Last week my husband and I were fortunate enough to attend Bill Nye’s lecture at Drake University in Des Moines. Bill Nye is best known as the host of the 90’s kids show Bill Nye the Science Guy, but there is way more to him than that. He is the CEO of the Planetary Society. He has taught at Cornell… Read more »
Several weeks ago actress Lena Dunham made headlines when she announced she would be taking some time out of the spotlight to get treatment for her endometriosis. She was widely praised for being so open about a condition that some folks still find hard to discuss in public. I’m sure she didn’t, but if Lena had decided to read… Read more »
Conspiracy theories are everywhere. Some (who really shot JFK??) have been around for decades and may never be totally solved. Some are brand new (did someone kill Justice Scalia?). Some make a little bit of sense (did Marilyn Monroe REALLY commit suicide?) and some, well, don’t (there are half alien half human beings all around us!). I don’t mind… Read more »

I do not share this opinion and I’m going to explain why. Please note that all of this information about the Duggars and their… Read more »
One of the only good things I’ve found so far about getting older is that the number of things that really piss me off has gone down exponentially. It takes a lot more to get me fired up now that it did 20 or even 5 years ago. Along with the proper medication I like to think I’m mellowing with… Read more »
In previous posts I’ve spoken in defense of Christianity, Conservatives, and men in general. I still believe everything I said in those posts- I still consider myself a Christian and a political moderate and I still love men. That being said, the following are facts that, in the year 2015, NO ONE, regardless of gender, religion, or political affiliation should… Read more »
Happy 2015! I’m not one for making resolutions or the like in January, but good luck to you if you are of that nature. I AM however hoping to become a little more regular of a blogger again this year, in spite of the fact that I waited until the 17th day to even log in to the darn thing!… Read more »
