Has anyone seen or heard Bulboushead today? The last I saw of him was yesterday when he called Brad a 'fascist a-hole' because Brad blacklisted him from his blog. Did he get banned altogether?

Sand &Stone A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. They began to argue, and one struck the other in the face. The one who was struck was hurt, but without saying anything, bent down and wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND STRUCK ME. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to bathe. The one who had been struck began to sink in the mire and drown, but the other one saved him. After he was rescued and somewhat recover...

In light of all the debates/arguments that have been going on about homosexuality, 'civil unions', war, gods (or lack thereof), I just have this to say.... 'Men never do evil so completely or so cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction' B. Pascal. There, I said it.

I have a couple of questions that none of my friends seem to be able to answer, so I thought I'd tap into the plethora of wisdom readily available on JoeU and see what you all had to offer. #1 I scored at the thrift store today and bought a single breasted leather blazer for $3.99 (whoo hoo!! Sorry, i'm still rejoicing at my find). It smells musty, you know, that thrift store smell? How do I get rid of that without getting the jacket dry cleaned (there's nowhere around here that dry clea...

I'm so excited! We have tentative dates to leave Ellsworth!!! Dave's going to be back from Greenland mid-August, we'll leave Ellsworth a couple of days later (after we clear housing), drive to Indiana for a couple of weeks leave and then fly to England the first week of September! My Mum is going to be sooo excited, she hasn't seen us in....well, 9 years by that time. I can start writing all this in my diary now....makes the time we have left to be apart seem so much shorter somehow......

The Dysfunctional Section of a Hallmark Store... 1. I always wanted to have someone to hold, someone to love. And now that you've come into my life... (Inside card) - I've changed my mind. 2. I must admit, you brought religion into my life... (Inside card) - I never believed in Hell until I met you. 3. As the days go by, I think how lucky I am.... (Inside card) - That you're not here to ruin it for me. 4. Congratulations on your promotion. Bef...

Today I learned some things that I didn't know before...things that really pissed me off. I learned that in this state (SD) a family of 4 is eligible for $465 a month in food stamps. I don't (can't afford to) spend that much and there's 5 of us!!! Bear in mind that food stapms don't buy soap, paper goods, personal toiletries etc...so the whole amount is going on edible food! I also learned that women with kids who are under the age of 6, who can show that they have no adequate ch...

Isn't it funny how certain smells remind you of certain things? When I was pregnant with Davey I had horrible morning sickness....actually it was all day sickness, there really wasn't a time in the first 24 or so weeks that I didn't feel nauseated. Dave had bought me a bottle of 'Giorgio' for Christmas and I wore it all the time when I was first pregnant.....I smelled it today for the first time in ages and about barfed. As soon as the smell hit my nostrils I had a wave of nausea wash o...

I had written this article when I first started blogging. It didn't get much response at the time, but in the light of the recent spate of articles about welfare and it's abuse I thought I'd bring it out, dust it off a bit and see what happened this time around. I've taken away a few things, added a few more...it's about people being on welfare and having seemingly no desire to get off : in fact, they seem intent on digging themselves in deeper by having more kids than they can support... ...

Apparently, I'm getting old. I had this fact pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago. Someone made the comment that what i was experiencing was "perfectly normal for a woman your age". Huh? What d'ya mean, "a woman my age"?? I'm only 34....hey, wait a sec, I'm 34!!! I'm in my mid 30's?!!! When did that happen? I've never been the kind of person who let herself be defined by her numerical age. I've never said to myself 'K, Dharma, you can't wear those tight pants anymore, you're 30';...

You know, I've been blogging for about a month now. At first I was totally intimidated by some bloggers - I had to read their stuff over a couple of times before I got the point of what they were talking about, and then I didn't dare respond for fear of getting shot down in flames. All in all, I felt pretty un-intelligent and slow-witted. There are people here who I think are truly brilliant, way smarter than I am or will ever be, and there are people here who I think probably have th...

In light of the events concerning my health in the past couple of weeks I am again questioning whether or not I should search for my biological parents. I have been asked countless times recently if I have a family history of cancer, heart disease, diabetes etc...and I always have to answer 'I don't know"...because I don't. I was born in June 1969 at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, England. I was a forceps delivery and weighed in at 6lb 13 oz. My mother's name was Veronica Howse, sh...

I had the much-awaited appointment with my surgeon today. It was supposed to be last week, but the storm put paid to that idea. Long story short, he didn't like the idea of leaving lump in there to grow and perhaps invite some friends and relatives over for a party. It has been growing, it wasn't just my imagination. It's only a tiny bit bigger than when I discovered it, but it's bigger nonetheless. So, next week lump will be removed and biopsied to see exactly what it consists of. ...

In light of the recent Sir Peter Maxwell bashing, his Lordship has asked me to organize a 'Friend of Sir Peter' society (FoSP for short) Those wishing to become a FoSP should submit a response to this article explaining why they want to become a member, and what they most admire about Sir Peter. His Lordship will then decide who is worthy enough to be admitted. He has asked me to make you all aware of what an honor and a privelege it is to have a membership to this society bestowed upon...
