Rants and Vents Sometimes I'm not necessarily angry, I just need to get stuff off my chest. Here is as good a place as any to do it.

Hope Springs Eternal . . .

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

-Alexander Pope,
An Essay on Man, Epistle I, 1733

I went for my second opinion on Monday. Thank God I did! My nice small town ob/gyn wanted to rip out my uterus (e.g. hysterectomy) just because I have fibroid tumors and painful heavy periods.

The new doc passed me off to...

My worst week ever? It damn well better be, because I can't take much more.

My dads cousin Pete died Saturday. Apparently his pacemaker became infected. I thought they were metal or plastic, how the hell does a pacemaker become so infected it destroys the surrounding tissue?!?

He was a nice man, he and my dad grew up together.

One of my moms best friends died Monday after a startlingly brief illness.

Tensions are running high because mom says there...

As mentioned in previous posts my dad has Parkinson's Disease (PD). He was given this tentative diagnosis in 2006. After a battery of tests he was given a definitive diagnosis of PD last year. He was sick and in the hospital about 6 months ago for an unrelated ailment. While in the hospital he fell and hit his head and ended up with a hematoma on his head. From that day forward his health has declined dramatically.

Right before I left for Tijuana in April, I was talking to...

I know y'all get tired of me tilting at windmills about racism, homophobia, and misogyny. I'm really not as thinned skinned as many of you seem to think.

I believe that those of you who keep telling me it's just the internet have never received a PM like the one I received last night. If you had, you wouldn't say such trite things to me when I shout down these mental midgets in chat or in the forums. I do have a reason for doing so, it's because it exists and it's not just one or...

I Dislike Social Networking Sites

I am too old for MySpace and I am not particularly fond of FaceBook, though I do have an account there.

The truth is, the only reason I have a FaceBook account is because I saw on the Today show a few months ago where a nice, normal, professional man met his wife there. So I figured I would give it a shot.

My point and I do have one is that:

I want my Buddy List back!

I don't like that this site is turning into a social networking site.
