Yesterday I posted an email conversation between me and an extended family member. Today I got a reply from her. Sorry I bothered you with something you find to be so trivial. That is what is wrong with people and schools today, because everyone is so anxious to take God out of everything. You can believe how you want but I do not believe that the ( Read more... )

So I get emails from my friends and family all of the time as most of you probably do. Most of my extended family are Christians and so I get CC'd on a lot of "atheists are trying to...." emails. I got one today:Dear Brothers in Christ,

Today I picked up at Bank of America several of the new $1.00 coins with the picture of George Washington on it ( Read more... )

I must tell you that my favorite place to shop in the world is my office chair. I cannot abide malls or big-box stores but I will spend thirty minutes at a time looking through a store's on-line catalog. Of all stores my favorite is Amazon. They have good prices and as a prime member I get free two day shipping on pretty much everything. But ( Read more... )

To all the folks that have listened to lost_angel and I bitch recently about the house - THANK YOU.

Current status? Well, we had navydave in the attic and about. He says that we are fine. Lateral bracing in our house is probably being handled by diagonal beams in the studs. The badly deteriorted substance between the siding and the studs is not structural. It ( Read more... )

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts... attitudes... prejudices. To be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the ( Read more... )

So I just went to the bank during lunch. I had a couple of checks to deposit. One check went into my personal account and one check went into my business account. The check going into my personal account was sizable. Bancorp told me that the funds would be put on hold for the funds to be verified. This was not a problem until I found out that ( Read more... )
