Yesterday I wrote about a children's story I heard at church that disturbed me very much. The message of the story seemed to be that people should always be themselves and that they should always be loved and accepted, no matter what. In this case, it was about a boy who despite all evidence...
In my church, it is customary for the children to be read a short story before they are dismissed to their classes. The pictures are shown on an overhead screen so that everyone can see what the story is about. I usually enjoy this part of the service, but not the story chosen last Sunday. It...
I work in the environment industry. There are a number of terms banded around that have certain meanings that may or may not be understood by the General public, this is referred to as "industry jargon".
For example, "best practice". In the industry this term is used to refer to the latest...
i'm so tired of trying to interact with people and it ending up with either my outlook/actions/thoughts being wrong, it repeatedly gets to the point i don't want to try anymore and feel like crying. no wonder i dont want a job, i'm trying to save some money from what the government gives me to...
The other day, at my art association meeting, the subject came up of a member having a private showing in his home. When his address was mentioned, another member said, "That's a beautiful neighborhood."
Now, there are a lot of things you can say about my neighborhood but "beautiful" is not...
I just got off the phone with a woman from a state government office in Lansing, and it is not good news.
The park is not required to have a manager, either on site or off.
The park is not required to have leases. It appears we are on a month-to-month lease.
As far as the meter readings are...
Well, I went to see the lawyer yesterday, and it was somewhat of a disappointment. For one thing, he did not seem very interested in wanting to talk to me and seemed anxious to have the interview come to an end. Probably because it was a "free" consultation. He did give me a phone number to...
Well, I heard back from the power company and their response was exactly as I expected. "We are so sorry to hear of your problem . . . but you will have to take it up with your landlord as it is a tenant/landlord issue . . . also, we do not have your address in our database."
What part of "the...
I was listening to NPR the other day and since there is an election coming up, of course that was the big subject. Their reporters were interviewing a woman out in Colorado about the issues she was concerned about. She lives in a community that has seen much better days, and like so many of...
I finally got ahold of the Employee Assistance people. Either I had jotted down the wrong number or it was given to me incorrectly. Which was a relief. I was getting seriously worried there with this cruise ship survey business. Anyway they gave me the name of a local lawyer. Guess what...
This business with my electric bill gets stranger and stranger. We have an employee assistance program that supposedly helps employees with all kinds of issues, whether legal or medical or financial. It's supposed to be a help line. I've "used" it--if you can call it that--a couple of times...
It seems that I used a forbidden word the other day and so had my comments section locked, So I will be nice and try not to use it any more.
I was going to use the C-word to describe the widespread, semi-legal exploitation of trailer park residents all across the United States and possibly...
Hi guys,
I just wanted to share my story with all of you out there. I am a very private person and I don't really write about myself alot, but I am hoping that this will help some of you out there. Feel free to ask questions, I have no problem with that. I would like to help as much as I can...
About three weeks ago a senior scientist at my company gave a talk on Ebola. This man has had personal experience with the disease, having been at Reston, Virginia when an outbreak occurred among laboratory monkeys back in the 1990's. Unlike the current strain/strains of Ebola, this one was...
The other night I came home from work and found my rent statement on my door, When I read it I just about had a heart attack. They had way overcharged me on electric! So I went to my neighbors and found that they had been overcharged even more, over a full month's rent. And what they are...
By now, anyone who is not living under a rock has probably heard about Michael Brown and Ferguson, Missouri. But how many people have heard of Michael Day?
Michael Day was a 13-year-old African American middle school student living in the Edison neighborhood of Kalamazoo, Michigan, who was...
My church is trying to get people to sign up for an introductory anti-racism training seminar. The full seminar is 2 1/2 days and costs $500. The introductory is only a half-day and costs $100. They are also trying to get grants to cover the cost of the introductory.
Both seminars are run by...
Yesterday I wrote about the necessity of having thick skin if you are creating something of yourself for the public. I'd like to share an actual rejection letter that I received. I don't have the letter but the words are seared into my heart.
To give a little background, I had spent at least...
Mom isn't feeling well today and so I am cleaning the house for her. Dad is taking care of sister's diabetes checks today which makes me nervous; he knows how to do it but usually mom does it. I haven't known him to mess up with a ratio in a long time but nonetheless it makes me anxious. But mom...
I see that I have made another person upset with my frank talk about writing. That is her prerogative. However, I have to ask, what would this person's reaction be if she were to get a rejection letter, as I did, suggesting very strongly that the writer sounded emotionally unstable and needed...
