I called him Sweet Boots almost all the time, because that’s exactly who he was. Just the sweetest cat, not a mean bone in his body. A very gentle soul. Back in August of 2006, Boots was diagnosed with CRF (chronic renal failure). From that time to this, Boots fought the valiant fight until, as [...]
Posting from me iPhone
Posted in General on Apr 11th, 2009
This was so easy to set up! I have to test it out. So many times I think of things I want to write about while I’m in transit, then when I get home I’m focused on other stuff. Dunno if I’ll do long posts this way though, being that I’m not a big fan [...]

Posted in General on Jan 11th, 2009

This morning as I was waiting for my cinnamon raisin bagel to be toasted, buttered and added to the rest of my breakfast purchase from the corner deli, I spied the Dunhills in the cigarette display behind the counter. Ahhhh the thought of just having one cigarette, really enjoying a good smoke entered my mind. [...]

rage switch
Posted in General on Apr 5th, 2007
It’s not a necessarily bad thing, rage. Don’t like knowing it’s there, but it has come to my rescue as a tool for protection. It can be of use when dealing with threatening strangers or potentially abusive situations. When my rage gets woken up, and that part is usually automatic, the offender can see that [...]
