Ben's Story

Ben, me, is from Hutchinson, Kansas. I am married to Dennis Moyers. His schools include Hutchinson High School: Emporia State University (Art, Psychology). I volunteered at Family Health Care in the Vision Clinic and the Grove Project also at Family Health Care in KCKS. and at The Wyandotte Center in Art Makers, the art therapy dept.; until health prevented me from helping out,. My volunteering at my husband's practice in Kansas City, KS while providing help in young adults social program his previous department at the center.. When not dealing with his fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue/ Parkin's Disease, and other health issues, me and Dennis were restoring my black four door, black sedan, 1983 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbodiesel, ( named Chloe) the vintage car I used as a daily driver when i could drive to take his dog Abbey to the bark park to play and swim, Riverfront Park. .Unfortunately my favorite Vintage Mercedes was ruined with a screw driver in the radiator and the engine burned up, before I realized it leaked out all it's coolant,. It was vandalized beyond repair by a deranged, homophobic ,homeless man living out of his car at Riverfront Park according to witnesses. I got 250 bucks salvage for her, she had over 550,000 miles on her original engined but new transmission, so I got my money out of her. Felt sorry for the SMPI homeless man and Lawrence police would not have done anything to him anyway, they are too under staffed and busy to deal with something trivial as vandalism, as in the past dealings with them in Pinckney/ Old West Lawrence. They said I needed more proof to bring changes against the guy and " I could not get blood out of a turnip" they said. Love my insurance agent at State Farm, didn't turn it in, I didn't think it was fair to claim on it since it wasn't an accident. o replace Chloe the Benz, Bought an older Honda Element, love it better than the Benz and can load my wet dog in it and it doesn't hurt her, named Eddy after Edwina in AB FAB BBC comedy. Love her, can camp in her, also I am off the ground which helps with my fibromyalgia and my newly diagnosed Parkin's Disease, which is now in phase one almost phase two, I jump back and forth through phases now, Having knee surgery soon, summer or Fall, so I should be more mobile hopefully, and have had several other surgeries last few years, so I have been too busy for social media. Really do not miss it. Dennis graduated from KU with his MSW, 4.0 GPA as usual, and is working in KC for Wyandotte Center for Behavioral Health as a service coordinator, loves his job. He is starting his MBA program in the fall with friends where he got his HR degree so he can advance in his career. My interests include: collecting Asian and modern art: Ansel Adams, Georgia O'Keefe, Mid century obscure art and Asian antiques, and swimming/water Yoga, The Denver Broncos, Kansas Un...Expand for more
iversity - KU Jayhawk Basketball, Airbus FanClub. Music he likes includes ATB, Robyn, Iron And Wine. Books he likes include "Howard"s End"," Daniel Deronda", "Pride & Prejudice".

TV show he loves include:: "Vicious", "Sense8"" Ab Fab","Little Britain", and most PBS Masterpiece Mini series. This all must have been listed from Facebook, lol.Collecting foreign cookbooks and retro or obscure ones. One of Ben's favorite quote is basically anything::"anything Oscar Wilde said" He loves,.""Life imitates art" - Oscar Wilde More about Ben... I have been with my husband Dennis 49, for over twenty nine years; legally married three in August, we had met at WSU when I was in grad school, Dennis is and will always be the love of my life.".We have had three weddings, an exchange of vows on a beach in Cancun in 1990, A formal Holy Union in Indianapolis in 2009 at the Gothic Chapel at Crown Hill/ Indianapolis, IN. and A legal marriage/wedding in Sydney, Iowa in 2013, with our reception in Kansas City. We live in Lawrence Kansas/ South west side, and plan to live here the rest of our live, maybe lol.. Moved from our house in Pinckney /Old Lawrence neighborhood into a more manageable, beautiful, apartment in Parkway Commons, less maintenance, plus a pool, helps my joints and offers me exercise through Water Yoga.. Love it here, great neighborhood on the south west side of Lawerence close to Clinton Lake, for Abbey, Outlet Park and off leash bark park minus homeless vandals. I love our Corgi/Chihuahua the water baby. With the flooding, she misses the water. May move closer to K.C, KS. so Dennis's commute is closer looking at different places to live, smaller towns. Lived in KC, but love Lawrence more now, didn't for a while, but things here are getting back to normal. Dennis bought a BMW 328i he spends a great deal of time making sure it is perfect and has a great mechanic in KC taking care of her,, Lady Di, He tried hated Baron BMW, had a bad experience, before he even took her in for maintenance , never went back, takes her to some guy on SW BLVD. I miss my Mercedes and all the people looking and asking about her, but the Element is more practical, ugly, but practical and can be modified for handicap usage when the time comes for me to be in a wheel chair. Hopefully not too soon. I spend most of my time in bed resting, but I try to get out and walk the dog at least once a day, 10 to 15 mins, not very long, but an old Italian Cookbook said it is best to go outside everyday no matter what the weather is like to appreciate life more, and I believe it's true, All is well, enjoying life and just maintaining my pain levels with great doctors and surgeons.
