Bobbie or Donna, I have your photos!

 
This cuties name is Donna and the date is 10-31-58 and she is a mystery to me, as I have some of her photos and would love to return them to someone who might have a personal connection with them.
If I had “life” to do over again, one of my choices would have been to [...]

The side affect of eating better!

I am convinced that everything is addicting:  sugar, fat, caffeine, frosting.  It is all addictive.

The new love in my life

If you have seen ‘Julie & Julia,’ then you will know what I am talking about.  If you have not seen it, then think of Meg Ryan, in the restaurant, in ‘When Harry Met Sally – Official Site – Now on DVD.’  Same thing!!

Changes with Disability

When you have been married for twenty years to someone who has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), I rather think it is NOT like a normal marriage.

I have been up [...]

Okay, I rarely, if ever post this time of night, but I am doing one of the hardest things I do in life. I have to stay up all night.

All about the farm boys

Sunday could be family day. I’m sure it is in many homes but we have two teens left at home and they are working now, so Sunday is “let’s go do something day” and they don’t necessarily want us, old folk, tagging along.
 
EMT graduated this year, after four years on the Honor Roll.  It was [...]

Using credit cards to pay medical bills?

Is anyone else bothered by the advertisements, by credit card companies (of course), to tell you what a great deal you can get using your credit card to pay your hospital/medical bills?
Get Real!!!!
I am here to tell you, do not do that.   I was without insurance for years and the thing you do is call [...]
