CANCER

It's everywhere, all around me.....This is the devasting list of how cancer has sadly touched my life:

1 Friend - Ovarian Cancer
2 Moms at School - Breast Cancer
1 Friend on Tennis Team - Lung Cancer
1 Friend on Tennis Team - Breast Cancer
1 Friend of Friend - Pancreatic Cancer
1 Friend - Pancreatic Cancer
1 Mother - Skin Cancer
1 Mother-in-law - Skin Cancer
1 Friend - Skin Cancer
1 Father - Prostate Cancer
1 Son's Guitar Teacher - Prostate Cancer
3 Friend's Moms - Breast Cancer
2 Friend's of Friend - Breast Cancer
Our Dog - Bladder Cancer

Is there anyone out there who does NOT know someone with cancer? What is happening, what has happened, what did we do? As a child I didn't even know the word, "cancer" - my children think I have cancer every time I get sick. They are afraid to get cancer. Today it's not about "if I get it", it's more "when will I get it"? Is something really being done, or is it too late to undo the damage already done to our environment and our lifestyles? Microwaves, cell phones, computers, pesticides, nuclear power, plastics, etc. common sense tells us they can't be helping. Larger powers say "moderate use" is safe. Larger powers want us to buy their products. Am I the only one who's scared?

Celestino Drago & His Barking Dog

Hi Blogging Friends:
I'm back to air a grievance that maybe some of you can relate to. Famous L.A. Chef, Celestino Drago, moved in across the street from us and brought his annoying barking dog with him! I work from home 4 days a week now and it is unbearable! I have filed a complaint with the City, 2 actually. And now have a hearing set for next week. Has anyone ever been through this, what can I do to stop it? My kids can't sleep, I can't work, my head is aching, we can't entertain outdoors, etc. I've gone over there 2 times but no one is ever home. Perhaps I will try when it is quiet, I think that is when the dog is inside & they are home. I have really wanted them to be home when the dog barks so they can't accuse me of hearing things. This is the worst thing I have ever been through in our neighborhood since we moved in 12+ years ago. I LOATH DRAGO!!!
