Busy Mom Blog » Back in the blogging saddle

Well, hello there. I haven't written much in a while. We've been on vacation as you can probably tell from the pictures and the sideways video in the previous entries. We went to Navarre Beach, FL and it was a lot of fun. It's a small beach town, but it has all the stuff you need nearby. Check I even ... [Link]

Is July 5th too soon after the Independence Day celebrations to confess that I don’t love fireworks? Like everyone else, I enjoy trying to capture fireworks in photographs. At the same time, every boom, crackle and hiss makes me cringe. Explosions are the soundtrack for the lives of men, women and children all over the world. They can’t call the ... [Link]

Has to be Elephantine Island. Though of course there’s no way to know (yet anyway), I can well imagine that the Jewish Temple which sat on this island in the middle of the Nile at Aswan would have been somewhere on this patch of land. Here are some photos I took while I was there.  (The one above is from ... [Link]

A little special salute today for the first settlers of this county and those who fought in the "Revolutionary War" for our Freedom as a country. If not for these folks we might still be living on the east side of the Smokies. Also, I'm going to talk about the first Forts in the county. Not a lot of details, ... [Link]

ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN PRODUCING more first dates? “Some singles are now hunting for dates with the same fervor others are showing hunting for jobs. . . . Last fall, comparing periods when the stock market fell more than 100 points and when it rose by the same amount, eHarmony found more members searched for matches when the financial news was grim.” ...

I'm not too familiar with how blogs work but i have a question.. Is it possible to send a private message back to someone that made a comment on a posting? perhaps to just ask that person directly about something they may have suggested instead of adding to the topic. Also, is there any way to see new comments that ... [Link]

Ἰάκωβος δυσμή » A New Volume by Stegemann on Paul

Details here.  It sounds really interesting.  If only there were some publisher in North America, headquartered perhaps in some midwest state, that carried TVZ publications that an interested soul could order it from… Anyone know of such a wondrous publishing house?  And if this is the same as the 2005 volume of the same title, author, etc.?

Random Mumblings » The Michael Jackson breaking news moment
Posted 5 hours ago
The above comic by John Campbell is a cynically funny view of news coverage of a celebrity death whether it's Michael Jackson, whose death inspired the above, or former NFL quarterback Steve McNair's yesterday in a bloody Nashville condo. Continuing a pattern we've seen in the past with Tim Russert' s death and other breaking news events, Wikipedia was one ... [Link]

MICKEY KAUS: It’s seemed to me that the Obama administration has made a mistake in the framing of the health care issue: ‘We’ll raise your taxes and in exchange we’re going to cut your treatments.’ I mean, how could that not have widespread appeal? It’s pain/pain! Heh. [Link]

Insty on fireworks (and life in general):“Leave it to the trained professionals” is one of the cancerous mantras of our age, and there’s a big difference between setting off your own fireworks and sitting passively while others do it for you — the difference, if I may say so, between having sex and watching porn.
