Hello Fellow Kossacks. BlackWolf here. And now things are going to hell on me. The worse is that something is wrong with either the modem hub or the router so I cannot log on to DailyKos or eBay to get some things done. So I am writing this diary on the server PC which seems to be the only one working and loads faster than all the others in the house. Meaning I will have to wait until tomorrow before I can get mail service again.

It’s also raining so I can’t go outside and do much.

Meantime, Spike was cremated Saturday afternoon. The lady at the funeral home contacted me to confirm that. But at this time, she is still waiting on the death certificates so I won’t receive them or his ashes until probably Wednesday or Thursday.

Other than that I am doing well and I am trying not to go bonkers.

Some help is still needed and I would like some company from any Austin Kossacks. Those of you who left numbers for me will get a call from me later this week as I am still dealing with…..matters.

In the meantime, give me some ideas on how to stay sane…

Yours truly,

BlackWolf

Fellow Kossacks and Friends;

BlackWolf here.

It pains me to announce this, but my partner, known to all of you here as WolfmanSpike, passed away earlier this evening.

I found him on his back around the early evening and called 911. He never responded after a long attempt to resuscitate him. I am devastated, heartbroken and a wreck from his passing.

His brother, Jeff, is coming to Texas to help me with funeral arrangements and other matters to be dealt with. Details of memorials will be forthcoming within the next several days and I’ll do my best to keep you all informed and in the loop.

I am holding my own but have broken down several times tonight. Right now, I am in need of help and some friendly company. If any of you Austin Kossacks are around, please get in touch with me via KosMail for now.

My Warrior is gone, and now I am alone.

One of the many symbols of the Lupus Wolf

I have been wanting to write about this for many years. It's a idea substitution for another diary I was considering that was to have been titled 'Where's The Celebrity For My Disease?'. I have read here on Daily Kos from many of you who developed some form of cancer, heart disease, or many of the known ailments out there. I have even read about fundraising events for their diseases. But not one on Lupus. Now, this has changed. And in some surprising ways.

Donald Trump’s roots in Kallstadt
The grandparents of US presidential hopeful Donald Trump lived in Kallstadt, Germany. Director Simone Wendel has shot an amusing documentary film about the town and its famous son. Check this story out and watch the video as well as get a dose of European culture from the other stories as well.

Seems like his grandparents were not horrid according to the residents of Kallstadt, so what the hell happened to him?

My local PBS station has a third sub channel that shows programs like Euromaxx Highlights, Focus On Europe, Global 3000, and DW News. If your local PBS station doesn’t have these in their programming, ask them for it. After all, it’s almost fundraising time (we call it begging season). And it’s time to put up with Celtic Woman, Celtic Thunder, the late Dr. Wayne Dyer, and of course, Suze Ormand.

Enjoy the Trump family history and give to PBS.

Reposted from Star Trek.com:

StarTrek.com is saddened to report the passing of Arlene Martel, who died on August 12 following a heart attack. The veteran television and film actress had a career that spanned parts of seven decades, dating back to the golden age of television, but she was arguably best known for her role as T'Pring in the "Amok Time" episode of Star Trek: The Original Series.

In 1979, Marc Katz hit the food scene off of West 6th street with a restaurant and bar he called Katz's Deli. I was in high school the year that it opened and the food was great. I had gone there on and off for many years. When Netroots Nation came to Austin in 2008, Wolfman and I had the plesure of taking several attendees there for lunch and they loved the food and the atmosphere. Like many here in Austin, we thought Katz's would be here forever. Then the news hit me like a ton of bricks!!

OK, so I have been quiet for a while. But for my own benefit, I need to really know what really is Obama Care.

I was watching the crawl on my local news station, and a short sentence rolled by announcing the death of Heavy Metal singer Ronnie James Dio from stomach cancer. I then did a search on Goggle, Bing, and Yahoo for more information. My search resulted in conflicting reports from several Heavy Metal dedicated websites like Heavy Metal Underground have been flip flopping confirmation of his death.

Rarely do I watch 'The View'. I'm still kinda of steaming from when they trashed Ashley Judd a few months ago. But I couldn't resist watching as they had Glenn Beck on as a guest. And today, he got called out on a very fantastic tale he told his radio listeners about Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg. Well, they called him out on it!
