Nucky, so glad you and Mrs Nucky are both feeling better. Hope it continues and you both are able to determine the cause and come to resolutions to your ailments - no fun to be in pain.  Continued prayers for good health.
Fw, glad to hear your dilemma about the desk may come to an end. Hoping all works out with the replacement and you can put this awful experience behind you once and for all. When people don't do their part in something and follow through it can be very frustrating and stressful. Hubby and I are experiencing some of that right now as we are in the middle of 3 major things and the only hold-ups are the parts others are supposed to play. It's causing a lot of unneeded stress, extra phone calls, emails, etc - the main reason I have been MIA. It's getting pretty bad around here when I become the calming force in the household. 
BK, keep your chin up. Dealing with getting referrals and prior auths can also be NOTHING but frustrating and stressful. Another situation where you have to rely on others to do their part and all you can do is wait -  Hoping and praying all moves along quickly and smoothly so that you are able to get the things done that you need done and are off to better health too.
Tal, what can I say? You seem to keep yourself busy in many different ways. I'm sure this recent tragic event in TV stirred things up for you a bit. Hope it gives you some direction and motivation to move forward with your project.
And last but by far not least, to the Kommander - in case I don't get on here again beforehand, wishing you and Mrs K a safe and wonderful trip. You will be missed on NOTHING. I think I'm already going through withdrawal - lol. You've said it before to others but now is our turn to say it to you - NOTHING's the same without you. |
I am always working on the 224 613 Project in some form or another. And yes that tragic death at 2:24 AM 3/4/2019 did stir up some memories. Have been working on this since before I started using those two numbers which started after I was a few weeks into the University of California, San Francisco Health Sciences Campus study on stress on the unemployed. I had 4 interviews with a researcher/interviewer at their campus in SF over 17 weeks in 1992-1993. 2-24 is my birthday and the day that Rodney Halbower (the Gypsy Hill killer associated mostly with murders in San Mateo County, CA in the first four months of 1976) murdered my then Earl Wooster High School teacher's daughter Michelle Mitchell near the University of Nevada, Reno campus. They did not identify Halbower as the actual murderer until 2014 after putting the wrong person Cathy Woods in a mental health facility after she confessed falsely to the murder. The community really needed closure and there was a false confession.
I do remember the researcher/interviewer at the UCSF Medical Campus was impressed with the documents I showed her and mailed to them later. She said this after the study was done so as not to interfer with the stress levels being evaluated. She was also a very attractive lady.
My great uncle Roberto killed himself around 1992 just about this time of the year. He drove his car onto a funeral home parking lot in Mesa, AZ and shot himself in his car. He had sent everyone he loved a letter about why he did it with multiple copies enclosed. That still hurt and not for NOTHING. He had a lot of medical problems and did not want to be a burden but I believe my older brother would have welcomed him into his home and helped him with his medical problems.
My great uncle had been my pen pal from 1975 through 1992. Quite a loss for me as we wrote each other almost every week.
I would have shared a lot of this stuff with that interviewer in San Francisco in late 1992 and early 1993.
My 224 613 Project is about getting practical materials into libraries of all kinds to prevent crimes and also help victims/survivors of crimes heal from these crimes by creating localized dialogues in thousands of communities between social workers, psychiatrists, teachers, lawyers, students, librarians, police, victim/witness assistance providers, religious leaders, journalists, physicians, nurses, dancers, movie directors, movie stars, movie studio heads, business leaders, and many many others. Been doing this since 1992 when I started writing victim/witness assistance providers in every US state about what they would like to see in their local community's libraries.
There is NOTHING but a method to my madness. Believe that a lot of universities have students who have noticed and then got involved with this over the last 28 years or so. I have run into some of these students here in the Villages. One was a grand daughter of a friend and she had just left the U of MN to go to another school in upstate MN. This was around 2014. Or maybe 2015.
I have communicated with many Hollywood people on Facebook and other places over the years about this as they are very good at telling stories and communicating in very creative ways. Some of these people are household names; most are not though. And I am often not sure WHOM I am really talking to on Facebook nor on Findlaw back around 2002-2006.
