That’s one of my all time favorite quotes from my all time favorite show in the universe. Law & Order. The original. You can tell by the person being spoken to, that it was an early-ish episode; season 5, episode 9, “Scoundrels”. The bad guy [...]
The other day I wrote about a Barna survey that will be coming out with full documentation in about a year. The posted statistics are quite provocative as I (and several other women) noted. The data have raised a lot of criticism and left many women scratching their heads, thinking, “That’s not my experience, so [...]
Every year I wrestle with Independence Day. I don’t know why I can’t just enjoy it … the sights, sounds, camaraderie, bon hommie, brownies and, of course, fireworks. No. I must wrestle with ideas. What is this day that we celebrate each year. Are we free? What does that mean? How does our freedom here [...]
What’s your greatest fear?
We had an (ahem) interesting day yesterday. LightGirl had a very negative reaction to some meds she’d begun taking. I won’t go into the details of it here, but we ended up in the ER just to make sure she was okay. As the meds metabolized she was alright, but we had [...]
The prompt for today -
Japanese lore suggests that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, your wish will come true. What would your wish be, and what would you be willing to do 1,000 times to get it?
I remember reading about this legend when I was a young girl. I read a book about the bombing [...]

I’ve been on FaceBook for a couple of years now. When I joined there were mostly college kids and just a few emerging church types around. For the longest time I had about 30 or so friends. I’d gain a friend or so here and there and then I had 50. And then my blogging [...]
Like war and high finance and other fancy stuff.
The president and Congress are wrangling about a new spending bill. It’s called a Stimulus package and it’s rumoured to cost about $850Billion in funds we do not have.
It’s okay though. We didn’t have $700Billion Congress gave to Wall Street.
We didn’t/don’t have the $1 trillion or more [...]
Note to clothing and pattern manufacturers -
Large women can, do and desire to wear tailored beautiful clothing. Flour sacks went out with, well, I guess pig stys and muu-muus. A large, dumpy, unfitted piece of clothing only serves to make one look larger and sort of unfinished. But an article of clothing which fits [...]
“Well … I was!” That’s what BlazingEwe said to me yesterday as she tried on my dress. “I didn’t think my butt would fit in that dress.”
“I knew it would.” I assured her. As is usual for us, we were sharing clothes in a fashion emergency.
What could possibly be a fashion emergency for two 40+ [...]
