Do As I Say, Not as I’ve Done: Trying Too Hard Is a Problem
Well, many of us hear that “Do as I say, not as I do” thing as children, and yes, it’s annoying. But Ms. Sanity has inadvertantly provided a fabulous example of things not to do, and why people say that “do as I say…” thing. It can be helpful when we learn from the mistakes [...]

Apologies for being missing; the workload has been rather heavy and I’ve been watching events far more closely due to the potential for real health care reform in this country. Unfortunately your Ms. S. is trying valiantly to stay sane watching the crazies come out in full force AGAINST said reform… generally in any permutation.
Occasionally [...]

Some Uplifting and Helpful, Sane, Links
In today’s busy world it seems that most of us are juggling a great deal. Work, family, friends, and very often in this economy—a side business or two. It can all get to be too much.
And of course our culture, unlike several others, doesn’t typically allow for the long term vacations that, say, many working [...]

It’s the Hypocrisy, Stupid.
The recent flap over SC Governor what-his-name (Mark Sanford) who apparently went  MIA so that he could spend a little quality time with the woman he was having an affair with– has me a little puzzled. Puzzled, that is,  in that the Republicans aren’t demanding his resignation. Though I suppose I respect him for not [...]

The Bankers are Not Your Friends
I don’t know that much about Senator Dick Durbin, (though I am glancing over his voting record as I write this) but I did run across this interesting little quote from him today.
Durbin is a Democratic Senator from IL, and apparently he said recently:
“And the banks – hard to believe in a time when we’re [...]

We The People…Make Your Priorities Heard
I’ve been interested in this relatively new website called “White House Two,” which is meant to give the man or woman on the street the opportunity to voice their priorities for the country to the White House and to their “fellow Americans.” Nearly 8,000 people have joined the site, including yours truly.
Not surprisingly, it’s questionable [...]

Helping You
A newly found (and newly admired) fellow blogger really sparked my imagination today. His name is Rajesh Setty and his blog is Life Beyond Code.
In it, among many other useful thoughts and ideas, I came upon his exhortation that we should all “Increase our capacity to help other people increase THEIR capacities.” In other [...]

Puritans need not apply
Look, I’m all for people having religious freedom, I really am. I’m all for people believing whatever they want. I am, however, more than a little tired of puritanical people making decisions about what other adults can see and hear, say on television.
For instance we happened to be up at about 12:30 the other night [...]

We Freak Out Over So Little
I saw a great comment on Twitter lately; having to do with the recent kerfluffle over Facebook’s (now reversed)change in their “Terms of Service,” where for perhaps a period of 24 hours it said something like “All your data are belong to us forever and always if you put it on Facebook.” Within hours, after [...]
