- 08:16 OK, I totally understand why you keep putting 2 spaces between sentences. But why are you randomly putting 2 spaces between words?! #
- 15:09 That's it--no one else gets to enter anything into my spreadsheet! Onyl it's not really my spreadsheet... #
- 15:09 I still need a quart jar of peeled garlic. #
- 09:00 was just told that someone is confident that I'll keep things in confidence--now I wonder what secrets I've seen/heard lately #
- 12:55 @brauhze Lovely! No blooms yet here... #
- 13:02 @GOOD the best part about my neighborhood is the little acts of kindness by neighbors, e.g., taking up our garbage can before we come home #
- 13:03 snow in the forecast AGAIN... dang, I was going to go to Costco... #
- 08:19 Waiting to be able to clock in... I have officially Worked Too Much in this period. #
- 08:20 I can witness the unfairness, but I'm not sure what I can do about it. #
- 13:04 @biancaphillips I want to be there, and I don't even drink regular beer... #
We've got a new study group and coven website courtesy of a lady I met through my Yahoo group. (See www.risingoaks.com--it's still not exactly what we want, but it's strictly a spare-time project, and I'm getting the services of a talented professional for free, so I'm not complaining.) There's even a feed to this blog--or wait, is it just a feed? It shows all the text, instead of being a blurb and a link like I'm used to for feeds. There's probably a better term for it... or maybe it's just a type of feed I haven't seen as often... anyway, that thing... It's nice, and it means I don't have to create yet another profile, or start a new blog, or learn yet another new interface.But only my public posts show.
So, now I am going to be editing some of my archived religious stuff show that it shows up, and posting things as public that in the past would have been filtered for reading by friends who were likely to be interested. To my Christian/atheist/agnostic/other friends who will find all that stuff boring or annoying: sorry. I will never know if you skip reading a certain post. I'll try to remember to use obvious subjects and tags.
Hopefully, though, I will blog more. We'll see.

Man who walked into Burning Man fire loses lawsuit

This reminds me of
giolabride's repeated story of Gypsyjane's song, "Is that a real fire?" and how it was inspired by actual remarks by idiots visiting a re-enactment encampment. A particular bozo who asked the above question had a child, which is depressing on several levels, and of course there would be the very real concern that this person would inadequately supervise the offspring, and the child would be badly hurt and/or the parent would sue.
Idiots and lawsuits are among the many things that worry me about going out into the internet world to find circle participants. I have always insisted before on meeting and talking a few times before doing ritual with someone and/or inviting them to my home; it's like when I was doing internet dating, and I insisted on meetings in a public place before going to my house or doing anything sexual (by which I don't mean PIV, I mean starting with kissing and caresses of erogenous zones.) Outer-court-style ritual is sort of like mild necking; it's not as intimate nor as dangerous as some other activity, but it has its rewards, it's nice to do it for a while before going further, and there are still a few dangers.

Have you ever served on a jury? If yes, then what was the case and what was the verdict?
I have served on a jury. It was a police corruption case, and the verdict was guilty on several of the counts. It took a week, and the jury was frustrated because we felt he was guilty of several things that he wasn't being accused of, including sexual harassment.

I particularly like, "This is not a consumer event."
