Apparently,
last Tuesday or Wednesday, I got bit by a
brown
recluse spider. It was right smack dab between
my
right baby toe and the next one. I spent two days
soaking
my foot in antibacterial soap and slathering
on
antibiotics, to no avail. Friday night, at 5:30 pm
I had
finally gotten to the point I could barely walk.
There
was a big blue and black bubble the size OF my
baby
toe in between those two toes and a big black
streak
and knot underneath. I drove myself the 30 or
so
miles to the nearest hospital, thank goodness for
cruise
control as again, it was my right foot.
By the
time I got seen in the ER, the doctor was shocked
I had
waited so long and appalled that I had driven
myself.
My toes were blue so he feared I must be
diabetic
so was not going to lance the bubble to
relieve
the pressure until blood tests came back
to say
I was not. Needless to say, with the ER
freezing
and having to wear sandals as I could not
get a
sock or shoe ON that foot, my toes on both
feet
WERE blue, BUT, tests came back as I had told
him
they would that I am NOT diabetic, so he cut
the
bubble open, drained it and cut a lot of dead
or
dying skin away.
IMMEDIATELY
the pressure was released and although
I am
still limping a bit, not quite a week later,
I am on
the road to mending and all is well. Whoa,
I was
lucky that I did not wait any longer.
Like a
LOT of Americans, I not only do not HAVE
any
medical insurance but cannot afford it OR
the $63
or more to go to a doctor.
Luckily,
it is the LAW that they have to see
and/or
treat you in the ER's and then you can
make
payment arrangements. If I had gone to the
doctor,
she would have sent me to the ER anyway
so I
avoided that expense and got enough samples
to hold
me over til the next day to go to the
drug
store and get the medicines prescribed by
the ER
doctor.

Article
Using
Blogs As Sources In Articles
Depending
on what type of blog that you have, it might
be a
good idea to advertise your blog using articles.
For
example, say you know about jewelry and gemstones
and
your blog is a place where you post information
for
people to read about jewelry, submitting an article
to a
website such as Associated Content can be very
instrumental
in bringing people to your blog.
A good
example would be to talk about the common
misconceptions
about the colors of gemstones.
You
could write about the fact that people assume that
gemstones
such as emeralds, sapphires and rubies are
one set
color, but the truth is that those stones
come in
a variety of colors and hues.
You can
then use your blog as a source for your
information
as long as you have blogged about those
gemstones.
The
great thing is that some places, like Associated
Content,
will pay you for the articles that you write.
So, if
you sell jewelry on your blog, it's like being
paid
twice for your knowledge. Of course, this is just
an
example of the way you can use articles to
advertise
your blog.
When
you are writing an article, be creative. You don't
have to
be an expert at what you do. If you enjoy writing
stories,
you can say that posting stories on blogs is a new
and
different way to share your stories with others.
Then,
post your blog link as your source and you have
people
checking out your blog and your stories.
Here
are 100 top blogging tips :-)

Quote
In
work, the greatest satisfaction lies - the satisfaction
of
stretching yourself, using your abilities and making them
expand,
and knowing that you have accomplished something that
could
have been done only by your unique apparatus. This is
really
the center of life, and those who never orient
themselves
in this direction are missing more than they
ever
know.
