I'm interested in knowing what people's personal beliefs are. I don't want what your book of faith tells you you should believe, so please don't trot out the party line...tell me what YOU think, what YOU hold to be true. I believe in Karma, I believe that what you do comes back to you. I believe that compassion, tolerance and love will get you far, and that spite and anger are destructive properties.   I believe that we have souls, and that when we die our souls are released and are e...

Every time I click on an article in the forums to read, I get an error message that says 'object refernce not set to the instance of an object' (or something like that). Am I the only person having this issue?   

I know that you read my blog.  Yeah you....you know who you are.  I know that you read because your reading what I write here is what kicked this all off. You say that your feelings are hurt because I wrote about you. Did you ever stop to think that your actions hurt MY feelings, and that was why I wrote about them?  Do you not see that this blog is like my journal; that I vent here?   Do you not understand that I don't say anything here that I wouldn't say to yo...

I'm interrupting the flow of oh so important articles about politics and current events to talk about an appliance.  If you don't like reading about such things, I suggest you not read any further... I got me a new toy today. I got a Dirt Devil Floor Keeper.  I saw it at the BX, and it was marked down a whole bunch......it usually retails for $99.99, but I got it for $35.

My friend Paris got this chain email from his dad....and he got irritated enough to respond to it.  It's a kick ass response too, I've made it bold so you can see where the email ends and his words begin... DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps to thebuilding which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view  ... it is Moses a...

My blog is like a personal journal to me.  It's a place for me to vent, to write about how I'm feeling and why.  It's semi-theraputic; I find that writing about things helps me think them through better and be less emotional about them.  So, if people get upset at what I've written about how I'm feeling, should I apologize?  Should I remove what offends them and say I'm sorry for feeling that way?  Should I have to censor myself and my emotions? I don't think ...

I'm reading 'Eats, Soots and Leaves', the book about punctuation misuse and abuse ( I got it at the thrift store for a dime which makes me incredibly happy, but that's a whole other blog). The book mentions an 'Apostrophe Protection Society'.  At first I thought it was a joke, but I went and Googled it...and it's a real organization!   Link The above link is to the 'examples' page.....it's full of pictures of signs that people have put on display that are full of pun...

Just because I can....this is me playing my guitar in my front yard a few minutes ago.   And this is my eldest...who has suddenly blossomed into a very pretty young lady.
