Sometimes this feeling is fueled by other people. When I was in a UMC choir I was made to feel like I was part of the whole, but that the group would/could go on without me. The jonly thing that flew or crashed because of me were my own solos. When we moved south and began attending a non-denom...

I only got about 8" of snow last week no biggie, but enough to shut down lots of stuff here in TN. Bunch of winter weather wimps. I sometimes miss a good Northern New York winter.

Once upon a time , the Irish had a wonderful drink they called the water of life or ish kay. The Scots came and stole it, (renaming it Whiskey). So the Irish sent along the bagpipes and the kilts. The Scots still haven't figured out the joke. (From Will Millar of the Irish Rovers)

Really need prayers for peace and calm in my household. Son's girlfriend has been living with us and she and my husband are not getting along. Last night he told her to find a new place to live. I have had to listen to his side this morning, and once the girls get up I will have to hear their...

As long as you find one you will actually read...

I know that and you know that - but trying to tell my husband is a losing battle. He is very stubborn.

From the time I was a 2nd grader until about 20 years ago I viewed church services from the choir loft. We learned a lot about the liturgy by being a part of it - prayers, responses, hymns, communion. For me being able to walk into a UMC (on those rare occasions I can) and slip into those well...

Sorry....

Capes are ok, but long coats....oh my....

"Blood Games" by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. I am re-reading all the Saint-Germain novels that I have (I am missing 2 novels and a book of short stories)

I'd like to see more men in kilts...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that was the norm of the day. When my grandfather and his unexpected twin brother were born they were loaned clothing from another relative who was expecting, but wasn't due for a few months. That baby was a girl. They all wore the same clothing. Made it easy to...

I can see being offended if the other person's action is intentionally disrespectful, but people now claim to be offended by everything - including stuff that makes no real impact on their lives (like single use coffee cups). And the things that should offend us and move us to action -...

Actually that is not unheard of in construction work. Rings of any kind can get caught on stuff and cause injuries. My Dad was a carpenter and didn't wear a ring. My brother-in-law was a Marine helicopter mechanic and was told he either had to make cuts in his ring so it would break easily if it...

I am dismayed by how easily people get offended these days. When did humans become so thin skinned? And, other than unwarranted attention, what do these people gain? I'd rather just roll on by than proclaim that every other thing "offends" me. I haven't got time for such nonsense.

I figure deciding who goes to Heaven or not is waaayyy above my pay grade.

And that is part of the problem. It is becoming all too common for these events to happen. People are becoming de-sensitized - that is why talk turns to politics and blame so quickly. People don't care about the victims anymore - just who can be blamed for disrupting our regularly scheduled...

KABC reported that the shooting took place at Inland Regional Center, a facility for people with developmental disabilities.

Possibly 3 shooters, 20 reported wounded, bomb squad dealing with something on site. Was at a social services center (?)
