If you’ve ever met my brother, you would remember. I assure you. I’m going to call him ‘Turtle’ because that’s probably the most accurate way to describe him. He walks slow, he talks slow, he eats slow, he drives slow. If he ever did anything fast, I might mistake him for somebody else. And notContinue reading “October 16, 2020 – Have you ever met my brother ‘Turtle’?”

October 13, 2020 – Got a kidney to spare?
Today, I thought I’d talk about all the things that make life worth living. It’s so easy to think about all of the things you don’t have and get sucked into the whole ‘life isn’t fair’ vortex, which can take you down, down, down. But if you take a moment, you’ll find that there areContinue reading “October 13, 2020 – Got a kidney to spare?”
October 9, 2020 – Lack of Supervision
We weren’t your average family, not even close. I suppose we sort of resembled one (to outsiders) when my biological father was in the picture, but once my mom left my dad (with good reason I might add), things got rather wild. There was very little structure when it was just my mom in charge.Continue reading “October 9, 2020 – Lack of Supervision”
October 6, 2020 – Who cut the cheese?
Some of you might think I’m referring to actual cheese. You know, types like gorgonzola, brie, cheddar, provolone, pepper jack and the like. The rest of you know exactly what I’m talking about. You likely do what I tend to do when a particular song by the Cranberries comes on the radio, crack a smileContinue reading “October 6, 2020 – Who cut the cheese?”
October 4, 2020 – Bad eggs, every family has at least one.
Most families have a bad egg or two. And when I say ‘bad egg’, I’m not referring to the kind you might fry up and pair with a slice of bacon and possibly an english muffin. I’m talking about bad people. I know that sounds rather harsh but in this case, it’s true. These areContinue reading “October 4, 2020 – Bad eggs, every family has at least one.”
September 30, 2020 – Where to begin?
Where was it I left off? Oh, yes! I was born several decades ago, my name yet undecided when I made my initial appearance. But it wasn’t long before a suitable name was agreed upon and I became ‘official’. Days became weeks and weeks became months. I subsisted on Carnation Evaporated Milk, something I cannotContinue reading “September 30, 2020 – Where to begin?”
September 29, 2020 – ‘Formal’ Introductions
Hello, everyone. I decided to start this online journal/blog because I need a means to vent my frustrations and this is much cheaper than a therapist. What could really be so terrible, you ask? You want to know? Well, here it is. I WANT TO DIVORCE MY FAMILY. Seriously. Ok…maybe all but one or two.Continue reading “September 29, 2020 – ‘Formal’ Introductions”
