Ramblings of Silver Blue

Four Religious Truths in these difficult times are important for all of us of all faiths to recognize. 1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God’s chosen people. 2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. 3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian World. 4. Baptists do not [...]

Johnny & Carol, Tink, PoloRandy, Neil, Dawn, FencerScott, Picture Lady & Household Name, and Revog, all who helped make my brithday an extra special day.

The Razr is a bit more invovled than the LG phone I’ve had before (and the Nokia before it). I’m having to learn stuff all over again. Not that it’s a bad thing, but I’m glad I’m playing with it before it’s activated. This is a three-day week for me. I get to spend time [...]

LOL. Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me! It’s a beautiful day; the sun is out, the sky is BLUE. I was surprised when: Roxette Bunny™ surprised me with a card and a Cherished Teddy dressed like a bunny. Tink surprised me with my favourite pillow mist (Lavender Vanilla) from Bath & Body Works, [...]

Let’s spell some things out here, ok folks? 1. This blog is like my house. I’ve invited you in, but that doesn’t mean you have run of the place. 2. Comments must be polite, and proper. 3. I do not go into details of my life. I speak in Da SilverBlue Code. Which means I’m [...]

I’m not going to waste good blog space fisking a troll, but there’s one in our midst gentle blogreaders. You may check the comments to the post before this one to see what I mean.

Don’t ask. It was just something I figured out. It’s the weekend, and believe it or not, I’ve already gotten a lot accomplished.

Yipes. What would be worse than taking my coffee away from me? Taking my Internet away when I wasn’t expecting it. This morning, the cable Internet was being flaky. With me having a package that needed to be shipped! NO!!!!!!!!! But, I brewed some coffee, took a deep breath, and what? It’s back. Yay. Package [...]

Well, it was crazy, it was even a bit looney, but my weekend has finally arrived. No checking work email or voicemail until Monday. It’ll be difficult (I tend to be a bit of a workaholic when it comes to that) but you know, it felt good to turn on call-forwarding and turn OFF IM-forwarding. [...]

Thanks to Moonglow WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize that he must first deal with the problem on “THIS” side of the road before it goes after the problem on the “OTHER SIDE” of the road. What we need to do [...]

Yep. Guess I can now mark that one off my 101 things to do list. Photo after the jump.

Before my personal life took a nosedive, a month ago, I was up to almost 300 visitors a day. It felt good. The average visitor was on my site for over a minute, which is forever in blog-time. Then, things went south. So did blog viewership. I dropped to below 100 visitors a day. Now, [...]

You know, I’ve had it with people forcing their morals on other citizens. Take the bullshit happening in Black Jack, Missouri. There are MANY reasons why people choose not to get married. That does not mean that, if they chose to have children, those children are any less loved than if the parents are married. [...]

…and wrestled with Gods.* It’s interesting talking with friends that you’ve fallen out of touch with over time; catching up is such a good thing. If nothing else, it sometimes proves that you weren’t incorrect with your take on things. Without going into details, I spoke with an old friend today who was burned in [...]

A male pastor walked into a neighbourhood pub to use the toilet. The place was hopping with music and dancing, until people saw the pastor. As the room quieted down he walked up to the bartender, and asked, “May I please use the toilet?” The bartender replied, “I really don’t think you should.” “Why not?” [...]

Enjoy. (RealAudio required)

I’ve reached a point where I’ve nearly driven myself bonkers trying to make everyone happy. Yes, it’s important to try to keep a happy medium in the house (wait a minute, I’m still an extra-large….), at work, and in my life, but things aren’t what they should be. I’m slowly coming to realize that it [...]
