My doctor has no idea how to take me. Last visit I told the ladies in reception I was coming back as a pirate since I was on crutches. They thought it would be funny and I should do it. Never give encouragement to an idiot. We don't think it through.

Big gaudy pirate's captain's hat with gold braid, red, black feathers, etc. Big heavy gold earrings, Black sheen polyester, double breasted, culotte jump suit. Trust me, by the time I pulled up in front of the VA I was doubting my own sanity. There was no turning around to go home and change. One hundred sixty five miles one way. So in I went, as a female pirate captain on crutches.

"Oh! You said you were coming back as a pirate. Everyone, look at our pirate." The ladies came out of their offices to look, joke, and laugh at me and with me. "Where's your parrot?" Along with a lot of comments and yes it was worth it. I had painted a couple dozen pennies with gold paint to be my 'pieces of eight' and gave them to the ladies.

The funniest part was when I found a seat. Bless their hearts, those crusty ol veterans left a big hole in the seating arraignment around me. Trust me guys and gals, what I have isn't catching but I wish it was. Humor, able to laugh at one's situation no matter what. Want to keep your sanity? Have as much fun with life as we can because it's too tough and too short to take seriously.

Last week I read where over 40 million babies were murdered before they were born. These are God's perfect life, no sins, no evil. Infanticide is promoted in VA by Governor. It's okay to kill the baby after birth if you don't want it. We have people in gov willing to take from those working and give to those who aren't. They don't mind giving away everyone else hard labors but not their own as they voted themselves automatic pay raises. Wars and rumors of wars. MSM is hoping to make people hate their neighbor instead of focusing on the real problems our own government and society is wallowing in. I'm sick and tired of the mess this world has become. There won't be any hesitation next time God asks me if I'm ready to turn in this mortal life and cash out.

Does anyone need to ask why I poke fun at this messed up world we find ourselves living in? I know for a fact God has a sense of humor. He made me! Laugh at me or laugh with me but take time to look at the funny side of life. The ugly part of life is easier to take when you do.

Doc is young, beautiful, long black hair. When I crutched into her office..., "Avast I'm here to see the wench with the dark hair who practices in the black arts..., sorcery, magic...., witchcraft."

She and the nurse are looking around for the "wench". She looks at me and says. "Where?"

Pointing at her, I was kinda surprised and chuckling. What kind of life has she had where there was no fun and games? Halloween? Make believe? Training to be a doctor is a long hard pull but jeeze girl, did she lose the best part of herself in that?
always,
Barb
