Two Seconds or Two Hours?

Today I underwent my first colonoscopy. The consciousness experience was similar to when I had an ulcer endoscopy a decade ago. At one second, I was looking at the nurse or doctor, and then at the next instant, the procedure was done and about two hours had passed. This feeling was sharper with the...

So Who are the Violent Ones?

The mainstream media and liberals at large claim the TEA party is violent and racist. They tried to make a connection of the TEA party to the Tucson shooting, but the psycho there had nothing at all in his background indicating a conservative profile. The media runs with their bias against the TEA... Sign in to see full entry.

Wisconsin Republicans within Their Rights

If national level Democrats can meet behind closed doors in a reconciliation maneuver, wheel and deal in bribes, to pass by a squeaky majority the abominable Obamacare; then Wisconsin Republicans are more than within their rights to legislatively isolate the measure calling for an end to public...

Speaking of the IRS, the Federal Takers

I met with my financial planner today, and he informed me that it is advisable to hand unto documents for seven years, in case the IRS audits you. The IRS, you see, looks at past tax years. It looks for any excuse, through retrospective examinations of financial records, to apply tax penalties where... Sign in to see full entry.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention--In the Kitchen

Last night I was about to enjoy the homemade kefir (from a mix) that I had made. It had set for 24 hours and seemed stiff and solid enough. In the past I have combined kefir with peaches--a delicious dessert. But I did not have peaches, so I used what I had. I had a a partial bag of cranberries,... Sign in to see full entry.

Oil Change and Ambidexterity

I was nervous approaching my oil change task today, last time having blotched it big time. I had not problem purchasing tjhe right oil filter, as there was only one engine listing for my latest car model. After that, it was a matter of locating the oil filter. It was tucked away on the rear side of... Sign in to see full entry.

I Found Purpose for Facebook

Facebook is something I have not cheecked very often. The only reason I opened a Facebook account in the first place was that when I was considering a fiction market periodical online, it requested Facebook registration. People, "friends, that is, found me, but I have not responded very much. But... Sign in to see full entry.

Not in the True Spirit of the Church

I was appalled to hear what some Christians were doing when a Muslim man was going about his regular prayers. They were mocking him and telling him he was praying to the wrong God, that he needed to pray to Jesus. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that their claims were wrong, but just the manner...

A Journal or Logue Mentality

In my early adolescence I began to keep a journal. That eventually dropped off to be taken up in my dream journal that I expanded to reflect on the events in my life. I also had kept a mileage logue for a car I used to have, an old Jetta in which the odometer did not function except to turn just a... Sign in to see full entry.

Sani-wipes and Germs

When I first noticed that grocery stores now supply sani-wipes next to the shopping carts, I shrugged it off as rather silly. But I have been made aware of the types of surfaces that carry the most germs--and it is not the regularly cleaned toilet. Rather, the surfaces carrying the most germs... Sign in to see full entry.
