Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I really enjoyed this. It describes how I feel so many days...
and the wonder is, there is a party just waiting to happen.

It's been an unusual winter. Last week I'd heard we already were 26 inches of snowfall over the average for the entire season. Everyone just wants it to stop, but alas! this morning more snow. I really felt bad until I saw how many problems this storm is causing in areas south of us and I just had t...

I'm Anniefay. I haven't been around for a long time but I missed my friends here and found a day I wanted to just check in and found myself happily browsing through the posts. It's good to see you all again. For all those I haven't met yet, Hi! It's great making your acquaintance. I used to write so...

I am in my 60s and I have never really felt my actual age. When I was a kid I thought myself extremely mature for my years; now I know I shall forever remain young at heart, looking at the "elderly" and being thankful I'm not that old when, in fact, they probably are my peers. On some days I'm mysti...

This is a great question, by the way! And to just get it out of the way, HI! you son-of-a-gun... good to see your user name. OK, now down to business. "Do we...as a species devalue death from man made carnage." Well historically, I'd say, man not only devalues death from his carnage but also gloats ...

I am one of those people who have romanticized kibbutz life. It came from reading a book (I think Exodus) as a teen. I wanted so much to be Jewish, migrate to Israel and live in a kibbutz. Alas, I am not Jewish and did not migrate nor ever had an opportunity to just visit there, exept through my rea...

Thanks for the story, Sooz. I always love reading about your family. I am happy to hear your father is doing so well and am checking out his blog. And me, I have no problem believing in angels, I've seen their handiwork too many times. Everything that looks magical may not be, but that doesn't make ...

breakfast usually finds my feet parked under our own table. I have low blood sugar and breakfast has to inlcude protein, the easist fix, being eggs. So daily it is usually 2 eggs over hard (I got tired of runny eggs) and whole wheat toast. On Saturdays I usually go out to breakfast with my mom. She ...

i have 2 turntables and a microphone.

oh, wait! no i don't.

uh, nevermind.

i didn't vote. i hate putting my email address into a public format. i get enough junk as it is now! I use 2 addresses. One goes into those spots where you can't order something off the internet or get the info you want without giving out your email addy... well, if i must give you one i will. That ...

a wash day that concludes with all socks present and accounted for is a day of celebration. I hope you did just that. I believe "carry on" is a piece of luggage you can haul with you onto the airplane... I believe you must mean carrion. this being a scavenger, and since it appears you have managed t...

well, michigan is a battleground state, and we have politicians coming out our ears. I have signed up to work as an election official tormorrow... wheeeeee!!!! WAIT! not whee. I have to be there at 6:30 in the morning and stay until very, very, very late at night... probably midnight or later. After...

ahhh... i fear it is impossible for me to not jump on my soap box and begin raising my arms and yelling when someone speaks negatively about my Arabic friends. For some reason writing about them yesterday left me pumped full of adrenaline and unable to sleep. The quiet of house during the night seem...

I spent 16 years of my life living among those who held to Islam. I learned a great deal about them and even more about myself during this time. I was not practicing my faith then (being greatly angered with God and trying to take it out on Him by being distant), but I still knew the things I had be...

here! here!

here's a happy b-day from me Sooz!
you marvelous lady you!

have the greatest of days.... smiles to you today and everyday for the cheer and goodness you shed about you.
