I realize that with some of the recent crap, some people may find my post about reconciliations hypocritical. I’m a very passionate person. I’m outspoken, and I prefer to tell someone exactly what I think instead of playing any games. Nobody has to wonder where they stand with me if we interact at all. I also […]
Ten Days of Repentance
The following is borrowed from several lovely people, who originally got it from xiphias. I’m not Jewish, but have permission from xiphias to engage in cultural appropriation in this instance. “It’s the Ten Days of Repentance, the period of time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when we go into overdrive to try to repair […]
Responses to the Ex-Wife
I’ve removed the two posts I made on 9/26 that quoted excerpts from material that Sam’s ex-wife left on an old hard drive of hers. She contacted LJ abuse and stated that she owned the copyright to those materials, acknowledging that they were indeed her words. That’s a legitimate reason not to use the actual […]
To Sam’s Ex-Wife

Today’s First Real Post About My Life!
Well, okay, y’all probably found the other stuff more interesting. I’m still having lots of muscle spasms and pain and numbness, which is making it difficult to type accurately.

Nathaniel Branden on Happiness
noelfigart posted this to a community earlier. I was just going to post a link. Then I was just going to add a couple of excerpted lines. I kept finding more lines that needed to be there, though, so finally, I chose to post the whole damned thing and highlight a few bits. I’ll cut-tag […]

No surprises here for me: Even health professionals who treat obesity are biased against overweight patients From Yale University: New Haven, Conn. — Obesity specialists from physicians and researchers to pharmacologists and psychologists, showed significant anti-fat bias according to a recent Yale study. “The stigma of obesity is so strong that even those most knowledgeable about the […]
2004 Presidential Candidates
Following ideageek’s lead, I used SelectSmart to check on how my views and the various presidential candidates match up. I wasn’t terribly surprised: 1. Libertarian Candidate (100%) Click here for info 2. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT — Democrat (68%) Click here for info There were others, of course, but I didn’t bother to copy them all down.
