News I haven't share - for a reason

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63727) • United States 10 Jan

I took a fall back on the 3rd. I fell forward, which saves my back a bit, and I didn't break my nose, again. I scrapped my left knuckles and put a bruise on my chin. Apparently I did further crack my filling and had to have a...

I have a question

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63727) • United States 30 Oct

I don't expect an answer, but I'm going to throw it out there. I do something. I remember doing it, but only if someone sort of breaks it. I don't know how old I was, but I think it must have been a Sunday morning because the...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63727) • United States 29 Oct

I posted a discussion about my pets. What prompted it was that I have some bullies among my cats. Earlier today I saw Teeny trying to walk around when she couldn't see Onyx. I finally scooped her up and put her in the room with...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63727) • United States 19 Oct

So, I'm sure most of my friends know I'm a science fiction fan. I used to go to conventions, not as heavily celebrity as San Diego Con. I did get to meet several of the Classic Doctor Who actors. This is just to let you know...
