One Life Fits Nobody Perfectly


 
 

You and I are not qualified to determine the value of anyone else’s life or death.

What that means is:

You don’t know whether anybody else is suffering so much that it would be a mercy for them to die.

You don’t know whether it would beRead full post »

Holy Copulation of Quantum Physics

 
 
  
 
 

The message in this video resonates with me. I got the link to it in one of the comments here. I recommend Les Visible’s blogs. Links to them are in his sidebar.

If you aren’t thinking about these things, start now. The unexamined liRead full post »

Prayer Warriors-An Update For You

To all those who have been praying for RicTresa's friend, Steve, I offer this beginning of prayer. I beg you, brothers and sisters, do not neglect to pray in the Spirit as you are led, and practice binding and loosing. We aren't wrestling against flesh and blood, as you well know.… Read full post »

To all Believers at OS,

 

I beg you to stand with me in agreement that no foul working of the enemy will be allowed to stand against Steve's body.

 

Thank you for your obedience,

Un-Bush & Uber-Bush


 

When I left my first husband…

No, THAT’s not where we’re going, but work with me.

Remember how much you loved your first puppy…then he pooped on your bed…and you had to clean it up? But, were you mature enough to recognize that YOU were the one with theRead full post »


 

George Ure of UrbanSurvival pointed out a new Dog Poet vid today (5-21-10.)

Mr Ure also has the new National Dream Center up and running. The idea is that we share our significant dreams which are then collected into the DreamBase database. The NationalRead full post »

Going All Klingon


 

I’ve been reading more stuff about bypass surgery. I can’t have minimally invasive surgery unless I go to Cleveland, which my insurance will never pay for. I told my husband we could just go to Cleveland on a vacation and go to whatever hospital my surgeon says the guyRead full post »

What Would Stephen Hawking Do?




Stephen Hawking In Zero Gravity

First, let me point out that Hawking is not a Shallow Twit, therefore his advice on galactic social networking relationships may be safely considered at least as valuable as that of Sergey Brin or Arianna Huffington.

Stephen Hawking has recommended that we don

The Third Heart Attack


 

I take a bath, shave my legs, braid my hair.
I put on the soft white nightgown with the pink rosebuds.
I take more pain pills so I can stand the wait.

I try to tell my husband when he comes home.
But he has more important things to do,
Than

Back in the 1970s, Southwest Bell (now ATT) came out with a new whiz-bang motto intended to endear itself to its customers:

“We may be the only phone company in town, but we try not to act like it.”

Naturally, being the only phone company in town, they

It's Just One Epiphany After Another


 

I watched a really good movie called “Fresh” tonight. It’s a documentary about fresh food, as opposed to processed food. It talks about the tomatoes instead of the Fritos.

I was a bit worried that it was going to be one of those “True Believer” documentaries, yo

Cherchez La Moola


My mom told me a few years back that she feared hunger. I felt like I’d been kicked some place soft – with a lot of nerve endings.

I asked her if it was a recent thing. She said she’d felt that way since she was a child. I

TEOLAWKI-The Great Birthing


 

The time of “The Great Birthing” is getting closer. That’s what I call it: The Great Birthing. Others call it apocalypse, armageddon, or simply the end of life as we know it. Let’s call it TEOLAWKI. Tay-oh-law-kee. Okay, now when we meet we can say, “tay-oh-law-kRead full post »

Emergency Shallow Twits Award

 
I was originally planning to publish today a thoughtful, reasoned, screed about bulldozing American cities. But, wouldn’t you know it, those wacky kids who work for TSA are up to their usual shenanigans. Bless their little hearts. I just had to stop everything and take official note ofRead full post »

Please, Tipper, Make Him Stop!


 

We’ve been trying to keep the water pipes intact for over a week.

I woke up at 1:30 AM, like I do every morning. I crawled out of my hole of a bed. It has a slow leak so it needs to be aired up every thirty minutes. AfterRead full post »

Losers/Winners All


Everyone alive has experienced painful, wrenching losses. Even a newborn baby, who we like to think of as being a blank slate, has just lost the safest, happiest home he’s ever going to know in his life. He faces his forever in a hostile environment. His only advantage in this

Stick It, Rupert


 

Newspapers don’t make their money by selling newspapers. I sincerely hope that isn’t news to you. I hope it’s something you always knew and took for granted. Another bit of information I hope you already knew is that newspapers aren’t charitable institutions, just tryRead full post »

Silent Night-White Christmas


It’s 2:54AM this Christmas of 2009. The ground is covered with snow. I haven’t seen a Christmas where it snowed on Christmas Eve, so that it was a real White Christmas, since I was a child.

For me, snow is magic. It cleans everything up and paints a layer of

Suri in Pink-Sign of the Apocalypse?

 

OMG! Yes! Who isn’t aware that the color pink has been used by every single evil organization aspiring to world domination since time immemorial?

Congenital Vegetarianism & Thanksgiving


 

The truth is that I’m a congenital vegetarian. I didn’t know that until I had my first child, but I knew, from the first time somebody tried to put dead animal puree on my lips, that I didn’t want dead animals in my mouth.

It was never a moralRead full post »


Oh, yeah. Hot organic farmers, oh wait, we better capitalize that. Hot Organic Farmers. That’s better. Hot Organic Farmers are probably a sign of the Apocalypse, if for no other reason than the list of hotties includes Michelle Obama.

This is exactly what it says it is. It isn’t what I usually put out in front of the whole world. However, it is how I think and what I say when I’m off the internet, and among people who know me. This is Middle V.
