Part of me really hates doing blogs about the Bible. I have friends who are not Christians and I know I’m leaving them on the side of the road on these. I am somewhat comforted by the Old Testament being a sacred text for folks of the Jewish and Muslim faiths as well as the Christians do. Also, I don’t… Read more »
I will be the first to admit that I am not the least bit objective when it comes to Bon Jovi. I have been a HUGE fan since I was a teen. And while no one believes me, I actually fell in love with the music first- keep in mind in the mid 80s there was no internet! That being… Read more »
Since the pandemic started there have been all kinds of calls for “freedom”. Freedom to not wear a mask. Freedom to not get vaccinated. Freedom to thumb your nose at any and all public safety measures that cause even the tiniest bit of inconvenience. Some of them went so far as to bust out the “My Body, My Choice” line. … Read more »
There is a disturbing trend going on that needs to be stopped. Good food everywhere is being ruined by the presence of one goopy, unpleasant addition. I’m talking about ranch dressing. It’s bad enough that people put that awful substance on actual salads, but in recent times it’s been spotted all over the food spectrum. I have no idea why… Read more »
With gas prices going up drastically since Russia invaded Ukraine there have been a deluge of memes calling for reopening of the Keystone pipeline. These memes were designed by morons and I’m going to tell you why. #1 The pipeline was never completed. Only around 8 to 10% of the XL extension had been built. It was years away from… Read more »

If you do choose to observe, know that I am just the messenger and I take NO responsibility for any trips to HR or the unemployment line you find yourself taking as a result of your celebration. Also, if you choose to observe, you might want to make tomorrow Buy… Read more »
Jewelry. What every woman wants. Right? Of course not. But that’s what you’d think if you have been watching TV, picked up a newspaper or magazine, or even read a billboard or two while driving down the road. To be perfectly clear, I have nothing against jewelry. I own quite a bit, even though I don’t wear much of it… Read more »
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again- the problem with most conspiracy theories is overconfidence in the ability of the group in question. 9 times out of 10 that group is the government in some form. I’ve already written about why the “we never went to the moon” theory is full of holes here https://beckypalmer.me/fly-me-to-the-moon/ and I’ve… Read more »
Like most of the rest of you I have a few folks on my list that are difficult to shop for. Because of this I’ve been reading a lot of gift guides online. And most of them are ridiculous. I found two specifically called “great gifts for brothers in law”. One had nothing on it under $100. Who is spending… Read more »
A local school board recently voted to start the process to change their mascot. Currently it’s the Mohawks, so it’s certainly time. And of course, because that’s just how we are as a nation now, there is a small but vocal group who are angry about this. And just to add a layer of crazy to this, the Facebook group… Read more »
