How many times does one get to die and come back thanks to the marvels of modern medicine? How many times on the community dime, be it Medicare or other health insurance? How good is life after so doing? How do we sustain it? When is over, over?... read entire post

When I was a little girl my family had a neighborhood doctor just down the street from our home. Dr. Piero Albi was a veteran of World War One, having served as a field surgeon for Italian forces. His office was humble, a small, sparsely furnished and... read entire post

12:08 a.m. Mountain Standard Time, July 14, 2009, a cute little black boy kitty of about 19 years sighed his last breath and passed away in my arms. He'd given up eating on the 12th, and his bowels stopped moving. He'd hidden away and was found lying i... read entire post

A week with cousins is always interesting. Cousins' spouses are interesting, too, but Shar's hubby Skip might take the cake. He (and she, reluctantly, I am certain) are on a gluten-and-dairy-free diet after a biofeedback specialist more or less bastard... read entire post

May 25 is my 47th. I hope hubby picks up a decadent cake. I adore cake! He knows that. It'd be nice. That and a drive up to a little mountain park with the dogs, maybe my poor lonely son, too. It'd be nice...
Used to be I'd wish for di... read entire post

Heckamighty! It's a gully-washing, frog-strangling, downpour outside right now in Arvada, Colorado! Wow. It's monsoon-like, but those usually come in July. An hour ago it was muggy and warm. Now, we've lightning flashing and thunder crashing and bu... read entire post

Airlines really need to make it more evident to travelers who book online that they need to check out the policies relevant to people who need oxygen before booking, especially those non-refundable flights they offer online! While I understand it's not... read entire post

The government has placed a lien on all our property. I am sick at heart and to my stomach. My guts feel like jelly. I can't stop shaking. I dont' know if I will survive. There's been so much over the past four years. I am still in utter shock that... read entire post

Hey, I got my maiden hair grass roots! Three of them! To set up a bronze glory blaze in front of the frondy pampas grass come summertime. I am slowly but surely ridding the yard of balkey, water-guzzling bluegrass meant to grow in places like Kentucky... read entire post

Yahooooo! My asparagus sets arrived on April 3rd and it was a lovely, sunny, warm day here for planting them. An added bonus was that the blizzard had melted off and left the soil soft enough to work with, especially after we added some Revive to it.... read entire post

Scroungy, ancient, graying, half-blind, cranky and still just a cutie pie. That's Badger Ottamus, the boy kitty I fell in love with when I met my husband. In those days he was a tough little black cat, brawny and known to hook a bird out of mid-air wit... read entire post

Mr. Chevious, my big boy cat, has nothing on me when it comes to yarn. He can't resist jumping and chewing on the length coming out of my crochet basket. I can't resist shopping the stuff! I could spend hours in any decent yarn section, and in a yarn... read entire post

S'alrighty then. I've come to grips, mostly, with the tax-induced bankruptcy pending. Yeppers. What else can I do? Curl up and give up? Not on your life! There is so much out there to see and do yet. Bad hubby gets to stay around. He knows he s... read entire post
