I can't call you by name, excuse me for that. Ya, The ache is still there but I'm learning to deal with it. Too cold here in Michigan where I live to work outside. I have a few things to finish up before leaving. I've got to get things loaded up in the trailer and pickup, you know cloths...

I like the way you put your thoughts into words that paints a picture. Of course over the years I've been to NYC more than many times, Also LA and all the places in between. Sometimes for a longer stay than I'd like. My thoughts even today are why anyone would choose to live like that if given...

Working on it. Feeling old from moment to moment, but also found that in my mind I can still think like some one much younger. Just have to be practical about how fast I can walk/run. I still don't like shopping and I don't care if my shirt matches my sox. I might shave, maybe not. I have fallen...

Question: How were you "hurt". Do you mean like hurt feelings or some how physically hurt? Promises not kept? Were you stolen from? Lied to or about? You said "healing" That takes time but still leaves scars that never go away, you carry them with you wherever you hide out. Some call it...

There was no warning for me, not even a hint that I'd be alone again. One day I was whole and alive, the next I was only half, lost in grief. All I wanted was to be with her. As I pull out this spring I'll be leaving all that has been, behind. Never going to return to what has been "home". It's...

spent 6 years, 6 months, 23 days in the navy, traveled the far east and escaped with no damage and no tattoos. I did the drinking but not drugs, didn't need the extra push to feel excited about things. Of course I chased the girls as most young men did and do, ended up meeting a dream girl, one...

Well put. Just doing it! That's what I am about. Not wishful thinking. Pearl Harbor, December 7th 1941 comes to mind. Safe harbor? Ken

I'll have to give your post some thought. First, I think your post was written with thought behind it. I'm guessing a lot here. It looks like you grew up like so many others did in the later 40's and early 50s' and 60s'. In an urban area. The pressures of the exciting peer pressure of others in...

I don't have a picture of my parents off hand but let me tell you about them. They were one! Not just husband and wife or father and mother, they were one being. The day my dad died, he sat in the big chair talking to me while my mother sat and just listened. My dad told me as he sat there, 69...

I did it tonight. cup of water, cup of milk, big chunk of butter in a sauce pan, brought it to a boil, added a package of creamy chicken flavor fettuccine (sp) from a dollar store, boiled it for about 10 minutes. Now I'm a chef, I can cook anything. Got a package of precooked sausage patties, a...

I'm coming to grips with being alone. Still as you say, some one to nudge is missing. Women bring a softer dimension to living in general. Like you, Pets such as dogs and cats require attention and care, along with short life spans, even shorter if they are not able to move freely about or when...

Start with a fully charged battery. Disconnect a battery cable at battery. In the dark, tap the cable on the battery, if there is a spark, you are right, there is a parasitic draw within the vehicle. If no spark, then it will likely be the battery. Next disconnect the alternator, again tap the...

You are right of course. However I still feel empty, still have the knot at the pit of my stomach. I have made the decision to run away from this place. In two months I'll be on the move. (maybe 3 months) I'm only waiting for better weather in the spring. I have no plan, no destination, no end...

Not half cocked. Spent 6 years 6 months and 23 days in your mans navy. I know that i I can not plan for everything. Over all, I am planning on following the warm weather. Giving up on life is behind me now, i am again awake and looking ahead. Amazing what them shrinks can do. Yes I am a ham...

yup, your lucky. I have two tow behind camper trailers in my yard, actually three, my son has his stored here also. My wife and I had a big one (sleeps 8). We had kids who are now all grown up and live on their own. My love and my life died so have no one to share with at all. I own my own home...

I've been an over the road semi driver for 60 years. Take it from me please, going on a "vacation" like a rabbit, speeding from high point to high point is a bad idea! you're doomed. Back up, hold up, slow down, waaaay down. First take stock of what you are going on vacation for? Society, tv...

Phyllis: Here is your knight in really dull armor. I'm really old. (83) but healthy. Like you I'm at my end. Well not my end but maybe at a sharp bend in life. My wife died on me almost 2 years ago from a stroke. Darn near starved myself from sorrow. Thank goodness for neighbors and head shrinks...

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I try to be light hearted about what is going on with me but it's the truth with a twist. Fact is I just don't care to do anything. I put one foot in front of the other like some sort of mechanical man. The neighbor lady gave me this lap top and has been...

Doncha see, now i have to think again, makes my head hurt. Now the water pipes are froze in the camper. I did eat an oatmeal/ raisin cookie. I think that counts. Anyhow, thanks for the ideas. didn't know the dollar store had that kind of stuff. Ken
