As Ben sat in his favorite old chair scratching his grizzled beard he snarled at Danny the neighbor kid who zipped by on his skateboard. It seemed like only yesterday He was riding along on his new shinny blue 3 speed schwinn bike showing off for Mary. Oh Mary that beautiful high school cheerleader with the long red curly hair the sweetheart of Maple Way. The bike was a christmas present From aunt Jean his mother's older sister who gave everyone the best that money could buy, so she was his favorite. As he watched Danny head down the street he wished for a minute that he could change the past and instead of a cynical old bachelor sitting on his porch on a warm afternoon dreaming the impossible dream he could be living his dream. His life a series of missed opportunities and bad decisions and now nothing but dreams. As he began to doze off he was startled by a loud hissing sound as a meteorite crashed into his front yard and Ben's life changed in a blinding flash.

i look at three forums pretty much every day, this one, a knitting/crochet forum and a weight-loss forum.

the weight-loss site has loads of useful apps, but the forum consists of posts by people who are mostly pretty young, self-absorbed and ill-informed except on a narrow range of information, mainly weight-lifting, working out, and starving themselves.. the folks on the knitting/crochet forum are extremely polite, politically correct, and obey rules very carefully.

other than that, there are some seriously creative people with amazing artistic talent that expresses itself in fiber arts.

Are You Comfortable With Who You Now Are?

many jws are misfits and many that were raised as jws find it difficult to be "normal".

are you comfortable with yourself at this point in time?.

nancy drew

i'm comfortable enough with myself but I'm not sure how comfortable others are with me. I have a habit of dragging people into conversations they don't especially want to have.

People as pinatas hit them with weird ideas and see if any candy or toys fall out.

I've never had a flu shot and have only had a strange flu once many years ago. We were out for a walk and we sat by a pond just full of ducks and not long after we came down with a horrible flu within days of each other. We were flattened by that flu. i often wonder if we had some kind of bird flu.

Fading

it is not chains that bind me to the position i now hold .

and, that, for a lengthy time now.. i stand motionless, my eyes peering through dark curtains, they fixed steadily upon cheerful passersby on the street below my third-storey bedroom window.

by their simply being out and about in the daytime sun i perceive that, in contrast to my placid self, these happy souls are at peace with the world.
