Rambling Stories

  • I'm Sorry

    Monday, July 14, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I've made a decision.  I'm giving up the other website.  The website was an offshoot of a secondary group here and while I've enjoyed going there, I've realized I've neglected my friends here.  It is here that I gain support, love, and information.  It is here that I have many friends.  But, I haven't been as involved as I should have.  I...

  • The Past

    Tuesday, July 15, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I'm tending to live in the past these days. I've been going to YouTube and listening to the old music,,,Gerry and the Pacemakers, Peter & Gordon, Chad & Jeremy, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Julie London, Pattie Page, The Beatles, Buddy Holly, and a bunch more,. Back in the days of my childhood in the 50s and 60s.  I was lucky to grow up in the 50's.  In those day...

  • On the Radio

    Wednesday, August 13, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Got a bit of a surprise last night.  I listen to the Jerry Doyle show on the radio when I get up and get ready to go to work.  Jerry wasn't on and another guy was substituting.  My surprise was who it was,,,Earnest Istook.  That name may not mean anything to you unless you live in Oklahoma or are a heavy news watcher.  He was a U.S. Representative from the OK sta...

  • I was just sort of browsing the groups that have the same conditions that I have and reading how they are handling them and the one posting is from a woman who is praying that she gets here SSID because she is in the verge of losing her home.  When you think things are so bad for you then you find someone else who is worse off.  I read one yesterday about a woman who lost her 2 yea...

  • I'm watching a boring movie!!!!

    Saturday, October 11, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I'm watching what I call a boring movie.  I'm about ready to actually watch TV.  I hate watching that right now because there are too many political ads, etc.  The weather tomorrow is suppossed to be like it was the last two days.  I am staying home and watching the birds feed outside and am going to do some dusting.  Tangie has to be taken care of too.  I ha...

  • At Rest

    Monday, October 13, 2008 | A Rambling story

    My Aunt Bernice is at rest.  It was strange going out to the cemetery Where my parents are buried and I will be.  There is a cement block with "Baby Son" on it next to my parents' graves.  My big brother is buried there.  He died shortly after birth and was never given a name.  If he had lived, I wouldn't be here.  It's strange to say that, but ...

  • I'm finding it harder to sleep or find any interest in it.

    Saturday, October 18, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I read that one of the by-products of Addison's is the fact that you don't sleep very well.  Same for Fybro.  I guess that I must be living backwards.  I love the quiet at night and also the fact that I can do more at night.  But I don't get tired or anything.  Right now I'm not tired.  When I do fall to sleep then I sleep like someone whom hasn't...

  • This one's for Cathy - part of it anyway!!

    Friday, October 24, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Well now that Cathy is getting better I have to write something in here and I'm hoping that she reads.  Remember the Guy that I told you about that was going to have the drug party and was trying to drink enough that night so that it would kill him?  He was on here remember?  I took him off as a friend and today when I got the activity for DS I read an entry by his boyfrie...

  • Bits & Pieces

    Friday, October 31, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Well, Halloween's coming up.  I'm gonna try to miss it.  It's the first time I've been off for Halloween and not sleeping.  Gonna turn the porch light off and all but one light in the house.  I'll watch the Stars play hockey on TV with just a small red light on.  Just don't want the hassel of having to put Foxy in the bedroom every time somebody co...

  • Today I had an appointment at  Career Link with my OVR rep.  I saw the handicapped man that works there and got a new electric wheelchair.  His old one was so worn when I talked to hm the last time and he told me that he was getting another one.  He had to get a Jazzy because if he would have gotten the other choice that he had he would have had to pay 30% of the cost which wo...
