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 I had written it so far back that much of the information was out of date.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. […]

I finally got everything together to move web hosts. Unfortunately, there’s been a blip. If you happen to see a picture that isn’t loading correctly, can you let me know? So far it’s only been on this site. The other(s) are fine. Of course, one of them is a plain site for when I finally […]

I remember watching the Newhart show growing up. It was in reruns, but would still play after school. My husband has been watching a show (I think Deadwood) with the actor who plays Larry in it. Every time I hear his voice on the TV, I keep expecting to hear him come out with the […]

I was reading a paper from a copywriting place talking about how 27 years ago, let the Internet go beyond a research/non-profit platform. Amazon, eBay and PCWorld all got started that year. That was in 1995. The year after I started MUDding. It doesn’t seem like it could be that long. I’m listening to a […]

I recently set up a playlist on Spotify. It’s an interesting mix of songs, some one-hit wonders from the ’80s and ’90s, some Weird Al, some country, and some contemporary Christian. Every once in a while I add other songs. I might need to add We Don’t Talk About Bruno. It’s one of those earworms […]

My daughter has been getting headaches at least 3 times a week in December. I had her wear her old glasses to see if that was the cause. Of course it was. So off to the eye doctor. He said she had a slight astigmatism. She asked what that was and I explained about the […]

Between job applications, I’ve been writing little non-fiction books (like 65 pages) about things that I have researched as I’ve written for various sites over the years. I’ve accumulated a bunch of PLM books about these subjects as well. I’m combining my knowledge with anything in these books that’s still relevant and uploading them to […]

I saw this on Facebook the other day and sent it to one of my kids – probably my son since he’s in middle school. I do find it entertaining when I remember that the author of the above book used to teach middle school. I’m not sure if he still does after over 20 […]
