Amputee life before and after...

Tuesday, May 08, 2007

~Good And Bad Day ~

Today started off really great.. I got a wonderful gift delivered by
the UPS truck.. I heard the door and saw the truck pulling away
from the curb. I opened the door and there was a box sitting
a little ways down the ramp away from the door. I couldn't get
it unless I went totally over the door facing which would mean
backing up and into the house which would be very hard to
do..Plus the fact Dutch was right there and when that door is
opened at all he feels the magnet pulling him out there.. :-)
I went and got a sponge mop I had at the apt. I had to get it
out the other day when Dutch spotted a bug on the ceiling,
just slowly crawling, he went nuts. I had to use it to get the bug
down or he would have climbed the walls I think..

I went and got the same mop thingie and used that when I
opened the door wide enough, this whole time having to
watch for 2 cats one in front of me, and one behind in the
bedroom.. I had to back into the bedroom door to open
the front door wide enough to reach the box, I used the mop
thingie and pulled it to me..and it was very light weight. I
got it inside and the door closed and neither of the cats
got even close..Im getting good at this.. I pushed the box
over to the couch and picked it up and put it on there so I
could open it.. When I did I saw a new digital camera...It is
so very nice..and very small too..fits in the palm of my hand.
It has a card and a cord so I can download either way..Its
so nice. An Argus..5 megapixel.. From a dear friend that I
think go tired of me griping about not having one any more.
And besides the fact hes a dear sweet friend...Thanks :-)

To get to the part that ALMOST ruined my wonderful day, I
have decided not to let it bother me as much as it has when
This has happened to me 2 other times. Someone has been
rude, and disrespectful of me again and taken 4 photos of
me and posted them on a Yahoo group for BBW women.
The post was made on Sunday, 6th. just 2 days ago. I am
VERY upset about this.. I willingly post photos HERE and I
will send photos..just ask..I do NOT allow my photos to be
put ANYWHERE but on YOUR computer. They are NOT to
be shared , traded OR SOLD. I get VERY upset about this.
I am very open, honest, and respect everyone I meet. I
expect the same in return.

A yahoo ID of fbowers63 is who posted the photos of me
there. I had this happen twice before and I do NOT appreciate
the abuse of my good will in sharing photos etc . This hurts my
feelings. Many women have their photos on that site..and I
am sure that MOST do NOT know they are there, that NO ONE
thinks they care..I DO..And ANYONE that sees my photos other
than on this site or that yahoo ID of mine..Let me know.. This
is about the most horrible.. How would the person that did this
like photos of his wife? or mother ? or child? put other than where
HE had put it? For anyone to see and not at the aware ness of
the person.. That is SO wrong and I am ashamed that this is being
done..I do NOT understand the need a person would have of
putting someones photo where THEY wanted it? To make them
selves look good? To get members to the group? This is so
wrong to use other people..

Did you know for just BBW groups on Yahoo that there are over
1600 of them? That there are over 1400 amputee groups not
including the disabled ones.. I don't understand all of this and I
really try very hard to..To understand what a man gets out of
doing this.. I say man because that is usually who does this. I
think this is the most horrible display of disrespect for an amputee.
I like me.. I like who I am , how I look I am ok with..well its the best
I can do :-) but, I share and very willingly..for someone to show
so little disregard for my feelings I think its awful.. I posted two
messages on the group and sent a email to the moderator that
most of the photos are posted by him.. I asked to have the photos
of me removed. Hopefully they will be. This had never happen
again.. The photo I put here Sunday in the pink, was one of the
photos in that BBW group..pitiful have to steal to make them
selves look good... And the owners and moderators allow it
and Yahoo makes you almost go to court to get anything done.
Its sad..

Anyway, I am not letting this overpower my happy for getting this
new camera.. I am just so pleased.. I cant wait to try it out.. Then
I can have penny take some photos of outside. I can see what
all is growing then.. Out of the bathroom window I can see the
Lilac bushes and a gorgeous tree I think is a black walnut or
something.very dark leaves..just so pretty ..theyre down in the
corner of the fence. I am so anxious to see it all..


I know Im anxious to go and eat too ..I was happy and mad so
many times today I didn't even eat.. I don't even know what it
was as I didn't go and look..something awful probly..their
stuff has NOT improved.. This photo stuff is just eating my
lunch ... and supper too... "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear ? Love ya ..and Thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe
until I write again..

    I had a friend come to visit from Pittsburgh. He comes twice a year and we go out to eat in NYC. I am trying to rent rooms in my new house. I go on-line for less than an hour a day. My point is - who has time to put photos on the net. I do not even have time to visit those various yahoo groups.

    Dearest dear one!
    Congratulations to all of us, and mostly you! A new camera!!! Wow havent we all waited for this? : )
    About the photoposting, can you say wich group it was in, mebbe we cud get to be members so that we can investigate who it is? Would be nice to punch his nose mentally!
    I used to visit sites before as i told you before, mebbe my name is still there and i can visit them and look for pics of you! I shall check!
    Before your own Sherlock "Rob" Holmes, or James "Rob" Bond get to work he wishes you a very wonderful day, with your new toy (read camera).....
    Kisses all over my dear Lois
    From your own
