Likely being groomed to become a professional baker. There were several
bakers in my Mom's family back in Milwauee. Lots of work and early
hours. But the place sure smells good during working hours...

And that little job caused me to ignorantly be called a "coffee pourer"
which led to "waitress" and Gilmer expanded it to "career waitress".
Ken has me being a "truck stop whore giving blowjobs for tips in the
back parking lot".
Do you know the Garguiles?

I have been...more than once. Not fun.
LOL. And, he makes English fun. :)
I prefer plain talk with a few words thrown in like "bodkin". I have
often used a form of one but didn't know that was what it was called.

Not sure what that means. I fought Gilmer with the truth for quite
awhile. I finally decided to give up. He could lie faster than I could
counter him with the truth. It's like that. Liars have no boundaries.
Honest people are limited.
I know the things I did wrong...every step of the way. I just didn't
know what/who I was dealing with at the time and my judgment wasn't good
because my life was falling apart everywhere I looked. Turned out the
one I thought was helping me the most, was causing me the most problems.
And when I came to a fork in the road, I chose to take the most
difficult one for reasons I can't reveal...now. I didn't seem to be
able to turn around and back out. Tried. But here I am now and I'm
using this opportunity to vent and get things in Google Archives that I
intended to put on a webpage. With the volume of emails from Gilmer to
wade through, I just couldn't get my heart into it, read his crap again
and get a webpage organized that wasn't bigger than all of Wikipedia. I
didn't think Gilmer deserved that kind of attention because what would
be humiliating to most people is a big opportunity for him to perform
still more for his "audience".
And I appreciate

I know Seattle has some great healthcare -- Virginia Mason,
Swedish...helicopters take people everyday from here to Harborview --
but so far I get mine close to home, mostly in Silverdale but also in
Bremerton. I haven't been hospitalized so not sure about Harrison's
quality. They do heart surgery over here now. I think computers help
keep everybody connected so even small places have access to big city
information. My oncologist seemed to be on the cutting edge of cancer
treatment....not that I've really had any treatment....just frequent
blood work, x-rays and several full body scans. I should have had chemo
but there would be a big risk for me so we opted for Watch and Wait.
Glad I did. It's been 5+ years now and things are on hold. Follicular
Lymphoma and Bone Marrow Cancer are nothing like what you have. I don't
have much to fear. But I sure was scared in the beginning. Guess who
decided to disappear when he got the news.
I'm going to the bakery Saturday morning to try out the cinnamon rolls.
My Mom used to make them from scratch. She and Dad and I would eat
nearly the entire pan as soon as they were cool enough to handle.
YUMMMMM... I used to bake a lot but never made them myself. I'm not
about to start now....Manette, here I come. ;')
The rain and wind have really beat up my flowers. What a season it's
been this year. Tomatoes have blossoms. I planted them from seed and
they were slow getting started because if was cold. I haven't had to
water them much...they grow in a big container.
