I haven't blogged about the Tea Bag party, mostly because it is too easy to mock them. The name alone makes me giggle. Tea Baggers. Particularly since they seem to be conservative Republican who, I believe, would find tea bagging abhorrent. Yeah, I know you've heard all the jokes before, which is why I've avoided them.But now I understand how these people could have taken such a ridiculous

I like books. I like how books feel. I like how they smell. I like how they look on my shelf. I don't like ereaders. I've seen most of them, even the Kindle, in person. I just don't see the point.Yes, they are portable, but so is a book and I don't have to worry about battery life in my books.Yes, you can take hundreds of books with you, but I've never wanted to do that. Yes, you can go on

It has started. Actually it started before Halloween. It? Christmas decorations in the stores.Now I have no trouble with Christmas (although I prefer Yule, but that's a different post). I have trouble when Christmas trumps Thanksgiving. Now Christmas has encroach upon Halloween, I must protest.Christmas decorating should start on Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving.

I've decided to reopen my blog. I'm not sure why I stopped, but I did miss it.So what have I been doing? First, I haven't been well. I've been averaging a surgery a year. Two years ago they removed my girly-parts, and last year I had knee surgery. Now it looks like they want my tonsils. The surgery I really want is the lap-band bariatric surgery, but I only get enough sick time from work for

No this isn't one of those list-jokes.Well, yesterday I sat down to lunch and plopped my purse on the table. A co-worker looked into my purse and said, "Hey, is that hand cream?" and reached for something deep inside my shoulder bag. What she had spotted was, in fact, my reading glasses' case.But still, I looked with fear at what else she might pull out.Back in my twenties, I would have worried

Today we see a world full of unhappy insanity. Between the Virginia Tech Massacre and the soliders killed daily in Iraq, everything seems insane. To make it even worse, the conservative bloggers and commentators have tried to turn the Virginia Tech Massacre into some sort of "pro-gun" thing.I so wanted to photoshop a pic of the killer with the NRA logo. But I didn't (yet). The part of me that

This is an old post from February that I never put up on my blog.A purity ball.At which, young women pledge their virginity to their fathers. And fathers pledge to protect their daughter's purity. This is a copy of the father's pledge:The PledgeI, (DAUGHTER'S NAME)'S FATHER, CHOOSE BEFORE GOD TO COVER MY DAUGHTER AS HER AUTHORITY AND PROTECTION IN THE AREA OF PURITY. I WILL BE PURE IN MY OWN LIFE

No. But I'm off from work today because of the snow, so this is like a free dayAnd because I've not blogged in so long, I'll keep this short and just give you pictures.

Anyone who isn't aware, PublishAmerica runs one of the most distasteful writers' scams. If you Google PublishAmerica, you will find a multitude of former PA authors who have had their work hijacked.What does PA do that is so bad? They are a vanity press in reverse. They print your book, but make it next to impossible to get it onto bookshelves. There is no promotion, marketing, distribution, the

This is the third year that Darling Daughter has done the polar bear plunge. Personally, I think it is insane, however cool.The air temperature was 59 and the water was 48. A rain squall hit about 20 minutes before the plunge was scheduled, so it felt much colder. Observers and participants were both soaked.My daughter, of course, was the last one out.Here are the pics.

Depression is a funny thing. (see post below) My daughter told me not worry, because depression is all in my head (she was being serious). Then she said that maybe something good will happen today.And, of course, she was correct.I'm published.Not how I expected, but published is published.

Now I'm not saying that I'm not at fault. Perhaps it really is my fault, but if it is, I just don't understand. Not that this would be anything new. I went through most of my school years not getting "it". I always felt that I had missed the memo that detailed fashion, music, behavior and slang that would have kept me from being out of synch, socially, with my peers.So maybe I missed the

Anyone who lives on the east coast is aware of the Nor'easter that blew through. Here in Pennsy, we had some hellacious rain, but that was all.However, at my sister's house, in Ocean City, NJ, there was some serious flooding. By Thanksgiving, the storm had passed, but the flooding (always the fun part of nor'easters) was still there, as indicated in these pics: This is outside my sister's house.

Darling Daughter wanted to go camping with her friends. Camping is something I enjoyed at her age (14), but hate now. I felt guilty depriving her of this experience. So when the opportunity presented itself, I was quite happy.The downside is that the camp is a church camp. Now we are spiritual people, but not religious. Not for lack of trying, I'm a non-practicing Catholic, Lutheran, Wiccan, and

This is the new template. I didn't move all of my customizations over yet, but of course none of them are documented, so it's a pain in the ass.And I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this template.

I believe I've fully recovered from my weekend extravaganza at the Philadelphia Writer's Conference. It was a wonderful conference, exceedingly so, because I got a scholarship for it from my writers group.Unfortunately, I did not have the money for a hotel room, I commuted each day. Which wasn't too unfortunate, because the regional rail line is a great way to travel to the city.The PWC is

Today is "Blogging for LGTB families" day. I didn't know about it until I read Terrance's post on Republic of T. Now you might ask why would a straight woman care about lesbian and gay families.Because an attack on any type of family is an attack on all families. Including mine.Why should these families be treated differently? What makes the man/woman/child family somehow superior than any other

I had a first happen to me today. I met a blogger whose blog I have on my blogroll.I was at the monthly meeting of my writers group. The speaker was an agent, and her topic was promotion. Not a pressing issue for me, as I can't get any interest in my books, and I'm concentrating of short fiction.However, an agent is someone who I should listen to, regardless of the topic. And there were quite a

As usual, something is going on, and I'm elsewhere.For the unaware (like I was), the Absolute Write was abandoned by their web host because Barbara Bauer, an agent of questionable repute, got pissed when she was listed as one of the 20 worst agents.I knew that I couldn't get onto AW, but I thought my work filters had caught it.

This is one of the cruelest and meanest parts of our nation's history. I have to warn you that the images are disturbing.Searching through America's past for the last 25 years, collector James Allen uncovered an extraordinary visual legacy: photographs and postcards taken as souvenirs at lynchings throughout America. But the idea that someone though taking pictures of lynchings was a good idea is

I'm going to have to stop reading Lee Goldberg's blog, even though it is one of the best writing blogs around.Now he tells us that Surface and Invasion aren't coming back next season. I never really got into Invasion, but Surface was one of my favs. I think I liked Surface because I grew up at the seashore. As a child, I was certain that there were horrible creatures in the ocean.

I haven't blogged about writing lately. I guess it's because I haven't received any rejections lately.Which is odd, because I have 11 items on the street. Maybe that's a good sign, but I know that isn't necessarily true. I had one book take 10 months to get rejected. 10 months! It is a picture book, the manuscript is 3 pages.

The Sopranos are back. I really missed them, but I was nervous about the new season. Too many times, when television shows are continued after they should have shut down production. Sometimes for years after the show stopped being interesting. But they continue to produce episodes and people continue to watch.

Recently, a co-worker and I were discussing choice. His main argument was that there are no unwanted children. That except for extreme situations, a woman should not have an abortion, because there is always someone who would want a child.This reasoning is common among anti-choice people. But it isn't true. If it were true, then why are there over 1,200 children that no one wants, in Pennsylvania

Dariana has a heart wrenching post at Bring it On.Well it seems I have had another heart-stopping scare this morning. This is two in one week. So thank you very much Mr. Bush (NOT). See, if you would end this insanity in Iraq, my son and all the other fine Military we have over there could come home where they belong. Iraq is not their fight, thats YOUR battle.Two Army pilots were killed this

I have absolutely nothing to say about this. CNN is going to hire Bill Bennett according to Media Matters and Media Bistro. Media Matters reports:The weblog TVNewser recently reported that CNN has hired radio host and former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett as a political analyst to replace outgoing conservative columnist Robert D. Novak. According to the report, which

Pat Robertson is at it again. It was bad enough when he told Dover PA that God would not help them in case of a disaster.Now he has come out and said that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was caused by divine retribution, because Sharon was "carving up Israel", which is God's land. I'm not making this up! Read it here.If you wonder why a rabid-wingnut like Robertson would be so

January 1, 2006, the crowd waits for the Polar Bear Swim at Ocean City, NJ.Little Darling enjoying the frigid water. She's the one in the stripped top.Little Darling, one of the last ones out (except the viking).It was cold. Air temp was 40 and the water temp was 38. Many insane people, including my daughter, went swimming. And she enjoyed it. I really don't understand. At all.After the swim.

Humans do some odd things. Buying lottery tickets. Wearing your favorite team's shirt, when you are home, alone watching the game. Wearing shoes that make it impossible to walk any normal distance.The polar bear swim on New Years Day. That's the one that really confuses me. Why is going into the north part of the Atlantic Ocean in January fun? Who thought of this in the first place?In my hometown

On Friday, a co-worker and I were discussing the "Christmas Cards" (actually MS Publisher generated greetings) we received from other departments. Our department didn't send any, because we are either too lame or too cool to participate in this winter tradition.Of course, all of the notices (they really aren't cards, so I won't call them that) all said Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings.

But sometimes Karma plays a cool trick. A man robbed Joe Francis, creator of the "Girls Gone Wild" video slime series. The robber, forced Francis to disrobe and pose in demeaning positions for a video tape. What's funny is that this wasn't reported by Francis, but by his ex-bimbo Paris Hilton.Now I don't condone threatening people with guns, but if it was this man's fate to be robbed, then I'm

Can we do anything more demeaning? Maybe put in pole dancers? Hooter's girls?Saks had a "Shop with a Bunny" day. Unfortunately for women who value their dignity, it was a rousing success.I don't understand this at all. Do these guys just like pretty women for ornamental effect? Do they go home and masturbate?The men aren't getting any, but they act like they are. Would someone please explain

I had Christmas early. My family came to visit on the 16th and we exchanged gifts. My mom, sister, brother-in-law and nephew spent the weekend and we exchanged gifts.They don't visit much, we go to their house. Of course, they live in Ocean City, NJ 2 blocks from he beach, so their house is much more appealing than my little townhouse in Bath, PA.Yesterday I finished my shopping. For me this is

This is wrong, in so many ways.Service men and women who have died in Iraq are being shipped home as cargo. How unfeeling can the Bush government be? Please don't tell me this isn't the President's responsibility, I'll address that later.This is how a fallen soldier should return home. This is how we have always honored our dead.I can only imagine the insult added to the grief of parents/spouses

I was going to do a political blog today. The Highlander, over at Miserable Annals of the Earth has a pointed blog about why his views can alienate liberals. It is a great starting point for discussion. Abortion, gun control, affirmative action, hate crimes. Serious stuff that needs to be discussed and debated.However, I had a snow day today. No school, no work. Bath, PA is a winter wonderland,

December 7th. To most people in the US, this means Pearl Harbor. But for me, this day has another significance. It was my wedding day, 9 years ago.Normally, this would be called an anniversary. But I don't use that word. My husband died 6 months after we were married. Since we never had an anniversary together, I feel that I never had a wedding anniversary.My husband had cancer. A brain tumor. A

Statistics.Interesting article at Media Matters.A November 27 Washington Post article uncritically reported data from a flawed poll, concluding that the majority of Americans are "sympathetic" to "Vice President [Dick] Cheney's suggestion that criticism of the administration's [Iraq] war policies was itself becoming a hindrance to the war effort." In a poll released November 21 by RT Strategies,
