Questions Once Used on Eharmony

The following are three questions I used for a time when I was Eharmony to try to weed out the uninteresting ones. The first one is an inside joke, so I'm not sure the guys would understand it, but I seem to recall this question helping me (to decide not to ever meet anyone).

1. Are you Irish or do you belong to the Vipor club?

2. Tell me about your worst blind date or most embarrassing moment?

3. How do you feel about day drinking?

Some Houses Are Worth Reopening

Nearly twenty years ago, I started this blog. Back then, blogging was just what people did. Somehow, this little corner of the internet survived everything that came after. If you’ve been here before, welcome back. If you’re new here, welcome. Either way, come on in. Evidently this blog and I have reached an understanding. Every few years one of us looks at the other and says, “We’re not done yet.” Over the last twenty years, I hope I’ve changed in all the ways that matter. I also hope I haven’t changed in the ones that don’t. I’ve always been curious. I’ve always loved stories. And apparently, I’ve always been willing to write about my life, sometimes with more honesty than was probably advisable. If you decide to wander through the archives, proceed at your own risk. Those posts span nearly twenty years of my life. They’re an honest snapshot of who I was at the time. Some will make me laugh. Some will probably make me cringe. I’m leaving them exactly as they are. Life, however,...

BRUTAL: Punishably Hard or Uncomfortable

Image
The word "brutal" describes my life and that of my spouse over the last two years.  However, when we have attempted to say how bad things are, it does not resonate with anyone because we do not look the part of two people slogging through the hardest years of their lives.   We are moving back home next month after a little over two years since we started our home remodel in late 2020 and moved out to our temporary home, GRACIOUSLY provided by my father, on February 6, 2021.  We consider ourselves LUCKY, and we have had a TON of HELP from more than a few people, so we are GRATEFUL, but we do not want those feelings to overshadow the full experience. BRUTAL:  I continue to decline physically, and at this point, I have lost about 60-75% of my ability to physically function as a "normal" human. It is hard for everyone, including me, to understand that there is nothing more I can do to help myself over everything I already do, which is OVERWHELMING.  BRUTAL:...

HSCT Non-Responder Life with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis +16 Months through +18 Months

Multiple Sclerosis Confusion Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the most confusing diseases for those who do not have it and even for those who do.  For example, I feel great (always have), don't look like I'm sick (never did), and I'm not in any pain.  However, I am quite disabled by MS. I have a lot of nerve damage from the disease that causes my disabilities.  Each person with MS is unique, a snowflake if you will.  We are all affected by where MS has attacked us.  I have a lot of lesions (nerve damage) on my brain and spine, but mainly have issues with walking and balance. Some people with only a few lesions are more impaired in more ways than I (including, but sadly not limited to, experiencing debilitating pain, fatigue, brain fog, heat intolerance, and the list goes on).  There are people with MS who compete in all sorts of sports (typically those who are diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS) and there are people who cannot get th...
