Chat sites

Dear comrades,

Its a war out there, the war of man vs. women in the ring of love. I get hit on, on these chat sites and the chat texts that come to me are so amusing, I can't help but be amusing back. However, I think it is more terror then humor, for them that is. If a man wants to play, he has to step up.

A 56 year old broke down non book reading, non many things fellow starts sending me texts. This is what happened.

Him:"Hey you are good lookin! Whatcha up to tonight?"
Me: "Taxidermy! I am trying to taxidermy my dog but it wont hold still!"
Him: "Maybe he just has some energy to burn, how old is he?"
Me: "2, I just watched a video on youtube about taxidermy and thats FOR ME."
Me: "I gotta get a gun so I can go shoot some wild animals. But instead of glass eyes, I am going to give them googly eyes!"

Friends, it looks like Spring

I am a week out from a big surgery and the hardcore meds are dwindling. Ofcourse being allergic to morphine which one of the nectars of Gods right up there with watermelon juice and true loves kiss - well this girl is allergic to it.

Some of the fellows are coming back from deployments. I see their return as joyful events with an eye on whats coming up next. As much as I admire and am proud of the men and women serving, I turn equal admiration and pride to the husbands, wives and SO's back here serving their families. Making life happen, normalcy, being strung thin. Not knowing daily.

I was walking around marveling that perhaps most of winter is over, amazed as always at how things push up through the frozen ground, the black earth and the green leaves and bits.

Resiliency. It takes you far in life.

This is a short one. Just wait till I am healed up when I am in my right mind and share the tales of the hospital and how my veins are shy, so shy damnit that every blood draw and iv is a test of mental strength.

I wonder if I should start carrying a hammer around. Just a small one. Then people will know I mean business OR I am ready to fix something.

Please take good care of yourself out there.

Love,

Rose
