The Passing of One of My Dearest Friend, Reverend Ernest Batten With sadness, sorrow and immeasurable grief, one of my dearest friends, Reverend Ernest Batten, passed away on April 17, 2024. Reverend Ernest Batten left these Earthly Dwellings and has risen into the Heavenly Realms. Reverend Ernest Batten is now sheltered in the loving Arms of Jesus and has been reunited with his dear and faithful wife, Elsie Batten. With my heart too heavy to measure, I am now suffering immeasurable grief. Now, my good friends, I will tell you of my faithful and compassionate friend, Reverend Ernest Batten. Ernie Batten was love, light, beauty and a comfort in a world of craziness, absurdity, unpredictably and idiocy! My good friend, Ernie, showed me and and all us, residents who live at the Visiting Nurse Association of Eastern Mass. Senior Living Residence, how beautiful, loving, wonderful and astonishing this world actually is! Ernie, I and all of us, residents live in this bright, clean and warm/co

DANCING DOWN THE RED CARPET AT OUR OSCAR PARTY MARCH, 2024

Happy Oscar Sunday! I love the Oscars  almost as much as I love watching movies! We had an Oscar Party in the building in which I live in on last Friday afternoon! There were appetizers, popcorn, mock tales, tiny meatballs and other delicacies. My favorite were the tiny, chocolate cupcakes that were covered with a generous amount of  vanilla frosting! I willingly munched away at 2 of these munchkin cupcakes! Here are photos of myself dressed, alert and prepared to dance down the Red Carpet! (Hello from the Oscars  (in my apt at the building that I live in)!  Love, smiles, laughter, hopes, kindness, gratitude and prayers, Evelyn (Pinto)

PROBLEMS IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM 3-5-2024

I am extremely grateful for the advances in the Medical field that has saved my life and the lives of countless others. What I am extremely unhappy about is how Healthcare is presented. Being a healthcare recipient and in this unfair Medical System, problems tend to be vastly unfair to the healthcare consumer. Those who have a few initials with their names automatically have credibility . People like me, healthcare recipients, always have to fight for this credibility. This is especially true when wrong has been done to any of us at the hands of the very people whose job it is to care for us. These wrong doers, though I need to believe they are in the minority, tell lies that speak truth to many. With being so sick and also being the victim of their wrong doings, it's a fight just to believed. Even if we are believed rarely is their justice or even disciplinary actions taken against these offenders. As a healthcare recipient, our credibility is continually questioned while for peop

SLEEPY &; THINKING IN MY RECLINER 2-15-2024

Thinking While Cozy, In My Recliner Sleepilly, I think, while I lay cozily nesting in my recliner at my apt. Wrapped safe and tight, in the safety of my apt,   I am consumed by the warmth and comfort of my pretty pink robe. Now, I think... It's Friday afternoon and I haven't felt physically well for a long stretch of time. Fatigued, shortness of breath, exhaustion, tiredness, weakness, low energy, etc... have captured most of my days lately. Emotionally, I am distressed, distraught, feel abandoned, lost, frightened and hurt! There are people I hoped would be here with me, and help me as I battle the difficult, the unimagineable and the frightening. These people, I hoped, would come, sit, talk, listen and stay with me. In their hands would be gifts wrapped with ribbons of color. Attached to these ribbons of the multitude of bright colors are wonderful boxes with smiley stickers in all sizes! As I gaze into the hearts of these Gifts of Womder, smiles, laugher, gratitude and love

I AM SOOO SICK 1-2024

Pneumonia UGH... I'm sooo sick... The night before last and early morning yesterday, I woke up feverish, freezing, super congested and feeling really, really sick! The doctor started me on antibiotics yesterday. I woke up early this morning feeling super sick and deeply congested! I felt like I was smothering inside of myself I'm soooo sick, freezing, exhausted,  super congested, fatigued, weak, tired  and I am plagued with the worst headache ever! Even more worrisome symptoms are popping up in my body! The hospitals I know are crazy at this time! I hope my doctor would act appropriately and order the necessary tests: blood work, urine sample and chest x-ray. Depending on the type of pneumonia, the Z pack doesn't always work in many cases and, also, different pneumonias! I do pray that my new doctor orders these necessary tests today. I am fighting this disease and, also, other serious, chronic illness(es) in me. I don't understand why I'm fighting still fo r the ne

BE AN INFORMED, ETHICAL, CARING & KNOWLEDGEABLE VOTER 1-2024

We don't  necessarily need a new person as president. President Biden is trying his best to serve the American people and help all of us! He cannot do it without Congress. At this time, the United States Congress has proven to be not functional and definitely not in anyone, especially us, citizens of the United States of America's, best interest! Problems With Congress: 1) Unwillingness of its' members to work with others, especially to work with those who think differently than from them 2) Wanting it all or they will do nothing! 3) Endorsing a candidate and loyalty to this sick man with 96 felony accounts and who has also bragged about exercising even more horrendous behavior 4) Seeing Wrong,         5) Doing Wrong 6) Defending Wrong 7) Not Calling Out Wrong 8) Attempting to Create  Wrong into Right My friends, whatever is wrong, and however you choose to  charactize the wrong it as, it's still "wrong"! I only ask that Congress represent all of America and n
