Long covid demolished the life I knew. I am trying now for disability and hoping to keep my home. I am in pain every second of every day. No health insurance because I had it through my 21-year public teaching position, and when I had to leave that job, I lost my insurance. I couldn't afford the $1k a month that COBRA would have set me back. I can't begin to afford marketplace insurance. I used my savings to survive financially the past few years. My pension is there, but I'm not old enough to access it; nor will it be remotely enough to live on if I can get Teacher's Retirement Disability. Every day is a struggle to continue. I can get basic care at a wonderful local clinic, but even something like a cortisone shot requires me to go elsewhere. And in order to qualify financially for that shot, I'd already need to be on disability.
This illness is one of many, including chronic Lyme and ME/CFS (the latter of which I probably actually do have now, along with osteoarthritis and asthma) that is poorly understood and often dismissed because it's an "invisible" illness that, on a tolerable day, isn't always evident to observers.
The US needs health care reform in an immediate and sweeping way. I'm not counting on it, though. I truly don't know what will happen.
This book is a really powerful account of what it's like for those of us living with invisible illnesses and disabilities.

Why you ask? Well... because knowing gang signs makes you COOL! Haha. Or perhaps you are just bored passing quality time with friends at a cafe. Nick, Katy, and Jeremy at Quacks.

Reading the boy language is fascinating: when you speak to someone you can trying to understand what's going on in their mind. When you look at other people from far away it can help you to guess what the people are talking about.
I'm still wondering what this man is explaining to the child.

For the 2020-21 school year I taught a remote section of kindergarten with 23 students from my home. One of those students was my own son, who was participating in class from his room while I was in our guest room. Please forgive the cheeky title, this was definitely NOT wartime, but it was a VERY different type of teaching and learning for students. We still had fun, we still did the things that kindergarteners do, we just did it a little differently. I think we all learned a lot of things that year, and I carried many of those ideas forward when I returned to the classroom. Normally, I would never have had my own son in class (we have 6 sections of kindergarten), but I’m sure he’ll always remember the year I was his teacher.
This build was a fun chance to reflect on what that year was like, but also catch all the details of what our home looked like at that time. The guest room was filled with teaching materials, while Elliot had a computer in his bedroom along with a plethora of board games and toys (did you spot the LEGO Death Star?) The hinged sections allow several ways to display and view this build.
Shot this photo while teaching a private night photography class tonight in downtown Naples, Florida. This is a 3 exposure HDR blended both manually and in Photomatix. I used a flashlight to paint in a little extra light under the cabana.
If you enjoy night photography, check out the dozens of free articles I've written on the subject by visiting my website: ImprovePhotography.com
A very slim chance of their escape from these guys on motorbike.
I smelled chicken Adobo and curry.
Location : Bantayan Island, Central Visayas, Philippines
I took this photo whilst on sightseeing by motorbike around Bantayan Island
awhile back in 2010, and spotted these guys with chickens.
Not the best photo to show off but I was convicted to keep this image rather
than discard it. I don't see this scene everyday and I find this image depicting
some character of village life, maybe some hint of animal cruelty which blinded
people through distorted meaning of human superiority over animals , eroding
responsibility and care in handling these little creatures under our dominion.
If you love and have respect of animals, this can be heartbreaking .
I kept this in reflection, with some contentious road of thoughts and
sympathy of what our chicken roasts, chicken curry, been going through their
little lifespan behind the scenes. Most live in cramp cruel confinement in battery cages, obviously
don't live a nice short life. But despite this compelling image ,
I'm still headstrong with my refusal to convert to vegetarian diet.
Being grounded by Biblical teachings, I live by faith, which also reflects
the food I ate.
"For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer"
1 Timothy 4 :4-5
" Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you"
Exodus 23;25
"Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground."
Genesis 1:26

Here's a prayer against witches! Psalm 109 is a reflection of these prayers against your enemies that intends to harm you. I do always pray against witchcraft , that any spells cast against me ,ill wishes, Satanic rituals and curses against me and my household will be put back in reverse upon the source . Finish the prayer in the name of Jesus. If you are not born again in the Christ, you need to now by accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour .
Here's one example of these type of prayer :

Near to my hotel in Siem Reap , Cambodia was a small Buddhist temple ...not on the usual tourist route. So when I had a few moments on my own ,I thought that I would sneak in & have a `nose` around the area. It was a proper little community there, with amongst other things, a lesson taken place in a veranda classroom. I learned later that it was a lesson in Japanese. When the students saw me they smiled & wanted to have a chat .....the monk teacher didn`t seem to mind at all. In fact he happily posed for my picture.

I recently re-discovered my mom's baby book kept by her father. I'm posting some of the ads from the book dated 1918-1919.
This week I've had my younger sister staying with me in my student digs for a few days. Since I'm not in university again yet, I have some spare time on my hands! I've been indulging in photography as much as I can this summer and, I think somebody around me has caught the bug!
So after helping her choose and purchase her first camera a month or so ago, I went out with my sister this week to the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield to help her do some practicing. She's very talented naturally anyway so, after a few pointers she was on her way! Really enjoyed giving her tips and watching her enjoying photography :)
