Sunday, August 17, 2003Editormum, you said a mouthful!If there's one memory I carry with me from the academic side of my high-school career, it's the utter contempt I had for the instruction I received. With the sole exception of my mathematics teachers - my algebra teachers were superb, and so was one of my two geometry teachers - I was disappointed...

It is also meant to be an accurate statement about my attitudes toward certain things. You might ask if I'm intolerant of other races in general. Nope, I'm not. I want to...

It turns out that despite trends attempting to change things, the mainstream of the therapy community is still very much opposed to...

I first noticed in when WrittenByMe was up and running, but I didn't catch on until I wrote some items here. Whenever I write about current events, my rankings soar, but whenever I write about controversy - even though...

We flip on a light switch and expect a light bulb to respond to our command automatically. In fact, our entire civilization is dependent on electricity to a greater degree than is actually warranted. Instead of going back to typewriters, for example - or...

The news is duller than swill, the Chicago area is getting a taste of Europe's heat wave (without a repeat of our own 1995 disaster), and I'm flat out of things to say. That's why I haven't posted anything...

By now, you have heard of the worm - called LovSan or "blaster" - that has caused so much devilment throughout the Internet. This worm has even shut down the entire Maryland DMV system - they couldn't...

I clicked on the link and found to my dismay that its servers were down. Apparently, The Animal Rescue Site is an affiliate of The Hunger Site, as are a number of other donation-per-click sites. The Hunger Site Network is the big success story of the...

Case in point: My blog Have we achieved The Dream? (If the link doesn't work, look for the title in my member profile - click on the word kidnykid at the top of this page.) Several of my latest...

For the purposes of my own blog, I will use just first names (I feel that principles are more important in this specific incident than personalities or full names). Rosemary was concerned...
