The original title for this work was Phil’s Foibles, ‘Phil’ being the average guy, or man.  But since there is no individual being directly represented and after thinking about what I wanted to express I changed it to Foibles Mench.   The word foible originally meant a thin or weak spot near the tip of a board sword intended to break off when ( Read more... )

 
Just a quick update, while I take a brake from prepping for my 10th Burning Man.
I hope to leave Wednesday night, taking the whole rig, and Tonya too.
We will be camping at 7:30 and the Esplanade at the Astral Lounge. This is not in Luster village as I previously thought. It should be a great time, as I will be camping with some old friends and have ( Read more... )

 I finally got a new laptop, well new to me anyway.  So yay for me!!  My old one has all but died on me, so this comes right in time. 
Now I can move off my desk and free up some studio space.  I am also working on some pallet racking for a second floor.  This will double my floor space, in preparation for Burning Man I need it as I am storeing a ( Read more... )

I have been working as much as I can lately, crazy schedules, remote locations, odd occupations. I have some images from one of them; working to reappropriate used shipping containers to living environments. A group of Dot-Comers own a lovely valley in Mendocino north of Willits, and are building homes in an off grid, green manner as possible. I ( Read more... )

I recently got a friend request on Tribe.net, this is no big deal but I do not know this person and their profile is extremely vague. I declined it and felt that an explanation was appropriate.
I only friend people online who I have met in person.
I have this policy since there are so many alts and bots and shared avatars. I think that if this ( Read more... )

Went to my new Dr. here in Col. She is very good and took allot of time with me asking questions not already answered in my history. We looked at my blood under the microscope and spent about two hours face to face. Her diagnoses: Candia. Yes back to the beginning sort of, at least I know a bunch of stuff that I don’t have. But I have been down ( Read more... )

 
So I had a meeting with the super GI Dr. after reviewing my case and history he feels I have stress related to infant abandonment syndrome (I was premature and put in an incubator for the first week.) This apparently makes me more likely to be effected by stress. 
When my stomach issues started I was working for a county program called Re:Art, it ( Read more... )

 
I have not posted because not much has changed for me recently, and I would like to use this journal for something other than bitching, and bragging but it’s just to much effort to write about anything…
I cannot keep up right now; normal activities are getting to be to wearing. I am getting a better handle on my meds, and diet, but I still have ( Read more... )

After many Dr. appointment, tests, and research, they (My medical team) have decided that I need supplements for my Pancreas, the enzymes that help me possess fat are not being produced in significant amounts. They do not know why this is, nothing seems wrong with that organ except that some of the ducts are to small.
So they give me a prescription ( Read more... )

In the past few years I have been having issues with my digestive system, the Dr’s are unable to find out what is causing them and I have undergone allot of testing. Earlier this year I had a CT scan, during it they found stones in my Kidneys and a lump in my liver. (And nothing that would create my other issues)
So when I started peeing blood a ( Read more... )
