Has there ever been a year that you wish you had just skipped? Well, for sure 2012 is one for the books for me and mine.
Hubby had not ever fully recovered from heart valve surgery back in 2008 ... the same year that I found myself in a Rehab Center having had my replaced hip removed and needing to rid myself of an infection that had settled in.
For the better part of 2012 my hubby's health deteriorated to the point where he weighed a mere 104 lbs. and was pretty much confined to home. I, on the other hand, had suffered a stress fracture in my lower back that made it necessary for me to take to the wheelchair for 8 weeks ... still trying to take care of hubby's needs.
In early October it was necessary for hubby to be hospitalized and then admitted to a rehab center where we lost him on October 19.
The year has been a bummer.
Hubby is no longer in pain ... he is in a much better place. He is missed constantly.
When funnies aren't funny anymore
Being from the old school when we would almost fight for the Sunday Comic section, I'm becoming more and more disappointed with the direction that the 'funnies' are going today.
It's OK to get serious sometimes and bring a little compassion and morals into a strip, but I think I can count on one hand the number of comic strips that are truly comic.
Aside from that, I notice that the Comic Section is getting smaller and smaller both in content and print size. I almost have to get my full page magnifier to read what is printed in the balloons.
With the state of our nation being so depressed right now, I think this is the right time to start being 'funny in the funnies' again.
