When I was younger in my early twenties I believed EVERYTHING people told me. I knew people sometimes lied, but knowing this did not translate into doubting them. I can't entirely explain my incredible innocence back then. Innocence is often combined with the idealistic thought that people are good, intelligent, honest, decent, and able to do ( Read more... )

Well, Haliburton is in the news for loosing some sort of plutonium stick or something in West Texas. This has West Texas police departments gearing up for the influx of lots of "Mexican" Immigrants form some province of Mexico called Iran. Apparently, the Sheik of the Province, a mid-level Mexican official, has offered a substantial reward for ( Read more... )

I want to scream. I keep getting an annoying ringing in my ears in different parts of the house. After a while of this my head starts hurting and I start seeing flashing lights. It also is annoying enough to make me a bit irate. Bizarrely, if I move around the house it goes away for a few minutes then seems to "follow" me ( Read more... )

We'll people keep trying to kill me and no one reads this anyway... A SAC Commander wrote a paper on a possible future epidemic and crisis in the airline industry... somewhat like the exploding ferry boats of the 1800's ( Read more... )

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. OUCH. The negative result of being broke and out of work for an extensive stint is this. You end up pinching penny's by post-poning lots of routine "maintance" like re-placing a missing filling, buying new socks etc. Then poof you go "mad" when you actually have something come in and spend it all in one fell swoop. Ouch ( Read more... )

I did not want to leave it to the bank to move to the new location, so picked up my stuff. I've not looked a most of that stuff for several years... The bulk of which were old journals ( Read more... )

I have crossed my own personal line into eveel old ladyhood. I don't think I'm going to hell quite yet, well I've already been a couple of times and for innocence... so, I guess I'm in Double Jeopardy. No 'Hail Mary's' yet. lol.

Well, apparently, the United States Secret Service policy when Mitt Romney is coming to town is to follow, harass and heavily patrol areas of DC that are predominately Democrat. Apparently, I'm heavily Democrat... at least heavily enough to run into Eric Holder at dinnertime and wonder seriously if that woman at the opera is Michelle or a look-a- ( Read more... )

The girl was never sick a day in her life when she was drinking distilled water... she wondered why she had listened to the old woman's admonishment while she threw up for the third time in 24 hours... The old woman was so convincing, "You have to drink regular tap water to build up your immunities! It's completely safe!" "I've got to buy a ( Read more... )

I was thinking about today a TV show I rather enjoyed watching a while back. My favorite character is a blond beefy FBI guy with a sense of honour surprising here. He's a bit prejudice against science geeks and people he calls "Squints." Nevertheless, he falls madly in love with the chief female "Squint." And in real life married her. She is a ( Read more... )
