Adventures in medical care

April 21, 2009

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 [...]

In the name of God, I abuse You

November 10, 2008

Since opening this blog there is one thing I’ve never really written about. My childhood. Especially my childhood after mother became a born again fundamentalist. I was about ten years old when that happened and she was dead by the fall of my 14th year.  By the time of her death she considered me [...]

She calls me Max

October 13, 2008

And it’s a very good thing that I’m cute, because with all the foot biting, arm gnawing, leg chewing and plant digging I do when I’m not trying to take on the neighbour’s Pomeranian, it’s a wonder a particular resident of the house I’ve adopted hasn’t evicted my little orange butt.
Did I mention I had [...]

Many a long & lonesome highway

October 8, 2008

I recently re-installed Messenger after a few years or so and found out it now comes with a music player.  I found the old[er] country station with ease and was soon listening to one of my favourite songs, “Long and Lonesome Highway” by Rodney Crowell.
And since I haven’t posted a video in a while, I [...]

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 you [...]

Sympathy for the devil

April 3, 2007

Have you ever been put in a situation where you’re forced to side with someone you really don’t care for? I’m in that kind of situation with my maternal aunt this morning. I’ve written about my aunt before and could probably write a book on the various run-ins we’ve had over the years. [...]

Patrick Craig’s Accusations

March 27, 2007

Patrick Craig of The Passionate Atheist was not banned for disagreeing with me. Patrick Craig was banned because his comments were from the get go insulting and abusive with no real disagreement in them, unless one counts “you’re an idiot and that makes you wrong because I said so” as “disagreement”.
His comments [...]
