Baltimore pictures are up. Angela also has her own version here.
We had a really nice time, and it was wonderful to get three whole days of uninterrupted “us” time. Baltimore wasn’t the greatest city I’ve ever visited but we enjoyed ourselves none the less!
Man I’m glad it’s Friday. I’ve been working on so many different things this week that I’ve completely lost all track of what day it is, which makes the week seem really, really long! You know, because like Weds night I wasn’t thinking “two more days until the weekend”, I was just getting through Weds…
As I mentioned earlier, I was out of town for a good part of last week at a conference. Normally, my time at a conference is taken up with attending educational sessions, and then being a wallflower at the networking parts of the conference, if not skipping them altogether to see the city or watch…
Pin I heard someone on the radio use this phrase to describe herself as we were out grabbing a few last-minute items to assist with riding out Hurricane Ida. She was talking about evacuating her home in New Orleans at 10:30 last night, driving to Alabama to seek shelter, and then doing the show remotely from there.
Here, we aren’t in as much of a need to evacuate, we are further from the coast and the storm surge, but it’s still going to be a long, dangerous couple of days. So, we are spending a lot of time, and both mental and physical energy, preparing to possibly be without power, for needing to leave if the house is damaged, and so forth. It’s a lot. And that is on top of all the mental energy necessary to deal with large COVID outbreaks we’ve had in recent weeks, all of the recent events in world news, and the various personal and professional challenges that we are also dealing with.
Running on fumes is a really good description of how I think most of the entire state feels today, and yet, there’s a storm coming that we are all going to have to deal with, while everything else just continues on as well.
Here in the US, this past weekend was Labor Day, which is sort of the last three day weekend to enjoy the summer. We spent it in Chicago, taking in the sites, traveling with Angela’s parents and just generally having a good time seeing what there is to see. Of course, I also spent a…
Pin So, recently I had a little mishap while picking up my luggage from the baggage claim carousel. It’s been diagnosed as damage to the meniscus of my left knee, which they suspect will heal itself in 6-8 weeks. In essence, the treatment for this injury is to just do what I can to promote healing….
Pin Because we can all use a feel good story these days, I wanted to share something that occurred on Facebook, of all places, this week. My 50th birthday is coming up shortly, and I wanted to go ahead and use Facebook’s new feature to create a fundraiser for it. I participated in a walk to…

Did you even bother to look around and see what this site is REALLY about before posting that comment? Besides you’re the one who got here from a search, what were you looking for? 🙂
I am doing a report well a bunch of reports on child abuse. I am 12 years old and very very interested in stopping abuse.So all of u people who are with me give me an e-mail and if u have any stories or books on abuse then just e-mail me the titles and stories at blonde_stewy@hotmail.com. thanks for all of your help and lets stop it!!
yes i would like to stop child abuse because it is sad and stupid to see children being abuse. When I did a project on child abuse I felt so sorry for the children who have been abused because they have to deal with the bad situations and the harsh punishment. And that is not the way to handle things not to beat on them . Plus who iis dumb enough to hurt their children like that. That is horrible and very bougs.
I think that child abude is a really bad thing because it hurt really bad. If I was them I would run away because I could not put up with what my parent would be doing to do. I would be really mad and I would run to the poile station and live with my gradma for the rest of my life time.
child abuse is not right
I think that all abuse is wrong and that poeple wh abuse and hurt other have a seriuos problem. They need to get help.I personaly have been abused in every way possible so I know how they all feel.I wish some of the abuser around the world knew how it feels.
I think that child abuse should be stopped! i have custody of one of my granddaughters that was abused by her mother at 5 months so I know waht it is. I think that if people look really look at it they will see that when you could punish your child (a good ass whooping)thre wasn’t as much abuse as there is these days, also the things they are taught in schools about abuse (wrong)I had many stripes as a child on my legs from peach tree limbs and let me tell you it done me good. So I think your wrong when you say you can’t whoop a child. Now a days everything thing is considered child abuse. they take it a little too far. Kids would be alot better off if they could get a spanking without it being abuse. So many parents these days won’t touch a kid because they think they will be locked up. That’s what’s wrong with kids these days that are so out of control and run over the parents cause they know you can’t do a damn thing about it cause they yell abuse so damn much.
