News du jour Posted on March 30, 2008 By pamela Once again, I’m thinking that the Pacific Northwest missed Al Gore’s ‘global warming’ memo — totally missed the memo. I’m thinking that those of us who were driving in white-out snow last night on I-90 really wondered aloud: global warming? what global warming? Seems Mr. Gore has a new plan…… Read more
Happy Birthday, Mr. Rogers Posted on March 20, 2008 By pamela And thanks, for the memories. Today would’ve been Mister Rogers’ 80th birthday. I didn’t grow up watching much television at all and so, not even Mister Rogers very often, and our children didn’t watch television and I don’t think our grandchildren watch ‘reruns’ of Mister Rogers. But I saw the… Read more
The Marketing of Evil and ignorant labels Posted on March 18, 2008 By pamela Every now and then a case comes along that punctuates the reality of ‘the marketing of evil.’ Though it’s been awhile since I read the book by David Kupelian, The Marketing of Evil, I’ve not forgotten the content nor has the impact of the book diminished – it’s interesting how… Read more

About Homeschooling and these days… Posted on March 10, 2008 By pamela Written Friday, March 7, 2008. This has been quite a Newsy Week!

It’s always amazing to me that when “liberal beliefs” or a liberal position… Read more
Homeschooling Posted on March 7, 2008 By pamela As California goes, so goes the nation. ASAP: Go to the HSLDA site http://hslda.org where you can sign the ‘depublishing’ petition against a lower court ruling that could essentially outlaw homeschooling and/or have incredible implications against parents, homeschoolers and, ultimately, homeschooling in California. HSLDA 540-338-5600 Focus on the Family –… Read more
the hidden benefits of natural occurances Posted on February 16, 2008 By pamela What do you say… Obama’s campaign rallies have turned into healing services? O, I understand the heat, the long wait and the extremely crowded venues. That’s not what I’m talking about… I’m simply observing the emotional connection created when there is a ‘medical situation’ and crowds are unified by hope… Read more
Reason numer 777 to Homeschool Posted on October 16, 2007 By pamela I’ve read a bit more about SB777 since I commented on it a couple of days ago. And surely, since I received a strong negative comment here (which I sincerely appreciated, btw). And I’ve had more time to mull over the potential consequences or outworkings of the bill/law.

there ought to be a law… on indecent exposure Posted on August 13, 2007 By pamela And now there is. And I’d hazard to guess that there are “indecent exposure” laws on the books in many states already… maybe many laws and on the books for many, many years.
