Now I know why old people are so grumpy. I feel horrible.  



          I got my hair cut. That's the most excitement that I've had in days.

    1. DO YOU NEED A GOOD SPELL CASTER TO BRING BACK YOUR LOST LOVE EMAIL: LOVESPELLDOCTOR0@GMAIL.COM FOR HELP I have been in relationship with my boyfriend for 2 year now and we were planning to get married soon and all of a sudden he left me for another girl, i really love this guy and never can imagine my life without him. I further tried all my best to get him back but all my effort to get him back in my life did not work out. It was on this faithful day, i came across some comments on a website about this great spell caster called Dr love so many persons claimed that he help them to renew their relationship and bring their ex back, i had to contact him because he was my last hope. I contacted him through his email and he assured me that in two days time my boyfriend is going to leave the other girl and come back to me and it was a very great surprise to see my boyfriend coming back to me after two days. I am so very happy today that he came back to me and i achieved this with the help of Dr love and i advice if you need his help too email him direct at (lovespelldoctor0@gmail com)

  2. That may be true, but most old people also share the happiness that they receive. And that is something that you do all the time. It was a happy moment yesterday to see you at church. Love you lots.

  14. You are an inspiration to all ... in each day, find something small that warms your heart, talk to a friend, think of something beautiful you saw in the past and let yourself drift there in your mind. You have had a life full of adventures, stresses and challenges. You can do hard things, you are doing hard things, but allow yourself to endulge in the easy thing, the soft fur on a cat, or have a friend come over and read you one of your favorite books, close your eyes and enjoy the sound of his/her voice. When I have a particular miserable day, nothing like what you are enduring, my husband will read me New York Time articles as my eyes are closed, I find it sooo relaxing and peaceful. Seriously girl, you are doing amazing ... keep it up. PS - your haircut is so lovely.

We are praying for you and want you to know that you have so many people around you who care and love and support you. Praying!!! XXXOOO

  16. Rachel, I am so sorry your feel horrible. Cheerfulness is overrated and sometimes a dose of grumpy is just what the doctor ordered. You (and your new haircut) are beautiful.

  17. I run track, too! The good thing about running is that even when you take a long break from the sport, you can always start up again. Perseverance is a skill that every cross country athlete Acquires. You are clearly applying it to your life. Keep it up! ��

  32. Hi Rachel! I love how real your blog is! It is an inspiration to so many! Last week I was in the jungle in Brazil and I ate a firefly larva! It tasted like coconut since it lives in one. That was VERY exciting! Maybe I could arrange to get you one! Hahah...just trying to entertain you! We used to live next to Crowders when you were born. I remember how excited your mom was and she was like, "What can be better than getting two babies from one pregnancy!?" And she'd tell me how she could feed two babies in the same time you can feed one. I was pregnant with my own daughter and pretty much thought she was amazing, because I one baby at a time was difficult enough for me. I still think she is amazing and I think you are amazing as well! Have a wonderful day! I know you look for the good in all situations..a good way to be!

  34. Rachel,
    Please read this. I sent Cooper some more information about different compounds that have been found to kill human brain cancer cells in preclinical studies. I asked him to forward them to you and your mom and he said that he would. If you haven't read them or shown them to your health practitioner, PLEASE do so ASAP! I truly believe that the info. they contain may help to save your life!
    They are about a fruit called "mangosteen" which has numerous compounds, found in higher concentrations in its rind, that have been found to kill numerous types of caner in preclinical studies. Those studies have been going on for years, but as of mid-2014 The American Cancer Societies website stated that no studies had been performed in humans for the treatment of cancer and that it should continue to be studied.
    One of the links was to a study which showed that the compound a-mangostin from the fruit was able to kill human glioblastoma cells in a lab test and that had been transplanted into mice. Another link was to a study of a model human digestive system which showed that a-mangostin was able to absorb into the bloodstream and that it was able to pass through endothelial cells (EC's). They are an overall type of cell. A certain type of EC is what helps to make up the Blood Brain Barrier, which as you probably know is one of the main obstacles to getting treatments to DIPG tumors.
    I know a woman on Facebook named Annette 'Nardelli' McKeon. She had a daughter named Aimee who had DIPG. When Aimee was first diagnosed, at least two Dr.'s said that she already shouldn't be alive. As for standard cancer treatments Aimee only received the initial rounds of radiation. She then treated her tumor simply by eating healthy and juicing. Around five months later after learning that her tumor had progressed, her mom learned about mangosteen juice from a comment that someone had made to one of her posts. Annette (the mother) then gave Aimee around 2 oz. of the juice in the morning and evening (it's a little expensive). Aimee's health stabilized to the point that she was able to exit hospice care and return to school. She lived for 9 more months and passed away after she had stopped taking the mangosteen juice because she told her mom not to make an order of it after she learned that her mom didn't really have enough money for it.
    I believe that since Aimee was only taking such a small amount of the juice that it was basically holding her tumor at bay. A-mangostin killed the human glioblastoma cells by inducing autophagy. That is when a cell's digestive system is destroyed and the cell is at least partially digested by its own digestive enzymes. Enough juice would have to be taken long enough to kill all of the tumor cells, if that was what was helping Aimee live so much longer.
    Like I said before, I believe that this information may help to save your life. Please look into it and talk with your family and HP about it ASAP. There are many companies that sell mangosteen juice but it must contain the rind which has higher concentrations of the cancer fighting compounds. Juices like that are sometimes labeled as "Whole Fruit' mangosteen juice. I recommend the Mnagosteen 100 juice sold by Genesis Today. It's organic. I also recommend that you mix it 1:1 with orange juice for a better taste and for other possible health benefits. It was also shown to be absorbed better with a diet that contained fat. So making smoothies with it that contain things such as avocados and at least 2% milk might be good.
    Please let me know what you think. You could send Annette a friend request on Facebook too if you want to learn more about her and her daughter's experience. She is very nice.
    Thank you and may God truly bless you and your family! -Chris

  35. Rachel,
    Grumpy is OK. When I get to grumpy with my nerve pains I retreat to my bedroom where I can lay on my bed under the fan which helps cool me off from all the sweating and heat exertion of my body. And with my five grand children staying here of Beth's family, well the second to the youngest, Little Jerry, (almost 3) commented to me on Sunday when I came out of my bedroom after two hours of hiding. We were just getting ready to eat and everyone but I was at the table, he could not help himself and said something to the effect of, "Grandpa grumpy is coming to the table to eat. Grandpa grumpy are you grumpy right now? Are you too grumpy to eat Grandpa grumpy? It became a humorous moment in our home and has continued to be a nomenclature that I will live forever in the little boy's mind. But I realized the these little ones are very sensitive to when someone may be ailing or just need some comfort. Love you so much for your outgoing personality to share so much of you life with us all.
