Notes...I shot this with my canon hv30. I mistakenly left it in Hi definition mode....this created a problem getting it up on the internet...trust me it is way more complicated to convert...and get the setting right so it even is viewable. but here it is...enjoy

Breast cancer scam

2008-10-27T13:17:00.000-07:00

The MammoSite system is among the thousands of devices the F.D.A. lets onto the market each year after only cursory review and with no clear evidence that they help patients. Doctors are free to use those products as they see fit, without telling patients that the devices are not proved. And because the doctors are frequently paid more by Medicare as a way to compensate them for the extra time and expense of adopting ......read more here

Linens and Crap...Gone!

2008-10-27T12:59:00.000-07:00

Time to celebrate!...another purveyor or made in China useless crap is gone from Missoula, Montana. we went in there yesterday and I was amazed....then we popped over to Ross....same crap there. What does it say about our society that we are addicted to buying ...buying ...buying cheap cheap phoney shit!!

This store contributes zero to our community.....good riddance!

linens and things missoula is dead!

BLOGS, LIFE AND LIVING LIKE A SARDINE...

2008-04-06T09:29:00.000-07:00

OK..OK...I had started this blog to just share fotos, now almost all the fotos I take end up on Logans blog for obvious reasons. Perhaps ill use his one as a rant blog or an R rated non politically correct venue. We will see!

ok where do I start...In the midst of writing this Logan puked all over....usually he makes it to the bathroom....Not this time. He puked on everything....so that means a lot of cleaning and laundry , then re-connecting his NG feeding tube.

Wyatt threw a morning tantrum again, usually happens about every three days and virtually anything can trigger it.....it is really tough on us to watch.

One thing that hasnt been mentioned in Logans blog is the fact that we are 5 in a very small room.....I would say that we are doing pretty darn good.....every one seems to do their part to make it work.

I have had a chance to practic my spanish as there are a lot of Latino people here at Ronald McDonald house....seems a bit disproportionate...but as someone suggested maybe illnesses arew due to toxins and pesticides used in agriculture....??? I enjoy the mexican cooking and speaking with the gente...!!!

we are in Seattle

2008-03-12T16:09:00.000-07:00

we arrived last nite around 10pm, the trip went well except that Becky insited driving some and scared the heck out of me. Logan seems to be doing well...in very good spirits, the only bad thing is that he has a hard time keeping food down, It is very hard to find quality food on the road. A doctor Fong called us today from Dr.Hawkins office (finally), he was a bit cavalier and argumentative, he seemed to have trouble aswering any simple questions. Logan will have a bone and brain scan on friday and we will meet with Hawkins after that. What we have be told is that they will start him on sunitinub(sutent), a relatively new treatment with much better results than immuno-therapy 5-20% response vs 30-50%.

Adjusting.....

Ok, we didnt get the bus...kinda had second thoughts, had to follow my intuition. Good thing because Logan and Becky got the worst possible results back from the cancer scans on Logan.....he has it back. Multiple tumors in his abdomen and back, the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes and his bones. The doctors were very unprepared for these results, and are needing a few days to consult for a plan of action..(treatment). We will all most likely move to Seattle to be with logan during his further treatment and recovery. Everything is up in the air and we will sort the logistics out and make due. Im a little concerned about Lucy and what do do with her, I hope she will be OK.

Wyatt and Hayden did fine in their wrestlin tourney on friday night, they both qualified for th next round which they wont be at.

Everyone is basically shellshocked with Logans recent news yet seem to be adjusting to the uphill challenge. It has been less than 24 hours and it seems like a long wait the next couple of days,when the doctors will be getting in touch with a battle plan.

First check up and the Florence showdown

2008-03-06T09:59:00.000-08:00

Becky and Logan left this morning for Seattle to get his first check up, they are travelling with Selina and Mathew, should be a good time. I feel confident that logan will get through his scans fine but thats easier for me to say and feel, Becky of course has her mind spinning with all the scenerios.

The other day we discovered a water leak in the pool house...its a damn mess, and it is my fault(sort of). It will be a lot of work, we had a plumber out to fix the leak and he let all 3 dogs out of thier kennel. Well when it was all said and done, I had to pay the government $240.oo to get the dogs out...they were gone all of 2 hours.

All three kids have been wrestling and there is a tournament this friday...Hayden has yet to lose this year and Wyatt has made great progress since last year. should be fun to see them compete.

I got a call back on a bus, 35ft.(greyhound type) that I inquired on a few months ago and they offered to sell this beast on wheels to me for a price I cant refuse....gonna pick it up tomorrow and will post those lovely photos then. This will be our long distance travel rig.

2008 WHERE WILL WE GO?

2008-02-22T07:20:00.000-08:00

Seems like time is always standing still untill I look at a calender, Spring will be very welcome. Worldwide news involves Kosavo all of a sudden, another group claims independence and somehow people are upset with the USA again. In our national news its good ole politics as usual...the new version. Obama vs Clinton is fun to watch ...probably scares the hell out of the southern republican fundamentalists, get ready for another civil war!! Clinton (corrupt) is done....thank you! On the Republican side is a mess John McCain is battling himself...what a corrupt old moron is all I can say he wont win....I hope Ron paul keeps a presence or that Ralph Nader jumps in!

On the local Missoula scene seems uneventfull, The big sky film festival is this weekend I wish we had the time to go to some of the showings but we will be busy. Wyatt and Hayden have wresting matches and Becky and Logan have a fundraiser event for the Jaydenfred foundation. Logan is trying out wrestlin after his cancer surgery and it has been a little rough for him...but it is good way to rehabilitate himself and he is being a trooper. We spend 3 nites a week at practice, they all seem to have a healthy determination to do well and that is nice to see.

Click on the pictures and you will be taken to a picassa public web gallery. When you are there you will see the pictures larger and have options to down load them(I think). I had made another web/blog with a photo element ..it was more or less an experiment, Becky emailed links to that site for friends and Family....well guess what folks...its not there!!! Well the good news is that if you are here you are in the right space.....feel free to leave comment...are to send me photos i will be glad to add them...
