Open Thread 20241225 – Pagan inclusion, or Creation calculation – how did Christmas come to be?

Recently, I accidentally discovered that a long-held belief of mine was very likely untrue! As I sure you all can identify with, this was somewhat disconcerting. Who likes to be wrong? But I am a researcher, and accepting what one finds when researching is imperative. I thought I would share what I found out with … Continue reading Open Thread 20241225 – Pagan inclusion, or Creation calculation – how did Christmas come to be? →

Curiosity and the Occult

HD-wallpaper-laughing-kitten-smile-kitten-kitty-cat

I originally thought I would write about the voodoo religion and its practices in this post. Others commented both on the value of that, and of the dangers inherent. Upon reflection, what I will write is more of a treatise on how to research and satisfy the curiosity about this kind of thing, and the … Continue reading Curiosity and the Occult →

Stolen Valor – A(n ex-)wife’s perspective

I have said a few times in the last couple of weeks that the Tim Walz stolen valor scandal has hit me hard and made me furious, because it is personal. Yet I have never been in the military. I have never served in combat, been shot at, or seen a buddy die. But I … Continue reading Stolen Valor – A(n ex-)wife’s perspective →

Daily Thread 9/5/2023 – And now for something a little bit different…

20231005 Open Topic I have mentioned before that my many-times great-grandmother was one of the last women tried for witchcraft in America, a full hundred years after Salem, in 1792. I say "tried," but it was her neighbors, not the courts, who put her on trial. She was tortured, but survived. And she was about … Continue reading Daily Thread 9/5/2023 – And now for something a little bit different… →

They Haven’t Suffered Enough… Trump, the Economy, and Generation Z

As I watched and listened to Trump last night, I was reflecting on what had just happened in the midterms, and what it all means for 2024. Trump spoke about how voting would be "different" in 2024. That things would change. Those comments led me back to this: "An Edison Research National Election Pool exit … Continue reading They Haven’t Suffered Enough… Trump, the Economy, and Generation Z →
