Love to find period correct items for my 1889 Victorian house. Interested in indie music, dogs, cats, art, fashion, and technology. I’m a behavioral psychologist who finds a way to make positive change in other’s lives but who’s own life is a mess.

Home from the hospital as of last night. My little man Bruce stuck to me like glue. I think he missed me. The hospital is no place for healing and rest, so far I can already tell I’ll be fine, given time, support, and proper pain management.
A grey Mini Schnauzer with a puppy haircut lays on my lap staring up at me with dark eyes and nose. His long black eyelashes are substantial even though they have been trimmed at the groomer.

I have had a very tough week. I went in to surgery on Tuesday to fully remove my right eye and to get margins that would eliminate the sarcoma that was taking over. It was successful, my brain was untouched, and I am out of ICU and should be home Saturday. Hoping that I am finally rid of this.

A really nice evening at the DePaul basketball season tip off celebration. If you are in Chicago, come out to Wintrust Arena sometime, these women can play ball! Don’t worry, the men’s team got a turn 😀

I think New Zealand has the most beautiful money — both aesthetically & because each note honors a native bird: Hoiho/Yellow-eyed Penguin ($5) Whio/Blue Duck ($10) Kārearea/NZ Falcon ($20) Kōkako ($50) & Mohua/Yellowhead ($100). Are there any other beautiful currencies you think can compete with NZ?

Tomorrow (19th September) is #TalkLikeAPirateDay and your annual reminder that when we talk the way we talk when we're talking like a pirate, it's because of a film that was based on a book, inspired by an earlier book, inspired by a real life pirate from #Orkney! ARRR! 🏴‍☠️👇

Chicago is the only city I know of that sets rail tracks on fire in the winter because it’s too cold, and gets bridges stuck in the “up” position due to heat in the summer. I won’t even talk about pavement buckles.

Four small ink paintings
Photo of four 25mm (about one inch) round ink paintings resting on a wood board with a small paint brush for scale. Three paintings are on roughly cut squares of paper: a portrait of a blue jay, a crow-like crested bird that is mostly blue with white and black face markings; a painting of three fly agaric mushrooms on a green background; and a painting of a pink and yellow rosy maple moth on a blue background. The fourth painting has been set in a round wood frame with a glass cabochon and has a metal loop on the top for hanging or wearing.

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."
SEXY SECRETS OF DOILY PARTON'S 
UMO DRIVER-HE USED TO BE A SHE 
DOLLY PARTON is being chauffeured around 
Hollywood by a 300-lb. transsexual who 
has had an operation to change from a 
woman into a ian. The country queen 
shares 44-year-old Jason Pirro's secret" 
and has promised to help the obese, 
tuxedo-outfitted driver attain his goal 
to become a movie director. 
"Dolly has been good to me," Jason told 
STAR. "I'm not real coafortable talking 
about ayself. Dolly knows all about me 
and is a very nice lady. "Whenever Dolly 
coaes into Hollywood for a aeeting, or 
for business, or for filaing, or just 
staying here, she calls ae and I drive 
her around." 
Court papers obtained by STAR show Pirro 
legally changed his naae froa Susan Ann 
to Jason in 198B because of "sex-
reassignaent.* Jason underwent a sex-
change operation in 1982. 
Jason, who has a beard and wears his 
thinning reddish-brown hair in a 
ponytaiI, caae to Hollywood 10 years ago. 
At the time, he was taking hormone 
tablets and dressing as a «an. He got a 
job as a lino driver. 
Dolly has said that there's nothing wrong 
with transsexuals. "If I were a nan I'd 
be a drag queen," she admits. "1 enjoy 
being a trashy dresser and 1 love gaudy 
things. I love to play with hair and 
makeup." 
Jason studied theater as a coed at 
Syracuse University, but after eight 
years at college. left without 
graduating. Despite chat, Jason has a 
genius-level I.Q. of 144. 
A fasily friend says Susan was in her aid -
30's when she decided to have doctors 
transfora her into a ian. "Jason has 
tried to sake the family feel comfortable 
with the situation. Even by the time he 
started to grow facial hair and his voice 
was getting deeper, if we'd slip and call 
him Susie, he'd just hug us and say, 
'That's OK." 
"He's a loving warm, caring human being. 
He teaches transcendental meditation. He 
has never had an enemy. People just take 
a liking to him. He has that …

Hoping for clear skies later so we can add a new #SolarEclipse photo to our collection. Like this one that Tom Kent took 114 years ago of a solar eclipse over Kirkwall #Orkney in April 1912. Taken 2 days after the sinking of the Titanic. Archives are amazing. ❤️

It’s that time of year again, Chicago folks of a certain age - if you know, you know. It’s too bad this isn’t a thing anymore. The kids in my family used to fight over the free pencil that came in the “Back to School” box of Jay’s potato chips. Not my pic, it was sent to me.
Two Jay’s potato chips pencils, white round wood pencils with the Jay’s logo repeated along with the words “popcorn” and “potato chips”. By the eraser end is the slogan “Can’t stop eating ‘em”

I admit I still have a 30 pin cable or two as well as the iPods and phones that used them. Also a FireWire cable for the original iPod, which is still floating around. All this e-waste is probably worth some money at this point. I think the only phone I didn’t save is the old Motorola bag phone.
