Remember The Balrog

Valerie's been and gone. Both computers are working fine, and I wish now that we'd done all of that sooner. It's hard to remember sometimes what I've covered in here. I'm don't feel any differently about the radioactive iodine procedure than I did when I cancelled it Wednesday morning. But I did fin...

The Iodine-131 didn't happen. I set up everything for Duane. One of my neighbors was going with us, and I fell asleep around 11 PM. I wake up about 10 after 2 with this over-whelming sense of dread, and I can't shake it. I called the Crisis-Line, talked to one of them for over an hour. Got the chapl...

goodblacknews: Public Service Announcement via @the.root #fingersupdontcall A couple years ago, my mother (who is white) was watching from her window and saw a strange young black man in her driveway. He was crouching down beside her car as if hiding behind it. She didn’t call the police. She just ...

Good news - Computer is back home with Linux OS gone and Windows 10 installed! :D Bad news - Computer needed hooked up to function. :( Good - I hooked up computer, by pretending it was a hyper-alimentation device used to deliver nutritional components to cancer patients. It didn't know it wasn't, a...

Thyroid. It is one, of if not thee , weirdest looking organ in the human body - sort of like Spongebob on a bender. Anyway, like the rest of the endocrine system, you definitely want it behaving, or at least have the best possible solution when it isn't. This time last week, we knew nothing except t...

I'm finally content with the Devotions program. Ultimately, I didn't like the wiki section on Tahirih and ditched it in favor of what I've known of her for over fifty years, and two paragraphs from Baha'i.org. I'm glad I started on it when I did :) ; Sunday's the day. Michael won't be coming. Renee'...

Wow, lady! :hug: I agree that you don't realize just how much you do until you have to show somebody else :) ! Both Allegra and you are lucky to have been with the same companies. I guess I might still have been at Fairview General, birthin' babies :D, if I hadn't met Duane. That would have put me a...

I was really freaked out the other day when I only saw one eaglet. It turned out that Dad had covered up the one baby with grasses, and it could have been to cool it down, or warm it up, or protect it from the sun (the other kid was in the shade at the time.) Potus, all the seasons I've watched, bri...

I feel the same as I did when I was 59. I don't feel any different. :) I don't really either, which is not was I was expecting. But, I think younger than I did, when I was young. I felt so old and tired in my teens - it was a very stormy adolescence. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But if I could be ...

Congratulations on your Work Anniversary and 60th Birthday, Allegra :D ! You've been working all my married life, lady, and then some :lol: ! I know it's early days, but how do you like being 60? I'll turn 64 in October, and it doesn't seem like it - until my arthritis kicks up or I look in the mirr...
