Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
My anger is a disease. It's spreading through my body and about to infect my mind. The frustration of not being able to see you is going to shatter me.

Gosh, the cracks seem sharper looking back.
I'm writing a song all about you
A true song, as real as my tears
But you've no need to fear it
'Cause no one will hear it
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like for the whole world to hear
I'd like to get even
With you, 'cause you're leavin'
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
(It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are)

OMG. I dunno why but I definitely love this photo.
Lastminute edit: I'll be away for a while.
"Work-acquired infectious diseases are among the risks all healthcare workers face; and bloodborne pathogens figure prominently among these. Occupational exposure to blood and body fluids is well documented among healthcare workers. Annual exposure prevalence rates range from 1,500 nurses employed on 40 units in 20 hospitals, poor organizational climate and high workloads were associated with 50% to 200% increases in the likelihood of needlestick injuries and near-misses among hospital nurses."

As nurses we work in an environment that will kill us. We understand that,. We use protection and procedures to reduce risk, and we come to work with the same mission as always. Usually to save or help some ungrateful son of a bitch who doesn't deserve our assistance. Some drug using wife beating ignorant pseudo criminal who views us and health care in general with suspicion and contempt. Some ignorant person to whom knowledge and education are evil and unnecessary. And to those who firmly think nurses are a sub-class of humanity and who would "report us to administration" and "have our jobs" because we don't offer them Demerol every hour for their little aches and pains. Never mind that many nurses including myself work more hours than we sleep, often in a great deal of unmedicated pain ourselves. But I digress.....
Tonight I discovered a fascinating fact. I was hoping to find the actual infection and death rate of health care workers among the statistics at the CDC. Instead I found this statement......
"Recent experiences with severe acute respiratory syndrome
and the US smallpox vaccination program have
demonstrated the vulnerability of healthcare workers to
occupationally acquired infectious diseases. However,
despite acknowledgment of risk, the occupational death
rate for healthcare workers is unknown. In contrast, the
death rate for other professions with occupational risk, such
as police officer or firefighter, has been well defined. With
available information from federal sources and calculating
the additional number of deaths from infection by using
data on prevalence and natural history, we estimate the
annual death rate for healthcare workers from occupational
events, including infection, is 17–57 per 1 million workers.
However, a much more accurate estimate of risk is
needed. Such information could inform future interventions,
as was seen with the introduction of safer needle products.
This information would also heighten public awareness of
this often minimized but essential aspect of patient care."

I began my search for statistics this evening because I began my own personal nightmare today. I was exposed to most of the dread diseases and killer viruses that our profession has to offer. Not because I did anything stupid, but because others did. The only stupid thing I did was report to work believing that the risks were low, that the system would support me if there was an exposure, and that my personal protective equipment was sufficient.

A scene repeated across England and much of Europe as ash dieback disease (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) takes hold.
Millions of ash trees across the south of England are now diseased and increasingly dangerous as branches become brittle and give way with no warning.
Ash trees are being felled everywhere and country-lanes lined by sawn-off stumps are becoming a common sight.
I'm increasingly concerned about the the look of our much loved landscape of hedgerows and tree-lined lanes as ash are perhaps our most common tree, and the one most taken for granted.
Although rather unshowy, they make up as much as three quarters of the greenery that lines our lanes and fill our classic English vistas, and although there seems to be grants and incentives to plant new woodlands to offset greenhouse warming, I've not heard of any schemes to start replacing them with different species in our beloved hedgerows.
I remember visiting southern England in the late 70's when Dutch Elm disease had produced vistas that looked like mid-winter in mid-summer; huge dead skeletal trees in all directions. The wonderfully statuesque elm, so common in this area they were affectionally known as 'the Warwickshire Weed' gone from the landscape and rarely replaced.
This must be the time for the government to start incentives for farmers to plant new trees of different species within our hedges.

Thanks!!!
Heres my post to Flickr 11|11|11 group.
I had to be apart of this. I'm honored that i get to live through this. Not gonna be another one of these anytime soon;D haha.
Anyways. I'm just laying here enjoying music as i edit some senior photos. Its been a really busy day. I went up to Hershey Medical Center today to see my doctor.
I have a auto-immune disease. And no one really understands. I don't know anyone else with a condition similar to me. I live in a small town where everyones basically healthy, and no one really knows what to think of me. I'm.. well... a sickly person.
But today my doctor told me about a Christmas party for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis from the Rheumatoid Arthrisis Foundation (I'm guessing).
Anyways, its for people with all ages who not only have RA but who have auto-immune diseases get together. It'd be so nice to have people who experience similar problems to talk to. I need that so badly. Thankfully I do not have RA, but my doctor said it would be great for me to go. So hopefully I can get my ass up to state college for that party. I'm in need of a little fun. ahahaha. xD
Anyways, like i said HAPPY 11/11/11 guys!!

Why, and how come, did they ever come to name this "swine flu"?
Wildwood Sanitarium
Salamanca, New York
September 4th & 5th, 2024
Some history of this haunted historic location (taken from the Wildwood Sanitarium website):
"Wildwood Sanitarium was built in 1900 and bought by doctor John Henderson and doctor Carol Perry in 1903. The two doctors went to college for osteopathy a branch of medical practice that emphasizes the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation and massage of the bones, joints, and muscles. Dr. Henderson along with his partner Dr. Perry and a staff of three nurses Bertha , Agnes, and Sue spent seven years preparing the building to house twelve full time patients along with people seeking treatments in their renovated bath house located in the basement. When it was opened as a holistic private hospital in 1909 They offered cold baths , hot baths, electric battery baths, light bath therapy and other homeopathic treatments. They treated all types of patients with various ailments such as drug addiction, alcoholism, mental issues or they needed treatment for another non contagious disease all were welcome. Walter Freeman also performed lobotomies during this time. The doctors were eventually forced by the state to open up as a sanitarium to treat Tuberculosis in 1923 due to the pandemic at the time. Dr. Henderson passed away in 1941 it was owned by his family until 1946. Dr. Perry also passed in 1941 he was only fifty six. Both doctors had been married while Dr. Perry had no children Dr. Henderson had three but lost two of them but had been married twice. His first wife had passed away. The early 1950's the building became three apartments and stayed apartments for thirty years and afterwards was owned by different families and had sat vacant a couple of times. The building was bought by the Wagatha family in 2017 which is now currently an active restoration project funded by being open for paranormal investigations."
Tree felling at st Ives park due to some of the larch trees having a disease. It was such a dense wood with theses wooden carvings dotted throughout. Such a shame and sad too see.
A client wanted me to remake my Arkham City Joker minifig, with his diseased face, so I thought it was worth uploading :)
The hair is a mould of my original sculpt.
He has a slightly 'dirty' look to his suit that the original client didn't want, I added it back in for this variation :)
On a side note this is the first fig I have attempted with a double sided head!

Leprosy
The number of new cases reported globally to World Health Organization (WHO)external icon in 2019 was more than 200,000.
Close to 15,000 children were diagnosed with Hansen’s disease in 2019, more than 40 a day.
An estimated 2 to 3 million people are living with Hansen’s disease-related disabilities globally.
In 2019, the countries with the highest number of new diagnoses were India, Brazil, and Indonesia.
Over half of all new cases of Hansen’s disease are diagnosed in India, which remains home to a third of the world’s poor, a group disproportionately affected by the disease.

LADY GAGA HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD W THIS SONG RAAAH
I had read about the starfish wasting disease that is afflicting starfish of many species along the Pacific coast of North America, but I was shocked to see it with my own eyes. These two starfish were in the rocks close the clammers in Bodega Bay, CA. The one on the left is healthy; the one on the right is suffering from the wasting disease. The starfish develops a lesion and then it spreads, causing the animal to fall apart. The cause is not known.
