Ouch!
I don't want to make a big deal about this, but I don't remember ever having my request to join a community "declined" before - on LJ, Facebook, Yahoo, or anywhere.

The Home Land
Right before my Daddy's dementia kicked in - and that would be back in the 90's - he had started researching his family's history. I grew up knowing nothing other than that my Daddy's father died when my Daddy was a young boy, and his mother was either from Germany or her parents or one of her parents were from Germany. I never met her. She died ( Read more... ) -
Odin, This One's For You!
One of my Facebook friends just posted this:
I believe in God, repost this if you do too. Please don't ignore, you are being tested. For it says in the Bible, "deny me in front of everyone, I will deny you in front of my father".....97% WON'T POST......will you?
Well I can't believe you had doubt! I know why I am still here and who made it ( Read more... ) -
To Do List
I think I'm going to wander out back and watch a movie. I haven't decided which one just yet, but I have a Charles Darwin documentary from the library that will need to go back at some point, so maybe that will be the winner ( Read more... ) -

A 3rd of July
The neighborhood we live in has lots of families who buy the illegal fireworks and they start shooting them off in June and probably will continue until Fall arrives. Favorite time to have them explode is between midnight and 11:59 PM. I feel about fireworks the way I feel about pineapple. 99% of the time I hate it, but if there is plenty of ( Read more... ) -
Three Days
Today I meet one of the judges of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. He is the Dad of one of the women in the office, a fairly recent hire, and when she told me what her Dad did during one of our conversations I got a pretty big thrill because I'm nerdy that way. She shared that with him, and he said he wanted to meet me. He brought me presents ( Read more... ) -
Con?used
This LJ thing is harder to get around and figure out than a remember. I'm going to have to find the time to read about the settings and displays and all that. I'm finding it very awkward ( Read more... )
