Where To, Bud?

Got my letter of denial a week ago and I can appeal. A friend of mine also said that I should have my local Congressman do an inquiry and we're going to do that as well. This just gets "better and better", doesn't it? No job, only a small pension and facing bankruptcy next month. While I'm at it, I may as well tell you the rest. I had D admit me to Ridgeview Institute for suicidal ideations and regulations of my meds which I had been cutting back on to save money. I spent 4 nights there and got out the 23rd. No, I didn't do Christmas with the family. I stayed home and played my guitar. Even though they they upped my meds, I'm still pretty much an emotional train wreck and I wasn't going to "snow" on anyone's Christmas Parade. The family understands how things are with me, but my little grandson Julian doesn't. Don't bother laying a "guilt trip" on me or telling me that I was "depriving" him of his "Opa...

Click on the title above for a message from my favorite redhead, Becks . I chose the country version, but there are a few others. Here's one with Becks and her mother Sylvia who has Alzheimer's. Cute, huh? You'll need to copy and paste the below link to see those two cuttin' a rug! http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/dEsBfryp1PUtT62K Thanks, Becky and that's a very handsome picture of your Bill "Der Erste Bill" ("the first Bill") from Scotland!

From Luke and Helga in Australia. The video says it all: Happy Holidays from Bill and Dondra

Miss me? I'm baaaa-aaaaack! Read by clicking the TITLE line above: And y'all prolly need to listen to this replay of one of my favorite all-time SONGS! I spent a little time on "The Green Mile", but I'm back for the holidays, so here's THIS! height="344"> It's okay to close your little eyes and rock back and forth, if y'all wanna..... Thanks and don't forget the four-footers! For the animals always Bill

D asked me to accompany her to our Methodist church's Christmas dinner (I am not yet a member there, being that I was raised Catholic), but I couldn't handle it. I did the best I could. Smiled and said hello, but other than eating and smiling at the kids who enjoyed their gifts, I just could not do it. Was it the fact that D and I cannot spend a Christmas with friends and family back home in Germany this year? Heretofore, I have always been able to make a trip home to Rothenburg at this time of year, and this time, as I was married, I would not have had to go by myself! Was it the fact that Betty couldn't be there with her Wayne? The Dementia? I used to be able to speak in front of large crowds and felt comfortable talking to them. Hell, I don't know. All I know is that the tears spilled out, but I kept them at eyelid level. Now I am facing a family Christmas on the 19th, and I would give anything not to have to go, but D is hitting me over the head with the fact that...

I am having some issues with volume on my microphone, so please stand by. I have a bunch of stuff written which I want to share with you, but we may be going to another blog adress very soon. google, as y'all know, has taken away the moneys meant for AD Research and Paulding Humane Society. I am being told it's because of my WARNING that the content here is only meant for adults, but I think that's a bunch of BULLSHIT! NO ONE advised me that I needed not to include advertisers for y'all to click on! NO ONE! But I did get a response on the google forum and she told me all was okay. Y'all saw that, right? Then I got another response telling me it wasn't okay! WTF ?????? This was to be my Christmas Present (small though it may have been) to Alzheimer's Research and the Unwanted Pets!!!!! God, I'm wore out. Totally. Please click to feed 'em! So many of them get "turned in" daily, and so many of them have an "expiration date"! T...

Watch it closely the first time...... Then watch it closely again. They're cold, hungry and alone Jesus Christ, google. Jesus Christ.

I have had my ad sense account disabled. These are the ads which are revenue-generating and which last Wendesday came to the following amount: At that point I put through a request for payment of $100.00 - $50.00 of which was to go to Alzheimer's Research amd $50.00 to Paulding Humane Society. Yesterday I received the following notification from google: ==================================================================================== Google AdSense to me show details Dec 4 (2 days ago) Hello, While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers.

And if, like me, you have "trouble" with the holidays, you don't have to be alone, you can be with me ! Virtually, that is. The Internet. A private chat, just us. Lotsa jabberin'. Come on in and "set" a spell. What I'd like to do is create a temporary chat room for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for those of us who get the blues at Christmas. See, I'm one of those people too, and you'd be helping me by giving me something to do and somebody to do it with ! (minds outta the gutter chirrun!:)) A lot of what could happen depends on y'all wanting to do this and how MANY of you want to do this. It wouldn't be a voice chat, unless y'all want it to be, so it would be just us, but that too is open to discussion and change. I just need for y'all to leave me a yea or nay in the comments , because there's no use me sitting here waiting for someone to come online when I could be working on something else. We'll set up a time via a ...

Such as this guy: That was an excerpt from a DVD/Book he wrote, but pretty much puts it all into perspective, as far as I'm concerned. What he is telling us is what I would like to say as well: "I'm still intellectually "sound", so as long as I have that "soundness of mind", even though it frustrates me, wait and let me come up with the word I can't remember. If I can't, I'll ask you for help." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This doesn't happen very often, but recently I linked you to a site which purported to explain the difference between "dementia" and "Alzheimer's Disease". My counsellor, Suzette read that link, decided there were some things written there which weren't all together factual, and sends us the following clarification. In retrospect, had I not been so all-fired anxious to get away from the bright screen because of the eye infection...

It took a little longer than expected, but we're very close to an "air-date" of what (for now) I am calling "Where To, Bud? - The Podcast". What I have done thus far: 1. Narrowed down the choice of servers (3) using the following criteria: a) Cost b) Ease of Operation (for me) c) Amount of Bandwidth Cheap is better than Free in that I get more time Free is better than cheap, since I don't have to worry about a subscription fee. The easier this podcast will be to operate, the free-er I will be to talk to you. Since it won't be "live", I will have plenty of time to edit and tweak, so what comes out on the other end hopefully will be informative as well as entertaining. I plan to draw on my 15 years as a broadcaster/talk-show host to make it as professional a production as I can. By that, I mean I'm not going to sit here and make jibber-jabber "small-talk". The show will have been prepared and edited before-hand, but will be presente...
