Sometimes I just don’t get it!
New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The […]
Guess who: Why did you get pregnant in the first place? Woman: My insurance company will not pay for birth control. I can’t afford it on my own. Guess who: Well you shouldn’t be having sex before marriage. Woman: I can’t marry my partner. I am gay. Guess who: Then you shouldn’t be having children […]
I am not one for generalization. I often use it as a tool to make points; as a tool for sarcasm … but I don’t believe that reality can be accurately displayed by generalization. I think every fact; every interaction; every detail of life needs to be evaluated for itself. Sure we can define patterns, […]

In recent weeks, I have made a determined effort to live a less … DIGITAL … lifestyle. Since I made the decision to do this, I have been involved in the development of three new web sites (one of them a store site), started a Go Fund Me campaign, and updated another one of my […]
I am feeling feisty today. Which means maybe it is time for a good ole rant. Haven’t had one for a while. But since I don’t have a specific rant at the moment, I will try something new … a stream of conscious rant. Who knows what I might “yell” about next? I guess my […]
Today is WHINY WEDNESDAY on the A Week of Words Blogger Challenge. Today’s post is our chance to let the world know in no uncertain terms how we feel about something that really bothers us … and we should include a meme to really get the point across. This one somehow seems appropriate for me, since lately […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I have to admit, the older I get, and the more I interact with the human world … the less I get humans.
