It is amazing how much there is going on out there in the world that gets missed. Or at least I miss it. Is it that way with everyone? And I'm even TRYING HARD to pay attention now. I wonder...
Hmmmmm. It appears that the worm may be turning...Seriously, did the insurance companies step on their wangers?A few days ago the public option was on life supports, seemingly just days, or moments away from time of death being called.Then the...
I was born of and raised by ostriches. Then I married an ostrich, and gave birth to and raised more ostriches. Therefore it has been difficult to pull my head out of the sand and pay attention to what is...
Well, I just got back in after seeing "Capitalism: A Love Story" and like FlowerChild, my hair is on fire.In the space of 2 hours and forty minutes I went from the "baby steps" I was encouraging earlier today to...
It is happening in homes all over the country...family and friends at odds over the current situation. I would think we all know someone like this. It comes under the heading of truth being stranger than fiction. You just can't...
Tensions are running high at TPM this weekend. There is a lot of conversation about what the Cafe is and who should be here and who shouldn't. Whether there is more value to some posts and posters than others...I find...
Jeez, Louise...It's been awhile since I've heard this kind of caterwauling...In fact, the whining and sniveling about Obama not fighting hard enough (over a year ago) is what brought me here to begin with. And, yeah, it's a little like...
I found this in my in-box this morning. I've seen it before in several different forms, and have always thought it was a sweet story, but for some reason, today it hit me as something that I wanted to...
Yep, I'm obese. It's such an ugly word. It's hard for me to write it. I prefer overweight, but by definition, since I weigh more than 20% more than I should, obese is the correct term. At 5' 3" I...
Did I miss something? Did anyone see anything on msm indicating there was a single pay rally yesterday? There's not even anything on the TPM front page is there? What is up with that?***Edit: If you have seen or heard...
This is one of those posts that requires a fairly long preface, so bear with me here. I will not make the egotistical assumption that all of you know my history, but to save those of you who do the...
I am a born mediator. I don't know if this is a curse or a blessing. I can see both sides of most issues, and have few beliefs that are set in concrete. I put myself in the other people's...
I can't begin to tell you how heartsick, frustrated and downright pissed I am over the wussy behavior of the Democratic Party. I switched parties to show the Republicans how pissed off I was that they screwed the country for...
I am a scrapbooker (aka the family historian.) I try to keep track as best I can of the "Days Of Our Lives"...little things that would be lost to us if someone didn't write them down. I keep a list...
We've had lots of discussion lately about health care, which has set my mind to wandering and wondering. As long as we're advocating for health care as a basic human right, shouldn't we be talking about our responsibilities to the...
Being a Christian around here can, at times, be a pretty humbling experience. For the most part I feel like most of you regulars accept me as being a little different than the majority of Christians you know. I have...
My mother always used to say I burned the candle at both ends. I have been that way for as long I can remember, and I'm pretty sure it won't change for as long as there is breath in my...
You may have seen the post yesterday entitled "Rebranding Fox "News" Network - Responding To Propoganda, by Synchronicity. In it she began a campaign to educate people about Fox "News" and is asking for our help. She asked me to...
We've been debating in great detail what is and isn't torture, did we torture, who authorized it, how harmful is it, etc., etc.Well, come to find out all the torture did not occur on foreign soil. Those of us who...
