Now for something completely different.
I was walking toward the bus stop a few days ago, knowing that I needed to hurry. I passed a convenience store that was on the way. I stopped short as I saw a good looking woman with a short skirt and nice legs standing on line.
I stopped and stared at this woman as if I was in a...

Went to the dentist today. I'll need one filling and probably an extraction. Compared to the other crap I'm dealing with, going to the dentist is almost a pleasure.
A close friend has been suggeating that I write more abut my family. I'm in the mood to do a litle of that today, So here are two stories that come to mind.

I just joined a very interesting program. This woman I know runs group that gets people like me, meaning men and women who are dealing with loneliness and isolation for various reasons, together. There are weekly get-togethers, where various issues are discussed and group outings are planned.
The outings that aren't free are paid for by the organization that sponsors the program. We are also...

The foot feels OK. I won't know if I need physical therapy until the cast comes off. I saw the doctor today and he said that would be about 3 weeks from now.
I survived the weekend. There was no way that could have happened without all of you. I owe you so much. I wish things were different, but wishing won't make it so.
Special thanks to those of you who reached out to me with their PMs. You afforded me the much needed opportunity to communicate the kind of personal thoughts and feelings that would have...

Great! What has made you feel good lately?
dryad:
thanks, he did.
I was feeling awful most of the day today. I was anticipating a long, lonely weekend, again. I needed to reach out to someone very badly. Yet, I didn't want to be a burden to people, especially feeling that most everyone had holiday plans that they were looking forward to.
I knew my daughters were both going to be busy with friends and family, so...

All your friends here have said it for me. You're in my thoughts, and I am wishing for far better times for you. Hang strong and tough--I know it isn't easy.

I know what I miss most about Annette. It's the feeling that I had when she hugged me. I'd give anything to hold her in my arms just one more time.
I feel so alone.

It seems hard to believe, but it looks like we may finally have some sun this weekend. I hope that you have a good one...
As I mentioned in my last blog, my daughter, Ellen, was going to be in New York for a wedding this past weekend, and was going to be with me and her sister, Heather, for Father's Day.
I originally thought the wedding was Saturday. I found out last Thursday that the wedding was actually on Sunday, Father's Day. Original plans had to be scrapped. The...

I totally agree with you that MJ parents should have been at least asked a few questions.
I lived in the Bronx until I was 5. So from 1970 to 1975 lived someplace called "The Surry," I think. It may have been on Tilden Street. Were we there at the same time and how far were we from each othet? I bet you met me when I was little!

My family is on their way home to North Carolina. I spent lots of time with my grandkids, which was really nice. They've both gotten so big since the last time I saw them in person. It sure beats the webcam by about a thousand percent.
My daughter, Ellen, will be back here next weekend. She's attending the wedding of one of her oldest friends...

You're not leaving, are you? Sorry I haven't been around much; it's been a very long month, in more ways than one....

My weekend was wet but wonderful. I hope that you had a great one as well.
I want to recognize the wonderful people that I've met and gotten to know here. I'll try to limit my comments to one line and will go in alphabetical order. This format will apply, with the exception of one person for whom I'll save my comments for the end. Most of you will understand why I'm making this exception when you get to the end...

It's one thing when you are discussing or trying to work out a real issue with a good friend. What I was really trying to address is when someone has some negative agenda in approaching you and starting a dialogue about a mutual friend.
Talking about a real problem with a good friend (even if it involves a mutual friend) is fine just not that petty, manipulative stuff. I would have gone on but the blog was long enough.

I've got alot to look forward to in June. My daughter Ellen, her husband, and my grandkids are coming to New York for five days on June 11th for a friend's wedding. I haven't seen them in person for too long. I can't wait to play with my grandchildren as well as spend time with everyone, including my younger daughter Heather all at the same...

Especially if it has anything to do with my son. I am the quintessential protective father.

wiped the comment, now to start again.
Considering that Ageism; is the last form of Socially Acceptable
discrimination. There are times that it is hard to make that Worm
Shut-up.
Knowing that I'm going to be banging my head against a wall,
makes doing so tolerable and the relief when finished, sweeter.

I want to thank everyone who responded so wonderfully to my last blog. I kept it up longer than any other I've ever posted. It was very emotional for me to write. I was glad that I could put a positive take on something that has affected me so terribly. I'm grateful that I was able to talk about Annette in a celebratory manner instead...

Enjoy your week end.

Yeah, my sister-in-law's boss is opening a brewery, so I can be a waitress there. Hopefully it's better money than what I'm doing now.
Mother's day is this coming Sunday. Thanks to the inspiration I've drawn from my friend Sherrillee, I've decided to post the following.
While the passing of my mom in 2003 at the ripe old age of 91was sad, I'm comforted that she lived a long and full life. What I wanted to use this occasion for is to pay tribute to another mom that...

What is your livejournal page?? I can go and add you if need be

What a lovely tribute of Annette - Now that's exactly what I was talking about!
You are a lucky man to hav expereinced that kind of relationship. But that doesn't mean that you won't find another equally as satisfying in a different way.
There's hope for you yet!
Keep the faith!

I do have to say I don't like the stereotype that the uninformed public has about SGs. For instance, mildots posted a video from CSI in my blog comments, and the girls are all freaky at a Carrie-style prom and then one ends up dead because of her "lifestyle" (read: as an SG). I'm not saying that's not possible, but I am saying that it's an unfair generalization.
