I'm Ill and I Miss Mom Today

I been thinking of Mom all day. I'm ill as a can be with some kind of flu and it sucks. I am having a massive fibromyalgia flair as well - not to mention my arthritis in the knees is acting up badly.

So I been thinking of the days as a child when Mom took care of me when I was ill. Somehow she never seemed to get ill herself that often at all. I on the other hand was ill a lot in my youth.

Mom used to say when you see the time 11:11 or 12:34 then someone in heaven is looking down on you. Since I been thinking of her all day, maybe she is looking down on me today.

In any event, I would love to be having a cup of coffee with her in the kitchen of her apartment right now. I so very much miss those days, and now I'm starting to cry. Well, I don't want to cry, but my eyes are leaking thinking of how much I miss Mom today.

All Those Porn Spam Accounts

Image
I love Quora, as I like to answer random questions. But there is a big issue with porn spam accounts on it. 70% of my upvotes are from a profile like this one. I'm kind of sure not one of them is safe to click, but I'm totally not interested in porn anyway. And not like this random person on the internet is going to come to your location just to boff you. Have to say I pass on about 60% of the questions I'm requested to answer. They literally make no sense and the English is so bad I can't decode it. But it's fun and I've answered a few questions most people who never dare to answer. Got to say, Twitter and Instagram are rather the same, 90% of the follows I get on them I block because they are either porn spam channels or scam channels.

Top 20 Deli Meats (Cold Cuts) Rated

Image
I found a list of the top 20 cold cuts in the world. That head cheese got into this list makes me wonder what so called normal people think is good food. This is of course keyed to my tastes only and may not be how you see it. For example, Dad loved Bologna above all other cold cuts, and would fry it black and make sandwiches with tomato and Kraft sandwich spread. Sometimes the bread of toasted. On a side note, literally ONLY white bread of served to us at home as young folks and so on. The idea of eating brown bread was out of the question. BTW Mom's favorite cold cut was Olive Loaf. My perfect 10 no longer exists and it was called Onion Loaf. Nothing will ever replace Onion Loaf in my mind. 1 Turkey Breast 4/10 2 Ham 5/10 3 Roast Beef 2/10 4 Salami 7/10 5 Bologna 3/10 6 Chicken Breast 4/10 7 Prosciutto 9/10 8 Pastrami 8/10 9 Pepperoni 7/10 10 Mortadella 7/10 11 Corned Beef 4/10 12 Capicola 7/10 13 Liverwurst 6/10 14 Soppressata 8/10 15 Chorizo 6/10 16 Genoa 7/10 17 Pork Roll 2/10...

14 Years Soon Dear Mom

Image
This is July 18, 2026 and on the 20th Mom will have been dead for 14 long years. I don't have the words to express how much we cared about each other. I loved he more than my own life. I will never stop missing her. She will always be a part of my very existence. To watch her waste away and to no longer be able to take care of her where by far the hardest things I faced in this life. When she passed, part of me left with her and the hole will never be filled by anything. One day dear Mom, we will be together again. For now I think of all the good days we had, all the times we laughed and cried together. I sat by your side that night and watched you slowly slip away. I would not have been any other place but with you. You gave me a lifetime of love and care, it was the least I could do to be with you in the end. What I would not give to have one more coffee outing with you, or one more game of cards, or to just sit and watch the news with you. One day good lady we will be together a...

I Will Never Stop - I Will Always Love

Image
It does not matter what you do for this world. It does not matter how many lives you brighten. It does not matter what you give to people. If enough people know you exist, you will be hated - it's a sad reality. When I was able, I gave my time to charity. I have always shared my art with the world to use and to download for free. I try every day to make people think and to make them know someone cares. The vast majority of interactions in my life are positive to say the least. But there is always going to be negative ones, you can't get around that. The mind that hate has no real pride in themselves - they will scream that they do, but the look inside and project the vile they see in themselves on the world. It is said that all people have some good in them, but I know that's not true. There are people who are only bad inside - rotten like trash on a hot day. There are thing I will never give into. One is seeing myself as not worthy of love, kindness and joy. Another is my ...
