I sure hope you're wrong, but if not, I hope life sends you out full of happiness.

In twenty years, I see myself...doing something.

I see you barbecuing and golfing with your friends from the Country Club, the Bushes. You know, just like these days.

As soon as Debbie is home it will more-than-likely be my turn for a lengthy hospital stay

Wishing you both healthier times...

I hear ya about sore throats. I've had a polyp removed and it was not pleasant in the least.

I wonder if that's where I'm headed some day. How long were you in the hospital? and How long before you recovered?

I wished it was something as simple as a polyp, But it may be something far worse (It may be esophagal cancer or a esophagal cyst. I choke daily when I eat and I am in physical pain constantly...Now the pain is starting to be rather discomforting in the back of my neck leading to some major headaches...Feel like I have been headbanging too often like in my ol' days )

Since Debbie's insurance is through her employer it would cost too much to cover me on her policy (eg-$300-$400 a month...Her current hospital bill is in excess of over $100,000) but my new future employer (It sure as HELL not Wal-#$%^&*-Mart!!!) has a great health insurance policy...And that is all I am looking for.

Th crap some folks have to deal with. I can't imagine having to deal with chronic pain in addition to the every day aggravations of life.

Living where?

Either in a beautiful Victorian in San Francisco, or residing in the city of musicians: Austin, Texas

Family?

Of course, a husband! Maybe a child, but I don't think so.

Career?

A bestselling novelist! That, or a studio musician or an animator, or an art historian.

Hobbies

Traveling all over the place, going to the shows at the theatre, going to art exhibits, art collecting, enjoying music, going to charity balls, and reading lots of books!

Accomplishments?

Helped with many charites
Entertained the world with my prose (or songs, or cartoons)
Lived a wonderful life
And still married the same man

~~

I am a hopeless dreamer with all that... but there's still hope for it happening!

God bless!

Nothing wrong with dreaming.

I loved living in Austin for 5+ years.

I regret not taking more art history classes back in the day. I might take more still. I think the older you get, the more important adding that kind of beauty to your life becomes.

I think you can add "annoyed people" to "whatever else in between."

Writing jingles? Yeah, I can see you doing the Quiznos songs.

How do you look in a hamster suit?

Well, yeah, I guess that could be my problem--I want too much! I'm one of those really annoying people who refuses to settle.

But I've already made some progress on reaching my goals--I'm in the process of buying a vacation place-oceanview condo--it's not oceanfront--but it's close enough for me! I only live 70 miles from the coast anyway--so I think I'll get to spend a good deal of time there eventually so the dream of living by the ocean isn't so far-fetched after all.

And I already get paid to write for a living--and I get paid more than I ever thought possible--it's just not fiction. But hey, that's a dream right there--to get paid and get paid well, for what you love to do.

The toughie is the romance part. I work impossibly long hours, and often 7 days a week. It just does not leave me with enough time or energy to do much of anything else.

Maybe one day I'll finally be able to put it all together. I'll probably be too old then to appreciate it though. . . .

Need romance? I can be your very own personal Mac gigolo. Just fly me out to your new vacation home, bring me to Mac concerts & meet-and-greets, and feed me well, and I promise, the flowers are on me.
If I can help just one person fulfill her dreams (and get free Mac tix in the process), well, all I can say is, Isn't this why we were put on this earth? Forgive me, I'm getting all teary.

That's why I have more grey hair now than I did last summer (If gets worse I will have the same hair style as Richard Wright of Pink Floyd, Rather be grey than bald!!!)...I guess I could always abuse alcohol, smoke or turn to drugs to be able to function & deal with life, But nahhhh....

I know. And where the hell do these people find the money for that crap? It's a struggle just to pay for basic universal necessities such as food, shelter, health care, and Mac concerts.
