What Is Happening??
This Tuesday, I finally go in for a knee replacement surgery!! This has been several years in coming and the knee has gotten progressively worse over the last ten years or so. When I was living on my own in Alaska it would have been difficult and expensive for the care and I would need...

An Interesting Take On Life
Friday, January 31st was my brother Doug’s birthday. He would have been 62 had an aggressive cancer not taken him from me, my parents and especially his wife and daughter. I took my parents out to dinner at a place we know Doug would have loved and had a great remembrance.
Since, and as tends...

This was deep and meaningful. It reflects so much tragedy that it is heartbreaking. It makes me even more grateful to know you and to consider you my friend. Much love to you, and thank you.

We don't know each other, but I'm glad I read this. It hit home on many levels.

What Is This?
The ever-curious @dicentra posted a blog wherein she queried many of us on why we are here at Suicide Girls, asking us to answer them all in a blog, and as you are now (presumably) reading this, I have done so, and happily. As with any who travel the Path of...

That was an excellent blog/answer and I can see why you'd be gun shy for relationships after all that. And it's funny, but I did a post about that exact same Bryan Adams song, at one point. I believe about a year and half ago. Great minds!
samihain:
Great and thorough answers. I'm really sorry to hear you were cheated on. 😔

I really have never seen the New Year as a ‘new beginning, at least since I lost my Uncle at the beginning of the year when I was 19. It’s like getting drunk to ‘forget’ only for the ‘memory’ to still be there after you’re done feeling like you should have died from the hangover. With

This is an excellent and inspirational post. I hope the surgery goes well, and if you happen to drive through Alberta from Alaska, I hope we can go for lunch.

Design For Life, what a song 👌 perfect to accompany your blog - it was good reading your thoughts and perspective - I hope it all goes as much to plan as we can ever expect things to. Great to see another novelist on here - all the best with that ✍️ maybe one day I’ll join your ranks…

7. What is one of your favorite simple meals from your childhood that you still love today?
This is and exceedingly easy one to answer, as this was a meal from my youth that Mom used to make, one that I forgot about for some 20 years and after making...

My mom made something very similar. There is something about hearty and filling comfort food that just settles a person. I love it!

6. Tell us a joke that cracks you up, or share a meme that always makes you laugh.

As an inveterate punster, I will have to say the reaction(s) I get from my favorite pairing of them are what makes them so funny! That being written, here they are:

Not entirely sure who this questionnaire comes from, but saw it posted a few times, so copied, pasted and took out other answers, QED. As I am in a writing mood, I figured, what the heck, why not?
1. How did you spend your Thanksgiving?
I suppose the more or less traditional way: began cooking first thing in...

Question #5. A book or book series that you love.

3. One of your comfort movies/series that you have seen more than 3 times. (Once again, with thanks to @fredhincanada)
This is particularly an easy pick, especially at this time of year. The movie is Stanley Kramer s ‘It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’. This is a farcical and slap-stick...

That would certainly be an interesting piece to have. Though I feel like it would start a need to find more. I'd end up with a map room...
