Facebook is more civil than the Blab, or maybe I'm just more civil on FB than I am here.

Fair enough on the negativity (and now I know why you don't respond to the substance). I think "me too"...

No, Hayduke, your response to everything is always negative first, unless it was your idea. It's positively history making when you think anybody has a good idea about anything. Truthfully speaking,...

And I believe you would accomplish so much more toward your argument if you weren't so damned negative and angry.

I've had a couple of conversations in the last few days about how our attitudes...

This church would have a Vestry, a group of members elected to take car of church business. They are elected to staggered terms, most likely of three years, at the annual meeting. I don't know when...

Hayduke, do you ever have anything nice to say about anything?

There are lots of urban churches that do good. You know first hand of one. B-Boy has mentioned one. I'll throw-out St. James...

Excellent story. And I have it from a reliable source that it was originally 16,000 words, but got cut to 10,000 for publication.

What the hell is the purpose of putting cops in quotes? They were cops, they were not pretend cops. Were you making fun of them? As was the point was made elsewhere, they were going after dangerous...

I've been thinking about this. I read all the time for years and years and years. The last 10-15 years not so much. As a child my grandmother once told me that a tornado could blow through the house...

I walked in on a burglar in my home, and was hit on the head with a piece of marble. I moved from the apartment, but I had already been planning to move, I still had to face coming home every day....

My apologies. I realize that there is a difference between your professional bums and the homeless. I also know that there are many who blame the panhandling on the homeless. I was just thinking...

I was downtown on Saturday for the first time in quite a while. It was a beautiful day. I felt safe and enjoyed the visit with my friend, which included lunch from the Tomato Head. I had the Kepner...

That "no matter how many obstacles get thrown in your path" part hit me hard just know. I've had some major obstacles the last couple of years, and have been really have to look at what I want to do...

Damn, SnM. You had me there for a second. It would make so much sense though. But then there's nothing about these folks that makes any damn sense.

You should have a telephone conversation with TH. The subtleties are sublime.

Then there's the school district site.

I used to keep a piece of paper with her name on it posted above my desk as inspiration.

Poisoinwood Bible is my favorite, but I've never read anything by her that I didn't like. I have a friend...

Great Blab Collective, I'm looking to store maybe two rooms worth of furniture and an one-bedroom apartment's worth of boxes for about a month, give or take. I'd like to do this on the cheap without...

Link doesn't work

As I noted on KnoxViews, the Gannett reporter who wrote the story that Humphrey relayed is on old and dear friend and colleague of mine. He's written a couple of things about Corker since taking this...

I heard about it in Civics class.

I would echo several things here and add Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 as one of my weaknesses. Others of his are good but the No. 2 is best.

And while I don't much care for violin, I love...

I haven't seen Argo yet. However, I think I have to agree with Hilde re those of us who lived through that time period. I well remember when Nightline was first a special to deal with the hostage...

On top of the general aging forgetfulness, one of the medications that I take to keep me street sane causes problems with word retrieval. It's embarrassing, but I've learned to just ask the person...

I love my Appalachain family and their strange sayings.

They go to the grocery. And the have pokes instead of bags. And they cook a mess of beans on the stove eye. They are peaked and they have...

My goddaughter is one of those young Brooklyn hipsters. But she's a broke one not a moneyed one. She's loving Brooklyn, and I can name about 20 Arkansas kids her age who are there now soaking it in,...
