I have reoccurring dreams-of course I do, everyone does, even if they don’t remember them. Your brain isn’t SO creative that it can come up with thousands of plotlines and innumerable characters a hundred times a night without some eventual overlay. That’s probably why most people think their dreams are so unfathomable: they think it’s all one ( Read more... )

I propose an idea for a television series starring Mandy Patinkin, Jeff Goldblum, and Neil Patrick Harris called "Weekend Dad"--

A group of men who meet every weekend with the children they fathered but now only see on the weekends and a few weeks in the summer.

Mandy Patinkin's character would have been married, and when his wife left him and took ( Read more... )

This isn't going to be very long. My argument is based on common sense and the perspectives I have based on my age, which doesn't hold up in court.

But I am sad. I am sad to watch so many children follow a path I walked, when it was harder to be put on and easier to get off. And now . . . now they all follow it. It's a damned shame.

My wonderfully (newly) enlightened husband asked a very good question when I told him that they were trying to have Judge Walker impeached becasue he was gay, and therefore too "biased" to be a good judge.

He said, "So a straight person wouldn't be biased?"

This is is about marriage, so have one or don't, it's part of who we are as Americans, and ( Read more... )

I got up tired and cranky, because I went to bed sunburnt and naked and when I awoke, my bedroom door was a little open, and the house was full of teenaged children, so I could do nothing to change my circumstances--not even go back to sleep.

So I prepared myself for a snarky pout, to be inflicted on my husband as soon as he completed his morning ( Read more... )

I would like to run an experiment (or a dating service) where you fill out al the forms, and get matched with people based on compatibility factors that are purely sociological (people of the same political notions, religious backgrounds, child bearing notions, etc.) but no photos ( Read more... )

So I moved to Bloomington ( Read more... )

Our car has one bolt so completely stubborn, that the fact that my husband dismantled the rest of the car to get to it, leaves it undeterred in it's determination to remain exactly where it is. ANd it's position prevents the only car repair we need for the whole car to actually drive. So right not, it's purely decorative lawn art (minus the lawn, ( Read more... )

I woke up with the fully fledged idea of a crime novel. The villain is a psychologist. He is regressing women back to the time in their lives where they were molested or sexually abused by a parent or uncle (the most likely offenders, and the most scarring to the psyche.) Then he molests them in exactly the same way as they were molested as ( Read more... )
