"It's ethics!" Debra said. "Oh, bullshit. You are a Doctor, why in the hell should I have to go see a different one and pay them when I have you right here?" I was feeling a bit crabby at that. It was going to cost me the Medicare co-pay. "Danny, even if I did see you I would have to bill you, the system I work for would insist on that." "Hell, that's lik...
An NSFW story about two old married people. He has always gotten up when he wakes in the morning because his back hurts after any more than about 4 or 5 hours. He goes to bed around one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. He is a successful potter, painter, gardener, and a writer-editor. He has been retired for 9 years, is 75 and has had a stent on h...
After I had finished my 2nd year in college for Nursing, I was lucky to get a 4-month stint in the local hospital as a Nursing Assistant and paid peanuts for my time. In effect it was not much more than a glorified candy striper. Heaven knows how a person is ever going to get any practical experience without doing the work and learning the ropes. But if...
I really knew Morty Abel for just a short time. He joined a running group that I coached. I am a corporate trainer and as a result spend an inordinate amount of time traveling. So, I run where I can and coach for a local running store on weekends. Morty showed up one day in an old sweat shirt, baggy sweat pants and "sneakers". He said he wanted to learn how...
Bogart and Bacall It was still dark in the room when Alvin got out of bed. Looking out the window, he saw a magenta glow on the horizon. He went to the bathroom, then pulled on his robe and made his way slowly down the stairs. One step at a time, he thought, ain't that a pisser? He started the coffee maker, although he didn't enjoy his morning cup as much...
My face went scarlet when Debra looked at me and asked the question. "Are you Magmaman?" She had a grin on her face. Busted. The last thing in the world I wanted was anybody who knew me to find out that I sit around the house and write naughty stories and post them online. Well, probably not very naughty compared to some I read online but still. Sure, so...
Some of you asked via email about where I have been. Let's just say that we old men should stay OFF of Harley Davidson trikes. *LOL* Maybe I will write THAT disaster later. I really do hate hospitals. This short tale is my wife Debra's fault. +++ There is nothing unique about my needing to train a new Doctor. Around here, physicians are in what I call "...
I was swinging a double bitted axe, trying to knock the wedge I had just cut with my chainsaw out of a tree I was falling. The trees had grown up tall enough that they were blocking off sunlight in the afternoons to my garden spot. Since they were Alder, several of them had taken a nasty lean. I knew that Alder that has the sap up in the spring likes to spl...
To all, Due to a request, I am breaking out a parallel series about the colonies. I want to show how the individual lives have been affected and how they survive and adapt. Any aliens, real or imagined in this story are purely a construct of my twisted and warped mind. I thank everyone so much for reading my stories and hope you continue enjoying them....
Whitney Carlson stepped off the plane in St. Louis. She was there to meet with Sandra Bridgeman, her friend and one time college roommate. Only the day before Whitney had driven Sandra to the airport in Atlanta for her flight home. Sandra had called late the evening before to tell her Thomas, Sandra's husband of 22 years, had filed for divorce and moved out....
