I want to live in the SOLUTION, the world has a PROBLEM.

Hello Bloggers who fall into this BLOG, don't know if anyone even see's it, but today I need to talk about my sensitivities. I think they may be allergies but the DRs say no just sensitivities. I have many time talked about this very same thing and only wish I didn't feel the need to keep blogging about it. But when it makes me sick daily I need to vent it away. Body washes, Shampoos, cream rinses, lotion, face creams, perfume, deodorant, these are just some of the ones we put on our body, THEN there are the ones we ingest through our lungs, cleaning products, room deodorizers, candles, plug ins, scented sprays canned scented sprays. Laundry soaps fabric softeners, dryer sheets, fabreeze, EVERYTHING that is scented. Where does cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,and Many others, Many others. . My thinking is it comes from all the poisonous chemicals that we put into our bodies. Day after day of the use of these chemicals put into our body unknowingly, thinking we are just cleaning our bodies, hair, and making ourselves smell nice. I went to a hair dresser last Wednesday (Feb, 11, 2013) to get my hair cut. She used a shampoo on my that actually poisoned me for 4 days. I felt like I had my hair washed in pesticides. My scalp actually felt poisoned. It soaked into my head and brain and cause me to be physically sick and with a headache that lasted 3 days. When these things happen to me it is so physically disabling that I want to be gone, Gone sometimes means I think of suicide, knowing today that is not an option. (when I was a practicing alcoholic I found this a viable option). I went with a friend on Saturday the 16th to Lake Havasu, to a group of women who get together to have a Spiritual meeting. In the group there were five other women and all of them had something on that had a scent. I have read that every person when they get up and start with a shower that they put on ten different scents, I know for a fact that happens and people don't even realize that they are poisoning themselves and ever body else around them. My lungs burned from something that was in the room. BUT here it is SUNDAY and I still have the smell of one of the womens perfume in my lungs and sinus' I can't get the smell out of my body. So I am blogging about it today hoping that someone will read this and take NOTICE of it and think maybe they could be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Try to clean thier houses and bodies of all these chemical solutions. Inside outside everywhere you go. Today I put on a pair of shoes I bought on EBAY two weeks ago. When I received them they had been sprayed with FABREEZE, I think but definitely sprayed with something, and wow it was stron, so I put them in a solution of my laundry soap and soaked them for a while. and put them in the sun to dry for days, now I mean days like 10 or more. I put them on this morning and imidiatly had to take them off within five minutes I could taste the fabreeze and got a headache. UGH I hate this. But well I put them on facebook for sale, but am soaking them again and hoping that it will go away. FABREEZE is horrible.

Orin George Dexter, My HERO my FATHER

I am the oldest daughter of and proud to be of Orin George Dexter, my father was a proud man and he lived till 86 years and raised me my two sisiter and 4 other siblings.

My father taught me to love my country, respect my country and to honor it and be a proud American, there is never a time that the flag is raised that I am not overwhelmed with the gratitude for what America stands for. What my father and his brothers fought for, what so many men died for and are still dieing for.

Our veterans are the very back bone of this country. If they had not fought and millions died and are still fighting and dieing, we would not have the freedoms we have, we owe them our honor, we owe them our respect, we owe them to stand up when our flag is waving, and not let our country be beaten down. Stand up for whats right, stand up and speak your truth our countries truth. Do not be ashamed to be an American.

He was born to a poor mother and father, Vernon Orin Dexter who married Hannah Rose Degraw, in 1917, in Nebraska, they had 10 children. Line up, Orin, Wanda, Jimmy, Martha, Vale, Verna, Eugene, Lougena and Andrew. One baby girl died at birth.

He was born in Bridgeport, Nebraska, their first year of marriage, October 26, 1918, his father never worked much it was poor times and they moved from Nebraska while he was young, they trekked across the states from Nebraska to Wyoming to Colorado, and landed in King Hill, Idaho, for a period of time. They finally stopped in Oregon.

When Orin was 14 years old he had to leave home and go to work in the coal mines in Teluride, Colorado, and send his pay home to help raise the siblings that were younger than him. He went to work in the CC Camps for a while and then enlisted into the Army. He inlisted for 2 years and served 5, in WWII, he had four brothers who also all served in the service. At one time his parents had three of their sons fighting in in the war.

When he was honorably discharged from WW2 he came home and partied and met a woman who introduced him to her sister whom he married, Helen Maxine Buell (Taylor) Dexter, my Mother. Mom had 4 children when she married my dad, Maxine, Jackie, Chuck and Larry Taylor.

He had trouble finding a job so after marrying Helen, he went back to the small town of King Hill, idaho where his family had stopped and where he and his brothers had joined the war movement.

I was born in King Hill, I was very impetuous even at birth and had no patience, so mom didn't even have a chance to get to the hospital. My Nana help mom and I was born at home.

I had two sisters behind me Derryll And our baby sister Orina. (I will bolg later about them and my older siblings.)

My father owned his small service station business in King Hill, Idaho and we lived there until I was 11 years old. He did a very succesful business until the freeway was put in and diverted the traffic f miles to the north of King Hill, the town fell into obscurity, and is not a functioning town now. Glenns Ferry, Idaho is five miles west, and is the closest town to them now.

I never heard my father complain, he went to work all his life and everyday of his life, I remember not one day that he stayed home sick.

He worked hard at raising his 3 children and the 4 children of the woman he married to give them all the things that he had never had and had no opprotunity to have. I never remember being hungry, starving like I remember him telling us that he had days when eating was only a slice of bread.

I took these things for granted and I don't ever remember telling him how thankful that I neveer went hungry, I never went without cloths, new ones even, shoes, or all the toys and things that I wanted. I feel humbled looking back at the difference between his life and mine and how I took it for granted and never thought much about it.

I find that my life has been a life of selfishness. Totally absorbed in me. and what I want and I look around and see that I have not been the only one and that the next generation is even more selfish and demanding and with a me first attitude.

But I also have learned that I don;t want to stay that way so I am making the changes to my life that will make me a better huam being, one that can live today with out regret and shame for who I am. I thank my father for all the things he taught me.
