Recently there has been a lot of discussion regarding Gary McKinnon and his UFO obsession which led him to hack into NASA's computers. As a result he is in deep, deep ****. And once again Asperger's is center stage. His mother and his supporters claim that he is too fragile to face the...
This afternoon I witnessed something very disturbing. I was having my regular therapy session (yes, the very same therapy that Dr. Worthless thinks is a waste of time). It was late in the afternoon and I was one of the last scheduled patients. Now the clinic that I go to specializes in...
There's a country song out right now that kind of sets me on edge when I hear it. It's called "Something About a Truck" and the opening lyrics go "Something about a truck in a farmer's field. No Trespass sign. Nobody's gonna get hurt so what's the big deal?"
So what's the big deal? The...
Well I went to see Dr. Worthless this week and apparently now I am cured of what he thought I probably didn't have in the first place. He said my blood glucose and thyroid levels were fine so it wasn't that. Surprise. Anyway I definitely don't have carpal tunnel syndrome now even if I might...
The church has decided to do another vacation Bible club in my trailer park this summer. Because of my work schedule I will be unable to directly participate but I went to the planning meeting to look over the materials.
Since they are expecting a wide age range in terms of participants...
We are now studying Paul's letter to the Galatians and quite frankly I find it baffling It's too bad the reaction of his Galatian readers hasn't survived because I wonder if they would be equally baffled.
Galatians is one of the most anti-Jewish books of the New Testament Sure, it contains...
So I checked out our competition's webpage. No real surprises there. I dare say I could walk into one of their services and not notice much of a difference. They advertise themselves as a nondenominational congregation that stresses the Bible. So does mine. On one hand it's an essentially...
Uh-oh. We have competition. Another strip-mall plaza evangelical church has opened its doors just a mile or so down the road. You know, one of those hip, trendy churches with an edgy, nonthreatening name. In fact, that is its name. The Edge.
So now we have The Edge along with Freshwater...
Last week the assistant pastor preached on Baptism. I wasn't there as I had another commitment but I heard about it and I guess it was quite an interesting sermon.
This particular church does not believe in infant baptism but apparently they will baptise children if Pastor is convinced...
Well, the heat wave seems to be over, at least for now. At one point we were one degree hotter than Death Valley (though not for long) and 23 degrees hotter than Las Cruces, New Mexico. The record was 105 WITHOUT factoring in the heat index. The Weather Channel seems to think that this is the...
Well this promises to be an interesting summer and not just because they are predicting record heat (100 degrees F for tomorrow). Even my company is concerned about the heat and telling people to power down equipment and dim lights as much as possible. You can say all you want to about global...
The other day I was eating lunch in the cafeteria when I overheard a conversation from the table in front of me. This girl was making fun of another employee, talking about her face being "too small". I looked up from my book to see who the speaker was. Well, let me tell you she wasn't any...
As some of you know, I have been taking a break from the Internet and Aspies Central because I developed a problem with my hands. I am still having some problems but not as much thanks to the excellent therapy I have been doing. Back in April I went to a health fair and talked to a man at an...
Ok, take a deep breath. I am about to wade into some pretty turbulent waters here.
I want to start out by saying I don't know what the outcome of this case will be or ought to be. I'm glad that I am not on the jury because I don't think this is going to be a cut-and-dried situation. I...
Well, President Obama has finally come out in favor of gay marriage. I say hurrah for him. Quite frankly I don't really care one way or another but it's interesting how often the word "benefits" keeps cropping up in regards to marriage as opposed to "love". Maybe it's time to take a good hard...
I am taking a break from Wagner for the time being; even though I enjoy the story and the acting all that high-pitched singing in a language I don't understand gets on my nerves after a while. Honestly, they could condense the story down to two or three hours and not miss anything. But you...
Not long ago, while browsing through a catalogue I found the complete production (all 15 hours) of Wagner's Ring Cycle as presented at the Bayreuth Festival in Germany. Although I grew up listening to the music, and knew the basic plot, I'd never seen it performed. So I ordered it, and have...
Well, I see that the Republicans' wonder boy Mitt Romney is in hot water over something he calls a youthful "prank" and what others are calling assault. And of course there are those who are crying for his blood and there are those who are saying that it happened such a long time ago why bring...
Today we returned to the Book of Esther. We are now on chapter 4. All the Jews have learned that that an order has been issued from the palace calling for their extermination on a certain day and now they are all boo-hooing about it. Mordecai especially. He goes up to the palace all dressed...
Last week I wrote about the sermon that our so-far only candidate for assistant pastor preached and how he spent a great deal of time explaining why another popular pastor was wrong on his interpretation of a matter that I doubt that very few people outside of seminary really give a hoot about...
