And I Feel Fine

It’s happened before and it will happen again. I think that my blog has gone off of what it was intended for all along. Thankfully, a former blogger gave me a slap to the face to clue me in. Besides not feeling like blogging because of work, I have been trying as hard as I can to make sure that I don’t offend people. It may not seem like it to some people considering some of the political posts but really, I’ve been trying to walk a line to make sure that the people who do read this blog stay around. I fear offending them and I fear them quitting on me because I push their buttons when really nothing that I write is directed personally at them. That’s not what this blog was created for in the first place. Actually, I only expected stray comments to come in. Now I get them every other post and a lot of them come from regular readers—all I adore. But I think I need to go back to writing about the stupid things and not worrying so much that I cater to an audience. So sorry if blog posts about Goldfish crackers turn ya off.

This all came about because I've downloaded IM applications again since I've got high(er) speed internet. And I've got a webcam that I am eager to try out. Add me.

My two pennies worth of advice: Don't worry overmuch about offending people. The kind of people who take great offence at strangers having opinions...tend to be the ones with the most offensive opinions and the biggest inclination to force them on others.

I'm a socialist and an atheist, I sometimes write about both on my little blog, you're neither but you still read me and don't despise me for it.

For what it's worth, I think it's more important to be yourself than to pander to the worst readers - those who can't handle disagreement.

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Whatever happened to the Queer Golden Rule?

Wow, Tyler Whitney is popping up all over the gay blogging circuit but the rest of America doesn’t care. Mr. Whitney is an 18 year old staffer for a Republican candidate for President. He was outed. This has caused a little firestorm amongst the gay bloggies with many calling this guy a bigot, an a-hole, and even worse. The way some people have responded to this, Mr. Whitney is fit to be tied to the stake and burned for not being a good little gay. I do not deny that Mr. Whitney has done some pretty offensive stuff. Carrying anti-gay placards that aren’t even fit to be called “homophobic” certainly strikes points against him. However, as I read more about him the more I genuinely feel the need to reach out and hug him. Because I know that he has got to be feeling pretty alone. He’s getting grief from two communities who are openly hostile to which he belongs -conservatives and gays. I have to ask though, is he really deserving of such scorn? Look, his “crime” is working for an
