     Isn’t it fun to have a night out with our best friends! Best friends are very important in our life. That’s why you should never betray or do something horrible to a really close friend. Some advice, friends can last longer than some of our husbands…or wife’s.
     Not to change the subject but actually the same goes for a hairdresser, and not just because I cut hair, but hairdressers last longer than most doctors, dentists or therapists. In fact, more advice, get rid of the therapist because in the long run the hairdresser becomes your stylist as well as your therapist, and it will cost you a lot less.
     Now to get to the point of what I want to say. Here is a photo of myself and two other girls taken Saturday, November 9th. The girl on the right is Nancy, the girl on the left is Kathy. I’m in the middle. They are two of my very good friends. Nancy has been having quite a few problems with her boyfriend of whom she just split up with two weeks ago. Before dinner we were all talking about her breakup. She mentioned to us she has decided to feng shui certain areas of her home. Feng Shui is a Japense way of life…structuring a home, room or any living arrangement to get rid of bad energy. Nancy was then hoping that she can use this technique to get rid of the bad energy in her bedroom that could be left from her relationship. In fact some of the rules in the bedroom for feng shui say, when you experience stress, arguments in bed, or end a relationship, the energy expressed in those disturbing moments linger inside the mattress. So Nancy has decided the best thing to do would be to go out and purchase a brand new expensive mattress. We all know how much that can cost!
The feng shui book gives a couple of other suggestions, if you cannot buy a new mattress. You can implement these solutions to cleanse an old one.
*Place the mattress outside in direct sunlight for at least eight hours. Wave sandalwood incense around it before bringing it back inside.
*Perform a salt burning in the bedroom after an illness, break up, or divorce.
     Now I’d really like to get into this feng shui thing to help clear out the negative energy that could be lingering in MY mattress. But come to think of it I’ve never talked about any of my relationships on this blog, only just a bit…not everything. I do try to have healthy and long term relationships. But sometimes they always don’t come out that way. In fact I go through relationships like a newborn having to change diapers. I try, but that’s just what happens.
     So one of the rules they suggest in the book of feng shui is, buy a new bed, well I thought about trying that solution, but that could cost me a total of five hundred and fifty four thousand dollars…and sixty four cents…and that’s just for the year.
     The second suggestion for the mattress is cleanse it outside in the open air. Now if I decide to cleanse my mattress from the breakups I’ve dealt with in the outdoor air like they suggest, I might as well just leave my mattress outside on my upper deck 99.9% of the year. Then I won’t have to worry about disturbing moments lingering constantly inside the mattress. The only downside is, I live in Truckee which is a snowy resort five months out of the year. A couple of those months temperatures hit minus eleven degrees. So how am I going to sleep outside in one of the coldest spots in the Western Pacific. This solution isn’t sounding to cozy.
     Now getting back to the salt or sandalwood thing….What the heck can that do? Start a fire with the sandalwood maybe, then I’ll be able to use the salt to put it out…Just thinking about the mattress sitting outside clearing out those evil spirts wasn’t sounding so good, so how is a bucket of salt or a branch of sandalwood going to do me any good…So whoever is into this sort of riff raff, I just want to tell you how I feel about any of these self help books on Feng Shui, here’s my thought on that subject…f@#k that …………………..FENG SHUI!

     Just a thought: I do talk alot about Health Insurance in my blog. Especially one of my important subjects, which is…I’m looking for a single guy who has health Insurance. Trying to find better health Insurance Policy in California for my own use and wondering after all the worries, why the heck I even have to have it in the first place, because I think when I get some of my bills the insurance has actually covered a total of 29 cents! 

     Now mind you for the first time in my life I just had to visit the Emergency room last week November 8th. I contiplated for hours in the middle of the night about calling 911. I’m all alone and wondering the pain that developed in my stomach became extremely intolerable, so what the heck should I do. Call 911, or somehow get in the car and get myself down there…what should I do!
    

     But first thing is first…I’ve got to get myself in the shower and get ready to get down there. What if one of the guys are pretty darn cute. I’m not going to let some doctor or ER guy see me looking like a MESS! Anyhow I got myself looking halfway decent and after showering felt like I could hobble down to my car and drive the five minutes to the ER on my own. That probably saved me $1000.00. Unless I would of had that golden Insurance card that government employees hold. The reason being is probably they are so stressed out because of being underpaid, overworked and just godamn pissed of working for the goverment! So they need good coverage. It’s a health issue. That’s another story.

     Anyhow I check myself in to only find a male nurse, pretty good looking to say the least. Thank god I spent a bit more time getting ready. Then the doctor came in. They went through the drill and I answered most of the questions carefully. I mentioned I had rough sex just a week before…with a fireman…and lord knows they have great health insurance! I then said he could have done something to my intestines. Well I told the doctor, you know that sex stuff. He said no…actually I wasn’t there. We went through blood work, blood tests and etc. One test came back positive that I had a UTI infection. What a surprise! The stomach thing was the next issue. Now to bring up a suggestion to the doctor I said well I hate to admit this but maybe the condom is lost somewhere inside which is causing all my pain because I could never find the darn thing. From the look on his face I could see from this small town I live in, they most probably deal with sporting accidents and etc. Not lost condoms inside a woman. An hour went bye and then the doctor procedes to tell me his shift is over and another doctor is going to take over. The look on my face was, you’ve got to be kidding! I’m going to have to explain this to two people who live in a town of 14 thousand. Oh great, just perfect for my already squeaky reputation…just great! Maybe I should add another first name to the already two that I use.                                                                         

     In fact living in LA was so much easier. You can get away with anything! Nobody ever knows what going on with you. People are concerned about them selves. Not kidding, you could be on the front page of the LA Times for a terrible crime, rob 15 banks, run out of every restaurant you’ve had dinner in without paying and still get married to the man or woman of your choice!

     So anyhow the next doctor who continues with my illness now decides to go for the hunt…hunt for the condom. Which meant, papsmear. Well no luck so he mentions maybe the flu, maybe intestional, we will just get you feeling better and start from there. A week and a half has gone bye and I think everthing is finally settling down. The next big step will be…let’s see how much this is going to cost me. How much will be covered by our wonderful Health care system? Serious anyone out there, who is a nice guy with a good gosh darn Health Insurance Policy! I’m available maybe soon! But first thing is first after I start feeling better…I’m going to find that gosh darn condom…
