You throw limes at them...LOL i would too if i had some limes. :P
.. nothing that I know of. We are just waiting...I think all done.. :)
I would like to throw them, at the dentist when he hurts me. But hey next dentist visit, It would be great if I could send them for you to toss at the dentist. Imagine their surprise!
, , , .. as far as I know no prizes yet. Last I heard GreenRowan was waiting for some to be sent.. or was it final score? We were waiting for something. If I hear anything will let you all know.
Now we're haven fun. :) Got another crown put in...gold this time and feels so much smoother than other one.
Dont say crowns, my last one was heck, the prep work for it was very painful. Dentist always has to give me the maximum numbing shots for crowns, and still I have issues.
yea I like it better when I catch that little lizard minion and I get an item as well but that is okay if I didn't get one this time he will be back and when he is I will get him again and I will get back what he came for lol
It's been.. difficult and truth be told there's not much to say about what happening with drilling under lake Oahe and the camps at Standing Rock except we're not there any longer. No one knows the facts behind the chairman and tribal elders saying its done, go away but we do not question them outside our own thoughts. But I'll spare anyone who wanders by my thoughts by spoilering them (for the most part)
My thoughts now
"Hear me now my chiefs!
My heart is sick and sad.
From where the sun now stands,
I will fight no more forever."
Chief Joseph 1877 - Nez Perce
Its 2017 and just a few months ago we found ourselves again in conflict. We stood our ground. We gave it our all only to be again defeated by a signature on a piece of parchment. But this time social media made the rest of the world aware of the indifference that our "fellow Americans" feel toward the only home we have. Earth.
They were also shown the disdain, prejudice and straight hatred some still harbor toward us, the people whose ancestral roots reach deep into the ground on which this conflict unfolded. We are members of the first nation, the original inhabitants of this land and many where those with ancestral roots from across the pond still consider us expendable.
There was a time when many natives said give us back our land or go home. Those days are long gone. I do not expect anyone to go back to where their ancestors came from but is it really too much to ask to be treated somewhat fairly - that the rules that apply to one apply to everyone? Sadly it seems it is and that has changed me at my very core.
As things sink in, one good thing is we are no longer running supplies to the camp. As for me I'm hollow inside. I've seen and heard things that I did not think still happened or were felt toward the first nations people and as everyone knows, once you've seen hate up front and in your face for being what you are, nothing is ever the same in your heart.
We lost. But we made a difference. A huge difference and that's something that has never happened before.
Standing Rock changed the world in many ways. I won't have to look at my kids and say "So you have to drink bottled water because of that pipeline that burst and took out most of the Missouri.. I was in on that, I shot at the people who tried to stop DAPL from drilling under it."
Instead I will forever look in a mirror with pride because by taking a stand for Mother Earth I was taking a stand for my children, their children and their childrens children. Even if it did not change the pipelines fate I know I did right by them. My kids know it. My grandkids know it. As will their children.
There is so much that swirls in my head when I think back on everything I've seen. To go against something backed by trillions of dollars, never did I dream I would be involved in something so insane. And to understand from the beginning it was not going to end well.. and to have all original nations come together?! No one saw that coming. There were over 300 tribal flags flying. A miracle in its own right I think. And now that it's over, I feel strangely hollow inside. Cant quite figure things out yet.
Oh yeah, that's my first priority, I catch myself talking in circles like I use to and thats not good so I'm back on proper meds, and trying to get the diet thing figured out with the budget snugged up tight. It's not as much fun as it was the first time.
Hey =)
tackle hugs and CP Hey doll!
I use to think the more health the longer you last but now Im wondering if its the harder you hit the quicker you win/lose. I don't know what to work on now.

The battle was won dear.On so many levels....hugs
Laurie.. my sugar has gotten out of control lately bringing infections and, along with my other medicines, early cataracts of which the second eye will be next week.....so I am also seeing effects of this disease. I think there are organizations that can help with your medicines.. maybe check those out?
Sending lots of hugs your way!
PS Your work will not be forgotten and your children and family will be proud! You fought for your beliefs and that is more then some do.
Whether anybody says, it or not! You, and your tribe stood up for the nation's (your tribal nation's children and the rest of the U.S. children) children and future children So your stand really spread beyond your tribal land and the flow of the Oahe River that takes care of us all. The Sioux tribe represented itself more than anybody knows, they proved that your voice can be heard across the world with out raising a hand or firing a weapon. A lesson many countries and nations could take a page out of your book. To bring all the nations of Native Americans together in one place in peace and to protest in unity has never been done before, that I am aware of. So I am really really impressed, and so proud of the vets that came to be with you. Saddens me beyond words that corporate dollars and oil are more important than people, the earth and the water we need to survive. Breaks my heart that they even thought to go near ancestral burial grounds, much less dig like they did.
Chief Joseph's words have spoken to me, since I was a child and first read them. The sentiment and strength of Chief Joseph has never left my soul to have spoken such strong in words in a moment in time to last for ever and to inspire generations to come. Knowing his words would save his people, and yet inspire. Amazing!

I have kept quiet during this disaster knowing that you were battling things incomprehensible to me. All I can say now is stand tall and stand proud for what you did. It was not Standing Rock that changed the world but the people like you, who took the challenge head on, despite all odds. Look into the eyes of your children, grand children and their children with dignity and pride knowing that what you did was right and honorable.
People of every race, Friends from everywhere, We all make a difference, when we show the world we care.
Love you.
Going Fishing!!! 🐟
I hope you will have a swift full recovery!
welcome back hugs I need to read everything once I am properly awake.

I take metforman 2x and insulin daily and was doing great so I kinda forgot about the meds being the reason I felt good again I guess. That and so much going on, but my eyes starting to blurr and getting dizzy quickly became the norm when I stopped tracking and taking what I should when I should. We need to be more vigilant I think.
-ie bby! OMG It's been ages! Im half asleep but saw your name and had to come running, you have no idea how much y'all were on my mind this summer! Mainly because of two aussies my niijiikwe Missy met who were heading to camp. Their accent and expert pool playing skillz had her wanting to relocate to the land down under xD
I thank you for what you've said sweet, I can't see how I could have done anything different, or how any of us could have, we can't say you have to respect the land if we don't set the example for them. Not with a clear conscious.
hugs all around Hey , it's been a long time, hope things are good with you hon. I hate to hug and run but it's early morning here and I have to do better about sleep. Im out y'all, it was nice to catch up a little <3

Laurie, I take metformin and invokina was just added.. but have had early cataracts due to blood sugar and my rheumatoid medication plus infections.. We need to take better care of ourselves. Do you take your blood sugar every day? I actually forget to do it.. possibly on purpose though not sure on that.. Good news is final cataract surgery this Tuesday and I'll be done..
Your blurred vision isn't good at all. I assume an eye doctor is keeping watch over it? Between the medicines for the eye surgery, antibiotics, extra diabetic medicine I told my children I feel like a pharmacy. 😜
Maybe http://www.diabetes.org/about-us/?loc=util-header_aboutus Can help you get your medicines at a good cost? Sending lots and lots of hugs!
: I love you too Darling. I just want you to know that all the wee creatures here in Glen Meadow have been praying to the Maker for your safety and health. You are an inspiration to us all and we love you. It is so good to feel your presence once again in the Lair. You are the heart and soul of this wonderful group of folk. I have send you many spirit ( and digital) hugs and kisses, but long for the day when it would be possible to give them to you in person. Until then, keep the faith Dear One, you are loved and cherished. ( I weep with happiness as I write this and realize that it is a little mushy, but it is from my wee little heart )
