Good news from the Gum Guy!

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 17 Dec

So, I posted a week ago about how I had to figure out a new schedule. I finished up the medicine on Sunday! I went back to the doctor today. While they found fungus in my mouth it is caused by dry mouth. They also found that...

I took a couple of days to see a friend

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 24 Nov

My friend lives about 2 hours away but at this point she and I are kind of a last of a group. So, I take oral medication for pain. And not just pills, some of them in pill form have corn starch in them, so I take them in...

I have a question

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • 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...

Bullies!

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • 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...

Kitty Politics

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 29 Oct

My friends who have known me for a long time know that I have cats. Not as may as I had back in 2007 when I joined here. In fact, I have 6 cats now. However, I have honestly never had as much trouble as I'm having now. It...

Does this photo look like it might be a modern reinterpretation of Hogwarts? I admit I haven't been to the 'new' Austin Central Library. I kind of knew it had moved from the one built in 1979, but just hadn't been too...

Women in Role Playing

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • 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...

I have had all these Medicare scammers calling

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 16 Oct

Do you know what I have discovered? That all of them are not looking for me! I have taken to demanding who they are looking for. I do mean demanding! Why? Well, I have had a lot of people say I don't sound 70. So,...

I was doing the cat litter today. I had take the rest of the trash out already. I had swept most of the kitchen. But then I was working on the cat litter. I wasn't quite half done when I get this call that interrupted the...

I was reading an article about a predator who sexually assaulted a young woman and then got caught. He said: "I am so sorry for what I have done. That's it. That's all I can say." Is he really sorry he did that? No. He is...

Songs that don't mean what you think they mean

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 1 Oct

I was watching a YouTube video about this subject. I'm not going to steal what he directly talked about. I'm sure a lot of people know that "Every Step You Take" by Sting is about a stalker. That is so obvious I don't know why...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 28 Sep

So this lady - Lisa... yeah, I don't believe it from her accent. So, "We are calling to help you or your loved ones with medical help..." Then she goes through a list of things. Now, I know 95% of them, and I don't have them....

It just gets better and better

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 26 Sep

What? Well, got the first woman asking for Connie. But not by Constance. No, by Mrs. Crouch. I told her: "there was no Mrs. Crouch" - because her mother remarried after the divorce. And her mother died in 1999. I then said...

Yesterday, about 6 we had a small power blip. It turned out my complicated electrical lights, but not my simple sort of manual light. It also turned off my computer. So, I turned it back on. And the internet didn't load. The...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63643) • United States 21 Sep

I have noticed that my rings are tighter in the morning than at night. In fact, this morning I struggled to pull off one ring this morning. I wasn't even up yet, but it was so tight, I struggled to get it off. I did move it to...
