Twelve years ago my world flipped around, me like a cat in a dryer....a sturdy Maytag, adament on keeping me tumbling for some time.... Twelve years ago my mom died. Kathryn Royer Vogel Myers Banta Richards Richards Vogel, left the physical plain and I was catapulted into 'adulthood'. Feeling her soul leave her [...]
...but what you DON'T say that can be harmful. Communication is ticky. (ticky being a new favorite word). I was told by someone once....'communication is the response you get'.

The Weepies, (I've been on a year long kick with the Weepies) have great lyrics...one being, 'you can't steal happiness', (I believe that to be true, or power unless you let someone TAKE it from you), and I like the thought that: All my troubles are in the rearview mirror! Another Weepie [...]

I'm midway along this new adventure, a surgery in fact (and as my pal Lulu and I love to say, 'the details don't matter', as often they don't). I traveled to have some eye repair, my first reminiscant surgery when I was 7 years old, then 8. I'm in good care with a doctor I [...]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgOyTNtsWyY&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Compassion rules. Love rocks and thoughtfulness, in my book of preferences, makes me 'off-the-charts' weak in the knees. Do something thoughtful for someone today. Just do. BB Webb
....are the ones you take all by yourself. The Weepies said it and I concur. I hired a felon today. A sad young man caught up in the spider web of government gone awry. We checked him out, thoroughly I might add. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time....too sad and unfortunate [...]
