Whenever I get angry at somebody, I picture them crying, and then my anger dissolves to compassion.
Never heard of Nappy Cakes before.
That's an important lesson to learn. You just never know.
It's good to hear you back to your old self again, Buggs! I was a little worried about you last week. If I were you, I'd go for it. If nothing else, you can keep them miserable until April! Keep us posted!
Warm shelter and children are indeed blessings. And I can attest to the fact that grandchildren are ALSO wonderful! (Somebody once told me that grandchildren are our reward for not killing our own kids!) I too worry about family members when they are driving in the "wintry mix."
Your opinion of the "Quantum" and "Changling", if you please?
Abstinence, in my opinion, is the safest route to travel to avoid disease and unwanted pregnancies. However, the real world being what it is, it should be taught along with other forms of protection and birth control. Having taught school for a number of years, I know that many young folks with raging hormones will dismiss abstinence out-of-hand, but will at least consider other options.
Sunny! Please always err on the side of caution and take care of yourself! I am praying for your safety and calm winds! Please keep in touch so that I know that are safe!
An absolutely beautiful song! Reminds me a lot of a Cat Stevens tune from the seventies. Simplistic, stark, raw and touching.
Hi Bill, I've got to meet you someday! I just read your reply to my comment about this post, and I'm not ashamed to say that it put a lump in my throat. I love you, man!
With roofs, it's a "pay me now, or pay me later" thing. Do it now, and you won't have to replace the sub-roofing also. My brother waited. Finally the sub-roofing deteriorated also, and he ended up paying over $215000 for a new roof!
If it would make Jack Benny come back, I'd buy one for everybody!
I wish I had your faith, Bill. Then I wouldn't worry so much about the world. It is SO GOOD to read about your love for your kid and her love for you! The fact that you worry about what kind of a role model you are to her shows what a wonderful and loving parent you are. If there were more like you in this world, we wouldn't have to worry about the next generation.
I don't understand what the conservatives are frightened of. They both amaze me and piss me off.
