I used to write LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) book reviews for our statewide gay newspaper in Wisconsin. I share my writing in hopes of educating and informing the general population. I also write reviews on food, fashion, travel and anything else that strikes me as interesting. I try to respect everyone's personal beliefs whether I happen to agree with them or not. . Books, naturally . . . and art and food. I like a good long walk or a ride on my bike.

the writing style is so familiar. I finally got a comment on a piece after six months and decided to lurk around this site for a bit. I found your familiar face after I followed your name on SD's page. Ed
Fortunately I use Aleve only when I need it and I haven't needed it since I wrote this piece. I treat all my medications with respect, don't self-medicate and never overdose myself.

Lyla: Thankfully I have no back pain, just the hip and the knee, which are enough to keep me wincing. Thanks for the RR&C. Ed
I was inspired by 'Pete,' who wrote on Mangoe pickles. I am trying to get MS to add more 'How to' and other advice topics to all the food categories food so people can post recipes. Thanks for the RR & C (read, rate & comment) as we say on that other site. Ed
