What's With Nipples, Anyway?
A wonderful lady, owner of a French lingerie shop, once told me that all women should wear a bra with enough padding to keep her nipples from poking out and greeting the world. She said, "It's nobody's business how cold you are, and it's crass to have your nipples poking out at innocent passersby."...

They are smaller than the other bearded iris, and they have an intense aroma, sometimes overpowering....

About Homosexuality ...and About Christian Evangelizing
It's true that some Christians are perfectly nasty to homosexual individuals. It's also true that some people (and I don't know their religious affiliation) have beaten, tortured, murdered, and otherwise abused homosexuals because of their sexual proclivities. It is equally true that some...

Learning From Pain
I've had a lot of pain in my life---physical, emotional, mental/pschyological, and spiritual---so you'd think I'd pretty much have a handle on what pain is, does, and effects in a person. But a while back I went through an experience that taught me a lot about physical pain that I didn't already...

Moral and Ethical Relativism---Is It Working?
Here's a thought for ya. Back when Mr. Clinton was running for office and we kept hearing about things dredged up from his past like the Gennifer Flowers incident, and the Paula Jones incident, the rallying cry of Mr. Clinton's supporters was "character doesn't matter," that only ability and track...

What Is Ice Water?
There is a trend in restaurants that is getting on my last nerve. I suppose it's quite petty, but it's enough to wreck my dining out experience. All the fern bars and upscale places are getting these new water purification systems that filter and chill the water. Great thing, in my opinion. Cold...
