Traveling Without Moving

Post Title Hook Today is actually the Name of a Song by Jamiroquai, an English Funk and Acid Jazz Band, that comes on my Spa Music Station in the Truck and the Name of the Song just Amuses me, so I wanted an excuse to use it.  *Winks*   Many of the Spa Music Station's Song Names are Amusing in fact, we are easily Amused.  *LOL and Winks*  After waiting in all Morning for the Home Visit Mechanic to show up to look at The Son's Car, turns out it's scheduled for Tomorrow when The Son will be at Work!  *Le Sigh*  Yep, that means I'll be handling it, getting the Quote etcetera and passing info along, ah, well... que sera sera.  I just Hope it's repairable and not expensively so, but affordably so.  Mebbe the Company even offers Financing for Repairs?   Anyway, I'm tired of rolling out at 3:00 a.m. to get him to Work otherwise, tho' except for Monday, the rest of the Week is Vacation Time he's taking.  I think he's more than ready for some Vacay time to decompress and get back to Center, hopefully.

So, this Morning has been Calm and that's good, but, half the people aren't here, so, it's less personality to referee too.  Princess T left with Rusty but has to be back by Tonight since she has a Dental Appointment early Monday Morning, on her other Day Off.  She's trying to get everything squared away in case she loses Medicaid.   Both Adult Kids and both of The G-Kid Force are considered Title 19 Permanently Disabled and Qualify, especially if they can't Work or are Low Income and cannot afford or Qualify to be Insured.  When you have Chronic expensive Conditions a lot of Insurances have Lifetime Caps.  They used to have Pre-Existing Condition Clauses before Obama.

I did some Weeding in front of the Front Yard Wall, while the Shade of my big Pine Trees still covered me from the direct Sun.   We have a small strip of Garden in front of the entire Front Wall that I grow African Daisies in and is just Gravel the rest of the Year.   Well, this Year a lot of Grass seeded in there and won't fucking Die off or be Killed off, it's persistent at growing back and trying to take over.  Hard to grow Grass or keep it Alive in Arizona when you're taking TLC of it, but this unwanted Grass thrives, go figure!!!   It's coming in from Omar's Property which has Bermuda Grass, which is Drought Friendly but like a fucking Weed and a nuisance Grass Species that becomes invasive quickly.

We mostly have Dichondra {see above}, which is a low growing lush and lovely ground cover resembling a Grass and doesn't need as much cutting or maintenance overall.   And some Rye Grass, which is a nice Winter Grass and Dies back during Spring and Summer.  That's when the Dichondra takes over from the Rye.  But, of coarse some Bermuda seeded in from Neighbors properties who prefer it coz it's more hardy and you almost can't Kill it, tho' to be sure it isn't Low Maintenance at all coz it grows too fast, like any Weed does.   I swear I dig out all the Grass in front of that Wall and within a couple Weeks, it's come back coz of it's Rhizome Nature of how it spreads.  Those creeping Rootstocks are The Devil!  *LOL and Le Sigh*   The Beauty of Dichondra is it can Die Off and spring back without any problem once it has sufficient Water.

The Cool Season Rye Grass is lovely and a Nice Grass, so I really like it. No Complaints about our Rye except it won't Grow once it gets Hot and it's growth can be clumpy and spotty to fill in completely.   I'm sure it was planted by previous Owners for whatever Animals they had, I felt they might have had Horses, but, not really sure?   Perennial Grass has to be nurtured to get it looking really nice.   Under our Pines in the Front Yard only the Dichondra does well coz of Pine Needle droppings and the amount of Shade such Old Trees provide.  During Irrigation the Wild Birds have a Bird Vacation on our Property, splashing around, catching Insects.  Even the Migratory Birds drop in and we've often got at least One Mated Pair of Wild Ducks that drop in and float around.  *LOL*  Quite bucolic in the midst of a Metropolis sized City.

Day before Yesterday marked a Year since Princess T Graduated, it doesn't seem like a whole Year has flown by, but, it has!   I think I might have mentioned that one of her Special Ed Teachers called me and asked how she was doing, pleased to hear she's Working and doing Well.  They apparently call the Families of their Graduated Special Needs Students for a Year Follow-Up to see if additional Resources might be necessary?  I would think many Special Needs Kiddos struggle with finding or keeping Employment?   They really need an Employer who understands theirs will be a Special Hire of a Person with some level of Disabling Limitations.  The Granddaughter's Employer does that and Hires people with Disabilities.

I bought a couple of little Cakes from "Fry's", not known for their Bakery selection, but closest Grocer to the house and it's 115 so I didn't wanna take a road trip to a better Bakery in that heat.  I had a tiny slice of the Carrot Cake but instead of the lighter Cream Cheese Frosting they usually have on a Carrot Cake, this Bakery put regular Icing, too sickly sweet, I threw 3/4 of my little slice away, ugh!   I got some Neapolitan Ice-Cream too so we'd have 3 flavors for everyone to choose from.  One of the Cakes is Chocolate Cookies and Cream flavor, Princess T and I can't eat Chocolate and she's Lactose intolerant, so, probably won't partake of either the Cakes or the Ice-Cream whenever she gets Home from her Boyfriend's house. 

 The Son's Friend Q came over and remembered his Birthday, he's the only one and that had to be hurtful too.  People have busy lives these days and even if you were to throw a Party, so many don't show up now, so we don't bother with Hosting any anymore.   Parties get expensive too, and, tho' I Loved Entertaining when Younger, now we're more reclusive and enjoy Private Time at Home more.  Anyway, Q is always Welcome, he's one of those Guests that knows boundaries and respects them without question and he's known us all his Life, so is like a Son to us.  He leads a settled Life becoz he's Married, got a couple Kids, isn't a Middle Aged Mister Party-All-The-Time, like some Middle Aged folks can't seem to put away from their Youth.   So, he's a more Positive influence, they'll sit around, when they're not working long and hard, and just play Video Games when visiting each other.  I can handle that, no Drama, no Headaches.

People have always thought Q and The Son were Brothers or Cousins and they've been Friends since before they were Old enuf to go to School.  They did get into a lot of mischief together when they were Younger becoz both of them were Special Needs Kiddos and so not your Garden Variety Kids.   Growing up in an Older Barrio there were a lot of Gangs and troubled Youths, but they stayed out of all that, for which I'm grateful.  And, they both are good Street Fighters, so everyone left them alone who was Trouble.   Even to this day, only a Fool would think these Two couldn't handle their business if confronted and with no options but to defend themselves.   And they've always had each other's Backs all their lives and are Ride or Die for one another, like Lifelong Friends usually are.

I'm glad Q came over coz it got The Son out of his Deep Funk and Negative Head Space he's been mired deeply in and couldn't climb out of.   Q would like The Son to come back to work at the Gravel Pits and one of their other Lifelong Friends, Brandon, now is the Supervisor there and wants him back too.  But, The Son doesn't like the Work or the long grueling Hours out in the Sun, even tho' it pays well, is closer by, and, really is easier Work if you run the heavy Equipment, which, he knows how to do.   Some of the heaviest Equipment even has A/C which is beneficial, but The Son gets easily bored and driving Heavy Equipment is profitable but is rather Mind Numbing.   When someone has Adult ADHD the Mind Numbing Work is the Worst, coz you get restless physically and mentally if it doesn't engage you and challenge you constantly.  I do Get It, I can't do Mind Numbing Work either, if a Job is too easy for me, I Space Out and HATE it no matter how much they Pay me.

I'm glad he's enjoying his Birthday, it really would have been a Downer otherwise, he didn't expect anything elaborate, just Basic and nothing Extra.  I can do that.  *LOL*   Even in spite of the considerable Challenges of the rest of everything else that went on with him having a Mental Health Meltdown numerous times over the Week.   It will be an ongoing Challenge, it's not like there is a Cure for Serious Mental Illness or Autism, there is not, it's a tough row to hoe and shitty Hand Dealt anyone.  And Society at large does not want to be part of any Solutions, they'd rather Warehouse away anyone whose afflicted.   This is Why I got concerned when this Regime was suggesting perhaps Lists should be made... that's some heinous Nazi shit right there if you ask me!!!  Targeting any Demographic in a Sinister way is how Atrocities happened thruout History.

The Kids are watching the main TV and The Man has his Reruns on our TV in our Room, so, I haven't had the TV on myself all day.   Since we're not renewing NetFlix I want to watch everything I can while we still have it, it's just not been worth it with the selections they've had lately.  I've watched everything I wanted to see and what's dropping as New hasn't interested me, with just a few exceptions.   I don't watch a lot of TV anyway, I'd rather listen to Music on the Streaming Channels now.  Being able to do that is difficult when everyone is sharing TV Screen time tho'... and they watch a lot of TV.   The Man is Obsessed with his Shows and watching TV, he can do it endlessly, I don't have the focus or attention span to really.   And so I Blog.  *Winks*  Hey, still Cheaper than Therapy my Friends.  *LOL*

The Young Prince broke his Phone so cannot make or receive Calls, just do PM's to my Social Media Page now.   He's on our Plan, so once he can return to Arizona we'll replace it, but for now, I do Worry about him having limited ability to contact all of us that are his Support System during a very difficult time.   Allen is still being difficult to live with, but, they mostly just try to stay out of each other's way and don't talk or interact now.   That's no way to live life or exist within Matrimony, but, it's ending and so our Grandson has accepted that the Horse is now Dead, so, he's getting off.   I dropped Allen from Social Media contact since I have an Invitation Only Page that blocks anyone not Invited to have contact.  I just didn't want contact anymore with he or his Family, no need to once their Relationship has Ended, and, I wasn't getting into the fray.   My adage is, once our Grandson is safely back Home here, to Allen, just, Be Well and Be Gone.

A lot of Bloggers are Sharing about their Gardening and I miss Gardening, but, haven't done much while living here.  Which is Odd becoz we intentionally bought a Mini Farm so we could plant more Gardens and grow our own Food and such.   I really like Gardening and at the Historic Acreage always had a little Victory Garden that produced abundantly.  The Property we owned before that one had Mature Citrus Trees that also produced a bounty.   The Villa McManse was different, nothing much could or would grow there in the way of Food Crops or Flowering Plants, so I strayed away from Gardening and never quite resumed.   Here, I have potted Veggies and Herbs that I've Harvested from quite successfully, and Sunflowers, but, I could do ever so much more than I am.   And I don't even know why I don't actually, I Love to Garden and have my Hands in the dirt.   I guess I've been too distracted and of coarse a Garden does take nurturing and time to Care for the Living things in it.

My Motivation to take on keeping anything Living Alive has waned as I've grown Older.   I take the responsibility of it too seriously to fail, you know?   I don't want Living things Dying on my Watch, it makes me feel bad about it, even if it's a Plant.   But the Routine and Joy of Gardening is something that I think would be beneficial to resume.   So, I've begun a scant bit of it and am now growing some of my Beloved Queen's Wreath Vine from Seeds off the Mother Vine along the Fencing I planted a couple Years ago.  The Seedlings are doing well and there's a trio of them in a Pot on the Front Porch.   The Mother Plant Dies off every Year then springs back, not quite established enuf yet to remain healthy Year Round like very Old Vines of it do.   I'm gonna try now to grow some Moscato Grapevines from Seed of the Raisins I Dried Out of some spent Grapes of it we didn't eat in time.   I've got a Green Spring Onion I'm growing on my Kitchen Windowsill, it's doing well too. 

  

My Parents did Love to grow things and always had Gardens.  When they moved to Arizona they planted Grapevines and they grew so Lush they had a covered Archway Path of them, it was Magnificent.  I've been really missing my Parents, even tho' both of them have been gone now a long, long time ago.   There is still this Void of the times spent together that never has been filled by any other Relationships.   I've always been happier spending Time with Family than with Non-Family.   Anyway, for some reason both of my Parents have been on my Heart and Mind a lot lately... and as I mentioned in a previous Post, my Beloved Grandma Piazza came to me in a very Realistic Dream, which was very Odd.  I'm still ruminating over what that meant, as Dreams go?   Especially since she's never "visited" with me like that before, ever.   She passed in 2004 at the Age of 89.  She was One of 9 Children, 4 Brothers and 4 Sisters.  She only had One Daughter and was not Biologically connected to me, but my "Adopted" Grandma since I was 5 Years Old.

I remember she had very long Hair that she always wore in a very Graceful huge Bun.   Her Daughter and Grandchildren were Neighbors of ours when we lived in Falmouth, Massachusetts and my Dad was Stationed at Otis, AFB there.   Her Granddaughter Karen and I became Friends and it was Karen who notified me that her Grandma had Passed.   Her Grandma had kept in touch with me faithfully and I knew something was Wrong when the Letters and Cards ceased, so, I'm glad the Family gave me some closure, knowing how Close she and I had always been.  There was just a Bond there that I cannot explain, we became like "Family" by Choice, not Birth.   I recently found her Grandson Joe on The Book of Faces and was able to get some more Pixs of Grandma Piazza, one with her Daughter {Below}, who was my Mom's Friend when they were Young Adults with Small Children.

I spent a lot of Today Napping, it was just so Hot Outside that I wasn't venturing out there tho' I suppose I could have jumped in the Pool and spent time Poolside, I just didn't.  I have some new Swimwear too, since, Skinny Dipping is now frowned upon after I Scared Off the Young Pool Guy.  *Bwahahahaha*   It's just that Swimwear for bigger Older Women is so freakin' hideous, isn't it?  I'd rather be Nude.  *LOL*  But, I got some Swimwear separates and they'll do.   Plus, I might just use the Pool at the Gym sometime too and so Swimwear is required.  *Winks*  I haven't been to the Gym in a while, still logistically challenging with my Schedule and their Restricted Hours for Seniors whose Membership is covered by our Medicare Advantage Plans.   I'd prefer going earlier, or even later, not an Option tho' since 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. is all we are allowed, dammit!  Those are busier crowded Hours and you have to wait to use everything... and, not convenient for my Schedule at all.

 

The Daughter has been spending more Time with Mando and where ever he resides, which works out better, and causes less Drama and Headaches here with the rest of the Family.   She's very Sociable and they're all not, she has a lot of Friends, they're more content being reclusive and not having people over or around all the time.  So, it has caused conflicts.   And everyone in the Family comes to me with their Complaints and I've got to then be The Mediator and The Moderator of all things causing conflicts or irritations around Forever Boheme'.   Smoothing things over with everyone takes Finesse and sometimes I even succeed so that there won't be Trouble In Paradise.  *Huge Eye Roll*  Princess T came back Home and was glad her Uncle had made all of them Pizza for his Birthday Dinner.  I couldn't partake due to my Dietary Carb Restrictions, but everyone said it was a very good Homemade Pizza.  It smelled Sublime... dammit!  *LOL*

The Daughter has stayed away intentionally but Texted me, she just doesn't want to ruin her Brother's Birthday, since they've just not been able to get along at all lately.   And she feels some kind of way about it and I can see her side, and I can see his side, and I can see fault on both sides, but, being the Mediator/Moderator I am not taking sides.  They're both my Kiddos and personally I can see why each has Complaints about the other, legitimate ones.   I Share some of those same irritations of certain things I don't like either, that each of them consistently does and is problematic and not Okay.  But, of coarse when anyone is Complaining they seem to be unable to see the other side's perspective, or Own their part in it.  I've just always been able to have a wider view when it comes to disagreements and Issues that need Resolution, without Needing to play the Blame Game or feel like The Victim and be defensive either.  And, getting into each other's business always causes conflict.

Unfortunately, due to The Son having to go in to Work Tomorrow and have to drive him all the way in coz his Boss has the Day Off, he's also got that Home Visit Mechanic, Antonio, coming at between 8:00-10:00 a.m. and Princess T has her Dental Appointment at 10:30 a.m.!   So, I've got to leave The Man in charge of handling that should I not be able to be here for the Mechanic checking out the Car, giving Estimates and such.  And, if The Daughter doesn't come Home, leave The Man Unsupervised to be responsible for that and be by himself until we can return!!!   I'm writing down what needs to be said, done, etcetera so we can get an Estimate in Writing and pass information along to The Son successfully since he's already pre-paid the $150 Diagnostic Fee and Home Visit.   A cancellation would not be refunded and cost him a cancellation fee on top of it.

The Man's Memory Care Issues being what they are, I just hope ole' Antonio shows up closer to 8:00 a.m. than 10:00 a.m. so that I'd be here for the whole Diagnostic and Results.  We really need to get this Right and I am better at Negotiating these things and seeing if they have adequate Financing available if in fact it's doable, but not Cash affordable?   The Man won't make decisions like that, nor should he in his impaired condition.   It's a Tall Order to be able to get him to accurately take a Message and pass it along, he forgets so much and gets too confused.   So, I am worried that will happen and would prefer The Daughter be here coz she also knows a lot about Cars.  So, I've got to Message her and ask if she can ensure she be here, just in case?   To also cover Caregiving for her Dad as well as coverage for the Mechanic's visit and Diagnostics.

The Daughter told me she can be here for the Mechanic, so, that's a Relief.  She'd worked all day to be able to afford her Brother a nice Birthday Pressy, the Boyfriend chipped in coz it's something The Son needed, Jacks for his Vehicle, and had been borrowing from Rob.  Well, Mando told The Daughter to just say it's from her, since, The Son is still Sour about both of them and reconciling somewhat with his Sister is more important than with the Boyfriend.  He doesn't really mind if The Son and him never get along, it would be preferable, but, he feels it's Okay if they just be civil and cordial, if at all possible?  I agree, that's best, tho' not entirely possible given the dynamics of things such that they just are.   Mando set himself up not to be well Liked by Family or some of her closer Friends who are very protective of her.  But, her Brother can be a Jerk and is not good with Peopling Skills, so it's not all on Mando either.

Anyway, since The Son doesn't do the Yardwork or Irrigation for me and The Daughter and her Friends have been, I don't want him running interference and presuming to tell them how to do it.   Not his business, so stay out of it, I arrange what I arrange with whoever I wanna arrange it with.   The problem sometimes when you get Older is that your Adult Kiddos start presuming you can't manage your business and butt in, thinking they're being helpful or taking over.   But, sometimes they're interfering with what you've already arranged and can handle delegating to whoever you've hired or is volunteering.   Staying in their own Lane is delicate coz some day they may have to assist and I don't want to seem resentful for what they do on our behalf to Help, but it can become a pissing contest with the Siblings sometimes.   I'm doing more for Mom and Dad, NO, I am!!!   And so on and so forth... huge Eye Roll with the Sibling Rivalry bullshit and whose adding the most Value.  *Le Sigh*

Hey, remember these Big Eye Animal Prints of the early 1970's?  I had several of them back then on my Walls, I always was fond of them.   There were several different Cats and Dogs, the Artist was prolific.  I think I had all Three of these Prints actually and hadn't seen any for Years until I went to the Eastside Antique Mall and a Vendor had them for $18 each.  Very Nostalgic to see them again, tho' I wasn't Tempted to Buy Back my Past Wall Art, if I ever found some in a Chazza on The Cheap, I'd definitely Buy them.  *LOL*  There aren't a lot of things of the Past that I'd Buy Back actually, you Move On and your Tastes change.  But, some things abide and for some reason these Prints were something I still have a Sentiment about, tho' I haven't owned them since probably the early 1980's.   The Decade of their Popularity passed and I don't even recall what happened to mine? 

At Auction they actually command quite a hefty price even unframed, so this Vendor actually had them at a very reasonable price point.   The Frames look to be Era appropriate and could have been the originals these were always in?   I always called them the "Pity Prints" coz it evoked compassion for Stray Animals like Alley Cats and Abandoned Puppies.   Every Feline I've ever had Adopted us and had been either a Stray, Alley Cat or a Feral Cat that decided we were gonna be their Family and Staff.  *Smiles*   Yes, I'm an Easy Mark and Soft Touch like that and they seem to Sense it, Read me like a Book, and take Advantage of me.  *Bwahaha*   So many of them weren't even considered "Pet Quality" and no Shelter would have ever taken them in and tried to Adopt them out.   People expect a lot of reciprocity from their Pets, I do not.   Tho' it is Nice if they reciprocate kindly towards you too and pretend to show some appreciation, or are genuine about it.  *Smiles*

I think I prefer Cats becoz they are Independent tho', and don't REALLY Need you and aren't therefore as Needy acting.   In fact, if a Cat doesn't like you, it won't stick around and will go Adopt a Person or Family it prefers.  *LOL*   Dogs are much more Loyal and Forgiving about having a shitty Person or Family they belong to, even if they could do better, they won't choose to.   So, in many ways they're very similar to most Humans like that, whereas Cats definitely aren't and so a lot of Humans resent that in a Cat.   Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff, it's just that Simple a Relationship for each.  *Ha ha ha*   Eli definitely isn't "Pet Quality" and only really Loves his Human, even tho' I'm his most Loyal Staff, she's his Person.  I'm tolerable to him coz I am the Kibbles provider and Litterbox cleaner, so I'm like "The Help" to him.  I'm necessary, but he doesn't feel the Need to have to be in a Relationship with me. *LOL*

 

I do Spoil Ole' Eli tho', I cannot help myself when I'm responsible for any Living Thing's Care, even if I'm not their "Favorite".   *LOL*   He's funny in that he will pretend to bond with me each Morning to get his ration of Wet Food and Litterbox cleaned and smelling good... have his Dry Kibbles and Snack Kibbles refreshed in the self-dispenser it's in, then he'll be like, Now Go Away... You're Dismissed.  *Bwahahahaha*  He can have the most Arrogant and Irritated look on his Face the moment your usefulness is finished for the Day.  *LMAO*   But he is fiercely Devoted to Princess T, she's mos def his Human and he Adores her even tho' she's very Strict with him and they often go Rounds.   "No Eli!", "Stop it Eli!", "Look what you've done now, Eli!", I'll often hear emanating from her Room as he's clearly done something Wrong or to Irritate her and she's Wailing.  *Bwahahaha*  I think he Delights in winding her Ass up on Purpose?   And he will Piss on her stuff when he's Mad at her.  Take that Bitch!!!  *Winks*

Yes, he's a Rascal and he has an Attitude, but, we Love him anyway.  *LOL*   He can be an Asshole like most of us in this Familia, so, Why Judge him, Right?    After all, he has to hold his own around here at The Asylum.   And, pretty sure he Senses Crazy by now???  *Bwahahahaa*  He does NOT like The Daughter at all, even tho' she tries to be Friends with him, and really tries hard, he's not having it and acts like she's Crazy all the time, even tho' she's a Devoted Animal Lover.   It really hurts her Feelings that he seems to Hate her, he can't even stand her Voice!!!   Get away from me Crazy Human!!!  *LMAO*   You can tell by his expression he is not a Cat to be trifled with, and he's Huge, the size of a Small Dog, with probably being part Maine Coon Cat and very likely the Offspring of a Feral Cat.  We have no idea where Anthony's Family got him?   But, Anthony's Aunt was allergic so he pawned him off on us... Princess T's Beloved Old Cat, Miss Priss, had Died the Year before, and she's always had a Cat.  

I just watched a real good "Feel Good" Movie called "The Intern" {2015} starring Robert DeNiro, Anne Hathaway & Rene Russo.   It's an older Movie but I'd never seen it before and really found it Touching, Funny and Relatable.   He plays a 70 Year Old Widower and Retiree who goes back to Work as a Senior Intern becoz he's bored with Retirement and wants to feel useful again.   It really was an excellent Movie, tho' I felt embarrassed not to recognize Rene Russo and mistook her for being Priscilla Presley!   Ooops.   Even tho' I recognized her as being in other favs like "Get Shorty" {1995} with John Travolta... and the "Lethal Weapon 3" {1992} with Mel Gibson... so, don't know why I couldn't remember the Actresses Name and got her mixed up with Presley?  Russo has Aged more Gracefully and not had Bad Work done like Presley.  But, they used to look alike to me.

Pet Peeve of mine to see Beautiful Women and Handsome Men wreck themselves with Plastic Surgery to attempt to look Younger and end up looking way worse than Aging Naturally and Gracefully.   Micky Rourke did it too and totally disfigured himself in the process, so did Priscilla Presley, among others in Hollywood.   Well, not just in Hollywood, I've seen a lot of Bad Work done outside of Hollywood too and it's tragic.  Even Young People wrecking themselves with absurd Plastic Surgery like the Fish Lips and the ridiculous looking Ass Implants.   Not flattering and makes them look like Freaks of Nature, not more attractive, that's for sure.   And to pay that much Money to be Hacked and permanently disfigured is beyond tragic.  Nobody deserves that even if Vanity or Fear of Aging or Insecurities about their Natural Appearance is their reasons for going under the Knife and assuming the risks.

 I used to watch the Reality Show called "Botched" where Two Reconstructive Plastic Surgeons {Dr. Terry Dubrow whose deceased Brother was the Lead Singer in Rock Band Quiet Riot and Overdosed... and Dr. Paul Nassif} would be tasked with Fixing other Plastic Surgical Mistakes mostly, that had been botched.  Or Clients with terrible deformities or had been Accident Victims badly disfigured, and required exceptional Surgeons to do the harder Cases.  I was always amazed at the results the Clients had, quite transformational and life changing in a good way.  It also gave you an inside look at how many Surgeries go Wrong and then have to be Fixed by someone more ethical and more skilled.  There's a lot of Hacks out there disfiguring people and doing Surgeries they should decline for various reasons.  Especially if the Client is going too far and clearly now has an Addiction to Procedures and might be Mentally Unstable about assuming Bad Risks to get Work done that isn't Sane or Safe.

Stay Cool my Friends... Dawn... The Bohemian
