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

Lynn’s Tuesday Picture Prompt

A chilled stroll along the shore to refresh my memories of you. You and I sitting on the rocks, watching the waves shift back and forth. I always thought we should come here at night, to watch the light beam catch something extraordinary leaping from those waves. We never did. Perhaps tonight I will come visit this bank again.

Ooh lala

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

From my intimate aspect under the covers

A view seen only by lucky lovers

It is truly mesmerizing

Might I add appetizing?

Oh I think I’ve gone astray

Pull up the blanket to save the day!

Jujojan 7 – Caught

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Oh, he had been very carefully taught

On what he ought and what he should not

His parents had warned him so many times

It rang in his ears like an hourly chime

It didn’t stop him though, no indeed

He always knew he would succeed

Until that one time he met his match

And spied a woman he wanted to catch

Warnings pushed aside, he invested all

But he was the one who took the fall

He lost his love, his home, even his car

He was too smitten even to spar

The warnings he no longer hears

Just the sadness of his tears.

Chaos

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Something just said I hadn’t thought about yet, how after this stops and all these mobsters/strangers went through all the desks, paperwork and offices with backpacks, etc, that no one can enter those buildings without it being security scanned, with dogs, bomb sniffers, etc and even covid redo. T said he didn’t want anyone hurt, sure….😡

What a horrible man we have as president who has taken this country into such a state. I am 74, I have lived through protests – this is not a protest, this is terrorism.

He is responsible. He should be taken out and jailed, today!

RDP: Lineament

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Apologies, I can’t seem to help myself, believe me I’ve tried. Are prompts to blame? Of course not, it’s sleeplessness and news.

No doubt about it

You know it’s true

Some of our features have no value

As an example I once again thump

On the outgoing (finally) of don trump

His outstanding feature is outweighed by far

As it’s always open or hanging ajar

By sounds heard from this disgusting feature

Would put to shame the lowest of creatures.
