  • Most Morally Divided Questions in the US

    According to LiveScience they are: doctor-assisted suicide, abortion, and having a child out of wedlock. The first two I am glad about. The third I am surprised about. I don’t think it is a good idea. I think it is not the desirable way to go. But I didn’t think there was any social censure…

  • Tagged: A meme

    which requires me to think a bit. What was I doing ten years ago? 1998… Living in Austin. Had a five year old and a six year old. The six year old was in his first and last year of non-homeschool education with a teacher from Hell, or Boston, who made fun of the children’s…

  • Are you British in the bedroom?

  • A Meme

    Happy Catholic tagged me. Well, sort of. She said I could answer if I wanted to. That’s almost the same as tagging me. What was I doing ten years ago? Living in Austin. Just bought a house. Planting a garden with my dad. Going to a non-denominational church that actually, really, had no politics. Watching…

  • What kind of pie am I?

    I wasn’t going to post this quiz, but the answer is sooo me. And with only a few questions. You Are Apple Pie You’re the perfect combo of comforting and traditional. You prefer things the way you’ve always known them. You’ll admit that you’re old fashioned, and you don’t see anything wrong with that. Your…

  • Which is worse?

    Voting for someone you don’t agree with 100% or not voting at all and letting someone else pick the president. Even though my candidate has withdrawn (and was clearly not viable), I am still going to vote on March 5th here in Texas.

  • Select a Candidate Quiz

    Can be found here The quiz said I should support the candidate that I do. Fred Thompson is my candidate of choice. However, I would have thought my second choice would be Mitt Romney, but the quiz gave John McCain a one point (53 versus 52) edge over Romney. Go see who the quiz says…

    Teacher Lady tagged herself so I am tagging me. 1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I love gift bags but this year I’m about half and half. 2. Real tree or artificial? Er, is this what we want or what we have? I have a real tree. And it’s very nice. But it doesn’t hold…

  • I’m left brain dominant.

    My hubby took the Right Brain versus Left Brain creativity test and ended up 50%-51%. (He is 101%! I always knew he was wonderful.) But I’m at 66%-34% with left brain dominant. Left brain 54% verbal 47% reality-based 37% linear Right brain 32% nonverbal What does that mean? [M]edium to high scores (30 – 50%)…

  • Meme Questions

    I was reading over my comments and re-read this post. I am sure you realize it means that I like navel gazing. (If there were a Navel Gazers Anonymous I would probably avoid it because I love my addiction.) I decided I’d look up questions on the internet and ask myself them. I am putting…

  • Learning to shoot

    While my family went shooting on a regular basis, it was only the boys who went. My brother shot a rabbit when he was six. My cousins shot a hole through the floor of their car that their mother didn’t know about for several years. I never went shooting, though. After R and I had…

  • Other notes

    Don’t move around your house unless you have to. Stay in your room. Call 911. Get your gun. If the intruder goes towards your kids, then ge gt him. If he comes in my room’s door, I will be at the ready and challenge him- Loudly! I’ve said I would shoot someone in my house,…

  • When would you shoot?

    Under what circumstances would I shoot? Would I shoot if my spouse were in danger? My boys? My parents? That was a question they asked at Front Sight. Here’s my answer then. If they’re in my house, I will shoot. If someone I love is in danger, I will shoot. If I am in danger,…

  • Differences between moral and ethical.

    It may sound like a strange thing to discuss at a gun education meeting, but we did. They said moral is principles of right and wrong. Ethics are the societal opinions and accepted standards of conduct. …Interesting thought here. When we try people we try them based on our ethics, not morals, because we in…

  • Color Awareness

    One of the things we learned at Front Sight was color awareness. It’s a color code, like the US one for threat levels. I wrote in my notes: In White, the lowest level of threat awareness, you aren’t aware of anything. You are living like there is no threat and never will be. And that…

  • .40 S&W or 9 mm?

    The gun store guy recommended .40 S&W over 9 mm. I looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently the .40S&W was made because the 9mm didn’t have enough punch and the 10mm had too much. The .40 is in the middle of the two, with ease of firing like the 9mm and power of the…

  • Tagged

    Evangelical Outpost tagged me (or You, but I was me then) with a meme. Guess I’m still a newbie, despite four years as a blogger, since I love the things. 1) What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done, and why? (two sentences max) Teaching. As my husband reminded me, I’d do it if they…

  • A “good” person

    Why do people say that a murderer, a robber, a terrorist was a “good” person? Is it because we don’t know what good means anymore? (Note, after looking for the murderer=good thing I remembered reading, I found an article on murder in Victorian Ireland. He was a good man, his neighbors said, was a common…
