yeah, guys, it does, doesn't it? Sorry, Pawille; would bracing it with your left hand, help it? I've had to do that, get some support.so it won't shake so much.I even practice with the left, in case the right goes Pooh someday. (They said Monet had his paint-brush tied to his hand, at the end, so he kept painting,)

one of the EphRON sisters just died, you know, the writers? One of them wrote this great essay, on turning 60 to 65, and she told how her life-long friend got a lump on her tonque, or throat, and she was dead in a year.

It was in" Vogue magazine ". it was A great article, and she told the reality, of being 60 yrs. old: reality! no sugar-coating the subject. that was the best, realistic true piece I've ever read on the subject. and it. was in a fashion magazine. (it was a couple years ago,l can look it up; wish I could upload it.it might be online under "Vogue articles," or "Nora EphRon; or just Ephron sisters".

But that article really was honest-and excellent writing, (my-therapist had the best line: "Old age is not for sissys",}I hope you. both feel, and get better, no matter what it is. l could tell you real stories, of people .| Know, who doctors expected to die, years ago, and they're still alive and kicking. I guess doctors don't know everything.:)

Dot I am ok just going through a lot now. My comma doesn't work on my keyboard so don't mind run-on sentences... My father had a total knee replacement and is in a hospital bed in our family room here.. he wanted to recover at home and it's been a lot of work for me along with my son who may be sick today.. well as of last night anyway..so it's up/down up/down the stairs and off my ass... I ran out of pain meds about four days ago and the leg and back really started hurtin again from all I'm doing (taking care of my dog who's having seizures and 3 cats as well)..so anyway.. went to the dr. last night and he said I need to start thinking about having an operation since I can't handle doing that much anymore without pain... and showed me how much my vertebrae had moved within my spine and recommended an operation... what is next.. I mean c'mon!

thanks dorothy, looks like a lot of us are going through a hard time, I am trying different methods to control my right hand and am working on another drawing and it is taking a long time but I will see if I can finish it. Lori, I had severe back problems as well but waited to long to have surgery so it took 9 hours in the operating room and I ended up with multiple complications ans almost died 4 times and now I cant walk. I should have had it done sooner

I just purchased a Hewlett Packard a few days ago. Comes with Windows 8. So far, for just a measly $360.00 it runs great. I didn't expect much from this PC but it exceeded my expectations. Now if I can ever get good internet that does not disconnect me every half hour or less, then I will build my own top of the line computer for gaming online.

You get what you payed for. I got my moneys worth so no complaints about Hewlett Packard, or Windows 8.
dorothyblueeyes (edited Mar 25, 2013)
ok, thanks for comment on hP; my hp,l apologize to, it was software, virus, MAL ware problems, NOT the good old Windows7, hp. Pavilion,its great, I did get a whole terabyte, (l think) so my new 'puter was about, almost $600.But, got tons of Ram, ect., l need it. I do so much art, to store, and do many different things; dictation software takes a lotto Ram, too. I admit, now, l was wrong. but the picture was so cute! I just ranted about their phone-repair-tech-idiots, who are usually in India, or the Philippines! Haw! they bug the Hell out of me!

I should Keep doing my"l hate Microsoft" picture. THEY deserve the Rant, not HP!:) I really love my 'puter, and have images of "SpongeBob" all over the desk. Hee hee. I couldnt' live without it now! Good Luck on your gaming!:) [l had so much fun with this, ha ha!); D
Wraith (edited Mar 17, 2013)
Yeah. HP is not very good in the gaming department. But for internet browsing, drawing, listening to music, watching netflix, it's the perfect pc for that. Win 8 is not that bad once you get used to it. Wish I had win xp pro again. :/

not really fin; I never have gotten the true art tools-for realistic objects and really conqueror these tools; which I used in real art, never got the hang of the software tech techniques. I should go back to school, draw objects, bouquets, people, portraits (used to do people-a lot.). l, was trained in fine art, not commercial; I loved doing portraits, Trees, settings of squash, flowers.l miss that. GOT wrapped up in hard stuff, and go away from fine artwork. I used to be good at it. in retirement, now, like to get back to it; but I wanta learn to really use these tools better. thanks, All!:) ( l Made the muffins.)

Yes, davinci, our local city of Eugene, Lane county leaders are corrupt dictators, who steal and mismanage the taxes, and even break govt. Laws themselves. the "Men" in this town aren't MEN anymore; they let the mayor and goVt. walk all over them, we have a very corrupt, govt. and town here, the rich own the govt, and even go against voters, votes! l am doing a satire article about it, on my blog.

In article, I discover that all the men in town have caught a horrible disease; the reason they are all cowards is because the epidemic has caused all their BALLS to itch, rash, disintegrate, and fall off! Yeah, so they no longer have any BALLS! haw haw! l go to the local health dept., and the director shows me cases,XRays and how the disease has done this. (meant to be satire) l hope it comes off at funny. Humour is the best revenge, often.

l will try to clean this up. not likely-tho. l do satirical articles on my town, the people, all the HIPPIES,druggies, crime,smog, problems, ect. ect. -l try to be funny & entertaining, to get my points across.

Next,l will write about an Oregon tax.evader,who also protested openly against the govts'.taxes,and how if you protest against taxes,here,the goVt. puts you in prison for it(true)

that happens here;you legally protest against taxes here,the goVt,-. puts you in prison, on Trumped.-up charges.(TRUE)

the goVt.makes an example of Tax protesters to scare everyone else.So no one openly protests against Taxes here;Too dangerous! the punishment worked;no more tax protests or "taX-protest" groups.l guess its as bad aS protesting against the wars, huh?!

yeah, hi, DJ,You are correct. WHY people are not referred to as" white, with a little black" is a mystery. hope this was not insulting to anyone) meant as satire. mostly "haw haw!
Miss_DJ (Jan 30, 2013)
I hate the race card, and especially if someone is half and half, the black side of the card used as it's convenient. I wish we'd all throw the cards away...but, you know it won't happen.
dorothyblueeyes (Feb 6, 2013)
miss DJ, I have even noticed black ladies who have beautiful skin, far more beautiful than me. I am very very white and even ruddy. And a black friend of mine was very tall, and she had the most beautiful skin, kind of light coffee and cream, and I kept thinking "how come someone like her might be more discriminated against, then me, and she's actually more beautiful!"she could replace Hallie Berry any day, although she's heavier.come to think of it, she looks a lot better than Glynith Paltrow.(maybe a lot of white people are also secretly jealous of some of these more beautiful, good-looking black people.you know, just looking very bleached out and all WHITE doesn't always look that great.)ha ha. But it's true! ;)
Miss_DJ (Feb 7, 2013)
yep...beauty sure comes in all shades of the rainbow!

yes_ -great colors by airbrush! My insane brain that is healing better, but took years to improve. lots of people have "brain-damage'; they now admit that PTSD, and depression are physiological illnesses, of yer brain, and NOt your bad moods, laziness, or personality flaws. Your brain is actually having nuerological problems! Even bad addictions are damage to the brain, and very hard to change!That makes this qrotesque painting a nuerological result; hah!

enjoydot is correct, it is a mixture of those things; and to different people it means different things.I have no blood family,really, and the "family" i had years ago,was destroyed because one of the main members died.Unfortunately it just reminds me of all the people who are gone and dead. its common to get depressed in later life,I found out, and that's one of the main reasons; everyone dies. yeah, Xmas reminds me of all that.

Hugs for you dotty.

I always get grumpy around Mother's Day. Now that is getting pushed down your throat as well each year more it seems. "Here, a great reminder that your lovely mother isn't around anymore. And we're going to shove that fact in your face with each commercial you see.".
dorothyblueeyes (Jan 13, 2013)
