PCOS

I just found out the other day that i have PCOS,Polycystic ovary syndrome. I dont have ALL the symptoms but i have enough to make them want me on metformin. I'm trying my hardest to not google it because i really dont want to know all the problems it can cause for me. All i know is that im going to do my best to lose weight in hopes that i will get healthier and this stuff will go away.
Dont feel sorry for me,i caused this mess myself by over eating and not working out. I have no one to blame but myself.

Navy Deaths...just another day (old but forgot to post)

While talking to my co-worker (he is prior Navy) we got on the subject of the death rates from world war 2 compared to now. He said that the death rates on the carriers back then were much higher then today. I then asked him if there were any bariel's at sea on his carrier, which he replied "no". So i asked if during his 4 years in the Navy if there were any deaths at all and he stated that "yeah, there were 2 guys who died of alchohol poisoning. they were found dead in their bunks". WTF?!?!?!

Of course me and my ever-so-nosey mind decided to do some googling on how many alchohol related deaths there were in the Navy.

Suprise suprise, lookey what i found. Sure enough the two guys my co-worker had told me about were NOT the only two too have done this.Apperantly two navy men were found dead in their hotel rooms in Ghana, Africa back in january of 2008 while on liberty (which means they can go off the ship and do as they please).the third person was found alive.

On another link i found this list of people whom have died in the military and it listed what they died from,their rank and the day,month and year they died. Here is the death from the Navy.
" Navy
14 Jan 06 FC2 found deceased in hotel room by roommate. Possible alcohol poisoning."

those deaths i have mentioned were all in just the past 5 years. i have found links showing deaths dating back to as far as i could find.

Why is this happeneing?

I understand that the Navy, as well as many other branches , have rules and reading material on all this, yet guys still die.

Who do we blame more?

The Military, who doesnt do enough to insure that their soldiers are educated in the dangers of large amounts of alchohol consumption? (too me, a small panflit and maybe a few meetings doesnt do shit to help the issue or even combat it)

The parents , who may or may not have ,since day one, attempted to educate their kids on the dangers of peer pressure and drinking? (which even if they did,it all comes down to if the kid is smart enough to understand right from wrong)

The Media, for glorifying this habit of consuming large amounts of alchohol both socially and at home?

Or do we blame the soldier, who should have had the commensense to stop drinking after 3 drinks while in a foriegn country or even at home?

in my mind, all 4 are too blame.

Tell me what you think! i am very interested in your in-put. :)

here is the story of the shooting

Victims of a quadruple shooting that left one man dead early Sunday morning in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood told paramedics responding to the scene that someone had tried to rob them, a fire department spokeswoman said today.Fire spokeswoman Lt. Mindy Talmadge also said paramedics heard shots fired as they helped a wounded person.”There was an attempted robbery, and while we were attending to one of the victims, they heard more gunfire,” Talmadge said.Talmadge said it is not known where the gunfire came from, and no other injuries were reported. She said it doesn’t appear the paramedics were the target.”Our people were not being shot at,” she said.The initial shooting, which happened at 2:30 a.m. in a Minna Street parking lot between First and Second streets, left 26-year-old Blair Henderson, of San Francisco, dead, and three others injured. One of the victims was released from the hospital Sunday.Two people remained hospitalized today, one in critical condition.Police are seeking witnesses to the shooting, which occurred in a busy nightclub district.”There are clubs in that area, and some of these individuals were apparently patrons at some of these clubs,” homicide Inspector Antonio Casillas said.”We need people who were there, who know the people involved” to come forward, he said.No arrests have been made.Casillas declined to comment on a possible motive for the shooting, which he said was preceded by an “altercation.”"We have a wealth of information, but information in and of itself does not amount to evidence,” he said.Police are also investigating whether the shooting was gang-related.The incident is the latest in a recent wave of violence at or near San Francisco nightclubs. Some city leaders have criticized the city’s Entertainment Commission for not taking a more proactive role in enforcement.Police spokesman Officer Boaz Mariles said today that club owners and promoters also have to take responsibility.”We need the clubs to take more accountability for their patrons after closing,” Mariles said.”They need to disperse the crowds, they need to ensure the crowds aren’t loitering and creating a public nuisance to the surrounding communities,” he said. “It’s just good business, being a good neighbor and conducting good business. Because realistically, who’s going to come to an unsafe club?”"The department looks forward to working with the club owners and promoters, in ways to ensure the safety of the club’s patrons, even after closing time,” Mariles said.

Work, hour by hour drama

10:44pm - got to work early, shit is already going down.

11:00pm - I'm at work and find new rules because some dumb-ass lost the FCC key,which is VERY important and is something you NEVER want to lose.It opens the door ,to a room that has a panel, that goes off when something is wrong in the building (fire,smoke,etc..). We use the key ,to open the door, so we can check the panel as well as allow the fire department or engineers in there during an emergency so they know where the problem is located.
The rules are something i am used to from other sites, but the rest of my coworkers are pissed. haha such spoiled brats.

12:00am- While doing my interior rove, i got the crap scared out of me by employees i didn't know were still in the building. I am so jumpy tonight.

12:57am - Not even 3 hours into my shift i found the "Master key set" key box open.It's not supposed to be opened by anyone unless they have permission. the damn thing sends an email to all the big wigs if anyone has done anything to it. So of course i had to write a report about it. god!

1:00am- I'm sitting here in the SOC (Security Office) and all 3 of the damn large computer screens are blinking for some reason. I feel like I'm about to have a seizure. hhmmm....anyone for a rave in here? :P

2:30am - As i sit in my seat typing all this out, some major shit just went down in the alley by my work. As everyone knows, my work is near a club that pretty much is the favorite of all the hood rats and thugs. its 2:30 am and the club is starting to empty out. Out of no where i hear this popping sound, like a gun, then a whole lot of popping sounds after it. At first i thought it was a gun because the beginning shots sounded like it. But then i second guessed myself because the other shots were so many,so fast,that it came off like fire-crackers. Several minutes later a load of ambulance's,fire engine's and cop's came racing towards the alley next to my work.Come to find out, those really were gun shots. I'm assuming some one or some people got hit, because those ambulances raced away fast. An employee who was working late tonight heard the shots as well.
How shitty is that? you leave your house thinking you were just going to party with some friends ,not knowing that at the end of the night you were going to get shot up? that's fucking crazy...but that's life out here.

3:00am - I'm on lunch break,playing on the computer. I just looked up the worst places to eat in SF. I found this little gem of a link.
http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2007/07/rat_shit_and_dinner_the_dirtie.php

I have eatin' at naan n' curry. :( i think I'm going to be sick.

3:54am - I left to go do my exterior patrol at this time and as i was about to turn the corner, i noticed a cop van and a few cop cars in the alley where the shooting occurred. i looked closer and noticed yellow crime scene tap and what looked like a yellow tarp on the ground in front of a cop car. there were pictures being taken. I hate to assume but, there must be a dead body under that thing.Wow, that guys night is ruined.

4:00am - I'm monitoring the SOC again.Damn flickering screens are giving me a headache and i have only been sitting in here for 10 minutes. haha

5:00am -it's starting to sprinkle outside. ggrrr.

5:16am - My co-worker went over to the crime scene in the alley, came back and confirmed that there is in-fact a body on the ground. The police are taking pictures (also being pricks) and about to take his body away. yup, you heard me right, it's in fact a guy, a young guy. the crime scene tape is still up.

6:00am - I'm rover again...yay! tons of walking to be done.

7:00am - GOING HOME!!! WOOT!!

Greg feel free to enjoy :)

these pics were from Chinchie and I Valentines date. hehe I looked like shit and a lesbo but i had fun. damn Prednisone made me fat! :( Also there are some pics of the turtles and one of me before the workshop on the base! :)

one odd 45min bus ride before halloween

When i got on the bus to head to work i knew i was in for one hell of a ride, visually. haha
Ok so as i step on the bus there is a werewolf putting money in the machine so he can get his ticket.He was accompanied by a hippie lady. After i sat down this is what i got to see for 45 minutes...
Cookie monster
Pinnochio
a woman in a silk nighty and rollers in her hair
the mario brothers
an alchoholic ( i dont think that was a costume)
bam bam
a lounge singer
pekachoo (some asian cartoon)
batman
miss piggy
the solar system
a crack whore (o wait! that one wasn't a costume either.)
a scene kid
a dr.
and the list keeps going on and on. haha

so how is that for a 45 min bus ride?

FLEET WEEK!!! sunday's post!

Ok people i have a lot too say so get ready!


The day started like this... After i got off work i went straight home and started getting ready.Me being the sometimes genious person that i am,decided too curl my hair.It took me almost an hour and a half too curl my hair! o man i was soo tired.the night prior i had only gotten maybe 6 hours of sleep so i was really struggling. I finished with my make-up and getting dressed and i must say i looked cute. Lucky for me my sister Cynthia decided she would go with so we met up outside the house. She looked soo pretty!!! she and i thought i was a bit over donembut my excuse is that it was fleet week and we gotta look good for when we get on that Coast Guard Cutter The Boutwell.


Chnchie and i took the bus and man i know how too cuase trouble. Some black guy who looks like he wouldnt blink an eye while stabbing and or killing me, was in the back with us and decide too pop the emergency window open so he can smoke pot on the bus....who the fuck does that?!?!?! uuuhhh i hate ghetto black people.well it started too come near me and frankly i have ashma so i really didnt want too have hard time breathing the entire bus ride, So i opened my big mouth and loudly told Chinchie.."uugghh it smells back here lets go to the front it smells like pot back here". Yup i did in fact start shit that im now guessing has signed our death certificate's. We walked too the front of the bus and when i looked back the dude was watching us probably knowing i was about to rat his ass out. i told cynthia to hold my things while i went and told the bus driver.I told the bus driver who then went to the back of the bus then came back claining he smelt nothing,i then told him who was doing it and he again came back up saying if he smelt it again he would kick him off...yeah sure like i believe that. Well my sister decided the tell me during this time that i was holding people up and making them late...i told her too "grow some balls" . Dont be afraid too speak up when something isn't right. that's what i think. Well i could hear people kind of making grunts and such too show they weren't please but i don't get it! when someone does something right people get mad but when someone is doing something wrong they allow it?!?!? What the fuck!? Well Excuse me! i hate too have too take 7 minutes out of your life too make something better! Well after all that we stopped at Van ness and the dude walked all the way too the front too stare us down! let me explain too you something,the bus we were on has three doors, one in the back where he was,one in the middle and one near the criver where we were.The guy walked ALL THE WAY too front...starred my sister down then starred me down then got out of the bus. ok first that nig could have gotten off on the back of the bus and secondly does he actually think looking at us as if his poluted mind was getting a mental image going too do something too us?!?! i must say after that chinch and i were kind of stunned. I felt bad because he really starred Chinch down which worries me because she takes the kids on the bus all the time and i just wish i hadnt opened my mouth. I started telling her not too wear that outfit for atleast two weeks and stuff. lol its funny now but i truly am scared for her. :(


We arrived downtown and decided too buy some earings for my outfit as well as some bandaids because my new shoes had caused cuts in the back if my foot and well as near my toes. After that we took a muni train and met up with Lindsay.


U.S.S GREEN BAY!!!

Ok so here is what sucked! about the whole ship thing.There was a HUGE line! i didn't know if we would have to stand there or not so we all got the nerve too walk up too these three fully loaded military men ,one with a dog, and asked about the supposed bbq and the line. Well come too find out that bbq i heard about from our ombudsmen wasn't for the coast guard and stuff but was insted for the navy and THEIR families.We also found out that we had too stand in line.....Talk about a bummer! haha Well we all walked back and kept ourselfs entertained by cracking jokes,taking pics,finding hot navy guys too take pics with and watching a little boy dressed in ACU's kick the crap out of another little boy . haha too funny. aaahhh Guatonamo all over. :P

Once we finally got to the gat Lindsay and I flashed out dependents cards and my sister fumbled to find her id.We all walked up too the scanners and of course got checked from head too toe to make sure we weren't packin heat....We all passed but Chinchie was left feeling frazzled. lol she doesn't do well in those types of situations.

Once in the ship we walked up the ramp and at the end of that lovely ramp there was a young navy man helping everyone stepped down....i of course allowed him too help me. haha

Omg they had us turn the corner and walk, of course i thought it would be a hall way but no.insted im greeted by this HUGE ramp that as step as a San Francisco hill....while walking up it i was cracking up with the ladies and just about pissed myself...which wouldn't be the last time this day that i would do that. Once at the top we of course were on the flight deck and were shown some do das and gadgets blah blah blah.the best part was making one of the Navy guys laugh because i was telling the ladies that the basketball hoop was manditory and had a purpose on this wonderful ship...it held drugs!...no it didn't i was messing around but the dude thought it was funny.some how we got on the subject of ping pong....then curtosy of lindsay,beer pong! haha good times.

after that it was just a maze of halls and stairs that were so steep that you had too go down them backwards.At ine point lindz didn't notice cynth had stopped going down and so she kept going which planted her ass right in cynths face.I couldn't help but blurt out "ass in the face!" from that poitn on whenever i walked down the stairs i kept calling out "ass in the face!".

Here is a video of that.





Once we found our way too the sleeping quarters thats when the jokes ,peeing and fun really started. I had always wanted too see what kind of conditions greg has too sleep in and my god its sad.Those beds are so small.I started taking pictures when i heard some noise behind me so i turn around and find my sister hopping into the middle bunk telling me to take a picture quickly....of course i do. i start laughing cuz i dont know why she did it then i also start thinking were gonna get caught but then as usual she some how convinced me too do it...so i do...or at least i try.i went too go jump into it but couldn't. lol So i settled for "slipping" into the bottom one....i had the hardest time getting out,i somehow tripped while on my knees and went fast first into my sisters crotch.. .that's when the laughter really started and the pee started poking its head out on me. i eventually composed myself enough too where we could out like nothing was wrong.We walked out to the inner hanger again and decided too go back too the bunks and take a pic of lindsay in one.At this time i was looking in the mirror too see how badly i looked,so vain i know.haha

we finally made our way back to the inner flight deck and took some pictures as well as made a man feel uncomfortable. haha then decided to leave to find the Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell.



USCG BOUTWELL!

OMFG!!!! I have never walked so far.We walked and walked and walked too find that damn cutter.we kept looking for a cab too hail and finally gave up and took a trolley.once at the gate for the cutter we flashed our dependent cards and id.I was surprised too see three grey Canadian boats side by side in front of the Cutter Boutwell. O sweet jesus another line! was literally all that went through my head. when we were on the cutter we took pics and bullshitted wit h some of the guys as well as got creeped out by a man we call crazy dimple man. i thought he was hot but the ladies didn't. lol

Either way it was fun but not much too talk about because they only let us stay on the outside....boo!!!!!

We decided too head it over too hooters for dinner so we left. As we were walking towards the exit gate we got hit on by a Canadian sailor...he was quickly shot down. hahaha





HOOTERS!!

We had finally made it too hooters and grabbed some much needed grub,took pics and had a good time.At that time i started feeling the long day catch up too me. i was soo ready too go home.



CABS SUCK!

For anyone who thinks they can catch a cab down town....think again! fucking cab drivers in this city are stupid! once cabbie [picked us up out i of our sweet spot and took us one blog and told us to get out because i needed too pay for card and he claimed too not have any change..the fucker screwed himself out of a $40 cab ride! fucking idiot. So instead we hopped on a trolley which was just as fun because i hadn't been one....even though i have lived here this long. lol



finally home. :)



well we finally made it home and i passed out! god i have never been so tired. but all in all i must say i had a great day and would love too do it again,but with better shoes. lol



well till next time peeps!......



p.s. i will be posting more pics of this day in the days too come. :) enjoy!
