Words To the Star Spangled Banner (USA National Anthem)

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner...

Don’t Worry, Be Happy -the right way

Don’t Worry, Be Happy -the right way In an essay on how to help others and yourself by being more proactive when worry hits, The White Hot Truth is a little painful, but I needed to read something like that today. When I worried about rejection and how I may have unwittingly offended someone. Again. I worry about lots of things, and don’t even realize that it is worry, but this has put a little perspective on it. Worry obstructs...

Everything Changes

Everything Changes I know. A new look for the blog… will she ever make up her mind? Yes, this is the last change for awhile. I hope it loads quicker for you. It is hard to make changes when the risks are that the next choice will be worse than what you now have. Life is full of such fears and risks. It can be small or it can be a major thing like moving to a new locality, but change is full of hopes and fears. I...

Iguana High Noon

This would make a great scene for a comedy- like the deer in “Tommy Boys” car. Scientists said these seemingly suicidal lizards are a result of South Florida’s record cold weather. Iguanas prefer temperatures in the 80s and 90s. With Wednesday morning’s temperatures at around 35 degrees, a handful of lifeless lizards hung from branches and fell to the ground. While these iguanas...

Where Did The Meme Come From?

I can’t tell you that. But, I can tell you where the word describing such things came from. Copyblogger tells the story: Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist, coined a term that demonstrates the natural selection process for ideas. He called an idea that spreads from brain to brain a meme. You may have heard of those. Dawkin’s insight about the way ideas spread sprang from the intersection of...

You Don’t Know Me

That phrase, “You don’t know me”, when said with the right inflection has become an indictment. It draws a line of exclusion with an accusation. If we had been important we would have known, if you were important to us we would have granted access to our true selves. “You don’t know me”. It can negate whatever you want to say to me, or what I want to say to you. but in...

Something Different: Irish Festival

Something Different: Irish Festival Different in the sense that I haven’t blogged here about stuff I do, lately. But I have pictures of men in skirts… what more could you want? This is the year I drum up some interest in things Celtic, literally perhaps because while I attended the annual Dublin Ohio Irish Festival I bought another bodhrán. This one was a more moderate size than my original purchase… and I’ll likely...

What Happened?

Ok, Ilona. You used to blog about issues; you used to blog about politics and the state of Christianity as you know it; you used to blog with more opinions and rants….what happened to that? Glad you asked dear reader (what is left of the readers, and perhaps the singular is apt), I’ve been thinking about that myself. First, what happened to the politics? They are still here somewhere. I am...

States Rights, Tea Parties…What Do You Think?

Mostly we center on the economy anymore (in the news, personal conversations, blogs, etc)…. I know that gets the lion’s share of my own interest in reading news, etc. But what about the rumblings on States rights, what about the tea parties protesting our taxes and national debt? Are they hot air, just letting off pressure, or genuine attempts by informed citizens… or something else?...

Stuff in the News

Things that my husband and I are talking about: Just a token article about a growing phenomenon, Growing gun buying, widening ammo shortage, there is huge backlog of demand for ammunition right now. This is another one of those background areas that thinking people need to pay attention to. I don’t believe this is just a ‘fringe’ or fly-by-night situation. There seems to be a growing...

Fifty Ways To What?

Fifty Ways To What? Only for the love of a twinkie would someone invent so many ways to leave it…*Someone* has waaaaaay too much time on their hands. But funny! clipped from www.cakespy.com It’s been said that Twinkies could survive a Nuclear Holocaust–and we wouldn’t dare challenge the wisdom of The Family Guy. As Paul Simon once said, there must be fifty ways to leave your lover 8. Take it to a fat...
