Tex, I loved them. Thanks for sharing. The "pessimistic" one looks like he is just so overwhelmed. I have no idea what Adrian's cake is....a mountain? The one with the lipgloss is gorgeous. You look beautiful. Your dad and grand-dad certainly have a fun side! In the butt picture, were you telling someone to kiss it? Jakob gave Rachel a haircut once when they were three. She sat on a stool, held a mi
I have never been overly fond of beauty pageants, but was never truly bothered by them. Now with the success of shows like The Swan, Extreme Makeover, and Nip and Tuck, we have plastic surgery beauty pageants?!? I know that The Swan does this, but at least they make an attempt to claim these women "need" the help. Well, China has just created th
Outstanding and great to hear! Way to go on feeling tougher and stronger. Looking forward to updates....
No, dharma it is not just you, and thank you for saying what some are afraid to. I think this is but a sypmtom of general society. Our lack of respect for others and total narcissistic egomania. We have become so caught up in ourselves and totally abandoned all forms of propriety.
Who really cares when Jesus was born?....I mean we celebrate it anyway, even if we find out it's a different day, I doubt we're going to change it all around....I don't understand why people try to drain the fun out of things by looking for some proof that Jesus was born in March or something, it was an emaculate conception anywa
religion brings us death, destruction and ultimately darkness You're kidding, right?
I love the comparison of light in Genesis and Christ as the light into the darkness...beautiful. Thank you for posting this Sabbatismus.
Much better to experience in little chunks, Dad. WTG

I love that last line! Awesome and profound!
Yes, and my only predicament. Clear (my favorite) or Color(my husbands Clear for sure....color lights interfere with the beauty of the ornaments...least that is what I tell Zombie.
I have and still do struggle with organized religion I think we all do. I am a Christian and have faith, but do not currently attend any church. Faith and a personal rel
your a good mother. You are so sweet. That, coupled with a good wife, are my life goals.
I didn't have a problem with my parents "lying" to me about Santa. I came to understand what Santa really is gradually. When I was young, someone suggested to me that Santa wasn't real, but a spirit. Hmmm, that explained a lot. How he made it everywhere on Christmas Eve, how he got into houses that didn't have chimneys, and so on
God might be waiting for a better time to reveal Himself That is what I meant by a gift, I guess. I have even heard of people who don't believe that pray to God for the belief and gift of faith.....something to ponder.

I agree and share your hatred for most self-help books. I think my hatred is triplefold for the "enlightened" readers of those books who are just so sure this is the book I need to read!
Fascinating article. Your subtitle struck me as odd, though. Do you really view your lack of faith as a failure? I think faith is a "gift" in the same manner others are gifted with high intelligence, artistry, musicality, etc. Even if someone does not have the gift, doesn't mean they cannot enjoy intellectual conversation, art, music, or religion. People can educate and learn the ideas, beauty, and beliefs of others. Not having the "gift" of f
Tex, I will selfishly admit that I miss your blogs (nice, depressed or otherwise). I will unselfishly tell you that I want you to be happy and ok. Whatever and whenever you feel like talking or blogging, I will be here to talk and read. *hugs*
Very funny article. This reminded me of constant worry in my house. Zombie never wears underwear, and thus sleeps naked (I am so glad his is off playing games lately, cause he would kill me for revealing...pun intended...this). Anyway, I worry that if someone broke into our house in the middle of the night would be protect us or protect his jewels?
Congratulations and may your wedding be beautiful and memorable.
Best of luck and good for you for deciding to quit after 4 years. The longer you wait to quit, the harder it gets!
I tend to agree with your assessment. I am sure some people with disagree with your article on the premise of your definition of success. Most of academia are liberal. Professors will argue intellecutal achievement is a grander form of success. blah.... In my circle of acquaintances, I find the same things you do. People who began life in poverty or lower middle-class, that always believed in conservative ideals, inevitably end up
dharma Nowadays. ....we give gifts to our kids, and when they were small we used to leave milk and cookies out for santa. That's changed now, and he gets a mince pie (british thing) and a finger of single malt irish. A couple of years, D and i went outside after they had gone to bed and threw rocks on the roof to imit
