DAYS OF OUR BACKYARD SQUIRRELS

In the previous episode Trubble, as squirrels often do, dashed headlong into traffic in pursuit of Mellie. Fortunately for Trubble, the human driving the SUV had spotted him. This wasn't the first confused squirrel she'd seen. She stepped on the brake as her children screamed. As soon as he jumped... Sign in to see full entry.

HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING YOUR THYROID MEDS WITH COFFEE?

A few days ago I read a health advisory on Facebook about Synthroid - a med prescribed for folks with the condition of low thyroid production. It seems for the past 30 years or so I've been taking it all wrong. It's supposed to be taken on an empty stomach, which I did. And no food for an hour,... Sign in to see full entry.

DAYS OF OUR BACKYARD SQUIRRELS

Itchy and White Ears bumped into each other that morning at the base of the maple tree in the Brick Street troup's main yard. They paused to challenge one another: then Itchy scrambled up the tree and ran south through the branches. He took a leap across to the neighbor's maple tree. White Ears...

TODAY: OBSERVATIONS

In case I hadn't mentioned it here on Blogit, I live across the street from a parochial school. It's been a bright spot in this Covid shutdown year to see these kids are still in school and out on the playground for recess, etc. The staff is out there with the disinfectant spray between times, I'm...

Talking to My Inner Child

Even now, all these years later, I hear you in your bed, curled up with the covers over your head. You thought you were being quiet, but I still hear your sobs and whimpers. Oh, I want to come back there and pull you into my lap and tell you it’s all gonna be fine in the morning. I want to tell you... Sign in to see full entry.

DUE PROCESS IS OVERDUE

Every woman I ever got to know shares a similar story about unwanted sexual advances from a guy. Sometimes it happens in school, lewd comments or a smack on the butt. Sometimes it's date rape or incest by a 'funny' uncle, or being groped and fondled behind the counter at a fast food joint. It's a... Sign in to see full entry.

FROM 2013 -

THE OLD MAN’S CRAP There was no answer when she pushed the doorbell – Sam could hear it sounding inside. Aunt Addie had left him six weeks ago in the snit to end all snits.

BLACK WIDOW

Jared Finlay first met his future mother-in-law at the wedding rehearsal. She wasn’t exactly cold to him, but he got the distinct impression Ariadne didn’t like him. She hugged her daughter, patted Alicia’s shoulder lovingly, but to Jared she extended a cool, rather listless hand. Until that very... Sign in to see full entry.
