Why can't I just leave well enough alone?
I was bored and was browsing the [this is good] section-- well, wouldn't you know it, yes, of course, how-could-I-be-so-naive-as-to-think-the-topic-might-be-dropped-by-now, I found a whining on my church and its involvement in Prop. 8 and VOX thinks it's good.
The poster in question already got two nominations on the [life is good] category-- isn't ( Read more... ) -
QotD: Too Much Is Never Enough
Clothing, dinners, make-up, or gadgets... We all have things we like to splurge on. What do you think you buy too much of?
After a slew of very materialistic-sounding posts by The Much Maligned Company Among Tech Professionals (no, I don't feel like mentioning their real name in my blog again), we get something that's half-heartedly less so. But ( Read more... ) -

Mary, Do You Know? (Yes, I'm sure you do.)
I heard this song the other day when we were out to dinner. I'm not sure if Cimmy noticed I was trying to hide my tears.
Normally, I would not express my convictions in so broad a manner, because my relationship with Yeshu of Nazareth is a pretty deep and private thing. I can't bear sometimes to have something that is so precious and personal to ( Read more... ) -
JJQ#18: Pets
What pets have you had as a child, teen and adult?
The first pet in my home (that I can remember) was a tabby/cream Persian mix tomcat we named Chester. He was about as dumb as a box of rocks, but he was very affectionate and very much enjoyed being a lap cat. His previous owners brought him in person to our little rambler home with a ribbon tied ( Read more... ) -
Where have the manners gone?
For some reason, comments did not seem to be enabled on this entry, so I hope Jaime doesn't mind that I reference it and reply in a post of my own.
In this particular entry, she's talking about chivalry, or rather, kind manners and etiquette on the dating scene. I think it's a very relevant and germane topic right now, as there's already been ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: Physical Education
Time to put Ron Redden to an open shame...
What sport or game did you hate the most when you were a kid?
It was much less what I hated as to whom I hated. Ron and Karen Redden ensured that I despised huge swaths of physical education throughout middle and high school. Never mind that Ron was a much-lauded football coach, and the outdoor track at ( Read more... ) -
QotD: Cyber Monday Shopping
Today is the ceremonial kick-off for the online holiday shopping season. Planning on buying anything today? What good deals have you found?
Disability money doesn't come until the 3rd and I'll be fortunate if I have enough to buy much of any gifts after necessities.
So materialistic... what, this isn't sponsored by The Much Maligned Company Among ( Read more... )
