Women Can Urinate Anyplace, Anytime and Anywhere (Wheelchair and BedConfined)

March 23rd 2006 Posted to Articles
Are you confined to a wheelchair? Do you know anybody confined to a wheelchair? Do you like to be independent? Do you like to travel? Does peeing make this impossible and embarrassing for you? If your answer is yes, read on.

A few years ago I had emergency surgery on my knees and I could not walk for a few months. I never felt so helpless in my life. In the past I was always able to jump out of bed and walk to whatever activity needed to be done at that time. When I was wheelchair bound I felt like a rolling dead person. My independence was snatched away from me.

Suddenly, I needed assistance to just get in and out of bed. I had to be assisted into a wheelchair where I spent my entire day until I was helped back into bed at night.

SUDDENLY HANDICAPPED HELP!

My first hurdle was my kitchen all of a sudden it became my worst enemy. Did you know that kitchens were not designed for people in wheelchairs? Everything was way out of my reach.

My wheelchair did not have a magic button which when pushed orbed me high, higher, and highest just so I could reach the kitchen counter, sink, stove and refrigerator.

The next most embarrassing item was just going to the bathroom. This turned into a major production since I live in a mobile home and I have a long narrow hallway. My wheelchair navigated down the hallway badly scraping the walls.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE POTTY CALLS?

I needed assistance and had to call a friend who came over for potty and kitchen patrol. I was not completely useless I had my mind, my hands and arms all I was missing were my legs.

My friend had to wheel me down this long narrow hallway and then squeeze me into a small bathroom which was never designed for a wheelchair. I had to hobble painfully a few steps and then I had to be partially lifted onto the commode.

Would you like this to happen to you?

SECRET:

I was lucky I remembered back to when I was younger and used to transport my elderly aunt to her doctor’s appointments.

I remember when she first learned about this new fantastic small, urinal that drastically changed her life. It is a device made for women that can be slipped inside your clothes and attaches to long tubing that attaches to a disposable plastic bag.

Presto, the deed is done right in my wheelchair and nobody needs to know. I can do it by myself without assistance.

I CAN URINATE BY MYSELF IN MY WHEELCHAIR WITHOUT ASSISTANCE! YES!!!

I CAN URINATE BY MYSELF IN MY OWN BED AT NIGHT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE! YES!!!

I attached the long tubing to a plastic bag or jar during the night and I could urinate easily and freely without leaving my bed.

AIRPLANE TRIP:

During my last month confined to my wheelchair I had to make an unexpected trip by airplane to see my sister. I at first panicked for the simple reason of how was I going to urinate on the plane.

After a few minutes I realized I could use my little urinal device discretely in my airplane seat and nobody would ever be the wiser.

REASONS WHY YOU NEED A URINAL:

1. It slips discreetly under clothes and attaches to tubing which flows into a plastic disposable bag.

2. External small urinal catheter.

3. It gives you independence during the day and night.

4. You do not need to be lifted out of your wheelchair to use.

5. When in a store or restaurant you can use your urinal and place the plastic tubing into the toilet.

6. Can be used sitting in your seat on an airplane.

7. Can be used sitting in your seat in a car.

8. Can be used in bed by attaching a long hose to disposable plastic bags or jar.

9. It is small and light weight can fit into almost any purse.

THIS CAN BE USED… ANYPLACE, ANYTIME, AND ANYWHERE…

WOMEN! WAKE UP:

All women and children need to know about this device and how it can help people confined to their beds and wheelchairs, become independent in this tremendous important part of their daily living.

“I Want To Ride A Elephant”

March 23rd 2006 Posted to Uncategorized
“I WANT TO RIDE A ELEPHANT.” Do you have a dream? Did you ever reach for your dream?

As a child I would read and read a book on every subject.

My imagination exploded and everyday I would be somebody different.

One day I was a Lion Tamer at the circus cracking a long whip. The next day I was a Fireman who rescued babies from burning buildings. After that, I was a Ballerina twirling and whirling around the dance floor in pink toe shoes. The day after that, I was an Astronaut on a rocket ship to the moon and the next day, I heard myself say, “I WANT TO RIDE A ELEPHANT.”

My parents, my relatives and friends all assured me I could do and be anything I wanted to be when I grew up.

As I grew older I forgot about all the things I had thought up as a child except for one. “I WANT TO RIDE A ELEPHANT.”

When I told my parents this astonishing information, they laughed and they gave me several reasons why I could not ride on an elephant:

(1) You need to think about college and your future.

(2) This is something you can’t do so; therefore, why try.

(3) Where are you going to find an elephant to ride?

(4) You can not rent an elephant like you can rent a car or horse.

(5) It is impossible. Forget it grow up.

I heard a door slam shut in my head. Too many negatives and why bother following an impossible dream. To me that was the end of this particular dream.

I graduated from college and married my college sweet heart and had my fabulous family of a son and daughter. I was busy being a mom, working full time, and taking care of my home and family.

One day, I heard this nagging thought explode in my head “I WANT TO RIDE A ELEPHANT.” Once again I heard a door slam shut in my head. Bang. Bang. Bang. I told myself I was a responsible adult and did not have time for all this nonsense.

When I was in my forties I made a new friend. My new friend asked me one day out of the clear blue skies this fantastic question.

“Do you have a dream? Everybody should have a dream. What is yours?”

Stunned into silence I once again heard a door slam shut in my head. Bang. Bang. Bang. “I, I, I,” stuttered and could not finish my sentence. I finally muttered, “Yes I do have a dream, I WANT TO RIDE A ELEPHANT.”

My new friend said the most astonishing thing to me. “What have you done to accomplish this dream?”

I just looked at her in shock and astonishment. I was hearing something positive about my dream for the very first time in my life. This person was not being negative and telling me all the reasons I could not achieve my dream but was asking me what I have done to achieve my dream.

“Nothing,” I managed to mutter. “I have been told my entire life it was impossible to ride an elephant. So I never tried.” I hung my head in shame and humiliation.

My new friend gave me a sad look turned her back and walked away.

I sat a minute or two thinking about what she had just said to me. I heard a loud CRACK! The door that had been sealed shut all these years flung wide open.

Suddenly, I could see myself as a child telling my parents my dream. “I WANT TO RIDE A ELEPHANT.”

Now I had an idea. Not only an idea but I had a positive idea. Why couldn’t I explore the positive options of me riding on the back of an elephant?

My first question to myself was where would I find an elephant? Two places popped into my head immediately, the zoo or a circus.
I would start with the zoo. We had a wonderful zoo right here in my own town and I know from taking my children to the zoo they have several elephants.

Now I had to make the time to find out the contact information. Who would let me step across the doorway and help me full fill my lifelong dream?

As you can well understand this information was not that easy to obtain. All I did was sneak some phone calls in during my business hours. Who would know?

I finally was connected to a man who actually was the elephant’s trainer and keeper at my local zoo. I could not believe my ears. My heart hammered in my throat.

I found out the second Thursday morning of every month the zoo gave elephant rides to the children and they would make an exception for an adult.

That designated Thursday morning I jumped out of bed, hopped into my clothes and zoomed on down the freeway. I was going to be the first person that morning to ride an elephant.

I was the first person in line for the elephant ride and the elephant keeper remembered our telephone call. He shook my hand and was thrilled I was full filling my dream on his elephant.

My hands shook as I grabbed the elephant’s saddle, my knees felt like weak spaghetti but I pulled myself up onto the back of this beautiful, huge elephant and my heart fluttered and stopped.

The children lined up behind me laughing and pointing at the strange adult woman riding the elephant designated for children.

I did not care I was flying high, on top of the world and I did not want my elephant ride to ever end.

I had the elephant keeper take a picture of me way up high on top of this marvelous, beautiful animal and I have kept it on the wall of my bedroom ever since.

You can achieve your dream. Do not listen to the negativism bouncing off the walls around you. Whatever your dream is reach out and grab it and hold on to it with both hands. Never let it go.

That was my dream.

What is yours?

My sister and I actually rode on the back of an elephant when we were children. I had completely forgotten about this incident in our lives until after I had written this article.

I would love to hear from you. Just leave a comment on this article or any of my other articles.

Do You Know What Is Living Under Your Mobile Home?

March 19th 2006 Posted to Articles

Do you know what is living under your Mobile Home? Have you ever had an animal die under your home? Do you know the secret to keep wild animals away. Read on.

Do you know what is living underneath your mobile home? If you are lucky and your entire mobile home is resting on a cement slab this doesn’t concern you. But if your mobile home is sitting in the dirt or half on and half off cement? Read on.

What is living under your mobile home? Did you know there is a whole animal kingdom living under your home?

Wild animal love to dig and tunnel their way underground stopping under your mobile home to rest. They also like to dig from the outside of your home jump inside and get trapped and die.

DOES THIS HAPPEN OFTEN?

The answer is yes. The second year I lived in my mobile home I woke up one morning with the worst odor possible squeezing my senses. Even though I had lived in my home for a year I had never encountered this stench before.

I called a friend and he investigated and found a dead animal lying on the ground underneath the skirting on my mobile home. He though it was a opossum. Luckily it was close to the side and he just had to reach in and retrieve.

A few months later I once again woke to this wonderful aroma of another dead animal under my mobile home.

I called the local pest control place and they sent a representative to remove the dead skunk. The man said to me he had retrieved the dead skunk and the charge was $100.00 which I gladly paid to be able to live in my home and breathe.

RIPPED OFF:

That is not the end of this story. One week later on Mothers Day I woke once again to this horrific smell this time 10 times worse. Of course it was a weekend and holiday so I could not call the same company that had been out seven days ago.

I made several phone calls until I found a man that was willing to come out to my home on a holiday and remove the skunk.

He was a wonderful man who immediately bent over and entered the world of animal life and whatever habitats under my mobile home. He removed the dead skunk and called me out to see it. I had already explained about the other visit from the other company.

THIS IS WHAT HE TOLD ME:

This is the same skunk that was supposed to have been removed seven days prior. The man was either to lazy or thought he would run some kind of scam by being called back and get paid twice for removing the same animal. All he did was squirt some kind of chemical under my house to mask the odor.

He showed me the animal and I watched as he placed it inside his truck. He charged me $150.00 and drove off.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN:

I received a telephone call from this man about an hour later. He told me he was ripping up my check because he felt that I had been ripped off and he was ripping me off a second time. taking payment.

I argued with him to please cash the check I was grateful for him taking his time and coming out to my house and help me.

In the end he ripped up the check. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

PEST CONTROL COMPANY:

On Monday morning I called the Pest Control Company. I spoke to the lady in charge. She said the paperwork stated that the animal had been left and not removed.

Now I ask you, why would I lie about something like this. Anyway, the bottom line is I should have taken the extra step to make sure the animal was indeed removed. Also I had never received any paperwork from this representative of the company who supposedly removed the dead skunk.

This all happened a couple of years ago when the area I was living in was alive with fires. The animals were running for their lives and ended up dead under numerous mobile homes.

The city will send animal control to removed dead animals off the city streets or freeways but they do not enter private dwellings.

The reason I have written this story is for you the mobile home owner to be aware of what lurks beneath your mobile home.

SECRET:

After I had gone through this horrible mess twice my neighbor said to me. I have lived here for thirty years and I have never had a dead animal end up under my home. I use moth balls every six months, I throw moth balls under my mobile home. The animals hate the smell and do not bother with your home and go on to another victim.

I do not know whether this is a true fact or not but two years later I am happy to report NO DEAD ANIMALS UNDER MY MOBILE HOME!

IMPORTANT BULLETIN:

Now that I have your attention I would like to discuss something as a Mobile Home Owner is now crucial for all Mobile Home Owners that live in Parks.

Our State Legislatures are now reviewing the facts and fictions on mobile home parks.

We want our State Legislatures who represent us the voters to know what the facts are.

(1) Gouging rent increases. Rent increases any amount,or time. We are truly at the mercy of the Park owners.

(2) We want a sealing or freezing on the rent.

(3) Many Mobile Home Owners are now abandoning their homes and losing their money and home.

(4) If you move and leave your mobile home you still have to pay rent space.

(5) We would like the option to be able to purchase the park for ourselves. Who better to run and manage our Mobile Home Park but the people who live in it.

Those are the issues and many more. Please write, call, fax, or email your representatives.

If you do not know who they are ask your representatives of your Home Owners Association.

Please do your part. I am an owner of a Mobile Home and live in a Mobile Home Park.

Please feel free to check out any of my articles. I would love to hear from you.

An Instant Bladder Relief Urinal is a must for every women or child who is confined to a wheelchair, bed confined or has accidents.

An Instant Bladder Relief Urinal is also indespensable for women who have problems bending their legs to sit on a toilet at home or anywhere.

Think of the many times you go to your doctor’s office or hospital and an urine sample is requested and you have a major problem sitting down on the toilet.

An Instant Bladder Relief Urinal can eliminate all the above problems. It is a small urinal with short or long tubes and voids into a disposable plastic bag or any receptacle.

If you wear a diaper think of the money you spend on this product alone. Once it is used it is thrown away.

Instant Bladder Relief Urinal is a small urinal made of plastic. The tubing is made of plastic. It can be rinsed and used over and over again. The disposable/reusable plastic bags can be rinsed and used again.

If an Instant Bladder Relief Urinal is used at home you can run the tubing into a plastic bottle and not need a plastic bag.

I am trying to get the word out about this fantastic product for women. It will make you independent and if you have someone to help you at home that person can do other things. You will be able to handle this completely by yourself.

Mobile Home - Unfair Rent Raise (Buying Our Mobile Home Parks)

March 01st 2006 Posted to Articles

One of the big issues in front of our State Legislators today is the sales of the Mobile Home Parks.

Now when the owners want to sell their Mobile Home Park they find a party and sell it. The homeowners that live in that particular park do not hear about the sale until after the fact.

THIS MUST CHANGE:

THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN MOBILE HOME PARKS HAVE A RIGHT TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN PARK. After all they live there. If a new owner comes in the first thing they usually do is RAISE THE RENT.

Who better to maintain their own park than the Mobile Home owners that live there!

Mobile Home owners are usually on a fixed income; especially, in a Senior Park. What is happening in these Mobile Home Parks is scandalous. Taking advantage of people who have their entire world tied up in their home.

It is not just the Senior Parks but the family parks as well. There are more mouths to feed and many more expenses. What is a family to do?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE RENT?

(1) You sell your home and move.

(2) You move and still continue to pay rent space.

(3) You abandon your home and move.

It feels like a gigantic wave has entered the Mobile Home Park and is washing away their owners. Their homes are being abandoned at higher rates because of the rent increases.

RENT INCREASES ARE ON THE MERCY OF THE OWNERS OF THE MOBILE HOME PARKS. THERE ISN’T ANY SEALING OR FREEZE ON RAISING THE RENT. IT CAN BE RAISED ANY AMOUNT AND AT ANY TIME.

DOES ANYBODY CARE?

I don’t think they do. Somehow, I get the impression when you say you live in a Mobile Home you are a second class citizen. I own a small Mobile Home. I love it and I love my park. But with the rent increases who knows how long I will be able to live there.

Our State Legislature, who is supposed to be working for us, needs to take a good look at Mobile Home Parks. The reason I hear the State Legislatures have abandoned Mobile Park Owners and all their problems is:

(1) They do not receive any feed back from Mobile Home Owners: therefore, they think we are happy and thriving. But this is not the truth.

(a) There are many very old Senior citizens in the Mobile Home Parks. They are confused about the issues and only know to complain to the park managers.

(2) There are many people that complain and never follow through. They think that they can’t write a proper letter of complaint. But listen to this you do not need to write a proper letter all you have to say in your letter of complaint is this:

(a) Stop raising my rent. I can’t afford it!

(b) Give my Mobile Home Park the option to buy our own park first!

All Mobile Home owners are capable of writing these two lines and if you can’t, find somebody who can.

(3) Most people do not know who their State Legislatures are or who are the people in charge.

(a) If you receive the Compact Chronicle monthly call them. They are our representatives. We must all stick together.

Maybe, the Compact Chronicle can post these representatives so we can all utilize this valuable information.

Also, another way to keep informed of this valuable information is through your Home Owner’s Association. They should have all the information you need to contact your State Legislatures.

With this information, I suggest, if you have any opinions at all about the future of your Mobile Home Park, Write, fax, email or call your State Legislature representatives.

STATE LEGISLATURE:

Because you do not hear from us the Mobile Home Owners in Bulk please do not think we are not there in force. Please see the four items listed below:

(1) We want to be informed when the park is to be sold first.

(2) We want to be able to make an offer.

(3) We want to know that our homes are protected and we won’t take food out of our mouths to pay the rent.

(4) A sealing/freeze on rent increases.

This is all in your hands now State Legislature. Please do not forget the thousands of people who vote for you.

(a) Please Freeze/Seal the rent so we can feel safe in our own homes.

(b) Give us the first option to purchase our own park before a third party is involved.

I am mailing a copy of this article and my other article to my state legislatures.

Please feel free to check out my other article.

Mobile Home Owner - Outraged

I hope after writing these two articles on Mobile Home Problems, you will stand behind me if my rent gets raised.
