  1. In my story "I Wish I Could Back Up," https://www.gayauthors.org/story/dynoreads/iwishicouldbackup . I explore the odd friendship between a lonely man who lost his family and a toddler fascinated by his job. Only my beta knew that a couple of the unnamed child's antics were based on my son. Particularly the scene of the mother, still wet from a shower, chasing a diaper clad toddler down the street - that incident prompted a new lock on the door so he couldn't open it. My son was fascinated by the garbage trucks mechanical arms, and we would follow it around the neighborhood. The regular driver would move to the next house, wait for us to move forward and my son to crouch down to watch, then he'd empty the can. A long walk, about a mile, and an hours free entertainment. Our only other interaction was a wave when he left our neighborhood to continue his route. So in a way, my story was a thank you to an unknown man that p layed a huge role in my son's early life. Here are some similar stories of children and sanitation workers who form relationships without ever speaking: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/24/quincy-kroner-garbage-men_n_6931922.html https://www.autismspeaks.org/news/news-item/tune-greyson-and-garbage-man
  2. The last two years have been rough and incredibly painful for my extended family. I dread what bad news January brings, but hope for a better year. After all I should graduate this year.
  3. Christmas card happy family / happy Christmas pictures are posed. Holidays are meant to be together with family, not about the perfect dinner, gift or whatever it's become. As for being sick, I spent my son's first birthday entertaining him in the bathroom. I had a really bad case of stomache flu and didn't want to go far from the facilities. I also was so dizzy I couldn't walk. We raced cars around the tub, I hid toys under wash clothes for him to find. I was sick as a dog, and only remember the fun he had, and all the giggles, in the oddest place. BTW I envy the toolkit, it's been on my list for years and I still haven't gotten it.
  4. The German Shepard's I've met have all had a curve to the tail. Even the ones imported. I used to watch Gracie Bear chase her tail. She'd see it out of the corner of her eye and attack. What was even more hilarious was when she'd catch it. She never quite figured out it was her own tail.

  8. A series of play scripts for information age security public service announcements
  9. This seems simple, but it isn't. The answer is it depends on the couple and the relationship.
  10. We have a fake tree. Unfortunately I'm allergic to conifers, particularly pine wood and cedar branches. Christmas with bronchitis is not fun. When my son was small, we made a set of ornaments each year, something small and easy for kids, usually from salt dough. We'd keep the best best two and toss the rest. He lost interest around third grade.

    Small Rant

    An old saying "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime." That is the idea behind bringing women and children out of poverty. is that by changing the hidden backbone of society, we change society. However, I do believe that "us versus them" needs to stop. WE are all human.
  12. You only have to look at your photographs to see the beauty and worth in your life. Your value isn't in how others see you, but in how you see you. It seems that you're hurting right now. I just wanted to know that I enjoy the pictures you post a lot, even if I don't leave a lot of comments.
  13. Although I'm in a large metroplex, I'm far enough out that you have to reserve the cab the day before and it's a minimum $20 for a ride. With the county pulling out of the rural bus service due to management embezzlement, Uber is the only other choice if you aren't on government assistance. (Those with medicaid/medicare can get medical rides.)
  14. Happy Birthday Bill!
  15. Happy Birthday Nostic. May this chapter of your life bring you enough laughter to keep you happy, enough obstacles to challenge you and have the two of you grow together, and lots of joy.
  16. *hugs* Female issues are scary. Mostly because older generations didn't talk about them so we have no idea, and when they did it's wrong. Unfortunately it's a lot of wait and see, but I've come to realize that waiting is better than the alternative of surgery now. I hope it works well for you.
  17. Thanks for reading. I was playing with a non-living character, the mountain, which survived many life times. I'm glad I could tell it's stories.
  18. This one has me blushing, but hubby's heart doctor says if he can walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breathe or dizzy he's ok to have sex.
  19. Hubby wanted to see his parents for father's day. We took Blitz since we would be gone too long for him to home alone. On the way back my son insisted on holding the puppy. About an hour away from home he suddenly hands me the puppy. I look down and realized that Blitz had peed on my son's crotch.
  20. I'm sorry that you got bit. Hopefully the pain will be temporary.
  21. The mouth guards I've bought for my boy state that they protect against chipping, not loose teeth. The single tooth may be more a matter of time than pride. It takes two dentist visits to get a crown, as it takes time to make the crown. It may be the same with a replacement tooth. Professional teams are on the road a lot, so they may have to wait until the season ends to be able to see the dentist twice? Also, Pittsburgh Pirates are the baseball team. The hockey team are the Penguins.
  22. I love my Asus Eeebook. Blazing fast start up. It's not a gaming computer by any means, but it's good for web browsing, word processing, and runs my virtual labs as well as the desktops. It only has a 32G SSD, no other hard drive. There is a micro SDHC slot which I have a 16G card in for storage. My only complaint is the size and location of the track pad, makes it easy to accidentally click on another window. I have a wireless USB mouse I use instead of the track pad.
  23. Happpy Birthday
