  1. Death and Christmas

    by , 12-16-2018 at 01:51 AM (Barmy Blue's Bland Blog)
    Now there’s a title that seems like a deliberate cry for attention. Sorry couldn’t come up with anything better at the moment.
    I’m grappling with something and I figured rather than work it out on my own I’d see if people I’ve never met in my life might want to chip in, or just skim through to get the jist of it and say nothing. That’s fine too. I don’t mind.

    So. There’s a funeral in a few days and I’m trying to work out if I should go or not.

    Facts Versus Myths

    Once again today, I encountered someone who was unwilling to accept facts as facts and opined that facts were opinions, and that their "facts" were opinions. This is the kind of thinking that states as fact that someone turned water into wine, or some other absurdity was actually done.

  5. Anonymous Harassment

    by , 11-23-2018 at 12:50 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
