I don?t usually like to talk about some things but here I am and I suppose that if I don?t talk about things I give them free rein to run roughshod all over my life, I actually try to take control more often than not, I try to head it off at the pass and I don?t allow it to take full possession...

Ok, take a deep breath. I am about to wade into some pretty turbulent waters here. I want to start out by saying I don't know what the outcome of this case will be or ought to be. I'm glad that I am not on the jury because I don't think this is going to be a cut-and-dried situation. I...

Well, President Obama has finally come out in favor of gay marriage. I say hurrah for him. Quite frankly I don't really care one way or another but it's interesting how often the word "benefits" keeps cropping up in regards to marriage as opposed to "love". Maybe it's time to take a good hard...

I am taking a break from Wagner for the time being; even though I enjoy the story and the acting all that high-pitched singing in a language I don't understand gets on my nerves after a while. Honestly, they could condense the story down to two or three hours and not miss anything. But you...

Not long ago, while browsing through a catalogue I found the complete production (all 15 hours) of Wagner's Ring Cycle as presented at the Bayreuth Festival in Germany. Although I grew up listening to the music, and knew the basic plot, I'd never seen it performed. So I ordered it, and have...

Earlier today I had to hand in a copy of my diagnosis to social services, so they can look if they can give me support. Which I don't mind at all, I'm not that much of a rebel, lol. However; looking at it, a few points came to mind. And it made me wonder a bit about cause and effect, and what...
With a chance of getting the advice like "making a thread will get more people to respond" I'll keep headstrong and try the blog first ;) Quite often I ramble about employment, education, social services and how that all ties in (or depending what your stance is "messes") with autism in the...

Well, I see that the Republicans' wonder boy Mitt Romney is in hot water over something he calls a youthful "prank" and what others are calling assault. And of course there are those who are crying for his blood and there are those who are saying that it happened such a long time ago why bring...

Words didn't have to be dark But I felt dark And I'd weep and try to grab a spark But like a shark Something empty came and swallowed That quick brightness And any happy poetry seemed...trite. I didn't have to be dark But sitting, back breaking all day In a cement chair Where's the...

Today we returned to the Book of Esther. We are now on chapter 4. All the Jews have learned that that an order has been issued from the palace calling for their extermination on a certain day and now they are all boo-hooing about it. Mordecai especially. He goes up to the palace all dressed...

Last week I wrote about the sermon that our so-far only candidate for assistant pastor preached and how he spent a great deal of time explaining why another popular pastor was wrong on his interpretation of a matter that I doubt that very few people outside of seminary really give a hoot about...

......................... So then Monday came around and I kept her off school, if i'd have sent her in no doubt she would have had a meltdown, plus her soiling had become worse, it was every 30 mins now. I called the doctor to check how high a dose she can have of movicol with her kidney...

Had a terrible week of meltdowns and tantrums(me and my daughter). Last Tuesday(not yesterday) she came home from school and was in a bit of a mood, I could tell something was brewing and that she was upset, I asked how her day was but got a usual "it was alright". She didn't want to play she...

One day it was decided that Bernard Tisboy should have a birthday party as his birthday was only a few days away. On the day of Bernie Tisboy's birthday he was invited to his cousin Alan Chine, who lived in Dog Poo Road, Fried Barnet, in the London Borough of Bernie. The block of flats...

Today we had a guest preacher speak. It's been decided by the church board to add another pastor and so we are evaluating candidates (so far only one). He started out with a real doozy. Genesis chapter 6. For those who aren't familiar with Genesis, Chapters 6, 7 and 8 are the big Noah's...
And for anyone not familiar with latin, history and/or philosophy... it roughly translates to; "Who will guard the guards themselves?"... or of course a more popculture related reference "Who watches the watchmen?". With that quote in mind I'm beginning to think that that bit of "paranoia"...

Yesterday I found out a friend that I hadn't seen in a while passed away a little over a month ago. Apparently nobody knew how to get ahold of me and I don't get the paper so I didn't know. She'd been in a nursing home for a while and I'd been meaning to get up to visit her but something always...

no, but I think it's more because the other forums I've visited tended not to be modded very well than my being polite.

We've started discussing the sermon at the Sunday night Bible group and it's a good thing that the leaders come prepared with a set of questions drawn up by the pastor's wife because with a brain like mine there is no telling what kind of mischief can happen if you allow people to come up with...

Today Pastor finally got around to preaching on Chapter 3 of Esther in which Haman plots genocide against the Jews because Mordecai wouldn't bow down to him. And yes, he did bring up, in passing, the incident where King Saul was ordered by the prophet Samuel (presumably speaking for God) to...
