How time flies when you’re having headaches! I hadn’t realized it was 6 days since I’d posted. Shame on me!
Of course, that got me thinking about why it had been that long. I realized it was due to a number of different headaches.
First, of course, was the headache that came with the fibro flare-up. It [...]

Hey, Rapid City

I have a question for anyone who lives in Rapid City, SD.
How does someone who needs help to escape poverty and be safe find help?
You see, I live almost 2000 miles away, in Massachusetts, and I have no idea what resources are available in your area. I have visitedRapid City several times to visit friends. [...]
Not Again!!

My Lakota friend’s daughter, my “godchild,” was raped again.
My friend called me this afternoon and I was surprised, since it was only 1:15 PM out in Rapid City and I know she works until 3 PM. So I knew this wasn’t going to be good news. When I heard her voice, filled with pain, my [...]
Fibromyalgia/Lyrica Commercial #3
Posted in Day to day, Fibromyalgia, General, Health, Life, TV on July 21, 2008 | 9 Comments »
Well, the makers of Lyrica have done it again! Gather round, all you in fibro fog. I’ll tell you what I think of this one.
This new commercial, like the first 2, does an adequate job of informing the general public about fibromyalgia. And gratefully, we no longer have a whining woman as did the first [...]
Calling All Cousins: I have a confession to make
Posted in Day to day, Family, Family history, General, Life on July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I need to make a confession. If you are my cousin, except for a few “lucky” ones, I probably wouldn’t recognize you if I passed you on the street or in the market. It isn’t that my eyesight is that bad. It’s because we never see each other – well, except for the weddings and [...]
Obituary Watching Pays Off
Posted in Christian, Day to day, Family, General, Life on July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Back in March, I was horrified to discover that my uncle had died and I didn’t hear about it until a week after the funeral. I don’t read the local paper daily and my mother used to be the one who let us know about deaths (and births and marriages, etc) in the family. Since [...]
I LOVE the NHL Network ad campaign
Posted in Day to day, Family, General, Hockey, Life, Sports, TV on July 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
More often than not, sports and sports network ads are targeted at males in the 16-35 age bracket. They tend to have a lot of adolescent humor or violence (much like beer commercials, which are targeted to the same group). But I recently discovered one of the best ad campaigns for sports I have ever [...]
Going to church when you don’t “feel like it”
Posted in Christian, Church, Day to day, Family, General, Life, Miracles on July 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I have often gone to church, on Sundays or holy days or holidays, even though I didn’t “feel like it.” I did it again today, although the reason was very different.
When I was young I went to church if I didn’t “feel like it” because I was raised Roman Catholic. You went to church when [...]
Are You a Book Freak?
Posted in Books, Day to day, General, Life on July 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I am – I love to read. As you can imagine, I have rather eclectic tastes in reading materials, as in most other things. But I have never really thought to keep track of it.
An internet friend sent me an invitation in February – to join a group called Shelfari. I hesitated because I hadn’t [...]
Fibromyalgia Article in Woman’s Day Magazine
Posted in Day to day, Ethics, Fibromyalgia, General, Health, Life on July 6, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I have a subscription to Woman’s Day magazine. I got it so I could pass it on to my mother after I finished reading it. She liked to read it but couldn’t afford it. I offered her the subscription but that was “charity” and she didn’t need charity. So I got and “shared” it with her [...]
