Home Sweet Home
How sweet it is
So I've tried out Facebook, and I've come to the conclusion that it confuses me. So I've come back to LJ. If any of my friends are still around, then great. If not, well, I don't know what I'll do.
Somehow this ease of communication stuff is getting harder and harder.
Or am I just a Luddite? -
Where in the world is Carolf?
Or where did all the time go?
To Facebook, that's where! And Live Journal's not the only place I've gone missing. Plaxo, Twitter ... forget 'em. And I haven't even gotten around to setting myself up in Linked-In.
How do you all do it? It's not like I waste time with all the apps in Facebook, because I don't (Ignore is my friend. So is Hide.) I' ( Read more... ) -
It's a Nice Day in the Neighborhood
or, checking on the neighbors
When the Canada geese moved in, we were afraid they might have scared off the Sand Hill Cranes, but it appears they did not. So both families are living side-by-side in the swamp. We pretty sure the cranes are heterosexual; we're not so sure about the geese. I can't tell the difference, but then, my gaydar has ( Read more... ) -
Progress
of sorts
It is safe to say that I have managed to take the neck-high quantity of boxes down to chest high. Only took 8.5 months. At this rate, we'll be moved in oh, say, 2015?
Seriously, we've reached the point where we have trouble putting things away because we aren't sure where they belong. Sometimes we just repack the box and go to a ( Read more... ) -
Finally - I'm au currant in my clothing style!
or my pants join the latest fad
Simply put, they are completely bankrupt, with a credit impossible to repair.
Life has calmed down sufficiently that I figure I will post a bit more often ... but then, it's been 6 months since I last posted, so its a low bar I need to meet. Next on my project list is to figure out how to link LJ, Twitter and Facebook ( Read more... ) -
Where did Carolf go?
Spotty attendance warning
It is tax time. Expect me to be not here a lot.
Oh, not for you. You have several months before you need to worry about it. But for me, I have a major deadline of 12/25, an absolute deadline of 12/31, an important deadline of 1/31 and a final deadline of 2/28. And a bunch of clients who persist in thinking that tax time ( Read more... ) -
A veteran on my flist asks
Joining LJ gave me the gift of a friend I've never met who keeps me thinking ...
He is not happy about something in this election; so unhappy, in fact, that --
Well, behind the cut is my response to one of his posts. You'll get the flavor of his unhappiness in the parts of his post I quote in my response.
( Here there be passion ) -
Thoughts on civic duty ...
lifted from a comment in another LJ journal
A US military veteran on my flist asked what his readers have done to protect and defend their rights. Behind the cut is my response.
Yeah, I'm wordy. I get that way easily, let alone when I'm passionate. But I don't regret a word.

A short announcement
about birthday greetings.
My friends here in LJ may have noticed that I don't participate in the celebratory birthday posts that are an LJ custom.
This is not because I do not wish you well on your birthday. This is not because I do not wish to celebrate the day you were added to this world to its great benefit. It's not because I don't know about ( Read more... ) -
An important question
for McCain supporters.
So, what can/should Obama, his administration and his supporters do/say that would lead you to feel heard, respected and included?
More than any other policy, direction or solution I want from government (and we-the-people are the government, mind) after this election is a country that once again can maintain lively, ( Read more... )
