Despite how many have already died. Despite the fear and lack of grieving of all those deaths for the past eighteen months. Despite all the time we’ve missed with people we love. Despite every desperate plea from educated people who … Continue reading I Guess I Expected Too Much…
For anyone who cares to learn about it, there is a very clear history to Christianity. What it is today has little resemblance to what it started out as. You might call the things that have been added over the … Continue reading Spin, Spin, Spin…
I know this is “Picture Saturday” but I do think this pictures kinda fits here. One thing about RetComLife (Retired Community Life) is that the food just doesn’t have much tang or spice. I miss that! Part of my adjusting … Continue reading Picture Saturday – Greekish Salad?
I came to RetComLife in a different way than most (more on that later), but the first serious exposure was a tour of the facilities. As this was the first actual tour of any retirement community, I really didn’t know … Continue reading * RetComLife #3 – The Tour…
I never thought I would describe myself as being a victim of PTSD, but when thinking about what I went through during the end-of-life three-months with my wife, the description seems to fit. That is what this post is all … Continue reading PTSD…
Before I get into the main topic of this post, I need to fill you in on some of the things that brought it on. After two weeks in the hospital, part of it trying to stabilize my wife’s badly … Continue reading End of Life Trauma Part 4 – The Nursing Home
The words below were originally written for my “About” page but I think it also makes a good starter for this new series. I know the title to this new category of posts is kind of cryptic. It stands for … Continue reading RetComLife #2 About Me

I think most of my readers recognize the title above. “Form” is the artistic/creative side of the tools and toys around us, whereas “Function” is about how well it does the intended job. It is the analytical side. I must … Continue reading Form vs Function
I know many people are threatened by the term “White Privilege”. To some, it means that all those minorities are going to take over. That frightens them, the same way the Apartheid did to whites in South Africa. Being afraid … Continue reading White Privilege Does Not Mean…
Today’s post is about doctors and my interactions with them during the first two weeks of my wife’s two and a half months’ ordeal with end-of-life issues. I will start off by telling you that it was an extremely confusing … Continue reading End Of Life Trauma – Part 3 Doctors, Doctors, Everywhere
My Aspie traits like things orderly. I NEED to have all my ducks lined up before I can proceed with many things. The trouble is that my brain, especially now, just doesn’t want to accommodate that idea. Maybe it is … Continue reading I Like Things Orderly, But…
If you believe all these conspiracy theories that people dream up, you are probably convinced that COVID-19 was a China plan to wreck America. Or maybe it was a Russian plan? I don’t keep track of all these things. And … Continue reading IT’S YOUR FAULT!!
