		<description>It&#039;s been a while, and I now no longer work for an appliance dealer, so I feel free to say what I believe to be true, without comprimising anybody.

First...Maytag...once a great family run opperation, with solid products...then boom...they start breaking down, washers leaking, overall not so good...and a corperation to boot.

About two years ago from what I understand...Whirlpool purchased the bankrupt remains of Maytag, and vowed to put them back on the map.

And they are.

Maytag washers and dryers are great again...but don&#039;t be surprised if you notice that the interiors look almost identical to the Whirlpool ...because they are.

Right now the Maytags tend to be the better deals, but the look isn&#039;t as nice as the Whirlpool...but if you want great function...(in front loaders) for a fair price...the whirlpool and the Maytag are almost the same thing....one or the other might have one or two additional functions, and the outsides look different, but they are the same great quality.

So if you are on your way out to purchase appliances...don&#039;t be afraid of Maytag, they are not the same as a few years ago...so anything pretty much in the past year is actually a better product, now that Whirlpool owns them.</description>

		<description>Yup...I know where your coming from...I have had a couple of real interesting characters in both countries...my second and last pregnancy was horror with the PGYN(did I say that write)...anyway I was in a small community and they had a great Baby Dr there, but he was booked up, so I couldn&#039;t get in...and I had a very high risk pregnancy...so this Dr Brown his name was, worked with me..but he was a real jerk, and didn&#039;t get the records from my previous birthing experience...which was bad...anyhow...he turned out to be a real drunk and two week before I was due I went to a different Dr...the other guy was a nut.

Still...I can tell you more horror stories from Canada then the USA...and so right now my opinion is there are bad apples all over, but when its the way you are expected to be...then something is wrong.

:)...hope your New Doc is much Better.</description>

		<description>So.. That kind of frightens me. I&#039;ve been to doctors in the US that freak out and yell because I have a panic attack. He told me I needed medication because that wasn&#039;t right. Uh, lots of people have problems with doctor&#039;s offices. The nurses understood, but not that little guy.. Then, he told me he wanted to test my blood because, well, no real reason. Yikes!

On top of that, the next time I went to the office, I got a different doctor (of course). When I told him I thought I had a UTI, because that&#039;s what was wrong with me last time and I got medication for it, he looked through my records and couldn&#039;t find it! The last doctor only wrote down how I had a panic attack and nothing about the prescription that he gave me! That&#039;s just crazy.. Really.</description>

		<description>Well, it&#039;s been a while since I&#039;ve had a chance to get back in here, and many things have changed for sure.

One thing that has changed is that we moved to Canada, and are living on the west coast, by the water...yippy...which has made a huge difference in my creativity, and spirit.

So much more freedom to express here then in that small town in colorado...yet in some ways I kinda miss it...still...I feel more so that my energy can flow here, without a whole lot of hampering.

My family got together a little over a week ago to play Transformation, which is a spiritually based game that helps you work thru an issue, more or less...LOL...you&#039;ll have to actually have played it, or maybe go to the web site to understand what I mean.

Anyhow...one of the things you have to do in this game to start with is write your intention, basically what it is you are dealing with or want to integrate into your life etc.

That of course for me is the part I usually have a great deal of trouble with...I simply have a hard time focusing on one thing...however as I sat there, having stressed for a couple of hours over it before hand, it came to me.

One of the things I think most of us strive for, if not conciously, then subconciously, is to be in balance with our physical self, emotional self, mental self and spiritual self...so that basically was my intention.

Of course the task is no easy one, with all the stress&#039;s of our lives, which tend to pile up daily when we are not looking...LOL...but I&#039;m sure it can be done.

The thing that is somewhat daunting about it is that when I think of a person in balance, I always envision a buddist munk, someone whom has been meditating for the past 30 or 40 years, and lives in a mountain community!

Anyway, the challenge is on, and I feel pretty confident that all my parts are at a place where a smooth and effortless merging is possible, and the next step in my personal evelution.

Also, somewhere along the line, I&#039;m hoping that it will all effect my spelling as well...lol.

Namaste

		<description>As we travel thru this life, as we age, things seemingly become clearer to us, the pieces of the puzzle begin to finally fit together and we are able to see the greater picture or purpose to our lives.

While we may not have the same understandings exactly, and we may not have the same or a similar path, each of us seem to come to some form of understanding about spirit and universe as time pass’s.

There have been many books written and sermons spoken, and yet only some of each become the pieces of our personal puzzle that we are creating in our lives, in our minds etc.

It is interesting to me that lessons learned, or information remembered from my childhood are today finally becoming something of understanding, after all these years those seemingly strange or out of place events have meaning finally.

I imagine that the older I get the more pieces will fall into place, as I suppose would be the natural evolution of my spirit.

I’ve noticed lately how so many people now are becoming “enlightened” or are “awakening” to the understanding of spirit, or maybe it would be better to say that more and more people are becoming aware in truth that they and all of us are indeed spiritual beings first, and that we are enjoying a human experience.

Seems to me that most people, including myself at times in my life, view themselves (ourselves), as human beings with a spirit instead of acknowledging that we are spirits experiencing a human existence.

That is one thing I’ve really believed for many years now, yet not in it’s entirety as this past few weeks I’ve been seeing it in a more richly lit manner, and it is becoming more of who I am then simply a belief.

I think it became more evident when I wrote out my life mission or life intention, and my mother made that comment about how she had never heard of an intention that was based in spirituality, and I suppose that really came home to me and I looked back on my life, and the conflicts I’ve had and realized that in many ways, I have been struggling with the concept for many years.

I’ve struggled over the years in trying to find a balance with the 3d world around me and humanity, while I have been seeing this experience in many ways thru spiritual eyes…I really believe I was born and have lived in this world for the most part with one foot in spirit and one foot in 3d.

While there have been times when I have felt fully here, fully grounded here and have been able to fully experience a short time what it feels like being here, but mostly I feel like I’m always half here and half there, not fully experiencing either one at any given time.

Now while in many ways I have felt angry about this, I do realize at this point that there are very good reasons for it, and it allows me to do what I need to do here at this time, whatever that might be at any given time.  I am guessing that some of my abilities in art, in writing and in seeing things in this world abstractly might have a lot to do with the openness, and the ability to see others etc.

Of course over the years I’ve lived in a state of confusion about many things, even when I’ve studied them and understand on an intellectual level, my spiritual side goes “huh”…LOL.

Anyhow…this is another musing, and I hope that it makes some sense.

Love, Peace, Gratitude
