It has been a while since I have added anything new. I should spend more time keeping these sites up to date.
I recently spent a week in the hospital. I had a series of falls here at home On the third fall i banged my head as well. After two days of curled up in a ball on my bed, I said a prayer for help.  That gave me enough courage to call 911. An ambulance  came and the carted me off to of all places South Medical Campus which is as far away from here as you can get. Nice hospital, it's new. I spent a hellish night in the emergency ward before they moved me to a bed. Nice rooms, I had a single all to myself for the first three day then they moved me into another room with another patient.  I was chocked that they moved me and that the other guy had control of the tv remote. They moved me once more before I got out.  This guy was hard of hearing so he had the tv turned up loud and what did he watch. Four hours of Pro Wrestling.  After about two hours of beefcakes bashing each other I had to get out of the room.
I went in on a Monday and they kept me there till the next Tuesday When they released me. It was a nice rest from the hustle and bustlel of everyday life.

What do you think of this as a new Logo. It's not the greatest, I whipped it together with
The Creator software.

Or this Mandela that I created with Inspirit software.

This is the trike, the guys in the group bought to replace the blue one that was stolen.  Last year, this trike was stolen but luckily I got it back.  Sad to say, it was stolen again.  It's been a few weeks now and I haven't heard back from the police so she is most likely gone for good.

It was two weeks ago today that some lowlife stole my adult tricycle. I am crippled and need the trike to get around and help me with my shopping. It was locked to the bikerack outside my apartment.
It is a Norco (Fiori) Parklane six speed  Adult Trike. Blue in colour with a white basket in back. It's kind of rusty on the handlebars and fenders.  I could use some help finding my trike. I live in Calgary NE, and I believe someone stole the trike to give to their aged or handicapped  relative or friend in another part of the city or outlying areas.  When stolen it had a black mirror on the left handlebar  and two bungee cords around the basket There are also clips for for lights on the right handlebar and on the seat post.
I have posted a police report online but have heard nothing back from them.
I can be reached here just post a message.
Thank you.

Today when I turned on Facebook the first thing I see is a post from my X Brenda, informing people to a memorial for her sister Lana. I  met and went out with Lana several times before I met Brenda. 
I am sad to hear that she has passed on. She is in a better place now. 

I had another brush with "Plenty Of Fish" an adult dating site on the net.
My problem is whenever I get pulled out of the pond for a look, they take one look and toss me right back in again.
It happen again. I saw a face that I could fall in love with so I sent her a line.  She responded with a question for me which I promptly answered. Maybe I went overboard by including a short poem with my answer. Anyway she responded back by saying she wasn't ready for dating and she was pulling her profile from the site.
What could I have said to to make her turn tail and run in the opposite direction?


The poem  A Pretty Picture

You are a woman of many words and I have but a few.
Your picture was so pretty I thought I'd take a chance,
I am but a simple man, simple through and through.
If I could but finish this line I'd have a poem for you!

  As you can see from a few of my earlier posts I was amazed at the traffic I was getting here for a while. I have concluded that it was due to an increase in computer use around Christmas time, eg. People getting new computers as gifts or people upgrading what they have. People are surfing the web for that perfect gift, and some how they land on my web sites. 
  I really need a new idea or a boost in creativity because I have been neglecting the upkeep of these sites. I'm lost for new content to add.  More when the thoughts strike me.

Was watching an old episode of the X-Files this evening and was sad to see the demize of the Lone Gunmen. ( the Three Nerds that helped out Mulder on Numerous occasions.) They had their own series that ran for one season.  It ended in a cliff hanger that wasn't resolved because the series got cancelled. Tonight's episode closed the story...

I had it all wrong. I was reading the hit counter wrong. These sites have been getting more hits than I thought. It's too late to do a recount but I'm guessing that the 152 hits was more like 200 something.
It's also more work than I thought to maintain and keep a site current and up to date. In other words I haven't been spending enough time working on my sites as I should be. I'm bad!

 What a wonderful year.  radacalartisticdesign.ca had a great year, it started off on another server where it basicaly did nothing. Since moving it to Weebly it has surpassed all expectation and it's sister site radicalartisticdesign.com threefold.  I should have kept the monthly totals but I'm new at this, for the month of December 2012. .ca had 152 hits while .com had 52.  I hope I can keep this up in the new year by keeping things fresh and adding new content that will exciting.
I wish everone a Happy New Yea

Just got home from a meeting. While waiting for a show to load I checked in here and tthis website is sitting at 100 hits for the month with still a dozen days to go. Adding Jim's Art sure has helped.  Or people are just landing here by accident and then moving on. Anyway I never thought I would get 100 hits.
Now if the .com website could pick up the pace, you are way behind when you used to lead the way.
 Also there are several ways that viewers can leave a comment or suggestion.  A little feed back can lead to a richer site.
