After returning from Florida and the trip to The USS/USNS Vandenberg I had been asked by Patti at International SCUBA about how the trip went after having dropped off my niece Marissa Marie to her mother's house in White Settlement, taking my children home and getting them situated, as well as unpacking the KIA Sedona Van and all of the luggage therein; as well as back to school. When I showed up to International SCUBA in Carrollton to help where I could and spoke about my trip while volunteering at the shop at the time, I was told after discussing the trip as well as including not getting to SCUBA Dive at the Georgetown Aquarium with the Whale Sharks or in any tank about Boca Raton SCUBA Dive and the Vandenberg SCUBA Dive. When I spoke of the other SCUBA Diver's lack of understanding when I asked about how to set up the Dive Plan and his lack of knowledge she said "That's what you get when you don't book a trip through my shop" and I said, "But there is so much more." She said "What could've happened other than that?" and I told her about the rest of the Vandenberg SCUBA Dive which she only said "Oh, my God." I told her "I obviously surface and then..." I discussed the conversation I had when yelling at the assigned SCUBA Diving partner on the trip to The USS/USNS Vandenberg. When Patti was done with her questions to me, I went to move some SCUBA tanks to the back area of the shop and discuss my future plans of classes, and that included the trip for learning how to utilize gear for Cavern SCUBA Diving. I turned my SCUBA gear into the shop to be serviced as well as to switch the hoses for the cavern trip, and then went on with other aspects at the time.
Later I met with the male I was dating at the time and cooked dinner for him after making my children dinner, and tucking them into bed. My daughter knew I was doing something different and when she asked I told her "I am having someone come over to the house right now, and we are going to have dinner and talk." She said "I want to meet him" and I said "No, the relationship has not been proven at this time to that level. You are to go to bed, and only if you need something are you to get me. You know how I am about if I am dating someone, it is a big deal for me to introduce you and your brother to someone I am involved with." While my son was perfectly fine going to sleep and staying in his room, my daughter on the other hand decided to go into James' room, take out the binoculars he had, and go to the edge of the hallways while Sean and I were eating dinner. I looked up after he said "I think we have a visitor" and I ran over from the side of the table I was sitting at, went along the area she did not have the binoculars looking, and startled her saying "You are not a ninja, little one." She giggled and I said "Let's go, scootch. It's time for bed, let's go." I walked her back to her room, tucked her back into bed, talked with her for a little bit, and then returned to the dining room to speak with Sean while eating dinner.
Later into the meal he asked how my trip went, and I told him about everything. When I told him about the Vandenberg trip, he coughed and spit out some of his food and said "What? Oh, my God." I asked "Are you okay? Do you need the heimlich manuever?" He said "No, I'm fine. What did you say? You did not land at the bottom of the ocean!" I said "Of course I did, I only speak the truth. I would not say I did something I did not do; you should know me better than that." After the discussion later in the evening, he had an issue and ended up leaving without an explanation. I tried calling him and I left him a voicemail, and sent two texts later on; but never heard back from him; though several months later after having returned from and finalizing earning my Cavern SCUBA certification in November 2009, Sean wanted to meet to talk. Albeit briefly, before he left.
...CAVERN SCUBA Certification...9 November 2009...and Underwater Pumkin Carving and The Chili Cook Off...
Though I had packed everything for my SCUBA trip and put everything at the front door it was not until getting to Florida when I learned I forgot my regulator, even though I had put it in the front area for me to be able to grab when taking my belongings to the chauffeur who drove me to the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. There Rich Troutte had rented a car to take Carmen (though I know her name is not Carmen and I do not know why I call her Carmen or remember her as Carmen, she was the other SCUBA Diving instructor on the trip for Cavern), Joe, Patrick, another male, and I to the cabin. After dropping off our gear we went to Cavern Excursions to rent a regulator because of my forgetfulness, though I knew I put my SCUBA gear all together in the same way I had done for when I went to Cozumel Mexico.
As we arrived and walked into the shop after Rich had called the Cavern Excursion shop, everyone was looking around the location. A male came out from the back area of the store and asked "Who is the fuck, forgot their regulator?" I raised my hand "That would be me, sir. I'm the one who forgot my regulator, I am sorry though. I did not do it on purpose, I packed everything I knew to bring." He walked over to me and said "You don't look like you are a SCUBA Diver I have seen before, what is your experience? Tell me, now." I said what I had done before getting involved with Cavern SCUBA Diving training and he sat down on a bench listening to me when he stopped me about halfway through the training portion after I had told him about my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury to ask me "What SCUBA Diving have you done in the ocean?" I said "Not nearly as much as I have in lakes, quarries, and hot springs. I only went to Cozumel for a few day SCUBA Dive trip as that was what I deemed for myself after my training because I had to complete so many SCUBA Dives before booking my trip, and then I SCUBA Dove at Boca Raton Florida, and then The USS/USNS Vandenberg."
He asked me about those SCUBA Dives and I told him about the pouffy Puffer Fish as well as the shark and other points, before discussing the Boca Raton SCUBA Dive. He asked "How did the Vandenberg dive go? That one hasn't been down there very long." I said what happened during the boat trip out to the ocean, about the assigned SCUBA Dive partner, and then what happened thereafter. When I said I landed and told him about what happened when I surfaced and all the other points in Post #6, he said "Oh, my God." I looked at him and asked "Was there something I said that caused you to say that, you're not the first person's whose eyes have done that when I have told them about that trip. Is everything okay?" He said "I want to show you what I have done." I said, "Okay, cool. What SCUBA training have you done? I guesstimate a whole bunch more than that guy I was assigned to, for The USS Vandenberg." He said "Yes, look at these maps. I drew these maps of the Peacock Springs One and Peacock Springs Two with my partner." I looked at them as he pointed to several spots and said "We put our extra SCUBA Dive gear here, here, and here before another SCUBA Dive when we put our gear here, here, here, here, and here." I said "You are very proud of that, you guys did a good job." He smiled and said "Oh, my God. Thank you." I said "What else did you do? Are these the only maps you had drawn up?" He told me some other aspects of what he had had, his partner and him had done, and a few other points.
Later after we talked for a bit he said "Okay, I better let you go SCUBA Diving. The sun is getting lower and you have a bunch of training you need to learn." I said "Okay, thank you for having a spare regulator for me to use." He said "Oh, my God. It's okay, its my pleasure." I said "You're funny" and when looking to Rich and Carmen who were talking with each other after I purchased a sweatshirt from the store I asked "Are you guys ready to go?" They looked at me and said "Yeah" slowly before asking me "Are you, ready?" I nodded my head signaling yes and said "I am so sorry I forgot my regulator, I thought I packed everything perfectly." They said "Let's go to the SUV."

Everyone walked over to the SUV and we went to leave to drive over to where Peacock Springs One is, to be go over the portions of class and the gear on the land before going to just the opening area and getting used to the feel of the different SCUBA Diving gear in comparison to the the normal Open Water SCUBA Diving equipment. During the first portion we worked outside of the entrance to the cavern well before ever entering the cavern to ensure each of us had our buoyancy under control, so as to minimize the silt kick up as well as several other aspects. Once those points were completed, we went into the cavern after eating a bit. Once the day was over, the group went back to the cabin after picking up some food to cook at the cabin to eat for dinner. Carmen and I slept in the same room as the other males were in the other rooms of the cabin. The next day we went over other skills on land before going into the water at Peacock Springs One, and the following day we went to Peacock Springs Two for the final day of SCUBA Diving there. When returning to the cabin we packed up our belongings, returned to Cavern Excursions to return the SCUBA regulator, and then back to the cabin for the last few hours before getting ready to fly out of the Orlando International Airport.
Before leaving Carmen told Rich she wanted me to go through extra buoyancy training in the pool to ensure I was able to keep my buoyancy under control, before allowing me to graduate. Though the trip had been in the middle of September 2009 to ensure I was home for both of my children's birthdays in that month,I met with Rich a few different occasions at the Garland location before that location's shop had closed; whenever that happened.
Before the final class which I earned my Cavern SCUBA Dive certification, I had attended the first annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest with Chili Cook Off at Clear Springs SCUBA Park in October 2009. I was convinced by Billy AKA SCUBudha to try for the Chili cookoff knowing I am a good cook as he also asked if I was going to try to be a part of the Underwater Pumpkin Carving contest. I told him "I can take pictures of the contest, but I cannot participate in the Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest because I can't touch the fresh fruits or vegetables, because I am weirdly allergic to fresh fruits and vegetables. I can take the pictures, but not touch the Pumpkins. I have to wear gloves to cut pineapple and cantaloupe for my children when they want fruits, so it probably wouldn't be a good idea. I'll think about the Chili Cook-off though, as I haven't ever cooked chili before."
After of which I went home, created a Chili recipe after finding out there were different categories of the Chili Cook-off of which I wondered to myself "Why would there be vegetarian chili or chili without beans, or both?" During the week I found what ingredients I needed to make the chili and did so and during the weekend of the Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest I had gone to Clear Springs SCUBA Park, put the red crock-pot I had used to make chili to the event, took my camera out with my other SCUBA Diving gear, and went into the water. I did not think about the fact pieces of freshly cut Pumpkin would be floating around the lake would cause my allergic reaction to be a problem and after taking several pictures of Billy and Joe with my camera I purchased on eBay, I had to surface because of my difficulties breathing. After getting out of the water it took awhile for my skin to calm down as it was as red as a lobster and my lips were larger than normal because of the allergic reaction. It took me even longer to get myself to be able to breathe because of my lungs having issues, and since no one asked what was wrong or tried to help me; I had to take care of myself, sadly as usual. In reference to the Chili Cook-Off I won the contest, and the regulator prize. You can read about that in my second book "Finding The Silver Lining By: Susan MeeLing" and the combination of these stories among others show my cognitive issues in full.
Pictures I took from the October 2009 Pumpkin Carving Contest in Clear Springs SCUBA Park of various SCUBA Divers in the competition
As a side note I never gave anyone permission to use the pictures I took nor did I give anyone permission to use the video I made when in class and despite my SCUBA gear having been on the UHaul truck that was impounded after the moving company who said they would not be able to fit all of my belongings with my children's belongings onto the 24 foot truck which meant I had to rent another truck and pay for such; which UHaul did not inform me they had my stuff until after it was sold in a lot which I would have done what was necessary to pick up my stuff instead of going through my bank insurance to try to recuperate only part of what the worth of my belongings were instead of the full value as I deserved and still do; if the owner of International SCUBA had something to do with my camera and/or my images being used since she had developed a PADI Underwater Pumpkin Carving certification course; where are the funds I am due for the pictures I took if they were hypothetically used? Again, I did not give my permission for the pictures to be used before as I guesstimate there are contracts involved which I signed none and have not received any financial compensation for my pictures nor credits due. Same in reference for the video images on Jeff Davis' video camera during my class of the intellectual property and creative rights thereof; among quite a bit of other aspects I am beyond tired for not receiving credit and the compensations thereof for what I did.
Just because I had a head injury on Psalm Sunday in 2000 and medical problems/disabilities because of does not mean anyone has the right to take advantage of such. For example the same in reference to my creative idea and intellectual property rights of the Dr. Pepper milkshake I designed in 200.3 which I did not sell nor get compensation for what is mine, again. Anyone other than me notice how the weather and climate along with multiple earthquakes has been when such type of things have occurred to me being taken advantage of, and not properly acknowledged and compensated as I should; because of this era's legal aspects? Or is it just me, who noticed that? Something should be done to fix that immediately without making me have to jump through the loopholes and try to figure that out, that might be better than the other way around. One could joke of a new definition for the term, "terrible twos" with such injustices towards my intellectual property rights and my creative rights, as well as what occurred to my children and I since what happened at McCoy Elementary School including during The Fort Worth Zoo events and what happened after.
...In CLOSING...
While I had done a few other SCUBA Dives at Clear Spring SCUBA Park including at that point being the youngest person to do the Polar Bear Plunge at Clear Springs for the 2009-2010 season, I felt the need to back away from SCUBA Diving because of the effects from after having landed at the bottom of the ocean when SCUBA Diving. Again of which no one helped me to fix anything in regards to what I was going through, though since no one asked me if anything was wrong with the after effects of that SCUBA Dive; I had to figure out how to take care of my children and I. No, I will not write of what I did for myself here nor will I discuss such unless I am court ordered to because truly; its no one's business but mine how I survived such nor what I did to ensure my survival. If one were to think my prayer was what did so, one would be sadly and irresponsibly mistaken as that prayer is for on land and not in the ocean. While that prayer can be used for certain types of missions, that does not include for the aspects in regards to what I did for myself to heal from such.
One aspect I have wondered but have never been able to put into words had been in reference to the SCUBA Dive at the Vandenberg when I landed at the bottom of the ocean and surfaced, in combination with the Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury. As I already had multiple problems and issues with the technology of computers and cellphones since waking up from the coma and being in Medical Hold Unit, I wondered if part of my difficulties in Washington state had been due to the electrical output in combination from the aspects in specific from the ocean. I could not put such into words before because of the way my thought processes can be, and when in Washington state all I could say was "it hurts more here" because of being zapped when in the area of. Though I am unaware what occurs when electricity meets water and since having surfaced from the depths of the Matthias Abyss, I did not know how to ask such a question before. Maybe someone somewhere has done something to see what happens when mixing electrical energies with water molecules, but I am unsure at this time. Maybe I learned that before my head injury or maybe after but before I went SCUBA Diving, but I do not know now. If such is an issue on top of the problems from when I had already been dealing with from my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury, maybe that is something of which makes more sense as to waxing the side of my head for my haircut. Whereas in the state of Texas I could tolerate albeit still extremely painful when my glasses would touch my head and inevitably the hair on my head, but in Washington state and especially in the Seattle area which it would be much more painful for me; I wonder if that too was an issue with the contact lenses I used to be able to wear more often in the state of Texas compared to when I was in Washington state.
Though some might consider now in Texas that to be "phantom pains", the reality is because of getting used to the waxing of the hair from the side of my head while it is not electrocuted in the same manner of which it occurred in Washington state, that does not change the fact I have headaches and migraines and my hair is heavy. While I am glad the zapping does not occur in the same manner of which it occurred when in Washington state as now in the state of Texas, the aspects of the weight of my hair has not gotten lighter. Thus because of having had Lindsey do my hair cut (or as I say my many hairs cut because you don't get one hair cut, you get all of them cut) as awesomely as she does, I have been used to that weight being taken off for over 6 years at this point. To attempt to allow that hair to grow back any longer than a week and I feel the effects of the additional weight and it makes my headaches and migraines escalate in pain levels. I definitely do not need any additional pain, believe me. There is not one second in the day, my headaches do not cause me pain. When my hair moves without any wind in a location I am at such as my apartment right now, the pain levels rise as though to cause unnecessary additional pain increases.
If that comes across as selfish, well I am tired of being taken advantage of. If that means others in the SCUBA realm have issues which they cannot fix themselves I suppose what I was told in regards to "Well, you know it means Self-Contained" then I suppose such too could be said as such in return. In regards to my idea of the Underwater Travel System that I designed being attempted to move forward without my direct involvement which I posted pictures of on my Facebook account which is the same account of which Facebook will not allow me back into without giving them a copy of my personal government issued ID while not being a part of the United States government who I also contacted, but they refuse to let me back into my account; of which if they become a part of The United States of America's government and thus make a public declaration of such then and only then will I feel comfortable enough to send in a picture of my identification. However similarly my prior reasons of why I have not give Facebook a copy of my identification since that company as I have been told as seen in his testimonies at the federal buildings of Washington DC has been known to sell people's information without getting their consent to such and putting such into the Terms and Conditions, in my opinion is not a morally nor ethical way to get people's approval for such nor should it be considered as legal because if the guy from WikiLeaks is prosecuted for what he did then so too should every single Facebook employee in the exact same way in my opinion; however unlike WikiLeaks for that guy's document aspects Facebook should have to pay restitution to every single one of its users for such especially if they were purposefully selling people's information to overseas companies which do not have treaties with The United States of America and could be considered to be held in contempt for doing so while be in trouble for denying people's First Amendment Constitutional Rights. While The United States of America's individual states do set up voter registration as an option or automatically depending upon the state, I do not comprehend why I have ever been requested to give my identification of which that occurred to me in Washington state the last time I attempted to sign into my account without any clarification as to the purpose other than Facebook locked my account. As much as I was being electrocuted and zapped because of being in the area of Washington state, I was not adding to my problems in that manner without an explanation as to why.
I may be odd in not comprehending why I would need to do as such, but I sent a message to the Facebook administration and never received a response; within two weeks.
Since that company was started in The United States of America and if they allow violent speech instead of peaceful speech then it shows how the owners especially promote treasonous activities against The United States of America as well as all of the individual accounts they allow to be on their Facebook platform one could view as the same; as well as their richer friends who have paid for such types of access. If political parties have gotten involved with attempting to silence the other side when not in a violent manner of writing then how is such any different from the times when this country was first founded, and what then President George Washington and the other Founding Fathers and Mothers had done so to protect the citizens of The United States of America from? That was a specific point of which the Founding Fathers and Mothers had worked together to prevent in the future which is now, from occurring. Hopefully the United States of America's government does what is necessary to rectify such and does not allow Facebook or other technology companies from preventing Freedom of Speech if they are founded in The United States of America especially, but also if their businesses work within the area of The United States of America. Just because the areas involving technological means had not been traveled before, does not mean morals and ethics should not be remembered nor should be forgotten.
Also a different side not I think people who live in apartment complexes unlike houses when the ability to see the mailbox everyday when going to heir home should be given extra time for legal responses, since unlike in houses people do not always pass by their mailbox system of which they are not always reminded to check the mail in the same way and also in this era of which more people are not accustomed to their new surroundings; if the government makes waivers for voting aspects and census reports; why not for those who live in apartment complex dwellings for legal aspects? Similar aspects, yes? Should not such be doubled in time allowances or tripled if there is a known disability to ensure responses for legalities? Whereas lawyers have a staff of however many, the average individual does not always have access to such luxuries for help. For those who are like me who do not live with anyone else as well as has the medical aspects thereof, are there not such leniencies to adjust the time for triple? For example if the average is two weeks for a response but the person does not have a legal team to pick up the mail, should it be changed to four weeks for ability to respond? In turn for those who live alone/do not have a legal team, as well as have disabilities should such be considered as a six week availability for such when living in an apartment complex and not going to see the mailbox on a continuous basis? I cannot be the only person who has such difficulties, I just do not believe such; because I know I am not the only one in such regards. While it must be nice to be able to be in a firm which has others to help and for those who live in a house with others who can assist with getting the mail, I am not the only one of whom such could be such a difficulty for. What about those who are freshly without children in the house or a spouse which assists with getting the mail, and for the first time in a long time being left alone to such What if said individual is also in the category of being disabled and takes even longer than most who are not, because of said disability/disabilities; not forgetting the type(s) thereof?
However more so along the lines of its my ocean and the Mer-people did not allow anyone else such plans and thus they will not allow anyone else to attempt such without extremely expensive results which will not be allowed to go through without my involvement; as they the Mer-people would know whether or not I personally gave the approval for others to begin such a project. They do not care about the contracts on land the way humans do at all, in the slightest. Though I guesstimate some individuals and businesses may have been learning the hard way about such; as they do not need me to speak to comprehend what is going on, nor do they need me to write to read my words. Humans are the only ones who need that from me, not the animal Kingdom...or should I say/type Animal Queendom. However I will end with particular posing this question in regards to my Underwater Travel System but also Space type of travel in regards to other life forms out there (as I have said before: Anyone who is arrogant enough to believe the earth is the only planet which is populated with intelligent life form is ignorant to the ways of the galaxy as when humans think they know more about space than they do about our own oceans, how can one ever go into space an expect not to come across what humans call species to surprise them?): When a hunter goes out to the woods to hunt and comes across a bear in the woods, does the bear ask whether or not the hunter has insurance when defending itself; or does the bear just defend itself?
I do not believe it takes a head injury to figure out the answer, to that question.
