I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 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 eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am 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! Cheryl

Be Mine❣️

Take a little swim in the snow

Make twin angels in the white glow

No need for Valentine cupidity

You can show your love validity

Remember it’s “the thought that counts”

While freezing temperatures mount

Afterwards a fire would be nice

Possibly an Irish coffee will entice

Along with a covering just for two

Or spend lots of money, up to you.

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – 2-11-21

***

You might think romance a thing of the past

With everyone separated, but this won’t last

Romance will stay vigilant in our hearts

And when every discord departs

We’ll be free to join as one again

While now distanced, will surely mend.

THE FASTEST NUN IN THE WEST….

This is Hilarious!

Vinny's avatarLife is a rusty rollercoaster

How were your school days? Good? Bad?….Well I don’t know who said school days are the best days of your life but what an idiot! And they definitely didn’t go to my school…..

Nowadays teachers and pupils are almost friends the way they are with each other. Back in the 70s when corporal punishment ruled it was very different, especially in a Catholic school run by priests. ‘Spare the rod ruin the child’ should have been the motto at that place. The cane or the slipper, depending on the teachers mood. Marist College Catholic School For Boys …. No girls…. Not great for thirteen year old lads with testosterone starting to rage. Luckily for us at the other end of a very long street stood St Mary’s Catholic School For Girls. Never the two should meet, unless you wanted eternal damnation.

It’s a funny thing when you’re Thirteen. When someone…

One Liner Wednesday 2-10-21

Have you ever been driving on an icy rut filled winter dirt road and have your wet boot slip off the brake pedal? It’s a whole new experience in driving and actually quite exciting, especially when there’s a large drop on the right side of that road.

Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge 2-9-21

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

The most inspiring place I have ever been is Washington DC, standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial. I had fantasized seeing it as a child and then seeing how large it actually is, was very impressive. The second was the Vietnam Wall. Many inspirational spots are in our nation’s capital, showing our history. I could spend weeks visiting them all. The parts of the Smithsonian, air and space, is another.

That is why it is so disheartening watching the events in the news.

Am I missing something?

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Ok have your laugh – I know you want to. . . And no it’s certainly not the first time. I just started seeing comments and if I put a star meaning I read it and liked it, an unapproved check shows! What’s up with that? Then if I uncheck it to just show approve, it goes into a yellow list of comments.

Btw, the iPhone doesn’t have the option under view site like my Samsung did so I can’t check spam etc easily. It’s been so long I didn’t need to put the whole url in the top of google, I’ve forgotten how to do it. Are you beside yourself laughing now? No doubt!

Oh and I find I have to type in whole addresses even though I have predictive in the iPhone🙄

Any suggestions?
