• 33 years – I still remember

  August 9, 2020

  Not everyone knows where their first love is in the world, especially after several decades have gone by.  Sure, some people married their first love and held on to the person who they knew was "the one" for them.  Most of us didn't take that opportunity.  A few of us never had that opportunity. ...

  Sun Jul 26, 5:00am Nice that they have a PayPal option to pay for this Open Diary thing. Don't know why I paid for this Open Diary thing. $40 per year isn't super expensive.  My family probably wastes $40 on food every month that we save and then throw out (leftovers, ugh).  So yeah, what…

• Devil Inside

  July 3, 2020

  "Devil inside...  the devil inside...  every single one of us, the devil inside..."  I still chuckle at the band name INXS - such a witty acronym for a band that liked to like every day "in excess."  I guess that's how most bands used to live, especially while on the road.  I digress.   I&he...

• Disappointed with me, myself, and I

  June 30, 2020

  So much time away, and so much to reflect on in the past 20 years (yes, back to the original Open Diary days when I first started a different diary under a different alias in what seems like a different lifetime).  My overall assessment:  disappointing.  Yep, I am disappointed with me, myself, an...

  December 14, 2010

  My older daughter broke our dog's leg by throwing him down on the hard ground outside when she was pissed at him...  god knows what the dog did to her...  and we got stuck with a $3700 bill for a doggie ER visit, surgery, recovery, and drugs.  Add on a $85 per week visit charg...

• 86400 seconds in a day to suck suck my money away

  December 5, 2010

  New York is one big money-sucking state, and it's only going to get worse.  The $10billion deficit is going to cost everyone a lot of extra $$ per year.  You can only cut so much before you raise taxes.  The local County deficit is anoither $1billion (although they won't admit...

  Social Security...  isn't that an oxymoron?  I mean...  anyone who believes that Social Security is going to provide anywhere near the monthly $$ that you need to live when you retire is just that...  a moron!  By the time I'm "ready" to retire, t...

• Yes to sarcasm

  December 3, 2010

  Yes, satire and/or sarcasm is how my words come across most times.  Thanks for noticing.  Isn't self-deprication part of the fun of life?  I mean, if you can't laugh at yourself once in a while, you shouldn't laugh at anyone else either. I don't want to be liked by everyone.&n...
