I don’t miss TV!
Posted by: Kathy on: November 28, 2008
We’re at my mother-in-law’s house for Thanksgiving, and the kids are loving having TV, and I’m being reminded every commercial break how much I don’t miss it! During the political season, whenever I went to my mom’s house and regular TV was on (as opposed to watching cable without commercials, or with only a few [...]
Miracle in Euthanasia Case
Posted by: Kathy on: November 26, 2008
I’d never heard of this story, until it came over the OneNewsNow update. In short, a young woman had a heroin overdose (while pregnant), was declared to be in a persistent vegetative state (due to oxygen deprivation) and was kept alive until the baby was born (healthy little girl). Her divorced parents had a difference [...]
Why I don’t teach my kids to believe in Santa Claus
Posted by: Kathy on: November 25, 2008
First, my parents didn’t teach me to believe in Santa Claus as a child, either, and I know I didn’t miss out on anything — in fact, in some ways, I had more excitement because we knew when my mom bought all the Christmas presents, then hid them away in her closet, finally wrapping them [...]
Stem Cells save woman’s leg

Let me rephrase that:
Adult stem cells save woman’s leg
With all the furor over embryonic stem cells — which requires the destruction of a genetically unique human life — but with little or nothing to show for it, it makes one wonder why the media has downplayed the great advances made in adult stem cell research, [...]
Stem Cell Research
Posted by: Kathy on: November 20, 2008
While the world goes agog whenever the slightest step forward happens with embryonic stem cell research (which has significant moral and ethical problems to many of us), when significant leaps happen with adult stem cell research (which has no moral or ethical problems at all), the results are largely ignored. Why? Why is it that [...]

My latest copy of Parents magazine came in the mail the other day, and I’m reading through it. It’s kinda like candy — not much substance but it gives me something to do — far too mainstream for me. Sometimes I get more enjoyment out of disagreeing with and/or arguing with an article or statement [...]
Who correctly predicted our current financial state?
Posted by: Kathy on: November 18, 2008
Check out this YouTube video that somebody did of financial analyst Peter Schiff’s appearances in 2006 & 2007 predicting our current financial predicament. He talked about house values falling, the credit crunch, and a recession starting in late 2008. He was frequently the only one in a panel of 4 who predicted this kind of [...]
Cheeky little mouse!
Posted by: Kathy on: November 16, 2008
Last night my cat (Bear) brought a live mouse into our house through his cat door. Of course, I immediately called my knight in shining armor to come down and dispose of the little critter. Before he got down, though, the cat had dropped and recaptured the mouse at least once, and then dropped it [...]
Digital Camera update
Posted by: Kathy on: November 12, 2008
Well, I was a bit optimistic that the empty box that was delivered yesterday that should have contained my digital camera was a complete oversight by the seller; but it was not as pessimistic as him just screwing me over. He lives in Georgia and sent it via UPS, and when it was sitting in [...]
I’m in shock!
Posted by: Kathy on: November 11, 2008
My husband bought a digital camera through ebay — used, so it was a good price for the camera; canon, so it fit the lens of our film camera. It was supposed to arrive today via UPS. I waited around all day for it, because a signature was required (it finally arrived just a few [...]
