That really makes me sad to hear. He really blew his chance to turn his life around. It makes you think that he wanted to get caught–making that attempt while you were home and napping. What an invasion of privacy you must be feeling, knowing that you entrusted him into the safety of your home and he paid you back by rummaging through your home…[Read more]

How is he doing now, Sarg? It makes me sad how our Vets put their lives on the line for us and we thank them by ignoring their needs & struggles when they return. This is a civil society??? Well, at least they are not treated disgracefully as the Vietnam Vets were treated. Sigh as I smh.

I am blessed to have great neighbors. We help each other with projects. This fall they helped me build a raised garden bed for my veggies. I now have an 8×16 space waiting to be painted and filled with new soil & “mushroom dirt” this Spring 2015. To go with it, they made me the coolest garden bench made of old split rail fence posts, re-cycled…[Read more]

Sun is shining today but it is BBBRRRR especially when the wind blows. 25 degrees outside–feels like 15. I know we are not quite half-way thru winter, but I am sure looking forward to spring. I keep thinking about all of you who struggle with pain flares during this time. Warm Hugs.

I find myself playing computer card or board games to relax during a work break or at the end of the work day. Later, I like to play Angry Birds, Diamond Digger, Farm Heroes, Candy Crush and Bubble Witch while settling down by the TV. I tend to game for strategy and independently or with computer generated opponents. I used to play online with…[Read more]

Hi, Pipboy and Noki4, I love to play bubble witch and crush mania and jewel Mania. I can mindlessly play and distract myself on a day or evening I am having increased pain. I have a tablet or use my phone to access them so it does not take much effort and I do not need to sit in front of my computer. I am not skilled enough to play some of the…[Read more]

Petmom, I read your post and identified so much with what you were going through. I used to say oh its OK…I’m fine… But I clearly was not OK and would suffer through it knowing that I would get a headache afterwards and if we were eating and they lite up I would get stomach cramps. And I hated the smell. So after much thought and talking to a…[Read more]
