2. What trait do you have that irritates other people? Mmmm.. I know what traits I have that Irritates Hubby and the Kids. Without sounded like the “Perfect Angel” I really can’t recall anyone ever saying “When you do xxx that irritates me.”  When I’m frustrated (which seems to be an ongoing feeling) about let say the phone bill.

4.  What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? 1. I want to drift http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifting_(motorsport) our 300Z at high speeds on a mountain along a winding road that over looks the ocean. Failing would be loosing control and driving over the side and ending up on the “Other Side”. (We don’t live where there are mountains, although I do live very close to the ocean without the narrow winding road)

2. Intentionally be defibrillated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillate go into cardiac arrest to visit the “Other Side”, and then be successfully resuscitated without any complication or injury to my heart or brain. To experience the journey of death, and be able to share my experience when I return to this dimension.

5.  What sense would you give up if you had to? I’m a smoker so sadly my sense of Taste and Smell is not that of one who has never smoked. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste. Sorry didn’t really answer the question…

7. Do you have a weird memory from when you were a kid?  Sharing Very Personal Info: When I was 8 or 9 I was inappropriately touched and had another sexual act done to me, not penetration. This inappropriate behavior was by a neighbor who was then had to be in his 50’s, and lived in the same apartment complex.  I knew it wasn’t right but I remember it felt good. After that occurred I made a point to never see this man again. I never told my parents. Weirdly, I don’t consider myself to have been molested, or sexually assaulted. This never affected my sexuality, relationships nor my self-esteem.

8. Do you believe that open toed high heels are inappropriate attire for a female to wear to work? No. I personally don’t care for wearing any open toe style shoes.

10. Can you tell me about one of the most beautiful vistas you have ever seen? Many, many, many moons ago. One night while driving home from visiting the Chicago Aquarium. We were listening to N.P.R. http://www.npr.org there were no other radio stations other than religious or country music available. As we began to listen to this incredible music by Hearts Of Space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts_of_space. We entered into a Lightening Storm. As the music played the night sky lit from one horizon to another. We had entered into a dimension where music and energy were in rhythm. We were in awe by listening to the music while being treated to this light show provided by the universe. Words can’t possibly describe this Once In A Life Time Experience. To have seen the Intensity of this Light show in combination with the most beautiful musical accompaniment was beyond seeing any laser/music show. 220px-Lightnings_sequence_2_animation

     I don’t recall the title of the song we listened to that night. I wanted to share a piece of this beautiful music.

11. If you could instantly have another education and full range of knowledge about a subject mater that would put you in a career you can’t have right this moment, what would it be? Law to attain my degree as an Attorney, and then to retain a seat as Circuit Judge.

My Dear Readers,

It’s been 1 year since I started my blog.

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank All the Wonderful Authors, Writers, and Bloggers that I have connected with within our community. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of everyone.

You Have All Touched My Life.

I have not posted nor been active in our community lately, and I would like to share why.

After having my lumbar spine fused with plates and screws in 2003. I was left with Intractable Lumbar Pain.

I have had an implanted pain pump for the last 10 years. My now 2nd pump battery was due to shut off at the end of January 2014.

Our medical insurance changed leaving me to pay out an outrageous deductible before any payment for medical services would be payed out at 80%.

As a result my pump shut off and I was placed on pain pills. There is a Significant difference having medication delivered directly into my spine to manage my pain and a pill.

This has left me depressed, in pain, and my quality of life has taken a downward spiral.

In January of this year I had a chest x-ray as part of pre-operative orders.

(this was before finding out the insurance coverage deductible)

I have Ground Glass Nodules, and a few masses throughout my lung fields.

I’m in the process of seeing a Pulmonologist.

I’m still left in the same position of not being able to have a lung biopsy due to the F$%*ing insurance.

I went from living for me a somewhat active life, to being completely sedentary,

Frustrated, and depressed.

Please know I miss reading and commenting on All Your Works of Art.

With Much Love to All My Friends,

Anastasia
