The Day After Tomorrow

(This movie is being posted in here because this film might be available on DVD or in other formats. It originally appeared on Epinions.com.) Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) wants the government to know that based on prior climatic patterns, we're due for global warming then refreezing. When? Maybe in 100 years, maybe in 1,000 years. It's difficult to tell. Well, the warmup/refreeze happens NOW. The government ignores what's happening until most of America is destroyed by what look for all the world... Sign in to see full entry.

In one of her blogs, Editormum talked about needing to earn a certain amount of money off her blogs. I can relate to that, because I'm in very similar straits right now. I've earned enough to cash out this month, but that's about it, and I'd like to see if I can earn $25 this month. (If not, I'd like to try to reach that goal in October 2006.) I wonder how people like Ariala and Chris2303 manage to do it every month? I'm not into spamming others to get them to join up so I can get the referral... Sign in to see full entry.

The Antichrist first came in 2004

(This entry was first posted in Potpourri on February 18, 2004. I'm putting it in here because I had earnings of $6.66 one day last month, and it turns out that this wasn't the first time this happened to me.) I noticed on my Member Profile this morning (2/18/2004) that I have made (as of 2/17/2004) exactly $66.66 in the thirteen months I had been a Blogit member. Had I made an effort to reach this figure, I would not have gotten there. (At the time, I was lucky to be making 30¢ per day.) For... Sign in to see full entry.

Martha Stewart

I'd originally written a modified version of this entry when Stewart was first declared guilty, for essentially doing insider trading; she had sold her stocks as soon as she found out from Imclone officials that a new drug they'd just submitted for FDA approval would not be approved by that agency for sale by prescription. I am in the camp that seems to believe that Stewart got what she deserved when she was declared guilty. People like her tend to believe that they are above the law, even when...

Independence Day musings (as of 7/5/2004)

Since July 5 was the official federal holiday in 2004, I decided on that date to take the time to write some of my thoughts out. Normally, Independence Day is my favorite holiday. I love true freedom - the ability to associate with whomever I wish, the ability to worship as I choose to (or not, if you're atheist), and so forth. But the Abu Ghraib prison scandal (a news story breaking at the time) made me rethink my own attitudes as an American. You see, I thought we were immune from the kind of...

Some further thoughts

(It might help readers to know that I wrote this post while in the grip of a depressive episode. I will leave it basically "as is," with only minor copyediting and other corrections.) Editormum's recent comment on one of my posts to this blog has been more beneficial than she realizes. (I link to her Member Profile in my blogs; just take a look on the side of this blog.) I asked myself recently who I would be without the problems I still have trouble talking about. It's simple. I'd be entering... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad news on the doorstep

I just found out today that someone I'd considered a friend has suddenly had the rug pulled out from under her. She's been arrested for writing bad checks, and her animals had to either be euthanized or seized by animal-welfare groups. This isn't the first time she's had trouble, but I feel things are finally looking up for her. The theory is that she is what is known as an animal collector - someone who adopts tons of animals he or she is unable to care for for one reason or another. Kudos go... Sign in to see full entry.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

I was reading a two-year-old post by Ariala in her blog Random Acts of Kindness just a few minutes ago, and in that post, she talks (without realizing she is doing so) about an important phrase in the Serenity Prayer. This prayer is recited routinely at 12-step meetings; one prays for "the courage to change the things I can," acceptance of things one cannot change, and "the wisdom to know the difference." Ariala's emphasis was on "the wisdom to know the difference." She was basically saying that... Sign in to see full entry.

Security on cargo jets? What's that?

Editormum wrote in her blog Editor's Oddments yesterday about her memories of 9/11/2001. At the time, she worked for a company that shipped goods by air, which meant that she knew a lot of pilots personally. One thing really stood out for me in her posts. All the focus, then as well as now, was (and is) on passenger planes. In fact, I wrote the following post not too long after I joined Blogit/The Blogging Network: If you've been paying attention to the news of late, you know that someone... Sign in to see full entry.

I've read everything she's ever written

(Apparently, this blog entry was posted on Epinions.com at one time; I'd forgotten entirely that I'd written it. I moved it over from Potpourri.) Although Constance Cumbey is a better speaker and TV personality than writer, the difference between her writing and speaking ability is so small as to be invisible to the average reader. I remember reading The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow in the early 1980's, and the information provided in it "jibed" - it made sense immediately. Admittedly, I have... Sign in to see full entry.
