An Album I never heard talked much about In 1988 I heard a poignant interview on BBC Radio 1's Rock Show with Alan Freeman speaking to Brian Wilson. After some time a new album had been released and although I rarely bought things I heard on the radio, this was so striking along with the... (...)
A connection between mathematical and literary terms. In old-fashioned high school math classes "back in the day", we learned about the conic sections, the ellipse, the parabola, and the hyperbola, in a very "classical" way. ( A circle is a special case of an ellipse.) One way to distinguish among the... (...)
I think I'm just going to end it.My hairloss is getting really bad and then seeing happy couples around me today and old classmates announcing new babies.... it's too much. It's too hard on my heart and I can't do it anymore.
People like meI like looking at fashion but fashion wasn't made for bodies like mine. I like looking at hairstyles but my hair is so thin and getting worse those styles aren't meant for hair as bad as mine. I like the idea of getting married someday but love... (...)
Meeting with the ladies today.I'm feeling a little anxious about meeting with some new ladies from church. I'm about as socially awkward as they come. I think I'll just keep quiet and listen 🤷🏻đź¤
The Earring That Almost Blew My CoverI had just started a new job in a city I barely knew. My place was barely furnished just a mattress on the floor, a small table, and a couple of chairs. One Friday night, I met a woman at a local bar. We hit it off, and she came back to my apartment.... (...)
Thunder stormsThunder storms rolling though means I gained 30 extra pounds of a scared 6 year old that won't let me put him down.
Well tonight was funWe had a good evening. Dinner was good. We up on some Disney movies and we were getting ready to make s'mores. Then it happened. Thunder storms. My tiny tornado is so afraid of them. He jumped in my arms and I couldn't put him down the rest of... (...)
A very long nightStorms all night. My phone went off 3 times with weather warnings which made him more afraid. He was so scared all night. He barely slept. I didn't sleep at all. I'm taking the day off to be with him. I've never seen him this bad over... (...)
Date nightSomething that hasn't happened in months is happening on Saturday, actually going on a date. She's a couple of years older than I am, but I hope it's the start of something
I wish more people understand her strugglesShe’s not a “picky eater.” She has food sensory issues. It’s not about being dramatic. It’s not about being spoiled. It’s not about “just take one bite.” It’s about panic. It’s about texture overload. It’s about smells, colors, consistencies that... (...)
Thought i was poisonedFalse Alarm! No one is trying to end me! I drank from a bottle of water. It was sooo disgusting it tasted like cleaning products. So i was thinking what if someone was trying to poison me🤔 there's a few people on the suspect list. Then it dawned on... (...)
It ain't half badWell it's day 4 of being unemployed. The shock has finally worn off, and I must say ....I'm not totally hating it..... yet. I did have an opportunity present itself earlier in the week. So just for fun I applied yesterday. It's not WFH but I knew... (...)
I dreamt about my mother...I must be sick... :D :D :DI actually AM sick. Went to the doctor today, and I have pretty bad gastroenteritis from food poisoning, and it's caused my THREE ulcers to flare up. Meds won't be ready tonight, either. I got home from the doctor's appointment and it's a good thing... (...)
New here, introductionLate in doing this, I guess... I'm Lina, 27 and from the US. I used to be athlete (played softball & soccer). When I was 19, was in an auto accident and I'm a C5 quadriplegic. Pretty much in an instant my independence was gone. I can breath on my... (...)
I go first, you go second..The sweet abyss I sorely miss Slipping quickly I don't resist A sickly comfort Home sweet home A piercing truth Down to bone Exposed depths Expanding still.......
So I did it I shared tonightSo we've been going to a support group for a few months and tonight I finally shared. I was very nervous but I did it. I really had to hold back my outbursts but I'm glad I shared. After that we came home finished cooking dinner, watch the all... (...)

Getting ready in the darkNothing better than waking up to find the power is out. Poor Joel had to take a cold shower in the dark, I couldn't make him a hot breakfast, I couldn't make his tea! A Tree fall on the power line so our whole block is dark. Estimated repair... (...)
I have this recurring thought…I want to go to the beach and wade through the shore break up to my neck and then just start swimming for the distant horizon. Swimming as fast as I possibly can with no care of ever returning to the shore… But I’m sure that I will probably just fin... (...)
