Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  I will never understand why the States are completely complicit with the terrorist activity of Israel! Willingly joining them in committing war crime after war crime! Why would such a once great nation do anything that Israel asks? Including starting and fighting a war for them in Iran so the terrorist IDF Forces could watch from afar as 13 U.S. soldiers and 160 Iranian school children lose their lives. A war that for the first few months even Trump had no idea why he started! When Trump finally decided it was a war he bounced from one senseless reason to another until recently when he decided it was to stop Iran from building an invisible nuclear weapon. (They must have been invisible because only he and Commandant Hegseth could see them. ) We all know well that there is nothing as bad as an invisible nuclear warhead except invisible wars. Speaking of which … Trump saw what invisible nuclear warheads could do when he stopped those seven invisible wars that only he could see. ...

I refuse to allow nor accept the fact that at present my legs are becoming useless. I still walk my girls at least once per day, even though I sit and cry tears of pain afterwards. The pain I am in is beyond description! 1000 milligrams of M-Eslon morphine three times per day plus my breakthrough doses every two hours do little to quell it. My right leg is the worse – I  have to drag it and put all my weight upon my cane. I am scared but also confident that my care team, especially my nuerologist, Dr S. Suppiah who is one of the world’s highest ranked, will find the cause of what is happening to me. I am positive that my chronic cauda equina and the seven fractured vertebrae in my lumbar are the cause. I was told after my 13th spinal surgery that they cannot operate again due to the condition and degradation of my vertebra. I refuse to give up. I refuse to become permanently confined to a wheelchair. I have faith in my team of doctors. What is bothering me the greatest is not knowi...

Do you think humans will ever colonize Mars? What would life there actually look like? Do I think humans will ever colonize Mars? I think we will die trying. Personally, I think that although we believe our technology is advanced enough to accomplish such a feat  i t certainly is not! Just because we can make it happen doesn’t necessarily mean we can do so successfully. What would life there actually look like? It would be the equivalent of doing life without parole in solitary confinement. Having a group of people confined in such a closed environment, adding in human nature with it’s emotional flaws, and you get a ticking time bomb. Sadly, we humans, no matter how cool and collective, can only tolerate being in confined quarters with each other for a limited period before we will begin to aggravate each other. It isn’t like we would be able to “go for a walk” to reset our emotions and thoughts. Even though humans are “societal” creatures, they are, at the same time, “solitary” an...

  I remember a time when going to a sports game was a family affair. The wife and I often took our oldest son to a Blue Jays game and by doing so built a stronger family bond. It was a little “ pricey “, but worth me having to work a couple of hours overtime every now and then. With my second boy we could not afford to go as often, but did go occasionally. There was a nine year gap in their ages and during that gap ticket prices began to slowly creep up. To the extent that I would have to work a day or two overtime to afford the family excursion. By the time son number three came into our perfectly dysfunctional family, going to a sports or concert venue was not even a consideration. Between son one and three there was a twenty year gap. Between sons two and three there was a thirteen year difference. By the time Number Three Son came along the players or performers were getting paid extremely high wages. Attending a game or show was beyond my wallets ability. Fast forward another ...

  I AM DISGUSTED THAT 60,000 JOINED THE WALK FOR ISRAEL IN TORONTO TODAY!!! DUE TO THE AVERAGE PERSON NOT KNOWING THAT NOT ALL JEWS ARE ZIONISTS IS THE CAUSE OF THE GROWING RISE IN ANTISEMITISM. UNTIL ISRAEL’S LEADERS ARE STANDING BEFORE THE WORLD COURT IN THE HAGUE FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY WE SHOULD BE SHOWING “ ANTI-ISRAELISM “, NOT “ ANTISEMITISM “! WHY ARE NON-ISRAELI JEWS WALKING WITH THE ZIONIST ISRAELI TERRORISTS? NO TRUE JEWISH PERSON SHOULD CONDONE THE ACTIONS OF ISRAEL! LOOK AT GAZA NOW THANKS TO THE ISRAELI TERRORISTS AND THE WONDERFUL AMERICAN BOMBS THAT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS SO WILLINGLY GIVE ISRAEL. “ARE YOU PROUD OF HOW WELL YOUR BOMBS WORK ON INNOCENT, NONCOMBATANT, UNARMED AND DEFENSELESS CIVILIANS AMERICA?”

I believe in minimalism in a minimalist way.

  With all the times I have died, how will I know when I am actually dead and not going to wake up on life support yet one more time? I have been legally dead, resuscitated and dependant upon very frightening life support to live thirteen times in the last decade. They were all for medical reasons. I had an additional three other instances in the late eighties and early nineties. I kid you not! These are all documented in my medical history. In many ways they were a curse. All things, good or bad, come with a price. They become very toxic, tiresome and extremely annoying all at the same time. Many years I walked through life in a dark fog of constant worry and fear. “Will it to happen again today?” It was not easy worrying if yet another organ would need emergency surgery, or I had another heart attack or post radiation side effects attack my body once again. It was destroying me! Until the day I snapped out of that paranoid fueled self-pity depression. That day I asked myself how ...

If I knew that my lessons learned would be the lessons I knew I learned to know that which I now know I knew, then, perhaps, I would know that which I already knew but neglected to know   that I knew I knew. You know???

  The abscess is the size of a walnut and oozing puss now. Two weeks ago they did a bunch of tests to see if they could remove my trach. They couldn’t because after having it for these past six years my lungs are too damaged and weak. Oxygen therapy would not make a difference. Without the trach I cannot speak, but worse than that, I cannot breathe properly enough to survive. If I had feeling in my throat and torso I may have discovered it a long time ago. I lost all feeling in my throat from being on life support 13 times in seven years. I NEVER GET THE USUAL AILMENTS. I ALWAYS GET THE WEIRDEST THINGS HAPPEN TO ME. For example, seven years with throat cancer and I still have my tonsils. But …… This is just one of those bumps in the road we all call  ‘life’ . My time is not yet. Of that you can bet.
