Tangled in a World Wide Web

This is a response to a blog from a friend of mine which was a response to a blog from a "friend" of hers...  My friend is a lesbian; her 'friend' disapproves. Read on. I am never so appalled as when a 'christian' starts espousing faith-based "wisdom" about something that is controversial. I find it especially telling when you ask one of 'them' to explain or substantiate some of their ranting...  You are liable to get the same old rhetoric and hoopla and when all else fails the old standby  "...that's what faith is all about".  As near as I can tell, the ultimate goal is to make certain that absolutely no one is happy (except the mindless drones who meander contentedly through life, denying themselves many forms of pleasure in the now, for a promise of eternal happiness forever-after -- after they die that is).   So here is this wonderful, loving, christian woman writing about how forgiving she and God can be of the horrible evi...

Everyone likes to feel special, right? Sure we do.  Don't let anyone tell you that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. It is all about feeling special. We want that one woman (or person, sorry), that makes us feel like we can do anything and we can do it better than anyone else. That's the secret. I have to move on before this becomes a very different blog. This weekend, a few of us went to the newest Mexican restaurant in the area, La Parilla , again. We have become fans. I should mention that we have been a few times.   I went in and put in for a table of four and was handed the vibrating thingy . I asked how long and the girl estimated about 25 minutes. I went back to let the rest of the group know.  As we stood waiting outside, enjoying the pre -summer afternoon and a little banter amongst ourselves, the guy who has been our server several times (maybe every time), caught our attention and asked if we'd like to sit there on the patio.  As it was a nice...

So, it's been a while since I blogged. Yesterday was a month because, for three weeks I had no internet. It had something to do with the freakin' 40 days and 40 nights of rain that nearly washed away my humble abode. (OK, It was more like 2½ weeks.) Because of this extended and unplanned hiatus, I have several unrelated items to air out. So, if this seems disjointed and rambling - it is. The Job I still have the same job, working for a company with nearly 200 employees and about 220 faces. Also I have discovered that, after two and a half years in school, struggling to get a degree (while working full-time), I have achieved the heady title of Overpaid Typist.  I am all choked up. The Car I still have the same car that I spent over $1250 to get running after the "Total Loss" of my perfectly good one. I haven't had a lot of trouble out of it other than the fact that it is 16 years old and during the aforementioned monsoon season a couple weeks ago, leaked like a sie...
