Site Title Myxomatosis

Just waiting for Spring. It just seems like it takes forever. It’s actually my favorite season. Momentarily am listening to Rainbows by Radiohead, Its one of my favorite bands along with Pearl Jam. Wanted to mention that I like this site very much. I’ve been blogging for a very long time. It’s a way to have the freedom of expressing my thoughts.! I view other blogs and it seems they are far better than mine. Seems like I’ve got a lack of confidence or I’m second guessing myself. I recall Children Live what they Learn! And it’s so true. I blog under the name classy lady 2422001. I feel more secure using that, than using my given name. The blog before this one, about the young child who was crossing Queens Blvd. That young child was me. I lived in Forest Hills NY and went to Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School. Each blog I do, I want it to be perfect. I am highly critical of myself. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to relax more, and not be a bundle of nerves., Andre gives me strength each moment of the day to carry on. I just remember mind over matters. Paying attention to items that matter and everything else can go by the waste side. Reputation is what others think of you, Character is what you think of yourself! Character is like an oak tree and reputation is only a shadow.!

Just waiting for Spring to come. Can’t come soon enough! Now let’s imagine this scenario. A young The child who was filled with adventure. She takes it upon herself to walk home across Queens Blvd. On the first island, she bravely makes it across. Then on the second island she becomes apprehensive because many vehicles were going at a high rate of speed in two directions. She starts to cry, and a kind paroleman asks her where she lives? She of course is thankful. Her mother arrives at the door and looked alarmed. The mother asked her why? The young child gave an honest answer. The mother packed her lunch containing milk in a thermos which wasn’t tightened. It became loose in the lunchbox and spilled. The sandwich was soaked with the other, contents. The child threw the lunchbox in the garbage can. She was hungry and decided to walk home. Of course, the mother didn’t apologize .The mother was self absorbed, The little girl’s feelings were hurt. Now whatever happened to this young child? Speaking philosophically, and in general terms, When a couple gets married, the in- laws just focus on her and ignore him or vise-versa? The in-laws should focus on both. It happens time and again. Why is it, that parents just favor one child and not the sibling or siblings? Now what’s wrong with this picture? Parents should pay equal attention to all. Let ponder this!

Yes again it snowed. and a quite a bit. Seems like it’s always snowing here. One just has to take it in stride. When my sons were growing up, they enjoyed a variety of reading materials. Mostly comics were their choice. As they. got older their interest was the same. Ian liked Delbert and Andre liked Rick and Morty, Bobs Burgers, the Simsons, and Pearls Before Swine. They grew up watching learning programs such as Electric Company, Reading Rainbow, and Sesame Street Got a boombox for Christmas and now I enjoy some of the music Andre liked such as a punk rock who are Irish The Pogues, Eminem, Dinosaur Jr, The Cure, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Metallica, and of course the Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chicago, The Platters, Louie Prima and Keely Smith and Guns and Roses. All this music may never go to waste and may be listened occasionally again and again! Keeping up with things as usual. Namely things to recall. A blood test has been done to a person who may have ALS. Now it is 80%. This breakthrough was done in 2025, Now it has to be 100%, Also a blood test to determine if a person has kidney disease. is being done. It is being tested, kidney disease can now be reversed in some cases. There’s not a blood test for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as yet, it has a way to go such as clinical trials. The cure for some diseases is on the horizon. It just takes patient research to achieve this.

What a year it has been with all kinds of emotions wrapped together!. The apartment was filled with memorable memories and it will be forever filled, Gave away the hockey collection to Ian and Michelle. They both appreciated this greatly. Gave the camera and technology equipment to Kyle; Andre’s childhood friend. He thought it to be wonderful. Also gave some Batman video movie to Thomas on of Kyle’s sons. Thomas is a great fan of Batman.. He was overjoyed with this. Gave some winter items to Kyle and family. Both Kyle and Andre hated winter so the items were used well. Gave a guitar and music items to Adam. He was Andre’s friend, A jacket was given to Marigold, she’s one of Adam’s daughters. Gave some art supplies to Scott and Judy. They both appreciated it greatly. Some exquisite cassette tables were done beautifully by Andre. They were given to Donna and Ken. and also to Adam. They were overwhelmed with such kindness. Some comic books were given to Asa and Madeline who are Scott and Judy’s grandkids. Scott is my second cousin. They were thrilled. Gave some more comic books to Owen and Emily who are David and Liz’ children. Liz is my niece. They were excited to have received them. I’ve got an array of photos in the living room all celebrating Andre’s life. Its a joy of warmth to me. A bit of overwhelming sadness came on Oct.9th when Sweet Baby Oreo died of kidney disease which happens to cats. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital as a result of low sodium. Adam was suppose to have taken care of Oreo in my absence and took Oreo was taken to his house. I have many photos of Sweet Baby Oreo and look at them frequently, Andre and Sweet Baby Oreo are in heaven, and they are together. I might add that Andre always liked Pearls before Swine and the comic is written by Stephan Pastis who blogs for WordPress as I do. The worse pain is to loose a child. The hole within you is never filled. Every single item given will live on through others who have known Andre. He is still and forever keeping me strong.

There is still quite a heaping amount of snow here: In fact: There’s so much It covered all the way to the street that it’s difficult to maneuver. This will pass soon enough and slowly it will be back to normal. I’m protesting the winter games. I’m not watching any of the coverage. Simply for the fact that Israel is participating. The Leader of Israel isn’t good for the country. I read recently that Israel took a drone and killed 2 cyclists in Gaza. Moreover, the country refuses to give Palestine their land which is rightfully theirs. The Palestine Israel issue has been going on for far too long. Palestine just wants to live peacefully. They surely have a right to do this.

The American Kidney Fund is focused on fund raisers and treatment for patients. The National Kidney Foundation is focused on research. Surely their angle should be the same. My question is How can a disease be cured when two organizations are at odds with one another?

Here there was a massive snowstorm. Rochester NY is between Lake Erie which has very strong winds and Lake Ontario which has a great amount of snow. Now to the subject at hand. The cause and effect factor.

A Ramification deals with a consequence namely positive or negative factors. Repercussion deals with a consequence that’s neutral or negative. What prompted me to examine these two complex words is this. When something unforeseen occurs namely a 5-year-old boy who was used as a pawn to get to his father. I thought when after the cameras are off and pulled away and the news coverage had stopped. What would be the ramifications of this 5-year-old boy’s life? How would he look at life in general? Would he look at life after these after these ICE officials pulled the boy away from his father? His father was an immigrant, who was an illegal. So. he was working hard and keeping his son safe before this occurred. ICE should never come to any American city and interrupt daily life.

Here its raining and still cold. Its everlasting winter as it just drags on. Though people just have to deal with it, knowing it won’t last forever. Robert Downey Jr. did a music album called The Futurist. Its fantastic. An idea is to have Joe Pesci team up with Robert Downey Jr and do a music album together. Afterall Joe Pesci first love is music. He plays the guitar excellently, another idea is to have families generations, future generations, listen to music of different genres and like and appreciate it in a different way. Just for instance Queenryche who does several songs including Silent Lucidity. Have them play some soundtracks from movies, as Alexandre Duplait does so magnificently. Still yet another idea would be Chicago the band with horns do some movie soundtracks also. This group of fine musicians have lasted decades. I heard No Surprises by Radiohead played by the Vienna Symphonic Orchestra it was wonderful. Have both Radiohead and Pearl Jam team up and do music from the 50s 60s and play them instrumentally by well-known orchestras This would bring people together in a positive way and may have interchangeable differences between generations.

There is an abondance of snow here. There’s no visibility to drive though people are making the best of it. An idea is to have governors, and of mayors of the city council to vote on taking away guns from the citizenry. There are too far many guns in the US. The option is to give the citizenry money for their efforts. To give the money to their favorite charity or keep it for their own needs. Another idea is instead of killing animals deer for example because of the over population of them; place the deer in a reserve to live out their lives in tranquility. What type of human being who just kills animals for sport?These are very self centered and selfish among other adjectives that are unbecoming! Instead of being part of a problem and doing nothing, be a part of a solution. The difference between an animal and a human being is that humans have an intellect. Animal kill for food in order to survive. Human being have the intellect to know better. Yet another idea is to have judges be out of politics. have them work on their own merit instead of every time be elected. There are several cases that aren’t right in the fact that a criminal can be convicted of a crime and then go to another county and be released by a different judge. This happened here locally. This is very unjust! If a person or persons alledgedly accused of crimes against children or animals or both, these people should receive the maximum sentence. May I request a favor, I would like to have this blog and previous and following blogs be posted not under my given name, let them be posted under myxomatosis and classylady 242001. I would feel comfortable if my given name were not mentioned. I really like wordpress and will indeed recommend it to anyone if asked, Thanks. An added thought my intent is to blog 1000 blogs as to count I have over 800!.

Winter is well on its way with all kinds of havoc. So, this is winter like it or not. Guantanamo Bay prison should have been closed years ago. However, its unfortunately open. The Congress has voted to have it closed to no avail. Amesty international has requested to have it closed. This is not right to have a facility open this length of time. It was open originally on 2001 as a result of the 9/.11 attacks on the World Trade Buildings. Prisoners have been there since then. They are from the Middle East countries; these prisoners should be transferred to their country of origin and have their country deal with them. These remaining prisoners are from Oman, Yemen, and other countries related to the Near East. The prison was started in the Bush Administration, the Obama and Biden administrations, and it remains open in the present administration. There are lots of questions and absolutely no answers to this dilemma. This can’t go on forever. Someone has to care enough to do something about this!

The weather here is the same with rain. snow and wind. The temperatures are in the twenties however when the dreadful wind is upon oneself it seems as if it was in the teens. Now as I blog there isn’t a drop of snow though it will change in a couple of days. Earlier I was speaking with friends and relatives. How nice that was! At this time of year there should be harmony with one another. Everyone has their own agenda, and one should be aware of this and treat others with respect. Everyone is different in every way; from the way they appear to the way they think. And that is the way it should be. Some have differences of opinions though that should have the right to express their thoughts openly without repercussions. This is whether politically or otherwise. This is what a free country should be. If for instance a group doesn’t like something they should have the right to protest in a peaceful manner, if one doesn’t like something then do it in a positive way. Think of the homeless who are out in the cold with no warmth of blankets and pillows under their heads. Speaking of the homeless, they don’t have proper food to eat. Going to food banks is very unhealthy. A good idea is to have gardens of fresh fruits and vegetables for them to harvest, this is far better than going to food banks. That food has so many preservatives, sugars, and all the nutrients that aren’t good to keep one healthy.
