  • WADT…about cancer

    I don’t know if this is a bit too serious following my past tongue in cheek posties…

     

    It has been a while…

     

    what does one do when doctors tell you the person you spent your last 40 years (only 32 married) with will be moving on…passing a long ways away, soon? Dang cancer…dang tumors

     

    How do I get started …  deep breath…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • WADT… Lady Has a Point

    ~85 year old Asian woman in Oakland chinatown
    I was standing in line in a Vietnamese deli. This lady came up to me and touched my arm, held out her hand, and pointed to her mouth….A good point…. She went to every table and made additional points, without saying a single word. She definitely made several good points.

    May I point out that, at her rate of pointing, she was “making” at least $50 an hour?

  • WADT… 20 years ago today…

    …at 3:05am I saw my mother take her last breath. Something changes inside of a person when their mother dies. Something changes in the world on that day. I don’t know how to describe it, nor do I know if others feel the same way I did when she left. I only know that a sort of void and emptiness seemed to exist where-ever i looked in the world. She was one month shy of turning 60. Cancer.

    I spent some time this past month talking with a “friend” who recently lost her mother. Not only did she lose her mother, but she also lost her best friend. I probably can only truly understand some of the pain she must be feeling. I guess you could say, if there was one important life lesson I learned when my mother died, was that I learned how to see and feel some of the pain a person experiences when they lose someone close. I’m not ashamed to admit I learned how to cry that morning.


    Being a Christian, and believing that Jesus is the only way to God sounds like such a terribly harsh thing to say to a friend who has lost someone who does not believe the same thing. At times, it is almost a cruel thing to say to someone who does not believe this. There is one part in the bible where Jesus tells someone who has lost a relative to “let the dead bury the dead, and follow Him.” I could never say this to anyone. I recently read a survey saying that a large percentage of people believe there are many ways to God. My friend believes this to be true. I hope she is right.

    Even though the bible documents Jesus saying He is the only way to God, and that there is no other way to Him, other than via His grace and blood he shed on the cross…maybe there will be exceptions. There just has to be some. I hope. I hope.

    WADT…    ~IGNORED MESSES~

    you know how there are some “spills, drops and messes” you could just ignore and they just seem to get fixed, cleaned, picked up, or whatever by the “mess fairy”?

    …like when you’re eating roasted peanuts…and when you’re cracking open the shell and get to that little annoying lighter than air paper like covering (what the heck is that?) and it just flies all over the place like your t-shirt…your face…and a 3 foot diameter around where you’re sitting…well if you ignore all those little flakes for an hour or so, they get cleaned up by the mess fairy..did ya know that?

    …like when you drop a small piece of meat on the floor, you just kick it under the table to where the mess fairy lives…

    …or if you happen to get a booger on your finger (from who knows where), you just make these special flinging movements with your fingers…and the fairy comes to take the booger away?…

    …well i found out there are some messes that the fairy will not attend to…what the heck?…not a full service fairy?…shoot…i wanna different fairy…my mess fairy is not working out very well when this happened this morning…

    …my dog went outside to take her morning leak and poop…when she came back in, i noticed (as well as my nose) that after she pooped…SHE STEPPED RIGHT IN HER FRESH SMELLY STEAMY MUSHY POOP…CRAP!…double crap! how on earth does she do that?…i have never stepped on any of mine!!!

    …so with every step she left a fudgcicle or skidmark…and even though she must know there’s something smelly on her left rear paw, she still acted like she wanted to play “find your bone”?…how could this be?

    …where was the mess fairy when i needed her most?…crap…she’s stanky
