I should not watch TV

I get emotionally drained and quite angry after too much TV. There is so much violence and we are exposed to so much really negative energy and events through the TV set. It is scary. The stations should look at their programming and try to beam some more positive and peaceful programs to air. I get so angry about this climate change. We need to put solar panels on every rooftop in Australia. Do you know how much energy would be saved by using the sun and wind energy? We need to save and recycle... Sign in to see full entry.

A Wing Beat

Stepping off into spaces Entering into places Yet unexplored Searching for a foothold Finding none. Free falling on prayer The wings of hope have ways Of beating faster With desparation When the ultimate goal Is survival. If G-d watches this game Let my team be the equal Of the other on the field.

The trouble with psychological injury

is that you have no bleeding gaping wound to show. You have no amputated limb or scars to show. Say for example, someone comes into your workplace or a senior employee takes to you with a baseball bat and smashes you around the head with it. You get a broken skull and brain damage you are in a better position to file for damages, than if you are the victim of harrassment and bullying in the workplace. Your scars may be not visible to the eye, but they are still there. They are visible mostly... Sign in to see full entry.

I am quite desparate at the present time to know which way to turn...

Events of the last few weeks with my WorkCover case……. 15 th July, 2008 10.30 am Mark Flynn (my solicitor) is meant to contact me with regard to a pre conference talk with him. He does not contact me. 11.00 am Daniella (?) from the Gensis Teleconferencing rings me to check that I am ready to conference. I reply in the affirmative and she says that everyone else is on line except my solicitor. We try for the next 45 to 50 minutes to get him on line. He is unavailable though I can get through to...

Will It Be A Mad Hatter's Teleconference?

Our Alice in Wonderland Day! Thursday 24 July, 2008 - 19:19 by why not ILANA? in Default views (3) | rating (0 votes) After being extremely pissed off at my lawyer, I now do not really know what to think. Let me explain. I got a call at about 4.30 pm or thereabouts from him telling me that the Workcover Commission had called him to inform him that I had said to them (the Workcover Commission) that he and his law firm were no longer representlng me? I would have understood that to have been in... Sign in to see full entry.

Can you trust Doctors?

Can you trust Doctors? Thursday 24 July, 2008 - 06:12 by why not ILANA? in Default views (4) | rating (0 votes) I have spent the early hours of the morning awake and worrying. for the last three years, my son has been on Parachoc almost consistently for constipation. I have been going through all this stuff about him having a learning difficulty which some people are trying to say to me is an intellectual disability like autism. On the Parachoc bottle is the following warning: Not to be given to... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you Qualified?

I have just had someone come to my house to look at sharing a room. I have put an ad up to rent a room in the house I am renting. It has four big bedrooms. She is an older woman who is from South Africa. Very snooty lady. She is presently sleeping in the lounge room on the sofa at her daughter's house. That I can't quite understand because if it was my mother, I would probably give her my bed and bunk in with Nir in his room. However maybe there is method in the daughter and son-in-law's...

Sick and tired and Pi$$ed off

That is why I haven't been blogging. Too much to reflect on and there was a fast day today. A good day for a fast but I have to deal with other issues. A meeting with my counsellor to untangle my mind from the many different directions it is taking - looking at the options available or not available to me. Life moves fast and I don't have time for writing. It upsets me. I need to write and the pressure builds up. I love writing as it relaxes me and allows me to unwind. Sign in to see full entry.

My Teleconference did not happen!

Well it has been an interesting day and I do not know who has been more devious. The conference with the Workcover Commission Arbitrator was lined up and then they could not get a hold of my solicitor on the line. (???) I am thinking that this is going to be home and hosed and we are going to finally get moving on this and tie up the loose ends when after an hour of trying, my solicitor can not be contacted. The conference was due to start at 11am. The landlines were down, but the strange thing... Sign in to see full entry.

The Chill factor in Life...

I sometimes don't know whether to love or hate my mother. I can feel so upset with her and the next moment I feel sad and soft for her. I let myself cool off after our last conversation. We talked today. She has had a terrible day.My brother who lives a local call away from her, doesn't call her every day. I am living in Melbourne and call her every day just about. She lives in Qld. She is lonely and fills her life with TV. Her back aches and she has wrinkles. (Who doesn't at 87?) Believe me,... Sign in to see full entry.
