I realized this morning that I hold a double standard. As much as I would like to be a fair and unbiased person, I realized this morning I am not. A while back, there was a man in our area that was arrested on suspicion of several sex crimes with minors. The children allegedly involved… Continue reading When do you print a name in the newspaper?
We all should, as adults, trot off to the ballot box at least once a year. Actually, if you live in New York State, it is twice a year as school district elections in all but the Big Five Districts are held in May and municipal and state elections in November. We should all, also,… Continue reading What do you know about the political process?
I am in a swap. The swap is abstract fabric postcards. I cannot seem to get unblocked. I had an idea. I wanted to use up all the various types of satin ribbon I have laying around. Trust me, there are spools of the stuff. I realized it was so narrow and was a problem… Continue reading Creation Block
We all strive to be our best – whether in work, art, spirit or body. So when you start working out to be the best body you can be, how do you measure progress? Do you own scales that you are constantly on? I find this extremely deceptive as we all know muscle weighs more… Continue reading How do you measure progress?
I know a strange question. I was 22 and about to be married when I got my first car. As a part of a couple, I helped make several car purchasing decisions. Then, after my marriage ended, I bought my first car on my own. When I was 16 and wanted my permit, my mother… Continue reading Does having a driver’s license mean you should own a car?
I am not a city girl. I love living in the setting I do. I am even outside of town and town is a small upstate village. I do have neighbors that I can see their homes but no sidewalks, sometimes no plows in a storm for hours. It doesn’t bother me at all. There… Continue reading San Francisco
I try to say this with as much sarcasm in my typing as I can but have yet to find the smiley for sarcasm. I work online for a company that has a family of web sites that deal with politics. Last Thursday started a mess that is finally just now ending. We were hacked.… Continue reading Technology is a Wonderful Thing
What a day! First off, we got a slightly late start but did go to breakfast at Elise’s favorite dinner on Military Rd in Niagara Falls. After quite a bit to eat at Augie’s, we headed to Lewiston. I have only been to Lewiston once before. I came up when Elise was being inducted into… Continue reading Road Trip #3, Day 2
Road trip number three is under way. I am typing in a hotel room on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Niagara Falls, New York. My youngest son and I left home yesterday about 10:30 after a mad day Thursday of cleaning and baking – of which the baking carried over into Friday morning. You see, it… Continue reading Road Trip #3
So I love to blog. I find Yahoo! 360 to be a good outlet for this. I do have my dislikes but it works easier than trying something new. Today’s blog from the 360 team leads me to believe I should look for a method to back up my blog or just scrap what I… Continue reading Where do I go from here?
