I think I need to have a come to Jesus meeting, with God. I've held up my end of the deal often going above and beyond what was necessary. Not just to be a good daughter, but a good person, and hopefully a good Christian. I know I'm an excellent worker, yet he struck me with one serious illness after another until I had to stop working. I don't want to be disabled; I damn sure don't want a handout. But if God isn't going to allow me to collect SSD, then he needs to step up to the plate and find me a decent job.
There has obviously been a mistake, God seems to think I am to be a modern day Job. Lest you think I exaggerate, in the last 3 years I have been stricken/blessed with: vulvar cancer, Meniere's disease, uterine fibroids the size of North Dakota, diverticulosis, psoriasis - not on my elbows like most people, but on my scalp, ears, and nose. FYI - When you get psoriasis on your scalp, it takes out your hair. You could say I'm irked, but that really doesn't do my current emotional state justice. Speaking of my emotional state, I seem to be fighting a never ending uphill battle against major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.
Did I mention that dad's Parkinson's has kicked into overdrive, seemingly overnight. Mom's doctor says she is in the early stages of dementia. Which means that I am now a caregiver to my adult parents. It SUCKS for all of us in different ways, at different times. For me it's like living with 80 year old toddlers. Willfull, spoiled, adult size toddlers. Occassionally I worry that I will get some great job in Atlanta and have to hire people to chauffer and care for my parents. However, with the economy in the crapper, and double digit unemployment rates, not just in Carroll County but in the entire state of Georgia, it seems I am putting the cart before the horse.
This is not how my life was supposed to be. I was supposed to be married with a few kids, a dog, and a house in the burbs by now.

Get'n Gas !!
- From: onetopp
-
Description:
History has given Bowser credit for inventing the gas pump, but what Bowser tried to invent was a better way to pump water from a well. His invention wasn’t strong enough to draw water from such a depth, but when applied to shorter distances it was a success. Bowser applied his principles to small pumps that were badly needed in country stores and anywhere that kerosene was sold. This was during a time when very little gasoline was being used, as the automobile had still not been invented. The 1892 introduction of the Durea automobile and the growing popularity of automobiles brought changes to the pump industry. As gasoline sales increased following the turn of the century, Bowser built a gas pump for general stores. Bowser grew rapidly and became a very large corporation with branches all over the world. Bowser also diversified, making hundreds of products besides gas pumps. At the end of World War II, Bowser found itself in financial trouble and began offering gas pumps at lower prices.

Description:
The patch on the lady's vest states "Wanted ... More Bikers in Heaven" It was taken in the local "Toys for Tots" Parade last year. Guess that says it all!
Every December, the Marines have a "Toys for Tots" parade here in Tallahassee that usually starts at the local HD store that proceeds around 30 miles or so to a local restaurant to benefit the unfortunate kids that the parents don't really have enough money to purchase decent toys for them. The "price" to participate in the parade is a new unwrapped toys that the local bikers contribute for the cause. I've participated in the last several years, and it's pretty much the highlight (for me anyway) of the riding season. This past year there were almost a thousand local bikers participating ... though an official count is always difficult to determine. This is the staging area at the HD dealership and in this photo it's not even half of all the riders that joined in. This year's parade is going to be held on December 13th, and bikers from all over North Florida, south Georgia and Alabama try to join up to make it a success. If anyone is interested in participating this year, just drop me a personal message and I'll give all the pertinent information. Cagers (cars) are also welcome.

Return to Motorcycling
- From: mhanlen

Description:
In January of 2009, after retiring in July 2008, I decided I need to get a new motorcycle after not having one for over 10 years. I bought a Star Silverado 1700, and put 16,700 miles on it by September going on road trips. At that point I wanted more, and went back to the brand I learned to ride on - Triumph. I traded the Star in on a Rocket III, and I now have my dream bike. Slowly getting her ready for my first planned road trip - June of 2010 will head for California to Ride Highway 1 along the coast from north of LA to San Francisco.
