I was just thinking

I know I know it is something I don't do very often, but I was out and about late a few days ago. I had to go see my dentist at ten at night. My jaw had puffed up like I had been in a fist fight. What happened was a root canal I had a few weeks ago went bad. It was infected. So the Dentist put me on... Sign in to see full entry.

Dad's April Fool

I know this is a day or more late but I was just thinking about some of the April's fool jokes that my dad told me about and one or two that he pulled on me. Every year he would tell us about the time he scared a little old shopkeeper with a rubber snake. She was an older lady that all the kids... Sign in to see full entry.

Hospitals and Health---

They could Care Less The state of health care in this country is crazy. The Dr.'s don't listen, they don't care and in short they DO very little healing... It seems there is a different Dr. for each part of your body. Then they don't talk to each other or even read records. Every Dr. Nurse and and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Miracle

My mom fell about a week ago. She got up and seemed all right until today. Her left hip started hurting so bad it brought tears to her eyes. She could hardly walk. I was trying to figure should I take her in my car to the emergency room to have it checked out or to call 911. Just then our phone rang... Sign in to see full entry.

When Did I Become The Parent? *

I became the Parent. When Dad had a TIA (that's a kind of a mini stroke) I came home to help out. It was kind of strange because Mom had always been the sickly one in the family. So, slowly I took over the cooking, cleaning and making sure both parents took their pills and whatnot....Never trust a... Sign in to see full entry.

Why can't people just

Mind Their Manners When I was little, and sometimes even today, I am reminded to "mind my manners and not act like a cretin." I'd really like to mind my "manor" but since I don't have one, if you don't count the storage shed, I will just stick to manners. - Everybody needs to mind their manners a...

For Anthoney1 Wiley & Moondawg

Full Moon - No, I'm not talking about what I saw in the window of the bus I got stuck behind on the freeway the other day. I knew there was more than one reason I didn't like that freeway. This piece is about the full moon up in the sky. It supposedly makes people act loony...Which could explain... Sign in to see full entry.

Grandma's Gun Control

Since everyone has the right to have a gun, I think that each person should control their own gun and not kill or hurt anybody with it. I also think guns should come with an instruction book and perhaps a warning label that says, "Do not point and fire this at anyone as you could hurt them all the... Sign in to see full entry.

That's life,

Insurance - - So far today I have had three telephone calls from people who want to sell me life insurance. I wonder, do they know something I don't know? Am I on someone's hit list? The last lady wanted to sell me one million dollars death and dismemberment (yuck) insurance. - Come to think of it,... Sign in to see full entry.
