Blogs

It has been a long time since I posted a discussion - I am not sure from where to begin. I have been away from NT for quite some time because the constant hate speech, crap slinging and shouting down the other side rather than trying to discuss anything became too annoying to endure. I discovered that those same attitudes, actions and processes existed "in the real world" and on other media...

I think I'm gonna try and post a blog entry each week at give my take on things.  I'm doing this for several reasons.  First, as a blog on NT, it's sacred.  Which means I can post what I want, and I can delete comments.  Blogs are sacred.  Moderation is not needed, nor desired. I will warn you, as a Submarine Sailor, my language is rather salty.  Be warned. Well, lets start with a few memes...

Beto O'Rourke is running for Senator in Texas-- challenging "Mr. Personality" himself--- incumbent Ted Cruz! As is his habit, Donald trump has tweeted a lot about Ted Cruz. So O' Rourke supporters have been using this brilliant approach to remind Texas voters about what Donald Trump has said about Cruz. (Trump has actually tweeted many more things about Cruz-- hopefully those other...

I, like many others, listened closely to Dr. Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Memories are not 100% accurate and cannot be considered reliable without some form of corroboration. Dr. Ford offers people at the gathering, her therapist's notes and spouse and friends told about the alleged incident in 2012. The people allegedly at the gathering do not recall the...

Nope.  Not dead.  Not yet anyway. But I will give an update on things here at the Tarleton Dog Run Ranch, home of the Big Cocks. For those of you following Penny and her fight with Breast Cancer, everything is fine.  She had a complete scan earlier this year, with no indication of new tumors or growth of old.  Her cancer markers are monitored on a monthly basis and have shown no signs of...

In trying to get the band back together, I decided to re-create SiNNERs and ButtHeads from the old place. I thought..."ya know...we need a group." And I learned a few things about group moderation from TiG when I helped him do some beta testing, so naturally I thought it would be a piece of cake. Not as easy as I thought. For one thing, I had to hunt around to find where I could create a...

My source used for this essay is Dr. Aye Chan's research at Japan's Kanda University of International Studies, in his review of British correspondence between the years 1947 and 1975. As well as his later original research papers and articles on this conflict. This is a very complicated subject, that has little if any historical context accompanying contemporary articles or commentary on the...

Where were you on 911? How has it effected your life?

Two article caught my attention recently. I look at things differently, or I try too at least. For some unexplained reason, Newton's first law. Inertia and Mass State of Motion Balanced and Unbalanced Forces immediately sprung to my mind. ( I blame my habitual use of the "devil weed" for this strange occurrence) Pakistan claims credit for cancellation of Dutch cartoon contest.  Imran...

Well, today I did something I didn't think I'd have the nerve to do: I deactivated my Facebook account. What made me do it, instead of allowing the full year to pass before re-thinking it, was all the pop-ups telling me who had posted what to where... they popped up while I was in email, while I was on a different web site, while I was playing freakin' Solitaire, for Pete's sake! There was no...

Everyone has a lifetime of humorous stories to tell.  Some weren't all that funny when they happened, but in retrospect....   That is what this blog is all about.  And without any further gilding of the lily, allow me to kick this off with the following: Weird Science My most embarrassing moment in high school occurred in the chemistry lab.  As in most institutional...
