https://catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking-to-each-other-and-start?s=09 I was looking through Twitter this morning and found a link to this post/Substack. She’s put into words some of what has been going through my mind with the slow implosion of Twitter. I’ve been on BBSs, usenet groups, MUDs, MUSHs, MMORPGs, it seems like people just move from one to another as things […]

I have been listening to a podcast lately. I got way behind on this podcast, and am slowly catching up. One of the episodes from Dec 2020 was about the Constitution Center. https://constitutioncenter.org/ This site has an interactive version of the constitution, allowing you to learn what each section says. The work was done by […]

We are still dealing with the after effects of my step-son’s death. We need his social security number to get a death certificate, but we can’t find his card anywhere. We are going to have to go to the social security office in Monday to see if they can give it to us. All we […]

We lost my stepson on Thursday. None of us even knew how bad things were for him. All I can think about right now is how much pain he must have been in, and how I failed him. His mother died last year, and his grandmother died in February. I was the only mother figure […]

I finally updated the site, but I have a couple of things I need to change. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet, so I’ll give it a couple of days. If it doesn’t grow on me, I’ll update it again. School started back today. Both of my kids are happy to be […]

I was scrolling through Twitter earlier today, I don’t even remember why now. I do know it was when I was waiting for my daughter to get back to the cars after her appointment for senior pictures. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-08-12/daily-harvest-recall-lentil-crumbles-fda-regulation-meal-kit-delivery-food-safety I just started to read the article, and realized it was behind a paywall. I found another […]

Comicon is here in town this weekend. It was good, but it feels like it’s missing something this year. The SCA did have fighting inside this year, so that was fun to watch. My daughter dressed (cosplay) as a character from one of her favorite anime shows. There were a lot of kids dressed as […]

I did start on the redesign of my site on 7/5 (the date of the last post), but I had to start preparing for a trip. My oldest got married on the 16th, in Saltillo, Mexico. The younger kids and I went to Mexico for 6 days to be at the wedding and do a […]

I started writing this last week. June 28 we had the primaries in OK. It’s interesting. I’m registered as an independent so I can only use the democratic ballot in the primaries. Republicans don’t have open primaries like Democrats do, at least here in Oklahoma. Every time I vote, I’m reminded of some of my […]

I started going through my pages – like my about me page. I had written it so far back that much of the information was out of date. I have updated it. I updated the Apoc page with the information on Apoc 6. I’m not sure if Apoc 6 is an official version or not. […]
