How is One an Actual Gentleman? [~Alice~]         A Simple Question, yet with No Simple Answer. Herein, Dear Readers, I shall try. Leave Questions & Comments as You see Fit.   To begin with I suppose one must define a Gentleman. That isn't an easy task either for in my short life, and shorter time communicating...

(Edited to change typo in the title....oooops!) Before I start, this entry isn't a bash at anyone. I have disagreed with this entry in a calm and rational way, the writer has responded syaing he appreciated my comments. OK, this is why I don't agree with it. I know it's awful that people categorise themselves. We shouldn't, we should get on, live together in harmony, lovely. But the world isn't...

Henry once asked me, "What is it that you're afraid of?"  Now, I've been asked that question before, and most of the time I have trouble answering it.  I mean, some things make me anxious, but what is it that I'm really afraid of?  The words formed in my head at the same time the tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm afraid that this is as good as it gets." I...

Dear Diary, This Labor Day weekend is being graced with absolutely perfect weather in the great Northeast.  I'm about to join in with what is being called a block party right next door.  Also, I'm happy for the fair-goers at the Champlain Valley Fair in near-by Esses Junction and the Vermont State Fair down in Rutland.  Tiger Woods is almost finished with the third round of the...

make sure you check out the two entries i posted right before this.. passing through golden, BC ...

Okay, Here is my answer to Appleguy's e-mail, which I have only just sent. Before you read it I want to say that I trust you guys to not judge me. I considered editing some things out. But I decided to leave it all in because that is what diaries are for and that is what friends are for. It is how I feel. I have been married enough times to have waited until after marriage to have sex and to...

I was looking back through some old entries trying to find a poem that I put in an entry several years ago. I haven't found the poem yet, but I did find something I think bears repeating and (since time has passed and I've learned more) augmenting. In fact, I like it so much (even if I did write it myself), I've added it to my diary description page. I may have to remind myself of a few of...

Well, it goes both ways. I was hoping the anger would have faded by this morning but it would seem that I’m not that lucky. Let me start with the background. My parents are addicts. They have always been. Always. There have been good times and bad. Drugs have varied from alcohol, pot, coke, prescription pain meds etc. As children my sisters and I probably went through some bad times...

 I have often thought that nothing of relevance could ever be found on "Craigslist" till today. As I cruised through the Rants & Raves for today I found something that made my blood run cold. There was a posting about "McDonalds" and their site called, "365Black".  Dear God!  Can you imagine the up roar of a site called 365White? I...

I can't type for long because I really have to go to bed, but I've been spending some time online tonight, just researching. There have been a few horrible side effects that I've taken on since I started my new crazy pills. I never would have thought I would get indigestion and acid reflux because of generic Wellbutrin. I never would have dreamed that it would be impossible to carry on a...
