Tia.

This is the oldest person I have ever known personally. She is my friend A's ( from Ottawa) aunt, or more precisely, great aunt, as she's his mother's aunt. They call her Aunty or Tia which is Spanish ( they're from Chile) for Aunty. She had a birthday just the other day and turned 101 years old! Before that the oldest person I knew was a Jehovah's Witness man who was in his late 90's. I remember Tia from back in the 80's when we were neighbours. They lived across the street from us and  I remember going over to their house for dinner for Christmas after Midnight Mass and Tia made the BEST homemade turkey  stuffing I've ever had! I think I know her secret to living so long: she never married or had kids! She did have a Great Love once but he died in WWII. it's so sad. She's the nicest, sweetest lady ever and I was surprised when I re-connected with A (he's now a lawyer and his sister is a doctor) that she's still alive because she was old then but I was glad to hear it.

As well my hubby went to the doctor about his ear I thought sounded like an inner-ear infection and sure enough it was.....but he also had him look at his arm that has  a big lump on it and hurts....and it's a tumour! Hopefully it's just a lipoma or something; a harmless fatty tumour and NOT cancer but he's getting an ultrasound this week to find out more. I have to say I wasn't expecting that and how weird would it be if we both have cancer? I'm so run-down tired today(and yesterday) I slept in an hour late! I wonder too if my hubby might be poisoning Buddy too and that's what's causing his episodes as it's always after he eats and now he won't go near his food and only eat my left-overs I give him under my supervision....and the other day I gave my hubby some of his left-over beef and he wouldn't eat it saying it wasn't fresh but it made me wonder if something more might be going on....like maybe he poisoned it and doesn't want to eat it because he knows it's been tampered with....

The 12 YR old also got mad at me yesterday for dinner I only gave him one mini pizza and not two(even though I also gave him broccoli and taco bites with it) but there were only 2 of them left so he and the 16 YR old got them and I was planning on having one for my dinner too but we didn't have enough so I had to go without and only ended up having a yogurt for my dinner, so I basically had nothing to eat and he complains that he only got one when I got none! I also overheard my mother telling the 12 YR old to scratch her back too and it makes me wonder if  she has him wipe her ass too....
