Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a return from the past, and more TrueChristian nonsense about women, slavery, and predestination plus an announcement

I'm back from vacation. And what do I find?  A great comment to do a blog post on. One of the TrueChristians from the past has decided to return to the blog.  Ostensibly to see if I was behaving myself.  You know, us women can’t be trusted.  🙂   Of course Woody was around in February … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a return from the past, and more TrueChristian nonsense about women, slavery, and predestination plus an announcement →

What the Boss Likes – Sleepy Hollow, tv series

I’ve found a new favorite on TV.  Sleepy Hollow (beware auto audio will start to play) is great.  A smart female hero,  a smart male hero (and good looking people as both).  Lots of potential conspiracies (Illuminati, anyone?  Covens and the Catholic church?)  And plenty of character actors that we all love.  Clancy Brown (the … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Sleepy Hollow, tv series →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before

There is much ado in the media and the interwebs lately about saying “This goes no further.”  where one challenges the status quo and demands a change and where one gets resistance by those who say “there’s no real problem”. I’m involved, tangentially or directly, in several aspects of this declaration that essentially says “no … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely detailed review of “Christian Nation” claims

Two common subjects on this blog are false statements made by theists, particularly many Christians, and the claims that the United States of American is a "Christian" nation.  This July, a TrueChristian business, Hobby Lobby, took it upon themselves to again run a large ad in major newspapers on July 4th claiming that the US … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely detailed review of “Christian Nation” claims →

From the Kitchen and from the Bar – Steak and beers

Steak and beer, the classic American experience.  Might be the classic Australian one too.  One of the benefits of working in the meat department of a very large grocery store is that I can get very nice cuts of meat.  No employee discount but I can have a fellow employee weigh me out my chosen … Continue reading From the Kitchen and from the Bar – Steak and beers →

From the Bar – some new wines and beers

We’ve tried some new wines and beers recently.  One does need fortification when dealing with endless silliness in this blog’s comments. No, don't go look.  You'll regret it  🙂 First wine up is Covey Run Red Blend.  We both like red blends since you can get exactly what the wine maker wants rather than depending on … Continue reading From the Bar – some new wines and beers →

What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation

This is absolutely hilarious, perhaps even funnier and more VILE and TrueChristian than the hate mail readings for the FFRF:  http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2013/07/mrff-hate-mail-readings-chapter-1-of-more-to-come/ It is very much NOT SAFE FOR WORK or anyone who doesn't have cast iron ears.  Parents, you are warned! Always good to have TrueChristians wishing "extremely painful rectal cancer" on others.   🙂  Gee, … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Do something about it

Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has an excellent article on "uncivil" civil rights activism:  No Pleasure Ride on a Unicorn: The case for "uncivil" civil rights activism". As repeat readers will know, I advocate for being the "rough men" that do their best to stand up and defend everyone's rights.  The pertinent … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Do something about it →

From the Kitchen – Pineapple upside down cake, crabby peppers, etc

This post is to catch up on what I’ve been cooking.   We did watch a movie this weekend with a meal, but it was the Brain from Planet Arous, a classically bad movie but one of the first, if not the first, that had aliens taking over human bodies.  Something that appeals to my Trekkiness … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Pineapple upside down cake, crabby peppers, etc →
