Waiting for the ambulance...
Waiting for the ambulance to come take my wife to the hospital. It is non-emergency transportation directly into the cancer ward, as they call it. The seizures have stopped, but she is largely unresponsive. The nurse was here earlier and helped clean her up (she had peed herself earlier this morning), and during that, she seemed to be able to follow me with her eyes. But she cannot speak.

Cancer Update.....
My wife had multiple seizures last night. She had asked for a methadone for pain about 8 pm, and I gave it to her. This is nothing new. In a half hour or so, she had her first seizure and it was bad. Face turned scarlet red and I thought she was dying. Frantically called the hospice nurse, who came right over (God bless her). Since her heart rate and respiration were okay, nurse made her...

You don’t need a gun. That’s what the police are for. Oh, wait…..
It is so sad it takes horrible things like this for people to realize they can’t depend on the police to protect them.

She was kicked off the basketball team because of the potential for “drama” her presence created. She’s been vilified by fellow students, called “criminal,” “rapist” and “child abuser.” She was expelled from school. And far worse. She’s facing a lifetime label of “sex-offender,” because the other girl’s parents brought criminal charges against her despite the fact that the...

Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.
Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to…

But he's too young for a hooker....
So my son had a really bad last few days with respect to his mom’s illness. Last night I took him to Cabellas and bought him a BB gun. This morning in a beautiful early morning sunrise we sat out back before school and plinked at plastic cups.
So this morning one of the Hospice social workers comes to visit and she wants to know how my son his doing. I mention the BB gun and she gets a look...

Angelina Jolie's Breasts....
As the husband of a woman who is suffering end stages of breast cancer, I’m inclined to weigh in on Ms. Jolie’s announcement.
First, I have no real problem with the jokes that have sprung up. For me, the humor assuages the uncomfortable horror of that disease.
But when the jokes go stale, no one should doubt for a second that I would gladly trade a wife’s prophylactic...

My two friends were hanging out with a group of college buddies in the Siskiyou Mountains, far away from any of the usual campsites because they had weed and shrooms and didn’t want to get caught. They’d been tripping pretty hard all night and were sitting around the fire, each in their own little…

Media's Anti-Gun Narrative Destroyed By Justice... →
basedheisenberg:
Between the years of 1993 and 2011, as the assault weapons ban expired, more Americans purchased guns, the Supreme Court overturned outright gun bans, and individual states not only loosed gun control restrictions but also issued concealed carry permits to private citizens, incidents of gun violence in America collapsed.
Between 1993 and 2011, nonfatal gun crimes plummeted...

Here's a theory you're free to ignore...
Bans on so-called assault weapons, like the one we have here in Connecticut, are no different than bans on t-shirts with photos of so-called assault weapons.
The so-called Assault Weapon ban is a ban on certain features of the stock of the weapon— folding stock, pistol grip, forward grip— that are not elements of the essential functionality of the weapon. They are not what makes the...

Fun with Cancer, (or too much information)
Wife got badly constipated (cancer painkillers will do that) so today I had to stick a suppository up her ass. Her bent over the bed and me standing there with my pinkie buried up to the last knuckle thinking “well, just like old times.”
Love means never having to stick your own finger up your ass when you’re in really bad shape.
Remember that, all you young ‘uns out...
