Well I hope they tell you what you're going to do before they do it. That's the
one thing that drives me crazy. Some people don't explain what's going to
happen. Not really drives me totally off the wall. Well I don't know if anybody
on the list just listening to the world series but I'm listening to it on the
Mets feet. So that's pretty good. I'm listening to it on local radio. They're
doing the pregame show. I think it's going to be an awesome game. The knees
feel better today but I think I need to get some work done. A number cause I
want to be able to go up-and-down stairs and then go up and down curbs. That
even hurts too. So I need to get it done. Right now it's pouring rain windy and
in the 60s. It's going to stay this way all night. And we're also going to get
thunderstorms maybe. But anyway the knees do feel better but I'm not gonna let
this go.

Hi, kathleen,
I know the injections hurt but they’ll help you in the long run. If it’s the
same injections I take, you have to take a series of 3 of them every 6 months
at least. Some people can wait a year before getting their next series of
injections. Just take deep breaths. That’s what I do when I’m getting the
shots.

Yes it probably is. Well I'm going to colony Place tomorrow and see if I can
get an appointment. I asked a friend of mine he thinks he knows where this
one places. But he told me not to try to focus on the needle and maybe bring
some music. I wish they had music at the place while they were doing the
injections. Because it's a series of 15 minute once. I think you go get one
and then you go back and get some more. I'm not looking forward to it but oh
well. But anyway I had never heard of this Neptune Society it sounds kind of
interesting. Well I tried to play around with safari last night and I found
this website for green burials. But it wasn't really that accessible. So I
may have some people at the church. But I hate to say this Linda I'm getting
a little bit depressed and down because I'm having trouble going upstairs and
curbs and stuff like that. So it's kind of hindering my ability to travel. So
when I get this straightened out maybe I'll feel a bit better. So I got to
get the shoulder fixed too. When I get all this done maybe all the pain go
away. What in Wayland if you have any more shoulder treatments? What are you
going to have your next one? Is it doing any better? I sure hope so. What a
pain in my right shoulder goes for my right shoulder into my forearm. So they
may have to do a lot more work with that. But I don't know. We'll just have
to see what happens. Needs come first then the rest. But anyway that's the
way that goes. Tonight I had kraft macaroni and cheese. Not the most healthy
meal but good.

Don’t know what I would have done had my mom not paid for me to be a Neptune
Society member. When my first husband died, and I could have been a member
for $500, my mom wouldn’t fill out the form, but she changed her mind after
she heard about Neptune Society years later on the radio. It’s up to about
$1800 now. I think she was given a discount since she was paying for both

There is also something that Curt and I are going to sign up for here in
California, and certainly it is available in other states. When we die, our
bodies can be donated to a place called Research For Life. They take the
body, use what they can, (for elderly people, transplantation of most organs
is not feasible, but skin and a few things can be donated), and then the
body is used for whatever research is necessary. After it is no longer
needed, it is cremated and the cremains are then hand-carried to a person
who has been designated. If no one has been designated by the person, they
are scattered, can't remember where. Sounds a bit moribund, I know, but it
is info that someone here may need.

that would come up around your death. Explain that you are not married and

did not know that Charles and Karen were Mormon. I had no idea they
were LDS. I thought they were Catholic because they were talking
about going to Ireland and retiring and everything. Because Charles
has family in Ireland. So when this guy stood up and he said he was a

something and she said sister and I thought she was anon but then
once I put two into together and got four I'm like OK that's the way

so she told me she would get my father. Charles took me up and stood
with me. Anyway I talk to him for a while and he said the amateur

But anyway my knees were driving me crazy by the time I got back here.
My friend Robert told me to make an appointment to get the stuff done.
My mother is driving me crazy about making a will and all that kind
of thing. But I don't know who I have is an executor. That's the main
thing. And I told her I wanted to be cremated and such. But I still
don't know if on SSI if I can even get life insurance or anything
because you know how they are about cutting stuff. But I got back
here about after 11 so I'm writing this now. But as I said it was a
nice service. And I'm sure glad my iPhone did not explode. Because if
it would've exploded I would've been pretty badly injured. But yes I
got the Apple store to replace it for free. So I didn't have to pay
for a new one. I never knew a phone could do that but I guess it can.
