Re: Pengwenn's Pirate Life
I got use to the new normal of not seeing anything on my left side. I hated driving and I lost it when my boss sent me a care package with an eye patch in in. Later that was the best thing anyone every gave me. It helped me drive better as strong as that sounds. So that's were the "pirate life&...

Re: Pengwenn's Pirate Life
And the story comes full circle to my first post (wanted to make them shorter as easier to read in bite size portions). The next day the surgeon checked on me and I could see light and shadow. With that eye it looked like really blurry shadow puppets but only if you were within arms length of me. Be...

Re: Pengwenn's Pirate Life
They recovery is where things get worse (if that was possible). I had to wait in the prep area for awhile because the previous surgery took a little longer than expected and we had to wait until the room was ready. When I got the sleepy juice they didn't give me any warning at all. So one minute I h...

Re: Pengwenn's Pirate Life
The other big thing that's happened in the last 7 years is also not good . . . and also not over. On Sept 29th 2018 I tired to give my dob a hug and she didn't want one. In her effect to get away she head butted me directly on my left eye. The one that I had a cornea transplant on 14 or so years ear...

Re: Pengwenn's Pirate Life
So much has happened in 7 years . . . not all for the better. Story told in many parts. My "friend" is out of the house, finally. He was a 50 year old man with a grandson who thought mowing lawns once a week was "providing" for himself. I gave him a one year notice to move out or...

Re: WordTrip Revival
All of my other hobbies are going to crap right now so I need something else to fill my time to ward off depression and insanity (not sure which one is worse). In thinking about what to do I realized that I haven't been here for a long time so I'm checking in. I've got an idea I want to try out so I...

Re: Getting The Ball Rolling
My enemy is time. I just don't have very much of it left after I take care of all the things I HAVE to do. Granted some of those "have to" items I've self imposed on myself and could get rid of them if I wanted to. The biggest thing is that I started a YouTube channel to post videos of me ...

Re: WordTrip Revival
I've been checking in every now and then, even if I don't say anything. My creativity seems to have died so I'm trying to revitalize that as well.

I haven't given up on this site. I'm just not feeling very creative or inspired lately. I still come back every week or so hoping something will click in my brain and I'll start writing again. There just seems to be too much "real world" stuff going on that I can't concentrate on "imaginary worlds" ...

I agree with your lost sentence completely. And what I like most about WT and why I would rather show my writing (if I ever do any) here than elsewhere (incl family) is that this placed is filled with like-minded people. FB is a hodgepodge of people and most of them just don't get what it means to s...

I've noticed in my life certain times of the year I'm more prone to write things (or want to write things) than other times. Also certain days of the week or more likely to get me into the mood to write. Wednesdays and Thursdays for example. I found an old journal the other day and looking through s...

I know it's been awhile since I posted anything here on the site but I do check in every now and then. Just quick little glances when I can spare a minute or two. As the titles states, I've been hemorrhagging money for the past couple of months. Within a 3 week period I had to 1) replace my water he...

I'm trying to get back into writing by using my magnetic poetry on my calendar. I'm not impressed with the word choices but thankfully I found my starter word kit and my book lover's kit so I can take those into the office and play around with them. I have several email addresses for various things ...
