About: DANIELLE’S PINCHED NERVE BLOG

“Danielle’s Pinched Nerve Blog”

Because you don’t know me at all, but I’d like you to!

Danielle’s Pinched Nerve Blog is a repository of opinion, articles, letters, thoughts, pictures, links, and stories, mostly dealing with homeless advocacy, with some politics, religious and spiritual,  military, home life, computers, and some subjects too personal to make public.  You won’t see these, of course.  I document everything I possibly can.

Disclaimer:

This is a personal weblog.  The opinions expressed here represent my own, and not those of anyone twisting my arm to say them.

I try my very best to consider all to whom I write;  I  document and check everything eventually, I give others credit where due with links to them–however,

All data and information provided on this site is for informational purposes only.  Danielle’s Pinched Nerve Blog makes no representations  as to accuracy, completeness, current-ness, suitability, or validity of any information on this site and will not be liable for any errors, omissions, or delays in this information or any losses, injuries, or damages arising from its display or use.  All information is provided on an as-is-basis.

Pinched Nerve Blog is an annotated collection of my best articles individually imported (cut & pasted) from L.J. (Live Journal) as a parallel set of the same posts.

So, Word Press is a backup for my LJ blog, and visa-versa LJ is backed up by my WP blog. Come and visit me frequently, and read about homeless from one who has been there, and still can’t shake it off.

The latest post on WP is not actually the most recent work–I develop articles in LJ first, or in WORD doc. then transfer when finished–but they never are–an editor’s job never seems to be done–Whenever possible, I will use “breaking news”, “work in progress”,  “coming soon” and “updates as available”.

I always find mistakes, or think of something else to add.  Spelling is not my strong subject.  I try to get articles over here as soon as they are presentable, and mostly finished–managing two blogs is work!  Some subjects have higher priority, such as homeless related material.  Refresh often.  I edit, re-edit and re-edit again, just so you know.  Also, both editors at times give me trouble, with certain things, like fonts, or having the material look right after pasting it.  Some articles lack spacing between paragraphs, and I have yet to figure out how to fix that easily, although I have tried.  Oh well.

I want to insure that my writings will be available to friends of the community I live in, Eugene, Oregon, most importantly, and to any classmates,  relatives, or friends back in Pennsylvania;  and to be saved on the Internet in the event I die; whenever the Internet is to die, well, I just hope it won’t!

Also, I was ready to take on more creative control of my work, by having two different looks for presentation for my liking, and for my readers.

Pinched Nerve also describes the biter/sweet  irony of aging and back injury, which happens in one’s life.  A pinched Sciatic nerve several years ago, necessitated surgery, with degeneration of disks ongoing.

A pinched nerve was my salvation–a very painful many years worth of suffering–throughout fifteen years of homeless hell–disability finally awarded me a way out of that hell, and here I am, over four years with a roof over my head, and money to pay the rent–all from a pinched nerve.  What can I say?

Pinched nerve blog is also the place for my edited, focused rant, anger, irritation, frustration, cynicism, protest, edginess, attitude, sarcasm, advocacy, and expose’s of past homeless struggle with the bigotry and discrimination, and the forces that seek to control and limit human enlightenment.

Pain colors one’s work, differently than peace.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and comment on my writing!

Sincerely,

Danielle Smith
