Two sets of lips are more talkative than one…

admin | November 30, 2006

Women talk three times as much as men…or so this article says.
I love how they liken the talking to a heroin high.
Oy.
Anyway, with studies like this I am ALWAYS skeptical.
I have a lot of questions like:
Who are the participants?
Where do they come from?
How many were there?
And so on.
Anyway - Richard sent me the [...]

Winter Wizard Wonderland

admin | November 29, 2006

Somebody sent this video to me in email last year and I LOVED it. I then discovered YouTube a couple of months ago and oh happy day, they have the video!
I loved this so much I bought the music, which of is now gone since my hardrive died a couplea months ago. [...]

Christmas Yule Love

admin | November 28, 2006

First I want to say that I think it's stupid to give kudos to stores who are “bringing back Christmas.” They aren't doing it to take some moral high ground - as some blogs I've read have implied - they are doing it for the kizash folks and nothing more. They would put “Happy [...]

The Ebb and the Flow of the Artists You Know

admin | November 27, 2006

My art tends to ebb and flow. I tend to write a lot when I'm not painting and drawing a lot. Right now I am in the middle of half a dozen art projects, all of which were started yesterday.
Aside from those I have started a whole new batch of ACEOs - those [...]

Life as Art and Art is Life

admin | November 26, 2006

You don't have to be formally trained in the arts to be an artist.
You don't have to have any training in fact or even a higher education to not only be an amazing artist, but a memorable, prolific and talented one as well.
What sorts of artists are there?
What are their backgrounds? Yes some of us [...]

Like so many unmatched socks…

admin | November 26, 2006

I've been cleaning a bit. Right now, my house is pretty neat, but there is always much more to do. Right now it's unlikely that anybody will stop by because the house is presentable. The guests seem to come when the laundry is piled and the carpet has not been swept and [...]

I hate ER visits.

admin | November 25, 2006

Amber felt Wednesday night and it carried through to Thursday. She felt a bit better yesterday, even cut some hair and then started to feel ill again.
We called her old doc office here in town to see if maybe she could be having a reaction to her meds or something and of course they [...]

Collins Bailey - What Are You Doing?

admin | November 24, 2006

I really REALLY *REALLY* would love to know WHY people voted for Collins Bailey to return to the Charles County Board of Education.
He doesn't vote. At least I can find no instance in the minutes I've read where he has voted for the past year.
He spent just shy of 38 THOUSAND dollars - $38k folks [...]

Family Planning - It's Not Just Abortions Folks - And SEX isn't a Four Letter Word

admin | November 24, 2006

Right to life. Right to choice. Right to our bodies. Their right to our bodies.
Women should have a choice. I personally chose not to have an abortion. For me, it was wrong.
It is not my place to say that it isn't right for another woman. It is not right for me to take away another [...]

Migraines, Headaches and Pains in the Neck

admin | November 22, 2006

So this morning Robert wakes up and is getting dressed and I hear him and say, “Hi honey.” in a sleepy voice as I stretch and WOAH JACK AGHHH!!! My left calf cramps into a ball of pain. Suddenly I hop out of bed yelling and hopping waking Will and Robert stands by [...]

Special Needs Education in Charles County School System

admin | November 22, 2006

Under the thread about the new Space School a sub-topic of Special Education has cropped up.
Evidently some folks feel that rather than spending $90 Million on a new Space High School we should utilize that money a bit differently.
Margaret Young and Jennifer Abell from the Charles County Board of Education stated in their comments that [...]

Who is worth more than a Chief Justice or a Senator? Superintendent of Charles County of Course!

admin | November 21, 2006

First I want to say that I read the articles in the Indy today about Margaret Young and the board and the executive meetings and such. If you are a tax-paying Charles County citizen you don't want to miss the articles by Jacqueline Rabe:
School board’s inaction frustrates some members
Young files complaint with open meetings [...]

CCBOE - Alternative A, Forward Funding and Space School Stuff - More to come later.

admin | November 21, 2006

I have been mucho busy today.
I want to respond to some of your notes and I'll have to do it late tonight.
In the meantime, I've only had time to scan in this one document - a letter to the commissioners in July 2006.
I'll do more later to try to figure some of this out.
Some of [...]

Orgasms Will Save the World! Folks, I've been saying this, like, forever!

admin | November 20, 2006

My friend on Myspace who goes by Purple Pickles sent me a bulletin today about 76 year old Donna Sheehan and 55 year old Paul Reffell, who are peace activists who have "come" up with the idea of a better world through orgasms.
That's an idea I can get behind…or…er…well, you know what I mean.

Space High School Plans Continue Despite Lack of Board Input

admin | November 20, 2006

Will somebody tell me why Mr. Richmond keeps walking around and talking like this Space High School is a done deal?
When exactly did the board ever discuss this?
When did they ever approve it?
Here is the CCTC November General Members Meeting Invite - see where it says the “next” high school for Charles County will be [...]

Here's your chance to change a life…

admin | November 18, 2006

I am posting this blog in the hopes that my readers can help Teonna Keys, niece of Terry Keys-Bowman, to meet her goal of obtaining an Associates degree. I am sending $10 myself and asking everybody who reads this, and who can afford to, to please send $10 to the college address contained in the [...]
