I do recall because I AM an avid reader of this blog. So there. :P I hope your back heals soon from whatever caused that sudden pain. (Pinched nerve, herniated disc, or just a pulled muscle....could be a number of things. I hope it gets resolved.) I love the vision of you terrorizing the able bodied. :D And I love the photo of Brindie and my nephew Osito, who I love and miss so much!!

My favorite horse on the merry-go-round was the dapple grey. I ran to that horse, feeling in my child's heart that the horse was waiting for me. Such good memories, but I never forgave the owners for selling off those animals without offering them to the community. I have been searching for a picture of that horse but realize I will never know what happened to it. I hope it found a home with someone who appreciated it's beauty. I remember those animals as so much more beautiful than most merry-go-round animals, but perhaps that is just my childhood memory too.pittsburghpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363927877212716133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936691594811652283.post-57093340059274218592012-07-04T11:35:59.066-07:002012-07-04T11:35:59.066-07:00Obtaining a trailer tent may be the very best sele...Obtaining a trailer tent may be the very best selection <br />I've ever done.

Chefs allover the world wear crocs every day of their lives. The reason for this is they are comfortable and chefs are on their feet atleast 8 hours a day. Being a chef is a lot more difficult than you may think and ooooh I would love to see you jump in a busy kitchen. I bet you couldn't stand a half an hour in one. You don't know anything about these people so don't judge them.

I'll be there for Christmas because I'm meeting my mother and sister. Otherwise, I have no interest in coming back. I'd rather have friends come and visit me. This is the city where I was born and raised. My family has been there since the beginning of the twentieth century. But it is <br />not my city anymore. It's been invaded by the super-rich and the super-competitive and they're<br />not going to leave anytime soon. So, when you <br />have had enough, I'm sure you'll move on. You've made big changes in your life. That's who you are! Love, Mort.<br /><br />P.S. I'm "Anonymous" because I have absolutely no idea what any of the choices are!!!

I often fantasize about moving to a more peaceful place. I also get in ruts and spend a lot of time by myself. And I enjoy that time, mostly. It can be productive. But it's nice to have the OPTION of walking down the block to hang with a friend. There really is a lot about urban life I do tend to take for granted. It only takes a bit of reflection to remember just how terribly annoying it was to own a car.Brian R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02635262738323940456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936691594811652283.post-43073057434692589592011-12-08T09:39:04.605-08:002011-12-08T09:39:04.605-08:00This is touching.

But recently I am on a writers block and it is really sticking it to me. But you know, I still know when I see a good writer or a promising one. You are one. :) Keep writing.
