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

JuJoJan 4 – Fingertips

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

While downing a burger and fries

What to my wondering eyes

Should appear

Way too near

But a Kentucky fried chicken demise!

Licking fingertips and loud smacking lips

It’s a wonder I could stomach it all

Then followed a belch

He seemed unable to squelch

I’ll never eat again at the mall.

I have not been on the edge of my seat, watching a movie for a long time. I’ve always loved cars, car racing, and did not research this movie to find the story behind it, thus: edge of seat. 😎”Ford vs Ferrari” is a must see for any fans of the sport.

Where’s the Beef?

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

I admit I’m not brilliant, I’m most easily confused

WordPress is bugging me, starting to feel abused.

The posts from most bloggers are not coming by mail

When they do, to no avail

Are three WP ads written above

And for those ads I have no love.

I try the Reader and even if and when,

Friends I follow have blogs written

They’re old or it’s someone I don’t read

What is up with the Reader feed?

I refollow again, but tell me this

Is it intentional for me to miss

Your stories, poems, and prompts?

Am I being summarily dismissed?

Maybe it’s time to give up the ghost

And avoid this WordPress host.

Fish Foil

The beach head was visible, the bank of yard metal gleamed in the moonlight. Only one more risk to take and the bounty would be ours. When the morning fishermen woke from their sleeping haze, all they would find would be leftover scraps.

In stealthy silence, we floated to a dry part of the shoreline where freezers were located, to check their haul. By the time we finished loading, the sky was alight on the horizon and the spine of our boat was curving.

The shore men won’t be singing any sea shanties this day.
