Magical blog with entries about my life

That's me and my dad when I was about six years old. That was in June, and I remember I was fascinated by his shiny wristwatch, and I loved it so much, and my dad tried to teach me how to tell time but I was a slow study. The concept of breaking a whole big day into tiny hours and seconds and so on was beyond my already crazy six-year-old mind.

In my bio I joke about knitting hats that don’t fit anyone. You may have thought I was joking; I was not.

Below is photographic evidence (Exhibit A) of two (2) hats I knitted last year. These hats are known as “Goldilocks Hats.”

When I refer to my divorce as the "almost fatal yet intensely painful and horrible illness I weathered during 2004-2005," I am not kidding. It's been hell on the old bones.

For one thing there was the smoking. The incessant, ever-present smoking. At the end, I was up to a pack or more a day, and Peter Jennings may very well have saved my life. I quit smoking because of that man, and I love him more than ever. Which is kinda creepy in a necro-crush sort of way.

Note to all signs:
That stupendous planetary behemoth named Saturn is finally FINALLY moving out of Cancer on July 16. The big planets way out there in our solar system -- like Saturn and Jupiter and Neptune -- are the Large Marge elements of the zodiac. They come into your house, stay way too fucking long, eat you out of house and home and heart, and teach you all these life lessons you were sure you could live without thankyouverymuch. Even signs not directly in Saturn's path will feel the change at the end of the month. Except, uh, Leo? Hope you made up the guest room, because Saturn is moving into your house. So long and thanks for all the memories, Saturn! Enjoy Leo! See ya, wouldn't want to be ya!

Multiple Choice #1: Is there TOO MUCH crazy?

So, my friend Jane* and I have been discussing The Power of Intention, although not the book "The Power of Intention" but more the general concept of using you mind to will things into being. Some people call this "prayer" or "meditation" or sometimes "voodoo."

I have done a little of everything to lose weight. I just never stick with it. I have done the vinegar thing and need to get back to it. You will lose weight, but even better, you just feel better. More energy, cleaner, happier. I actually buy Braggs (I think that it the brand) organic apple cider vinegar. It has the “mother lode” in it, which is the bits of apple. The apple cider vinegar you buy in the store has been strained and they say the organic is better. I even have a book written by the Braggs on all the uses for the stuff.
BTW, apple cider vinegar should be used for the body, not white vinegar. It isn’t as good for you, but white is wonderful for cleaning just about anything.

You girls are a riot. I have my fav vibe in the center console of my car… makes the commute to and from work sooooo much better.
;) And the occasional trucker gets a kick out of it too.

Where would a woman go if she had exhibitionist tendances and wanted to get naked and let strangers fondle her. Me, being me, I went to the font of all answers and useful sex-oriented information, Cragislist*.

Needless to say, when you post something like, “Where would a woman go to get naked and let strangers fondle her?” you get a lot of really….interesting replies. Take a look.

Firstly, I hope you’re not reading that as a denouncement of radical feminism – I identify as a radical feminist and know many who are not like this. It wasn’t a dig at radical feminism as much as an expression of my disappointment/surprise that some radical feminists see this as a feminist viewpoint.

Not all radical feminists feel this way of course, but I recall reading in a thread in a closed radical feminist forum something along the lines that women shouldn’t be raising boys, that all mothers of boys/men have “Not-My-Nigel” syndrome, and that we should be leaving it to men to raise boys and concentrate all our energy on female children.

John Holt’s “Escape from Childhood.” I haven’t read the book yet, but there is a very good review of it which I think everyone should read.

Especially consider (from a page linked to in the review):
