The other day, while writing my blog post, I had a brilliant idea for a post. Now, I usually make notes right away. My home is littered with post-it notes, writing on the back of envelopes and the covers of magazines. And, there is a good reason.
Because I have no memory. So, the other day, [...]

I must add to this, before I have even begun. My, we are off to a good start. One more day being sleep deprived and I will be a raving lunatic. I need my sleep!
So, to add: This all started off last week, when the dog had to have surgery on a certain gland. I [...]

EMT has had a health problem lately and passed out twice yesterday. The second time was around 10:30pm and off we went to the emergency room, again.
He requested the ER in Franklin, Indiana; as an EMT with experience in these things. And, he was right. That had to be the most efficient ER I have [...]

I received a comment on my post Words you do not want to hear « Savanvleck’s Weblog and just felt like this deserved a full answer.
My Osteopenia was actually caused by a para-thyroid gland gone wild. It was robbing my body of calcium. The tests I went through for this were really interesting. You have not lived until [...]

It would always be nice to get the full story before you write a story. Perhaps I need to start treating this blog as I did my school newspaper days. The full stories are usually so much more interesting.
This is in answer to XUP on a blog I wrote a couple of days ago [...]

I try not to lecture on this blog but I just have to say this, so please bear with me.
Susan Boyle, the British singer on Britain’s Got Talent, steps out on stage and people roll their eyes and laugh. At what? At the nerve of a frumpy woman, with frizzy hair, to dare think she [...]

I am so excited this morning. I heard the President’s speech about the high speed train system. I swear, every time he steps up to the mike, I get more hopeful for the future of this country.
Images of the future look positively clean and space-age, as gleaming trains speed across the country. Indiana to Wyoming [...]

Summer is almost here. Tulips and daffodils are blooming and tomato starts, in the bay window, are two inches tall.
This means that I will soon be reminded that I have, yet again, overestimated my youth and energy. I am still weight lifting and doing aerobics, and still stuck at 11 pounds lost, but I do [...]
