Shameless Plug.

The 21 YR old has podcasts out now, called I'm Talking Waffles  and you can find it here:

https://imtalkingwaffles.wordpress.com/im-talking-waffles-episode-list/

On it she discusses her life adventures, whethere it be with her siblings, when she was in school, adventures moving, etc. She's actually a writer but she does podcasts as well and they are available here if anyone is interested. I also included the amazing artwork pictured here above that she comissioned a graphic artist to do of her portrait(based on the photo below) and I was just blown away! Isn't it just great? They did a really good job and it looks just like her,too!I remember decades ago my hubby had a graphic artist friend at work at his old job back in Ottawa too and just for a joke he drew a really funny cariacature of him too complete with emphasis on his big bald forehead, beady little eyes and pointed nose and he still has it even to this day and it looks just like him! Yesterday the 13 YR old also said to me I don't obey the gov't so why should he have to obey me but the thing is I don't obey unjust laws and I don't think me telling him to do his schoolwork or to put the garbage and recycling out is "unjust" and he's not exactly being oppressed and I do obey God;I still do have a higher authority, a Boss I defer to and obey, it's just NOT the gov't!

I also heard on the local news that there was a drive-by shooting on a street just a couple of streets over from ours and they kept firing into a residence around 9 pm and it's scary; even though the police said it was targeted( most likely drugs or gang related) still anyone could be in danger if they happen to be outside on the street walking and get hit in the cross-fire; you could still be out walking your dog, or going to the corner store, or walking home from work, or whatever and still get hit.My abdomenal pain still keeps getting worse too. It's been really bad for the past 2 weeks or so and even worse for the past 4-5 days and yesterday so bad I pretty much just slept thru most of the day and also squirted out diarrhrea so much now I know what a mustard bottle must feel like, and if I had to take a guess I would guess it's probably most likely colon cancer, esp. since I did have those colon polyps around 3 years or so ago which often precede cancer plus it also does run in my mother's side of the family too which also puts me at higher and increased risk and at times the pain is a deep gnawing kind of like when I had the stomach ulcers, so is it possible to have ulcers in the colon,too, perhaps......I notice I'm also peeing less the past couple of days too so my kidneys must be getting worse as well and one of my Facebook  friends says she not only puts ketchup on her Kraft Dinner macaroni and cheese(which is gross enough!) but she also puts pickle juice  on it,too! Yeeeeccchh! What kind of godless heathen does such a thing? Eww!

Life Lesson from my dog: Just piss on it and walk away.
