SO happy to hear the doctor's report ...Oh, Pat! SO happy to hear the doctor's report was not a bad one for the Farmer.<br /><br />And re: the trauma of so many. My brother was diagnosed with cancer last week. It was caught early, and didn't seem as bad as it could be, and we were all very brave and upbeat. Until, out of the blue, I started sobbing a few hours later. And I couldn't stop. And then I realized I was crying about everything that's wrong in the whole world.<br /><br />My brother went to a Cyber Knife specialist at Georgetown University today. One of maybe a dozen in the country. He said Rudy is a very good candidate for this very high dose, very targeted radiation, and he expects a good outcome.<br /><br />And, this afternoon my school bus driving husband found out he has work for another year! Hooray!<br /><br />I have a slight headache now, so I am going to bed.Maureen @ Josephina Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026799070718705353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-73266136336517672872014-08-18T11:46:22.586-07:002014-08-18T11:46:22.586-07:00So happy to hear the Farmers problem can be fixed....So happy to hear the Farmers problem can be fixed.<br />Yes. the world has going mad and for some of it I am in the middle and I don't even understand it.<br />Cleaning windows sound very good to me.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-71040039789294733452014-08-18T09:43:05.888-07:002014-08-18T09:43:05.888-07:00I hope your farmer's balance problem gets cure...I hope your farmer's balance problem gets cured re his doctor visit.<br />I enjoy lunch with gal friends too.<br />So many problems in this world; I pray for help for the suffering, every day.

It would have been seen as disrespectful - now these photos are everywhere and the whole western world will be as inured to the horror as if we'd been in battle.<br />Aleppo? I have no idea.

Meanwhile, Hamas are killing children in Egypt, ISIS are slaughtering by the thousand and kidnapping women, and others are dying of Eboli.

Here in the U.S., the media motto is: "If it bleeds, it leads."

We are helpless to do anything effective to relieve the world's suffering. It is all brought into our homes with relish by the media day after day, and can we believe everything we are told? Eventually we shall become immune to all the horrors.<br />Our windows could do with your attention. Heavy rain showers outside and visits from flies inside have left their mark.<br />Hope the Farmer gets some effective treatment soon.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-35484521186475587072014-08-18T03:32:06.497-07:002014-08-18T03:32:06.497-07:00I must say that being able to admire clean windows...I must say that being able to admire clean windows and curtains is a very happy position to be in!<br />As to the news - yes, I think the world has gone quite mad and the news media only brings us very edited, sensationalized and biased views - even the BBC which is a great deal less biassed than the US TV.<br />Yes, they do not report on the day to day distresses to children and families - preferring to show bombs and expensive weapons.
