I’ve noticed that most people who comment on news articles on-line are simply providing more proof that the stupidity of the human race should never be underestimated. Rather than joining their ranks and letting my wonderful insight get lost in the babble, I’m going to be making my comments here on my blog on occasion. Obviously I should do it more often so I don’t end up with so many stories like I have today.

Yearbook photos botched: Why would they even want all the heads to be the same size and have all the eyes at the same level? Heads come in all shapes and sizes. I’d hate to think that someone thought my head wasn’t good enough for my body. I like my head.
Woman’s dead body lies in flat for 35 years: Please, someone, anyone, check on me if you don’t hear from me before I’m dead for 35 years. Was there no one anywhere who wondered where she was? Did they never need to perform maintenance on her apartment? Did her neighbor never back-up the drain and flood her apartment?
Landlines vs. Cell Phones: I found the poll findings about income and education levels related to different phone types interesting. But I’m not sure what any of that has to do with National Health or the CDC.

Bat Injury: When I saw the title of this article I first thought the boy had been hit in the head with the bat. Nope. He was hit in the chest with a ball that was hit with the bat. The suffering of the family and boy is probably intense. But if you take their logic further, any bat, no matter the composition or who approved it, is unsafe. Because under any number of very random circumstances, any bat can cause extreme injury to a person. Not that I want to dismiss their pain, but I really do hope they lose this case.
United through stitches: I like any article about quilting. Quilting not only brings together different fabrics. It brings together people. I know the quilts I make are all made with love and I consider it a small part of me, my heart, that goes with each one to the person I give them to.
Classes spin out craftsman: I want to learn to do this. Add wood turning to the list of things I want to do some day. There was a station in Utah (either PBS or UEN) that used to show a wood-turning show on Sunday afternoons. I enjoyed watching it to see what he would make each week. It was a very relaxing show.
4 days, 3 guys, no shower and 48 states: I want to do that (except maybe not the no shower part). What was their route? Did they visit any state more than once? What a fun way to spend a long weekend!
Teacher truly “walks the walk”: I often wondered just how far I walked during a day when I was teaching. I paced that room a LOT.

Making their own limits in a spiritual partnership: It is very nice of them to spend that much time together, but I really don’t think it is necessary to do that. You can be one with your spouse without having to be no more than 15 feet apart. Sometimes feelings are better dealt with when you can take a time-out. A spiritual partnership does not require that kind of togetherness. It requires togetherness, that’s for sure, but anything taken to such an extreme cannot be a good thing. And while I have no experience in the matter (never having been married, yet), I do not think a married couple can be truly united without all forms of intimacy, spiritual, emotional, and even physical. They all work together. Physical intimacy does not mean there isn’t spirituality or purity. What they are doing is a philosophy of man trying to imitate an eternal truth.
Something Google doesn’t want you to see: If this is really the only secret that Google is hiding, when compared with some of the other things we are finding out about in corporate America, then I applaud them. Legos are cool!
I am an educator and PhD. I quilt, belly dance, run, read, and try to grow things. I am a Mormon. I am infertile. I am a daughter, sister, aunt, grand-daughter, friend, wife, and mom.
