by Karen on December 25, 2011

Adventures in medical care

by Karen on April 21, 2009

ambulance Just wanted to pop in for a moment to say I probably won’t be posting much for the rest of the week.

The reason being our daughter was hospitalized over the weekend after having a seizure.  She’s alright now (already back at school) but I’m still exhausted and would probably sleep this week away if I could, but there’s follow-ups to do and medicine to “instill”.

October 13, 2008

Did I mention I [...]

And since I haven’t posted a video in a while, [...]

An overheard conversation

September 11, 2007

Sitting at the bus stop earlier I had the misfortune to overhear a woman going on and on about an atheist she knew.  From her tone and her volume I know her kind of believer. The kind that will NOT leave you alone.  The kind that ignores the phrases and words we use to avoid saying “I don’t [...]

Awakened Atheists

April 9, 2007

I just found a great comment over at Unscrewing the Inscrutable by Hank Fox and thought I’d share a part that hit home with me: But an Awakened Atheist? I don’t think there’s any way such a person could ever let religion back into his/her life. After you get religion out of your head, after [...]
