Wow, this is scary, the idea of ending no-fault divorce. Probably there are people who champion that cause because they believe that it encourages couples to work out their problems, and keep the legal contract of marriage, but wow... I have not watched the TV series The Handmaid's Tale, but years a...

This topic intrigues me because I have a 15 year old iPad that is simply not capable of doing most of what it formerly did. It hasn't changed, but the apps and especially the games I have enjoyed keep being upgraded, and this old machine cannot keep up. Here's the funny thing, though. I cannot go to...

Can only remarry after divorce if adultery was shown by the other party and was the actual reason for divorce. Being beaten almost to death, having money stolen from you, a person going to prison for committing a horrendous crime just doesn't cut it. Wow, this one hit me. Hard. That I was "onl...

We did switch to plastic disposable at some point.

I remember when I was a kid, helping my mom, thinking that they were like doll dishes. There was a big closed strainer of some kind, in which they cups were swished around in a sink of hot soapy water, then they were drained and rinsed in the same strainer. After that, I don't remember. By the way, ...

I am blessed to say that when I do have CoC dreams, they are almost always happy dreams. I dream about the "singings" and the pot luck meals, and I dream about people who were important to me when I was a child. I have those dreams occasionally, and I welcome them. When I do have those bad...
