What Was That? - Yup We Are Hearing Things Too

Yesterday, we posted this message on Facebook:  
"Curious...
Did anyone hear a sudden boom or loud rumble that lasted for a split second or more in Thunder Bay around 1:05pm EST? if you are thinking we're kooky research strange booms, mystery sky sounds...you'd be surprised." One friend heard it far away from us. No idea so far what that was. No, not a sonic boom. I even tried searching for seismic activity readings in our area but no success.

It isn't the first time we've heard strange sounds in our city. A while back my husband and I once again, just working at home suddenly heard some very loud almost trumpet like sounds. Tried to record them. Oddly enough, nothing can be heard except a few faint sounds. Strange thing is, the sounds were loud and long! They were identical to many sounds we've heard around the world when researching it online. If you are interested just Google Strange Sky Noises or Trumpet sounds.  Here is the video we made about that then.

Now for the newest on strange anomalies we've learned about.
We enjoy watching this channel called SecureTeam10. Tyler share what he finds as well as videos and experience that others send him. He isn't sensationalistic, just wanting to talk about what is really going on in our skies and earth. We don't hold to the same views like he and other do, like there really is extraterrestrial life out there. More on our position at the bottom of the page. Right now we want to share a very puzzling recent event that most of us never heard or felt. On September 11, 2018 a "hum" or low seismic activity went around the entire globe. No effects or rumblings. Check SecureTeam's video below where we first learned about it...
Watch: Something Strange Went Around The World

Another Channel we watch a lot is called MrBB333. He shares what people send him of all kinds of curious photos, sounds, observations and such, along with his research and a web sight he has that offers a one stop place to check out what's happening all around us, including the skies.
He elaborated on the September 11th event that travelled actross the earth over a period of days. What is even more curious is the location of the seismic event was at the same depth in each location, 6.2 miles down!
Watch His Findings...

Well watching all this had me scratching my head. I  started looking around and discovered this article about how scientists plan to drill down to the earth's core (Click here to see). And what made my jaw drop was the fact that the total water and crust they have to drill through totals...6.2 miles! Here is the article if you are interested in learning more about that.

As Christians, based on our research, we can't ignore the plethora of sightings and encounters are real in many cases but, they are a distraction/deception from the enemy of our souls. If your interested in learningg more about this very real topic from a Christian point of view, especially since  many churches or Christians won't talk about it. Most look at you like we are out of our tree! We suggest the follow links to begin researching what they really are and how we know this provided at the bottom of the page. There is a coming great deception. Could this be part of it?

Waking Up! - WARNING - This Article Is Vital To Know BUT CONTAINS GRAPHIC Content

Walking Way Overrated is about out lives and doesn't just mean talking about the physical disability aspect of them but our lives in general. That means topics we find relevant and want to share. A huge part of who we are is our love for Jesus Christ. We believe the Holy Bible is God's inerrant Word. As a result of our new life in Christ, our convictions are always increasing on what's right or wrong. In recent years we have bee actively researching many subjects such as discovering if certain conspiracy theories are true or not. Seeking truth in daily life matters to us as well as HIS Truth. Now you don't need to be a Christian to feel strongly that human life being valuable at all stages. Once you watch what this fellow below has to share, you will definitely be impacted.

Here is another article about the topic (click here)

Many of us have heard of Planned Parenthood and how they actually tragically, not only murder young babies, but also harvest and sell their body parts off to various companies. The reasons for this horrifying act isn't something I ever looked into, because the whole topic infuriates me so much, I tend to stay away from it, leaving it in God's hands. All things happen for a reason, so yesterday as I was watching a variety of videos on YouTube like I do daily, topics that most people I know are not interested in, up came this one. A fellow warning that the content to his video could be disturbing and was graphic - turn back if you don't want to be disturbed. So why would I watch something so disturbing? Well, it was clear the topic was important for people to know. Even though I had to turn away from the tragic images of murdered babies due to abortion, as shocked and mortified as I was, I knew we had to know this too. Which means, we feel the need to share our discovery with anyone else who wants to learn hard hitting realities. We can boycott companies, pray, educate and just walk awakened, rather than in the dark. So we strongly suggest watching this fellow's youtube video called, "HEK 293 GOOGLE IT And See What It Is. " His channel is called Watchman Jerry Toney.
Here is the Eye Opening Video

If you watched it, once you process this eye opening information, we hope you share what you have learned with others. We definitely are re-evaluating what we buy and eat. Once we learn something like this, it is impossible to just ignore it and say nothing. Our comforting Hope is that all of these wee souls are in Jesus' Hands and that the offenders, criminals who do not repent and turn to Jesus for forgiveness, will receive God's real justice when it is His time. May God wake them all up and stop all of it.

UPDATE:

Since this topic is new to us, wanted to confirm what food companies to boycott. That's when I discovered a recent update saying that HEK293 fetal cells are no longer in any foods. Now, I am not sure yet if this is true. It would be great if it is. Here is the link to an article to learn more. Please do your own research before throwing out all your food stuffs. If boycotting made a difference, all the more reason to speak out! 

HeArtfully Creating: Some Thoughts and A Video: On Patreon And Earning ...

Hi, it's been a while since posting anything new on WWO. Hope you are all doing wll. It has been a busy few month creating between resting and dealing with being a middle aged, perimenopausal woman 😁😂😏😖😥😨😡, (I think these emoji's say it all!) More on the joys of aging as a woman another time! 
If you are new to WWO, my husband and I both live with physical disabilities. He's a retired letter carrier and uses a manual wheelchair due to Spina Bifida Occulta and all that can go with it, and I was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 3. My legs are a power chair. My life has been and

continues to be be a great adventure. Walking Way Overrated was created to be a place to share a

variety of topics intended to not just have fun, but provide encouragement and resources for our peers and anyone interested in real life, reviews, insight and a few laughs. 

One huge area of my life is art making. Since the age of the internet, I have been enjoying creating creativity and art making tutorials for a YouTube channel and blog called HeArtfully Creating, as well as related Facebook groups and pages. See below for all those links if you want.
What's New?
Something very new that I wanted to talk about has been finally joining Patreon. That was a hard decision. Being  provided with an opportunity to earn any money to do what I love us an exciting opportunity. Because I spent most of my love not being able to work or earn a living, it is so great to see that persons living with a disability have opportunities I never did. A lot of us could earn a living if we could work at our own pace or as our health dictates, at home. So I don't repeat myself, I am sharing directly from my HeArtfully Creating blog along with a video about overcoming the talk of ignorant people if you need to be on assistance like I depended on.

So here is the rest if you are interested....
Taken from here.
Being an artist I have always wanted to earn a living making art.  After much contemplation and initially struggling with the idea of Patreon and after wanting to become a patron of other creators, I finally decided it was okay to set up a Patreon account, just to present it as an option to anyone interested. Yes, It feels weird even to talk about the idea of anyone giving any amount of money to support my creativity. Heck, I'm Not even comfortable telling people prices for my art work or setting prices in my Etsy shop. So please know that in no way do I expect anyone to make a pledge or sponsor what I do.  No matter how this adventure goes, as long as the Good Lord puts breath in my lungs, I will continue to create and share in whatever way possible.
What made me jump in?
I have concluded that if I enjoy learning from or like what other creators do, even though it's their choice to produce what they do, that to support what the do not just by giving them a thumbs up or positive comment, along with sharing their link -  by offering a dollar a month (or however much), then it helps encourage them even a wee bit to create more great content. Or it just helps to say thank you for what you do, I am watching/reading your stuff. 
Earning A Living
For many these days, creating you tube videos, tutorials and/or blogging is how they want to earn a living, hoping to leave their day job. Definitely, I can relate to that.

As an artist myself, I know the time and energy that can go into planning, filming, writing, editing, producing, and not to mention the equipment and software costs needed to provide quality visuals with good audio. (Obviously, that's not my content- yet! :0) So when I sign up to be a patron, I am simply trying to encourage them to keep doing what they do. That it may mean they can devote more time doing what they are so good at instead of having to stop creating or producing, to work at a job they don't love, to pay daily living expenses. Most folks are creating in their spare time for fun, which is great. For me, I started sharing on the internet what I do for fun, because I love talking and I really love teaching what I know, especially art making.

Not to mention, because of my life experience - living with a physical disability, and becoming a Christian, my heart feels lead to share what I have learned to hopefully encourage and help others. Makes sense since the lives of others encourages me.  Then ways became available to earn a little (for some, a lot) extra money doing what I love as a bonus. That's how I see earning platforms like,

Google Adsense (it took me about 4 years to earn $100) and Patreon (brand new to that one). Even though it works  out to .068 cents a day, it was still a rush receiving that deposit for doing what I enjoy. It definitely helps to encourage me to try harder and work even more. 

What If... When people Like, share and subscribe, as well as leaving positive comments on our pages and channels, that is a huge way to show support that I am thankful for. And these days, now having the possibility of receiving financial support to do what I love, is an added bonus making it possible to earn a living for some. 

If it is meant to be, and I am blessed with any support, depending on what happens, my hope aside to help contribute to our living expenses, but also (my dream list)  to obtain better equipment to record quality video tutorials and vlogs as well as editing software and such. Having a means to record videos and photos in a better way, have lighting, and a microphone, proper editing software and such would mean it would be possible to create a more enjoyable viewing and listening experience. Not to mention improving our internet speed/equipment for uploading the videos for our channel. If it didn't get so frustrating trying to upload, I would post more of them. In fact, the video for this post took about 4 attempts and a total of 5-6 hours to finally get it uploaded properly. Not sure why but on average, it takes about 2-3 hours or more to upload a 10-25 minute video and we are unable to use the laptop or our smart tv while it loads.

 As well if support is received, it could fulfill my life long dream, which is to earn money on my own, working at what I love and can do, being an artist. You may already know the progressive neuromuscular disorder I was born with, Spinal Muscular Atrophy 3, has meant depending on the help of others physically and financially (like my husband's retirement pension supporting us). I shared my thoughts and experiences on that topic in the video below.

Watch My Dad Build My Customized Desk

Hi there. A few years ago my talented Dad built me a huge customized desk. I  have had the footage since then and finally got it all put together into a video. He has built so many great pieces over my 52 years, the list is endless. This is the most recent. It is great to have a lot of surface area when you use a wheelchair. It means I can store things where I can see them and access them with ease. As a visual artist, collecting art supplies is an addiction. Having a large area with easy to pull drawers makes my artistic life possible. Thank you always to my wonderful Dad, and Mom too of course. Having caring parents without special needs is a blessing, and an even bigger blessing when you do have those unique needs.
Take a watch Below!

Replacing A Mattress For Adjustable Bed: Watch Our "Unboxing" and Review of The Logan and Cove Mattress In A Box

Recently we realized our brand new twinxl mattresses that were only six months old, were just not helping my back. We have a great Leggett and Platt adjustable bed. See here to learn more about that in a previous post with video. The new mattress on my side was sinking too far after only a couple weeks. For sixteen years we have been using the same adjustable bed, but needed to replace the very excellent Sealy for adjustable beds, mattresses. Our king size bed is comprised of two twin xl beds.

Because bed support is super important for people with back issues, like severe scoliosis, it was clear we needed to replace the new Simmons mattresses from the Brick.

Not in the mood to figure out what would work best. Afraid of buying another wrong mattress, I tried researching the only brick and mortar stores I knew of like the Brick, Leons and Dufrenes. But nothing made me feel confident they would work out. Beds can't really be truly returned. In fact because twin xl's are custom made, the Brick said there was no way to return or exchange them. Not to mention, I was scared of wasting more money we didn't have.

Bed support is critical

So while we watched review after review about beds/mattresses, I remember seeing the Logan and Cove website pop up. Craig asked me to check out the Endy mattress online and I think that was how the other popped up. Needless to say, we ordered an Endy pillow (slept on it two nights- too firm, not squishable...more on that in the future) but, the mattress didn't feel right. Never interested in just a foam mattress, we moved on. Then after my exasperation set in, I just couldn't pick one confidently so on a whim and possibly Divine intervention, we ordered this mattress called Logan Cove from Novosbed in Canada.

Watch our new Bed review!! 

What drew me was the hybrid luxury aspect of it, individually wrapped pocket coils that are 13 and 14 gauge, giving them better spring and support I assume. And it had layers of different support foams and bonus, it stated it was suitable for an adjustable bed!  Plus it has a 120 sleep night guarantee. The one draw back was, it had a pillow top. For me, I always avoided pillow tops, assuming they would compress and not be soft or be too soft. But this didn't stop me this time. There was a special "feeling" this time...just order it, you need a new mattress.

A Jump To King Size
Because we never use the individual controls on our adjustable bed, I just need it to sit up and be comfy, we finally opted to buy a full king mattress. No more seam down the center and it was about three hundred dollars cheaper to buy a king as opposed to two twin xl's. The bed was ordered.

While we waited, I started browsing on Amazon and saw another similar looking mattress that has springs and foam, and was less than half the price. After a mild panic, asing Craig if we should cancel the new one and buy this really cheap one,  I called the L and C number a couple times asking questions. They were very nice. Needless to say, we got a grip and stayed committed to the L and C mattress. We concluded that we always learn lessons the hard way when we cheap out. After all, the Amazon one didn't have the same quality at all. You could tell from reading and comparing. Be careful about opting for what is cheap, it is why we already wasted money on the last mattresses and don't get me started on pillows! (more on that in the future).

The Final Verdict?
Check out our video to see what we thought and think so far.

Walking Way Overrated: Anita's New Wheelchair Grand Finale!

Yay guys!  Hopefully in the last eight months or so, any of you who are seeking to get a new wheelchair or want to recommend it to someone that you care about, you're able to glean some information from the process that I've been going through...

To cut to the chase, if you wish dive right in to share the joy with me!

And then last week (hence the new video) the Grand Finale that I am sharing with you today, is because on February 20, 2018, my favourite tech and salesperson from our vendor, took my chair in the morning, returning it with replaced parts and the long awaited for bestest back to date, the Jay 3 back, is back number five. 
Watch The Grand Finale Below! 

Using a wheelchair for 90% of my life, this past experience was the longest "in the process," process, that I've ever went through. It definitely requires the patience of God, as well as helping with research, instead of what I did before - nothing. I would just let the salesperson  and professionals, tell me what I needed. I didn't think we were allowed to get involved, turns out I was wrong. This time around, I learned that I was able to do my own research on Internet, looking at a plethora of options that are out there. The sales person, that we've known and loved for over 20 years, helped me out tremendously, accepting my choices, bringing them to fruition.

The long timeline,  makes complete sense, when your physical needs have escalated. It is why was the physiotherapist and occupational therapists, make sure that your seating needs are met to the best of their ability. And I'm sure it is why, in our province of Ontario, we are permitted to get a new back and  cushion every two years. Why did I wait 12 years? Just didn't know that new backs for possible. By now I know. Having wonky seating definitely has helped encourage my back to curve more. I look forward to years of more support. Especially, since we now have a really good supportive bed. (more on that and another video/blog soon) High-level needs people such as myself, have ever-changing physical needs regarding seating support and such.

My new wheelchair process, has been going on since April 2017 to be exact. That was when I first received my new power tilt Motion Concepts/Invacare wheelchair. To give a brief summary, in case you don't know, on the very first day, I had joystick troubles so my chair shutdown sporadically. As often happens, the specialized wheelchairs, with various components need to be tried out. Went through a few headrest options. And the biggest was finding the best back for my requirements.
The goal of course, is to find what works for each client. Which meant for me, the first back didn't work for my spine needs. The long and the short of it is. Due to technical difficulties, my entire wheelchair was fully replaced once, along with some other minor issues about parts that needed to be switched out, including another joystick and my power tilt components.

To find out just how well my entire new chair is take a watch below!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fridge Talk Part 2 - Craig Christens our New Fridge With A Grocery Haul

Hi everyone. Here is part two about our new fridge. We are done talking fridge safety and see Craig christen the fridge as well as share why this model is much more wheelchair user friendly as well as a couple surprises at the end. If you haven't seen Part One click here.

Walking Way Overrated: (Video) Fridge Talk - Food Safety . Being Fridge-less . Access To It- Part #1

We take a lot of things for granted these days. Refrigeration indoors is one of those things. A couple weeks ago, we noticed some funky food doors emanating from our Kitchenmaid fridge that was fifteen years old. Clearly, the freezer wasn't going to temperature at safe levels. To confirm that, we took our outside thermometer and used it to check the fridge and freezer. Sure enough, both sides were ten degrees (in Celsius) too low.

Confirmed by our trusted Fridge Doctor,(really, that is his company name), we ordered an inexpensive, discontinued Fridgidaire. Craig is the one who accesses the fridge so the question was, should we get one with the side by side, like we had but clearly had difficulties accessing areas when using a wheelchair. Or, do we get the traditional upper freezer, with lower fridge or vice versa? Years ago I  had an accessible apartment with the side by side and assumed that was the more accessible type refrigerator. But after having our own for fifteen years, we concluded that because of the vertical divide, the shelves are narrow and deeply inset, making it harder to reach more areas.

The Bottom freezer idea would mean not being able to reach down and in deep enough, limiting access. And not being able to access the upper most fridge shelves.

Top Freezer, or the Old fashioned style would work best.  Ideally, if you require an accessible fridge, if you can, please go to a store and try reaching and getting to all the parts you need to, to help make your decision. This is just our opinion....

We will show more in the video part 2 shortly.

An UpLIFTing Adventure?

If you're new to Walking Way Overrated, you might want to check out this video/ blog Post, to catch up on what's been happening to my poor husband Craig trying to get into our wheelchair accessible van.  On the other hand, If you've been hanging around WWO for a while, one of our dear friends who actually know our situation, meaning we've seen you face-to-face, looked each other straight in the eye, then you know what's been happening. Not saying that people online aren't friends, I think you know what I mean.

It is actually been a couple of weeks since Craig was able to run errands or use our van for whatever, because he has been stuck in our van two times in a week. We've had two technicians look at our wheelchair lift since then, and of course both times the list work pretty good. The conclusion from both were, possibly the remote control system. But that's all I'm going to say because I made a video sharing the exciting adventures that Craig has recently been on. Or has he?
