A couple of weeks ago, Ivy had a brief post about how she was trying to write a Home-Ec 101 post on getting your husband to help with the housework. It really is a conundrum of problem. Division of household duties is high on the list of problems that couples experience. I perused three Internet [...]
Michael Vick is in the news again today because of something someone else did in a house he happens to own in Virginia. Vick’s cousin, Davon Boddie, lives in the house and was sufficiently suspected of involvement in drug activity that police executed a search warrant on the house (and later arrested him elsewhere) only to find [...]
Welcome to the first installment of “He Said/She Said”. This is where we write independently about a subject and then post the results here.
I try to keep in mind at all times that the goal of parenting is the successful launch of a complete, whole, well-adjusted, self-sufficient adult ready to take on the world as much [...]
I’m tired of the “Lockdown” post being the one on top. I’m also a little tired of seeing my own face here but there’s a very good reason for that. David was out of town all week, just got back last night after the kids were in bed. I barely gave him time to check [...]

There’s still time today to sign the petition. You don’t have to be directly associated with the school to show your support. As of last night the [...]
I read all my blogs through Google Reader and I have them set up into folders/categories. In my “Nashville is Talking” folder the blogs, Shoot The Moose and Sitting Still appear respectively.
Earlier today, as I was perusing new posts, I read Shoot the Moose where Slartibarfast recounts the hazards of “somebody’s” marital activities. Then moved [...]
I bought three cans of tuna at the grocery store today. I remember setting the cans, all three stacked together, on the check-out conveyor. When I got home and was unloading the groceries, I noticed that each can was in a different sack (with other items).
Peculiar.
Yes, it’s taken me a day or two to get around to posting this. And really, I don’t have a whole lot to add to what has already been written about the amazing evening of food, fellowship and fun at Mack’s cabin Saturday night. Ginger has pictures and great run down of the festivities (though [...]
I know that admitting you even know when Earth Day is pegs you as a pinko-commie-greenie-weenie-liberal-bedwetter by many. And if you actually do anything on that day to remotely promote the cause of the day just puts you in the hemp-wearing-pocket-composting-dreadlocked-hippie-biodiesel-making-nut that lives in a straw bale commune. All that considered, I write this as my conservative appeal to [...]
