“Freedom is measured by the distance between church and state”
waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Haven’t had an ibu since 3:00 this morning. Or maybe it was 6:00….? Whatever. After whining and feeling crummy most of the morning, I went ahead and got into my dye jobs for the day, and now I’m feeling almost nothing. I mean, it’s still there, [...]
Yesterday I thought my head was getting better, until I got zinged while getting some things at Kroger. Very wierd to be walking the aisle collecting what I went for then suddenly doubled over my cane, pressing my head, waiting for a massive twinge to pass…. then just as quickly it dissolved and I went [...]
Okay, so John McCain got an endorsement from a big televangelist, John Hagee, from San Antonio. Hagee is BIG. If you’ve seen him on television (how could you NOT, large as he is) you’ll recognize his bullshit for what it is. He wants the U.S. to join Israel in attacking Iran in order to hasten [...]
It’s not piercingly painful, but my head continues to hurt from just over my eyebrow, around over the ear and the back of my head and up over the top. Feels numb with twinges and tingles from time to time.
I just read this article about “To accommodate Muslim students, Harvard tries women-only gym hours”. This is not only silly, but highly offensive. WHY would a secular institution be expected to bend and make special rights for certain groups like this?
When I first read it, I thought “Well, maybe some women really are uncomfortable [...]
I HATE seeing profile pictures of guys wearing shades/sunglasses. It doesn’t make you look “cool”, or “sexy”, or “hip”. It makes you look like you are hiding something. If I can’t see your eyes, you sure as hell can’t expect me to listen to your words or read your posts. You aren’t worth it. Take [...]
I just created a page on this topic. It seemed too large for a regular post here.
Forty years ago today
The life I knew was stripped away
Mom was gone and Mother came
Never again the same old game.
Okay, back story: Mother kicked Dad out of the house in January, she went on welfare and was getting commodities foods and a little money for expenses. I guess this was in the days before food [...]
Okay, I found what I was looking for. Both candidates have their issues, plans, and policies up on their official Web sites. (Why was it so hard to find the first eleventy-seven times I tried it???)
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
Enjoy.
Okay, I know for a fact that I have to vote for either Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama. Either would probably be okay, but when I try to do some Web Search on positions and policies, I’m finding more “advertising” and blogging pages with attacks against the other. That’s bullshit. I get so sick of [...]
I swear, this is one totally fucked up day.
I don’t know if it is the changing weather, frustration with the goddamned digital camera, Dreamweaver crapping out several times, or maybe I’m getting a cold.
Whatever.
I want to burn my house down with all the yarns and books and everything in it, and just walk away. This, [...]
There was a discussion recently on Ravelry (the knitting community) in the Atheist & Agnostic group, regarding how much time atheist spend talking about God. And yes, it IS sort of silly, but I commented that
But usually it isn’t so much that people really believe in their superstitions, but the fact that their actions [...]
237 - Regionalism and Religiosity « Strange Maps offers an interesting glimpse of Religious America. (Strange Maps is NOT a religious site but a fascinating blog-collection of all sorts of fun maps, some real and some imaginary.) This particular map was developed by calculating the (self-reporting?) number of adherents in each Christian/Christian-based religious [...]
This is too funny, and on tooooo many levels to warrant further comment from me … but you are always welcome to speak your piece.
Thanks to a link from DTStrain’s blog I found a link to TED which stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, and there I found a most engaging presentation by the Rev. Tom Honey, a Vicar in the Church of England, who speaks to the question of God in light of disasters. It is intelligent, thought-provoking, [...]
Shame on them.
I’m being really good, going about my OWN BUSINESS, heading to the market to make groceries, right?
I have my list in my hand. I know how much money is in my checking account. I am very VERY good about sticking to what is ON MY LIST.
Well, okay, never mind that I am never [...]
Yesterday I mentioned I might want to take some sort of dance class. Today I think maybe I’ll just start with Walking 101. Sheesh.
I set out for my morning walk up to the corner market. Not even halfway there and my left calf suddenly cramped or seized or whatever. You know when you stretch way [...]
wow. I do feel WAY MUCH MORE better this morning than I did yesterday. I can still feel the remnants of the head thingie, but not nearly as much. It’s more like the remnants of a bruised bump you got last week or something. I’m still going to take some more ibuprofen for one more [...]
