Tom slapped his stomach to quiet the rolling growls within. He inhaled deeply, raised his arm and knocked on the door of the large stone building. The door was opened by a chubby, balding priest. His hands brushed down his vestments as if to push away crumbs. Tom inhaled deeply again, and blurted out, “May … More Tom Hardy (An embellished story)
I had always supposed that one day the Earth would be blown up, much like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the whole planet would be blown to smithereens. So I got out Mr. Strong’s concordance, and set it next to the book of Revelation. Well ok, I cheated a little; Mr. Strong’s is now electronic. I was … More What’s going to happen to the Earth?
Yesterday was Mr. Porter‘s first day at his new job, so I thought I would surprise him with dinner. But I made a huge mistake, and I forgot everything I had learned in 6th grade science class. As you know, the only thing I whip up in the kitchen is trouble. But no, this time … More “So would you like me to bring home some Chinese?”
Whew! It’s been a rough couple of weeks here. Shifting gears, making decisions, trying to keep what’s left of my sanity. I’ve hidden the bathroom scale, because I’m not quite ready to know what it’s telling me. (I would need rather strong wings….hehehe) Coffee, oh coffee, how I love thee. Today is Mr. Porter‘s first … More Where have I been? Where am I going? Another mid-life crisis moment.

Mom is working on her blog about the Federal Reserve. She has been mumbling under her breath a lot. She is fact-checking and looking for pictures. And mumbling under her breath. A lot.

I’m going to make this easy. Debt for individuals: 1. If you use a credit card to buy something because you don’t have the money, the “borrowed” money is DEBT. 2. Debt makes you a servant to the lender. (Proverbs 22:7) You have to go by their rules: When to pay it back, how much each payment has … More Debt 101 — Debt Limits for Dummies – Debt Ceiling
Years ago when I had my first car and my first custom car stereo system, I did mix a tape and we played it until it got that “window sound” –which means it was time to throw it out the window. 😉 Many years have passed since then, and life has changed me. So here … More My Mix Tape Masterpiece – Daily Prompt
Oh sure, it’s “pretty” when you look out the window and see the snow falling. And sure, the fire is so delightful. It’s almost that time of year again, time to dress like a Canadian. Layers and layers of clothes, piled on top of each other, trying desperately to keep the cold out. I’ve lived … More Dressing Like a Canadian
It’s the worst addiction of them all. It’s not just the nicotine; it’s all those other chemicals they put in there that make those cigarettes so addicting. I quit and restarted several times over the course of a decade, but I finally quit. (It’s been at least 15 years now.) Believe me, if you are … More How I finally quit smoking

Well, I have your attention now, don’t I?! If you’re been lurking around my embellished memoir, you know that Mr. Porter has been trying to make a HUGE decision, and I have not entirely been the best help-meet that I should be.

I attended a Holocaust Remembrance event yesterday. We obviously need to remember what happened because we want to prevent it from ever happening again. Volumes have been written on the Holocaust; I would just like to concentrate on one piece of it today: Propaganda. It all starts with ideas.

Where to start? I guess the middle is as good a place as any. So my fiancé (now Mr. Porter) and I had to attend the pre-cana classes and get our certificate before we got married.

I had a problem. I was concerned how I was going to be able to stay awake for “Person of Interest” at its new day and time. For two years CBS’s “Person of Interest” has been my favorite show.
