I do worry about that. I take a lot of precautions and only let certain people into my interior world. Fuller expression is left for writing mainly. And talking politics when I can. I have a lot of kids over here on a regular basis and I don't want parents feeling that their children are...

Just a flower.....with chalk

I especially like the top 2 photos. Really striking. I don't have a black and white to share here, but there are the storm clouds over Denver that mimic the shading.

Hey, I just read some great 'out of the closet' stuff by a couple of very candid (and funny) writers: Neal Pollack has this neat piece on "Pot, Parenting, and Outing Myself" ('The Pot Book' Julie Holland, M.D. editor). He talks about being able to integrate pot into parenting, which is my...

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. But I tried dabs yesterday for the first time. A friend from Afghanistan turned me on. Niiiiicccceeee.

Cut myself out of context, colored in green. Because sometimes there's just one principle. It's natural, it's eternal, its coeval with yourself. It's peace. It's love. It's intelligence. It's just what you see, without any mediating glasses - the ones they give you when they teach you...

Cabbage. Up close and personal. (and fresh and exciting - they had just chopped the heads off that morning; the moisture of the fields is clinging to the tender and fantastically intricately veined leaves) oh and had to add the flowers too. arent' they cool? the pattern in the tablecloth...

Thanks @ataxian. I was stunned when I heard what Angelina Jolie had done. Why would anyone hack away at their body "just in case" (it would save the body?!). It seems so macabre. Let's see.....maybe I'll just rip out my heart _ because that could save me from getting a heart attack. Craziness.

Crossing the Mississippi on the way to Colorado...

Agree with you, @ataxian . I was told to take interferon back when I was first diagnosed (that was 10 years ago or so). I took the box home with me and read carefully about the procedure of injecting myself, then all the possible side effects. Needless to say....I freaked out. I would have...

Well said, @gangababa. Interesting experience with your son! I was recently on the verge of telling mine. I was showing him photos of my recent trip to Colorado and we happened upon the ones of the dispensaries. I went right ahead and told him about how great it was that things were...

I just came out of the closet. I mean, literally, I walked out of my closet. The little girls had me retreating to the claustrophobic comfort of my walk-in, where I could steal some vapor. I still don't feel quite right having to talk about this with the 14 and 9 year olds. So I avoid the...

@VaporsVaporizer, that's empowering to hear. I've been an activist for a number of different causes, all related to one essential theme: social/economic justice. Anti-war, pro-environment, fighting against 'welfare reform' in Wisconsin (they should have named it 'welfare deform' because it...

@CarolKing - so astutely observed. I laughed a little when I read your response because I realized I couldn't even come back to FC almost all weekend (managed to post a picture or two). I've been so busy with kids. I don't know if it's because I put anyone or anything ahead of myself however...

@Captain Comply, have you had a chance to check out Dr. Swank's work? I recall that the remission rate is very high (more than 70% compared to the abysmal - what is it? - 12% for interferon or some of the other drugs). Stats from around the world show a curiously high incidence of MS and other...

This photo came about when I found a tiny bit of Christmas ribbon that was eye-catching. I took it from my smartphone, cropped it to blow it up, changed the background and altered the lighting. When it was finished, I realized how nicely the power of a tiny thing could expand. What was nearly...

@samantabha mod note: Picless posts not allowed.

I was thinking about your very good question "maybe it's not really something that needs to be said" @Quetzalcoatl. I started asking myself why I did want to talk about it and why I think that it might be important for other people (women in this case) to talk about it. What I came up with is...
