Alison Blogs HereSemi-Dangerous When Thinking

Here’s a little story I threw together this morning to put you in the right frame of mind. Imagine this: Cousin Angus is visiting his U.S. relatives from Scotland. One day he tells his little American cousin Mary that she’s very twee. Being young and sensitive, she runs away in tears and tells her mother [...]
I was up visiting Gayle yesterday and today, and the blog had been attacked by yet another couple of spambots. Hubby has set up a wordpress account so we can play around and then move everything over. I’ll let everyone know when we’re switching. Right now, my brain is a bit too fried to absorb [...]
We’re working on moving the old content over. Posts come over fine, but the comments are not going to be moved. The comment RSS feed includes deleted comments, so all the comment spam would move over too….
I found two videos by a well-fed and poorly dressed fundie explaining 1. that the word dinosaur comes from “dyna”, like dynamite, “to explode” and “saur”, meaning “lizard”. This explains that the dinosaurs disappeared because they exploded. 2. that the continents did not drift, and that plate tectonics is a lie – the earth was [...]
This time from the folks who are trying to make us think that Foley’s an innocent victim. Both Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh posit that the IMs were pranks, or plants by Democrats to “lure” Foley (Limbaugh and Hastert). I can’t find the link now, but another Limbaugh transcript had him saying that the pages [...]
I know that’s an extreme statement, but let me tell you, when you get three spambots from different IPs posting spam comments all up and down your blog, and have to go through not only blocking them but deleting all their comments, you get a little peeved. I wish I were some kind of sooper [...]
I haven’t completely lost my sense of humor. I’m limited in what I can do, and in order to get to anything below waist level, I need to bend at the knees, back straight, or hold onto something for balance and leverage, or do a bend over on my right leg only, sticking the left [...]
My back is killing me. My house is a mess, and I can’t bend over. I can get the kids to help a bit after school, but they have tons of homework, and music lessons tonight. I haven’t been forced to sit still for so long since I was confined to bed for the end [...]
Yet another case of “Do as I say, not as I do.” What’s got me peeved most at this point, though, is the Republicans and their media calling him gay. There’s nothing wrong or scandalous about gay. Foley is, repeat after me, a PEDOPHILE. If he were gay, he’d be interested in relations with similarly [...]
It’s been painful, way down low, off and on for a couple of weeks and really bad for the last five days. The kids have had to help me with pretty much anything that involves bending forward without holding onto something. So I was really happy when I felt a lot better this morning (after [...]
