Larimer's Lair

A place for me to document what's on my mind at any given point in time, and to promote my book "Organ Donation: Why My Heart's Not In It Anymore" which I have posted to my forum of the same name and is available free for anyone to read there.

It's now been 22 years since my son died

Yes, it has now been 22 years since my son's death.  I came back here today for the first time in months, and then I went back and read what I wrote about the book "The Organ Thieves."  I also noted that it had almost 800 views, which may or may not mean anything, but it would be my hope that it means there are lurkers reading what I write.  But then, I wish everybody would read everything I write.

These days I am torn between writing about brain death and organ donation and writing about LGBTQiA+ issues which I have now been studying and following for over 30 years.  I think the transgender issue is taking our society in the wrong direction.

Most recently, I've read the books "The Coddling of the American Mind" and "Irreversible Damage," both of which I have critiqued in the same manner that I critiqued "The Organ Thieves."  
 
My husband and I have now been married for 55 years, and I just recently celebrated my 75th birthday.  My gait has changed a bit, and I am a couple inches shorter than I used to be, but other than that I guess I'm fine. (I say "I guess" because I still haven't been to a doctor in years.)  

More later,
Kathy , aka KATHY_OAK
 
About the Author
KATHY_OAKMy name is Kathy Larimer.  I was born in 1948, in Ohio, where I now live with my husband to whom I've been married since 1968 and with whom I've had four children-- three daughters and a son, in that order.  We now also have six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren  

     We also have one cat named Sky who came to us as a stray in 2009, and we also have a 14-year-old cockatiel that I inherited from my eldest daughter, and three parakeets that were hatched right here in our house in 2012.  

     My forum host name--"KATHY_OAK"--dates back to my first Delphi forum which focused on issues relating to the sex research of Dr. Alfred Kinsey who I very much wanted to "out" based on what I learned about him and how his sex research has been used to the detriment of our society and culture.  Thus, "OAK" is an acronym for "Outing Alfred Kinsey."    

    Now I've also taken on the issue of organ donation based on what I learned about it after my husband and I lost our 18-year-old son to brain death in 2001 and consented to donate his organs.  My book about it-- "Organ Donation: Why My Heart's Not In It Anymore" --is accessible free to read through my forum of the same name.  You can access my forum and book here:
