That Sinking Feeling... posted on Aug 10, 2006 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

This has been such a weird week. Everything has felt weird, unsettled, tilting, shifting. Now I hear about this terrorist plot that was foiled….I can’t say I’m surprised to hear about it. I was at a party a few weeks...

"Knowing When to Shut Up" - A Gift of the Spirit? posted on Mar 08, 2006 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

I had to go to the bank on my way to work today. That's always traumatic. Not so much because of our financial situation... The bank is traumatic because it's in the Frightening Food store ( Shoppers) and you never...

A Question Worth Asking.... posted on Feb 24, 2006 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

Good ole Camp X-Ray, Guantanamo Bay. It just doesn't seem to go away. For some reason, it just doesn't fade from public consciousness in the way the current administration seemed to think it would. I listen to the news every...

Attention Pagans - Please Come Get Your Holiday! posted on Dec 07, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

I can't take it anymore. I was determined to not get involved in "the culture war" this year - what the Heritage Foundation is calling "an attack on Christmas". But I can't stand it. I have to say somehing. This...

That Small Still Voice... posted on Nov 15, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

This is an entry about religion. I'm saying so now, so that if you don't want to read about religion you can just skip me for today and go read somebody else. You see, that's how I am about religion,...

Christmas Cards! Oh Christmas Cards! posted on Nov 09, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

Every once in awhile, even a work-a-holic like me has to take a break. And then what do you suppose happens? Well, I start some project "for fun" that quickly turns into a job in and of itself. This time,...

You Heard the Man... posted on Sep 02, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

Well, President Bush finally managed to say something I agree with : "If you don't need to buy gasoline, don't buy it." Even though much of the gasoline at local pumps was bought and paid for last week - when...

I Got a Bad Feeling About This posted on Aug 28, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

Because we don't have a working television, I didn't find out how bad Hurricane Katrina was expected to be until I got on line this evening. And, since I've been reading the news I've just had a steadily more sinking...

The Simple Life? posted on May 31, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

Okay, I hear you wondering, why has the Winged Creature decided to post a photograph of her trash? It's not trash, actually. That's the point. It's all useable stuff.....just stuff that The Hub and I are not using, or...

Can't I Be Your Neighbor? posted on Apr 25, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

What luck! The Hub had to work yesterday - the day I was hosting family dinner at my house and my asthma came back with a vengance....something I realized was going on after he left. I located a new rescue...

Goodbye, Karol Wojtyla posted on Apr 02, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

Okay. It's not like I knew him personally. Actually, I'm doing something pretty Quakerly there, calling the late Pope John Paul II by his given name. But that was his name, and for most of his life that's who he...

Losing My Religion - The Sequel posted on Mar 29, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

You'd think that once somebody lost their religion - in my case, left the Catholic Church, that would be the end of it. But it isn't. A person just can't forget about their upbringing and it was one of the...

The Witch of Endor vs. The Witch of Ellicott City posted on Jan 20, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

I've fried my pedometer. No big surprise, since it has some electronic component, and I've worn it on my jeans or skirt every day since September. When Mom and I first started our walking program ( which is an excersise...

The Good Things posted on Jan 09, 2005 by Ginga Cool Cat in category [Speaking Just for Me....]

Well, as weird as this may sound, some good things are already happening as a result of me getting burglerized. The first good thing - well, I guess it was good - is that it set in mind a train...
