Tomorrow, Sept. 18th, I'll be having some long awaited surgery on my shoulder. Doc says (barring any complications, of course) that I'll be able to come home tomorrow afternoon. My right wing will be in a sling for a while (like I need *another* excuse to sit around watching horror movies, ha). So wish me luck and an easy recovery. I'll post back ( Read more... )

I've got to be among the worst journal keepers at LJ. Thing is, I think I've figured out the reason why: I really feel uncomfortable talking about myself and whatever's going on in my life; I prefer to keep things private (or at least semi-private). Not that I have secrets to hide...well, okay, a few, but nothing really outrageous or illegal. (Most ( Read more... )

I'm thankful for every day, waking up beside the guy I've been in love with since 1980, for sharing every part of my life with him, and for the two children we made together. I love you, Bob, more than words could ever say. Thank you for the love you give to me. Tom and Robyn, you kids are my world and it's a real honor to be your mom ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I updated, but at least it's been an interesting time between journal entries. Through the month of October, I continued to experience internet connection problems. I'm talking major headaches (connection speeds of 8K bps, getting bumped offline, line busy, etc.). Finally, it got to the point where I couldn't log onto the ( Read more... )

It's been a frustrating past couple of weeks, connection-wise. Verizon in Maine did some padding upgrades on their lines, which made it difficult to get online during that time. If I managed to make a connection, I couldn't keep it for more than a few seconds before getting bumped offline. It seems to be working better now; proof that I'm actually ( Read more... )

I've been reading up on browser/email viruses, trojans and worms...and being the paranoid person that I am (or at least try to be), I decided to make the switch from Internet Exploder and  Outlook Not-So-Good to Mozilla's Firefox and Thunderbird. Why? Because they're a bit more immune to security probs, bugs, and most all other nasties out there. ( Read more... )

Waiting for the June issue of Scared Naked Magazine? According to editor A.B., it's running a bit late but will be out soon. My contest winning tale, Morning After will be in the June issue (along with stories by Keith Gouveia and Diana Bennett), so don't miss out on reading one of the most depraved stories I've ever had the pleasure to write!

Cool news: The first print run of Mr. Crisper is now shipping! I'm predicting a jump in pork rind sales, lol. Weirdly enough, there is a real snack food company called Mr. Krispers (tm) from Terra Harvest Foods, Inc. in Illinois. (Thank you, Dave, for sending over their Sour Cream & Onion and Cheddar Salsa chips!) Check 'em out at: Mr. Krisper. I ( Read more... )
