Tell John Boehner to Remove National Security Threat Michele Bachmann from the Intelligence Committee

Weeell. LJ ate my diatribe.  That's what I get for not working it up in Word first...gah!

After the spiders' prompt (finding the inexplicably crawling on me in the car - tiny ones) that I should be spinning - it IS that time of year, after all...I've been spinning.  More hemp and bamboo for facial scrubbies.  The ones I made before are holding up, so I will attempt to make these more attractive and perhaps give them as gifts.

This is the ( Read more... )

Every now and then you have to redefine for people how you really feel.  About everything.  Every now and then, folks will get too comfortable with their narrowed focus of the world and express upset at your disagreement with them.  Because everything is essentially about them in their worlds, they cannot see beyond where their bubble of personal ( Read more... )

Lammas is when I feel the exhaustion of production...that first thought of "Gods I need to sit down and REST!!!"  Or at least that is what I normally feel about this time of year.  This is a time when if you have a garden, every day brings some blessing of abundance from the green world.  It is also the time when forgetting to water just once can ( Read more... )

So I’ve been making quilt tops.  I guess I should not say ‘quilting’ until I’ve actually put a quilt on a frame and started that process, which so far has not happened - but it will.  The quilt frame is just awaiting cash.  Soon baby, soon!

Anyway, I’ve paused in my own projects to do one for a friend by request.  She wanted me to take her father’s ( Read more... )

Ever go for a good portion of time believing something and then find out it’s just a misunderstanding, a lack of appropriate information, or the result of an outright lie -sometimes all three?  With the exception of the last, most times it’s harmless and easily correctible, but it can be embarrassing if you have passed on the information thinking ( Read more... )

I honestly don't have words for the stupidity of this 'man of God'.  He should be drug out and stoned for treason.  As if First Amendment rights applied ONLY to Christians.  As if the Church didn't quietly condone Hitler's massacre of the Jews in WWII.  ( Read more... )

If it's not the hardline Muslims, it's the hardline Christians, if it's not either of those it's some random jackass thinking shooting up a school, church or a hospital, his enlisted brethren or his local Denny's is the answer to his life's problems.  Why can't these geniuses turn the guns on themselves first?  Dear gods don't let them hold hands ( Read more... )

You ever have a dream that makes sense only in the most abstract way?  Like if you're not paying attention it will just go away?  Only it doesn't?

When I was a kid, my grandparents house was my favorite place in the whole world..well, favorite HOUSE...it was the acreage it sat on that made my heart sing.  The barn was also a wonder-filled place of ( Read more... )

The Wild Hunt » Grey Cat 1940 - 2012

Friday afternoon I went to pick up my husband from work and was listening to my Ipod and "Yesterday" shuffled through, immediately followed by "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLaclan.  I shivered, wondering if the chill I felt was her touch in passing.  At that moment, the phone rang, my husband on the other end ( Read more... )
