Classic Art Forms

Great art stands alone. Majestic lines. Abstract forms. Striking subjects. Great art is boundless in all. An indescribable connection of emotion. Timeless in theory. Spilling over with mood. Classic art comes in many mediums, but in this post I wish to concentrate on works by the masters of sculpture.   Quite possibly the most famous … + Read More ..read more

More Cane Fun

  I get around a lot. Let me rephrase that…I get around USING TWO CANES a lot. My two canes are always nearby.  And always together. Sometimes I wonder what they do–and what they talk about– in the downtime when they’re not hefting my big butt around. So I came up with a few scenarios … + Read More ..read more

Plane Play

  Many air travelers ask “Why are kids so disruptive at the airport?” The answer is simple….They are bored.  Bored to death.  Tired of the waiting.  The long lines.  With nothing to do. Well, good news! Through a generous grant, the Anderson Regional Airport in South Carolina announced plans for a new interactive playground…just for … + Read More ..read more

My New Diet

  It was time to make a change in my diet. For starters, no more blueberry donuts at breakfast.  No more unhealthy snacking throughout the day. I realized I haven’t been myself lately. Sluggish. No pep. I had no energy.  No enthusiasm. I was listless.  Plain lazy. I didn’t want to walk.  I didn’t want to play.  Even going for a drive didn’t excite me like it once did. My skin was dull.  My hair drab. Everything was simply…”blah.” Period.   Time had come to go in a different direction. So I made the change.  A new diet.  MY new diet…formulated f ..read more

Daddy’s Little Helper

  What’s in your tool box? With multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms and leg tremors are a condition prerequisite…a not-so delightful appetizer before the main course, spasticity. Some people experience the involuntary movement in their arms.  But most (like me) have legs that quiver worse than a chihuahua. Such jumpiness happens at the most inopportune time as well.  Like when you’re trying to sit quietly.  Being still–at a wedding, an important meeting or a doctor’s appointment.  Yeah, nothing like a good, strong leg spasm during a prostate exam (I know!).   Shake ..read more

Brain Drain #29

  Finally, something new! It has been too long since I’ve written any dribble for this humor site…and even longer since I’ve posted a “Brain Drain.” For those of you who are unfamiliar, “Brain Drain” is simply a post where I pull the plug on my cerebral cortex and empty out what has been a bug in my craw. Ready?  Let’s get started…   First, how about a few tv commercials I am fed up with.   eHarmony.  Pimple popper.  Get who gets you. A nasty blemish.   The spot opens with a dude looking in a mirror at a huge zit on his shoulder. Next his eHarmony match becko ..read more

  Dig in! Since the release of the movie “Unfrosted” (on Netflix), the world has been abuzz with chatter about Pop Tarts. For good reason too. Everyone knows about them.  Everyone has scalded the roof of their mouth on them.  And everyone has a favorite flav–mine being strawberry. But not all Pop Tart’s have been a hit.  Some never made the cut. That said, My Odd Sock has uncovered this list of rejected, unpopular, even hated Pop Tart flavors.  See for yourself… and lastly, Here are even more Pop Tarts that never made it to your grocer’s shelves… Pencil ..read more

MS M.O.

  Yeah, that’s right.  Your MS M.O. Your “modus operandi.”  Your plan. What are you doing to fight back against your hiccup of multiple sclerosis? But let’s not limit it to just MS. Whether it be arthritis, diabetes, heart disease or any of a malady of ailments–you can’t just stand there & do nothing. You gotta work it. You gotta beat it to submission. It doesn’t quit….so neither can you.   Never surrender!   By giving in—even for a day—it gains ground. Therefore you mustn’t surrender. You stay with the ship (your body) and fight back! Are you taking medications ..read more

See-Thru Pants

  As the Major League Baseball season begins, so has another controversy. The brew-ha-ha began when Nike, the official uniforn & footwear supplier to the MLB, unveiled a new uniform design.  This new line was performance-based; thinner, lighter-weight, allowing better air circulation.  And the change was much needed as players have been routinely grabbing and adjusting themselves as if wearing tighty-whities full of fire ants. The new uni’s.   Unfortunately, players disliked the new threads for a variety of reasons, one of which was that the pants were “see-thru.” Yeah ..read more
