friends and since i have had this web i have found out that is one of

dad had to get one foot and drag me out but worst we crossed the street that devided the school districts i had just finished the first grade and i had to go to a different school i didn't get back to "my" school until the fifth grade that was in 1932 my folks had just built the house in 1928 and while we were gone they rented it for $25 a month do you remember those days then after i got married and was just getting used to living on a farm we moved from Illinois to Missouri nothing against Missouri it is a good state but i did get to go to l.p.n. school and made that my carreer then we had a nice home in Centralia and all of a sudden one morning i fell on my face and since then it hs been the hospital then the nursing home oh well looking at my astrology chart all the changes are not

men got out without anyone seeing him they knew someone went out the alarm on the door went off they went all over some even went around the building outside then one of the night aids called and said he was at break time a station not too far down the road he is not really steady on his feet and he had gone all the way down there pushing a wheelchair he kind of goes with my roommate and he said if he could have made just one call he would have gotten away my roommate said his family would have brought him right back it could have been bad he could have fallen gotten hit well thats about all the
