I thought this was interesting

Although the post is over a year old, it quotes scientists admitting that they don’t know if HIV causes AIDS. I’ve heard other scientists and doctors say that over the years — including one who offered to be injected with HIV, because he was so confident it wouldn’t progress into AIDS. One person commented after [...]
*Not* Seth’s day!

Yesterday, Seth was climbing on a little kiddie musical table and fell, and scraped his chest and got “road rash” (for lack of a better term) from it. Then a few hours later, he was playing on our back deck and somehow got a huge (but very thin and flat) shard of wood under his [...]
Big step forward
Posted by: Kathy on: August 26, 2008
(When I install the scanner onto the computer, I’ll attach the picture of Keith’s picture that he drew, but now just for historical purposes, I’ll blog about it.)
Up until yesterday, whenever Keith had drawn anything, it was just a mass of squiggles and lines and circles — all connected, all jumbled, no rhyme nor reason. [...]
Map of Known Sexual Offenders
Posted by: Kathy on: August 22, 2008
Go to Family Watchdog for free maps of Known Sex Offenders. You have to create an account and log in, but it’s free. You can also sign up for emails when sex offenders move in or out of the area. It was featured on the Dr. Phil show a couple of years ago.
One of the [...]
Revisionist History: Abortion
Posted by: Kathy on: August 16, 2008
Here is a compelling article that makes me want to read the full book, Dispelling the Myths of Abortion History. The article is written by the author of the book, and takes on a “review” someone did of his book, without, apparently, reading the data on which his book was written, but instead just repeating [...]
The Turn of a Phrase
Posted by: Kathy on: August 10, 2008
I noticed that someone had found my blog by looking up the “sex offender” tag, so I decided to see what else was out there under that tag. I found one blog post that urged a repeal of the “Adam Walsh” Laws, because authoritative studies show that 3 out of 4 sexual offenders do not [...]
I am not Samantha
Posted by: Kathy on: August 9, 2008
For some reason, a lot of my spam emails lately have been addressed to somebody named Samantha. At first, I assumed it was just one of those things where they send out millions of emails with thousands of different names in them, just hoping that some of the emails will actually reach the people who [...]
Recipes from the Cabin
Posted by: Kathy on: August 9, 2008
When we were in Minnesota at my dad’s cabin, I took the liberty of typing up the recipes he had collected and saved up there. I thought there were more than there actually were, so it didn’t actually clear up that much room in the drawer, which was my intention; however, my father-in-law does have [...]
Bye-bye, ‘nail!
Posted by: Kathy on: August 8, 2008
I took the boys out with me while I was doing some stuff around the yard, so I could keep an eye on them. I saw that they discovered something under a rock, and went to check it out with them. Keith said, “Look, mommy — a snail!” Sure enough, it was, plus a bunch [...]
Small-town Directions
Posted by: Kathy on: August 6, 2008
I’ve lived in a small town all of my life, except for 2 years when I lived in a “small” suburb of Chicago right after getting married. This small suburb had 4-lane roads (with a center turning lane as well) for its main roads, with most of the rest being 3-lane roads, and only the [...]
