9/11 Remembered...
General | Posted a year agohttps://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2024/09/11
I was driving to work at Drexel in Philadelphia when the first tower and the Pentagon were hit. I wound up rescuing a nice elderly lady who’d been evacuated from a NYC-bound Amtrak train; installing her in a faculty lounge until her kids could drive down and get her…
9/11 wound up killing my mother.
She was stranded in Maine with no way to get at the chemo which was holding back her cancer. We got her home a week later, and she died at home with her family around her. To this day, I still recall telling my brother-in-law, a RN, “Remember, no heroic measures!” when he was about to start CPR…
(sad sigh) And now it’s my turn for chemo for lymphoma… :(

General | Posted a year agohttps://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10927772/
Taral Wayne died without a will, and his sister is struggling to deal with the things he's collected and the art he produced. There's a summary at File 770 zine and a link to the sister's contact info (on Facebook, but she's not very active.)
If you'd be interested in having some of his art, contact her.

Sword Stabbing Incident At Offsite AC Hotel?

Ardashir for the link)

1) A factual report. Given AC's position as a major Pittsburgh event, one imagines the news treaded lightly...
2) The mug shot and the reported battle cry suggest that "O'Reilly" was not the perp's birth name... :p

Huge ice chunk smashes through roof of N.J. home
General | Posted a year agohttps://www.nj.com/passaic-county/2024/06/huge-ice-chunk-smashes-through-roof-of-nj-home-causes-major-damage.html
The huge chunk of ice – most likely airplane bio-waste – smashed through a family’s home about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday in the 400 block of East 38th Street in Paterson.
Thereby proving...even if you're not a major strategic target...
You can still be threatened by an icy B.M. 😈

Yust Call Me Shorty....
General | Posted a year agoAs of Thursday morning, I will be one foot shorter (or short one foot)...
Remember, people, IF YA GOTS BEETUS, WATCH YOUR FEET!
On my laptop at the hospital, so I won't be typing much. Right foot had an allergic reaction to cheap beetus socks, and it got Real Bad, Real Fast. The hospital folks are nice, competent and helpful, so things are as under control as possible.
However, I'm not in a position to do much typing, so keep an eye on
Walt46's page for updates.
Wish me luck! I'll need it! :D
