    Do You Read While Using the Toilet?

    I am very short (5 feet) and in a number of bathrooms my feet don't reach the floor. Not a very comfortable reading position. There's also just no time for that. I have never understood why people do read in there.

    A story about appropriating city property

    Here is an excerpt from my blog. This one is meant to be funny. "A few members of my immediate family have had a rather inappropriate relationship with street signs. It all started with a stray orange cone, ostensibly left behind from a road construction project. Or perhaps it was lifted off...

    Who else names their cars?

    My old Tercel was named "Patsy". I call my husband's old truck "the Beast". It is huge and I am five feet tall, so I can't just hop into it, but have to actually climb up. The Passat I drive now has never had a name, but sometimes referred to as "Blue" or "in the shop". My favorite named car...

    The First Amendment, Part 1 - Religion

    Here is an excerpt from a blog post. Please enjoy the link to the full post if you are interested. Otherwise, ignore this post. Thanks. Here’s what the first amendment says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise...

    John Green, Father of the Little Girl Killed in Tuscon, is my New Hero

    Buckshot never called any specific people "thieves, cowards and liars". However, if you wish to include yourself in this category, please feel FREE to do so. I agree that all non-criminals deserve freedom. However, I do consider it a crime for anyone to forcibly restrict my freedom.

    John Green, Father of the Little Girl Killed in Tuscon, is my New Hero

    Nope. People who deserve freedom are those who want freedom. People who don't want freedom are STILL free to get exactly what they get.

    John Green, Father of the Little Girl Killed in Tuscon, is my New Hero

    So supporting freedom for all is tyranny? Odd. Being forced to live your life only as you see fit? How horrible! The people who deserve freedom are those that are willing to fully engage in it. It's not like an exclusive club.

    Great commentary on the TSA

    TSA Humor? First, I agree with continuing those tax cuts. Are they really "cuts" to begin with? How nice of the feds to allow small businesspeople to keep a little bit of the money they work for. Second, a little TSA humor may be in order.... TSA Logic Or just read the script...

    Research & Vote!

    I'm not too worried about it since you say you've never voted, probably too busy watching "Dancing With the Stars" or something. Anyway, I am not saying "do not vote". I am saying think about it first. My god, someone told you to think and form your own opinions and then vote the way you...

    Research & Vote!

    I'm not saying who to vote for, just to KNOW who you're voting for. That is not rude. It is common sense.

    Research & Vote!

    Wow, you didn't actually read my post, did you? Or you may have noticed this part... "I realize not everyone wants to take the time to research candidates, especially for tiny little offices that have little effect on our day-to-day lives. But if you haven’t even read your intended...

    Research & Vote!

    I refuse to choose the lesser of two evils any longer. It sounds like a grand statement, but technically I’m only expanding my selection to the lesser of three or four evils. The evils I speak of are our political candidates. Though our republic is in dire straits this year, I will not...

    Moments when you are glad no one was watching

    A few years back, I was cleaning out some crates for use at adoptions with my rescue group. I was crunched over kind of odd and needed to sit down. I was just outside my garage and there was a foam cooler nearby. I thought if I just distributed my weight properly, it was sturdy enough. It...

    OMG . . . the terrorists are going to . . .something . . .with popsicles!

    That link is blocked here on my work filter. But if it's popsicle sticks, this could be serious. If a pre-schooler can build a castle, imagine what a terrorist can make!

    We just had an earthquake...

    I've seen a bunch of updates from friends and family back home in Buffalo. Been a long time since they had one in those parts.

    For all you MMO addicts (and FB games addicts)

    I can quit anytime. ;) But I'm still going home and logging in for an EverQuest raid tonight.

    Do laws even matter any more?

    Those who govern have become an aristocracy immune to their own laws. Our Congressmen are exempt from Obamacare. It seems like just a couple hundred years ago we fought a war over that.

    Two-faced kitten

    My rescue group once had two kittens that were born a bit deformed (likely inbred). The obvious deformity was a lack of inner eyelids which made them look slightly alien. But they were gorgeous otherwise. I was thinking of adopting one myself. Sadly, neither made it through spay surgery. It...

    Is the Tea Party movement racist?

    In the area I live in in Georgia, it is a common understanding that those who support the ideals of the Tea Party movement are interested primarily in laissez-faire capitalism, low taxes and fewer regulations. Other than that, the ideas of these people are very diverse. They are not violent...
