The truth is finally out. I’ve been carrying on an affair with a young man named Willy. Mr. Waddles and I were recently seen together at a local grocery store where we were shocked to find a camera in our faces.

*sigh*

Oh well. All good things must come to an end. I cannot continue my affair with Mr. Waddles now that the truth has been exposed.  

Just a quick note to apologize to you, my loyal readers.  I am very aware that my site is lagging worse than a granny making her way across a sheet of ice with a broken hip and one blind eye.        I hate this fact, and am doing everything in my power to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do at this point.

What happened is that my site was moved to a brand spankin’ new server, and somewhere along the way something with my site went awry.  Lucky me!  No other site on the server is being all sluggish and slow like mine is, so we are now in the process of trying to determine what the source of said sluggishness is.  In other words, we’re up to our eyebrows in technological BS!    

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate those of you who are sticking it out with me through this time. I know how frustrating it is to leave comments and whatnot…I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to do it.  If I could give all of you a big bear hug, I most certainly would!

I will shut up now…I just wanted to explain what’s up.  I can’t imagine it’ll take much longer to figure this issue out.  So please…PLEASE continue to hang in there!   

Some of you might remember a post I made a while back about a 32 year old guy named DeDe.  He lives in a remote village in Indonesia with his two children who he does his best to take care of.  He is a former fisherman who now suffers from a totally trippy skin condition that makes it look like he is literally turning into a tree.       I know it doesn’t sound possible, but heck yes, it is!!!

He has root like structures growing out of his body - branches that can grow up to 5cm a year and which protrude from his hands and feet, and welts covering his whole body.

The sad thing is that in an attempt to provide for his family, DeDe is now part of a circus show.     He’s in a “Freak Show”…which is just so sad to me. Doctors are totally baffled over this skin condition. I remember when I watched the special on DeDe last November, they mentioned that they thought they might have a cure for the condition. The fact that The Discovery Channel is advertising the special again tells me that he’s probably not cured.
