What the Boss Likes – Snowzilla, and a couple of pics from last summer

Update:  The aftermath.  Husband is digging out the bug.   Here I am sitting in the belly of Snowzilla, the current nor'easter battering the east coast of the US.   We have about 12 inches of snow (30.5 cm for you who have a sensible measurement system), and we still have around 10 hours of snow … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Snowzilla, and a couple of pics from last summer →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert

Just got back from The Force Awakens. We’d waited a bit to see the movie since we don’t like crowds. Alas, that didn’t help in this instance, the theatre was near full on a Monday afternoon (a US holiday).   I do wish I had waited longer. It stunk like a dianoga. Spoilers are below. Yes, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Marvel-ous morality

  I've been having some discussions with Christians on morality.  They certainly are sure that their morality and only theirs is divinely approved.   This chunk of comic (when Beta Ray Bill was wielding Mjolnir, aka Meow-Meow, in the Thor comics), is a good antidote to such nonsense. And found Thor's Hammer kittens on etsy:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/168518362/mew-mew-mjolnir-kitty-small?ref=shop_home_active_4   Far … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Marvel-ous morality →

What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting

Arrgh, I have a cold. What tedious misery. The following is pretty much stream of consciousness nattering. Treat it as you will. Apple Pie moonshine from Old Republic Distillery is very good mixed about half and half with boiling water and with a bit of hot buttered rum “batter” aka equal parts of butter and … Continue reading What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history

Just got my latest Smithsonian magazine. I have a particular fondness for this magazine, being one of the first I got when I was a kid in the late 70s. One of the first issues had the shots of Io’s volcanoes from Voyager 1.   About a decade later, I got an internship at one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity

Recently, we've found that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to being an idiot.  Jerry Falwell, Jr., son of failed prophet Jerry Falwell, and head of Liberty University, has said the following: "“It just blows my mind when I see that the president of the United States [says] that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity →

From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer

The Thanksgiving long weekend was a nice quiet one for us. We didn’t do the bird but we did eat a lot of appetizers as our feast. Most of them were from the freezer section of the supermarket, but we did make one from scratch.   Fresh jalapenos filled with garden vegetable cream cheese, wrapped in … Continue reading From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open

It’s a shame what a lot of Americans are advocating now, that we ignore the desperate and do exactly what the Muslim fundamentalists want us to do, be fearful, selfish twits. It is no surprise that it is the Republicans and Tea Party (haven’t heard that term in a while, eh?) who are cowards and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season

The “war on Christmas” has arisen once again. One would think that the TrueChristians™ here in the States would just stop, because every year, there is nothing accomplished but making themselves look like complete idiots. Schadenfreude is always great when someone causes their own problems. Take the Starbucks nonsense for instance… Happily many Christians have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season →
