This kid is about to turn 12.  I can't blame her for feeling the way she does.

Just had a STRANGE thing happen a few moments ago.  When I clicked on the link for the Voicelessness Board from my e-mail, the message I got was:  "Server Not Found".     Then, after several more attempts, the website finally came up!  WEIRD!!!!

I can't help but have the suspicion that the advice columnists edit the letters, to fit the space, and edit out pertinent details that would have the letter make more sense.  Some days, the letters sound as if they have HUGE holes in them where additional information has been stripped away.

That first letter writer HAS NO CLUE what it's like to struggle to survive on a FIXED income while dealing with medical issues!!!!  I've been TRYING to get work so I can pay my medical bills, student loan, AND deal with the aftermath of flood damage plus the insurance deductible!  Lavish lifestyle my A$$!!!!

Hear, hear.
I hear you, Bones.

The tone-deafness of the privileged, or even just the financially secure,
gets to me too at times.

Thanks, Hops.

Until they walk a mile in our shoes, and experience what we live with every day, they just won't get it!

I just got word that one of my favorite authors died this morning from cancer.  I've had the pleasure of meeting her at Star Trek conventions and attending workshops that she conducted.  I have her books on my shelf and still enjoy re-reading them.  The Star Trek conventions will never be the same now that's she's gone.  She's no longer in pain and, at the same time, I HATE CANCER!!!!!  It's taken away many talented people including Mark Lenard, DeForest Kelley, George Harrison......

Bones do some last names really have no meaning and no origin? Like what do you think the last name crandlemire means or comes from?  Like I know my last name came from the british isles.

I thought all names really had some kind of greater history. What do you think?

Good morning, Bean.

Yes, names have a history.  Many, many, many, many moons ago, people didn't have surnames or family names as we take for granted today.  There were often given names plus some sort of characteristic that would distinguish that individual within his tribe or village such as Big John, or Little John, Eric the Red, John's Son, (Johnson), Ben the Blacksmith, (Ben Smith).

I'll look up Crandlemire as the origin of that name now has me curious.
