“Freedom is measured by the distance between church and state”
Okay, it is a GOOD thing to make fun of goofy commercials, right?
But today on the NEWS — you know that stuff: it’s where everyone puts on a serious face and attempts to relay to us the events of the day, at the local, state, national, and sometimes even international levels, and all while keeping [...]
this morning I came across a site (poodwaddle.com) where I found a “real age” test. I went and answered all their questions, and this is what came back:
So, if I’m reading this right, based on how I live (various lifestyle questions), I am younger than my biological age, AND y’all are gonna have to [...]
The ibuprofen kicked in.
The yarns are dyed (Glacier Lake and Lake Berry).
I am trying to master a new (for me) toe-up cast-on. I’ve only done it five or six times since last night, and I STILL don’t have a completed toe. This is with the Briggs & Little Durasport, the small single-ply sock yarn. I’m [...]
no, not hang-over, not “sick”.
I am SOOO fucking goddamn fuck fuck fucking tired of allatime hurting. wrists, elbows, fingers, knees, inside the bones of my feet. EVERYthing goddammit hurts goddamit FUCK! (Yes, I already did: 2 ibuprofen; it’s helping somewhat.)
I am fucking tired of all these goddamn fucking cockroaches and ants crawling on my toes [...]
Busy Saturday ahead for me.
Last night went to my daughter’s b’day party. Very nice, loads and loads of pleasant people. I was only planning to stay a short while, thinking it would be mostly younger people. I was mistaken. On both counts. hehehehehe
I’m not much of a drinker in real life, but since my [...]
Uhhh…. ’scuze me, but why would ANYone wear a garment like this? It was an ad placed on the comic strip page of For Better or For Worse (one of the best comic strips around, imho–I’ve been following it for over 15 years, first in the [...]
Today I called the accounting business place that my daughter recommended (the company my son-in-law uses for his business). I need to get my papers and sh*t in order, and I know that I’m not qualified (yet) to do this on my own. I am fiercely independent on many things, but on [...]
There is a whole Web site devoted to the issue of what might happen on or about December 21, 2012. And there are almost 59,000 links available from Google.
It would be impossible for me to sift through it all and reach any sort of conclusion about that date. But it continues to niggle at me [...]
So after agonizing, whining, and complaining about current (hopefully short-term) financial situations, this morning I clicked over to The Daily Word. This is what I found:

Prosperity
As a child of God, I gratefully accept my inheritance of God’s good.
My given name, my role as a family member, friend, [...]
Sitting here waiting for dinner to finish cooking …. and then realizing OOPS, I forgot to start the dinner cooking!
(I blame it on having FOUR giant stock pots on the stove all day for dyeing.) Okay, so now that I actually DO have something preparing, let’s look at some other random stuff.
Have you been [...]
We Are Here: The Pale Blue Dot.
Stop what you are doing. Click on that link and take a moment to think about (ponder, wonder, humble yourself in awe) and then reconsider the choices that have been made. The choices you have made. I have, and I will again. And probably again. And maybe even [...]
After doing all my prelim stuff, and then getting read to dye yarns today, I noticed it was SUNNY (woo-hooo, after eleventy-seven days of rain-rain-rain I was SOO happy), I pulled out the electric edger, and the push mower and ran it all over the GGS in the front yard. O’course it was just after [...]
Yup… check it out. From KHOU.com:
Sick of the rain? You could be — literally

Sick of all the rain? You could be — literally.
Turns out some symptoms that a lot of folks think are allergies are actually something else.
When it rains in [...]
Today is Friday the 13th.
All across the country and around the world, it is the same date everywhere.
This morning I was pleased and gratified that several major deposits were FINALLY made from PayPal into my banking account.
So I pulled out my little pile of bills that were due.
I tore off the return portion of those [...]
Okay, so I’ve been busy with work issues and things are going fine. Would be finer if things were better, but I am satisfied and happy on that score, over all. It’s just a process. On a couple of points it is a learning process, and some of it is an expensive learning process. Oh [...]
The dog was still here this morning (see yesterday’s post), so I called Animal Control. They still haven’t showed up. While I was on the porch talking to them on the phone, the dog was lapping coffee out of my mug. Such boldness!
I hope they come get her soon, or she finds her way to [...]
I’ve been feeding a Mama Cat and Baby Cat (ferals) on the front porch for a few days.
This evening I went out onto the porch, found the food dish AND water bowl knocked off the porch. Guess what was on the porch instead?
She is absolutely beautiful, a bit smaller than Hazel was. Certainly [...]
I have had an exceptionally good weekend. In fact, since Wednesday, things have been looking UP. Very up. Business is good.
I know that I am vulnerable to taking my emotional cues from external circumstances. When things go well, I get very VERY happy, but when there’s even a suggestion of a [...]
I was perusing a humorous site full of Geek quotes, many of which seemed written by, for, or about ME!
But one in particular really struck me as a totally new perspective that (apparently) no one has mentioned before:
The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty; it is simply twice as large as it needs to be.
Whoa. [...]
This morning I was doing my normal early morning online routine (my favorite comics, Dear Abby, Astronomy Pic of the Day, and then Daily Word) Today’s reading from Daily Word is this:

With my heart open to God, I receive divine understanding.
