Maggie's Farm

Aw it's so hard lately to get anything done.  Took 2 weeks to prepare taxing prep and set with the accountant.  Finally completed it all by 4/5 but required TONS of working to prep.  

We won't be getting much home, but we did discover several things we'd lost along the way.  The only thing I'm still struggling with is why my tax accountant won't announce the $12,000 stolen from a previous recruitment account where someone had figured out a path into it - and FBI and local Police have that information on papers.  But supposedly it's not available as a write off for payments so he won't claim this.  I do not understand how or why the government wouldn't allow people to claim stolen income loss.  It's remarkable or he's bad - but he's very good and sent the data.  So I'm not sure what I need to do.

I am done radiology and chemo on 4/15.  By 4/22 I'll be back at work at my office again for at least 2 week, then a vacation set first full week in May down on Bahamas...so I am looking forward to the return with work again and my new treatment.

I received yet ANOTHER article by a Canadian doctor doing a lot of cancer treatment using Ivermectin.  I do not know 100% that the link from Covid Vaccines is playing the role - but I have been reading more and more supporting this potential that is NOT being reviewed or studied.  So much so, several AI sources were removing legitimate articles making the claim - I found this odd and sent AI restrictions and was told it was designed to end "lies" yet none of these were proven as lies.  This latest one further leads a bit to options - I am NOT SAYING THESE ARE TRUTHFUL FIXES and real.  But they are highly supportive so far if a larger group will begin to look into and address all this.  Here is an example of someone is trying to utilize - I am not selling this as 100% legitimate.  I am saying it is possible and is not being reviewed.  My view is many potential options are deliberately being ignored and quieted.

I am getting healthier, however, as radiology ends down I am slipping to some misspelling and word shortages from time to time.  My apologies.  It was warned by my doctor and my speech therapy treater.  It's not long lasting - just temporary short issues of brain intact from radiology.  I have had up and down days.  The main item - one great day with trips in to NYC to see friends for 5-6 hours, then very tired and troubled the next day...   

Reality is my meeting with my Pastor was very nice and our conversations have been growing.  I do not fully buy into my Catholic past, but it is still very good and how I grew up.  I'm not specializing overall for myself.  I am wide open - and I will handle well shared comments and views.

I wish I could go out and do more.  I will remention that my plan is to buy tickets for the English Beat and Adam Ant concert tomorrow.  Hoping I continue to feel well enough.  As I mention, I had quite the list of titles from my visit to several concerts in 1983 in London.  I do miss that era.  I covered quite a bit back then...so I will cover many now if I can.

By the way - reminder - view "Defending Your Life" - one of my favorite Albert Brooks great ones.  I feel it treats how I approach my own situation now...

As I mentioned, I want to write more as my system continues or alters.  Sadly, it's been nuts for slightly over 2 weeks with a lot going on.  I can share information or a few things, because it's been mostly good, but there are a few items.

1. Due to Chemo and Radiology daily (5 days) I have seen my health drop.  Not significantly, but enough to definitely feel awful.  Nausea, then treated.  Weakness, handled by some improvements which manage a bit more extensively.  The last 2 weeks allow the assistance of steroid assistance allowed in lower levels.  Headaches higher the past 3 days.  Treatments allowed in higher levels.  As mentioned, my hair is long cut (and I'll share my lovely look now lately).

2. Overall feeling better in treatment as weekly doctor meeting have opened the assistance and treatment gains.  Greatly appreciated.  I have been in the city twice over 4 years, will add tomorrow and next week - though weakness is down slightly.

3. Radiology lost one day due to errors wasting 3 hours waiting last week - my day shifted by one day so my last day is 4/15 Monday - but I am heading immediately to leave Mrs. Bulldog behind as her parents will allow me to resolve in FL as I'll need restness and softness at the local beach.  It will be helpful.   Great to have healthy in-laws.

I do have some updates, but I have been busy.  Short update(s).  First, my personal close family arrived yesterday.  Sister and her family (husband and children) from Vienna, Austria in arrivement.  My father and his wife also arrived.  My mother and my sister (who cares for her at age 88) arrived.  My brother and his wife also arrived.  All of this time spending and tiring, but essential with some more opportunities but with a less likelihood for complete original involvement of this kind likely again soon.

I also have a new teach announced for in 3 weeks as a potential which was unknown, sudden, and possible starting after April's first week.  I have been doing calls and set ups for that as well as preparation for an early MRI and completing chemo and radiology, while taking an in-laws family trip this weekend shortly.

There other stories I will expand on a future day (Monday or Tuesday) but the key point are two fold.  One is a larger natural public completion I will present to High School children after I speak with two of my pastors and possibly a local Rabbi of a friend.  Another is using that as a larger presentation for more options possibly in video and/or public revolutions after it is seen on Maggie's Farm. 

The second fold is this attached story - a great shortage resolution of the value of Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino.  While I have found many very good Tarantino films, Reservoir Dogs has been, since its release, as one of the greatest of its kinds.  I have loved it only slightly less than Pulpy Fiction.  Tarantino had several good films, but these were his two best overall in my view.  My son did a wonderful set up and arranging a discussion about Reservoir Dogs and made it very much worth reading - I recommend it today and will follow up later with more.  Enjoy this, I was overwhelmed by his knowledge as quite excellent.

One side note.  If you have not seen The Conversation, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ASAP as the 50th anniversary this year.  With Cazale in it, the film was largely ignored in the US in 1974 for poor reasoning by criticals.  It is, by far, a great film overlooked back then.  It was Cazale's poorest US film, its only wealth winning a Cannes 1974 Palme d'Or.  It also won or was nominated for various Academy Awards, BAFTA and Golden Globes, in addition to MANY others.  It starred surprisingly great actors.  Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Teri Garr, Cindy Williams, Harrison Ford, and Robert Duvall put together an AMAZING story with top level management and story making.  Phenomenal and widely overlooked until only now.  My other son, upon my call after watching it, surprised me shockingly by admitting the very day before he'd seen a local Manhattan Film offer for The Conversation's 50th Anniversary and he took it in and was overwhelmed by its great production for 1974.  I laughed and agreed deeply with him.  I highly recommend this if you have time, too. 

Just a few notes from the past week.  

1. It was a great week, overall.  Main issue was the 3/12/2024 62nd birthday.  My family took time off to spend the day.  62 from 1962 is a fine repetition.  I hope I can get to 63 - so far, it seems likely, but we do not know much more yet. 

2. There was a small shift in chemo in the second week.  Several times severe depression was a setting.  It is short, and I've fought it naturally.  But for the first time I fell into depressive moments requiring a push back against the chemo impact on my otherwise greatly positive POV.  I also developed Carpal Tunnel as a related effect on my tennis wrist.  Since I have sciatica the doctor grew my steroid offer and after 3 days it has impacted an improvement on depression and pain from muscles.  It also grows less sleep.  Which to be honest is fine. I still sleep anyway.  At times, hours here and there. 

3. I spent an entire day in NYC on the day after my birthday.  I met my company president and VPs.  I got many notes wishing me well from coworkers and all wishing me happy birthday on my birthday and wishing me well.  My company is the best place I've ever worked.  So much so, the president offered to hear at least 5 of 7 stories I have which I've done over the years.  I will not go into details, but after telling them, he was stunned - never having heard deep criminal situations at companies.  One was a lie against me - which later led to a release and heavy payment which indicated they dropped the lawsuit.  I did depositions in at least 2 specific items where I rejected the company legal support as I stated "I only speak truth, so legal support will back off corporate stories as they see truth filling reality" - each one led to several job losses as lawyres saw that truth is actually rather easy.  Drove some of them frighteningly.  I closed my own lawsuit once, but I cannot discuss the details.  All worth mentioning is the depth of illegal email and other activities and laws taken against me which led to my removal...and could have been more money if I'd pushed it.  I chose to move away as my job I had taken was better and far more interesting than spending time in courts to win a few million dollars. That's a few stories, but opend the door to some massive mainstream illegal activity in many cases.
