Hi gang... OMG...If I'm going to fall apart, I wish I'd just hurry up and be done with it! My hips are out once more, and now my left knee is playing me up as well! How much more am I supposed to put up with? For the past two days, I've barely been able to walk with wanting to fall over. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, God... I'm so tired! I haven't slept well for days, and it's finally catching up with me. The heat, the pain...everything is conspiring against me. I have a feeling that I'm about to go through another long-winded exhaustion phase, and I'm not looking forward to it. My energy level is already... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, it's happening again. This is only my second post of the day, and I have a feeling it's not going to be a very exciting one. Sorry about this, folks. Mum was supposed to come for coffee today, but decided to wait until Monday. That's okay...for some reason I'm not really in the mood for... Sign in to see full entry.

I sit here sad and heart broken...crying...inside and out. Randy Pausch, the computer science professor who inspired his students and millions of others with his "Last Lecture" has died at 47 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. I never met Mr. Pausch personally, but I was truly blessed and... Sign in to see full entry.

The house is overwhelmingly beautiful. Far more so than one could ever imagine possible from looking at the outside. Chella marvels at the countless photographs adorning the walls and mantle of his huge fireplace. There are other eye pleasing decorations as well. Decorative jars and clay pots from...

And so a miracle has been granted me. Just out of sheer hope, I went looking in the online white pages service to see if there was a possibility of finding a telephone number for my son. We haven't spoken in such a long time. As I feared, his telephone number is unlisted...but I have the utmost... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I'm pleased that some of you have been enjoying Ben's story, and I'm thankful and grateful and truly blessed by the comments I've received for it...but... I'm not getting as much response for it as I would have liked. I understand that people are busy, and I understand this...truly I do!... Sign in to see full entry.

The other day, Becky and I were having our usual chat on the phone when she mentioned that she'd really wanted an iced coffee from DUNKIN' DONUTS, but that she had to wait until the following day because Walter didn't have the money to buy it for her. "Hey," I asked, "have you tried the coconut... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've just been to amazon and I found three Elvis singles I really want. I put them in my cart, but I'll have to wait until next weekend to actually check them out because the total came to just two pennies over twenty dollars. I know this may not seem like a big deal to people, but when you... Sign in to see full entry.

I have a Scottish friend (not Uncle Ben) who does the most incredible impersonation of Elvis Presley you'll ever hear. He has a minimally thick Scottish accent-which I love of course-but when he speaks or sings like Elvis, there's not a trace to be heard. It's absolutely hysterical to listen to him...

Most of you who read me on a regular basis know that I love watching THE AMAZING RACE. There are very few reality tv shows I will watch. I get quite enough of my own daily reality, thank you very much! Anyway, those who read me regularly may also recall that some time ago, I posted about having a... Sign in to see full entry.

My hips are STILL burning. I thought it would have stopped...at least temporarily...it normally eases up by now, but not this time. Poor Becky rang me up earlier this afternoon. For her own safety, she's decided to start using a walking frame. She hates the thought of it, and frankly so do I. Still,... Sign in to see full entry.

The next morning brings a cold, heavy rainfall. Ben stares out the large window in their sitting room across the street. Why didn’t she show up for dinner last night? Was she angry with him for suggesting she go to hospital? Was she simply too embarrassed by what happened yesterday? For some... Sign in to see full entry.

I felt his arms around me again last night. I know it sounds crazy, but I keep feeling the way I used to feel when he'd hold me so that I could lay my head against his chest. The minute I found his heart, I'd fall asleep. A couple of times he'd have to wake me and send me off to bed because he was... Sign in to see full entry.

Hellooo? Is anyone out there? I'm waiting!... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning gang... Actually, the title for this post isn't totally appropriate, but at present it's the best one I can come up with. I'm just fighting the urge to scream in agony. Screaming will only intensify the pain, so just best to fight it as silently as possible. My hips are more painful... Sign in to see full entry.

Hamish, who is just coming up the pathway, hears Ben’s shouting and runs to his aid. He finds Ben kneeling over a young woman who’s propped up against his knee. She’s apologizing profusely, he’s trying to examine her. “It’s all right lass. Just keep for a minute. Have you hurt yourself?” He’s calm... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just seen the most amazing video online! Before I go any further however, I would like to say that NO ONE SHOULD EVER TAKE A WILD ANIMAL INTO THEIR HOME INTENDING TO MAKE A PET OUT OF IT! It seems that there were these two gentlemen in London who many years ago found a lion cub for sale at the... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just read online that Estelle Getty, who portrayed Sophia Patrillo on THE GOLDEN GIRLS passed away earlier today after a long battle with advanced Dementia. She was 84 years old. I'm thankful that this lovely lady's suffering is over now. Dementia is a cruel and often painful disease. I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, my hell! It's not my back this time-although that hurts as well-it's my hips! The Gestapo seems to be gaining ever more ground with me these days, and I fear yet another visit to John may be in order.
