3 Estrogen - 1 Testosterone = Insanity
I am married with 2 teenage daughters. We have 2 female dogs and 2 female cats.
Is it any wonder I am a geek?
Oh yeah, there is one male Gerbil left, although we have not spent much time together.
Things that I can’t grasp.
Didn’t we just buy a 24 roll pack of …
Mr. Mom
My lovely wife has been away for a few days, and I am soooo glad she is back !!
I will admit that my teenage daughters are not as hard to take care of as they once were, but, I know that my wife does so much on a daily basis …

Set List: Janis Ian, England 2006
"At Seventeen," the song Celine Dion sang gently Wednesday night, keeping her powerful pipes in check, was penned by Janis Ian, a singer who has maintained a loyal following in the three decades since the song was a significant hit. Earlier this year, Ian's autobiography "Society's Child" was published by Tarcher/Penguin, but Wednesday was a remindeer of the gracious and artful nature of "At Seventeen." Ian has led quite distinct life. In the book she discusses her family being watched by the
Economy forces divorcing couples to live together
From the Associated Press, December 4, 2008 Running into your ex is almost always awkward and stressful. David Snyder and Nancy Partridge deal with it nearly every day. The D enver couple divorced after six years of marriage but have been forced to live together for months because they can't sell their place or afford to set up separate households in this slumping economy. Snyder gets the master bedroom, while Partridge gets a smaller one. Snyder watches TV at one end of the house, Partrid
New York Democrats Strike Deal; Same-Sex Marriage Vote Tossed
A big deal went down between Democrats in the New York Senate today forged by pressure from the so-called gang of three (Sen. Carl Kruger, Sen.-elect Pedro Espada Jr., and Sen. Ruben Diaz), and the likeliness of a same-sex marriage vote coming to pass in the next session of the legislature went down the tube as a result, even though the deal gives Democrats a solid majority. The New York Daily News has the details. And here's the unacceptable part: "A bill to legalize same-sex marriage will
Are we (still) a Judeo-Christian Country?
There has been a tremendous swing away from organized religion in the United States, with adults professing they are Christian dropping about a percent per year since 1990. This is following a trend set in Europe where Christianity is rapidly fading into a non-factor in both cultural and religious arenas. The fastest growing religion in the US is apparently Wicca, which is an “Earth based neopagan” view of life that is doubling every 30 months. While Wiccans comprise only approximately 134,0
Heidi's mom gives Speidi's marriage 6 months
Posted 3:50 p.m., Dec. 4 Like everyone else, Heidi's mom Darlene doesn't like Spencer. Here's what she told UsWeekly about Heidi's marriage to Spencer. "I think it's the biggest mistake Heidi's ever made," she said. We think so too. And she says what we've all been thinking too about her new son-in-law: "He's manipulative and seems to have power over Heidi," she said. "I would like to see a blood test from Mexico. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had her drugged." Well, the last part is a
Must Be A Winner Today!
Lynda Hidalgo you are the winner! Please send me your snail mail address so I can mail your Christmas stamps out to you right away!! Thanks for paying me a visit! I'm getting ready for my sister and her daughter's visit tomorrow. They don't get in until around 11 PM, but that's ok. Can't wait to see them both! I rented beds again, so they'll be there tomorrow afternoon. I still haven't cleaned up my mess in the living room. How can a girl work and clean? I've been busy stamping up a storm. Ok,
A followup to Susan's post of David Weiss's e-mail ...
Our journey to holy union Kate Childs Graham December 4, 2008 About a month before Proposition 8 passed in California Nov. 4, taking away an array of human rights, and the U.S. bishops decided to team up with the Knights of Columbus to make the “preservation of marriage” one of its key focuses for the next five years, my partner, Ariana, and I made our commitment to one another. Our marriage was not “legal” by terms of the state of California or the official Catholic church. Yet, in o

CIS Report on Marriage Fraud
Another CIS report, this time on marriage fraud, is again critiqued for shoddy reliance on anecdotal evidence to draw largely unsubstantiated claims of rampant marriage fraud. ra
Hummer: Prop 8: The Musical
No art form is better suited to distill the drama of emotional political issues than musical theater. Accordingly, Marc Shaiman, the mastermind behind the Hairspray soundtrack, brings us "Prop 8: The Musical." Featuring Margaret Cho, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jack Black (as Jesus, who sagely preaches that if gay marriage is a Biblical abomination, so too is shrimp cocktail) it's three minutes you shouldn't wait another minute to watch. -- JESSANNE COLLINS
Heterosexuals have neurotic fear of same sex?
Yes, that is what public education is promoting with its indoctrination: The mother of a Wisconsin teenager was stunned when her high school senior brought home a questionnaire assigned by his English teacher that asked, among several provocative questions, "Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?" The mother, Marilyn Hanson, reviewed the questionnaire and thought it completely inappropriate for any class, but especially for a required
Are You in the Doghouse?
Well, are you? Lately, there has been a surge of internet advertising that involves short movie clips, and this one has got to be the best one I've seen yet for the holiday season. I also want my Big Bear to avoid being thrown in the doghouse as he has a number of times. Oh, this is going to be fun telling you these stories. On our first Christmas together, he bought me a beautiful ski coat and outfit. It was very nice. Except that I don't ski. I think he was hoping, though, because
It is a day for law student responses. Oklahoma law student, Nicholas Bender responds David Weiss' "Sodomy and Civil Rights" posted here: "David Weiss defines sodomy this way: "Sodomy happens when any group uses their majority or their power to abuse and marginalize another group." He says this is what happened when people in California and other states voted to ban legal recognition of same-sex marriage. To me, his argument seems faulty on several levels. First, he makes a huge leap in logi
Sharing Our Task
Mere Comments has been difficult (but still enjoyable!) to maintain, and we've hung in there through this fall and I plan to continue it, with help, going forward in 2009. A number of the Touchstone editors will be gathering in Chicago in mid-January to discuss and make plans for the magazine, as we normally have done annually or semi-annually as schedules (and funds) permit. Mere Comments will be on the agenda. The times dictate that we strive all the more diligently to emphasize the unchan
Do I call this a second honeymoon, if we didn't have a first one?
A couple of weeks ago, my Husband told me he nominated for an award, and BOTH of us were invited to Washington DC. The Army said BOTH. You know how rare that is? I seriously did not give it much thought, after he had brought it up. The logistics of childcare for 4 ENTIRE days, yeah impossible. Who does one ask for 4 days of babysitting? I had never done this before, and frankly it seems like a HUGE FAVOR. HUGE. I was speaking to my Father on the phone that evening, and mentioned it
Prop. 8: The musical. Funny or Die's finest hour
John C. Reilly, Jack Black and many other faces you'll recognize turn up in Funny or Die.com's in Marc Shaiman's riff on California's Proposition 8 anti-gay marriage law. Need a righteous laugh? Here'tis. See more Jack Black videos at Funny or Die
Also Fond of "The Sultan of Suite"
Today is a self-imposed low-key day for me: I am studiously avoiding any kind of strain that might make me have to go to that palace of delights known as labor and delivery, also known as The Place Where Good Births Go To Die. That's perhaps harsh, because it doesn't take into account the good work by triage nurses and obstetricians and midwives who don't think of a pregnant woman as someone with a serious condition or someone who is irredemably sick and needs to be "fixed". However, since We
SURVEY: Education and Income Played Big Role in Prop 8 Passage
A new statewide survey of California voters reveals that education and income were as influential as many other factors in the failure to defeat Proposition 8 in California: "The new survey by the Public Policy Institute of California of 2,003 Californians who voted Nov. 4 found significantly less support for Prop. 8 among blacks than had been indicated by exit polls. Election Day exit polls triggered recriminations between gay rights advocates and black leaders. And now the new data indicates
Poll: California Gay Marriage Ban Driven By Religion
SAN FRANCISCO – Voters' economic status and religious convictions played a greater role than race and age in determining whether they supported the Nov. 4 ballot measure outlawing same-sex marriage in California, a new poll shows. The ban drew its strongest support from both evangelical Christians and voters who didn't attend college, according to results released Wednesday by the Public Policy Institute of California. Age and race, meanwhile, were not as strong factors as assumed. According
