Is Thanksgiving dead? Was there some memo that I missed during my travels? I didn't see any national alerts; I heard no indication of it on the CB; no road signs to say Thanksgiving is dead. But the distinct lack of Thanksgiving decorations and marketing ploys, coupled with the obvious "in your face" Christmas decorations that seemed to...

It seems that bad economic times bring out the worst in people. I read the local paper’s website every day, and the comments people make on the site are the best feature. Anonymity emboldens the stupid and hateful to verbalize the poison and illogic they carry around in their heads all the time. Normally, it’s entertaining. This week, it’s been...

It's taking hold of my heart. Holding it really, really tight I can't make it stop, so I give up and hope it will pass soon   I had a dream, I woke up crying. It was some time from now, my baby and I were together. We were going somewhere I noticed I was very nervous, but just the feeling of her being next to me calmed me down,...

One of the hot topics on Question Time last night was that of the BNP membership list being released. There was considerable debate over the issue of our police officers not being allowed any party affiliation and whether that was right and fair and then of course there was the issue of whether teachers should be allowed to teach children if they...

Brandon retrieved the Christmas tree from the attic last night.  The kids were excited, thinking it was Christmas, and have been skipping around saying, "Happy Christmas Holiday!"  We decorated it this morning.  There are a few new ornaments- things we made. I love the way our tree looks.  Simple, country, maybe a...

I am and always will be fascinated with string. I wonder how many tampons i have to buy to equal a 1000 feet of string for my tampon kite I want to build. Balsa...

I have no clue what today's date is. Everything is just jumbling together right now. Rachel and I have been having some wonderful conversations when I get home from my internship and one of them today really had me thinking about something. I have no memories from before we moved down the road to Violet. I was 6 when we moved. I have very few...

Please excuse the title (and I apologize if anyone turns up offended by it). But I just came across this article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081116/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage . Look at what they did to the flag! For crying out loud, they made it a rainbow flag. Do they have no respect for our country? If a flag touches the ground, it is to...

Dear California Christian, I know we've had our disagreements in the past. I know I didn't speak to you in the most accommodating of terms, and while I'm sorry for the tone with which I initially approached you, I'm not sorry for what I said. My words remain true regardless of the feeling behind them. In your latest entry (with the title...
