inveigled into introducing a sharp implement into the area just below
my right shoulder blade.
"Whilst the implement may not be in your hand, it is attached by the
deed both to the wound it causes, and to the hand that caused it"
thanks a lot,

Least I could do.
I'm not sure however, I have some un certainty, exactly whose hand is
not on the instrument.
Judy. I like you.
I'm not so web focused lately.
I still have rainbows in my front room from a light catcher however.
I'm sorry to hear about this instrument imbedded in your shoulder.

Not as bad as last time but still an issue bending over or standing up
too fast.
I ate three peaches so far today from the tree i the yard, ate two ears
of corn, one grape from the grape vines, currently boiling some small
potatoes in some kinda juice I concocted with the intent of eating them
with a grilled cheese tomato sandwich.
I have a great Tomato out there on the window sill.
But I changed my mnd, and instead of steaming off the water I dropped a
chicken piece on top.
Solid frozen. Might be a thigh or a breast fragment.
Its steaming on top of the potatoes. Not a one is as large as a Golf
Ball...small potatoes.
I'm doing this with a caste Iron fry pan, small one, with a second caste
Iron fy pan as its lid.
Works great.
Caste iron is great for cooking.
My big caste Iron fry pan has a caste Iron lid. I'm really proud
possessing such a wonderful cooking device.
I put a lt of "no salt spicing" in the wate/oil.
Main ingrediant is soy grits.
Fascinating. Its all a big experiment.
Then again its like being a gardner, constant expermenting, or a
personal hobby cook, constant experimentation.
as a guitarist, I am constantly experimenting with the instrument.
Hello? I was away.
I stood up too fast and placed my hand on my rump as I crouched my way
down the hallway to the kitchen.
Sciatica.
Sciatica is a pain in the ass, you know this?
It is. Thats what it is.
So it was a pain in the ass, Judy, but I went and got it..here...
its called "all purpose salt free seasoning"
Contents:
Soya grits
Paprika
onion powder
curry powder
spices (?)
garlic powder
citric acid
The water has all steamed out and now its all sitting on some olive oil.
I movedthe potatoes to one side and took the chicken off em and set it
down skin side in the oil.
Turned the heat down.
Pain in the ass..dang.
I felt it coming on these past few days so its no surprise. See how long
a vist it has with me.
I bought some fanc onion of which I know nothing about. Its pearly white
almost.
Maybe I should cut up the tomatoe and onion and gob em up with too much
mayonaise, heh?
I haven't eaten but twice of those two poundsof catfish, frozen, I
bought a while agoon sale...two dollars a pound, cheap cheap.
I quckly learned, through experimentation, that you put fish in a
baggie, with only a little space left open for the steam to get out, you
nuke em.
And they nuke in the nuke box in less then three inutes from frozen.
Some people still don't know that a nuke box is a microwave. Imagine?
Spices the contents says.
Gosh....
And it says curry powder too which can be greatly varied in spice
content itself.
Curry is a mix of spices.
Each brand has different proportions.
Indian Crry is ot rientl (chines) curry powder.
What kind of implement is stuck in your back?
I smellsomething burning, I better run back to the kitchen.
I NEVER skin a potatoe.

seasoning, and put in two garlic cloves cut in half.
Then I took a knife and stabed the potatoes, not deep, maybe just a
quarter inch deep so the "broth" would be able to seep in better.
Two shallow stabs per potatoe. Remember these are small potatoes smaller
then a golf ball.
Irish people are allowed to stab potaoes.
Besides they were already numb and didn't scream or yell at me or
anything.
Then I boiled em.
The chicken was an after thought.
Now I hafta run to store and get some beer.
I turned the heat way down, it'll be safe.
The water is all gone and the chicken skn is crisping very nicely in the
olive oil.
Chicken and potaoes are both seemingly very happy at meeting their
predestined fate as their transmigration to their next reinarnation
begins.

We have an idea about how we are and who we are to each other.
Thank you for concern about my being a war veterasn.
Indeed I was/am....
But the respect part I puzzel at.
It was something that happened to me more then it was something I did.
Most honest veterans will agree.

that I came home with a war story I could recocile myself to.
It was pure luck.
God bless our boys in Iraq and let them get back as lucky as I was.
You don't wanna die is all...and sometimes that effects your judgement.

My friend, and me, we hadda stayed togther because of a possible violent
situation.
Both near sixty years old.
I won't get into details.
He didn;t make it home.
It took me many years to get home.
I told him I prayed for him to find a way.
He has an issue about his behavior in the war. We have opened up to each
other about the war.
Pray for this old man, that he finds his way home.
It took me maybe twenty years.....
Pray he finds a way past his experiance so that he can forgive himself.
We've had a few experiances together. Good man.
He was bouncer in a local bad for a while.
He's a bad ass. Love him and sincerely ask you pray he finds a way home.
It took me maybe twenty years to get home.
Yeah....sixty tears old and we stood in a violent situation, together,
just last week.
Thankfully we didn't need to get three dimensional.
In fact? As he sat on his harly I told him to wait a minute.
I told him I might need him......
Shit I've done that all my life and I am in awe of the men who followed
me.
Even in the war.
Don't go, I need you.
Still sends shives though my spine.
Who the fuck am I that I contol men in the face of violence,
combat??!!??
I did it just last week.......
I ain't wasting no man, I need em, I tell em, they come with me....
I took maybe eight men to certain hell and brought em all back out,
bullets flying everywhere, pain from the velocity, bloody hell......
They did what I said and no body died and we scared the freak out of the
enemy.
I'm just a pussy today.
I have no right.
My friend did however, stay.
All I said was don't go I may need you.
While he sat on his harley.
He stayed.....
I hope he gets hom before he dies......
GOD...by my gesture I saw men willingly face near certain death.
I got us all out alive. They were smart to listen to me.
Or there would have been terrible puddles of blood all around.
Very close combat......
Pray for my friend.
Highly decorated veteran he is,,,,,
We mighya gone to war last week....
He knew I was on a thread and we hadda go it and I called him on it.
Thats how it was in the war too....
They..men..ah...follow me in combat.

And I am fully resposible at those times.
Its a wonderful experiance,
I beliee I said, don't start your bike, I might need you.
And he knew it meant possible force, violence.
I swear he had no choice.....
I meant full forward.
We did good.
Good soldiers both. At sixty.

It was a few weeks ago, in the dark.
I was half asleep on my bed, on my back, when it happened.
It was very sharp, felt glassy-ish
I wouldn't have thought about it otherwise, but it was niggling me.
Maybe a shard broke off.
I don't know whose hand is not on the implement neither.

Somebody said recently that glucasamine was supposed to be helpful for
sciatica.
Over here, there are these stretchy stick on gel patches that last for
about 8 hours or so.
They also contain menthol and horsechestnut.
Someone who tried the patches said they were quite helpful.

I use a fork on them.
To ensure that they are ready for mashing.
Some people I know then mash them with a fork.
But we tend to use a purpose built device called a masher.
