DON'T WORRY.........I THINK I UNDERSTAND

WHAT THE SITUATION IS AND IT IS OK..........................

<span onclick=
I AM MOTHER TO A SIX YEAR OLD WHO THINKS SHE IS THE BOSS!
SAVE US ALL!

Ariel is begging for attention, she says she's ill but then aren't we all? Beauty is a bit better today so the decibel level coming from her is increasing.
Ariel wants everyone to know she has head pains as well! ~She wants everyone to know she is a sick bunny. And her final statement is GO AWAY.
My blog is still deleting pictures so I am now uploading via Photobucketlet's see if that solves the problem. Thanks to Fiona who made Lucky Stars on Photoshop

The situation in Ipswich seems to be getting worse and worse each day, one of the girls who was murdered was three months pregnant.
I watched a news report on BBC1 and I was pleased that at no time were the girls who died referred to as prostitutes, they called them workers in the sex industry. The report went on to describe the lives of these girls and it put a personal face on who they were and they were each portrayed as loving, kind, sweet girls and I feel terrible sorrow for their families. These girls were similar in ages to my daughters and it is such a great shame that the lives of these girls fell apart in such away that they felt that they had no option but to turn to earning a living in such away. Prostitution is seen as a terrible thing but whereas the the girls(or men) are labelled as 'prostitutes' which is a horrible word ,where is the horrible word to describe the punters? Surely what the punters are doing is far worse than the prostitutes but there seems to be far less criticism of the punters! I do not believe there will ever be a time when women will be treated fairly. For those of you who believe in a God please pray for these girls and the unborn child that was murdered and the families left behind.
The killer has to be found quickly so the killer cannot kill again.

JINGLE BELLS


Oh yes , she is awake in there, and how do I know? Because she is singing JINGLE BELLS!
Beauty has a talent for hearing songs and remembering them and being able to sing them word for word, she can't talk properly but she can sure as heck sing. And is this a trait that has come out of her autism? Well, it was also something that I did as a child and I have a WORD game whereby I can sing a song that contains most words, For example HONEY can be found in Sugar,Sugar by the Archies- please do not test me with words like MORASS or ANAL. This game is a constant delight to my children(well sometimes). I believe we are all on the Autistic Spectrum somewhere and I believe that I am higher than the average and so Beauty gets some of her tendencies from me.
The other night I watched SOME(remember, not all) of Midsommer Murders-'Dead' centre of the universe village with more murders per square mile than any soap opera can conjure up, Prunella Scales was on it and she was a cape wearing, tricycle riding psychic. She said in the show that madness was an unword(don't quote me) but a better way to describe things was to say that we are all have varying degrees of sanity and I think it is so true. I realise there are the psychotic types of mental illness but for the rest of us I think we all get depressed or obsessed at sometimes in their life and it is not an illness but varying degrees of sanity and it is the way we cope with the day to day rigours of living.
For those who suffer with the psychotic types of illnesses I do not believe that the Health Care System adequately deals with their needs.
'Community care killings' exposed
25 mentally ill people a week take their own lives, the study reveals
More than 400 people have been killed by psychiatric patients released into the community over the last eight years, a report is expected to reveal.It will say almost a third of the killings were carried out by people who were judged to have been of "low risk".
Now there is the evidence of a serious problem we will have to wait and see if anything is actually done because if the money isn't out there to pay for the professionals to work with the people with problems in the community then nothing will change. More people will die unnecessarily.

Union calls for more funds to NHS
Treatment will be available despite the cuts, the government claims.The country's biggest union is calling on the government to give more money to the NHS, amid fresh protests across the UK against plans to cut services.Unison says the chancellor should use next week's pre-Budget report to help NHS trusts tackle financial deficits.Royal College of Nursing (RCN) head Beverley Malone said she hoped changes to the service would be made for clinical, not just financial, reasons.Protests are taking place against cuts in various UK locations.These include demonstrations in Chertsey, Surrey, and Hatfield and Stevenage in Hertfordshire.

NHS deficit doubles to over £500m
The NHS deficit tops £500m.The NHS deficit in England has reached £512m - more than double the amount last year.Nearly a third of the 566 NHS organisations failed to break even with a hardcore group of 63 responsible for 70% of the deficits.The unaudited figure for the 2005-6 financial year is £100m less than mid-year forecasts.Over 12,000 jobs have been cut, wards closed and operations delayed as NHS trusts have struggled with finances.

How many jobs will be lost in the NHS?By Caroline ParkinsonBBC News health reporter
Tony Blair is under pressure to say how many NHS staff will go.Campaigners have reacted angrily to Tony Blair's assertion that there will only be a "few hundred" redundancies in the NHS.They, along with the Conservatives, say the total number of jobs losses linked to the current financial crisis in the health service will be nearer to 20,000.So how many people will actually be out of work because of the current NHS reorganisation?Since consultations on proposals are ongoing in NHS trusts up and down England, it is not actually clear what the final tally will be.But it looks as though both sides might be right.Redundancies are the tip of the iceberg.As Tony Blair and NHS managers say, the total number of compulsory redundancies is likely to be in the hundreds.However, many more people will be affected.
Posts are likely to close, staff will not be replaced when they leave and remaining staff may be moved to different departments and responsibilities.And adding up all the posts affected by redundancy, post closure, failure to recruit or staff movement could be near 20,000.

Does anyone else find the situation really worrying?

An Irish Blessing

(A Blessing from St. Patrick)
May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

May the rains fall soft upon your fields,

And, until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
