About Last Night... Being Shot... But Ending with A Joke

Good morning. It was a wild and crazy night here in Madison. About 9:15, we began to hear lots and lots of sirens on the 'far side' of town (we live on the extreme east side of town, and the sirens were going to the west side of town). This morning, I read that a man with known emotional issues... Sign in to see full entry.

May I Have This Dance? This is How Memories Are Made & A Joke!

Good morning. We had a nice night out last night. The place always has good food, and when they open the dance floor, we are almost always the first ones out there. I think we got there about 7:15, and we were home by 11. If I remember right, the whole night cost us about $65, including gas. The... Sign in to see full entry.

A Fire? Yep - But Not Serious

Well, it's been a wild and crazy morning already. In between the time I made the rest of my posts, I thought I could smell smoke. I went to the front door and saw a small curl of smoke coming from the church across the street. I called 911 and told the dispatcher what I had observed. Moments later,...

A Picture And A Good Bye

Good morning. I was a lot more stunned by the way Buster died yesterday than I ever thought I could be. I guess it was just how quickly it happened. He laid his head on the blanket (not the one below, but one like it), closed his eyes, and died. I had been a paramedic and ER nurse too long not to... Sign in to see full entry.

Sing Me A Sad Song

Good morning. It hasn't been a 'good' morning for us today. Buster, our big black German Shepard/Black Lab mix, passed away just minutes ago. Buster was an 'old man' by anyone's book at the age of twelve. He was a monstrously huge dog. His back was at mid-thigh on me, and the last time he saw the... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad Publishers Are Everywhere - Here's An Honest One

Good morning! It's looking like another warm day, but hey... this is August! Instead of my usual drivel, I'd like to show you an email I got from a 'company' trying to solicit me. This is totally fake. Your first clue should be the email address she gives. A real company has a real company email.... Sign in to see full entry.

A Quick Note and a Note for "Just The Two of Us"

Good morning. It looks like the horrific heat is over. It will still get hot, but the days of 100+ degree days are over for now. This will allow me to get back on schedule... I hope! I have another check-up, so this will be short. I'm fine, but doctors can't afford to eat if they don't get you back... Sign in to see full entry.

And We'll Try It Again

Apparently, the power company has a problem somewhere nearby. We had power, and then we didn't. I was in the middle of making this post, and SNAP... the power went out. About ten minutes later, it was on again, so I came back here and had about 200 words, and SNAP... no power. About 45 minutes... Sign in to see full entry.

Me, Today... Part Two An Apology, A Shout Out, & A Joke?

I sat down to do this 45 minutes ago, and I'm just down getting to type. Over on FB, I'm getting a lot of birthday wishes (including one from Annie!) I see many people never acknowledge the words, and I don't want to be like that, so I've been dropping 'Thank you!' I'm trying to get to them all. By... Sign in to see full entry.

They're Keeping Me Busy! (& a Joke1)

Good afternoon. I meant to get in here much earlier, but between the stuff I did get posted and this entry, we had several people stop by. It's also my 72nd birthday, and that's kept me busy. It continues to be hot and muggy, so we go out in the morning and later evening, and I do some writing... Sign in to see full entry.
