From the Bar – wine and beers from our day trip in York and Lancaster Counties, PA

We had a bit of a staycation last weekend. South-central PA has a bunch of wineries, breweries and good restaurants so we picked a direction, York and east to Lancaster, and headed out.  Sorry, no photos.  I'm not much of a photographer anyhow. 🙂 Just a note, these places did charge for sampling as most … Continue reading From the Bar – wine and beers from our day trip in York and Lancaster Counties, PA →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news

Just some various thoughts about religion, politics, etc. None were showing promise as a blog post on their own, but I found them interesting enough to gather together. ........... No idea what is going on with the Republican party or its candidates. Trump seems to be doing his best to get attention but to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: lies told about Planned Parenthood, so does religion make you more moral?

The attacks on Planned Parenthood were started with a lie, continued with lies when the Christian organization, Center for Medical Progress (known to have lied before), intentionally tried to edit the videos to present people untruthfully, and have continued with the lies told by politicians who are too lazy or too biased to care about the truth. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: lies told about Planned Parenthood, so does religion make you more moral? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where we find more lies told by TrueChristians, in order to defame people….. Pity that the bible insists that lying is a sin

Not surprisingly, TrueChristians(tm)  are trying to destroy Planned Parenthood, an organization that helps many more women than any set of prayers. They need to lie to do so.  Not surprising at all.  And what god hates liars?  Oh yes, the Christian one.... To find the facts, and not Christian lies, you can go here:  http://www.factcheck.org/2015/07/unspinning-the-planned-parenthood-video/ … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where we find more lies told by TrueChristians, in order to defame people…..

From the Bar – a handful of new spirits and wines to try plus a new snack

We went on a shopping trip to replenish the bar. These were mostly on sale at the PA liquor stores when we were there last week. Bacardi Black (Carta Negra) Rum – This is a strange one. To our palate, it is wood and smoke, coal smoke. There is the standard sweet molasses rum taste, … Continue reading From the Bar – a handful of new spirits and wines to try plus a new snack →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible

So... we have an entire bunch of clerks in Tennessee that have resigned their jobs rather than even have a chance of granting a marriage license to someone they don't like, that being folks who want to marry whom they want, and not whom the clerks want them to marry. It's great that other people … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria

Whoo-hoo, marriage for all!   I hope that everyone who chooses to get married is as happy as my husband and I. Rather than reviewing the SCOTUS decisions since others have done a better job than me, I found a typical opinion piece by one of the horrified TrueChristians, or as he puts it “orthodox Christians” … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria →
