I told my acquaintance that I feel like a stuffed sausage! He said "All the more of you to love!"
I replied: "Like the rap songs say "them curves are kickin!"

"I'm 33% better today!"
As you know I've suffered extreme sleep deprivation since 1975. I figure, if I do sleep one night, as I did last night, then I am doing 33% better!
Normal people spend 8 hours sleeping which is 1/3 of their day. Last night I slept about 8 hours, so I reckon that's 33% better then on the nights where I don't sleep.
I'm hoping this good trend continues!

"People are strange, when you're a stranger"
So, there will be a free movie shown tonight, documentary. I overheard a woman in the library say that she will go. I asked her if she lived near me, as i need a ride home.
Instead of simply saying that it is out of her way, she began advising me on what weapon i should carry!
She asked me if I have a stun gun and said "My daughter carries a pistol!"
I said: PLEASE! I AM NOT ASKING YOU FOR WEAPON ADVICE, I SIMPLY NEED TO HITCH A RIDE HOME!

Amazing intervention in the psych. hospital
Much of what I see in these psychiatric hospitals are plenty of techs who are incompetent, or just there to collect a paycheck and ignore the patients.
But there were a few techs and a few nurses who were stellar.
One day , 24 y.o. Nate* went into a frenzy and demanded his medicine. I thought he might be schizophrenic but on my last day in the hospital he said that he was beaten by 2 men and brain damaged. He speaks nonsense most of the time. He began secreaming and cussing and then challenged the tech, James* to "put up your dukes!" He physically went after james while cussing and screaming. James* being one of the techs who is just their to collect a paycheck, went into the nurses station laughing. I see nothing funny about this at all.
Then Nate went after Charles the 53 year old who looks 75, and has the mental competency of maybe a 1 year old. Charles was terrified and ran, he continued to relive and retell the story in the coming days.
Nurse Louann* is the one who stunned me with the beautiful intervention.
She went over to Nate looked him in the eye and gently took his hands. She asked him: "May I give you a hug?!"
He said: YES!
She embraced him for a while, and spoke calmly in his ear.
All I can say is wow; sometimes practicing peace really works!

"Not Mr. Roger's neighborhood"
Yesterday on my walk to the grocery store i saw just one cyclist out. When i got to the grocery store there were 2 cop cars in the park. lot and very few customer cars.
I looked over at the 2 cops and in the center of them was a 4 foot mechanized santa claus! I'ts times like these i wish i had a pwerful camera! The manager (who has never been a very nice guy) said something about the customer tossed eggs at him and then tried to run. The mgr. said he tackled the guy to the floor. The employees were trying to decide whether the guy should be allowed back in the future.
On the way to trying to find a place with a working shower, and then home; again a long walk, i saw a very suspicious young man running at breakneck spped. He had some object in his hands. He jumped into the yellow cadillac getaway car into the passenger seat and the car sped away!
Today, at the doctor's office (who said that i'm not in their computer with an appt.) 2 sheriffs walked in with 2 prisoners both shackled at their hands and their feet.
Never a boring moment guys, NEVER A BORING MOMENT.
