Thought on computers
I am sitting at a Deli for lunch right now.
After this I am going HOME to that I can actually get some work done!
That's the marvel of living in the 21st century.
U can carry ur life's work in a thumb drive, u can have computers at work and at home, u can carry around a netbook with u and u can do the work almost ANYwhere.
Isn't life wonderful?
Actually it was not so wonderful earlier cos I could not concentrate on my work.
There are so much distractions where they get u to do stuff that is out of the main current project.
Last night I found that the wire that connects my netbook's charger had konked yet again. Third time in 2010!
Today before going home I stopped by the computer shop.
Bought one replacement wire and a whole new set of charger as an extra.
Then I looked at the new netbooks and laptops on sale.
There was one of each that were screaming at me to take them home.
But I decided to wait.
I do deserve a present or two but I think I shall wait for next year before i make the purchase.
What I have still works tho they are already showing signs of aging.
Maybe I'll get one of it soon.
Maybe.

hi june...so nice to hear your cheerful voice.
today has been some what of a nightmare.
in answer to your question, no they never kept dad golden in the hospital when he fell a while back,
today mom golden phoned at ten thirty to tell us that dad had fallen flat on his face and was on his way to the hospital by ambulance.
we spent four hours in emergency and they cleaned up his bloody nose and face..they took blood tests that showed that his kidneys are bad and told him to stop the fluid pills because they do the kidneys more bad than good...drink lots of water and get a walker.
we brought him home and while bernie and i went to get a walker, when we returned the ambulance was there and we were told it was for dad golden again....this time he refused to go and i don't blame him.
bernie just left and i am going to spend the night just in case...
so glad to be able to write to my dear friend from malaysia...love terry
mom golden is doing just fine
get yourself that much deserved gift because it is a good time for sales!
Dear Terry,
I can almost 'feel' the stress and tension u all must have undergone today.
I have had the experience of taking family members to the emergency room many times over the years. Its not a place where I enjoy being.
I hope ur dad Golden will quickly recover. The good thing about him having to go to the ER after fallen flat on the face is that now at least everyone is aware that he should stop the fluid pills.
I am glad ur mom Golden is ok.
Its good that u r spending the nite there cos I think u r needed.
However, do make sure u too get enough rest.
In a couple of days we will be welcoming 2011.
I am getting myself ready work-wise.
My niece will be starting 'real' school while her younger sister will remain in the same play school.
I am looking forwards to the new happenings of the coming year.
Of course there is the biopsy result too.
I shall be checking this page so u can write to me if u cannot sleep well tonite.
Take care.
June
how nice of you that you are taking the time to listen to me.
i did sleep for a couple of hours but now am unable to sleep...during the night poor dad golden got himself all wet because he missed the bottle so i had to change his long johns...it was ok though because i just changed him in the dark.
this morning bernie and i hope that he is well enough to go to the clinic where hopefully the doctor will clean out his ears. he has been taking ear drops for several days now and the wax should be soft enough to clean out and then he will be able to hear and then maybe not be as dizzy.
yes we got rid of those pills!
to tell you the truth, i never minded that dad golden wet because at least i know that he has!
i don't mind staying here through the night junie because at least it beats standing up all night in the emergency and listening to poor old dad comlaining that his back is sore and that he wants to go home and wait and wait and wait for the doctor to come...they are so busy!
thanks for listening to me my friend...love terry
Hi Terry,
I hope u will get up to a better day tomorrow.
I remember when my late dad was ill and needed help to use the bathroom, that was a role for my brothers to help out with and they did!
I am so thankful that my parents had 5 kids of both sexes and that we could (so far!) depend on each other to help out on matters that concerned our parents.
Even the eldest grandchild also helped out then (the rest were too young or unborn as yet) when Dad was hospitalized.
I told my mom that as I do not have kids of my own, I shall ask God to please let me be healthy and independent till my last breath.
My mom answered that even people blessed with kids will not know if the kids will be there for them when they need help in illness or old age.
Mom is right, of course.
Terry u go home tomorrow and have a good rest.
Maybe your sister can take over keeping an eye on ur parents for the next few hours.
Take care.
June
