About Me

Too late to meet them now but... Thomas Becket, Saint Bede, Oengus I, Attila the Hun, Henry VIII, and maybe Cleopatra.

Jewelry making & design (organic styles w/ copper, gemstones, glass & sterling); reading (fantasy, high fantasy [no sci-fi], pre-16th century history and historical fiction); gardening.

Let's see what else... amateur photography, travel (wishful thinking at this point!) and learning new things, currently (hands-on) learning more about metal and wire work.


Get a playlist! Standalone player

Nightmare Before Christmas, Stardust, a few others.

"Tigana", "Lions of Al Rassan" and "Song for Arbonne" by Guy Gavriel Kay; "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett (a decade before Oprah 'discovered' it) ; most of the works of Mercedes Lackey, Raymond Feist and many new fantasy writers. Ok, ok so I have a lot of favorites!

  • What does this Tea Party sign say to you?

    But if you're insinuating that that was a common theme at the tea parties you're simply wrong... way off base and race baiting yourself.     (more)

  • Do Right Wing Nuts Know what Teabagging is?

    +5 raves Troll! What it comes down to basically is this... there are those that don't care enough. ... Troll!

    What it comes down to basically is this... there are those that don't care enough. or *know* enough, to think past the latest juvenile giggle or even beyond creating the next sad troll poll. Then there are those that do understand the *juvenile* meaning but actually are intelligent enough and informed enough to understand history... and willing to do something about their informed opinions.

    Those are also the ones that are intelligent enough not to bother feeling sorry for sad losers like you.

And sometimes those of us in the middle get it from everywhere! =) As far as blocking to stop someone from responding in a legitimate poll/thread (real discussion as opposed to troll polls) to me that makes no sense. Well actually it makes little sense in any case.

    I have 3 perma-blocks that are almost a year old and will never come off. Occasionally I'll block someone that is really obnoxious/insulting and is doing the 'comment-block-unblock-comment and block again' crap. Silly stuff like that. After a day or two I unblock them and likely we've both forgotten all about each other by then!

    troops teachers program beats william ayers decide teaches children

    Troops to Teachers is a U.S. Department of Education and Department of Defense program that helps eligible military personnel begin a new career as teachers in public schools where their skills, knowledge and experience are most needed.

    "The sense of heightened responsibility and duty to a cause greater than themselves that veterans were taught in the discipline and code of conduct of the armed forces make many of them excellent candidates to impart those virtues to our children, and help them see the value of learning as a means to self-improvement and much nobler ends," he said, according to prepared remarks provided by his campaign. "There is no reason on earth that this great country should not possess the best education system in the world. We have let fear of uncertainty, and a view that education's primary purpose is to protect jobs for teachers and administrators degrade our sense of the possible in America. There is no excuse for it.

    "Every child should be blessed with a teacher like I had, and to learn at institutions with high academic standards and codes of conduct that reinforce the values their parents try to impart to them," McCain said. "Many students do have that opportunity. But too many do not. And government should be concerned with their fate." -- Sen. John McCain     (more)

The demands for apologies and consequences? All I've read on left-loon blogs is that she's not 'one of us' and doesn't speak for Democrats. Not one freaking word about her racist and sexist rant.

    If this had been a conservative commentator, or even a right-wing comedian/performer (though I don't consider Bernhard either), all hell would break loose. If a conservative went on a rant like this about Michelle or some other Democrat the left would be SCREAMING for BLOOD.

    Can you imagine if Ann Coulter called Michelle a sl*t or a b*tch or said that she would be gang raped in LA? How about if she said that 'big black brothers' would gang-rape Democrat Governor Kathleen Sebilius???

    So where the hell is their outrage now. F*cking hypocrites.
