I've been independent for how many years lurking in the shadows avoiding blows and running to be safe and feel secure looking for someone to hold my hand feeling like crap with the self esteem of a slug (who knows, they may be the self esteem powerhouses that glide on their own slime. Actually, lets…
I received the call I was waiting for from the Neurology Department. It should have been what I expected. She said, the hospital has had "problems in the past" placing the leads in specific places on a patient with dreadlocks therefore I was asked to completely untwist my entire head of hair to be measured…
https://sabiscuit.wordpress.com and I were having an early morning conversation and I threatened to write this: I am lactose intolerant Intolerant means I do not have the enzyme in my gut to digest all raw dairy items Let us remember the ill fated food pyramid from the 1970's. It really confused the folks who refuse to…
"Patients with dreadlocks can't have EEG's" said central scheduling. WTF Try again without seeing my head.

Not of a bird, that would be a bat at this hour but the sound of my greenhouse blowing with these gale force winds off the lake. Shit!
I try not to be mean and I think Girlie understands that I'm trying to push her use of consonants. I had her ask using mimicry, after she finished breakfast this morning: "Mommie- mah-may and- an Daddy- dah-day I'm- Ahm done- Duhn eating- Eaten so- o could- cood you- yu let-leh me-MEEEEEEEE out-OWWWWWWWT of-uff the-thuh…
Girlie has become quite the singer. The words are shuffle stumbled, but the tune is becoming evident. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star was heard one night along with Itsy Bitsy Spider, which has me hoping she doesn't catch any more spiders and hand them to me. Her joy of mimicry has me laughing out loud when…
http://www.platosgroove.com/?p=2078 Dear Plato, A little slow here, but I meant to get back to your post. When I was in art school, I had to research the history of American Santa, French Pere Noel, English Father Christmas, German der Weihnachtsmann, Netherlands' SinterKlaas etc… and remember him being an agent of social control. Not an AGENT…
