Simian therapist needed...or at least a computer programmer
My husband is a computer geek. He writes his own computer programs and we are currently working on a from-scratch text game that will be very cool if it ever gets off the ground (or as Calvin would say, if it didn't blow up in the hanger). I asked my hubby a few days ago exactly how a computer worked. This was my mistake, of course. His explanation was long and involved. It went a little something like this. Note: This reiteration has been shortened for the sake of your sanity. A computer is l… Continue

Black and white
I recently read a series of books by Robert Asprin. One of the main characters, Chocolate Harry, is described as tall, beefy, with round glasses, short cropped hair, a bristling beard , and black skin. He is known for riding a hovercycle and tearing the sleeves off of his uniforms in the books so he is easily recognizable in the cover illustration. There is only just one little problem. The tall, beefy, bristling bearded guy with the torn off sleeves and riding the hovercycle is WHITE on every b… Continue

Subconscious Ironic Social Commentary or ...?
Friday night I had a dream. I was somewhere in India or Asia at a religious festival. This festival drew people from every race and every walk of life. I was wondering through a market place of some sort. The road was lined with tiny stalls and adherents of all types were making offerings of roasted fish; heads, fins and all, to whatever was inside them. I stood on tiptoe to see over the heads of the people crowding around the nearest shrine only to see ....... a Marylin Monroe bobble head doll!… Continue

On the pressures of dieting ... and I don't mean seam strain.
I, like so many other young women, am trying to diet. However, unlike most of the young women I know who are dieting, I actually need it. I am the type my sister calls "plushy" or as my dad would say "not the type you have to shake the sheets to find." (Yeah, kind of insensitive, but what can you do? They're family.) I have a body that an artist might (if they were being kind) call "pear shaped." Doctors call it "Morbidly Obese." ( They make it sound like I am dying or something. Yeesh! I can se… Continue

Even good changes can hurt.
My mother died two years ago this March. For most of my life she suffered from over twenty-five different diseases. (I say over twenty-five because we stopped counting after that.) Fibromayalgia, chronic headaches, diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma, and diabetic neuropathy to name the few that I remember. While I lived at home, my life revolved around my mom. From age twelve I was drawing and giving injections, going with mom to doctor's appointments to make sure that she didn't fall asleep while dr… Continue
