Let’s all pretend that today’s Friday and I didn’t forget about my blog. I have a good reason, I swear!
Might Need Asbestos Clothing for This One
Yesterday, I read a post by Trisha Torrey over at About.com’s Patient Empowerment area. It was about the possibility of a convicted child rapist named Kenneth Pike being considered for heart transplant. She presented the issues and asked for readers opinions. This is my comment: “One of the reasons I am a monthly support of…
In Which I Get An Attitude Adjustment
It has been brought to my attention that I’m showing. No, not that kind of showing! What I’m showing is my mood. One friend mentioned that my online posting sseem to indicate I was frustrated with my limits and another friend asked me if I were okay, because – and I quote – I’d “been…
Flitting, Changes & Measures of Success
So. There are these two rather large projects that consume my time at the moment. One is happening at MyRACentral. We have two weeks left before it all launches and in the grand tradition of things that sound like a really good idea when you’re safely ensconced in the dead of winter and dealing only…
The Lucy Experience
Today is Lucy’s Gotcha Day. Since I don’t know her birthday, I decided to celebrate an anniversary of her coming home instead. Which naturally means that a post is due. The name I chose for this wee one is good, fits her perfectly, but there are times where I think that if I hadn’t found…

Naturally named Pteri and here seen…
Sugar Beach News
Interesting things have happened and I feel compelled to share. For those of you who haven’t read the original post, as small recap. A wonderful recreational area called Sugar Beach opened last summer in my neck of the woods and about three weeks ago, I went to check it out. Only to discover that there…
Acceptance and RA: Tangled Up in the If Onlys
This week on MyRACentral, I think about acceptance, the if onlys and a few what ifs… “What would you wish for if there were no limits? What would you do if you found an old lamp at the flea market and it was the one with the genie in it?” You can read the…
Sensitive to the D-Word: A Disability Discrimination Test
Updated March 5, 2021 When you mention the D-word (discrimination) in connection with people with disabilities you get the funniest reactions. People sort of wince, they cringe, they even get angry and question your conclusions. It’s as if they have accepted the concept of discrimination against other groups, such as racial minorities, women and aboriginal…
