Christians banging On My Door.

Japan is not a Christian country, that is to say; the nation doesn't worship the same god as western countries. There is no Jesus, Mary or mother of God. Most the country is Buddhist or Shinto or both. Buddhism came to Japan centuries ago, while Shinto is actually Japanese and therefore was born... Sign in to see full entry.

My Gout, Part Four Final.

The doctor sat there smiling at me while I thought about these little pills I was suppose to shove up my ass twice a day. I never heard the door open and the nurse enter. He and the doctor started talking, but I wasn't listening and their voices were just a mumble in the background. I had visions on... Sign in to see full entry.

My Gout Part Three

As I said, the doctor and his high-pitched speaking nurse were trying to speak in quiet tones, but like the dome of St Paul's Cathedral in London, I could hear pretty much everything that was being spoken. It seemed that the clinic only had a couple of wheelchairs and they were in use at that... Sign in to see full entry.

Gout Part Two.

Slowly I moved along the corridor toward the doctor's room or office. There were doors on both sides of the hallway and the corridor seems to go on forever. My foot ached and I moved at a snail's pace. I couldn't seem to find the right door. "Go straight and turn right," I said to myself, parroting... Sign in to see full entry.

Gout, he couldn't figure it out.

It was a Monday morning in August in 2007. I woke up that morning with a severe pain just below the ankle of my left foot. I could hardly walk, I could hardly move. The slightest movement, was a new experience in pain. My wife suggested I stay in bed for a while until my foot felt better, as it was... Sign in to see full entry.

Waddle and the bankcard.

Waddle stands there looking at this new message flashing on the screen. She contorts her face, trying to figure why the machine thinks the card is fake. I stand there slowly shaking my head. There's one other ATM machine and I decide to leave Waddle to her own fate and join the other line. Other... Sign in to see full entry.

Mrs. Waddle

Mrs. Waddle stands in front of the machine waiting for it to return her card. Nothing is happening, she keeps looking around wondering what the problem is. The ATM's voice again, speaks from its depths; "Please enter your secret number." Waddle does nothing, the machine repeats its wayward line,... Sign in to see full entry.

The ATM

We have all, at sometime in our lives, been in dire need of cash. Usually the situation is you don't have a great deal of time and decide to make a quick stop at the nearest ATM to replenish the wallet: Imagine the following story. I was in urgent need of some money and stopped off at a bank on my... Sign in to see full entry.
