- About Me:
- After serving twenty years in the military and spending over ten years overseas, Korea and Panama, I served my last five years ('90-'95) at Pope AFB, NC. Now that I have been retired since April 1, 1995, I can look back and make since of why my last years in the military were filled with resentment and apprehension. Let me explain my story. Prior to coming to North Carolina, I was stationed at Howard AFB, Panama. After Operation "Just Cause", I was given a short notice assignment to Pope AFB in February 1990. While at Howard, I felt a strong since of pride and camaraderie toward my peers and superiors. First, let me explain something. Prior to returning to the States in 1990, I had been overseas for seven years straight, three years in Korea and the next four at Howard AFB, Panama. Being stationed overseas gave me a since of accomplishment, a clear perspective of my role and purpose in the whole scheme of things. Our job was clear and simple, refueling aircraft, maintaining massive fuel storage plants to keep our fighters in the air.
Under combat conditions, fear was overcome with adrenaline and determination to complete each mission. Returning to the States , after seven years, was a big letdown. What does this have to do with Depression, you ask? Well, at the time, I didn’t know what depression was. After years of serving my country with all of the adversities placed my way, I realized that, through the fast pace regiment of my career, I didn’t have time to be depressed. I just recently released my first self-published book which is based on my life, through poetry. When I assembled this work of art, I didn’t know where I was going with this story. After I received a few independent reviews of this endeavor, and reading the fruits of my works, I finally realized how depressed I have been most of my life.
Semmaster’s Thoughts are a series of poems partitioned by the emotional reflections of a man who has finally taken control of his body, mind and soul from the demons within. The Great Master has awakened my senses to the sweet smells, sounds and sights of a literary world full of the essence, verbal expressions and visions that has long been ascending from gut to mouth to paper, the truth as it reflects the path I must trek to enter into the Mansion of The Creator.

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
