OT Exactly Which Deity is ticked Off?
Allow me to repeat myself from a previous post... AGH! AGH! AGH! AGH! Where is that freaking barn door? I NEED to kick the stupid thing to splinters! The latest horror visited upon me and mine? My grandson Damien has a MRSA infection. His mother (DD1) just discovered that the landlord changed all the locks while she was out tending to Damien. So far as she knows there is no especial reason for the landlord to have done this, but he has been acting "kind of creepy" around her lately. Apparently he was extra creepy when she called him to ask what was going on. Yes she has a lawyer she can call, and has promised to do so first thing in the morning. Obviously she can't come stay with us right now. The only other person who is willing and able to take them in on such short notice is that drunken abusive &^*^&(*&*&* that calls himself Damien's father. Because of the infection she can't even go to one of the few shelters in this county. The doctors hope the infection is under control. The poor mite has been cut and drained, and bandaged, and has to take some seriously high powered antibiotics. His doctor is pretty sure the infection is still confined to the skin. His mom has already been in touch with one of the local charities and gotten all the things she needs to tend him properly, at least until she can get the things she already has out of her apartment. This evening is the first time I have heard about the infection. I am just about spitting goose quills here. I want to zoom up to where she lives and kick some butt, DD's included for waiting to let me know about the infection. Though I reckon she figured with me being under the weather and all that she didn't want to burden me. I need to have a conversation with some deities and find out just WHAT THE HECK!! NightMist -- I'm raising a developmentally disabled child. What's your superpower? |

OT Exactly Which Deity is ticked Off?
You know, I don't subscribe to that belief that God (or any other deity that a person calls on) sends bad stuff to test us or make us better or ... whatever. I believe that when we got free will (that thing that separates us from the rest of the sentient creatures on this Earth) we also had to take the whole shebang. Everybody got free will -- creeps, microbes, viruses, the weather, you name it. Just a whole bunch of nastiness and chaos got tossed out because that's what free will is all about. Choices. So we get smacked and beaten down and starved and abused. Because the creeps have free will.. And so do the cells in our bodies that turn into cancer and tumors. And (I'm sorry, I really am) but I believe that some people choose evil. Deliberately.
So there you are. No deity out to get you. No fist to shake at the heavens, or trees or rocks or wherever. Just a hope that we can pray and light candles and talk to our Creator and push that darkness and chaos back a bit. Or find comfort in the midst of the crazy and pain. Because my God is there, hurting with MRSA and in anguish because that precious little one is in pain and your sweet daughter is desperate and your heart is breaking and you can't do anything. My God is with you, with them, holding their hands and your, whispering that love will win in the end, Light will break and morning will come and the battle is worth fighting. And I'm going to put a big ol' whammy on that creepy landlord and that piece of .... ex and then ask for forgiveness. Hugs and thinking of you, Sunny |

Well said, Sunny. Couldn't have done it better. If anyone needs MRSA in
simple terms, it is a 'super bug' that is resistant to just about everything. Recently I had to take a round of amoxicillin which was really rough and they say MRSA is unaffected by it. A friend of mine picked up MRSA in the hospital and he had quite a battle getting rid of it. Polly "Sunny" wrote in message news:32866848.162.1320713652195.JavaMail.geo-discussion-forums@prmu13...

OT Exactly Which Deity is ticked Off?
It's at times like this where I look at all the crap that is
happening and just think "Karma" 'cuz there is NO OTHER explanation. My DSis is one of those who tries her best, works her ass off, does everything right, make4s good decisions, etc., etc., etc. She still ends up with a s*it sandwich on her plate. If it wasn't for bad luck that poor woman wouldn't have any at all. So -- that being said, I honestly feel for you and your family. I am sending "good stuff" along with kitty kisses (they will heal anything :-) ) to you and your DD. All I can recommend is to stay as positive as possible and let the "world" sort of pass you by.
