I often hear that men are visual creatures. If that is true, a blind man has a definite advantage over the seeing when it comes to sex. They see with their hands, don’t they? No, I don’t envy them; I don’t want to be blind, but I admire the way in which they adapt to their circumstances.

About 35 years ago, I had a colleague who had a blind wife. Let’s call him Jakes. One day I saw them driving and I noticed what a beautiful woman she was. I remarked about her beauty to another colleague and he laughed and said that only a blind woman could marry Jakes. Only then, I learned that she was blind. Granted, Jakes was not good-looking at all, but I think she saw something else in him.

I’m not going to go into the detail of how it came about, but one day after work, the situation arose that Jakes had to drive somebody home in that person’s own car and I had to follow them in his car. His wife was with me in his car. I did not know where our destination was. The traffic was thick and we were separated from one another. I cursed under my breath but she assured me that it is no problem. She said that she knew where they were going.

‘Big Deal’, I thought, but what a revelation it turned out to be. She started giving directions with detailed landmarks as we went along. She frequently asked for feedback as we drove. I asked her if she remembered all this from before she became blind. She said that she was born blind. Just when I thought we were lost forever, she told me to turn right at the next street corner and I will find Jakes at the fourth house on the left. Jakes was just coming out the house as we stopped in front of the gate.

While Jakes drove me back to my own car, I was amazed once more. As we drove along, he patiently explained to his wife, in vivid detail, everything he saw along the way. The traffic lights, the shops, other cars, pedestrians, trees, and everything else. Sometimes she probed him for more detail like color or size. He was her eyes.


Have a great day!

I'm happy I can wake up each morning and live new challenges., new experiences.
I want to try everything.
I want to see my loved ones happy.
Lets live our lives to the fullest all the time.
We make mistakes and some times we fail.
Lets be positive, learn from our mistakes and keep trying when we fail.

We are all dying so lets live each minute like it's our last.
Don't forget to tell the ones you care for, that you love them.



I messed up tonight, I lost another fight
I still mess up but I'll just start again
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now to see what's next

Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it wrong

I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail

Try everything
Try everything
Try everything

Look at how far you've come, you filled your heart with love
Baby you've done enough that cut your breath
Don't beat yourself up, don't need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last, but we did our best

I won't give up, no I won't give in
Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail

I'll keep on making those new mistakes
I'll keep on making them every day
Those new mistakes

My little apartment is being invaded and as it is, there is not enough space for me. The new invaders, mostly spiders and geckos are driving me up the bend.

I’m not scared of either of them but the geckos leave their droppings on my walls and the spiders spin their webs all over the show. Between removing cobwebs and cleaning my walls, I don’t get much chance do anything else. My sister said it happens every year about this time and the geckos are probably brought by the granadilla plant outside my bedroom window. This is why they do not let the flat to other people. A fine time to tell me about it!

Unlike mice, rats and roaches which I kill on sight, geckos and spiders are on my list of creatures that I don’t kill. Geckos, because I consider them harmless and spiders because they eat flies. Any creature prepared to follow a diet as humble as flies, deserves to live. But enough is enough! Anyway, they are at the wrong place because I seldom have a fly in my house.

But how do I get rid of them without using poison? I don’t like using poison and I fear that my cat may eat one of the poisoned geckos if I start a chemical war. Does this constitute weapons of mass destruction?

So for now I will try to tolerate them but knowing me as well as I do, I will soon get fed up and use action that is more drastic. Hopefully some of them have internet so they can read this blog and leave peacefully on their own accord. Or maybe somebody can reason with them? I would love to resolve this issue without violence.


Stay loose, it is weekend.

Have you been planning how would your Valentines day be like?
How about A Bonfire. If you live in the suburbs, grab some marshmallows, chocolates, and s'mores, then spend the night cuddling up by the fire. ...
Chocolate Tasting and Truffle Making. ...
A Paint and Sip Class. ...
Dancing. ...
Video Games. ...
A Ghost Tour. .
Whatever.
What matter is the thought from each other

So are you looking forward on that day?

This is serious!

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club.
A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk.
Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: “Hello.”

WOMAN: “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”

MAN: “Yes.”

WOMAN: “I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?”

MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.”

WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2005 models. I saw one I really liked.”

MAN: “How much?”

WOMAN: “$90,000.”

MAN: “OK, but for that price, I want it with all the options.”

WOMAN: “Great! Oh, and one more thing …..the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking $950,000.”

MAN: “Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of $900,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand. It is really a pretty good price.”

WOMAN: “OK. I’ll see you later! I love you so much!!”

MAN: “Bye! I love you, too.”

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape…..

Then he smiles and asks: “Anyone know who this phone belongs to?”

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Adam was walking around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked Adam, “What is wrong with you?”

Adam said, “Lord, I don’t have anyone to talk to.”

God said, “Then I will give you a companion, and she will be called a ‘woman’. This person will cook for you and wash your clothes, she will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you’ve had a disagreement. She will never have a headache, and will freely give 'love’ and compassion whenever needed. She will never question your behaviour or the company you keep. She will support you and understand that you have important decisions to make throughout your life and don’t have time for nonsense…”

Adam asked God, “What will this woman cost?”

God said, “An arm and a leg…”

Adam said, “What can I get for just a rib?”

Omg... I have teary eyes... I woke up and found out I had received this video from my beloved vet (He is the most beautiful old man, looks like a salt and pepper Santa... I always tell him he is my "impossible love" and he laughs soooo hard... I also tell him he has to live 200 years, because I don't want anyone else to take care of my babies, and yes, he laughs at that, too )... Anyway, I read a few days ago a thread that said something about posting music that reminded of your parents... Well, this reminds me of my parents, my childhood, my fellow Venezuelans and the deep love for this blessed land... This is a cover of one of the most loved and iconic Venezuelan bands... "Billo's Caracas Boys"... I really have goosebumps or whatever their name is... I LOVE you, Venezuela!... With every single bit of this heart of mine... Thank you, God, for letting me be born as a daughter of the most beautiful place on earth, full of the most beautiful, happy, warm people in this world... I LOVE YOU, Venezuela!...

Somebody I know became a signaler on the railroad. Some time ago he got very drunk after hearing that his father was in hospital. He was still drunk when he woke up the next morning but, having been in trouble about his bad attendance record, he went to work regardless.

I suppose he still smelled of alcohol because he was subjected to a breathalyser test and found to be under the influence of alcohol. He does not say so but it is possible that they had been watching him for a while because he has always been a bit heavy on the bottle.

After being fired, he appealed and managed to be re-instated on the grounds that he had been suffering from depression for years. He got away with being suspended without pay for two months but in addition he was demoted and his personnel file was marked as never to be employed as a signaler again.

Now he learned that the hearing of his case is public record and is posted on the Internet. All this, together with living alone, made him very bitter and at times he drowns himself in alcohol.

At times I feel very sorry for him but then other times, when I see his abrasive attitude to others, I feel he brought it onto himself.

It is not for me to judge him but am I wrong to feel this way?

tiny ear.

her mom took her.
after i become her foster mom.

lil kitty... i will always remember you.
