Food

This is kind of a response to the troll's comment from a few days ago.  Not really, but it got me thinking, so here we go.I have mentioned how I have lead a very sheltered life--and I make no apologies for it.  It is what it is and I'm too old to want to change too much.  Nowhere is my sheltered life quite as obvious as in my eating habits.  And this all stems from my childhood.Growing up, our household revolved around what The Father wanted--or what The Mother THOUGHT he wanted.  He was/is a very tight-lipped individual,...

Troubled Waters

There have been problems in the mideast since Cain served Able a burnt pita. And although, I wasn't there when the brothers got into it, I have been hearing the mideast issues my entire lifetime and probably like the next person, a bit numb to it all. But now since I am so keyed into Uranus' move into Aries (and Jupiter soon enough) the action that happened today has got my hair standing on end. This could have problems that are far reaching. I hope not but god knows the cardinal cross is bringing out the worst in some.SHIP LEAVES ISRAEL IN...

Venus Williams French Open Upset: Was the Outfit to Blame?

One of last week's stories that made the blogosphere and interweb go boom was the risque outfit that Venus Williams wore to her opening round match of the French Open against Patty Schnyder.It was an outfit that most people probably expected to see on Dita Von Teese and not on the second ranked player in women's tennis. Williams easily won her match...

vilifying the image

Hillman says that ‘the basic disease from which our culture may be dying is man's disparagement, if not vilification, of images….accompanied by his faith in a….rationalistically ordered….civilization’. (Hillman, 1980: 186) Mc Farlane states that ‘the modern worldview of Western culture is characterized by an implicit division between the objective...

Baseball

Hockey will always be my favorite sport, but I am quickly becoming more than a little fond of baseball.  As a kid, I used to watch baseball, as well as hockey.  After coming back to sports, I started watching baseball a short time after reconnecting with hockey.  It is a good pastime during the hockey off-season.Many people think that baseball is a very boring game.  I, however, think it is a great game for summer--and describes summer perfectly.  It is laid-back and slow with periodic moments of frenzied activity--just...

Like Mother, Like Daughter

I believe--and I MAY be wrong--that The Oldest doesn't especially care to take after me.  I tease her often that she's 'more like me than she thinks' and she doesn't say too much.  It isn't a wonder that she WOULD be like me in many ways--after all, I DID raise her.The other night, we were talking, and the new movie (remake) 'Karate Kid' came up in the conversation.  She very adamantly said how she was boycotting the movie--"it is an abomination to the memory of the original."  I really had to laugh because I boycotted 'Titanic'...

New Toys

In the last month I have bought myself a couple of new toys/tech gadgets.  I guess neither one was REALLY needed, but they were good upgrades to what I already had.One day I was in our upstairs room and realized that the clock radio/CD player had died.  While I don't spend a lot of time up there, I do appreciate having a clock/radio/CD player...
