So, I get a call from a guy. He is interested in buying property in this area. Then he asks how much I would be willing to sell my property. Then he throws out some amounts. I tell him that it is not for sale. Oh, not right...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63930) • United States 12 May

So, my phone didn't go off before I got up. Now, I'm kind of expecting a call for a medical thing, so I've put the ringer back on. And I've been answering them, well, when I wasn't in the car or in the doctor's office. So, I...

Has this happened to any of you?

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63930) • United States 30 Apr

I don't know why, but I think I can pin the time pretty close. I was afraid I was going to get sick with a cold, so I took a zinc pill. This was sometime between early 1982 and late 1983. I then, not right away, but within an...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63930) • United States 24 Mar

I know I've have spoken in the past, but probably not too recently, that I take some stronger pain medication. I have certainly told ya about my food allergies. I'm pretty sure I've said that my worst allergy is often added to...

I am a science fiction fan. I discovered it through Star Trek, back in the 1960s, but I had pretty much finished all the SF in both my school library and the library branch near my home. After I was an adult, I was able to go to...

Yes, I really do. In 7th grade I just could not see the black (green) board. This really wasn't new, but it finally got bad enough I was given glasses. And they gave me headaches... yes, but not because of the vision, because...
