The most beautiful girl and the most rotten doggy…

Eleven years with this special girl in Russia. This image is when Boza was about a year old…

Boza had a bath and most likely his first one, with the expression he has on his face… 😉

Thanks for donations…

We had planned on having a hard month. Our budget was destroyed by fixing the Tiny Russian Village home and finishing up the Volga from all her work needed. Boza had drained the budget at the same time with all his doctor visits and medications. Thus, money was gone and we were prepared for a few months of leanness…

Then today, from America came several donations, one was from a repeat donation person to boot!

I was going to have to delay a cat-scan to be done until money eased up, but now it looks like I will be able to get it done. I need to have my brain scanned and see if the tumor I fought with many years ago is still sleeping or not. This has been dragging on me as I worry about such things and rightly so. If you never have had to fight a brain tumor then you do not realize what I am talking about. Anything growing abnormally in your head, has and causes issues. I have had my share…

Medical care in Russia is cheap for even an American like me. A cat-scan would run: According to New Choice Health, the national average cost of a brain CT scan is $1,200.Jan 27, 2015…. In Russia it will run 6000 rubles = $100 at the time of this writing…. One of those things I talk about as far as cost inflation wrongness for Americans…

Therefore, Boza now will have months of medicine, we will have food on the table and I will get my health checked up on…. Seriously, I was not sure how all this was going to work out and it will still be tight monetarily wise, but now it is workable…

The first time I had to deal with a tumor I dealt with the VA and it was pure hell to get things done. All those years of being a good American and did the nasty for them, did not translate into a blessing when I need my country the most. I finally ended up doing chemotherapy through a hospital that did it on an emergency room basis. This way my company insurance would pay for it and it cost me $100 a visit and I visited every week (two sessions around 22 to 23 weeks long) for a year total. This all came out of my pocket…

The VA refused to help much at all, for to admit to an issue, would open them up to an Agent Orange issue and they knew what I knew. Being soaked to the skin for months in the stuff caused big problems. Some got something, I was not one to get anything. Like most of us…. I tried the system set up for us Vets who are not showing the accepted issues. I was railroaded…. If I had prostrate cancer I could have been helped…

So I tell myself, “It is all in your head!” Get it? 😉

Therefore, I ask nothing and I mean nothing, from my government, for I realize that I will get nothing…

Again, thank you for the donations…

I started to cry today, for really God does work things out, as long as you do your best. That is one thing I do, “My best!”

Nearly 70 years of sanctions, North Korea…

If someone put me into a box and tried to seal it? If someone locked the doors on my home from the outside?

Wouldn’t you be a bit angry at those people? I would…

While North and South Korea had issues and it looked as it North Korea was going to mope the ground up with the South. The issue started originally due to cold war crap between the USSR and USA. The USA had to get into the middle of all of it and came close themselves to getting their ass handed to them. My dad was in the Korean War and if the UN counter-offensive that was launched at Incheon, had failed. We with SK would have been in the ocean next…. Very possible my dad would never have made it home alive…

As it was we failed for the most part, because China swarmed over the border and handed us our asses again. But we bombed the hell out of everything in the North Korea and made sure that hardly any buildings were left standing… We dropped 635,000 tons of bombs and if it moved we tried to bomb it…. The war never ended and in NK’s eyes is still technically going on…

[contentcards url=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Armistice_Agreement”]

The armistice also established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The DMZ was decided to be a 2.5-mile (4.0 km)-wide fortified buffer zone between the two Korean nations. The Demilitarized Zone follows the Kansas Line where the two sides actually confronted each other at the time of the signed armistice. The DMZ is currently the most heavily defended national border in the world.

So instead of one Korea, we had as it was at the beginning of the whole mess, two Korea’s. Therefore we poured money into SK and boxed NK in tight as a sardine can…. We did not let the world properly intermingle with NK…

70 years of propaganda, financial destruction and literally just plain making up anything to demoralize the NK. On top of which America has a huge propaganda system at work in SK and this is all to keep fear of NK alive in SK’s eyes. Thus, they need our military bases there…

Once again, we Americans need to look in the mirror as we, talk trash about a country that has been abused beyond imagination verbally, morally, financially and socially. We are the catalyst to what NK became…

They fear the USA and that fear drives them to protect themselves at all costs… In their minds the war never ended. And it did not…

They are right to fear the USA! Ask Syria, Ukraine, Iran, Libya, Iraq, Venezuela, Serbia, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Somalia and there is many more… These are just off the top of my head…

How would you like it if someone tried to lock you in your room for 70 years?
