I am a divorced middle age white male. I was once in the U.S. Navy. My favorite country I've been to was Australia. I spent three glorious days there on shore leave. Thanks for the hospitality "Shiela and Shiela", I'll never forget my time in Perth and Fremantle. I have also been to Canada(I live near the border), France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Mauritius Africa.

I have always loved cartoons. Maybe that is why people tell me I look young for my age. My ancestry is mostly Scots/Irish. I often go to The Highland Games, yes, I wear me Kilt! I speak English of course, but also speak some French and Gaelic. I am really happy that my fanfics have been read by people in many countries, including China and Russia! My stories get a lot of "hits" from Greece and Australia. Gracias, Merci, and Thank You to all who take time to read this and my stories.

My Fanfic "Caring Mission Down" had the best first month debut of any of my stories. Thank you if you were one of those readers.

You can see a picture taken of me dressed as a Brony at http:///

It was taken just a few months ago, so that is how I really look as of now. Yeah, we middle aged Bronies are a scary looking lot. But we are not evil. So you see I am not a bad guy. I just never really grew up and love cartoons.

I write these FanFics for all of you who still have a bit of kid in you. If you never really grow up then you never really grow old. I am often told I look like I did when I was Thirty. I hope I can stay that way for a few more years. By the way I have a State of Maine Criminal History and Background Check Certificate. I am a Certified Good Guy. A few years ago a reader told me "if you Truly believe in Care Bears you age slower". So take the Care Bears to Heart and live longer!

Thanks to everyone who take the time to read one of my Stories. I wish I had a dime for every time one got read, I might actually have some money to live on. Yes, I am a low income person at the moment, oh well, what the 'ell! I am still helping The Elderly and the Disabled but my hours got cut.

I read all Reviews and Comments on my stories. I take very seriously how other's feel about them. I noticed a pattern in past Reviews. So for "Marina and her Best Friend Valerie" I appreciate your Reviews. What Country are you from? I am guessing Peru. I love to hear from People all over The World. As for my age I am over 45 and under 60 and told I look like I did when I was 30. I am one of those People who never really grew up and I hope I can stay that way for many more years. I don't like mentioning my real age as that was once used against me in a Care Bears Forum. One's age should not matter if one is writing Articles and Stories that are Rated PG and less, as most of my Stories and Poems are. Indeed age should not matter at all as The Human Mind is limitless when it comes to Imagination and Creativity.

Update: January 11, 2015: Wow! When I check to see what Stories have been Read on a given Day I also keep note of how many Views (Hits) there were for the Day. I consider 20 or more as a great Day. Up to now 52 was the most. Well yesterday, 1/10/15 there were 83 Views of my Stories! That shatters all previous Daily Views. Thank You to all who read one of my Stories, and a Special Thank You to all who read one on the tenth." .

June 10, 2015: I will soon start another Story, I have been busy with my latest Poem. In case you are curious here is the link to it:

If the Link doesn't work just go to the Link up above where you can see my picture and Gallery.

6-27-2016: It still amazes me at how well "Understanding Grumpy" has done since I had it published here. At 1524 Views it is now 89 ahead of "Good Luck's Wish". "Hush Little Cub Don't You Cry" has quietly crept up to being my third most read Story. Close behind is "Torn Between Two Worlds". That is a pleasant surprise. Although I had it listed as Rated M I still thought some may complain about the mild Sexual "scene" in it. Instead it has had a steady hit of Viewers with no complaints. It has even been read in China! It is always overwhelming to know my Stories get read in places like Greece, Peru and other places on The Earth. I Wonder if any Aliens in Space have intercepted and deciphered them. Apparently some Care Bears have. I have received some strange and interesting messages over the years. I really like it when my stories get read in Australia. A Piece of my Heart still lies in Perth and Fremantle.

8/25/2016: I originally became a Care Bears fan because of Shreeky and Treat Heart Pig. As a Kid my Parents raised Pigs. I always found Sow (female) Pigs to be cute animals. Especially as Piglets. My latest story involves Treat Heart Pig and my Custom Character Sweet Treat Pig. I always liked Beastly too. Good Girls do like Bad Boys, and vice versa. My Mother once said that of of me after my Teen Girl Friends more than once pulled some bad stunts.

One of my personal favorites is seldom read. I actually considered deleting it. Here is the Song that inspired that Story ("I Met a Bear"). Originally it had a subtitle which disappeared when uploaded (Up in The Hills). I first heard this song many years ago. My Parents had it on a Record they bought when they were first married. As a Kid I liked it, it was one of the first songs I ever learned to play on guitar... Key of D Major.or you can Google "I Heard the Blue Bird Sing" by The Browns. Here is a link: or Google "I Heard the Blue Bird Sing"

Lately I have been having trouble getting Links to work correctly. Not sure if it's my Computer or the System.

11/02/2016: Wow! "Sharing the Warmth" did become my highest debuting Story ever. Thanks to all who have read it. My newest Story has something I try to avoid in most Stories. It includes a death. It is ironic that to get a chance to live one has to eventually die. I was surprise at how well Readers accepted my pairing of Grizzle and Lovalot. Those Stories have done so well. "He's Coming Home" is my latest of Grizzle and his little Family. The idea came as I suddenly heard the song "Major Tom Coming Home" in my head. The names of Grizzle's Parents where whispered into my mind as I looked up and said aloud "so Grizzle, what was your Mother's name". I clearly heard "Peek a Boo" whispered. Then I did the same for Grizzle's Father. Nothing. Then a minute later as I went to make some Coffee I saw the Constellation Orion (The Hunter) in my head. I looked up and said "so is his name Orion or Hunter?" Very softly I heard "Hunter". It may sound odd, but that is how I got those Names.12/31/2016: A New Year is upon us. I hope 2017 is a wonderful Year for all who read this.

2/15/2017: Yesterday was my Birthday. I am over half a Century old in Human Years. Sure am glad I age like a Care Bear! I even had someone ask why I have no grey hair. They probably don't believe I use no hair dye. True Heart once told me "if a you truly believe in Care Bears you will age like one". So believe!

3/11/2017: Yesterday (a Friday) there were 73 Views of my Stories. I think that is a record high for one day's views. Thank You to all who "dropped in".

5/232017: I recently wrote my first "Arthur" fanfic. Called "Nadine for Real". I went out of my comfort zone in writing it. Most of my Works have been Care Bears based. I am happy to say Nadine has now had the third best Monthly debut of any of my Stories. Nadine and I would like to thank all who read it. A recent episode where Nadine makes a Time Machine Tri-cycle seemed to confirm my beliefs about her!

6/11/2017:Wow! Talk about a "sleeper". I was puzzled as to why my story "TuTu Cute" never seemed to get read much. Well, this week it has had over 60 "hits". Suddenly some one, some Bear, or some Care Cousin has discovered it. Thanks to all who read it!

7/23/2017: Well, "Scare Shared" was another sleeper. Written as a Halloween {Samhain} story, it did not get read much during the Season. Lately it has been getting read a lot. Right now I am working on what could be a series of GrumpyxShare stories. "Whatever May Be" being the first. I had a request for a story where Grumpy sires (fathers) a Cub. Well, Share has a say in that. Surprise tells me she knows how to get Share in the right mood, Grumpy too.

10/28/2017: I usually publish a Halloween story this time of year. However they have not been too popular. So on request I wrote a Bedtime Bear story. I hope you all enjoy "Bedtime for Beastly". Thank you for reading my stories.

It's 2018!

1/01/2018: Happy New Year to everyone. Happy Hogmanay to the people of Scotland, and those of Scottish descent. For every one who read or commented on my Stories in 2017 I say Thank You very much. It has been very cold here. So shaggy Care Bears should be happy. Treat Heart Pig really needs a Sweater if she drops in for a visit in this part of Maine. If I could have a few New Year wishes they would be for a Year with no Wars on Earth. For Children to be happy and healthy. For Adults to have less to worry about. For World Leaders use their heads and their hearts. Take Care everyone, and take care of others.

1/23/2018: I was glad to get some nice Reviews for my two Arthur stories which feature Nadine. I went out of my comfort zone in writing those. Glad it was appreciated. I always like getting Reviews, even the bad ones. You can't please everybody, every Bear, Care Cousin or those from other Dimensions. Nadine Flumberghast fascinates me, as does Surprise Bear. I hope all who read this have some nice pleasant surprises to brighten your lives.

2/14/2018: Glad to see my stories are getting read today. It's my Birthday! Yeah, I am over 50 in Human Years but thankfully age like a Care Bear. True Heart came to me in a dream. She let me experience the true downfall of No Heart. True Heart the First was a truly awesome Being. I would write the story of it but it would negate some of my stories. No Heart had thought he had magically made her disappear. Then I heard her voice (yeah, she was invisible) say as she laughed:" you have spelled out your own doom" as Beastly ran like Heck to get away. It was a frightening, yet awesome thing to experience.

2/26/2018: "Understanding Grumpy" is the first of my stories to go over 2000 Views. "Good Luck's Wish" should soon join it. "Hush Little Cub Don't You Cry" remains very popular too. Despite some sexual overtones "Torn Between Two Worlds" is also very well read with few complaints. In fact "Good Lusk's Wish" has had more complaints. Oh well!

4/25/2018: "Too Much Care" was written by request. It has had a great debut so thanks for the idea. We still have some snow on the ground here. There are Spring Showers in the forecast so the Snow may soon disappear. I am about 2/3s into finishing my next Story. It includes some Generation One characters and Care Bear transportation. The one Story I thought may get panned when I published it has instead done rather well. It is still the most blogged. I am referring to "Grizzle's Fall to Grace". I am amazed at how well it has been received over the years. LovalotXGrizzle has become one Care Bear romance that been readily accepted by the masses. May the happy Odd Couple raise a glass of Bumble Berry Wine in a Toast to all who love them!

PS: of May 1 "Too Much Care" had about the third best debut of any of my Stories. GrumpyXShare stories are so popular. Why aren't more official Episodes written on that theme? It really mystifies me.

8/16/2018: I did re-write "I Met a Bear". It now has the subtitle that disappeared on the original upload. I am so happy that one of my own Original Characters, Miracle Joy, has garnered a fandom of her own. Visit DeviantArt and look under "Izzabelle and Canopy?" by OopsyBearOS. I love his depiction of Grizzle's and Lovalot's daughter. You may also stumble on her image in my profile on DeviantArt. So far there is two pictures of her. Thank you OopsyBearOS!

11/27/2018:"Daddy's Little Helper (Mommy's little headache) was well appreciated by the Fan I wrote it for. I love his depiction of Miracle Joy(see above). I was a little disappointed by the Requestor's reaction to "Sleep Dreams". However some Reviews have made me feel a little better. Lately the "Arthur" fans have been nicer than most of the Care Bear fans. Remember, I am not afraid to speak the Truth or tell someone just how I feel. So be nice to me and I will be nice to you. No one is perfect and my Stories will never be perfect. I come from an area where a mixture of French and English Culture affects how we speak and write. I am also Dyslexic and sometimes my spell checker lets me down when I spell backwards. Also there are Road signs where Centerville is also listed as Centreville, etc. So spelling can be a bit touchy around here. This was disputed area after The American Revolution. With a stroke of a Quill Pen a roughly 4 mile x 9 mile strip of land ended up in the U.S.A. So if I don't write like you think someone from the Northern U.S.A. should write remember this area was once Canadian to some of its occupants, some were French Canadian. So we had a unique beginning, and we are still proudly unique. I know a lot of people who are Dual Citizens.

Thanks to all who do read and appreciate my Stories. It is now the Christmas Season so be nice to others. Not only are The Care Bears watching you, so is Santa and his Elves. Treat Heart said to tell you to eat well during the Christmas Season, just don't be a Hog.

12/1/2018: A Tribute to Stephan Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob Squarepants. He died of ALS, known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, on November 26,2018. He was one Heck of a creative Artist/Writer.

12/11/2018: So hard to believe one of my earliest Stories is once again my most read Story. "Understanding Grumpy" has 2334 Views while "Good Luck's Wish" stands at 2206 at the moment. "Hush Little Cub, Don't You Cry" is now in third place. Surprisingly "Torn Between two Worlds" is closing in. Despite some Mature content it has garnered no complaints. Shreeky and Too Loud have proven Odd Couples can make Life work in their favor. As have my pairing of Grizzle and Lovalot. Their daughter and my Custom Bear, Miracle Joy, now has her own fan base. One of her biggest fans is mentioned above. The end of the year Holidays are fast approaching. No matter your Religion or non belief may your Holidays or ordinary days be merry and bright.

For those in the Southern Hemisphere it will soon be Summer. The calendar says it is still is Autumn here in Maine. However I have eight inches of Snow in my yard. Speaking of the Southern Hemisphere, part of my Heart still lies in Fremantle, Australia. It has been many years but I still think of you, "Sheila" and "Sheila". That's no misprint. Either one should remember my Joke which led to two of the best days of my Life. Sadly the ship I was on, the Carrier U.S.S. Independence, CV-62 was recently scrapped.

12/22/2018: Not a good day. I may have to take a pause in writing. My Mother fell on a patch of ice and broke her hip. I was considering stopping for a while anyway. I wrote

"A Mission to the Edge of The Unknown" to make a certain Boy happy. The Story got panned by many. Remember, some of my Stories were requests, so don't go raining on other Readers' parades. I wrote "Sleep Dreams" by request. I never got Thanked for doing so. All that effort in writing should deserve at least a little bit of good recognition.

The most gracious Requestor lately has been the one I wrote "Daddy's little Helper, Mommy's little headache" for. I love his renditions of an older Miracle Joy and the Robot lover he drew up for her. My Stories have suddenly been subject to many more harsh criticisms than usual. That hurts. Keep that up and I may get too discouraged to write. I am dyslexic and sometimes my Spell Checker lets me down. I also can't see well. I can't afford new eye glasses. .

12/25/2018: Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. My Mother is still in the Hospital. We hope she can be Home for New Years.

P.S. : Mom was released from the Hospital Jan. 4.

1/26/2019: I am seldom sick. However I started to feel as if I had a bladder or kidney infection. Well, it is a Prostate infection, something only Males can get. So I am on antibiotics for awhile. Hope you all are feeling better than I!

2/16/2019: My Birthday was on Valentines Day, you can figure out my age if you are a careful reader of my stories. I am about 19 years old in Care Bear years. I have some more medical tests to go through March 11. I just got granted Free Care through our local Hospital/Clinic through May 23 so that should ease my worries a bit. I will probably have to have a biopsy. Hope you all are having better health. One bit of good news... my Stories had 72 "hits" on the 15th. That may be a record for my Stories. Thanks to all dropped by that day! What a nice belated Birthday present.

3/28/2019: Good news bad news. "Harmony sings The Blues" had a great debut. My Stories are on par for one of their best monthly reads ever. Now the bad news. After experts in Boston looked over my Biopsy slides they did find Prostate Cancer cells. I am seeing a Doctor tomorrow to see about treatment options. So my writing may take a back seat to Cancer for a while. Please pray that all turns out well within a few months. I do hope to keep writing as long as I am able for as many years as I am able. However only God knows for sure.

5/11/2019:I started Radiation Therapy on the 8th. To add insult to injury I have a bad cold so I am not feeling well. I am working on a new story. It will feature Beastly and Gentle Heart. With all that is happening I am not sure when I will get it published. I have to travel 72 miles per day to get the Hospital to get "zapped".

7/10/2019: On July the Ninth I had my 44th and final Radiation Treatment for Cancer. So I am now officially a Cancer Survivor. So hopefully this Care Bear fan will be around for quite a while.

9/25/2019: Thank you to all who sent well wishes to me during my battle with Cancer. It seems strange to think of oneself as a Cancer Survivor. Care Bear fans show they truly care when they show concern for fellow (and female) fans who are down but not out. On another note I am happy my story "In Our Beginning" is doing well. Crossover stories don't always fare too well. Once again Thank you to the fan who suggested it.

11/19/2019: Winter arrived early here! We had a "White Halloween". Today I couldn't get to work due to freezing rain and snow. My story "Sharing the Warmth" is rapidly climbing in popularity. The weather here today is just like that in my story! So I can just picture Share and Grumpy sitting close together by a heat source. Take care if you have to move about in inclement weather.

1/2/2020: I hope everyone had a great New Years day, or a great Hogmanay for those in Scotland. Last year was a tough one for me. However I am still alive and able to write. May 2020 bring good luck to us all. Hey Wish Bear, Hopeful Heart and Good Luck, sounds like a good Care Mission for you in 2020. May Surprise Bear show up bearing good surprises. May Share help all Care Bears and Cousins share good times to those deserve them.

5/25/2020: It is Memorial Day in The U.S.A. To all who have served in our Military I give a Salute. May those who perished find their way to Heaven. I saw some awful things while serving in The United States Navy. And that was mainly during so called peacetime, but not all. I can still recall the smell of Beirut's harbor water. To this day I can't stand the smell of firecrackers. It reminds me of the smell of Cordite. Here in the U.S.A. please try to enjoy this Holiday, which is being curtailed due to Covid 19. Thanks to all who read this and my stories.

5/30/2020: Due to massive computer failure and current horrid Internet Access in this part of Maine it may be awhile before I can get some new Stories uploaded. Drat! I need to learn the ins and outs of another computer. The Internet Access, well, hopefully the ones who control that get their crap together! My Parents and my Sister are also having access problems.

7/20/20: It seems as if this Covid19 Pandemic is endless. Despite this area of Maine being lightly hit with cases we are in shutdown mode. I am well so far. Can't get many hours at Work lately. I have been getting by by Dog Walking and Pet Setting. Hope all of the readers of this Board are doing well. For Collectors there are still nice Care Bear Treasures to be found. While visiting the local Catholic Charities Thrift Store my Sister and Mother came across a nearly mint Secret Bear. Knowing that I have a Surprise Bear they bought her for me. I said "thanks, I wonder what's her secret as my Surprise Bear has a secret storage pocket in her back". I found what looks like a tiny flower on Secret's back. I pulled it and she talked! What a nice secret.
