There was a bully by the name of Gary. He was the good old fashioned type who tried to intimidate anyone who would show any weakness. I met him in grade school. He was about twelve years old as was I.
One day he was pitching softball in gym class. He made a slow pitch game into his own fast pitch game and started throwing balls at everyone's heads who came up to bat.
He had a lot of kids scared to death. He threw punches to our stomachs and heads. I was sick to my stomach with fear and he didn't even have me as a primary target.. No one hit back.
He was like a blond haired, skinny monster who kept getting scarier and scarier as the school year went on.
The day of reckoning did come for Gary. He decided to challenge a really tough kid who was not a total bully but a sometime bully who was a savage fighter.
Gary told everyone he was not afraid of Jerry and wanted to meet him at the park to have a fight. The day of the fight came and it seemed that about 200 kids showed up to watch. There was nothing much to see. Gary went at Jerry fists flying swinging out of control. Jerry just stood still, blocked a few punches and grabbed Gary by the throat. Jerry hit him in the nose sending Gary spinning and Gary was beaten immediately. He backed up but he couldn't get away from the charging Jerry..
Jerry caught him and then put him in a headlock and hit him in the face with about eight brutally hard, perfectly placed uppercuts. Gary's face looked like it had gone through a meet grinder. His nose and mouth were bleeding heavily as Jerry finally let screaming Gary out of the headlock.
Jerry stood there, having hardly gotten a workout smiling at Gary. He didn't even smile with cocky pride. Gary was to lame to even be counted as a worthwhile victory for Jerry..
The kids all walked away mumbling about how really tough Jerry was and mumbling I told you soh's about what a chickenshit piece of crap Gary really was. The question was why had anyone ever let Gary shove them around? The answer was obvious.
Everyone was afraid to stand up to Gary .

Kindergartener Kicked In The Balls
My first day of school which was about about 60 years ago. I remember crying and screaming as my mother dropped me off at kindergarten. I walked toward the entrance timidly when she left me at the entrance with a bunch of other kids who were also just starting school.
A boy named Larry walked up to me and said "hi". I'm Larry. I said hi back. He then asked me "have you ever been kicked in the balls"? I said "no". He then kicked me right in my 5 year old nuts. I started to cry hysterically from the pain and the shame.
I used to see Larry each day and avoided him for the entire 8 years I was in grade school. I tried to get out of going back to school the next day. by telling my mom I was scared of Larry. She said "don't worry honey, just stay away from bad boys like that".
Larry wasn't even one of the cool kids or tough kids I later discovered.. He was just a kid who felt like he could get away with bullying me and he was right.
I am still angry at him. I am angrier at myself.

Bullied For Life
I started to write down the names of all the people who have bullied me, both physically and psychologically, in my life and I realize that I could write forever about those experiences. It all started when I was a very little boy. I was afraid to fight back when I was harassed and soon everyone had my number. Even though I was popular and a good athlete bullies would find me and pick up on my vulnerability.
So, eventually at school, in the playground, at a party or the movies, anywhere at all, a bully would test me and see that I would not stand up for myself. So, besides the shame and disgrace I felt then I would have to constantly be fearful of being around that guy. Hyper vigilance and constant anxiety became the cornerstones of my existence.
I am now 65 years old and things have not changed except the ages of the people who test me to see if I will become their victim. I can still be easily intimidated if a bully knows what to say or do to get in my head.
I have used so much mental energy analyzing myself because of the continual shame and repulsion I have felt that even after being in therapy, taking medicine, engaging in cognitive behavior therapy, and sharing my innermost thoughts about my terribly damaged ego and lack of self esteem I cannot seem to get any lasting relief.
I am constantly in fear of events occurring that I cannot control but feel I must react to..Threats. A neighbor playing loud music, a dog barking nearby that is creating a disturbance, a bully in the street I see taking advantage of someone who cannot defend themselves, or any other situation where I feel that I will have to stand up and walk through the wall of fear to confront the bully.
I am either afraid to act and do nothing and afterward will torture myself for cowardliness. Or, I face the fear and confront a person I think is a bully for the wrong reasons. I often end up not accomplishing my objective of resolving the problem but exacerbate it. Sometimes, I do solve my perception of a bullying problem only to have another similar situation quickly appear.
Long ago I learned to face fear even if it is not justified. I just need the release of facing the fear that I could not face when I was a little boy. I learned how to step into the mouth of terror often for the wrong reasons and then suffer terrible consequences. The aftermath is still feeling bullied by needing to correct a situation I should have never created.
It turns out that many of my actions were not about helping the victim, whether the victim is myself or another person but about resolving something that I should have resolved internally. Sometimes it is not bullying, it is my bullied personality creating or distorting a problem. If I were not so sensitized to any situation that could upset my delicate anti-bullying equilibrium I would filter out real situations from ones that I just blew up incorrectly in my mind..
It's a.painful life being a bully or a victim.

Jackammer Drills Into OCD Victims Head
I live in a convertible studio on the top floor of a high rise in Chicago. I treasure my quiet, insulated space because I get freaked out so easily by noise, barking dogs, or any other disturbance that upsets my tranquility.
It is all from my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that causes me to interpret any intrusion as a threat to my peace of mind. Therefore, if a neighbor made noise by playing loud music or walking loudly on the floor above I would always be listening for the noise. I would feel I had to confront that person about the problem that I perceived.
If it turned out to be a kind, friendly person who apologized I would no longer care about the noise. If it was a neighbor who acted angry or indifferent towards my complaint then the problem would only bother me more. This aspect of my OCD has led to endless anxiety and many confrontations with people. The problem is really not about the "noise". It is about me feeling victimized or bullied, my lifelong obsession.
I have been living in this condominium for over four years. Until last week I had never had any problem with my new next door neighbor who had just moved in a few months before. I talked to this nice young lady only one time to ask her to not close her door so loudly early in the morning when she went to work. The door closing woke me up because it is located next to the wall my bed is next to. She said sorry and I never heard the door close loudly again and forgot about this annoyance.
A few days ago I was awakened to the head banging sound of a jackhammer blasting away into the attached wall. I couldn't believe what was happening. I walked out into the hallway and heard the sounds of men working and jackhammering in the next door apartment.
I knocked on the door and one of the building foreman working there I know opened it. He told me the condo had been sold and there would be construction going on until the end of the day. I told him that the noise was going to drive me crazy because I am home all day in my home office.
I left and was beside myself with anxiety. What if the project was not over at the end of the day? Who would the new neighbor be? But, OK I thought, it will be over at the end of the day. Somehow, I did not believe him.
I left and came back home at the next day and the jackhammer was still exploding noise into my wall. I went next door again and asked the foreman why the noise was still continuing, The foreman then told me that I should not worry. The noise would be over soon., . I said "you told me it would be over yesterday"
"You didn't say anything about this going on today also."
He said that I had misunderstood him. The jackhammering should have been done the day before but the crew was late. He said it would be done within a few hours. He apologized I asked " What about the rest of the job"? He said the entire job would take two weeks. I said what is involved. He said "Just normal construction, nothing very disturbing." You will hear very little." I felt lied to again.
I said "I want to go down to the office and talk to the building manager". He said "fine, lets go". We did and the office did not even know there was construction going on in that space and told the foreman to provide the proper papers and get construction approval. The foreman said OK and he left. Nobody would discuss noise when I protested..
So, I had a new problem which was the job would be lasting two weeks. Also, I started to worry about the foreman being mad at me and making the noise worse whenever he could. I had always gotten along with him. Not now.
I was told by the building manager the building rules allowed for construction in apartments between 9 am and 5 pm Monday through Saturday. Period.
I could not sleep all night waiting for the noise to start the next day.. I also had an appointment with a new shrink that same morning to go to. I ended up getting a few hours of bad sleep because I was on fire with anxiety. I left before 9am tortured with anxiety about loud noise I knew I would hear when I returned home.
I ended up introducing myself to this new shrink and immediately launching into a whole hour about this jackhammer issue and all the related situations like this one that have dominated my life and caused me to be continually wracked with anxiety. The shrink listened and then told me he could not help me immediately. I asked for a medicine like Prozac, an SSRI, (brain pill in plain English) which I had resisted taking again for years because of side effects I had experienced long ago. I was ready again.
He said he had to see me again to understand more before prescribing medicine. He did give me some good advice reinforcing what I already knew which was that none of my concerns about noises had anything to do with the real issue of low self esteem and my definition of being victimized and my concept of manhood..
I went back home and heard loud noises but no jackhammering. I lasted about fifteen minutes listening to the screech of drills and the pounding of hammers. I again knocked on the door and the foreman opened it. His facial expression indicated he had had enough of me.
I said I needed to talk to him again outside and gave him a cash Christmas present to sweeten him up. I said "the noise is loud and it is very disturbing which is not what you said" He said "let me show you" and took me into the apartment to show me exactly what was being done.
As he did that I started to lose some of the anxiety I had built up. Soon I was back in my apartment concentrating on working and didn't even care about the noise.
It is Christmas day today and the apartment next door is silent. I keep listening for noises that I envision could be coming from the new owner who I saw had left some cleaning supplies. I am worried about any possible confrontations with this person who is the new owner.
I asked the foreman questions about the new owner and he said he knew very little except he was a young man.. I automatically started thinking about parties, noise, loud music and wished I could just make friends with this new owner..

Free Holiday Shopping Tips
Tips for Holiday Shopping
Try to pay cash anytime you can. It's too easy to use credit cards which cause many people to over spend.
Set a budget and don't exceed it. That way the last ones you buy gifts for don't get cheated.
If you are paying with credit cards take a minute to determine the cards with the least expensive interest rates.
Get the easiest gifts purchased first. The less to think about the better.
Make lists of everything and be organized.. Write down the names of the difficult people you must shop for and get creative. Look online if you are stuck. You will get many ideas that way.
Buy online. Its safe, fast, and easy. Don't be afraid if you have not shopped online before. Just do it.
Don't get frustrated by gift buying. It's supposed to be fun. Make it enjoyable. Take your time, stop for a treat, or go with a friend.
Don't make your life miserable by putting off all your shopping until the last minute. That sucks.
Happy Holidays
Bill and Wendy on WGN radio works
I recently got hooked on a morning radio talk show which airs on WGN-AM radio in Chicago from 9 am to noon Monday through Friday. The hosts are Bill Leff and Wendy Snyder. It's called "Bill and Wendy"
I got curious about Snyder because she is so sarcastic yet comfortable with Bill Leff. Snyder started her career in Northbrook, Il in 1985 on a Christian radio station. She the scoured a publication called "Radio and Records" and landed a position in Peoria, Il.
After that stint she came back to Chicago and got a position at WLUP-FM that started at 4 AM on Sundays.
She was successful and in 1992 she was teamed up with Kevin Matthews. Then, in 1993 Wendy was paired up with Garry Meyer when he and Steve Dahl split up.
In 1994 she started to host shows with several funny men one of whom was Bill Leff. They became popular and developed a following.They were together until 1999. After a 14 year separation Bill and Wendy were reunited on WGN-AM in 2013. I got hooked by Wendy's deferential and sarcastic treatment of Leff.
It's a good radio program strictly which is strictly light hearted but entertaining and sometimes contentious between the hosts.
Bill is the baby and Wendy is the mother.
They seem so different but "Bill and Wendy" works.

Brazzaz Brazilian Steakhouse on Dearborn St in Chicago Great Place
I recently ate dinner with a friend at Brazzaz Brazilian Steakhouse. I had purchased a Groupon for $25.00 providing $50.00 of food. Unfortunately, I printed out the receipt instead of the actual coupon. When it came time to pay the bill the people at Brazzaz could not accept the receipt. They said I needed the actual coupon.
So, I was stuck. Two people on the staff, Carlos and Samra were amazingly sympathetic. They tried to print the coupon and tried to figure out whatever else anyone could think of . No luck.
Finally, my friend made a plea to these two concerned people to give us a break and just give us a reduction on the bill. They did!! Just because they cared. So, hats off to you Brazzaz at 539 N. Dearborn St. in Chicago, Il. # 312-595-9000 email info@brazzaz.com
You have wonderful employees especially the two who went above and beyond the call of duty to relieve our stress. We will be back for more of your wonderful food that I could not get enough of. I must have gained 3 lbs at one sitting. It was a great time..

Openly Gay Celebrities
Here are a few brave Gay celebrities who have openly expressed their sexual preferences. Why did it take so long?
Came out
+Ricky Martin 2010
+Elton John 1976
+Ellen DeGeneres 2008
+Lance Bass 2006
+Frank Ocean 2012
+Anderson Cooper 2012
There are many, many more celebrities who are openly +Gay. But, look at the years that some high profile people finally revealed themselves to the world. Not long ago at all.
+Elton John has gone public the longest out of the few that I checked.
It's still a stigma to be Gay.
Too bad.

Here's some good information about a Home Depot store located at 2655 N. Halsted in Chicago.This is not a paid plug but comes from the bottom of my heart.
I went to this store on December 2, 2013 just as they had closed. I walked up 3 flights of stairs because the elevators were off. I was determined to buy a kitchen fire extinguisher. The lights were being shut off as I yelled to a man who looked like a manager.
I told him I had to buy the extinguisher and and asked if he would help me? He smiled, walked me over to the fire extinguishers, put the one I was looking for in my hand, and had a cashier open her register and check me out. He then got the elevator working so I would not have to walk back down the steps. Now, mind you, I'm am not sickly or handicapped. I don't look like a guy who needs any special treatment. He was just a good employee and a good human being..
I just called the store and spoke to Erin who gave me the name of Joe who was the man who she thought helped me. Erin was very nice even though she had to do some extra work to help me figure out who would have been the manager that night. She then said that she was also a manager.
I never felt one way or another about The Home Depot. Now, I think they are special.at least at that store.

Kirstie Alley-A Charitable and Ballsy Bomb
Kirstie Alley is one of my favorite celebrities. That is because she is so uninhibited and unafraid of what people think. She made a fortune promoting weight loss by offering herself as a joke about being overweight. By making a target of herself she made a bundle promoting weight loss for Jenny Craig who she is no longer connected to.
She formed "Organic Liaison" in 2010 with many experts in nutrition and weight loss.
She offers "The Complete Weight Loss Solution" which includes "The Premium Rescue Me Kit" which provides products and information to the buyers for $139.00. Check her website below for complete information.
What I like the most about her though is her ballsy approach to life. People relate to her because she can put herself in their shoes so easily. She makes no pretenses about life and tells the world straight up what she thinks.
She is also very charitable supporting many worthwhile causes including "Toys For Tots". If you want to know whats going on with her in real time check her on Twitter where she is very active.
She is a ranking member of the Church of Scientology which she has been a member of since 1979 and lately is defending it vigorously in a controversy that evolved around it.
She is good people.

Martha Stewart Living
Martha Stewart has always fascinated me. She was born in Jersey City, New J and when she was 10 years old she started working by babysitting for Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and some of the New Your Yankees.She then started to model when she was 13 and was in television and magazine ads. remember Tareyton cigarettes famous ad "I'd rather fight then switch". She was part of that ad.
In 1990 Martha Stewart signed with Time Publishing Ventures to develop a magazine called Martha Stewart Living and the circulation rose to over 2 million copies per issue.. Then, in 1997 she purchased the rights related to her brand and put them all under the umbrellas Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. One could write about her for years but suffice it to say that New York Magazine was right when they named her the "Definitive American Woman of our Time. Good job Martha.

Mark Cuban and You!!
Mark Cuban, the 55 year old owner of the Dallas Mavericks and many other businesses says:
"It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success."
Cuban was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania July 31, 1958. He started working when in college as a bartender first and then as a P.C. software salesman. He then started a company called MicroSolutions and sold it in 1990 clearing two million dollars in the deal.
He then started another company with Todd Wagner, his college buddy, called Audionet which was turned into Broadcast.com and in 1999 was sold to Yahoo for 5.9 billion dollars in stock.
Cuban diversified his wealth and became # 459 on Forbes list of wealthiest people. He has kept going forward and expanding in his businesses and seems to have unlimited energy. He is also very charitable and kind.
Maybe you can do a deal with him? People do all the time on the television program "Shark Tank" which is on Friday nights where Mark and several other billionaires sit on a panel. They sometimes invest money with entrepreneurs who make a pitch to the panel and if one or more of the Sharks likes an idea they invest their own money.

Gambling-The Unconditional Lover
Gambling. One of the nastiest monsters of the world. Feed it and it eats your soul. Starve it and it destroys you mind. To a real compulsive gambler the loss of gambling is good reason for perpetual mourning. Every ounce of desire in your body craves going back to gambling again. The adrenalin, the euphoria, the joy of knowing you will be in action is enough to inspire any gambler no matter how much they have lost.
I am not just talking about lost money. I am talking about lost health, family, friends. Losing your whole life. I have gambled for over 50 years and lost it all. In the last few years i have quit gambling and slowly rebuilt my life. Yet, I continue to long for my greatest friend and unconditional lover. Gambling.
I was a very big gambler betting on sports, craps, and blackjack. I would win or lose thousands of dollars a day. I figured out that I have lost well over a million dollars in my life. Enough to destroy me financially, mentally, and emotionally. Yet the monster inside my brain lives on unaffected. It says "you can do it David." You can set limits, avoid going out of control, and enjoy the happiness of being in action."
My rational mind keeps speaking at the same time. "Go to a G.A. meeting David. You are getting false messages. You are doomed if you gamble. You know that." I do.
But,the evil voice tears at my my heart and says "just do it. "You will do it right this time. It will be ok" The logical mind needs constant reinforcement to say no. The evil mind that is supported by emotion needs no nourishment.
But it never is.

I Am A Compulsive Gambler
I am a compulsive gambler. Do you know what that means? It means that I love gambling more then I love anything else. I have lost almost all of the money I have ever made. I am now 65 years old and struggling to get by. I should be a millionaire many times over. I should have the respect of my family, friends, and many others. Instead, I only have respect from people who are in the Gamblers Anonymous meetings I attend.
I have not made a bet in over 4 years as of today. Yet, I struggle constantly to resist this evil demon that pollutes my soul. I work, read, write, see my family, friends yet I cannot be comfortable with a normal life. My desires lie deep in the hell called gambling. If I were given a billion dollars to use as i pleased I would lose it all gambling. That is because there ois no cure for compulsive gambling.
We are stuck with an abnormal brain forever that craves the action that always leads back to self destruction. So, I live a life of desperation. I go to GA meetings several times each week. I talk to others in the program who are the only ones who understand me. The struggle goes on and on. That is why the recidivism rate is so high. Because the gambling monster is my unconditional lover waiting for me to get sad, mad, glad or have any other feeling that will propel me back into action.
So, here I am. Do you want to trade places Mr.or Mz. Gambler?
You know if your relationship with gambling is abnormal. You know if you are headed towards disaster. Do you have the courage to resist those urges and change? If you do there is a Gambler Anonymous meeting near you. Look up the GA number, make the phone call, talk to someone at GA who will assuredly answer your call and give you suggestions. Save you life.
The national number is 626-960-3500. Make your next bet on yourself.

My Fight With Richie Incognito
I was standing at a full bar in Miami and there was a loud, abrasive, huge, muscular, tattooed guy yelling at another guy in language filled with expletives. He was berating this big, strong fellow who he obviously knew.
He yelled "you dumb motherfucker. Don't you know you gotta stop him as soon as he moves off the line"? He kept verbally abusing this guy and then the guys girlfriend said "Cmon Richie,you're embarrassing him." Richie screamed at her "bitch, shut up, I'm not even talking to you."
My stomach was rolling. I felt overwhelming fear and also indignity that this monster was intimidating me, the other guy, his girlfriend, and everyone around him. It was another of those situations that are unavoidable and you just hope it will end with the bully leaving. I kept glancing over to the side of the bar where he was standing and acting like a crazy man.
He was dug in with a full glass of booze looking like he was not going anywhere. A bunch of people were standing there patronizing him. I heard "Oh Richie, what a play you made and all kinds of other crap.
Incognito didn't stop berating this one guy. He was so into the harassment that he was dripping sweat from his drunken intensity
I asked myself if I had the balls to go over there and tell the big pig to keep it down without him beating my face in. No way I knew. I am not the type to perform acts of bravery or take needless risks. Usually. But, once in a while. You know guys.
I am usually the farthest thing from a tough guy. I am no special forces kind of guy or anything close. I have been bullied more then not. But, I have very rarely had a few moments of glory. I'm just pretty much of a snook. I am not a big, strong, alpha baboon. I'm just a regular neurotic Jewish guy.
I looked at two security guys and they were standing close by Richie but doing nothing to slow him down. Just a couple of big guys wanting no real trouble and looking at this out of control brute. I could see the fear in their eyes.
I know all about being bullied. Sometimes I have stood up for myself and sometimes I have been too afraid. Sometimes being brave has worked out, other times it has gotten me in trouble or gotten me a beating. Occasionally, I have started to confront a bully but bailed out from fear.
However, always the worse thing was questioning myself and the shame for all the times I did not stand up. Those memories still haunt me. So, this situation was probably more about me then Richie Incognito.
I made a decision immediately that I would act in this situation if it continued. I was scared stiff. My hear was beating a million miles an hour. But, I made the decision to act if it still was necessary. Please just leave Richie I thought.
I kept looking at that horrid monster and I felt like running the other way. I could have. I was alone just cruising for women and fun. But, I'm crazy too in my own way. Not violent though. I'm not tough nor ferocious but once in a while I will face the bully just so I don't have to feel like a coward. But never did I stand up to a bully like this big, scary animal. It was the ultimate test.
I remembered a friend of mine named Troy who was a nice guy but a tough guy I admired. I asked him once how he had so much guts. He was a legendary fighter. "They can't eat me can they?" he would laugh.
Suddenly, I heard another outburst from Richie again directed at the guy being abused. "Ok" I decided. I made my legs move. I walked over to Incognito with my heart jumping out of my chest. I tapped him on a shoulder that felt like steel. He turned. I'm not very threatening looking. Just a tall 65 year old guy with white hair and black glasses and kind of a nerdy appearance.
"What do you want" he asked.
I said "I'd like you to stop screaming and yelling" He just looked at me and laughed. "Get the fuck out of my face before I bury you" he said. He reminded me of a guy who could win the world's most evil looking bully contest. I had never seen a meaner looking freak of nature.
I could see how he exploited the world by fear and got away with it. Who is going to stop him? King Kong?
In a split second I knew that this was my moment of truth. I said to him "there is no need to humiliate this man". In a flash Richie grabbed my neck with an iron hand and pushed me back. "I'm warning you asshole. Get outta here" I said "No" He said "You really wanna fuck with me?" "No" I said "but I want you to stop acting like a madman".
The other patrons around could not jump away fast enough as me and Richie Incognito squared off. With a thumping heart I asked " are you going to stop"? Richie smiled for the crowd. He then slapped me in the face with an open hand. The slap stung bad. I could feel tears forming in my eyes.
The slap also took me from fear to anger. I just stood there, frozen, but not backing off.
He clinched his fist way down at his waist as he stood next to me. "Get away from me" he snarled." I gulped. My life flashed before my eyes. Then, with the desperation of feeling I was in a life or death survival situation I felt a rush of adrenalin pump into my body.
I cocked my strong right arm and shot my fist into his fat, pudgy face before he could smack me. I caught him square in the nose with a rock hard right hand shot.
My knuckles banged off his nose. His snoot started squirting blood like an oil gusher. Then, with rage and fear riveting through my body I cocked the same fist back and this time I drove it into his mouth with more power then I thought I had. I hit him so hard all the people around gasped from the cracking sound the blow made.
He was spurting blood all over his clothes and the floor as I backed up fast. He stood there kind of in shock and disbelief.
My deed was done.
Now the security guards found their courage. They both thankfully grabbed me.
"Take it easy Richie" one said as he mopped his blood up with a linen napkin someone gave him.
Richie screamed at me "I'll get you motherfucker" through his bloody face. I was out the door as the security guards let go of me and then held him. He wasn't even trying to get at me. I saw that. I gloriously screamed my parting words. "Bully" "Leave the world alone"
Then I woke up from this wonderful dream I have just written about. It all seemed so true but an hour later I was bagging groceries at my supermarket job.
This Richie Incognito story was only a glorious dream.

My Stuck Sneeze
I just can't sneeze. It seems that it has been at least 11 weeks since I last successfully went aaahh-chooo. I am used to this problem since it has been happening off and on for about 10 years. But, I usually sneeze in 3,4,or 5 weeks. It has never gone on this long before I think 10 weeks without a sneeze was the old record which I have now shattered. If I was not so miserable it would be funny to me like it is to everyone else.
I am in very good health. I have checked this out before with all the different Dr.s and they all say there is nothing wrong with me physically. They say it has to be psychological. They also say that not ever sneezing is meaningless. It will never matter or hurt anything else in my body if I sneeze or not.
But, it is so frustrating. I thought this latest episode was finally over a few minutes ago when the urge to sneeze came and was intense. But, no. Just another aborted attempt occurred when the Choo was ready to release but would not explode.
Don't tell me about black pepper, cold weather, pulling eyelashes q-tips, kleenex, or any other tricks to cause a sneeze. I could write a book about every sneezing trick. It is so aggravating to go day after day and become more obsessed with this stupid function not working. I think about sneezing continually. the urges come several times a day and I get high hopes only to become more depressed when I can't sneeze.
Why me? Why not me since I am as neurotic as they come.
I am a 65 year old guy with almost no other health problems. I hardly ever get sick or have any kind of sinus or nose problems. I feel fine everyday. This is purely a mental thing. It is not neurological or physically related to the brain. I know all that. I have OCD and that is probably the cause.
Who cares? I want to sneeze.
Understanding does not help when I am debilitated with a half sneeze and the other half just teases me relentlessly and stays stuck.
It is misery.

A Great Date
It was another match.com date with a 65 year old man and a 62year old woman. Except this is the date that I did not want to ever end. It started innocently enough, after a few online misfires, with lunch at a Greek restaurant in Chicago.
It ended several hours later with a connection that I am overwhelmed by. She is magnificent in her sensitivity, intellect and rare, unaffected beauty. We found that certain indefinable common ground quickly as we had a drink and ordered some food. After she spoke a few words I knew she was a rarity. A non-egocentric, kind, classy, intellectual strong and sensual woman of great experience and insight.
Only she did not come off as anything but a very sweet lady who knew her way around. I looked at her and immediately was swept away. After lunch, which lasted a long time I blurted out "do you want to go play?" and she said "sure." My heart skipped a beat. Maybe she liked me?
We walked around this big food market tourist attraction in the Northwestern train station after getting lost a few times. No one cared. We walked and walked around for hours and finally sat down for some coffee. We exchanged intimate affections and sat for a while still getting acquainted but with more touching and light kisses. Her lips were sensitive but she kissed mine softly and passionately and touched my face. It was heaven.
Finally, we walked back toward the restaurant we met at which is located close to her apartment. I asked hopefully if we could just keep this date going by going to a movie or doing anything at all. She said that she was tired and had just taken a flu shot and that that would be all for now. The words came with a hint of more good things to come soon.
It has been all I could do to keep myself from calling her tonight but I'm still a guy that lives by the old male code so I didn't. Besides, I thought that I did the best I could to show my captivation with her. Being a good man and sitting tight was the right move. Then, I thought of this essay as a healthy release. I will email it to her.
What I felt being with her was the thing I have always held out for and why I decided never to settle for less in a woman then I wanted. I want the real deal, the whole enchilada and nothing less. The feeling that there isn't anyone in the whole world to be with but that special person is the only feeling to make me really happy and fulfilled.
That's how I feel.
I must be crazy writing this after one date but who cares. It's who I am.

Attacker Beaten By Big John
Big John, the doorman, was standing in front of his building
on the Gold Coast, Chicago’s
fanciest area located downtown. It was 2 am. The streets were quiet except for the normal activity of cabs, people, music from bars, and loud conversation. Big John
looked around one more time before he took a coffee break at the all night snack shop half a block away.
Suddenly, he heard a woman screaming. Not that laughing
drunken kind of meaningless sound that his ears were accustomed to but that scary
kind of serious shriek from a woman who was
getting abused or attacked. He looked down the street to the next
building and saw a man grabbing a woman on the street and trying to pull her into some
bushes. No one else was around. Big John’s
heart pounded but he never thought twice as he immediately ran towards the
struggling man and woman. The attacker was a tall, muscular, dirty, evil
looking dude somewhere around thirty five years old.
The woman was good looking, wearing hot clothes and
obviously not with this guy. Big John ran over and got near both. The attacker was
ripping at her body and trying to pull her not seeing Big John. She tore
away as John screamed at the attacker arriving at the scene. Big John and
the scumbag stared at each other as the lady ran.
Johns steely veteran eyes met the raging low life’s eyes.
They were a foot away from each other. The low life pulled out a knife and
screamed at Big John. “You son of a bitch." Get the fuck away from me”
Johns answer was fast, He grabbed the guy’s arm which held the knife and
twisted it around his back.The attacker squelled
He dropped the knife in pain. He was a weak piece
of shit John thought. “Leave me alone man” he screamed at John” John’s next
move was vicious. He saw the knife fall to the ground and then he delivered a
ferocious kick to the groin of the attacker.
The man shriveled falling onto the ground throwing his
hands across his body for protection. Big John then delivered another kick with
his big shoe catching the offender square in the nose making a crackling,
sickening sound as blood spurted all over the mans ugly face.
“Please man I was
just playing with her” Don’t hurt me” “Sure you were” said Big John, who dragged
the man off the sidewalk into the driveway. Blood poured out of the scumbag’s nose. John
could see a police cruiser coming down the street about 30 seconds away. Big John
waved at it. Then, he took his last shot at the dirtball before the cops got
there.
Big John knelt down and grabbed the mans bloody, busted up
face and cocked his hard, big fist way back and smashed the asshole square in
the nose as he writhed in pain on the ground. He felt only rage for men who
preyed on women. He had a father who did the same to his mother until John was
old enough to put a stop to it. He hated this bleeding, bellowing piece of shit
lying on the ground. The mans nose was squashed and his whole face had blown up
from the brutal blows inflicted.
Two cops arrived.” I’m the night doorman at the Savoy over there”
offered John.” “He was attacking a girl”
“Looks like this bad boy ran into the wrong doorman” said one of the cops.”
Thanks”, said Big John, who hardly was affected by the whole event other then
being somewhat unhappy he could not pound the asshole a little longer. The cop
said to his partner “Ok. Let’s call the ambulance and haul the trash away." “He
needs some fixing before we can throw him in jail”.
“Looks like you did some fine public service. Nice job” “Thanks,
said Big John. “So, where is the woman”? “Gone” “she ran when I came” said John,
pointed to the bleeding, beaten specimen lying on the ground. He was attacking this
girl over there when I heard screaming. I got there before he could really get
to her.
Ever see her before? said one of the cops.
“No, said John” ”she was just walking home or something. She
was alone”.
“Maybe they’ll give you a raise” said one of the cops
laughing” “Public service” “Wish there
were more like you” said one of the cops seriously “Don’t need more money for doing this” said
Big John.
Big John looked down at the busted up attacker still lying
on the ground. He spit at the bitch who was just regaining his senses. The
ambulance came. It was over.

Viagra: Hard To Live Without
Viagra is my best sexual friend. I am a player who naturally thinks he can find true love through sexual prowess. But, I have learned that to get things going now, at 64, I need to use Viagra as my tool. My hammer. It's my best ally and it has done much for me. Many women have loved me sexually.
So, a little while ago I met this beautiful, 60 year old, very smart and sexy woman online.
We both flirted for a week in preparation for the magical Friday night dinner date we made.. She got a massage, bought new jeans and I got a manicure and haircut and wore the same clothes I wore on online in my profile picture she liked so much.
We ended up in a frantic countdown to our meeting at this restaurant we agreed to dine at. We finally met in person . It was heaven. A dream. She looked better then her hot pictures and also immediately upon seeing me told me she said she loved every part of the way I looked. My face, arms, chest all met her dreams of what she wanted in a man. Her whole look me mine. Magic had finally happened.
We looked at each other at the table we were seated at and she peered straight into my eyes and told me how she wanted to kiss me and she knew I wanted to kiss her. I said yes,yes, yes.. She started kissing me immediately
even though public displays of affection were outside her comfort zone. But, she went with the moment and kissed my lips. It was so perfect.
As the check arrived with us waiting to leave and longing to get our hands on each other I asked her where she wanted to go. She said" back to your house". "Is there anywhere else to go?"
I never dreamed she would say that. I figured dancing, drinking, or listening to music after dinner if we were even attracted was as far as it would go that first night. Don't forget. We had never met. Only pictures. I never thought she would want to go right to bed. I was totally unprepared meaning I had no Viagra anywhere.to make me into a stud. I am a normal dud without one..
We got back to my place and I turned on some music. We wrapped our arms around each other and laid on my bed in our clothes
I was in trouble but we were so swept away I thought just hugging and kissing and talking would be enough.
I realized quickly that she was ready to do it all sexually. I couldn't whip out my limp cock and put on a show leaving her satiated and in uncontrollable lust. I had no blue pill to rely on. So, I was stuck. I do need it and then I function like a super stud. I never thought of buying a Viagra that day.. I never considered that sex was on the agenda that night. I couldn't explain what the problem was either. She did not want to have her dream ruined.
So, I tried to cover up the lack of a hard on with high school type necking and petting uttering sweet nothings in her ear as we petted and told each other that we were eternal soul mates. I kept my pants on so I did not give away my inability to perform and acted like I didn't even want to have intercourse so quickly.
I also did not know how critical I would come to believe it was to do the deed..
Meanwhile, I think our lives would be have changed forever if we made great, mutually satisfying love. But, my true friend.....my cock, was just a jellyfish...not a tree trunk Finally, after a few hours she said she had to get home. it was wonderful, all the kissing and petting. But, it wasn't the steak she wanted.
I was fine anyway still thinking I was in golden shape with her and not even thinking about my cock mattered because of the intense intimacy we shared.
Maybe she would not have let me make love to her, maybe we could not have made love well with each other, maybe she would have bailed out the next day anyway, maybe...maybe...maybe. What a killer.
I will never know what and I want to know. did I lose her because I didn't screw her. I feel like Bill Buckner, the infamous baseball player who let the ground ball slip through his legs losing the championship for his team and all the what ifs that have come afterward.
Meanwhile, next day she didn't text me back at 6.30 am when I texted her telling her I missed her. Then, I went back to sleep till 11am still comfortable about her. At 11, when I awoke, she had not gotten back to me and my mind started to race. Something was wrong. She had been calling every few hours for a week.
Why? I thought. I called her and she said she was busy helping her son move and that she thinks she got carried away the night before. We should cool it after that week of frenzy but she couldn't talk until about 10 pm that night. An eternity. My stomach got sick and I could not eat or concentrate waiting to talk to her.
What did I do wrong? Why was I getting blown off?
I called and talked to her that night. I never mentioned the Viagra theory because I had not figured out it that was the problem. I still don't know for sure.
She apologized for hurting me and said she had to go back to therapy because she had lost her mind before with other men like she had lost it with me in getting into a crazy state of mind about a new romance. She was still all shaken up she said. She told me how wonderful, terrific, and great I was but that we needed time apart. I knew I was done.
I asked how could the intensity and passion disappear overnight. She said a lot of nothing about how fucked up she was. We got off the phone. I got sicker.
I thought about it. I suddenly realized what the whole problem might be. This classy lady come right back to my apartment and jumped on my bed. We necked and petted. It ultimately was not enough for her.She wanted it all. That could only mean she wanted furious lovemaking sending her to the moon. Then, things would have been different the next day I think.
I never thought of buying Viagra as a backup. I had never met this woman before and even being a hard core veteran of romance and one night stands I never thought she would want to come right back to my condo. But, she had immediately said she wanted to go there after dinner. She came into my condo, laid down right on my king sized bed in and grabbed me and kissed me passionately.
She asked questions about my whole anatomy filled with compliments and about how my cock probably looked. Normally; if my cock was hard I would have whipped it out, had her admire it by putting on a show for her, made sweet or wild love to her, her choice, and she would probably have been mine.
But, I had no big, hard cock for her, and worse, I didn't even know I needed one that night. I had never met her before and she caught me off guard.
I could have had a life with her because she was smart, classy, beautiful, and sensual and connected perfectly with me I thought. But, I believe she wanted the lover I am but never experienced.. I needed my little blue tool.
I wrote all of this in a letter to her a few days later after I talked to her but she gave a small written response addressing almost none of the points I mentioned here and only wishing me luck.
I blew it with the one I really wanted . The big fish got away. I am still hurting and am still sick even now. It was only a romance for one week and really only one night but it still seems like it was a lifetime.
I know I won't be able to go back to her again. It was a carpe diem moment and I didn't show up. One bite of the golden apple is all one usually gets. I was given the apple and choked on it instead of devouring it..
Viagra has controlled my life and I forget to bring it. Of all the times in my life of seduction I blew the lottery But, I really had no idea I needed it that pill that night.
Oh well, you live by the cock and you can die by it too..
What a dick I am.

Dope
Interior-David's Apt.
David sits at his computer scanning the online dating site like a trained hunter. He sees this tall, seductive but funky looking woman of about 50 and looking very indifferent. Kinda smug. Posing like a hotter version of Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde” but so very obviously intelligent and also tough looking.. Tall, .great looking body. David talks to himself out loud “Is she hot or not”?
His 62 year old trained eyes coupled with years of dating
experience do not tell him a story. She could be a good one but probably isn’t”
She’s most likely not worth the time it would take trying to meet her, he decides. Then, he goes back to look
at her again a few hours later and also reads her profile more carefully..
“Divorced, self employed, no kids living at home” her
profile states. She seems so unaffected, uncaring about whether she gets any attention
or not, as if she were forced onto the site. David
mumbles ok to himself. He decides it's worth an email to her after reconsideration.
Interior David's apt-at computer
David “Hi. Check my profile and pictures and see what you think. Maybe we could meet?
Sincerely
David”

Fade Out To Lucy's Apt
“This blows” Lucy tells Deborah , her friend who convinced
her to pay and get on match.com, the online meat market. “ I keep getting emails from babies and
idiots “ This online dating is not where I want to be”. She points at her computer and shows
Debbie a mountain of emails that have come from men all over who fired off
their best lines her.
Lucy-”Look at this guy” she taunts and tells Debbie that they
both should go out for a drink and waste
no more time.
Then, as an afterthought Lucy glances at her match.com inbox
one more time and sees an email from a David. She checks his profile information.
Lucy-"hey Deb. listen to this"
Lucy-"hey Deb. listen to this"
Lucy -He's, “divorced, still working, no kids at
home” lives nearby.
Lucy "I like his pictures. He's interesting"
.
Lucy "I like his pictures. He's interesting"
.
Certainly not an appropriate fit among her cavalry of old
boyfriends. She wonders, “can this grey haired somewhat weird looking but maybe
slightly sexy guy make her wild libido explode. Like the first boyfriend she
had after she left her nice Jewish, but very
boringhusband for.”
It took Johnny Loren, an ex- pro football player to
finally give her the animal, insatiable sexual fulfillment she had tried to
bury with booze, parties, and many partners
There was a 25 year history of relationships with all
kinds of black, Hispanic and every other kind of man who could chew gum
and fuck at the same time.
But, all that was over and the pickings were slim. Hard living
had wiped out most of her following except for the cadre of loyal friends, men
and women who wanted her all the time in some way but who only served to amuse Lucy.
Lucy“ OK Deb,” I’m ready to go out but hang on? I’m gonna
write this David guy back.
Lucy-“I have nothing happening tomorrow night and I am curious” she smirked.”
Lucy-“I have nothing happening tomorrow night and I am curious” she smirked.”

David “Fine. I look just like my picture David says?
Lucy“Really? Wow” “That’s exciting” more sarcasm dripping from

David “ I do and I’ll be there”

David sits outside bar not seeing Lucy. Finally, he goes

Lucy-“Uh, yeah, I have been sitting here”.
Lucy-“Are you always in such a daze? You've been sitting outside for 30 minutes"
David-”Not always”
David-“ I just didn’t know you were here already”.Didn't even see you.
Lucy-“Obviously” she retorts but with sweet amusement.

Sizing each other up
David is swept away by the obvious beauty and salty
personality of this new person. He tries to read Lucy but cannot.
Then, she smiles at him and says she would like to sit down
in a small, intimate, booth in the back of this empty bar owned by her friend.

She looked at this tall guy with black glasses and an
athletic body and was very attracted. He had this face that she found uniquely
beautiful. Her mind danced and skipped at a furious pace. He was no wild crazy
stud but he did it for her immediately like no one she had ever met before. She
could hardly contain herself as they sat together in the little booth. Being
the worlds most impulsive woman she wanted to start kissing him right away.
Lucy “I want an Italian Beef sandwich.” "Will you take me?"
David-“Sure”

As we got back into my car Lucy went wild with passion. All
she wanted to do was kiss as we swerved along the most dangerous area of a Chicago expressway. It
was a dream”
David-Where am I going”
Lucy-“ Turn there. No. not there. .There"
Lucy-Jesus. “No sense of direction for a guy”

David-“ what kind of dog do you have?
Lucy-“A Doberman
David- I’m freaked out totally”
Lucy.”You're sweating.. You look white as a ghost".
David-“I have had a terrible fear of dogs in general my
whole life and particularly, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, German Shepard's They are
dogs I would always cross the street to avoid".
“Lucy-Well, get past
it”
David’ No. I can't”
David“I am never going in your house. Ever,”
Lucy-“OK”
She just seemed to not hear me and kept trying kissing me as I made a few wrong turns getting to her house.
Lucy-“You can stay downstairs in your car while I walk him”
Lucy-“I”ll come back quick.
Lucy”Then we can keep kissing".I love your lips"
Lucy-"You kiss great:"

Lucy_OK. I'll be right back"
David- “Ok" I'll be right here"
David" is determined to stay in the car.
Lucy “why don’t you just get out of the car and stand downstairs by the stoop and you can go for a walk with us. Sitting in your car won’t do anything”
David “that’s fine I said, “I’ll stay right here.
Lucy started to get out of the car. I sat there feeling like
a coward. I knew I would have to face the dog sometime because this was
probably going to be a romance.

David “wait Lucy”. “Does the Doberman bite?” “
Lucy-“Yes, I have had to pay off several people she bit
already.”
David-“Well, will she be OK with me?”
Lucy”I don’t know” she answered in a brutally honest and
unwavering style.”
Lucy-“, You pussy”Cmon’ Stay there.She motioned to follow her up to the
stoop outside her apartment. Lucy-"Wait for us to come down"
David-“ OK.You got me”
David trips on the curb going toward Lucy's. house
David-sorry-I'm scared"
David-sorry-I'm scared"
Lucy-Jesus, “I cant take my eyes off you for a minute can I?”.
David-“Not so smooth, am I?
Lucy-“Your lips are.”
For whatever thinking went through me I decided to defy a
lifelong fear and throw caution to the wind. I followed Lucy all the way upstairs into her
dark house instead of staying downstairs. I was certain would get mauled by
this Doberman anyway so I figured a head on meeting was the right move.
I was scared beyond words. So scared that the fear left me
frozen in large part as I stood in the house waiting for the dog to sink its
teeth into me and tear me apart. It did not happen. The dog only sniffed me. We went downstairs
and walked the dog.

David "Can we talk about my bravery?"
Lucy-"your very brave overcoming your fear. Now give me your lips"
David "Can we talk about my bravery?"

But I don’t see how the U.S government will pull that off “
The conversation with Lucy and her acquaintances who I thought were
hitting on her went on and on. Finally. although I was so new and just a guest
at this fancy dinner I got aggravated anyway
I could not stand being ignored by her for so long while she spoke to one person after another.

She came to my
apartment. I started to show her pictures of my three kids, the wallpaper, the
view and she just didn’t care. She kissed me again and again. She was
indifferent to the rest of my life.. She literally threw me onto my king sized bed. I looked up at her irresistible
body and face as she stood there ready to devour me. We made wild love that
day and stayed in bed with breathers only for food and wine, It was the lovemaking I had dreamed of my whole life but
never thought people did it except in the movies or in books. We made love for
5 hours.

Lucy then asked me if I wanted to go to this guy Paul Scott’s
summer house over the weekend. She promised he had a big, beautiful house on the
beach in Indiana and there would be a bunch of other people who would all go there and have a
good time eating, drinking, and relaxing. The plan was that I would drive to Lucy's house and park my car.
We would meet her sister Linda at Lucy's house at 11.30 am on Friday and we would take a
nice leisurely drive of about an hour and a half to go to Paul’s house. I was excited. Lucy promised a nice easy trip. No
hassles,

Lucy-“Yes”
David-“I’m sorry”
Lucy-“Gee, sorry again” sorry sorry "
Lucy- “what is there that you ever do that you’re not sorry
about?”
We all get in the car. I offer to drive but Lucy decides she will drive
because I do not drive well enough to suit her. I get into the back seat and
her sister Linda, one of of America’s
miserable people, sits in the front. I might as well have been a prisoner who
had raped a child in the company of two sadistic guards who hated me and could
barely stand to have me in the car. Their anger and contempt toward me was so intense.
They talked and talked to each other only. The closest Lucy
got to talking to me or even paying attention to me was glancing in her rear
view mirror once every twenty five minutes to see if I hopefully had fallen out
of the car.
Linda, who hardly knew me, was in her evil heaven with me in
solitary confinement. She quietly delighted that I was being totally ignored by
Lucy and easily took the queue. The two sisters chatted about everything you
could imagine as we drove along the hwy. I tried to be part of the conversation
many times. No. No one cared bout anything I had to say at all. I couldn’t
believe that my treatment could be so rotten. Lucy and I were falling apart in
chunks and these was just a few days after we had talked of moving in together,
get married, and stay in bed forever needing no one else in the world.
Now, I had been reduced to an unwanted passenger in route to a weekend of fun which Lucy seemed not even want me to be part of.

Lucy- “see if you can avoid hitting another car. Also, see
if you can get back to this crappy little joint without getting lost. I don’t
want to have to go find you.”

enough to confuse you”

The three of us sitting at a table
Waitress-“what will you guys have?”
Everyone orders but I start to chat up the waitress thinking
being cute will get me some redemption from the mental abuse being inflicted by
Lucy’s silence and mean sarcasm. I showed the waitress a little hand
sanitizer that I had been selling many of. I sell advertising specialties
David- to waitress-“stick out your hand’
She does and I squirt the sanitizer spray into the waitress’s
hands. Lucy rolls her eyes as her sister just looks showing a disgusted expression.
Waitress-“that’s really cute”
David-“show it to your boss. My number is on it” They are real hot"
Waitress “ok”
waitress walks away to other customers
Lucy-Did you have to do that? “You know how uncomfortable
you made me feel when you tried to sell your stupid trinkets around me.” Why are you so dopey”?
David-“I hustle trinkets good- it's my living"
Lucy-“Really good living. That’s why you said you have no money and no job”
David-“I’m trying”
Lucy- “like you tried to pick us up at 11.30 and showed up at
12. or try to talk to my friends or try to drive right”. Now, you're embarrassing me by hustling your crap"
David- “So, whats the big deal?”
Lucy-“The big deal was that you ruined this whole weekend
already”
David- “over being late half an hour”?
Lucy-it’s cumulative. “You are really fucked up
Lucy ” Seems your dick is your only asset”
David-“wow”
Lucy-“Lets go or do you want to try to sell something to
another store as long as were here
David-“Funny”

figure redemption is still possible. Also, despite everything Lucy is the

and then she will sweeten up. I crawl into her bed and push my rod against her rear
end as I wrap my arms around her and pull her towards me.
