The simple act of getting up and getting dressed today was making me confront way too many of life's complexities all at one time.  It's not a good way to start a morning when you are not a morning person.  While I have no problem g

Even some of them that already have men, complain.  Women who believe the Lord Jesus Christ is their savior, women who have their own money, and even those who are educated and independent, good looks and nice bodies are having difficulty in hav

How boring can my title get? Hehe.. But please bear with me. I saw some comments on my blog board. I thought I had that moderated already, apparently not as I saw some comments that I suppose are totally unrelated. But thanks to those who drop by and

I couldn't resist not posting. I slipped off while I was climbing up my dad's SUV. I slipped all the way down and my shins hit the step. Immediately, my shins swelled and I got light scrapping. I know it's gross but it really hurt so bad

I can never say it better than Nicholas Kristof. This column on all the sky is falling worries over *gasp* reforming our health care system offers a great perspective using similar concerns on past programs.

Once again, I owe John Sherck for the blog idea. Like him, I have noticed a number of folks on Facebook doing ?one thing I?m thankful for? every day in November. And like him, I thought that any attempt to do this might go from waxing profound to w

Alas, I have raised my children to face much frustration. My daughter?s ninth grade American Government class is in the midst of a mock congress. The kids took a test that evaluated their views and placed them into the appropriate political party.

I will never understand computers.  For some reason, music played through Windows Media Player is now skipping a LOT and it’s annoying me.  I’ve tried listening to the tracks (which played perfectly well until today) through Rea

I have 5 cats.  Two of them live indoors full-time, while the other three are indoor/outdoor pets.  All but one are siblings, (but the oldest one is probably a distant relative).  There for a while, it was smooth sailing in the animal

So, I used to blog here quite frequently, but not for about a year now.  Why?  Just got bored, I guess.  After B-C went to paid subscriptions, the vast majority of my readers gave it up.  I nearly did as well, but then I decided t
