  Pennies In Life   Uncategorized (2)

  A friend and I were out walking, and saw some pennies just lying on the ground.
  As she bent to pick up the pennies, I said pennies are kind of like people they have no value until they are found.
  She said sometimes when she drops a penny, it’s easier to leave then bend down.
  Cause a penny [...]

  Politics   Uncategorized (2)

  I’ve never been much interested in politics. I didn’t really have the time or energy to invest in the future of the country I lived in, being busy as I was trying to feed myself and my kids. At least, that was my excuse.
  What I didn’t realize at the time (no one ever sat down [...]

  Yes, where does time go?
  Is it really true that the older you get the faster time goes?

  I have added tags to most of my postings.
  I have folderized my Bloglines (thanks, Rosa!).
  I have been more regular about clearing out the folders I really don’t need to read, concentrating on the [...]

  Secret   Uncategorized (1)

  I have a secret, a secret affair.
  I can’t tell it to anyone, I don’t dare.
  His eyes are blue and his soul is bare.
  Only to me will he this share.

  I think I have found a true kind of forever,
  only we can’t ever risk, being discovered.
  Hiding it all from friends and other lovers.
  I am ashamed,please don’t tell [...]

  From one who was away for a good while and now back… John Perry Barlow comes this:

  The main change, as I said on New Year’s Eve, is that I truly feel like I am present. And it’s way ok. I don’t know where I’m going exactly - though I expect that to reveal itself eventually [...]

  Can an alcoholic lead a political party?   Uncategorized (6)

  Here in the UK, the leader of the 3rd largest political party (80 of 657 seats in Parliament) has been forced to resign after admitting that he sought treatment for an alcohol problem during 2005.
  It set me thinking. There’s been the usual, “But Churchill drank a lot, so did so-and-so” responses. But there have [...]

  New name   Uncategorized (1)

  Well, to celebrate my first blogiversary I decided to change my blog-site name. Quite a decision and almost suspenseful before I clicked on “republish.”
  Seeing the new name up in print gives me goose bumps. My father used to call me that for a nickname when I was a child, and I wish he could see [...]

  “Wait.” He tells me. “We are eggs, waiting.”
  I am [...]

  Growth Like a Bull   Uncategorized (1)

  Growth has to happen for a business to survive. But what kind of growth? Bullish?
  According to the Wikipedia article a “bull market tends to be associated with increasing investor confidence, motivating investors to buy in anticipation of further capital gains.” That’s good.
  But, the article also says “the description refers to the way that the animal [...]

  Subversive links   Uncategorized (2)

  Shelley Powers writes in the comments on her posting over at Burningbird:
  The web is inherently hierarchical; weblogging is inherently ephemeral. Combined, you have an environment that overloads and overwhelms us if we attempt to flatten the discussion by continuing it long enough, and giving each partipant time equal to effort. No amount of technology will [...]

  I have a Blog Stalker!   Uncategorized (7)

  I don’t know if I should be upset or honoured?? My little blog is only a few months old and already I have an anonymous stalker, a nasty one at that. Leaving comments that I need to get a life. That my life is a train wreck. That my husband is useless and a jerk.
