What Is That Bright Shiny Disk Over Ohio....UFO?
My God! You wouldn't believe! It's 3:54pm, and to the Southwest there's a huge "bright shiny disc". "Oh my God, Ohio is being invaded by aliens. What can I do? I feel helpless. Someone, please, if you are near a phone, call the Air Force, call all of them, Canadian, Russian, British, even the Mexican Air Force! They have one, don't they? God I'm ( Read more... ) -
What Sports Teams Need To Know....Just An Opinion...But If I Managed...You'd Do It!!!!!
Living near Cleveland, Ohio I get wrapped up in the Browns, Indians, and Cavs. They have been letting the fans down for years. It's always, "well we're getting a new coach, we have a new plan", or some other bullshit. Really? I mean frickin really? One day, look at your disappointed fans and say that crap to their face! Yep, before the game, go on ( Read more... ) -
Rising Above Our Trauma
I attend a Veteran's PTSD Group. Mine is not only from sexual trauma but being in the "shit" as we say. I was a Radarman 2nd Class [E-5] in the Navy. My ship did special operations. I was additionally trained in ASW [Anti Submarine Warfare] and EW [Electronic Warfare]. My ship and those skills took me into the "shit". My issued weapons were a ( Read more... ) -
Today's Special "Robusto Beef Soup"
I came up with this one to manage a dinner now and then when I just don't want to make a roast with proper British Gravy, smashed potatoes w/sour cream and butter, Veg, salad, and a partridge in a pear tree...or Fuzzy Roughy [yes, Orange Roughy w/peach schnapps], or other stuff I experiment with ( Read more... ) -
Froached Eggs
O.K., we have been going back and forth on eggs in the dietary world. The VA has me on a diet. I have a muscular build but my cholesterol is high. I had an appointment with their dietician recently. Towards the end, she asked me, "Are you going to ask me the egg question?" Well, turns out they are good. Besides protein, they provide Tryptophan an ( Read more... ) -
PTSD
PTSD is the belligerent twin we weren't born with and arrived uninvited. If you've read my NDE piece,then you know why I have it. Whatever way PTSD got into your life, mine being raped, remember this, "never be ashamed." Shame is "I am bad", where guilt is "I feel bad". For 20 years, I was in denial and shame held me there. Hang in there, seek ( Read more... ) -
What A Crow Nation Indian Chief Taught Me
It was a hot summer day as I left the city driving home. The day's stress usually melted away during my drive to the country, which was as close as 30-45 minutes down the main highway, and then, roads with beautiful vistas. The last few days, in fact weeks, had been stress filled. I was avid in the art of denial, but the wall, that builds, is ( Read more... ) -
Something Happened At A Garage Sale
I don't know what it is about garage sales but they're interesting, if nothing else. I like to collect old stuff. One never knows when that special something, perhaps something you didn't need until you saw it, grabs you and says, "take me home". There have been times when the magic wore off on many of my finds, and I donated them to Helping Hands ( Read more... ) -
Life's Hard Topics: War
Having come down from the trees, and taking to caves, prehistoric humans eventually made their first major discovery, fire. We can imagine that there were fires from volcanoes and lightning strikes in good number, but what of it? One, or few, had to approach it and discover its warmth and utility, and perhaps the obstacle they overcame was fear. ( Read more... ) -
The Way I Roll
Some earthstronauts roll loose with their karma. They might as well roll down their window and puke nonsense into the wind. Not talkin about hangin "10" off the surfboard of life here, that's cool, hip, and how you can roll "with" karma. No, these are the ones that might as well say, "excuse me, your talking while I'm interrupting you!" They're " ( Read more... )
