Being the robot that I am, I tend to overlook the human aspects of stories: I simply cannot empathize. But, I am finely attuned to smilies, metaphors, humor, and the fine use of language. Your entry is a delight in this sense: I love your intimacy with imagery and your self-deprecating sense of humor.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERNEST!!

I too just mended from a bout of pneumonia for over the past two months. It wasn’t going away, so the doctor then prescribed another course of a different antibiotic. Also too, I have had the same thing with my ears in the past from SCUBA diving once:O You described it precisely when referring to the clearing to “fighter Jet” sounds:) I too saw what was removed from my ear:O — Instant relief! 1/2 warm to hot water mixed with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide administered into the infected ear at somewhat high pressure with a plastic tipped syringe clears it out as well. You just hold your head over a tub and blast a good amount into your ear over and over a few times. The bubbling from the peroxide interaction with the infected matter breaks up with the onset of the warm water. As well, the doctor recommended doing that as maintenance every few months; as I was susceptible to buildup. — Keeps the doctor away to do that at home;)

Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY; and, make it a great day!

Sounds like an ordeal for the anniversary day of when you were born. Actually I bet it wasn’t so bad after your last comment about giving yourself the gift of good health. Better luck next time though. I mow a lot of grass at work in the summertime and what with all the dust and dirt particles that go flying around my head and some of it inevitably into my ears, I have this problem with regularity myself; ears clogging up. So I have a small squeeze bulb with an ear cleaning solution first then I take the bulb and squirt plenty of water into my own ear multiple tries until ears clear. I save the Dr’s visit that way and you wouldn’t have to pay but a few dollars every couple of years or so for more ear cleaning solution and a new squeeze bulb occassionally. I bet you could do what I do too.
Happy belated birthday.
Regards,
Timothy Louis Baker

“Desire”

My thoughts ponder deeply of us,
Strolling along a moonlit beach.
The air is fresh with a windy breeze,
While the water pound upon our feet.
We play and fall to our knees in an embrace.
I gaze into your eyes as you lightly blush,
Gently caressing your face with a soft touch.
I reveal the passion I feel for you,
As we kiss, our hearts conjoin as one, thru and thru.
Our body temperature begin to rise within us,
So hot that the water is steaming upon touch.
Time cease while we entangle with passion,
Exploring each other like never before.
But, we come to our senses to realize,
That we are not alone to our surprise.
There are onlookers along the beach shore,
Watching us like kids at a candy store.
Our body temperatures were intense like fire,
We must calm down our passion of desire.

The Harvest of Inadequate Lives is a graphic tale of Finn, a gay man struggling with the world. The book is poetic, erotic and for anyone who likes a real read, the one you will not want to put down – available on amazon. For those who have read it, then I am only too happy to discuss….

Comment on Health Care Bill: Development or Doom? by Christy Lowry

Christy Lowry — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 05:29:15 +0000

DOOM–I agree more with comment #s 3, 5, 10 above. We need to start over with health care, take the time to study in depth each component and change each one to fit in with our constitution. We definitely need to get more people insured (not illegals) and rein in skyrocketing medical costs. But the real issue behind the issue is encroaching government intrusion into our lives, making us less free, i.e. fining people for not having insurance. And as a senior with a disabled nephew, I’m more than worried about rationed health care, which they’ll just sneak in thru the back door, calling it something else–and uninformed people will fall for it. I’m concerned about what will happen to these two groups of people when their life-sustaining meds and treatment are rationed.

p. s. What is this survey being used for?

DOOM! Why is it a punishable offense NOT to have health insurance? That’s mandatory coverage the wrong way, why not just reinstate the Poor Houses of 19th century Dickensian England. Jail everyone who is uninsured.
