MOVEMENTS OR TICS.

If you do not know i have movements of the body most of the time its small movements in legs and arms .I have worse what i call movement events when my arm will fly out or legs and arms move with me having no control  yes it is scary but i need to tell you dear reader i have the attitude that i am not the disease am me .

NO HOUSE PHONE.

It seems that no one likes to ring you on your home phone anymore is it due to mobile phones or e-mails .I think this is due that most mobile phones to other mobiles messages are free or cheaper and of course e -mail is  easier to add attachments or photos if required.My wife Enid does not like this as says harder to communicate if you dont  own a mobile.

SHIT HAPPENS.

It seems lately every week some report of a major event is being reported to the point i am beginning to think its the norm .Is it something in the air or a fact of the world we live in is getting a lot darker.
