Oooooooooooooooops, I forgot yesterday. I was thinking of a few bands who had a member invited who said no and went right into obscurity or left before the band got big. 1) Led Zeppelin - origially wanted Terry Reid to be lead vocalist and he decided the stay solo. 2) Crosby, Stills & Nash - invited John Sebastian to join before Neil Young, Sebastian said no. 3) Signe Anderson quit as lead vocalist with Jefferson Airplane and they replaced her with Grace Slick. -

Good morning, everyone! We're back from a short vacation with friends to the mountains of NC. It was a fun time driving the twisty mountain roads. Now it's back to reality of cutting grass, washing windows and putting in screens and putting out the porch furniture. Coming home to warmer weather than when we left is glorious. Happy Anniversary @Willow! I hope your family is feeling better @KymmieL - my wife and I shared a stomach virus several weeks ago that was horrid. Hang in there @Birdie, it will all work out!! Have a wonderful day, everyone! -

I think many Christians end up with a false dichotomy. If we didn't choose to be how we are, then something in our environment did it. Is going along with it a sin? Maybe. But if so, its one of those times where we mess something up no matter what we do. Part of the imperfect nature of this fallen world is that there are times where we'll sin no matter what we do. In a no-win scenario like that, we do the wisest thing possible with our free will. -

This is the crux of my anguish these many, many months (years!) and where I go back-and-forth with my own journey ... I was born a biological male. No denying that in my case. But I have a lot of internal feminine leanings and external ones, too. I prefer to wear women's clothes 100 percent of the time (if I could). I wish I had the female plumbing. I long for that badly sometimes. I don't know why or where that came from but no denying that either. I have started HRT because I like the idea of having a more feminine physical body and some of the "perks" that go with that. I just asked my doc to up my dose to the next level today! So the big question I ask myself is: am I knowingly disobeying God, who likes order and made humans male and female, by taking these steps? This is my wife's take on things. "You are sinning. You know God made you a male biologically. Yet you are willfully pursuing transition to being something God didn't intend you to be regardless of what you feel inside, what your preferences are, etc." I keep trying to tell her it's much more complex than that but sometimes I don't even know what I think... This ties up in knots and makes me angry and makes me feel stuck!!! I don't want to disobey my Creator and Savior and yet I have this strong, strong leaning toward the feminine in many ways (that keeps getting stronger and refuses to go away no matter how much I have tried to stuff it away!!) ... It feels like misery no matter which path I take - if I "give in" to the feminine, which I have been doing a lot the past 12 months or so, am I endangering my soul? Am I creating scandal? Yet the thought of putting the feminine aside feels, at times, like death too (or is it just me being self-centered and unwilling to bend the knee to my Creator who would ask me to give this up as a testament to my love for him... I don't know. I don't know. I don't know!! But sometimes I really really F***ing hate this quandary... -

We use a ton of Harbor Freight stuff here. They have pretty good warranty, too, I guess. GF beats all heck out of sockets and things, and if she takes them back they get replaced for free. Harbor Freight was junk 20 years ago, but its really good now. Craftsman used to be good 20 years ago, but now its junk (but they still want to charge made-in-the-usa prices). Dewalt is now Chinese also, when it used to be made in Germany. Older Dewalt tools are good, but GF got a really bad hand injury a few years ago from a Chinese Dewalt drill bit that shattered. Some of the name brands just aren't what they used to be. -

Honestly, all the numbers are monkey math. Doesn't matter who's in charge. Trump kept crowing about the damn stock market, which didn't make a difference to normal people. All the "job creation" is an illusion. They consider it job creation when they take good full time jobs, and split them in half to "make" two part-time or temp jobs. Not totally a Biden problem, as this has been going on for decades now. Things *began* to get better under Trump. A bit. Maybe 8 years would have been better, but it wouldn't have fixed it. Too much damage. To me, Trump is a case of "too little, too late." In my opinion, we need more - a true nationalist, with an aggressive and isolationist foreign policy. And we needed him 50 years ago. I want to see: High import tariffs, a currency backed by precious metals, no more "climate" stuff and repudiation of all "accords" or other agreements, elimination of excess government agencies like the FBI and EPA, and total seizure of foreign-owned assets on US soil - with sale and disbursement of profits to our citizens. And that would be a basic start. Instead of "sanctions" to interrupt the trade of nations we don't like, Congress should instead issue letters-of-marque as described in the Constitution. I'd like to see an alliance with Russia, and an end to nearly a century of useless conflict. Trump won't do any of those things. He's a sad, pale imitation of the leaders that founded our nation. -

Well I got some terrible news today. My therapist is a doctoral intern at the VA. Her internship is ending the end of July. Normally interns just continue with the VA after their degree is done. However, VA has a hiring freeze on. So, I am going to loose one of the best therapists I have ever had. One that actually cares about me. I do have a few months till she leaves, Thankfully. Other than that. my wife and youngest are both sick. Don't know if they got it worse that I had on Thurs/Friday. Or I am destine to get it too. I've got tools that range from cheapy flea market stuff all the way up to high grade, Mac and Snap-on. Most have lasted me for quite a long time. I am diligently trying to keep my happy arse out or the Snap-on truck when he comes every Thurs. So far, I have resisted. But the temptation is there. Kymmie
