Dried, cracked, bloody hands so stricken I could hardly move them. At one time that characterized my eczema. I went down the road for solutions by applying lotions and changing my soap. But the biggest positive change came for me when I started to take flax seed meal. Eczema came up as a common... Sign in to see full entry.

Many of you must have sent your mothers gifts and greetings on this day. Those are gestures of a deeper love reality, or, more accurately perhaps, the desirous longing of that deeper love. With this in mind, I would like to share a passage from a book-- Kristin Lavransdatter II: The Mistress of... Sign in to see full entry.

On a Netflix blurb--for Hunger-- I saw a glaring mistake about the language, claiming the film was in Dutch. Really?

What if throughout history all along a family lineage there was always a "Junior" or a name followed by a Roman numeral? Then there would be someone named Adam X n.
