ALLERGY SEASON: Yay 😟


My head aches; my eyes run with triggered tears, they itch & burn - sunlight on them, from any angle, hurts; nasal drip has caused blisters to appear on the back of my tongue; sneezing is giving me whiplash … and coughing makes me sound like a barking dog: all I want to do is sleep 😟

This should help my head & throat …

WA State does not like me - and the feeling is mutual.

We'll be here, in Ocean Park-WA, until July.

CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS USED IRISH ORPHANS AS 'VACCINE GUINEA PIGS' IN 1930'S

* Scientists secretly gave 2,051 children and babies diphtheria vaccine

* They were used as guinea pigs for drugs giant Burroughs Wellcome in 1930s

* Academic Michael Dwyer uncovered shock truth in old medical records

* He found no evidence of consent, nor of how many died or were affected

* Comes as Irish PM intervenes from U.S. over scandal of mass baby grave

* Hundreds of babies are believed to have been buried at former baby home

* Enda Kenny says he’s ordered his officials to examine ‘if there are others’

Scientists secretly vaccinated more than 2,000 children in religious-run homes in suspected illegal drug trials.

Old medical records show that 2,051 children and babies in Irish care homes were given a one-shot diphtheria vaccine for international drugs giant Burroughs Wellcome between 1930 and 1936.

There is no evidence that consent was ever sought, nor any records of how many may have died or suffered debilitating side-effects as a result.

The scandal was revealed as Irish premier, Enda Kenny, ordered ministers to see whether there are more mass baby graves after the discovery that 800 infants may be buried in a septic tank outside a former mother and baby home in Tuam, Co. Galway.

Tuam Babies Discovery 'truly appalling', Says Kenny: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39178608

Children at Sean Ross Abbey in Tipperary are thought to have been used in secret drug trials in the 1930s.

Children’s homes are under the spotlight since it emerged that 796 babies may be buried at the former mother and baby home at Tuam, Co. Galway – Enda Kenny has ordered officials to see if other mass graves exist.

The Irish premier has ordered his officials to examine the possibility that there may be other mass graves, too

The Taioseach intervened from the United States yesterday to say that he had ordered his officials to ‘see what the scale is, what’s involved here, and whether this is isolated or if there are others around the country that need to be looked at.’

Michael Dwyer, of Cork University’s School of History, found the child vaccination data by trawling through tens of thousands of medical journal articles and archive files.

He discovered that the trials were carried out before the vaccine was made available for commercial use in the UK.

Homes where children were secretly tested included Bessborough, in Co. Cork and Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, both of which are at the centre of the mass baby graves scandal.

Other institutions where children may also have been vaccinated include Cork orphanages St Joseph’s Industrial School for Boys, run by the Presentation Brothers, and St Finbarr’s Industrial School for Girls, run by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd.

In Dublin, it is believed that children for the trials came from St Vincent’s Industrial School, Goldenbridge, St Joseph’s School for Deaf Boys, Cabra, and St Saviours’s Dominican Orphanage.

But Mr Dwyer said: ‘What I have found is just the tip of a very large and submerged iceberg.

‘The fact that no record of these trials can be found in the files relating to the Department of Local Government and Public Health, the Municipal Health Reports relating to Cork and Dublin, or the Wellcome Archives in London, suggests that vaccine trials would not have been acceptable to government, municipal authorities, or the general public.

‘However, the fact that reports of these trials were published in the most prestigious medical journals suggests that this type of human experimentation was largely accepted by medical practitioners and facilitated by authorities in charge of children’s residential institutions.’

Innocents: children from the Sean Ross Abbey home in Tipperary, Ireland

A spokesman for GSK – formerly Wellcome – said: ‘The activities that have been described to us date back over 70 years and, if true, are clearly very distressing.

‘We would need further details to investigate what actually took place, but the practices outlined certainly don’t reflect how modern clinical trials are carried out. We conduct our trials to the same high scientific and ethical standards, no matter where in the world they are run.’

A spokeswoman for the Sisters of Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the order that ran Bessborough and Sean Ross Abbey, said that like GSK, they would also welcome an independent inquiry.

Fianna FΓ‘il leader MicheΓ‘l Martin called on the Irish government to add vaccine trials into the investigative remit of any inquiry into the mother and baby homes.

He said: ‘We need to start with an independent investigation into the mother and baby homes which would be followed by a wider separate investigation into the vaccine testing.’

Historian Catherine Corless, whose discovery of the suspected mass baby grave at Tuam was revealed by the Mail earlier this week, said her study of death records for the St Mary’s home run by Catholic Bon Secours nuns from 1925-1961 pointed to the existence of the mass grave.

Children’s homes in Ireland were often the only place where a woman pregnant out of wedlock could go.

Children were looked after by nuns and often adopted abroad – now it seems they were used in drugs trials, too

The Irish PM interrupted a trade visit to San Francisco to order an inquiry in the Tuam home and others, saying that Dublin must decide what is the ‘best thing to do in the interest of dealing with yet another element of our country’s past.’

St Mary’s was one of several such ‘mother and baby’ homes for ‘fallen women’ who had become pregnant outside marriage in early 20th century Ireland.

Another such institution was the Sean Ross Abbey in Tipperary, was where Philomena Lee gave up her son for adoption in the 1950s. Her story was made into the Oscar-nominated film ‘Philomena’ last year.

The ‘mother and baby’ homes accommodated women who were ostracized from their own families and had nowhere else to turn.

Under conservative Catholic teaching of the time, children born outside of marriage were not baptized and were therefore denied a Catholic burial on consecrated ground.

MOD SUMMER RHAPSODY KITCHEN TOWEL SET; Quartzsite-AZ

MOD Summer Rhapsody Kitchen Towel Set

I designed this towel set months ago when my husband first mentioned that we would be wintering along the Oregon Coast, this year: previous desert-themed towels were out … and beach-themed kitchen towel sets would need to be designed and crafted - I don't mind. I like designing and crafting πŸ‘Œ

This cotton hand towel is simplistic in design, color, texture, & materials. Cotton yarn is good for dishtowels because it wicks moisture off hands and dishes (if you hand wash/hand dry dishes) – for this very reason, I prefer my handmade cotton towels, & dishcloths, over the recycled plastic fiber kitchen towels sold in stores that are basically worthless in wicking; they do have cute designs stamped on them, but their stiff plastic fiber material is not useful.

I used the odds & ends of previous towel leftover yarns to make up this simple towel design. This colorful stash-busting kitchen towel design is gentle on the eyes while it add a cozy ambience vibe to your kitchen πŸ˜‰

My kitchen is a very small area:

We'll be here until July; Ocean Park-WA.
Farmhouse RV Kitchen.

By choice, we live a gypsy life. We like the freedom & flexibility 🀠 it allows us.

This year we will be shifting Independence between Ocean Park-WA (where we are set up, now ☕️☔️) & aiming for the southernmost Oregon coastal town of Brookings, near the California border later on, at the end of the Summer Season here.

When I had finished the towel, and was looking at it spread out before me, it reminded me of a field of flowers: the only word that spoke to my gypsy heart, was [rhapsody] 🌹🌺🎢🌞

Deep Purple - 'Anya' song: 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9o4gkQDkiw)

Rhapsody is an effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling = "effusively" means expressing feelings or emotions, especially positive ones like pleasure, gratitude, or approval, in a very enthusiastic and unrestrained way; "enthusiastic" means having, or showing eager enjoyment, interest, or approval; "ecstatic expression" means feeling very happy and full of excitement … the Spring sunshine, & Summer warmth brings out these emotions; and time spent on the beach adds a special bonus to the atmosphere 😁

This towel set pattern is very easy to work.

SELF-CARE DAY; Ocean Park-WA

This morning Holland drove into Longview to celebrate his brother Scott's BD - I stayed home.

I was so miserable when I went to bed last night … and did not feel much better when the alarm went off, this morning. So, I stayed behind.

Jake's morning text.

Besides spending time with Scott and his family, Holland also planned to shop around for a part he needs for an immediate project.

We both agreed πŸ‘©‍❤️‍πŸ’‹‍πŸ‘¨ that I would just stay home and tend to self-careπŸ™: so, that's what I did πŸ˜‰

Salvaged Chicken broth for lunch.
I snuggled under Holland's heated blanket w-a Clive Cussler novel & my Tablet; it was chilly & windy, here, between snoozes.

I'll go with him next time ❤️

When he came home … he came bringing Supper πŸ‘Œ

Supper brought home to me; lasagna, meatballs, & salad ;-)

Mr. Stein~CBS Sunday Morning Commentary 2010

December 31, 2010: No Christian could have said this better than Mr. Stein who is a Jew. Beautiful.

I only hope we find GOD again before it is too late!

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat...

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school... The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about.. And we said okay..

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

EARTH ANGEL~Irene Sendler

Look at this lady - Let us never forget!

The world hasn't just become wicked...it's always been wicked. The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving.

Irena Sendler~Died,12 May 2008 (aged 98) Warsaw, Poland

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive'. She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews (being German).

Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids).

She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family.

Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.

She was not selected.

President Obama won one year before becoming President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN and Al Gore won also --- for a slide show on Global Warming.

In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER

I'm doing my small part by forwarding this message.

I hope you'll consider doing the same.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.

This is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to be 'a myth' … it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

This message is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!

Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.

Please send to people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain.

Please don't just over look it. It will only take you a minute to pass this along.
