The kids have a better social life than me.

It's true my kids do have a better social life than I do.  Child 1 is rarely home these days instead is off with her friends at their place or riding between our house and her friends places.  Child 2 is still my home body child but for how long and Child 3 has no less than 2 parties to go to today.

And I am just the taxi driver ferrying her between the two.  I can't even remember the last time I had a night out without the kids and just gone out with friends.  And even if I plan one it has to be done around husband's stupid roster because otherwise I can't go anywhere or who will watch the kids for me.

I need a night off a night of drinking and dancing and just letting go for a while.  I love going to a little nightclub here that plays 80's music(hehe I am child of the 80's).

Most of all I need a break.

Friday Whine

This is a total white whine, I am currently on a menstrual cycle that is a week long that is now in it's 6th week with my 3rd period and to tell the truth I am totally over it.

I am over the mood swings and being bitchy, I am over the cost of feminine hygiene products and most of all I am sick of blood.

I am sick of not having a job I have applied for so many jobs and have heard nothing back, I want to WORK.

I am sick of this headache I have.

I am sick of shiftwork and now another change in rosters to start next year TRY STICKING TO ONE FUCKING ROSTER FOR LONGER THAN 6 BLOODY MONTHS.

I did warn you it was a whine blog today.

I am sick of fighting kids.

I am sick of never getting a break, I need a holiday a real one not one that involves me and the kids going to visit my mum.  That is NOT a holiday for me.

This is why religion has no place in our lives.

Yesterday I read an article that made me so sad, A woman who had gone into a Hospital in Ireland was refused a medical abortion because Ireland is "catholic country" , So what you say it's the Dr's right to refuse treatment based on his religion?

Does that opinion change if I mention that mother present with bleeding and a was diagnosed as having a miscarriage?  Fully dilated and leaking amniotic fluid and bleeding?  Still the Dr's right to refuse.  How about if I tell you that after 2 and a half days the babies heartbeat finally stopped and she was then operated on?

How about if the mother then dies because she became infected with septicaemia?

All of this could have been avoided and a woman would still be alive if they had just done the damn medical abortion it was a NON VIABLE pregnancy, their failure to act cost a woman her life.

This is just one of the many reason I think that religion has no place in our lives these days when religion comes before lives this have gone fucking wrong, this woman who sadly lost her life wasn't even Catholic but their religious beliefs came before her health, What is wrong with religion that they can let a woman die for the sake of their beliefs?

This is just one of the reasons I turned my back on organised religion, a world run by men who think they know what it is like to be a woman and therefore should have a say on what we should and shouldn't do with our bodies.  

I also don't think that it is the Catholic Churches place to teach morality when they don't practise what they preach.  When they practise morality in such cases as child sexual abuse at the hands of their clergymen and give them straight over to the police to investigate instead of closing ranks around them and protecting them from arrest then maybe they can preach morality.

Maybe when they admit they are and were wrong on many things they can preach morality.  I don't need organised religion to tell me what is moral I know that already I know it's wrong to deny some one medical treatment because of YOUR religious beliefs, I know it's wrong to protect child sex offenders, yet they get away with this stuff and have done for such a long time.

There was a case a number of years ago where a 14 year old girl became pregnant with TWINS after being sexually abused by her step father, the safest recourse for this poor girl was an abortion so to try and stop it from happening the Catholic Church ex communicated the Dr's, mother and nurses from the church.  The man who did this terrible thing nope he gets to still be a member of the church.

There are so many more reason these are just a few until the churches admit they are wrong and move on with the rest of the world they will soon become obsolete and personally speaking I hope that happens soon.

Conspiracy theory?

I know I said I would never post from the AVN but this is a special circumstance.  The Head of the AVN claims that she has been harassed by a member of the stop the (anti) Australian Vaccination Network, the emails in question was given a quick run down by the writer of said emails and they were nothing but polite.

SO AVN lets get one thing straight ASKING for
1) Clarification about a post on your Facebok page isn't Harassment.
2) see above.
3) Maybe you could try answering the question.

I normally leave well enough alone but on post by a moderator member of the AVN on their facebook page posted something that made my blood boil and the name of this blog piece.

In a few lines I am going to cut and paste what was written and then add my answer.  I was so shocked by this I had to take the night to calm myself down and compose myself before replying.

Here is what was said by the AVN.

"Australian Vaccination Network Two things to consider are that the system is provaccination (and every government department is indoctrinated with the benefits of vaccination) so that could be a reason that the police are not helpful. They are public servants but aren't likely to help when it goes against the beliefs they are supposed to uphold. The other thing is that taking legal action is costly. CP "

Conspiracy Theory all the way here.  So you think that the police didn't respond to your complaints because they are PRO Vaccination.  What a joke, did it occur to you that they didn't respond because there was nothing to RESPOND TO?

Did it occur to you that they have their hands full dealing with actual crimes not your made up crimes?  I am sure they looked over your complaints and the emails you said were harassing and decided there was NO CRIME COMMITTED.  I wonder how many times in the past few years you have wasted police time and resources on your so called harassment claims.  Do you even realise how much time the police have to put into these complains up to and over 8 to12 hours including paperwork.  That's 8 to 12 hours on a bogus complain that could have been better spent on a real complaint.

They Have to by law investigate every claim made and your constant complaints more than likely have them pulling their hair out in frustration at every single useless complaint you make that takes time and resources to look in to them.  Then you go on to a world wide website and say they aren't helping you because they are
A) Pro Vaccination
B) That every Government department is indoctrinated with the benefits of Vaccination

They aren't not acting because it goes against their beliefs they aren't acting on your complaints because NO CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED.

Wow just wow

I will readily admit that I am a liker of the facebook group Stop the Australian (Anti)Vaccination Network I feel that they do important work at stopping the misinformation given out by the Australian Vaccination Network(I won't be providing a link to this because of what they stand for).  The dangerous mis information and treatment of the parent's who's children have died for Vaccine Preventable diseases is disgusting.  Some of you will have heard the story of one such family that tragically lost their child to whooping cough only to have the AVN contact them and family member and also tried to get a copy of the autopsy report to "prove" she didn't die from whooping cough, here is just some of what these parents have had to go through

http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2010/s2951651.htm


Today while reading the Stop the Australian (Anti) Vaccination Network I was shown a link to another blog that had two different post that had me shaking my head with rage and I am not sure what.  I was speechless and horrified.  One post was discussing the MMS(Miracle Mineral solution)

http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2012/05/30/mms-or-how-to-cure-autism-with-bleach-brought-to-you-by-autismone/

This is a serious one people are making a fortune out of providing "cures" for all different things including Autism from this stuff.  Which when mix as the directions state becomes BLEACH.  And people are giving this stuff to their children one part of it had me just horrified

"For MMS you will see vomiting and diarrhea. Parents discuss ramping up the dose of MMS until the child starts to vomit, then backing off.

The presentation from AutismOne includes:

It is common to find that the child gets a fever. This is very good."

Plus here is the recommendation from the FDA

"FDA Warns Consumers of Serious Harm from Drinking Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS)

Product contains industrial strength bleach

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to take Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid also known as “Miracle Mineral Supplement” or “MMS.” The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health."

Look I understand that people want a cure for Autism but there isn't one, No "natural" remedy is going to fix your child.

Then there was this
http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2010/12/09/bring-the-crazy-fecal-transplant/

"One of those is the Autism Web forums, where the latest trend being discussed is Fecal Transplant.

Yeah. Fecal Transplant.

It is actually a known therapy to attempt to cure

…pseudomembranous colitis (caused by Clostridium difficile), or ulcerative colitis which involves restoration of colon homeostasis by reintroducing normal bacterial flora from stool obtained from a healthy donor.

Feeling a bit icky yet?

But like so many known treatments for known ailments (chelation for example), the extreme biomed party like to put their own unique twist on things:

Ok, you guys, I got some info for you, please do not hate me 
Here is how this procedure was done by that physician in canada who does not practice anymore.
you collect the stool from a healthy relative (mother, father , so on) for a week in a bucket, no preservatives or cooling. Then mix well, fill in a decorating cone (that cloth cone you use to decorate a cake).
Use the cone as an enema to empty all the content in the patient’s colon. The patient needs to hold that as long as possible."

Why haven't people been pulled up for this?  Allowing people to "treat" others in this manner is extremely DANGEROUS they aren't health professionals they a "laymen" they could cause serious harm to their children doing either of these things.  Feeding your child bleach can lead to death and you in prison because you are poisoning your child.

Those suggesting dangerous information need to be stop, I don't want to infringe on anyone's right to free speech but please make sure you know what you are talking about and that this information is dangerous.

Going Girly and a life update.

I have decided that I need to stop biting my nails and to do so I need to go girly.  I have had to put fake nails on, this is because I am rather weird and will eat the stop bite stuff to continue to bite by nails.

My children think that it rather funny to see me trying to use my hands now that I have these damn nails on because I am so un use to long nails it's making this rather fun to try. Typing is a big pain in my butt because the nails catch other letters and I have to do back and undo the mistakes that happen.

They also think I should go all out girly and start wearing make up and dresses all the time.  HA like that is ever going to happen.

Many things have happened since my last blog, My oldest child turned 11(where have the years gone?), I have had a job interview and still waiting to hear back about it(will be told either way) and life in general has just been busy busy busy.  But the best thing to happen was that Husband finally took a holiday.  I mean a real one not 2 or 3 days but 9 days and we took the kids out of school a week early and went on a family holiday together.  It was great the kids loved spending that time with their dad as it rarely ever happens in this house.

Also I was sick for a while, I got sinusitis and went to the DR who while doing an exam noted that I had tonsillitis as well but failed to treat the tonsillitis so I ended up in hospital barely able to breath because of the pain and barely able to swallow which meant IV anti's and two weeks worth of taking pills after I was discharge.(great going GP not going back to them again).

That's my catch up, hopefully I will be more diligent in posting.
