i like this one

a journey
to find peace hope
as well feeling
more at ease
feeling alive
as where you feel
as needed to complete
a task but yet not
sure as of how
feeling empty
like the cupboards
are empty with no spring
to be attached
as finding that journey
will come to task. by that
blazing star that is about
to fall
as you may feel your
journey is not complete
but look around you
and think again
you have the beauty
of love all around
for there is reality
as your alive and standing
in front of my eye
for there are many heartaches
as i can agree, as life that we know
is always a journey to find the path
of our inner soul
as we can be on a journey
where it never ends
which can be the value of a stronger
soul
to beat all ends of today, tomorrow
and the future
hold on your head up
and stay high

this is outstanding

now what i feel if the man
states they feel
the woman should be in the home
making there meals barfoot and pregant
thats work still but yet there not providing
there own wage.
but the man is very much highly chauvinlist


my parents were selfemployed for 21yrs
and when my mom wanted to go to work
she gave my dad a choice adopt 4boys or work
he said work

PROUD TO BE AMERICAN

PROUD TO BE A AMERICAN

no,, but i have been thinking about her

there seem
to be no void
as i cant open
my eyes
for i feel empty
for unknown
as my soul
feels in ways
that im numb
for unreason
of its own
i can understand
the pain
but yet
wish avoid it
as feeling the
depression
is not a wishful
sight to see or feel
i wish to feel whole
but yet alive
crawl out of the
closet like nothing
was the matter
but im sure many
may not agree
i continue to open my
soul, my mind and spirit
in order to stay strong
but yet not perfect
for that cant be
but braking away and learn
to live for the day..
brake the cycle that was not
ment to be
have the confidence to
succeed but never think
one is failure when there not
as focus on you
and enjoy the space that
has been needed so well

mine has to do
with my tarot readings
so many know me by that
name Queene
the numbers were added
my mingle2 (formally just say hi)

WOW!!!!!!
these are all cool
i especially like the first one

LONDON (AP) — Doctors in Italy have designed a miniature dialysis machine for babies, used for the first time last year to save a newborn girl, according to a new report.

Usually, doctors adapt standard dialysis machines for babies, but that can be risky since the devices can't always be accurately tweaked. About 1 to 2 percent of hospitalized infants have kidney problems that may require dialysis, which cleans toxins from the blood when the kidneys aren't working.

"Only a small number of (babies) need this treatment, but it could be life-saving," said Dr. Heather Lambert, a pediatric kidney specialist and spokeswoman for Britain's Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

Lambert and colleagues at the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle are working on a similar small dialysis device and other scientists have experimented with prototypes.

The new mini-dialysis machine, meant for babies under 10 kilograms (22 pounds), was conceived by Dr. Claudio Ronco of the San Bortolo Hospital in Vicenza, Italy and colleagues. Just weeks after the machine was licensed last summer by European authorities, they got their first patient: a 3-day-old baby girl weighing about 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) with multiple organ failure.

"Her parents had already reserved the funeral," Ronco said. Instead, the baby was treated for nearly a month. She and her parents recently paid Ronco a visit.

"The baby was crying like crazy because she was hungry, but she's doing great," Ronco said. The baby has mild kidney problems and needs vitamin D supplements but is otherwise growing normally, he said.

Since then, about 10 other babies have been treated with the machine across Europe.

The development of the dialysis machine and its first patient were described in a paper published online Thursday in the journal Lancet. The research was paid for by an Italian kidney advocacy group. The dialysis machines cost 35,000 euros ($47,801) and Ronco does not profit from their sales.

"This is a pretty major advance for the smallest infants," said Dr. Bethany Foster, an associate professor of pediatrics at the Montreal Children's Hospital in Canada, who co-authored an accompanying commentary. "I can't imagine the baby they (treated) would have survived with the current technology."

Foster emphasized that doctors should be cautious in deciding which babies to treat.

"You have to be especially vigilant with very small babies because what you're often doing amounts to heroic treatment," Foster said. "We need to be careful that we don't just do things because we can."

Can I use tap water to brush my teeth?

No. Do not use tap water to brush your teeth. Use boiled or bottled water.
Is it safe to take a shower or bath?

Yes, it is safe to take a bath or shower, but be careful not to swallow any water. Use caution when bathing infants and young children. Consider giving them a sponge bath to reduce the chance of them swallowing water.
What about shaving?

Yes, you can shave as usual.
Will my home filtration system substitute for boiling water?

Home filtration systems vary considerably. To be safe, boiled or bottled water should be used.
What are the symptoms?

Most varieties are harmless or just cause brief diarrhea, but E. coli can also cause bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps or vomiting.
What should I do about feeding my infant?

Continue to breastfeed if that's what you currently do. If breastfeeding is not an option:

Use ready-to-use formula, if possible.
Prepare powdered or concentrated formula with bottled water. Use boiled water if you do not have bottled water. Disinfect water for formula if you cannot boil your water (see directions below on how to use bleach to disinfect water).
Wash and sterilize bottles and nipples before use.
If you cannot sterilize bottles, try to use single-serve, ready-to-feed bottles.

I am unable to boil my water, is there an alternative to boiling?

If you can't boil water, you can treat water with unscented household chlorine bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite). Add 1/8 teaspoon of bl each per gallon of water if the water is clear. Mix thoroughly and let it stand for about 30 minutes before using.
What about my pet? Is it safe for my pet to drink or bathe in this water?



In three separate repeat water samples from May 20 to May 23, the presence of total coliform and E. coli was confirmed in routine drinking water.

Until further notice, all Portland Water Bureau customers and those in the affected areas should boil all tap water used for drinking, food prep, tooth brushing and ice for at least one minute.

FAQ: Boil water notice questions and answers

Any ice or beverages prepared with unboiled tap water on or after May 20 should be thrown out.

The water samples that tested positive for bacteria were collected at Mt. Tabor Reservoirs 1 and 5, as well as the Southeast 2nd Avenue and Salmon Street water sampling station.

Those reservoirs have been taken offline.

Along with Portland Water Bureau customers, other local water providers also fall under the boil water notice. They are: Burlington Water District, City of Gresham (North of I-84), Lake Grove Water District, Lorna Portland Water, Palatine Hill Water District, Rockwood Water District, Tigard Water Service Area (including Durham, King City and Bull Mountain), Valley View Water District and West Slope Water District.

"While we believe at this time that the potential health risk is relatively small, we take any contamination seriously and are taking every precaution to protect public health," said Portland Water Bureau Administrator David Shaff.

Customers will be notified when they no longer have to boil their water after investigators determine the water system is clean of contamination through surveillance sampling.

Contamination can occur when there is a loss of water pressure, a pipe breaks or conditions expose drinking water to outside elements. The Portland Water Bureau is performing a full investigation to identify the cause of the contamination, but workers said it is not always possible to make an exact determination.

Customers can visit www.portlandoregon.gov/water/boilwaternotice for more information, or call the Portland Water Bureau at 503-823-7770. Do not call 9-1-1 unless you have an emergency.

many have tried to
walk all over me

im standing my grounds
but yet give on my terms
when needed...

i have a heart made of gold

are you meaning
in general of being a stranger

INSANE!!!!!!!

adding on to your poem

a dream can be at times
hard to belive
as a dream can be true
but yet a dream
can mean nothing
as a dream
you can see far at times
in the future
as creating much
into your thoughts
and dreams
as you vision what is next
as you never know
you can conquer all the best

rainy nights
seem so gloomy
but when you
see the color
lavender
it makes that
feeling so much brighter
lavender makes
one alive for your
spiritually feels
more at ease
as the color lavender
can be sometimes
seen in a rainbow
in a far distance
such a breath taking
to see
a flower of lavender
can make your eyes
spark with glee
for the love you cherish
is all around
as the color lavender
i shall say gives
such a beauty touch
where the shades
are in motion
and winds are
powered by the sea

this one is cool

shadows across
the moon
seem to give a life
as the moonlight
as this tense gleam
of glow that you can
see a smile through
out the universe
as the falling star
is a sign of a loved one
to remember by
as the lights flicker
your spirits are among
as a place of travel
is a place of the unknown
a phone call away from
a mystery phone is not dream
as you may think
but dreams are our breathing
stone as feeling alive with
full of hope

you have grown
to learn the hard ropes
as learning more of you
as you have cared
for many in your own way
as you have crossed bridges
to find hope, and love
as to where you may have
been walk on
as you sorrow but not
for long as you tend to keep
your pride high and show
no fear as there are some
boundaries that must be taken
but blocking the pain just shows
what a miracle person
you can be as showing
your strenght and faith
and keeping your
spirituality alive
look forward of where
you stand and wish to be
that pride my have a memory
of what you may once had
but remember that memory
will show that the music of heart
can overcome the past
and building those bridges
is like falling off a horse
never give up
as us woman are strong
with power to achieve
as each one of us
have a amazing inner soul
