My Birthday party was yesterday evening!

Today is my birthday!

One year ago today, on my birthday, Jen (my former girlfriend) went into the hospital for the last time.

The smell is coming from my garbage BAGS.

Not from garbage! Let's be...

Do you have womb fury?

I thought this was interesting; it's from research at the Kinsey Institute:

an illness called "womb fury." "The womb changes into an
unfavorable one, which...results in a contraction of the uterus and

TYPES OF RITUAL PROSTITUTES

(I wrote this for a book that came out from Prentice Hall Press called "Sex Lover's book of Lists)

1. Deva-dasi (also spelled devadaasii) - India. Deva-dasi is
Sanskrit for "slave of God." Deva-dasi were Hindu temple

mother who was one,...

12 people came for dinner last night!

I made a huge vat of delicious vegan peanut noodles, and Mustard-ginger crusted salmon for those who eat such things.

I've posted pictures.

I'm a writer, so here's something I wrote for a project I did...

anymore, in ancient times sacred prostitution
was an important part of religious rites and
fertility rituals. The sacred prostitute was
the intermediary between the men of the
profane world and the sacred...
