I always thought it was a bad idea and never did it. However my parents did it, and I’m sure a lot of what is known about them applies to me.

One thing about boycotting the likes of Amazon is that I realize that I don’t need any more junk.

From what it seems to me, the megachurches are doing okay. It’s the more traditional denominations that are suffering. Overall religion might be on a decline, but certain sects are flourishing. One silver lining about some of the megachurches is that they’re led by a strong personality and once they’re gone, the whole organization putters out. They’re more organized around an individual than a theology.

I’m more of an accordion person anyhow…

I stayed in one years ago after moving to a new city and it surprised me to see a school bus stop and pick up kids living there.

A vasectomy is a hell of a deal.

RIP. I love that movie too. Virginia Madsen did a wonderful job and the soundtrack by Philip Glass is sublime. It’s nostalgic for me as well, since it takes place in Chicago during my formative years, and it’s a little glimpse of what it was like at that time.

Nothing new. My both deceased grandmother’s left behind houses, pole barns full of things. In the 80s, and the family resorted to renting a dumpster to get rid of much of it. It’s kind of sad, but everyone already had lots of junk of their own. I’m guilty of this as well, I’m starting to fill up a storage unit of my own. I however think twice now when I make a purchase.

Get hardly anyone to notice me on okcupid, so I cancel my subscription, and within a day or two after it lapsed, I get 25 people interested in me, but I can’t see their profile unless I pay, so I resubscribe only to see they’re all in the Philippines and Africa. Then it’s back to getting nothing. It seems to me that okcupid baited me into buying a subscription and I fell for it. The whole service is a scam.

For granted, there’s no shortage of coffee shops in my city. Locally operated and owned, and they have better coffee at better prices. Starbucks isn’t even a reasonable choice with so many better options available.

Many Boomers voted their progeny away when they put Reagan in office.

It’s not really necessary to be part of the Southern Baptist convention. In fact, it’s not really necessary to be part of any church at all. A person doesn’t have to go to church. There’s no requirement for it and they can live a perfectly moral and meaningful life without ever setting foot in a church.
