my poor mom she fell today and broke her left upper arm. She may need surgery the doctor is not sure yet. My mom fell a couple of years or so ago and broke her right shoulder (well shattered it and broke the upper bone almost clean through the skin) She was on the floor for about five or six hours because she could not get up. THank God I listened to the voice inside that was telling me something was not right and I went over to check on her. I told her that I was going to move in there with her so that would not happen again.

My mom is only 68 years old and is in such poor health. I feel bad she has been through and survived so much stuff and now that she is older she is sickly. I love my mom so much she is the greatest mom in the world. (of course i am just little biased about that)

Anyway, I will not be on for awhile to be updating my blog. I hope you stop by and leave comments and i ask especially that you read the post on Dog the Bounty Hunter and the post on domestic violence. I personally think that those two postings are the best ( but i guess i am biased lol) Take care I wish you all well. I will be back and bringing some controversial subjects with me. Best wishes InkyTigress

Okay well there is an update: My mom is doing fine she had some X-rays the other day and they say her arm is doing really well( probably because i have been helping her keep blood sugar under control)We have been here taking care of her for almost two weeks and got about five more to go. I hope we all survive it!!!! I love my mom and i am glad i am taking care of her but let me tell you it is not easy. also i just want to add if i have not said this before if you have an older person or are an older person think about getting a lifeline. We just sent for one and i am sure glad we did. i have been afraid to leave my mom alone for fear she might fall down again. so, i big thumbs up for me for taking care of my mom(yes i know attention seeker that i am)

Two nights ago I finally got to see the Vagina Monologues (on HBO) If you have not seen it I highly recommend it.Eve Ensler started the show 1996 to promote love towards women and to stop domestic violence. There are several different monologues she does and they are the stories of women she has met; of course they all relate to a woman's vagina. There has been some controversy of some of the material in the show. I personally think that Eve Ensler is a genious coming up this idea. Women have been so oppressed for so long( we were taught that sex is dirty, good girls don't talk or think about sex, don't show any of you body that is bad. I really feel that society has taught women to feel bad about themselves.

After, watching the show I got online to look up statistc,s on violence and was alarmed at the numbers i was finding. side note( I am not puting men down and i am not denying that there is violence against men here. NO violence is okay not men beating women or women beating men.) Anyway got the numbers from MotherJOnes Journalism site and here are some of stats.73 percentage fo domestic violence victims that are female: 73% percentage of domestic violence incidents that go unreported:37% percntage of women treated in the ER for violent injuries who were hurt by a currrent or former partner: 12 hundred number of women killed by an inimate partner each year: 83% percentage of spouse murders who are male:58% percentage of family murder victims that are female: 44% percentage of women murdered by an intimate partner who visited the ER two years prior to their death: 37% percentage of women treated for domestice violence( this must be talking about counseling and shelters): 12 the factor by which children of an abused parent are more likly to be abused themselves: 30% percentage by which being abused as a child increases the chance of being arrested for violent acts as an adult:61% percentage of incidents that go unreported because the victims think the police won't believe them:31% female homicide victims in the US slain by their husband or partner: 11% all murder victims killed by their intimate partner: 8.8 million number of children who witness domestic violence each year.
We need to do something!!!!! We need to be teaching our children about abuse, how to communicate, how to treat themselves and how to treat others, give your children a good self image, as an adult have a good self image love your selves.If you are a violent person get help if you are being abused get help if your children have witnessed violence get them help! There is NO EXCUSE FOR VIOLENCE ON ANYONE!!!! and remember kindness starts at home it starts with you. I know that i am taking that way of living kindness does start with me. I am a survivor of domestic violence i was a victim now i am a survivor.
I also want to say that domestic violence is not just physical it is mental , emotional , and sexual abuse.

I went to these sites to get some of my information
Vagina Monologues wikipedia
statistics on violence MotherJOnes Journalism
you can google domestic violence and get all kinds of sites

and if you are a woman definitely watch the Vagina Monologues by yourself or with your partner.

most of all be safe everyone help stop abuse
