Death

The other day, a young man lost his life, just a block from our home.

We were having dinner and my Cuz was down visiting us, when my Son came in from Tae Kwon Doe class and said that there was a fire on the next street over...
Well, everyone went out the front door and started looking and wondering, (we can see the house on fire from my house), and after the initial excitement, they all came back in, and resumed normall conversation.

Though, they did periodically gaze out the door to see if the fire was still going, and my Brother in law, called and told us that he frantically looked everywhere in his house, cause he smelled all the smoke, (wind carried it to his place), and he searched high an dlow, thinking his house was on fire!!
It wasnt til he looked outside that he saw that the Fire Department was on the next block, and he walked over to see what was going on, and saw, three houses blazing away. Apparently the middle caught fire and set the other two off, since there is about five feet seperating each house on that block, (way too close for my comfort).

It wasnt til my Cuz went home, and we watched the lat night news, that we learned of the tragic death of the teenager that lived in the home. The Parents apparently wasnt home, and the fire started in the kitchen???

My Daughter knew the young lad, and he was a Football Player from Steubenville High School, so, the entire Comunity mourned his loss and the tragedy that surrounds the family. Lee West, may you rest in peace, as you were taken too young, but, the LORD had need of you more than this World did.

I also read in the oneline Newspaper the next day, that a guy I knew from Grade School died. That makes about five people I think, that I grew up with, (had the same people in the class from kindergarten to sixth grade), so I sent my condolences to his Sister, who was also in my Class, on FaceBook. Im suprised that, out of maybe eighteen people, five are gone, and Im still here!!! Im hoping to outlive all of them LOL

Wife came in from the Thrift Store and called her Brother up, said, she bought a treadmill for me!! Uhhh, yea.... Im barely walking, and now, you want me to start doing THAT??? ROTFLOL.. Well, its one way to get me motivated I reckon ... Though, I couldnt use the last one she got, but, she says this one is like brand new!!! OK, I dont care if it serves me coffee, if it doesnt go slow enough, I will have to put the dog on it, and have a leash attached, like the Jetson Cartoon and watch 'it' exercise LOL...

My eyes are blurring up a whole heck of a lot lately, since I came out of the hospital...
I know, its time for me to get new glasses, but, i think Im getting low in something also. Maybe my potassium could be down, but, I do know, I was cramping up last night, REAL BAD, so, Im betting my electrolytes are down again, and there is no way of knowing, unless I go to the Doctors to get tested. The Doctor from the Hospital, never returned my call yesterday, so, I dont think I will be going to him, (though, I did ask if he would acceptt me as a patient, the Staff says a lo of peopl ask that, and he always says yes...but, since they never called me back, Im taking that as a hint... NOOOOO!!!!! GET LOST, and go back to yhour own physician sheesh! I hate people lying to me. If he didnt want my business, then just say NO. If you cant, then change your Profession!!

Gonna start taking some vitamins to get some 'stuff' in me and hope, til I get to see some one, be it this guy or my regular Doctor, to get my blood tested and see what is going on with my eyes. No sense getting new glasses if my eyes are whacked out...

OK, Wife just got back, Brother in law will bring treadmill in later, still on his truck...

Legs are swelled up 'hard', and feet are swelled up like boxing gloves again, so, Wife is putting me on fluid restrictions ROTFLOL...At least at the Hospital I could cheat ...Though, I let them 'know' I was... Wife would sking me alive if she find out I was... Good thing I never bought her a tazer... she might try to 'jump start' me if I crossed that gal...

OK, nuff for now...

I wish you well...
