Is God a Man?
by John Sammon

Is God a man? Look at the depiction of God in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. He sure looks male, with powerful muscles and a white beard sitting on a cloud. When Michelangelo painted this masterpiece in the 16 th century, it was in an almost completely male-dominated world. Women were hidden away for reproduction and cooking/cleaning. And granted...

President Obama signed the Appropriations Bill that reinstates horse slaughter in USA
by The Old Gray Mare

Horse slaughter is now legal again, within the borders of the United States. President Obama lifted the several years’ ban when he signed horsemeat processing for human consumption back into law on November 18, 2011.

When the Truth Does Not Set You Free
by Nancy Daniels

I love the Geico commercial in which Mary Todd Lincoln asks Abe if her dress makes her backside look big. After several long moments in which he silently debates his response, he says, “perhaps a…” and then makes a gesture with his thumb and index finger indicating a wee bit. The truth may have been the correct answer but it definitely would not have... (posted by Nancy 12 days 11 hours ago.)

It's time to go where the weather is easy, the water refreshing and the sunshine a rejuvenation. Boat Drinks are... (posted by William 21 days 7 hours ago.)

Overhearing a Revolutionary Plot
by Christofer French

I scooched over to her there under the old gnarly tree at the end of an old stony street. She giggled. She put the wine skin up to her pretty mouth and opened up for a generous swallow. She pulled the skin away and I kissed her a big one. The wine mingled in our mouths. Then I finished off my kiss exploring her eyes and forehead in a searching kind of...

How AAA Can Save Money
by Terry Mitchell

I recently received the bill for my annual membership dues from AAA. Once again, they have gone up. Of course, that’s something I should have come to expect, as they have hit me with a rate increase almost every year since I first joined that automobile club in 1983. But it made me angry anyway. In the nearly 29 years I have been a member, my dues have more than doubled. And... (posted by Terry 26 days 6 hours ago.)

What's Wrong With The Self Development Industry?
by Neil Killion

We're not going to feature any one single life in this post, rather we'll look at what's good and bad about the Self Development industry and how it compares to 'Life Cycles'. I read estimates of the annual value of this industry as being around $10 billion, so there is no doubt it is big business. There are undoubtedly many sincere and professionally...
