Eons Skin Gallery
posted over 3 years ago, updated 7 days later | 9 comments
Probably the best thing Eons has done for its members so far is the creation of the skin gallery. Not only does it make things easy for members to "snag" a skin for their profile page, but for those of us who like to be a little creative, it gives...
The Dogwood

An old and beautiful legend has it that, at the time of the crucifixion, the dogwood was comparable in size to the oak tree and other monarchs of the forest. Because of its firmness and strength it was selected as the timber for the cross, but to ...

If a child is abused and nobody hears her voice, did it not happen?
This is the truth for many victims of child abuse today. Perhaps it was by a family member or a friend of the family. Even more likely, that child was threatened by the possibil...

It amazes me that caring about children would create almost as much havoc on eons as lowering the age requirement to join. Eons is probably used to this. Things tend to run in cycles, people come and people go, but those that leave usually go quie...

It would seem odd to preface a blog about love with politics, but politics, or political discussions, are leading me to write this. Seems that the current political season has come down to two rather forgetful candidates on one side, and a third o...

Mom In Control

It seems that for the first time in her life, Mom is in control. Yes, she has dementia which will only get progressively worse, but when Dad decided he could no longer care for her and himself, he gave up controlling her. He still tries, but he is...

Wasn't quite sure whether to call this "More Adventures With Dementia" or something else, but I have to admit that if it were not so personal it would be funny. You just never know what will come out of the mouth of a person suffering from dementi...

My mother suffers from dementia. There, I said it, and believe me, it's not easy accepting that truth. Part of the disbelief came from not wanting to believe it, and part from how long my father hid it from us.
