Feminist writer Jennifer Baumgardener has created a T-shirt that reads "I was raped" as part of multimedia rape awareness project. Baumgardener aims to force the taboo issue of rape into everyday conversation. Not surprisingly, the T-shirt is causing a fair amount controversy.--Buzzfeed.com

This t-shirt was created by the same woman who made one which said "I had an abortion."

She says it to create awareness...

What do you think?

Would you wear it?  Think its a good idea for...

I want to snaz up my desktop.  I'm looking at 3D Icons, stuff like that..

I see Stardock has an Icon package, is it enough since I don't really want to skin or anything?  Fairly computer retarded here.

Where's the best place for me to start?

Thanx

I was talking with a friend the other day about consequences.

One of the hardest things to accept as an adult is there are some things I can not change.  I will go so far as to say a good gage of someone's maturity and character is their willingness to accept some things that just are.

Most adults can accept a tornado for example.  We don't like the destructive force of it, but we understand it is part and parcel of the planet we inhabit.  We can build stronger homes, ce...

In September, Greenville Ohio, a ten year old boy started a fire in his family's duplex.



The fire killed his mom and little sister.  Not content with two lives, the fire leeched into the neighbors home and devoured the life of three little souls.  Their mom escaped.



The ten year old pyromaniac lost his step-dad to AIDS last summer.  There is no mention of his biological dad.



The single mother next door, who lost her three children, moved into the d...

For Sale.

Three bedroom one outhouse, tilting, all natural (green) landscaped home in a happening area.

Room for a garage in front, but not recommended since the last one was tore off by a drunk who thought it was a drive thru.

Quiet place to live, oh ok traffic can get crazy sometimes with squealing tires as people decide at the last second, "oh no I meant to go THAT way."  And you can hear the electricity hum from all the poles, but it don't do ya no harm.

In house enterta...

My little man has finally decided what he wants to be when he "grows up."

At first he couldn't decide between this and a dinosaur.  But looks like this won out.

So we took this picture this morning for posterity.



Watch out bad guys!

I couldn't sleep last night.  Or should that read "I couldn't sleep at ALL last night?"

Technically I slept, but it was the place my mind goes when between full dead limb sleep and wakefulness.

Nothing was on my mind.  I wasn't worried.  I just couldn't grasp the REM sleep I needed.  Probably the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I ate three hours before bed.

As is my way when not getting rejuvenating sleep, today things are running willy nilly in my head.  Maybe...

Tabbitha looked up from the laptop into the dark blue eyes of a man she could only describe as, yuuuuummy.  The sounds of the coffee house seemed to recede when she tuned her whole attention to the man before her.

Tall, yes he was definitely tall, at least six feet two inches.  Her neck hurt to stare up at him.

Levis.  Very few men looked bad in a pair of tight Levis, but some looked so scrumptious they rivaled the sticky doughy treats in the pastry case not five feet from w...

Gavin wants to know if he can shoot squirrels this summer in our yard with the BB Gun his grandad gave him on our trip to Mississippi this past summer.

hahaha

I told him squirrels are a little harder to shoot than a Styrofoam cup.

He thinks he's Wild Bill Hickock.



 

We are getting some serious snow fall right now.  The most we've gotten all season.

The weather channel says we are supposed to get between 13-15" by tomorrow afternoon. 

I woke up this morning, no snow.

Now there is almost three inches. 

Schools are supposed to get out 2 hours early.

They need to get the kids home now.  I went to the grocery store earlier and there was about an inch on the ground.  The roads were horrible.  I am cons...

 

Make reservations early, time and dates are MOBILE!

After watching Island Dog's excellent tutorial on Live Wire I decided to try it for more than just text.

When I try to use Live Writer and insert photos/videos/maps it gives me this message.

What am I doing wrong?

My picture host is Photobucket.

Here is the message I get...

I see LW has another JU stalker.  This one is going by the name Kurthy.

I understand people with strong opinions get haters on their blog.  But it seems to me LW attracts more than her fair share.

I've decided.....

 

I WANT A STALKER!

 

Think about it.  If you haven't been blog stalked, does that mean you're too boring?  Too vanilla to even be tasted?  That you aren't worth someone setting up an account, thinking of pithy and sometimes totally...

Hunter, my twelve year old, went for his yearly physical.  The Dr. said "he's started puberty."

We jokingly refer to him as our "pre-teen" but if he's in puberty, seems like he should already be a teenager.

Some things I've noticed about him in the last few months.... He likes to spend free time alone in his bedroom.  He has a computer, tv, all the toys, but he only games on the weekends.  It's not just that he likes to do it, but it seems like he really hates doing things w...

As I write this Obama is hosting a rally at the Wright State University Nutter Center about half a mile from my house.  It started at 6 pm and when I drove past at 4pm there was already a line wrapped around the building.  I was going to stop and take some pictures with my cell phone, but then figured everyone has seen a line before.

Obama was in Cincinnati last week.  So many people showed up, they turned away 5000 people at the door.  I imagine a lot of those people made...
