Well, I haven’t found a decent e-card online yet, at least without having to subscribe, I have failed miserably in getting you a decent birfday present, and even within what remains of my dirty pix found online over the years, could not find a sexy boy-toy to post for you, except maybe for a picture [...]

I couldn’t find the pictures that I had on Bessie from my late, great-uncle John’s funeral, as he was one of the very few veterans on teh Dick’s side of the “family,” and as far as I was concerned, he was the BEST PERSON IN THAT FAMILY, period. WWII, Korea, and then a career in [...]

I’ve been a hermit lately, just more of the same health crap (you really don’t wanna know), but at least I’ve finally got an appointment to set the date for the neck surgery, so that I can regain the use of my hands and SOMEDAY get off of the fucking pain meds. Which, hopefully, will [...]

With all the talk lately about the dangerous possibility that President Obama may appoint an empathetic judge on the Supreme Court I thought of this short thing I wrote for a writing class back in 1982. While recently having the misfortune to appear in court, I heard what I considered a rather strange statement. During [...]

that my 1991 Cosica turned 200,000 miles! woohoo And the good news is I finnally changed the studded winter tires for my old summer treads this morning. I would have done it a couple of weeks ago but I don’t have an extra set of rims so it meant breaking the tires down and mounting [...]

GOOD NEWS EDIT!!!As of 11P CST, roughly, we got news from Mentis that Frau Fugit is OKAY!!! False alarm, thankfully. Thank yer feline overlords, noodly appendages, or what-have-you. We’s just damned happy that she has a cautious doctor who WANTED to catch whatever-it-might’ve-been. In other news, no, I have not yet been able to bend [...]

Elaine from Cat Haven e-mailed me this the other day, and I was worried that it might be an “urban myth” fwd, so I wrote to Northern Tool FIRST, to see what they had to say. Following (at Storage Unit) are the original mail-out and my letter to NT&E, as well as the form letter [...]

You can all see what a hospital here looks like. Peter is in the last photo bottom right. I had to bring him his dentures so he wouldn’t have to gum his breakfast. LED tee-vee screens, hey! oooo. We’re making progress? I don’t the fuck know…. And on the post below that… I found my [...]

Out with the diaper man and in with a strong, smart woman who won’t take shit from anybody. You go girl.

Today was another watershed event. I got to ride an ambulance, get shut out of the decision process, and really be ‘stink sauer’ as we say. But the health people were good, believe me. I wish you all had a system similar to ours. Yes, you pay for it… But when you need it and [...]

AAANNNOTHER UPDATE: Somehow, I missed my dear ol’ friend Cat’s birfday, on May 29th, when re-assembling teh Birfdays List, prolly ’cause SHE NEVER REMINDED ME/RESPONDED TO THE MASS-MAIL-OUT QUESTIONNAIRE UNTIL NOW. At any rate, I gotta find something sexy & latex for her, or she’s gonna make me write fucking short stories… *sigh*ANYBODY ELSE GOT [...]

AM got canned. Purportedly really ‘Schiach’, which means they were horrible. And means they will put someone in who only works thirty hours a week, because it is cheap, and there is a recession on, and blah, blah, blah. blah… Stupid people, but shhh, don’t tell anyone… They deserve to go down the tubes. You [...]

Another friend of mine was sexually assaulted this weekend, and I’m posting this for her and for all of us. Title link goes to the updated version of the original poem from my NOLA days, 1998. The most frustrating part is to not BE THERE, to keep this shit from happening, or at the very [...]

You sometimes get in a rut, you know? Everyday is a routine. Some things aren’t always ok for you and you get testy. Today I went off the charts for PC. And then I had to laugh my ass off. I WISH I could have seen her face, when I picked up the phone, and [...]
