  1. Just a little update for ya'll about your resident author....I have 11 books published, lost 100 pounds, and moved to Michigan. That doesn't mean I don't stay updated with the SE states, though...lol. My kids are still in Ga, so have to.

    One of the last books I've published so far...

    sorry to hear you moved. Is that book about a mean case of blue****s?

    I shouldn't let Rachel see that book. She might get.... Ideas. :)

  2. Here is a picture of me taken two weeks ago. For about three days I looked like the Michelin man as my entire body was swollen and in addition I had blisters and a rash all over my body. Had a fever that exceeded 103 for over 36 hours and was the first time I ever went to the hospital for an illness. I was diagnosed with Measles of all things which I had contracted after visiting a refugee camp in Zamboanga City a week earlier. I have since returned to normal aside from having extremely dry skin. I would not wish measles on anyone.

    You weren't vaccinated against measles? BTW, jburns can photoshop those measles right off!

  3. A year ago I started on a journey that was, at the time unknown to me, either was going to kill me or make me a healthier and much stronger person.  I didn't make myself a stronger person, though.  Ended up almost killing myself.  But, in the meantime I did get healthier, well, in a way.  The two pics were taken 3 years apart.  Hard to believe it's the same person.

    Great job DawgKitteh. 

  4. Not to be an attention whore, but here is where we set up just so Burns doesn't think we camped in front of the sign.  :)

    The great thing about camping in December at state parks is you have the place to yourselves.  Wasn't a soul there when we arrived.  ;)

    Nice... I need to take my camper out soon.... after I move into my new house in a few weeks.

    Researchers are warning public health officials of a potentially deadly infection that can quickly begin to kill people after deadly tornado outbreaks. Studies by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Translational Genomics Research Institute focused on the deaths from infections in the Joplin, Mo., 2011 tornado disaster zone. They found some were infected by the fungus Apophysomyces, which is common in the soil, wood or water. It usually has no effect on humans. But when it is stirred up by tornado-force winds and enters deep puncture wounds caused by debris, it can spread uncontrollably through the body if not caught early. Five of the 13 people infected with it around Joplin died within two weeks of the tornado that devastated the community. Once the infection begins to ravage the body, the only option is to surgically remove sections of dead, damaged or infected tissue, in a process known as debridement. “There's clearly an entire world out there that we're not seeing on a regular basis. It takes a severe event like this tornado for us to come face-to-face with some of the more dangerous pathogens out there,” said David Engelthaler, former State of Arizona Epidemiologist.
