Never, ever, ever, ever forget that Reagan, his administration, and Nancy are the reason so many of your loved ones died from AIDS.  Instead of acknowledging the epidemic and the mounting deaths, they basically ignored it. Instead of diverting funds to fight and reaserch AIDS when the reality began to set in, it was something for them to make fun ( Read more... )

Coffee is proof that there is a loving God who wants us to find joy.

Surely, a loving and just God would not allow a thing like Daylight Saving and the accompanying time change to exist.

I live in a never-ending quest for betterment. Currently, I'm learning (or trying to rather) Hebrew and watercolor. Neither of these have been particularly easy. The structure and use of attached articles in Hebrew is far different than any laguage I've previously attempted.

I said this needed to be a place for more than just superficial bullshit. That said, he's some unfortunate (no pun intended) poetry I wrote in 2004 or 2005.

My doc was pretty mortified when I told her the nephrenologist couldn't ( Read more... )

Sent an email to The Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service. Hoping to be able to meet with someone to discuss my educational future. I want so much to attend, but I am at an absolute loss as to how to go about achieving my dreams. I don't even know where to start! Crossing my fingers that they get back to me soon.

«'We shall build a tower that will reach to the stars!' Having conceived Babel, yet unable to build it themselves, they had thousands to build it for them. But those who toiled knew nothing of the dreams of those who planned. And the minds that planned the Tower of Babel cared nothing for the workers who built it. The hymns of praise of the few ( Read more... )

We're having a huge sample sale over at The Mad Hatterie. Many old pieces are going for almost 75% off. I need to make room for my spa product inventory, so they have to go. We're also offering coupon codes to new customers, and thank you codes to our old ones ( Read more... )
