I don't know why, but I think I can pin the time pretty close. I was afraid I was going to get sick with a cold, so I took a zinc pill. This was sometime between early 1982 and late 1983. I then, not right away, but within an...

ElicBxn @kaylachan I do fine on six to seven, but, I swear, YouTube shorts are an addiction! You don't know where the time went or how many of them you have watched until you have fallen asleep in your chair!

ElicBxn @DaddyEvil I'm glad to hear the car is fixed. I gave up last year on the washer and got a new one. But it was about 20 years old so... My stomach is so fussy, I just watch out for what I put in it. I am going to see my GI guy in about 12 days. Really,...

ElicBxn @kaylachan I suspect most of them would go out on the catio... BUT, I did get the litter done this morning. It is a wonder what 8+ hours of sleep can do.

ElicBxn @DaddyEvil I also use a cpap. During the big freeze in 2021 we never lost power, but a friend's place was out for a week. Her husband can't even really sleep without his mask so he as a wreck by the time it came back on. Then in 2023 we had a bad ice storm...

ElicBxn @kaylachan since I woke up early I'm going to try to get most of the trash out. I'm running a low fever, but I hate to torment the cats with dirty cat boxes.

ElicBxn @DaddyEvil I went to bed about 9:20. I wasn't sure I'd be asleep by the time my 10 p.m. alarm for medicine would go off. I was. In fact, I was pretty confused when it went off. But I grabbed it and took it, nice thing about liquid medications, you can...

ElicBxn It won't hurt. I decided to check on here before going to bed. Oh, I do need to remind the roommate to bring in the dog.

ElicBxn I just can't. I know if I try to do the trash, which involves cleaning the cat litter and doing twisting and a little lifting, then I will be sick. I decided to not do it. Maybe if I wake up early in the morning I might get some done. But one of the things...

ElicBxn @DaddyEvil I know it is hard to get on disability. In September before I turned 62, I went to the 'local' SS office. The lady learned I had stopped working for the State at 51 and why. She asked me why I didn't want to try to get disability, because I'd get...

ElicBxn @DaddyEvil I can understand that too. I worked the NASFC and did go down for the afternoon to the World Con in San Antonio, but it got to where I only went to cons where I wanted to see a writer or fan run cons - these being more media oriented. I used to...

ElicBxn If you like fantasy, her Valdamar books would be a good place to start. I know there are lots of folks who don't like fantasy and/or science fiction, but I do.

ElicBxn @DaddyEvil I know I've read a few Piers Anthony. I enjoyed them, but not enough to go looking for more of them. I read Night Mare just after the time Austin hosted the NASFC (North American Science Fiction Convention) in 1985. The lead up to the convention...

ElicBxn I'm talking about a book written by a favorite writer. The roomie has read the first one who knows how long ago, but early in the first book the person who the story is about was reading about a historical figure who she wasn't quite sure was a real person....

ElicBxn I have a lot. I'm afraid some of the more recent ones, the founding ones and maybe one of the last spy ones are in the roommate's room. I have Feuds, the short stories... I'm about half done with it. I have collected writers over the years. So far, I've...

ElicBxn @BarBaraPrz way back in the mid 2010s a stink bug got in my bedroom. I thought it didn’t smell bad but the cats did. On the other hand, my nose is a bit broken - as in I don’t have the best sense of smell.

ElicBxn @DaddyEvil we were worried about the bird because it had been flying around since at least 3 and the only thing it might have been able to eat were a few tiny bugs. I know that hummingbirds do eat bugs but it had spent so much energy trying to get out is why...
