On Universal Civil Rights
I have been thinking a lot about civil rights issues tonight. The thoughts kinda came on from listening to an interview Lynda Carter did on the radio tonight. See, she Grand Marshalls for a lot of Gay Pride parades, especially in her hometown of Phoenix. So, naturally, the conversation moved from her music to her support of Civil rights. ( Read more... ) -
A travesty ...
I have just found out about a sweet little boy in Russia named Kirill. A little boy with Down Syndrome. He has spent the first four years of his life in an orphanage and, but for one hurdle, would be joining an adopted family this month. What is the hurdle? The judge over adoptions in his region of Russia refuses to grant an adoption for a ( Read more... ) -

I don't normally write on moral or religious subjects, but something happened recently to a good friend of mine that really has me thinking, not only about the morality of the incident, but of the degeneration of morals in general in today's society. Just don't ask me for names, because you won't get them!

Miracles of chiropractic
After less than six months in chiropractic care, I can officially say it is working miracles. For me and for Leland both. Other than standard arthritis, my pain and stiffness are nearly gone. I seem to be gradually handling chemicals better, though I am still very sensitive. But a couple of interesting things have happened. First of all, it ( Read more... ) -
Native American Code of Ethics ...
Let me start by saying that I don't know one way or the other whether or not this really is what it portends to be; but whether it truly comes from Native American culture or not, this list is a good set of ethics to live your life by. And maybe some of my Native American In-laws will see this and comment on its veracity.

My son is frightening. I made some cookies tonight or, rather, I baked some. It was frozen dough from the store. I made enough for three each. As I was sitting down with mine, Lee came up to me trying to get me to give him more. "Mommy, I only had three ... I need FIVE." I was mostly done with one cookie, had two left. Somehow he managed to ( Read more... ) -
Are there no simple answers?
I am learning that not even my masks are enough to keep me safe all the time. I had a really bad reaction Friday night despite wearing the mask. I was at a friend's house and someone came over who was wearing perfume. True to form, I was far too chicken to actually say something to her about it. Wish I had now because I ended up going home ( Read more... ) -
Wow!
Today I somehow managed to get out of the house without my mask. I have no idea where the one from my purse went. But BOY was it eye opening! So, for the first time all week, I ended up walking Ayanna to school without my mask on. Halfway into the 1/4 mile walk to Ayanna's school I was feeling more fatigued than I have felt all week. By the ( Read more... ) -
Newsflash re: Comments
I am really notoriously stubborn about comments. I refuse to post them unless I really like the comment or the person identifies themselves. I have had far too many problems with trollish comments. Well, apparently now LiveJournal lets you comment using your Facebook or Twitter accounts. And it all counts as identifying yourself! So, YAY for ( Read more... )
