had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.
Watt's Gnus (18+) On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason. #1439092 by Kåre เลียม Enga
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.
Lots of things checked . That's good, right? Or did you just list those checked? Doesn't matter. Sounds like reasonably good trip. Relax now and recover.
At least the Lions made it forward. The first time since 1991.
It was a winter 80 here with cool shadows. Started with rain by the shore that washed out to sea. The sun tried to dodge the clouds all day, but it was a losing battle. Did flash green as it ducked goodbye heading your way.
SandraLynn You capture the purpose of this blog. Balance is elusive for me. If I'm depressed I can see my accomplishments. If I'm smug I can see the pain. If I think I haven't lived... I must admit that I once was alive.
Ah, this is life, the mundane mixed with moments of wonder. We need to eat so ,we think about it, prepare for it, do it. We need to socialize so, we seek it out wherever we can find it. Sometimes, we need to wander without any goals or purpose. We observe. We marvel. We breathe. Not everything requires scheduling.
I find it sad that Christians don't follow Christ's teachings more than what they do. Of course, that could be said of most religious people.
I do want to write an essay to that affect but posting it here poses some issues until I can find the right words and correct approach. Some folks are quite dogmatic; blessedly, few have a god complex.
What do Christian's mean by "Merry Christmas"? Is it merely a giddiness borne of drunken joy? Is it based on the fullfilment of OT prophecy with the birth of a baby boy? What about Christ's mission... eucharist? Pentacost?
In the afterglow of Christ's presence and announcements communities (later organised as churches) were founded through an agreement on His life depicted in the gospels and expanded on in the letters sent to the early communitites by Paul, James, Priscilla and others. Paul exhorted belief as a basis rather than adherance to laws; James stated that beliefs needed to be put into action to bear fruit; and Priscilla's letter to the Hebrews assured the early community that they would accomplish this through faith and hope.
Yet, the Light of Christ seems to have been dimmed by the actions of the believers who through centuries have ossified into a dogmatic community willing to follow leaders with a god complex.
Any message of love and healing became muddied with actions of war and hatred.
Sadly, a community of true believers can turn its dogma into a weapon against others; and, although Christians may not appreciate me mentioning this on Christmas, a mere greeting with "Merry Christmas" devoid of love feels like a sledge hammer.
So what do YOU mean, as an individual, when you greet others this way?
