I am seven years a widow and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled.
I'm five years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition.
I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to nine gorgeous kids, featuring them often here. I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, anything British, and some sports.
I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. So happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly.
Thanks for reading!

Fandango’s Friday Flashback
FFfAW 10-23-17
He turned his chest in the direction of the car. His thumb clicked the button in his pocket. “Got it” he thought to himself. “Just a couple more, to make sure”.
The hidden camera in his oversized necklace clicked twice more. Luckily, the needed portrait of the perpetrator was accomplished without his knowing. “You would think he was a bit nonchalant, looking out the window of the getaway vehicle”, John thought.
It worked out well for John, member of the undercover police, dressed in local garb for this assignment. “Enjoy freedom while it lasts”. Smiling, John returned to the precinct.

One Debate Takeaway
TRUMP: Nobody has done more for the Black community than Donald Trump. And if you look, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln, possible exception, but the exception of Abraham Lincoln, nobody has done what I’ve done.
President Trump has repeatedly made this untrue claim. The president and his allies point to his support for programs such as “opportunity zones,” his use of his clemency powers and his support for legislation that makes it easier for federal prisoners to be released early.
The president also has consistently shown hesitance when asked to condemn white supremacy. He also has questioned the existence of systemic racism and has barred racial sensitivity training for federal employees and contractors. Trump used offensive language to describe Haiti and many African nations. Trump’s now-estranged former attorney claimed the president frequently uses racist language in his private conduct. All of this has alarmed many Black voters and other members of communities of color. And the claim that he’s the best president for Black America with the “possible exception” of Abraham Lincoln is factually incorrect.

A person who constantly refers to himself by his name, i.e. “Donald Trump did” should get your attention immediately. Constantly comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln? Lies unlimited is his mantra.

Thank heavens for the mute button!
