At the end of June I had a stroke. I had not worked in a while and had no health insurance. I was not sure what I would do. Luckily Williamson County covered me. The first 6 months they took care of $20,000 in healthcare which covered all of my bills including my rehabilitation and home care. Unfortunately I returned for another scare a week later. Two weeks ago I had a toe infection and needed an amputation. Wilco Care took care of me again with $30,000 of coverage. I have been so lucky to live in Williamson County.

I have been posting comics I find on the Internet for years. But I have never had this problem before. Facebook kept me from posting for three days. I couldn’t even post a like. I could understand if this was hate speech, but it seemed to be a harmless cartoon. I know some will cry free speech. Facebook is not the government, so I don’t think they need to be called out for this. However, I did hit the review this button hoping they would realize their folly. Nothing has happened. Is this just there to make you feel good? Or am I just being censored for this? I wonder.

First of all, I love YouTubeTV.  Local channels with some of my favorite cable channels for $50 a month.  They have me.  However, I do have a couple of problems.  You are supposed to be able to allow 6 family members to share YouTubeTV.  This does not work for me.  In addition, I purc hased NBA League Pass.  This does not work.   I have tried to send feedback to YouTubeTV to no avail!  Over a week and nothing.  Suicide may be my only option.  Someone at YouTube please untie the noose from may neck.  TIA.

This is a takeoff of a pizza I used to make years ago at Pizza Inn.  I make it with lean ground beef, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, hamburger pickles, yellow mustard and a cauliflower crust.  Start with a frozen cauliflower crust, which can be found at most grocery stores.  Spread yellow mustard on the crust.  Add shredded Cheddar cheese to the top.  Now add bacon on top.  I put it in the oven at 425 degrees for 12 minutes.  Remove the pizza from the oven.  Shredded lettuce is next on top of the pie.  The hamburger pickles are the last topping.  Cut into slices and serve.

I was having problems with an old Samsung tablet, so I thought I would upgrade.  A new Samsung was out of my price range, so I thought “I will give a Kindle Fire a try.”  I scooted over to Amazon and found a 32 Gig model and bought it.  Two days later I was excited to give it a try but I was met with frustration.  I couldn’t even login to my Amazon account using my current username/password after five or six attempts.  Giving up, I set up a new account just to get the thing to run.  I was then faced with more terrible news.  There were so many apps I could not run.  Chrome, Tinder, Anchor.  Apps that were crucial to my daily life were simply unavailable.  I tried to add Gmail.  I used my username/password and the correct captcha.  The piece of shit does not work.  What the fuck Bezos you troll.  Finally, I had enough.  I went back to Amazon to return it.  Guess what?  It was the first item that I couldn’t return on Amazon!  The nerve!  Please, whatever you do.  Never even think about purchasing this shitpad it is not worth anything.

Woke up tingling
Confused and scared
Frozen by fear
Unsure of the future
Knot in my stomach
Breathing so rapid
Anxiety so high
Must get to bathroom
I am going to die.

Ambulance called
Siren out loud
Questions answered
Strapped in the gurney
Vomit from fear
Joking to lighten
Blood pressure rises
Live afer all.

Zipping through traffic
Breakneck speed
Vitals are tested
Calming down now
Entering emergency
Testing and questions
Down in the bed
Machines that go beep
Mother so scared
Quiet comes now.

Off to the CAT scanner
Rolling down the hall
Fear of the unknown
Noises so weird
Shaken by vibrations
Pink Floyd laser show
Strapped in no motion
Circles of magnets
Scan the brain.

Pee into plastic
Eyes finally close
Told of the bleeding
No surgery now
Drugs applied flowing
Into my arm
God now hold sacred
Even if lied
Nurses are buzzing
Children do cry.

New MRI morning
Pictures to take
Rolled down a hallway
Noises fill the hospital
Lights skip a beat
Other sick pass by
Doors open wide
Sailing past doctors
Back to my room.

Lunch served by Asian
Potatoes are mashed
Gravy is thick
Jello so red
Time for a sleep
First in a while
Blood is drawn
Another test is done.

Haircut is given
Manbun installed
Tablet delivers news
What happened today
Watching the social
Tales of the stroke
Love is outpouring
Friends shed a tear.

 

 

In 1973, I was living in Los Angleles and was 20 months old.  My parents were going to a Christmaa party and needed a babysitter for me.  My Mother’s friend Mary Jane offered a college friend to babysit me.  That babysitter was the great Mark Hamill.  When I was five I went to see my “babysitter’s movie” Star Wars.
