I am starting to sound like a broken record. I can count on two fingers the people who I cannot consider nice or otherwise on our road trip out here, as they were more disengaged than anything. But all the way out here and since arriving in Ohio, it is almost The Stepford State. SmilesContinue reading “Nice People”

Ouch
Or like my Uncle Mike used to say, “two big ouches!” No, not the pain of umpteen unnecessary needles for yet another useless lab, not the pain-in-the-ass newbie who won’t let me even try to get a few hours of sleep, and certainly not the minimal inconvenience of having six stents placed in my heart.Continue reading “Ouch”
Never Saw it Coming
By the time I was diagnosed with diabetes, I was full-blown with both feet suffering extreme neuropathy. But since I worked sometimes 16 hours a day as a chef, I just called them sore feet. I ignored an obvious sign. So I totally saw diabetes coming, I was just an alcoholic doing drugs, eating allContinue reading “Never Saw it Coming”
Scared To Death
At 3:30 this morning I bolted upright in the hotel bed. I was soaked with sweat and it reminded me of way back when I was neglecting my diabetes. But what drove me to being scared to death was I was unable to catch my breath and that was sending me to coughing fits. “BetterContinue reading “Scared To Death”
At Long Last
Wow, it has been what, an entire week I have been without my “medicine”? I did not want to resort to interstate drug trafficking by bringing out some medical marijuana from Arizona. In order to make my purchase, I had to drive out to BFE. I know I’ve alluded to many out-of-the-way places as beingContinue reading “At Long Last”
Wouldn’t Be Prudent
We have offered on our second house, and we are still going back and forth with the seller about some things that we want taken care of before we close and move in. But it’s looking good. One thing I learned from my big brother (among a plethora of things) was this: The word unspokenContinue reading “Wouldn’t Be Prudent”
The PROS & CONS of having only one leg
I have been an amputee now for twenty months. It sucks. But being the critical thinker I am (mama didn’t raise no cornpone), I have to look at both sides of any equation. I have to consider not only the obvious but the subtle nuances if you will, to provide the full picture. You mayContinue reading “The PROS & CONS of having only one leg”
Two Words
It seems like today’s world revolves around two words everywhere you look. My right. No way. Me too. Get out. Listening to EX-governor Mario Cuomo change his tune was funnier than firing up a blunt and watching an episode of Family Matters. What a load of horseshit. And he is a Democrat. Certainly no RepublicanContinue reading “Two Words”
Second Chances
There are no second chances. We are undeterred as we push forward with our second offer on a house. We were really hoping the inspection done this morning would be free of any major problems which would cost us, but alas, we have put a repair list together for the sellers to address, or notContinue reading “Second Chances”
Apes
Did you know that we are apes? We are classified as hominids, which are Great Apes. So basically, while everyone is searching for the origin of man, look no further than Southeast Asia and Africa for where-we-all-began. But what of the origin of life itself? Check out Milton Geiger’s I Will Not Go Back. IContinue reading “Apes”
