"walkin" the dog

2008-10-07T17:48:00.000-07:00

We are in the midst of training and thought we would try to see if we could get the pup to walk on the treadmill.. this is her first time trying.. pardon the high pitched shrieking in the background!

Still remembering....7 years later

It has been 7 years since Osama's minions killed so many innocent people.
not a day goes by that I don't think of Robert, and his family... it's hard to believe it has been that long.
and 7 years later we are no closer to capturing those who are really responsible for this vile and cowardly act.

This is Kasey Dorothy!! A rescue pup that we brought home last night..
she's a 2 month old hound mix and very much a puppy!!
She did really well on her first night in her new home and did GREAT!! on her first night of housebreaking!!!
We think that ultimately she will be about the same size or a little bigger than her sister Xena.
She is very very sweet... I hope to have some better pictures soon.. this one was taken with my cell phone so it's not great.. but keep checkin back for new, better photos!!

Soo..
I haven't written in a long time.. nothing to say I guess.. or lots to say and no time.. not really sure..
The political season is heating up so I am sure that will give me some content..
I've been in a funk lately, and this past couple of weeks it's gotten worse...
I miss my family...
I grew up within three blocks of most of my family.. I could run over to their houses if I wanted too.. Now I am so far away it's a day's ride or a plane trip..
We spend a lot of time with my partner's family, and I love that.. I do, but it's not the same.. Not to mention that my parents and aunts and uncles are all getting up there in age, and I am missing valuable time with them. I try to get home as often as I can, but once a year isn't really what I had in mind.
I love my life.. I do.. I just wish I could do that "samantha from bewitched" trick with my nose and be where I need to be when I need to be there.. or when I want to be there.. I missed a rockin superbowl party with all my cousins.. and I hated it.
I so wanted to be there..
oh well.. I know it's not going to change anytime soon.. but I just figured I would vent about it the one place where I could..

I want my mommmy

Tis the season... for traffic

2007-12-15T19:58:00.000-08:00

Yesterday as I crawled along the highway for over 2 hours for a trip that usually takes about 30 minutes....(can I just say OH MUH GAWD!!!!) I realized I have a weird phobia.
I will not stop my car underneath an overpass with any part of my car sticking out from under the structure.
Too many movies with cars flyin off overpasses I guess.. but I'm always afraid that I'll be a sitting target.
Interestingly enough I found out today as butter and I were driving to a christmas party.. she has a phobia about stopping underneath the underpasses. afraid that it will fall.
So, we laughed and realized we were going to have to make a compromise while driving.

Busy getting ready for the holidays..
hope everyone has a very merry!

There are no words......

Profound Sadness

2007-09-22T20:39:00.000-07:00

Today, the phone rang.. it was my elderly aunt.. I usually try to call her once a week so it was odd that she was calling me.. I thought perhaps my uncle was in the hospital as they have had some health issues lately.
Unfortunately, my gut feeling that something was definitely wrong was correct.
My cousin, who was working out of state in Louisiana, was hit by a car and killed overnight.
I immediately wanted to throw up.

My cousin was a Marine.. he made it through his tour, and was going to go back for another but his mother was ill, and he decided he needed to be at home with her instead. He went to school to learn to be an underwater welder. He was a bit of a daredevil.. a wild streak.. So for him to see the end of his life mowed down on the side of the road just seems so wrong to me.

I am just in shock today. It is difficult for us to get any information about what happened until monday.. The not knowing what exactly happened is makin everyone just a little crazy.. I was able to get a little info from one of the media outlets in town.. but it wasn't much.
So for now we just wait for more word.. and to find out when we can bring our boy home.
I have such great memories of when he and his brother were kids.. and more recent memories when I have been able to get home. He was a good guy.. Having lost his mother only 3 years ago, I wonder how much his dad and brother can take. They are numb. we are all numb.
Most families aren't like ours. we are EXTREMELY close to cousins and aunts and uncles.. they aren't considered "immediate family" in most circles.. but they are to me.. Our large extended family is closer than most small families.. and this loss is hitting all of us pretty hard..
here are a couple of pictures of my cutie cousin when he was younger.. I have been told that growing up, he reminded them of me.. extremely independent and a lil' shit.
So, go hug your family.. tell them you love them.. you never know when it will be the last time.

Rest in Peace JB, I hope your mom welcomed you and you had the best reunion ever.

We will NEVER forget!

2007-05-23T20:38:00.000-07:00

Sadly... the cat that we have been trying to domesticate was struck by a car this evening.. we mourn our little friend squeaky.. a great little cat who was only weeks away from finding a good home.
As I drove up the hill I saw him, lying on the side of the road, blood flowing down the hill.. The rest I won't describe, because I don't even want to think about it.
I pulled into the driveway and rushed out to get something to put him in, I didn't want anyone else to run over him while he was just lying out there...

Speeding is a problem in our neighborhood.. especially since we live on a blind driveway.. there is no doubt in my mind that whoever left this cat to die in the road was speeding down the hill. Below is a note I sent out to my association..

As I write this note I am in tears over the living creature that I just picked up from the middle of the hill with a shovel.
We have been trying to get a feral kitten to trust us enough so that we could eventually get him a good home.
His home will now be in our backyard.

I don't know if it was a neighbor that hit this animal and left it to die in the middle of the road.. I would like to hope that it wasn't.
But I am sending this email out as a reminder to SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HILL!
the posted speed limit is 25 miles an hour. I see cars every day go WAY faster than that.
We have asked at general meetings over and over again for people to slow down and be careful because there are deer and other animals that cross the street here.

this time it was a cat.... let's hope there isn't a next time.

PLEASE SLOW DOWN.
and if you happen to hit an animal.. please take the time to move it from the middle of the road so it isn't run over multiple times.

They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)
( The Spinners )

Can't get no rest
Don't know how I work all day
When will I learn?
Memories get in the way
I walk around
I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
Don't see at all
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't

Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone well I
Spent all my day
Fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find
Love, peace of mind, some other time, but I
Still have today
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone

Games people play
Night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue

Been down too long
Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' all day
Thinking just of you

Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone

Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smilin' as she came, callin' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day

Games people play
Night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue

HAIR!

2007-05-06T18:36:00.000-07:00

So,
saturday was errand day.. got some memory for my new computer and did the one thing I have been putting off for over a month!
HAIRCUT!!!!
My hair was SO long.. people were making comments about its length.. I mean serious rock and roller big hair type long!
So, with picture in hand, off to the hair cuttery I went!
two pairs of shears and about 4 inches later I have a new summer "do"!
this is what was left of my hair on the cutting room floor!

of course, it just looked so funny there on the floor.. almost like a full head of hair for someone else.. I'm sure it would have made a nice wig for someone, but it was a few inches short for me to be able to donate it.. here's what I imagined as I looked at it there.

pay it forward

2007-05-02T19:05:00.001-07:00

at the risk of this being a self serving post.. I really wanted to share these pictures but there is a story behind them and why I got them..

Yesterday, as I was coming out of the CVS after getting a script filled, I spotted a check register lying on the ground. You know the kind where you write the check and it makes a carbon copy of it right there in the book? I picked it up, there wasn't really any identifying information on it, no name, no address, no phone, no bank name.. nuthin.. but it was meticulously kept. Checks had been written to doctor's offices, birthday gifts, the IRS for 2007, and a number of checks written to a local church.
I thought for half a second about just taking it into the CVS and leaving it there in case the person came back looking for it. But then I figured they would probably just toss it in the trash. So, I took it home. As I was looking at it, I realized that the part of the check where you sign your name was partially blacked out, but if I looked at it in a certai light, I could partially make out the last name.
So, when I got home, I called the church bookkeeping office and explained that I thought that the person who lost the checkbook was a parishioner. The woman at the church recognized the name and within 10 minutes the owner of the book called me.
She was so ecstatic that someone had found it and kept thanking over and over.
Now, I don't know about you, but personally I feel like if the same thing happened to me, I would want someone to return my property. And that's pretty much how I go through life.. the golden rule..
We made arrangements for her to come by my office to pick up her register, though I offered to bring it to her.
fast forward to this morning..she called me early to tell me that it was going to be a little later than she had planned when she was going to be able to come by.. no problem I told her, I would be there till late. She again thanked me over and over and I just responded, "thank my mama ma'am, my mama raised me right" and she responded
she surely did.. thank you again so very much"
I got to work and am immediately grabbed by a co-worker telling me "you have beautiful flowers in the lobby"!
In my head I'm wondering why butter would send me flowers.. not my birthday, not an anniversary.. just a wednesday..

As you can see, the flowers are absolutely beautiful. Gerber daisies, roses, waxflower and hydrangea.. stunning. I open the card and realize that they aren't from butter at all.. but from the woman whose register I found.
the card read
"Thank you ever so much you are a very special person"
I got a little teary. I didn't pick up the register for a reward, or for anything really other than to do the right thing.
It was a very sweet thing for this elderly lady to do, and started my day on such an uplifting bright spot.
What a really nice way to start a day....
hope yours starts just a nicely tomorrow!!!

after the pollen..the beauty

2007-04-25T17:10:00.000-07:00

Our rose bushes bloomed today.. and our friend and AWESOME photographer turtle just happened to be at the house with her trusty (or trysty.. as I just misspelled it!)
camera.. she sent over these shots..
it's worth the pollen.. and the sneezing and runny eyes and ickyness for the beauty that is.. flora..

Spring has ACHOOOOOO Sprung!

2007-03-26T22:16:00.000-07:00

Oh the beauty of spring.. tulips, Irises, dogwoods, azaleas... all of the wonderful things about spring come with one little tiny problem.. POLLEN!!!
For the past week I have been mainlining Claritin, benadryl, flonase, Tylenol.. anything to get me through the day where my eyes water and my head feels like someone is squeezing it in a vise.
THIS is what I am talkin about!

IT'S EVERYWHERE!!!
You can feel it in searing your throat when you breathe.. you can feel it in your eyes..
now sure, you are saying.. hey... it's just a little pollen.. well consider that according to the atlanta allergy center.. a "high" rating is at 150 pollen particles per cubic meter of air..
today's count?
5,499!!

I sure don't know how long this is going to last, but I am prayin for rain soon.. EVERYONE, and I mean everyone, pets included.. is miserable.. we've even had to give our dog benadryl cause she is rubbin at her eyes constantly and they are tearing so badly it's leaving stains on her face.
I have NEVER had problems with allergies, I remember my cousins running off once a week to get an allergy shot when we were kids.. I could eat anything, do anything.. never ever had a problem.. till I moved here.. It wasn't really a big deal, a couple times a year I would take some allergy stuff and be fine.. It is SO bad that I didn't want to even go outside yesterday.
So, while I am happy that winter is over, and that spring is here.. I could do without this high pollen count.. it's makin everyone quite cranky!

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!!!!!

GET OUT AND PROTEST

CAA slams the door on Homophobe

2007-03-01T17:36:00.000-08:00

As reported by http://www.tmz.com the bigwigs at CAA -Creative Artists Agency signed conservative talk show weasel Michael Alan Weiner, aka Michael Savage.. just days after he went on a homphobic rant about Oscar Winner Melissa Etheridge.. Funny that it takes Missy to get me back into blogland.. but I was SO pissed about it, that I actually had the phone number for CAA dialed into my phone let it ring a couple times then thought, "they aren't gonna give a shit what I think". and hung up.
I'm not going to copy what he said here.. because the words he uttered have no home here under the big rock.. Suffice it to say it wasn't nice, and it wasn't necessary. I for one was APPLAUDING and CHEERING when M.E leaned over to give her wife Tammy Lynn, a kiss when she won..
It was NICE to see.. who the frick cares who someone kisses when they win an award anyway... ???
So, breaking news.. apparently the folks at CAA have a spine and a heart after all and they have dumped the creatinous asshole from their agency shortly after the story appeared that they had signed him.... BUH BYE! don't let the door hit ya in the arse.. mmmkay?

Lets do the math.....
Melissa Etheridge is going to make CAA money .. more money than that blowhard Savage could ever dream about.. It was a slap in the face to her for them to even consider signing that moron.
So, thank you CAA.. for doing the only right thing to do.. getting rid of the homophobe before he permeated your agency at its core.
You ain't so bad after all.......

oh and mr s.. some people might use the word vomit when they refer to you.....join us in this century won't you?

in the middle of a firestorm

2006-12-19T17:20:00.000-08:00

many of you might remember my extended family members who were right in the middle of the fires in California a few weeks ago. I got this email shortly after they were allowed to return to their home. If you ever wondered what it is like to be in the middle of something like this, please read on as my brother-in law describes it in his own words....

Evacuated again, third time in three years - and this was the worst!

House had flames within sight on 3+ sides - several hundred yards tops each
way, maybe 75 yards at the closest. Smoke was so thick in our yard that, at
one point, I couldn't see the end of a 20-foot driveway from the doorway of
the garage. Even before it got that close and that thick, half-burned leaves
were dropping in our yard, still warm. Fires were within 20 feet of a half
dozen homes within shouting distance, and several yards were burned. Winds
topped 40mph, with gusts up to 75mph! Helicopters dropped water more than 9
times behind a single house, but the flames kept coming. Two houses burned
down, but that was a few neighborhoods away.

Sent the rest of the family out of harm's way well before noon. I stuck
around, packing up pictures from the walls, spraying the bushes and trees
and patio with both hoses, and gathering info from neighbors, cops, and
firemen - or what info I could; radio, tv, and internet aren't very useful
in circumstances like this - ya gotta be on the ground. I left by 430 -
which was good, because it apparently flared up and was dropping embers in
our yard as late as 9pm.

Spent the night @ a beach hotel, made a mini-vacation of it, and came back
home today. There
are only a few plumes of smoke visible, and the firetrucks haven't been in
the neighborhood for almost 14 hours, woot.

for those of you who were keeping a good thought or a prayer goin their way, thank you. There were many internet friends who were hopin for the best.. fortunately the best possible outcome ocurred and everyone is fine. Lets just hope they move out of that hell hole sometime soon!

we are family

2006-12-17T21:05:00.000-08:00

Our visit to florida was turned upside down with a 1 am call to 911 when my visiting uncle (who was fine a couple hours before) fell ill. 2 DAYS in the ER later.. and finally a room available, we find out he has a pulmonary embolism. We are very fortunate that it didn't happen on the plane, and that they were able to find it in time.. But what was supposed to be a kinda veggin out with the family trip turned into running across town several times a day and trips to the hospital. We went down to visit with them, and were gonna do it wherever they happened to be, even if it meant the ER. He is now resting and on massive blood thinners as they try to get it to dissipate.. In our travels, we came across some fun stuff. including the house that I posted a picture of from my camera phone.. here are some better photos of the display.

see the creepy santa photos continued on the post below

Oh Christmas tree.....

2006-12-09T23:00:00.000-08:00

(this post is in two parts, as blogger wouldn't let me post all the pics in one post)

it's that time of year! the time when we break out all of our ornaments and decorate our holiday tree! Usually we get a 7 and half foot tree, but this year we went for a smaller version.

here she is before she got all spiffied up!

we have many ornaments that have sentimental value to us. Each year the very first ornament we put up is the one that we got the very first christmas we were together..

then there are the two ornaments that represent our beloved furbabies who are no longer with us.. my dog watts, and butter's cat "little man" (he's got one of those registered names, but we called him little man)

the gingerbread cookie that we made on our holiday with our nephew last year.. it was the first time he had ever made gingerbread cookies, and I saved a few of them to make ornaments out of.. how martha stewarty of me huh?

oh christmas tree pt 2 and VICTORY!!!!

2006-12-09T19:34:00.000-08:00

(this is the second part of my christmas tree post, see above)

When one of my favorite cousins passed away after a courageous battle with breast cancer, I found this ornament at hallmark, and decided to get it and honor her every year. A part of the proceed from the sale of the ornament go to the Susan G. Komen breast cancer center, so it was also a way to do a good thing.
I miss her.. and cry every year I put it up.

We have assorted other little fun ornaments, like the one that looks like our other dog..

and of course, ornaments that have been handed down to us by our parents, and butter's godmother, who started getting her silver crosses as presents wen she became too old for dolls, so we have quite a few of those around the tree as well. and of course new ones that we pick up every year.
Here is the finishing touch.. the angel...

in other news, the office decorating competition took place last week... and I am more than happy to announce that WE WON!!!!!!!
oh yeah, what's that smell? oh yes, it's the smell of victory.
Our theme was christmas under the sea. (kind of a play on the fact that they just opened this huge aquarium here this past year.) apparently we weren't the only ones to think of that, cause a couple of other departments had the same sort of idea.
we turned a long windowed partition into the side wall of an aquarium, hung many fish from the ceiling inside said aquarium, had a boat bottom attached to the ceiling so that it looked like there was a boat above the water. fish nets, shells.. lights.. photos coming soon.. but the main competition was a department who chose "teddy bear land" as their theme.. I have to say, adults with fish and aquariums are calming and soothing, adults with literally hundreds of teddy bears around....kinda creepy.. not only were there hundreds of teddy bears, and a christmas village, but on the day of the judging, they had someone dress in a teddy bear costume.. ya know.. like a team mascot looking costume.. this person then did a little choreographed dance to try to win the judges favor.
we "borrowed" one of their smaller bears, and created a stir when a shark in our aquarium was swimming around with the back half of a teddy bear stickin out of it's mouth.
We were quite pleased with the win! the trophy will now be prominently displayed for the next year!
I will post some pictures of the competition to my flickr account in the next few days.. will make a note when they are up so that you can take a look for yourself....

victory will be ours!

2006-11-28T21:09:00.000-08:00

in our annual office holiday decorating competition.. there were some voting irregularities last year that put us in second place. there is NO way we deserved that! the winners department was comprised of those villages and some fake fireplaces and scented candles.. seriously, I couldn't go in there without getting a headache. so this year we are back with a vengeance! I can't tell you the theme, but will be posting photos as soon as I can. The really cool thing about our decorations last year was that they were animated.. we had dancing ballerinas and skaters.. it was quite cool..we had a roof that we had drawn shingles on covered in snow.. we had a candy cane path.. it was very cool.it was a christmas storefront theme.. here are some photos from last year.. enjoy

Happy Thanksgiving!

2006-11-26T20:48:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!
we spent the weekend hanging out at the lake.. I thought I would post some photos from the weekend! most are beauty shots.. a couple of our dog Xena, the warrior princess.. who, at one point was just staring at a closed door.... weird..

dontcha just wanna wake up to that every day!?

here is our pup's favorite place.. same as mine.. right in front of the fire.

here's the dog....staring at the closed bedroom door.. "ghost whisperer" perhaps?

We had a spectacular time, lots to give thanks for.. health, family.. Democrats back in the House and Senate! One week to the Dixie Chicks concert! Allllll kinds of stuff!
but mostly, and seriously, my own health and the health of my family and friends, and having someone who loves me so much I rarely believe it is possible.

My Christmas wish for all of you is the same.. Health and someone to love you silly!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

2006-10-30T21:13:00.000-08:00

We loaded up the truck with the dog and some gear and headed out to the lake for 4 days of MUCH NEEDED R&R!!
We got there early evening and it was a lil chilly, but nice and crisp.. perfect for fall weather!
after a great night of sleep we awoke to the nastiest storm.. it was cold, it was pouring down rain, it was incredibly windy! it was perfect napping weather.. or catchin up on your reading.. our reading of choice is usually whatever entertainment mags are around.. usually people (or as we call it .. pee-o-poly rhymes with monoply), US, Entertainment weekly, TV guide.. etc and it wouldn't be halloween without a viewing "It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown"

Saturday we spent antiquing at all the little shops in town.. and got a really cool piece for the living room.
we saw the funniest sign on the side of the road.. that I totally took a picture of and sent in to leno for headlines.. I mean it is headline worthy! I will share it here at a later date.
Saturday night the sky was clear and you could see stars for miles.. but there was a eerie fog coming off the lake.. I mean seriously eerie.. I tried to get a good shot of it but didn't really.

Sunday was the most beautiful of the days.. we had a late lunch.. and drove around town to check out new houses and just see the leaves and be outside! After we got home I took the pup out for a run and normally she hates water, but she wandered down the boat ramp and had to check it out.. now whenever the little waves would come in she would run away..
CHECKIN THINGS OUT!!!

in other fun stuff.. have you seen The Class?? it's on CBS on monday nights and it is absolutely the most hysterical of the new shows! Jason Ritter is the star (you know.. son of the late John Ritter?) It is the funniest quirky little show that for some reason a lot of people haven't seen. They moved "how I met your mother" so that it runs before the class hopefull to get some of their holdover audience.. I really hope more people start tuning in.. cause it really is very funny! It revolves around ritter's character getting back in touch with his third grade classmates so that he can ask his girlfriend (that he met in third grade) to marry him. She turns him down and hilarity ensues! If you haven't checked it out yet! please do! you will be glad you did! There's the geeky guy who falls in love with one of the classmates and during their date, runs over her and breaks her legs. Her cynical sarcastic sister who befriends the Ritter character. The uppity TV newscaster who is married to an obviously gay man (who either doesn't realize it or well we're not sure what) and their daughter, who they wanted to name after a strong woman, so they named her Oprah. And the guy she was in love in third grade who was the most popular boy in school and who now lives with his boyfriend (and her husband makes obvious remarks about how cute the boyfriend is) and a host of other just hysterical characters.. If you loved friends, or seinfeld or any other well written smartly acted show.. check out "the class" mondays at 8:30 on CBS!

(more pictures from the weekend trip later.. blogger is having an issue uploading pictures at the moment!)

Happy Birthday !!!

2006-10-15T19:59:00.000-07:00

tonight we spent b's birthday wtih friends at dinner.. we had a blast and there was actually a good photo taken of both of us.. usually it's just a good picture of her.. but this time we both looked presentable!

the star of the evening was our lil babe! since we are honorary aunts, it is always nice to spend time with her and both of her moms. I took one other good picture last night..

How CUTE is that little one!!!???? and you can see her lil "teefers" comin in on the bottom there.. We are in complete and total love with all the lil ones in our lives..
here's a shot of our lil boy on the phone with us..

and our sweet niece

it is so good to have young life around.. kids keep ya young.. I cherish whatever time I can spend with the little ones in our lives.. It's been a fantastic weekend and hopefully the week will be just as great!
Life is good

IT'S LEATHA WEATHA!!!!!!

2006-10-15T16:14:00.000-07:00

ohhh it has begun.. the cool down that reminds us that Halloween is right around the corner, and christmas is on the way! It's been cold here the past few nights.. so it was time for both my first vat of chili of the season.. and my grandmother's vegetable vermicelli soup. A few people have asked for the chili recipe, so I'm gonna post it here.. enjoy! and stay warm!

2 lbs ground chuck or sirloin (or whatever you like.. the leaner the better)
1 large onion chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped fine
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
2 16 oz cans tomato sauce
1 can dark kidney beans
1 can light kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
paprika
oregano
salt
chili powder
cumin
pepper
cayenne pepper

brown beef in fryin pan, drain, leaving just a tiny bit of fat in the bottom of the pan to cook the onions and garlic. transfer beef from frying pan to large saucepan. cook onions and garlic. add to beef once onions are translucent. stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and beans. add 8 oz of water (half a can) to pot.. stir.. simmer on medium low or low heat (depending on your stove.. don't wanna burn it) for at least 30 minutes.. but the longer you cook it.. the better it is..

I mix my own spices to taste, you can try 1/4 teaspon of the first 5 spices and see if you like that combo, add more of whatever you like.. ( i like more paprika in mine for example) add black pepper to taste, finish it off with as big a pinch of cayenne pepper as you like..
top with shredded cheddar and/or sour cream and scallions and cornbread.

karaoke nights and AIDS fundraiser

2006-09-23T01:47:00.000-07:00

tonight we went out with a friend for her birthday.. she chose mexican and karaoke so off we went.. it was a fundraiser for AID Gwinnett which inluded both a silent and live auction.. so wasn't I happy when I spied a photo of Jennifer Garner.. one of my girl crushes..I had to have it!! no one had bid on it at all and I can't imagine why..

so I watched her.. hell I stalked her all night long.. checking back to see if anyone had bid.. no one had.. finally about a half hour before the bids closed, someone bid.. I waited.. (as any good ebay bidder knows how...) 5 minutes before it closed, I struck.. and then I waited some more..
no one came back.. and she was mine! all mine!!!
it was for a good cause, and it is a great photograph.. and she will look great in our autograph alcove.. Generally I don't bid on celebrity autographs, half the fun of getting the autograph is the experience of actually getting the autograph.. but I made an exception for this one.. and butter was most gracious in letting me take her home.. thanks baby!

If I could put time in a bottle

2006-09-12T09:30:00.000-07:00

Time travel.. it’s something everyone has probably thought about.. but I actually experienced it last week, as the signal from my daily staple DAVE FM’s RADIO FREE LUNCH slowly faded into the distance it happened. (insert weird wayne’s world music here”
I was taken back instantly 20 years as I flipped through the dial on my radio station in north Florida.. I heard Rod Stewart, the Pointer Sisters, Tina Turner, and “Johnny Cougar” Mellancamp.. surely it was just one bad station.. I continued searching..
Lionel Ritchie, Kenny Loggins, and the Bee Gees.. the list goes on and on..
There was not ONE decent radio station all the way into Central Florida.. I thought perhaps when I got near UF, I would at least get a rippin college type station… well if it was there, I couldn’t find it.. County music was totally current on all stations I switched to… but there was not one Adult Contemporary station that was even in this decade, being that it was not a planned trip, I had one mix cassette tape with me, since I just got this car, I haven’t had time to outfit it with XM or even a decent CD player yet (oh but I will soon !) So fortunately I was able to listen to the Dixie Chicks, Pink, Sarah Bettens and Cathy Richardson, to remind myself that it was still 2006!
The funniest part of this is on the way back just after I had sent a friend the following text message, “on the road again”…. The very next song on the AC station was…… you guessed it….. Willie Nelson.. OTRA.. I was just amused as hell..
So, blogpals, if you are driving in north florida.. PLEASE!!! Make sure you have some decent music with you.. don’t say I didn’t warn you!

the long and winding road...

2006-09-07T02:11:00.000-07:00

a long day .. driving from georgia to florida.. seems like it shouldn't take so long but it's actually a long and fairly boring drive..
exhibit 1

Georgia

exhibit 2

florida

notice any difference? there isn't much..
but after some rather nasty storms and a couple of bad accidents... (that I drove upon, not involved in) I got home safe...
now it's off to bed for a day of fun at the hospital with dad in the am.

rest in peace Elissa Hadley

2006-09-03T13:47:00.000-07:00

This comes from another biscuit.. an angry biscuit.. Elissa Hadley is a singer in the Atlanta/Athens Georgia area, someone I haven't seen for a while, but heard she passed away just a week ago. She will be missed, and everyone has missed hearing her voice.. she was one cool chick.

Someone you love may be dying as you read this, much sooner than you think or are ready to deal with.
They could be silently suffering RIGHT NOW and not even know it.

It doesn't have to be that way.

DO something - make a difference - declare your love.
Don't wait until there's no choice, do it while you have one.

There is no excuse.

Read angry_biscuit's story. Celebrate Elissa's life and musical legacy. Save someone YOU love.

what the???

2006-08-23T22:41:00.000-07:00

Walking down the aisle at the grocery store I spotted the following item....

I did a double take. and immediately grabbed my camera phone to share with all my pals!

who knew lickin hors could be a nutritional family treat!!! silly me, i though surely some sort of STD would result from hor lickin.. but apparently in England it's fun for the whole family! (underneath the name of the product it says "the great family nutritional")
So I googled it and found out that Horlicks is actually an ovaltine kind of beverage.. Still.. who comes up with the names for this stuff!
I remember in the snack machine at work we had snacks that were like honey buns and pastries like that and they were called " HO-MADE" no lie.. that is exactly how they spelled it.. I never purchased one of those items, cause I figured it couldn't be a good thing.. And like how much do the pimps get from the sale of these items?? are they "former" ho's? or are they walkin the street at night and making delicious pastry snacks during the day>? Is THIS what paris hilton really made all her money doing? making snacks????? it is all just too much for me to take!
So, if you have a funny HOR comment.. leave it here! Who knows what next week's shopping trip will bring!

rest and relaxation

2006-08-20T22:38:00.000-07:00

just back after a long weekend of rest and relaxation before my girl heads back to school tomorrow..
We had a wonderfully relaxing time at the lake, where the sunsets are incredible ...nightly...

So tomorrow begins a new chapter... New things to get used to.. new people to meet..
it is both an exciting and a bit of a scary time.. But I have so much faith that my girl is going to prevail.
good thoughts and vibes sent butter's way are welcome!
Law school year 2 ....here we come!

Hope everyone had a wonderfully relaxing weekend..

2006-08-11T23:00:00.000-07:00

many have wondered where i have been and why I haven't been blogging.. there's lots to blog about..
cynthia mckinney's interpretive rendition of "Dear Mr. President" among other things..
well blog buddies.. it's been a particularly irritating couple of months..
You all lived through my "dry socket" issue with my tooth getting pulled.. well this month I had to have my big toenail completely removed.. and well.. it's a lil painful..
so instead of just spewing out blog after blog about how tired I am of being in some sort of pain.. I have just taken some time off for the moment.
I'm sure someone will piss me off and I will be back bloggin about politics or some stupid person.. or a cute kid.. ya never know..
so thanks to everyone who emailed to ask if I was ok.. I am.. just a little over the medical issues at the moment.. (it's all relative I know.. it could be worse.. it's just been a little too much for me at this time.)

MEATFEST!!!

2006-07-08T14:45:00.000-07:00

the annual tradition known as Meatfest was a sight to behold.. Boston butts, chicken, ribs, brats.. brisket.. every type of meat you would ever want to be smoked.. and all of it yum-o!~
A friend of mine is what I like to call a competitive BBQ-er.. and he is DAMN good at it.. the best I've tasted. and I have tasted a lot of BBQ. So, on the fourth of July, folks gather from miles around for "Bobby-Q" and fireworks, as they set them off quite close to where my friends live.
The food at meatfest 2006 was excellent as it always is

but it isn't any bbq.. it's a "Big Green Egg" bbq.. if you haven't heard about the big green egg and you like to cook.. you really should check it out. There is a whole like society of "eggheads" who use the smoker/griller to cook just about anything.. including pizza.. it's pretty cool!

Since the big fireworks were rained out, we had some small ones, but meatfest the sequel happens tonight.. more meat. and with any luck at all .. fireworks!

On the health front, the oral surgeon says that my "dry hole" is finally starting to heal..(that was for all of those of you with your heads in the gutter.. for some reason the term dry hole makes people giggle like school girls.
So, my head is finally not hurting constantly.. but it's still not fun after I eat.. I am really hoping this clears up before the kiddies are in town.
so happy weekend.. we are off to clean the house..
Just watched an EXCELLENT movie.. for all my gays!
it's called Latter Days and it is playing on LOGO this weekend. If you have some time check it out.. I happened upon it this morning and it was really a good movie. It's got a great cast, and the story is really good, and I'm sure has happened on more than one occasion. Written by the same guy who wrote "Sweet Home Alabama".
Check it out if you have a chance.
Tomorrow..
WORLD CUP SOCCER!!!!!!
GO FRANCE!!!!!!

Relaxation Vacation

2006-07-03T22:28:00.000-07:00

spent the weekend at the lake.. The sunsets were incredible and so Xena and I went down to the dock to watch the sunset!

It's days like this that just make me so happy to be able to witness something so beautiful

After Butter's dad made us a SPECTACULAR dinner! we decided that since it was a holiday weekend and it was late, we didn't want to get on the road with the crazy drunk folk.. so we spent an extra night and headed back to town in the morning.. I was even an hour early for work!

The day droned on, as most people had taken the day off for the long weekend.. but we had plenty to get done for tomorrow, so it was a very busy day.. that for some reason took forever.. After I got home from work.. butter and I decided to have a dinner date at one of our favorite little italian restaurants Bambinelli's
We've been going there for quite a few years and they never disappoint!
I tried to take a photo of the Canolli, cause it is mouth watering goodness! it didn't come out very well though.

but you get the idea.. so if you are ever in the area, definitely stop in and say "hey" to bambi and have a little dinner! it's fantastic.

The tooth is very slowly healing.. the pain is no longer constant.. but it is still pretty painful at times.. I really can't believe HOW much it hurt. I have a pretty high pain threshold.. I can only imagine what it would be like for someone who didn't.. they would be in the hospital on morphine (don't think I didn't think about it at one point.. I am SERIOUS about how bad it hurt.. worse than my back surgery..)
They continue to pack it with nasty tasting medicine soaked gauze.. mmmmyummy!
and hopefully it will be fully healed soon.. thanks to all those who inquired or sent good thoughts my way.. it was and is appreciated.

Hope everyone has a happy and SAFE 4th of July! We are off to our good friend B's house for MEATFEST The 4th of July Edition 2006 Will definitely have photos and I am sure some stories from that one..
Stay tuned.....

ouchies and bed head

2006-06-25T21:50:00.000-07:00

So 4 days after having a tooth pulled and some work done, I wake up in excruciating pain. my whole lower right jaw all the way around to the middle of the front of my mouth just hurts.
So I'm thinking that's not a good thing.. So the better part of the day was spent packed in ice and sleeping off and on. It is the sleeping part that was artistic.. last weekend I got a very short haircut... which makes for the best bed head ever!
Turtle.. this one is for you baybee!

Butter took this photo with my camera phone that was on the table next to the bed.. so it's not like an olympus quality camera.. but it gives you a good idea what I woke up lookin like after a nap at like 4 in the afternoon
Aw come on.. we ALL get bedhead.. so, I have no problem sharing that with everyone..
matter of fact.. send your best bedhead photo to me and I will post them along side mine ! do you have it in ya?
So, in the morning I will call the oral surgeon and hopefully get some antibiotics or figure out what is goin on. Because of all the painkillers I have taken in the past for my back, it seems it's takin more to help with the pain in the jaw.. so I'm gonna have to talk to him about that too, cause what I'm takin now isn't cuttin it..

Pride weekend was a washout.. we had a nice day yesterday in the park.. saw a girl that I went to junior high school with , who happened to be playing during pride yesterday.. she really rocked the house.. if I had to compare her to someone, she's kinda like Heart, Chrissie Hynde, or really old melissa etheridge, back before she went all commercial.. or maybe lita ford.. she's pretty cool. check her out on myspace check her out.. I like all of her stuff but "cry mercy" is one of my favorites.
We walked around the park, saw some old friends as ya tend to do at pride.. everyone kinda comes out to touch base.. we made some small purchases, mostly tshirts and things.. but they had so many vendor tents. Butter wanted a shirt from the "femenist Outlawz" but they had sold everything but small shirts and well.. they were just a lil to small for butter and her "girls" ...
so, at least the weather held for one good day.. I'm sure they lost a bunch of money.. and I feel bad for the performers who came out to play but didn't get to.
So, hopefully people will send in a donation to help defray the costs.. or hopefully they had some kind of insurance.
Hope everyone has a great week.!

stormy stormy night....and gay pride

2006-06-24T10:28:00.000-07:00

For anyone who was concerned about us.. no worries we are fine.
I had been planning to go to the opening ceremonies of gay pride weekend on friday night because they were going to replay Coretta Scott King's address from pride 1996, for which I was in the audience. It was a tribute to the 10th anniversary of her speech and in memory of her since her passing..
but there were weird storms in the area.. it was really windy.. and greenish grey outside .. so I called butter and we opted to wait and go today. It's a good thing we did.. apparently there was a crazy wind storm.. and the main stage was destroyed
one person was not seriously hurt.. but it was a bit nuts out there.. We are still trying to find out how behind they are today before we head out to the park for the afternoon.
so.. thanks for the emails and the calls.. we are both fine! and we are headed out to the park and then to football for the biggest game of the season!

the tooth fairy

2006-06-20T19:55:00.000-07:00

I'm sittin here a little after 10pm watching anderson cooper and showin butter the clips of the week from "Days of our Lives" which included abe kickin tek's ass!
bright and early tomorrow morning I head over to the oral surgeon's office to have a tooth extracted.
I am more than a little nervous.
I've never had a tooth pulled.. this one is in bad shape.. it should have been pulled before now, but my regular dentist wanted to put a crown on it. When they described how they needed to cut out some bone and some other weird stuff in order to get the crown to stay on, I opted to just have it taken out. It's the last tooth on the lower right side.. Unfortunately because of all the pain meds I have been on for such an extended time, I can't have regular novacaine.. so I have to be put under, which I suppose is a good thing.. cause I am scared shitless. I have no desire to feel, hear or otherwise be a part of them pullin a tooth. I've had nightmares about it all week.
I've not been a big fan of the dentist since once, a long time ago with that probe kind of tool a dentist got a hole of part of my gum and didn't know it. and tore it up real good.. ever since then the dentist has been a white knuckle experience for me.
So I had all these questions about if I needed to be on antibiotics beforehand with the back surgery (I was told no) and how bad it's gonna feel afterwards.. etc..
So, keep your fingers crossed. I know it doesnt' seem like all that big a deal to have a tooth pulled but it's the little things that make me nervous as hell...
will have some lovely pictures to post of my swollen chipmunk cheek tomorrow or thursday!
peace out peeps!

UPDATE
I'm home.. all is ok.. though I feel like my head has been run over by a truck a couple of times. been sleeping off and on.. (about to be on..) and I am starving but can't eat anything.
talk to ya later peeps..

SMORES

2006-06-18T20:29:00.000-07:00

after a wonderful pot roast with potatoes, carrots and mushrooms, butter mentioned something about hearing someone on television mention smores..
You know that look when your beloved reaaaaalllly wants something but they won't actually ask you for it (I like to call it puppy dog eyes)So, I sparked up the grill and smores a plenty! (ok actually we each had one..

Run Al......Run

2006-06-04T20:10:00.000-07:00

That was my best Forrest Gump impersonaltion.

Today, news came out that Al Gore has said that he isn't running in 2008. He hasn't completely ruled it out.. but has "found other ways to serve" Feeling the best use of his time is educating people about Global Warming.

I have heard that so many people have left the theatres after watching Al Gore's movie about global warming called "An Inconvenient Truth" saying things like "man I wish he had been my president".
To me, Al Gore is our one true hope in more ways than one. I believe that he can set this country on the right path again, not only fiscally, and morally, but also with regard to our dependence on foreign oil. He is both a strong leader and a wonderful teacher. He has a LOT to teach us about what we are doing to mother earth. I honestly believe that we have got to do something about how we are abusing the planet.. and I think Al Gore would be a wonderful person to set us on the right path, and be able to create change from the oval office for all Americans.

Jimmy Carter started a wonderful Solar program when he was in office, it was abandoned and the solar panels that had been placed on the White House were torn down by the incoming administration. Which to me sets the tone for how Republicans feel about alternative energies. They believe they are trash, something to be thrown away.

I hope Al Gore Changes his mind. He is the Democrats strongest candidate, and more importantly he is the man with a plan to keep our country from killing the planet. and to me, that is the bigger issue. We have got to leave this earth a better place for our children and their children.
I certainly don't want to envision our nieces and nephews and grandchildren having to walk around with bubbles around their heads because the air is unfit to breathe.. but that is where we are heading.. believe it or not.. it's true..

The Hurricanes of last year are a stong indication of how things are going, and we saw what those storms did. We are in trouble people.. and Al Gore may be the one man who can help us get out of it..

I urge each of you to find out where "An Inconvenient Truth" is playing in your area and go out and see the film. It is an important film for all of us.

Hugging Ponch

2006-06-02T12:37:00.000-07:00

This afternoon, I had to go upstairs out of my little cave of an office to get some info on a project I am working on .
As I am there talking to some of my co-workers.. two of the guys we work with come by, breathless and obviously looking for something and were about to bust with excitement.. they mumbled something in the form of a question as they were running by.. “Have you seen Erik Estrada”
We sort of just looked at them like they were perhaps smoking something.. or just generally insane.. our non-answer sent them packing.. and off they went..
It was more the way they said it.. kinda like.. “have you seen bob smith?” cause you know.. you see bob smith every day.. like seeing Erik Estrada was some every day occurrence for us.
We continued our conversation about the project, and then I began to leave.. I saw one of the women I work with coming towards me, or actually more like into the area that I was walking in, so I said.. “Hello Kathy” and as I looked to her immediate left, there .. was Erik Estrada.. “and hello Erik Estrada” I continued with just a beat.. I reached my hand out to shake his as his arm was outstretched.. as I shook his hand he pulled me in for a hug.. He smelled nice.. I turned to my co-worker and said… “Hey, they were serious, Erik Estrada really is here!” and everyone began coming around to meet him and say hello.
It was a most surreal afternoon ( no surreal life pun intended!)
Nice man.. very cute.. I loved Ponch!

And they are apparently making a movie of the tv series CHiPs.. starring “Fez” from “that 70’s show ” Wilmer Valderrama.. it won’t be the same

Happy Friday everyone! Nothing says "it's the weekend" like hugging your favorite TV cop! (ok favorite male tv cop.. Sharon Gless wasn't at the office today!)

BBQs, Wet Dog and spazzin

2006-05-30T22:30:00.000-07:00

Hope everyone had an enjoyable 3 day weekend for the holiday! Butter and I went to the local arts festival and had a great time! Then off to a holiday BBQ on sunday afternoon, where lots of old friends (and our newest friend, our lil baby!) had gathered.. we didn't anticipate staying as long as we did.. (sorry G&D) it was well after 11pm before we left.. but we were just chatting and laughing with friends and you know how time flies! Lots of babies there to play with too! One of them was a wee little boy who was about 2 who was the absolute biggest flirt! I loved him! But then I love babies!
Monday, Butter and I just planned to hang around the house, which we did.. but we were taken in by a Dairy Queen commercial late in the afternoon.. we looked at each other.. you know the look.. and keys were grabbed and off we went.. with our dog to get some ice cream!
On our drive, we went by the lake in our neighborhood.. our Neighbors were out with their kids swimming so we stopped by to say hello.
This pic was taken earlier.. not the day of.. just to give you an idea of where we were!

So our dog is AFRAID of water.. and I mean afraid.. any kind of water! bath water, squirt bottled water.. the hose.. a pool.. anything.. we took her out to a different lake once and she wouldn't even walk on the dock she was so afraid.. But we had her out with us at the "beach"

and she went over to drink some water.. to our absolute shock.. she let her paws get wet.. and then she started digging in the sand right in the water.. so we thought.. well, maybe its a good time to get her used to water.. Neither one of us were dressed for swimming.. but I went in up to my knees, threw some sticks in and we actually got her to SWIM! She was so excited and having such a good time! we are going to try to make it a recurring event so she gets used to the water.. Something traumatic must have happened to her before we got her.. cause I'm tellin ya she is really afraid of water.. I had the BBQ grill out on saturday and picked up the hose to water something and she nearly ran right into the grill trying to get away!
So we were excited that she seemed to be into playin in the water.. and also of course I played a bunch with the kids in the water too.. they were chasin me, and jumpin on my shoulders (not in a hard way or anything.. but like piggyback riding)
We had a blast but we were out there for hours when we hadn't planned on being out at all.. and since we had to both shower ourselves and give the dog a bath.. well.. no DQ for us.. But still had a blast!

Which brings me to the spazzin part.. I get to work tuesday morning and I am sitting in my office chair working, and talking with two of my co-workers.. and all of a sudden.. I got this pain underneath my right shoulder blade that felt like someone stabbed me. It felt like a muscle spasm, but it was SO intense I couldn't breathe, my co-worker looked really concerned and I apparently turned several different colors.. (technicolor biscuit!?) She asked if I needed an ambulance (I said no) and kept asking if I was ok.. I said yes, but no.. and I needed a second.. It wasn't getting any better.. but I mean.. what are ya gonna do right? I knew it was only a muscle spasm.. I just couldn't get it to calm down.. she got my bag and I took a muscle relaxant.. hoping that would do the trick.. She asked me if I wanted her to drive me to the ER (I must have looked like Hell I tell ya.... I again said no) It took a while but I finally could get a deep breath in.. I have to say I was a lil scared for a few minutes.. but it finally got to a semi manageable point..I couldn't lift my right arm up at all and I really needed to get some heat on it... of course.. there was nothing there that would be helpful.. she called the HR person to see if there was anything in the first aid kit..(there wasn't) so the HR person then came down.. asked if I had someone who could drive me home if I needed it (yes.. but wasn't planning on going home) and asked if she could do anything (short of a massage.. um.. no.. and I wasn't asking her for that!)

My co-worker who was right there with me the whole time was so concerned, so helpful (she actually did try to massage it out..and we joked about how we were probably breaking some harrassment rule) Finally she ran out to a local pharmacy and picked up a therma care wrap.. and it helped tremendously.. I was afraid every time I moved that I was going to set it off again.. fortunately though I didn't.. but wow.. it really affected my whole day.. and I think maybe it was the swimming around and playing with the kids that did it. So I got home and crashed on the couch with a heating pad and a Zanaflex for a few hours.. Butter made me dinner, which was wonderful (thank you honey) and I kinda just zoned in and out for a while..
So, that was my first day back at work after the long holiday weekend.... how was YOURS????

God Bless the Soldiers

Responding to Allie

from my comments section

I totally agree with your comments about Mary Cheney. I also have a question...Please dont be offended. If it is ok to be gay, why does the bible say its wrong. If everyone were gay or lesbian, how would we populate the world. I know orphanges are full, etc., but years from now what will happen. It just seems selfish that gays and lesbians would expect the strait people to reproduce so they could adopt. What are your views? Thank you, I'm just curious.

Allie,
why in the world would you think that everyone would be gay or lesbian?
God made all people.. and he made some of them different.. just as he made different cultures, different skin colors, different sexes, he also made us. I don't expect any straight person to reproduce solely so that I can adopt. However, with all of the children in foster care, it seems ridiculous that Gay people shouldn't be allowed to adopt, simply because someone is afraid that being gay may rub off on the child. There is no more silly argument than that. Both of my parents were straight, but that didn't rub off on me...
I'm not sure why you think that my personal life will effect the world in years to come, but I don't think any gay person you speak with would ever say that they would want the entire world to be gay. In fact quite the opposite.. if you were to ask any gay person if they would want their child to be gay, the resounding answer is NO.
No one would want to choose this life for their child, and many gay people have said that if they could choose they would have preffered not to be gay. It just doesn't work that way allie.
as for your comments about the bible.. I believe that the bible has been so diluted over the years, that we truly don't know exactly what it says. I will point you in the directon of a paper that was done several years ago written by a person named Loren Johns called .Homosexuality and the Bible A Case Study in the Use of the Bible for Ethics. It's quite a long read.. and I invite you to look at the website she has created, as it is put together a lot better than I could do here. It was a study for the mennonite church.

I appreciate your comments on my blog, but I also invite you to open your mind to an honest dialogue on the subject. here is my question to you. Why are Christians so concerned about homosexuals? It doesn't affect your life, quite frankly it has nothing to do with (you). Wasn't God's word to "love one another" ? He didn't say love one another, except for the homosexuals.. he said.. love one another.. period.
When I get to where I am going and I am called before my maker to answer for my life, then and only then will I be judged. And if my maker has a problem with the way I have lived my life, I am sure he will tell me.
( and a BIG shout out to Susan and her partner in Marietta!)

Although the Bible has little to say about homosexuality, the following passages may pertain.

accept homosexual unions

Genesis 19

The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2He said, "Please, my lords, turn aside to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you can rise early and go on your way." They said, "No; we will spend the night in the square." 3But he urged them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house; 5and they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them." 6Lot went out of the door to the men, shut the door after him, 7and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. 8Look, I have two daughters who have not known a man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof." 9But they replied, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came here as an alien, and he would play the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near the door to break it down. 10But the men inside reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11And they struck with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they were unable to find the door.
In later biblical tradition, Sodom and Gomorra were widely recognized symbols of immorality and of the judgment of God that falls on such immorality. Sodom and Gomorra are symbols of God's terrifying judgment in Deut. 29:23; Isa. 1:9-10; 13:19; Jer. 49:18; 50:40; Ezek. 16:53-58; Amos 4:11; Zeph. 2:9; Matt. 10:15; Luke 17:29; Rom. 9:29; 2 Pet. 2:6; Jude 7 ... symbols of shameless immorality or unbridled sin in general in Isa. 3:9; Lam. 4:6; Ezek; 16:48; Jude 7 ... and symbols of foolish impotent rebellion (or unresponsiveness) against God, see Deut. 32:32; Jer. 23:14; Matt. 11:23-24; Luke 10:12; Rev. 11:8. The word sodomite has become, in the English language, a synonym for one who engages in certain kinds of (male) homosexual acts. For instance, the New American Standard Bible uses sodomites in 1 Kings 22:46 to refer to male cult prostitutes. This passage does not speak to "loving" same-sex relations because it does not conceive of same-sex relations as potentially loving. Instead, it associates same-sex relations with evil desire deserving of God's most severe judgment.
Although nonsexual interpretations of this passage appear in Jer. 23;14, Ezek. 16:49-50, Wisdom of Solomon 10:8; Sirach 16:82; Jubilees 13:17 and the Babylonian Talmud (Sanh. 109a; Ket. 103a; BB 12b; Ab 5.10, and Erub. 49c), sexual interpretations of Genesis 19 appear to predominate in 2 Peter 2:6-10; Jude 7; Jubilees (7:20-21); 16:5-6; 20:5-6; 1 Enoch 10:4; 34:1-2; and in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (Naph. 3:4-5; 4:1; Asher 7:1; Benjamin 9:1; Levi 14:6); 3 Macc. 2:3; Philo's De Abr. 26:134-136; Josephus's Ant. 1.200 (cf. Contra Apionem 2.199); and Gen. Rabbah 50:7.
The inhabitants of Sodom displayed the most despicable form of sexual immorality. Nevertheless, this passage cannot be construed as condemning loving, committed, monogamous homosexual relationships. The sin displayed in this story is the sin of homosexual (gang) rape, possessive lust, and sexual abuse. Homosexuality itself is not the focus of these cities' later notoriety within the biblical tradition--at least not in all cases (see the passages listed in the middle column). This is aptly demonstrated in Ezekiel 16:49: "This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy." And in v. 51, Ezekiel says that in comparison with sinful Judah, Sodom and Gomorra were righteous. Some Jewish writings indicate that the sinful desire behind the Sodomites' lust for Lot's guests was because they were angels, not because they were men (see Testament of Naphtali 3:4-5). This story reflects the sacred value placed in Middle Eastern culture on hospitality. It is a responsibility so sacred that Lot would rather offer his virgin daughters to his ravenous neighbors than the strangers he feels obligated to protect. That sodomite has become synonymous with certain homosexual acts does not pertain to the ethical issue of the propriety of loving, committed homosexual relationships. "Sodomites" are condemned in several Old Testament texts not because the male prostitutes were having sex with other males, but because they were serving alien gods as part of the Canaanite fertility cult.
To use Genesis 19 as a means to condemn homosexuality makes as little sense as using 2 Sam. 13 as a means to condemn heterosexuality.

Leviticus 18

19You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness. 20You shall not have sexual relations with your kinsman's wife, and defile yourself with her. 21You shall not give any of your offspring to sacrifice them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD. 22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23You shall not have sexual relations with any animal and defile yourself with it, nor shall any woman give herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it: it is perversion.
This passage says that homosexual intercourse is an abomination and a perversion -- a perversion as bad as bestiality, or having sex with a woman while she's having her period, or child sacrifice, or adultery. There is no passage in the Bible that is clearer than, "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." This is a direct commandment prohibiting homosexual unions. This passage clearly associates homosexuality with perversion, including committed, loving same-sex relationships. Any "face-value" reading of the Bible must admit that Leviticus 18:22 prohibits sexual intercourse between men. Loving, committed relationships are not in view here. The author is addressing the sin of having sex for its own sake (i.e., using another person, or animal, to meet one's own selfish sexual needs). The context also makes clear that these are purity regulations designed to keep holy Israel separate from unholy Canaan. In light of Jesus' rejection of purity codes and their effect of separating people groups, the Christian church no longer takes purity codes literally. Anyone who would claim that Leviticus 18:22 is clear and should regulate Christian ethical practice today needs to explain how or on what basis other regulations in the Holiness Code (Lev. 17-26) should not regulate Christian ethical practice today (cf. Lev. 20:9-16, 27; 24:16). It is not legitimate to willy-nilly pick and choose which verses one wants to take seriously and which one does not.
Leviticus 20

10If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death. 11The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall be put to death; their blood is upon them. 12If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death; they have committed perversion, their blood is upon them. 13If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them. 14If a man takes a wife and her mother also, it is depravity; they shall be burned to death, both he and they, that there may be no depravity among you. 15If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he shall be put to death; and you shall kill the animal. 16If a woman approaches any animal and has sexual relations with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them.
Lev. 20:13 says that homosexual intercourse is an abomination worthy of the death penalty for both partners. Such a thing is as bad as adultery, or having sex with one's stepmother, or having sex with one's daughter-in-law, or being married to a woman and that woman's mother at the same time, or having sex with an animal. Even though the passage suggests that homosexuals should be killed--something the church today should not do--the passage clearly calls homosexual intercourse an abomination and that persons who engage in such acts must be held accountable for his actions. The same considerations apply here as those above. A literal interpretation of this passage would require the death penalty for homosexual intercourse! Does the church wish seriously to propose this? On what basis do we answer this? According to the interpretation to the left, this passage could be taken to imply that other, more "natural" forms of bigamy or polygamy are okay. Within the Hebrew Bible itself we see a debate about purity issues in sexual or biological terms. Deut. 23:1-3 says, "No one whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall be admitted to the assembly of the LORD. Those born of an illicit union shall not be admitted.... Even to the tenth generation, none of their descendants shall be admitted.... No Ammonite or Moabite shall be admitted.... Even to the tenth generation, none of their descendants shall be admitted to the assembly of the LORD." However, see also Ruth 4:17 and Isa. 56:4-5 for differing perspectives. The point is that the Levitical prohibitions against homosexual intercourse fit squarely in the same Old Testament purity concern that Deut. 23:1-8 does and that Jesus condemns in the New Testament.
Judges 19

16Then at evening there was an old man coming from his work in the field. The man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah. (The people of the place were Benjaminites.) 17When the old man looked up and saw the wayfarer in the open square of the city, he said, "Where are you going and where do you come from?" 18He answered him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote parts of the hill country of Ephraim, from which I come. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; and I am going to my home. Nobody has offered to take me in. 19We your servants have straw and fodder for our donkeys, with bread and wine for me and the woman and the young man along with us. We need nothing more." 20The old man said, "Peace be to you. I will care for all your wants; only do not spend the night in the square." 21So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys; they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

22While they were enjoying themselves, the men of the city, a perverse lot, surrounded the house, and started pounding on the door. They said to the old man, the master of the house, "Bring out the man who came into your house, so that we may have intercourse with him." 23And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. Since this man is my guest, do not do this vile thing. 24Here are my virgin daughter and his concubine; let me bring them out now. Ravish them and do whatever you want to them; but against this man do not do such a vile thing." 25But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine, and put her out to them. They wantonly raped her, and abused her all through the night until the morning. And as the dawn began to break, they let her go. 26As morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, until it was light.

27In the morning her master got up, opened the doors of the house, and when he went out to go on his way, there was his concubine lying at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 28“Get up,” he said to her, “we are going.” But there was no answer. Then he put her on the donkey; and the man set out for his home. 29When he had entered his house, he took a knife, and grasping his concubine he cut her into twelve pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel. 30Then he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, “Thus shall you say to all the Israelites, 'Has such a thing ever happened since the day that the Israelites came up from the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak out.'"
As with the story of Sodom and Gomorra above, the "perverse" men of Gibeah are portrayed as desiring homosexual intercourse. Here again, homosexuality is equated with perverseness. Even though this may not be a tale about homosexuality as such, the connection between perverse lust and homosexuality is not incidental.
As with the story of Sodom and Gomorra above, this story has nothing to do with whether loving, committed monogamous homosexual or lesbian relationships are blessed by God, but rather with the perversity of gang rape, wanton lust, and (even worse, in that society), the sin of inhospitality. As in the story of Sodom and Gomorra, the old man's willingness to offer to his neighbors his own virgin daughter as well as his guest's concubine (sex slave) is portrayed as a noble thing to do -- a self-sacrificial recognition of the sacredness of hospitality to the stranger. In other words, the story underlines the heroic maintenance of the cultural tradition of hospitality as a sacred trust. This is a horrible and terrifying story -- horrible for its cavalier acceptance of the violence toward women that such a patriarchal society could produce. Biblical interpreters today have an obligation to stress that the moral lesson intended by this passage is not that patriarchal violence is legitimate, but that hospitality toward the stranger is a sacred trust. But even with such an interpretation, modern readers of the text cannot merely excuse the text's apparent disregard for women or its implicit but terrifying acceptance of the "use" of women for sexual purposes. Thus, a proper appropriation of this terrifying and terrible story may be that believers in Yahweh have an obligation to take in and protect dishonored strangers. In our society, that would include any oppressed majority, such as women, or any persecuted minority, whether blacks or Asians or Hispanics or gays and lesbians themselves or persons with AIDS.
1 Samuel 18

1When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.2Saul took him [David] that day and would not let him return to his father's house.3Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. 4Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.

1 Samuel 20

17Thus Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the LORD seek out the enemies of David." 18 Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own life. ... 41As soon as the boy had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. He bowed three times, and they kissed each other, and wept with each other; David wept the more.

2 Samuel 1

25How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan lies slain upon your high places.26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; greatly beloved were you to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
David's relationship with Jonathan was clearly a very special and close relationship. Although 2 Samuel 1:26 compares the love David had for Jonathan with the love between a man and a woman, nothing is said explicitly about whether this love was sexual or whether they expressed their love in sexually explicit ways. It may be that we see evidence here of a different social ordering of relationships in Hebrew society than we we know today. How many straight men today would be willing to use this sort of "love-explicit" language toward one another? There is no evidence that David and Jonathan's relationship should be or can be "sexualized." Their love for each other was deep -- but innocent.
It is common in North America to sexualize relationships. In other cultures men may occasionally walk about holding hands as an indication of their affection and trust in each other without any implication of sexual or romantic love. If North Americans see a romantic or sexual relationship in the relationship between David and Jonathan, it is due more to society's influence than to the actual relationship between David and Jonathan. If modern readers see "sexual relationship" in this story, it is because they have sexual things on their mind. David's relationship with Jonathan was clearly a very special and close relationship. In fact, this is one of the greatest love stories in the Bible. 2 Samuel 1:26 explicitly compares the love David had for Jonathan with the love between a man and a woman. Although nothing is said about whether this love was expressed in sexually explicit ways, it is clear that there was an intimacy and an emotional investment between the two that went beyond typical friendship. They loved each other so much that they made a "covenant" with each other (1Sam. 18:3). Jonathan even did what was common to most eastern Mediterranean love affairs: he gave David gifts (1 Sam. 18:4). As The Message puts it, "Jonathan, out of his deep love for David, made a covenant with him. He formalized it with solemn gifts: his own royal robe and weapons—armor, sword, bow, and belt." When Jonathan died, David not only called Jonathan's love more wonderful than the love of women, he also called Jonathan "beloved" (twice) and "lovely" (2 Sam. 1:23, 26). If modern readers do not see "sexual relationship" in this story, it is because they cannot accept the plain implications of the story itself.
That David and Jonathan's relationship was sexual may explain Saul's words when he reacted in outrage, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?” (1 Sam. 20:30). Nowhere in the Bible do we find such strong language celebrating the love between persons of the same gender.
As the Human Sexuality in the Christian Life study guide makes clear, we are sexual beings. Thus, this relationship had sexual overtones even if David and Jonathan did not engage in certain kinds of sexual activity with each other. Nevertheless, "sexual activity" is not important here; what is important is that David and Jonathan had a deeply satisfying and intimate love for each other that is explicitly compared to the love experienced between a man and a woman. At no point does the text imply that this love was improper or that God disapproved of it.

[Jesus said nothing about gays, lesbians, or homosexuality as such.]
The most natural interpretation of Jesus' silence on the matter is that Jesus simply accepted the prevailing Jewish convictions of his day and disapproved of homosexual relationships. In Jewish tradition, homosexuality was not tolerated. Either Jesus implicitly approved of homosexual relationships, but later church tradition did not know this or suppressed that memory, or he did not consider the issue as important as some other issues, such as the role of money in people's lives. In any case, one cannot "argue from silence" to suggest that Jesus condemned homosexuality.
Matthew 18

15“If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. 16But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
Although this text does not deal with human sexuality, it does deal with the matter of how the church should deal with loosing and binding -- the process of discipling brothers and sisters in the church, which inevitably entails some discernment about right and wrong within the church. While it places congregational discernment squarely in the context of discipleship, thus suggesting that the church's authority is limited in both time and space, it does imply that God honors and blesses the discernment process in a radical way. Thus, the church's responsibility to hear the voice of the Spirit in the process of ethical discernment is on the highest order. Even more radically, the text suggests that God will honor the discernment process of the church even if it should make a decision that in another time or place will be deemed to have been the "wrong" decision.
In the face of a liberal and relativistic society that accepts no absolutes, this passage makes it clear that it is the responsibility of the church to engage in church discipline--not for the sake of the purity of the church, but for the sake of the calling of the church. This text clearly reflects a high view of the church. Even if it does suggest that God might somehow honor a "wrong" or flawed discernment process, the church must not yield to the temptation to speak too quickly or easily for God. It is precisely because God honors the discernment process of the church that the church must be very slow and cautious to make pronouncements about God's will about controversial issues. Furthermore, some room must be made for the courageous individual who is willing to take a stand against a corrupt church -- whether that be a more conservative individual willing to take a stand against a more liberal church, or a more liberal individual willing to take a stand against a more conservative church. In other words, Matthew 18:15-20 simply does not help with or skirt the responsibility to take a long and careful approach to ethical discernment in the church. On the contrary, it requires it.
Matthew 19

3Some Pharisees came to him, and to test him they asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?" 4He answered, "Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning `made them male and female,' 5and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? 6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." 7They said to him, "Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?" 8He said to them, "It was because you were so hard-hearted that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery."

10His disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry." 11But he said to them, "Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. 12For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can." [A possible paraphrase of v. 12: "Some people have no choice about expressing their sexuality genitally; for some that choice has been taken away by other people; and still others have chosen to refrain from such 'fulfillment' for the sake of God's reign."]
In Jesus' teaching about marriage and divorce, he consistently emphasizes the permanence of the marriage covenant. His disciples' reaction show that Jesus' approach requires the kind of commitment that empowered women in that society to such an extent that men may have second thoughts about getting married at all. Thus, Jesus is saying that our sexual identity is never fully determinative of "who we are." Whether we are straight or gay, we can be quite healthy spiritually and emotionally without sexual self-expression of the genital variety. Jesus is therefore calling for celibacy as an honorable (perhaps the honorable?) option for both heterosexuals and homosexuals. In any case, this passage seems to condemn contemporary society's fixation with sexuality or the suggestion that one cannot be fulfilled or happy unless one is expressing oneself in a sexual relationship. The traditional Catholic condemnation of birth control fits well with the argument that since gays and lesbians cannot procreate naturally, God must not accept such relationships as legitimate. Jesus' quotation of the "one flesh" statement from Genesis shows that the significance of marriage in God's plan has more to do with love and the lasting nature of the marriage covenant itself than it does with sexual fulfillment or the "natural" biological "fit" of heterosexual intercourse.
Jesus emphasizes that "not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given" by stating it twice, in vv. 11 and v. 12d. Why this emphasis? What is the significance of this repetition? Is Jesus saying that sexual self-expression is a deeply personal and spiritual issue and that although God's will may be that gays, lesbians, and heterosexuals ideally remain celibate, the church should freely accept those who cannot themselves accept that sort of "imposed" celibacy?
Protestants emphasize that the main purpose of sexual intercourse within marriage is the expression of mutual love, regardless of actual or potential procreation. Consistent with this emphasis is the use of birth control and the approval of homosexual intercourse (within a covenanted relationship) as an expression of love untied to procreation. Thus, the traditional Protestant acceptance of birth control fits with the argument that sexuality is blessed by God totally apart from whether it results in -- or could result in -- offspring.
Acts 10

9About noon the next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat; and while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11He saw the heaven opened and something like a large sheet coming down, being lowered to the ground by its four corners. 12In it were all kinds of four-footed creatures and reptiles and birds of the air. 13Then he heard a voice saying, "Get up, Peter; kill and eat." 14But Peter said, "By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is profane or unclean." 15The voice said to him again, a second time, "What God has made clean, you must not call profane." 16This happened three times, and the thing was suddenly taken up to heaven.

17Now while Peter was greatly puzzled about what to make of the vision that he had seen, suddenly the men sent by Cornelius appeared. They were asking for Simon's house and were standing by the gate. 18They called out to ask whether Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there. 19While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men are searching for you. 20Now get up, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them."
This passage about the opening of the Gentile mission has nothing to do with purity regarding sexual issues. That is, while it seems designed to pull down certain kinds of barriers between people groups based on purity issues, it does not imply that sexual concerns specifically qualify as a "purity" issue that can now be safely ignored. In fact, there is plenty of evidence from elsewhere in the New Testament that responsible choices are still necessary in the area of our sexuality despite the freedom we have in Christ (cf. Matt. 15:19; Acts 15:20,29; 21:25; 1 Cor. 5; 6:18; 7:2; 10:8; 12:21; Gal. 5:19; Col. 3:5; 1 Thess. 4:3; Jude 7). This passage is about the barriers that divide people based on "purity" issues. Jesus himself was severely condemned by his contemporaries for not abiding by the societal protocols that were based on purity issues (Luke 7:31-50; Mark 7:1-23). Furthermore, Jesus seemed particularly sensitive to the ways in which people concerned about sexual purity sometimes build unjust barriers between people in a subtly idolatrous attempt to justify themselves. Such a temptation to point the finger at the "other" usually does not reflect God's love (cf. John 7:53-8:11). Jesus is just as concerned about this kind of hard-heartedness as he is about the sexual activity in question. In this case, God is asking Peter to reconsider something that Peter had deeply believed for all of his life: that purity was central to God's concern and that for him to be accepted by God, he must avoid contact with Gentiles. This was not an easy lesson for Peter to learn, but God was patient with him. This may not be an easy lesson for today's church to learn, but perhaps God will be patient with us.
Romans 1

18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of those who by their wickedness suppress the truth. 19For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse; 21for though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools; 23and they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling a mortal human being or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves, 25because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

28And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things that should not be done. 29They were filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, craftiness, they are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, rebellious toward parents, 31foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32They know God's decree, that those who practice such things deserve to die -- yet they not only do them but even applaud others who practice them.
Here Paul seems to equate homosexuality with ungodliness, wickedness, and idolatry. This wickedness expresses itself in a perverse confusion between creation (us) and creator (God). Paul makes no distinction between abusive or hierarchical homosexuality (e.g., pederasty) and so-called "loving" homosexuality. This is because Paul sees homosexuality as inherently exploitative (i.e., it requires an aggressor and a more effeminate partner). Paul says nothing about loving homosexuality because he denies that such a thing exists, not because he is unaware of the possibility. In fact, ancient writings demonstrate that the idea of a homosexual orientation existed in Paul's time.
The fact that the term homosexuality as such does not appear in the New Testament says nothing about its ethical propriety. There simply was no term available in Greek that referred to homosexuality specifically as a loving, committed relationship between equals. Because of this, one cannot make much of the absence of such a term. The proper interpretation of Romans 1 is that Paul is using homosexuality as such as an example of the "ungodliness and wickedness" of humanity. Paul's main concern here is the proper relationship between Creator and creature. The use and abuse of sexuality is one of the symptoms of such a confusion. Although it may appear to the heterosexual world that homosexual sex is the prime example of depravity, both homosexual and heterosexual sex can reflect such a confusion. What Paul condemns here is "pederasty," the (homosexual) domination of one person over another -- specifically, that of an older man over a younger boy. This is why Paul associates such ungodliness with insatiable lust and immorality, not because he is making a statement about the abusive or exploitative nature of homosexuality as such. Paul assumes here that homosexual behavior is something freely chosen, a purposeful violation of the created order. It appears, therefore, that he is simply unaware of the distinction between homosexuality as an orientation and as a behavior. In context, Paul is not condemning the Romans for tolerating homosexuals in their midst, but rather is using a typical Jewish stereotype about Gentile sexual promiscuity to make his central point: that all people -- Jew and Gentile alike -- are in desperate need of God. Paul treats homosexual intercourse not as one of the "sins" of the Gentiles, but one of the consequences of their root sin: refusing to let the one true God be their God. Paul apparently knew nothing about the complexity of homosexuality and the multiple causes of it and nowhere does Paul show awareness of a loving mutual homosexual relationship that is not exploitative or abusive. We should refrain from imposing Paul's statements about homosexuality directly on our situation today without taking this into account. Nevertheless, Paul's fundamental concerns about homosexuality are as valid today as ever: whenever homo- or hetero- sexuality expresses itself as (a) a surrender to one's own lusts; (b) an ungrateful misappropriation of God's creation; or (c) exploitation of another person -- such sexual activity is morally wrong.
1 Corinthians 6

9Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, 10thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers-none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And this is what some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
There is some evidence that some loving homosexual relationships begin with or eventually evolve into one in which one partner is more the aggressor and the other more passive. Thus, Paul's terms do not necessarily assume an inherently unloving or unequal partnership. "This is what some of you used to be" implies that some of the Corinthians had been, but were no longer, gay or lesbian. This further suggests that homosexual activity belongs to the unredeemed, pre-Christian, life and that it has no part in the life of the born-again Christian. This passage admittedly is not about homosexuality as such, but it is about immorality, of which homosexuality is an example. The two Greek words translated "male prostitutes" and "sodomites" in v. 9 of the NRSV are malakoi and arsenokoitai. Malakoi means "effeminate," "weak," or "soft" and is the word used of "call-boys" whom older men (arsenokoitai) took to bed. (The latter term is also the one used in 1 Tim. 1:10, which appears in another list of vices.) The context here in 1 Cor. is one of heterosexual immorality; homosexuality as such is not the topic at hand. Paul simply mentions the sort of abusive, exploitative homosexuality that goes on between young "call-boys" and their customers as one example of the sort of immorality Christians in Corinth should avoid. "This is what some of you used to be" implies only that some of the Corinthians were guilty of some of the vices Paul mentioned. Not much more can be made of this.
[In summary, the Bible says nothing explicitly positive about homosexuality, and what it does say is almost exclusively negative or critical.]
Since everything the Bible says explicitly about homosexuality is negative, we should "play it safe" and go with what is explicit rather than take the "gray areas" too seriously. The Bible does not often explicitly address slavery, either, or the propriety of women in leadership. We rightly condemn slavery today because we see that the biblical teachings about justice, love, and human dignity provide a trajectory consistent with the condemnation of slavery. In a similar way, the trajectories of biblical teaching suggest that we should accept gays and lesbians as equal partners in the church. "Playing it safe" is what the conservative slave owners wanted to do.

Mary Cheney

2006-05-21T20:19:00.000-07:00

So that there is no confusion, let me be clear.
I despise Mary Cheney.
It’s not a strong dislike.
I actually despise her.

And I don't feel that way about many people. I have absolutely no respect for her.
Now, Ms. Cheney has come out with a book that chronicles how tough it has been for her to be a lesbian when her father is part of the most hateful administration this country has ever seen. I'm sure that it must have been a difficult thing. But that is where my empathy for her stops. She worked diligently to make sure that her father and bush were re-elected in 2004. And now we are supposed to feel sorry for her? I don't think so.
Suuuure now her father says that he is against the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, but.. What is he DOING about it? NOTHING. He sits back and says nothing and does nothing and allows Mr. Bush to run roughshod over the constitutional rights of gay Americans. Being Complicit and just allowing it to happen is no better than going out and campaigning for it.
Now Mary Cheney wants us to know that it has been so very difficult for her.. She won’t comment when asked if she thinks that every day gay folk might be upset with her for not speaking out sooner (and for doing it in a book, stead of going out and TALKING about it. Most overheard answer in every Mary Cheney interview this week "well you'll have to read the book". Or "it's in the book". Also cause she doesn't want to make "sweeping generalizations" about gay people. Even though the people in her party make sweeping generalizations about gay people all the time.)

I'm sure it must have been difficult having a father who is the evil ruler of a corporatist America, that is bordering on Facism more and more every day.. One has to wonder why now Mary Cheney? Why now? Are we trying to somehow soften the image of the GOP by making them seem, "not so bad" cause they let you be a part of them?
I'm not sure how she wakes up and looks at herself, or her partner every day. And what about that life partner of hers.. What self-respecting lesbian would be her partner to begin with? As an out lesbian, many of us have worked for YEARS to get lesbians, gays and transgender folks equal rights under the laws of this country, and we have slid backwards considerably since Bush and Cheney have been in office. We have been under attack for 6 years now.
It must be ok to be gay if you are the rich white daughter of the vice president.. But the rest of us all can go straight to hell. Does Mary Cheney feel sorry for us?
Does she feel bad about the position she has put many of her gay friends in? (Does she HAVE any gay friends?) I just don't understand how any self respecting Lesbian could go out and actively work for a campaign that is so hate filled and made their PLATFORM one of divisiveness and hate for gay Americans. I mean they don't just tolerate it. They CAMPAIGN for it. THAT to me is a big difference.
So, I asked myself. What if it was me?
I can't say that I would react the same way.
I can love my father and not agree with his politics. In fact, I DO love my father and don't agree with his politics.
We aren't talking about some tiny little issue that we would disagree with. We are talking about a father who would be a part of making policy that would adversely affect millions of Americans. If Mary Cheney were a black woman and her father sat by and wanted his administration to pass a constitutional amendment that stated that it was illegal for African Americans to marry. Would she feel the same way?

The analogy that I was thinking of involves, for example if my father was the VP and I had been a doctor, but gave it all up to work for him, and say my wife’s father was a doctor. And Suddenly the president decided that all doctors were bad. Now, we all know that there is nothing wrong with doctors, cause of course, I am one. But for some reason the prez had a bee in his bonnet about doctors.

So, they decided to write in a constitutional amendment banning doctors from practicing in the US. Stupid yes, but just as stupid as a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. So, my dad, knowing full well that there is nothing wrong with doctors, knowing me as is daughter, and having spent time with my wife and her family, doesn’t agree with this harebrained scheme, but does nothing to stop it. And since I work my dad and it’s kind of my job. I don’t speak out against it either even though I am a doctor too. That amendment would be really hurtful to doctors and their families. And it is a ridiculous idea. But the will of the president must go forth. So it continues.
The policies and the general tone of the country created by this administration makes it ok to hate a gay person.. By sitting back and saying nothing both mary and dick perpetuate this atmosphere.. It's the kind of thing that makes people like Fred Phelps think it's OK for them to picket funerals, or spit on people like me because I am not worthy to be in his presence. Heck not worthy of being alive.. So I take these things very seriously. Until you have been spat upon by Phelps and his gang of thugs, as I have, one really can't tell me that I should be feeling anything but contempt for these people.

Flash forward to a book I am writing about how difficult my life is having been a doctor and not understanding why doctors everywhere have no respect for me and why doctors across America don’t understand why I didn’t speak out.
That is sort of how I see it on a grander scale.

Mary Cheney is part of a group of Americans who are attacked, oppressed and misunderstood. The Republican Party is one who likes to make one issue the lightning rod of their campaign. The past two campaigns have been gay marriage.

I was asked if I was going to read Mary Cheney's book. The answer there is a resounding NO. I have no desire to hear how "difficult" it was for her. If she wants to read my book about how difficult it was to live as a lesbian under her father's rule. Then perhaps I could read it, until then it is nothing more to me than kindling for a nice fire.

BEA!

2006-05-15T22:43:00.000-07:00

This past weekend since we chilled out while I was recuperating.. we watched a couple of movies.. "big momma's house 2" and AEON FLUX.. now I had been wanting to see aeon flux for a while.. I love Charlize Theron.. and this looked like a cool action adventure movie.. After watching it.. we agreed that it was simply a medium for Charlize to look hot.. the movie itself wasn't all that great.. though it was nice to see martin Csokas in a role outside of Xena.. as we were talking about the movie.. we were throwing out names.. like.. I think that movie was made just so Charlize could run around and look hot.. it wouldn't have been as good if say, Roseanne Barr was the lead".. and of course I spun around and said "or Bea Arthur"
Cause really I can put Bea into any situation!
So that got me thinking.. in a fun twisted way... what if Bea had been the lead in Aeon Flux.. My friend then said it would be "Beon Flux" and so this is what I have come up with!

I'll probably fix the graphic part of it.. but it was just crackin me up and I had to share.

Spring Flowers!

2006-05-14T18:37:00.000-07:00

Feeling a little better today.. ventured outside where Butter planted some flowers in our garden and we did some basic cleaning of weeds and such..
Put some Petunias in the flowerbox.

here's a close up.. they are a deep purple

moved on to the back of the hosta garden behind butter's beloved UGA Bulldog.. where our dog couldn't decide between helping and giving kisses!

So we planted some stuff and did some cleaning.. and spent the evening chillin and watching the survivor finale.. have to say that it hasn't been the best season of all the survivor seasons. It has actually sucked..
but we are just chillin tonight cause we've been running ever weekend for the past few months.. so it is a continued weekend of rest.. back to the doctor in the morning and then on to work to catch up on stuff that has most likely piled up since I was out last week.
more later folks

2006-05-08T19:28:00.000-07:00

well.. I had hoped to post some good news here..

last friday, emmy nominations came out.. I had passed the last round where they decide what goes in for the judging .. it wasn't anything I did by myself.. it was a group effort.. but it wasn't to be..
I've been hoping for another one for a long time.. so my little trophy sits all by its lonesome.. waiting for the day a mate will come along....(those angel wings are sharp too.. I once had a dream that I stabbed someone that had broken into my house with them.)

In other news.. this weekend was great fun.. we went out for cinco de mayo to our favorite mexican place, a former 50's diner that was taken over by the mexican place.. but they didn't redo the decor.. so we call it the mexican 50's diner.
unfortunately there was a rather long wait.. so since we were meeting friends, and we were all hungry... we opted for the next best place.. an irish pub.. nothing like celebrating cinco de mayo at an irish pub!
Saturday it was football!
and sunday was cards and billiards with our neighbors.. and off to see our lil girl sunday night.. she is cuter by the day!
It was a great weekend of friends and hugs and love..
what could be better.. certainly no trophy..

Friday night date throwback!

2006-04-29T10:51:00.000-07:00

Last night.. butter and I joined a few friends for the Trader Vic's party at the Starlight Drive In!!
The theme?
Salute to the Beach Party!
But first, the party before the beach party.. This place was ROCKIN! there was a live band and people were cooking out.

cars decorated in the tiki fare and some even brought out the candleabras!

also to really kick it up there was a live band that performed until the sun went down!

Butter had tricked out the SUV to make it drive in ready!

Lots and lots of fun beach party era movie trailers!

Butter had NEVER been to a drive in before.. so this was all a new experience for her.. She had so much fun she wants to go back tonight! don't know if that will happen but we definitely are going to make it out there more often. One weekend a year they have an all weekend event called
DRIVE INVASION!!
There are bands, a car show, appearances by B-movie celebrities, vendors, hula dancers and loads of fun!
Trader Vic's (or trailer vic's as they were calling it last night) were serving drinks in bamboo shoots that looked like cups.. we simply HAD to get one as a souvenir!
it was a little dark and hard to get a picture but here is the big screen!

and here we are enjoying the show.. not a great shot I know.. but hey it's hard to take pictures of yourself!!

It was a FABulous date.. and the crowd was much larger than I expected, and it was a quite diverse crowd at that.. families, goths, gays, rednecks, gypsies, tramps and thieves....:)
We didn't stay all the way through the second show though.. the second feature.. "white savage" just wasn't appealing to us..
but.. scary movie and date movie will be next on our drive in date card! If you have a drive in near you make it a date with the one you love!

Answered prayers.. and a really good song

2006-04-26T17:27:00.000-07:00

the best news I could ever give.. Lillian is home..
after some harrowing nights for her parents and I'm sure for her too.. the meds are finally working.. I went to visit her last friday night and she looked like she was feeling much better.. as of this writing.. she is home, after requesting french fries for dinner.. I think everyone knew she was feeling better.
she still has some surgery in a few weeks, but at least she will be stronger then.. and it isn't emergent.
I can't tell you how happy everybody is.
Thank you all for all of the prayers.. from places as far away as brazil and australia.. She had so many people pulling for her.. The complete turnaround in her condition leaves me only to believe in divine intervention.
So thank you all so very much..

and if you havne't heard Pink sing "Dear Mr. President" I HIGHLY suggest you check it out.. Rosie O'Donnell used it as the background to a video she did.. you can hear the studio verion (with the indigo girls backing vocals) HERE

if you would like to see the live performance go HERE
it would be so great if on one day at a specific time.. EVERYONE who questions what this administration is about would BLARE this song from every car, house, business in the US..

prayers and good thoughts..

2006-04-18T11:04:00.000-07:00

Spring has Sprung!

2006-04-10T16:57:00.000-07:00

and so has the pollen!
I have been having the worst allergies for the past couple of weeks.. which has turned into a raging sinus infection.. which sounds all nice and yummy cept it's settled in my ears.. so my equilibrium is way off.. you might as well call me "wobble" cause that's what I've been doin.
Haven't been around much as I have mostly been hangin our on my buddy Ross Mathews' blog..

Anyone who watches the Tonight show with Jay Leno, would know Ross from his celebrity segments and various other amusing bits that he has done over the years. He totally cracks me up and I love reading his musings every day!
So check him out!
There is all kinds of political bullshit going on, but I am saving that for another day.. So head out and enjoy the spring.. just make sure you flonase before you do!
My truck is a nice shade of yellow from all of the pollen.. it's everywhere.. you can't avoid it!
I never had allergies till I moved to Georgia.. now not a season goes by where my eyes don't water for a reason other than a sappy movie!
peace out

NRTMN... THE CHICKS ARE BAAAAACK!!!!!

2006-03-24T15:47:00.000-08:00

If you haven't heard all the brouhaha about the new Dixie Chicks single.. (and many of you may never even hear it since country radio has a stick up it's ass and still refuses to play it.. even though Natalie was right and we should all be ashamed to call GWB not only a texan, but I would venture to say an american.. and the jury is still out on human being)
So, head yourself over to the DC web site and turn up your speakers and take a listen to
Not Ready To Make Nice

a little tale of a girl.. and the people who vowed to kill her..well sorta

DIXIE CHICKS HOMEPAGE

Pastor slain

2006-03-24T15:44:00.000-08:00

Sad story about the wife who killed her husband and took off with the 3 girls..
When asked why she did it, police wouldn't say.
specifically when they asked if it was infidelity, they said no. However when they asked if it was because of abuse, they had no comment.
Now, I'm not saying that the pastor did anything to his family.. but look at the family photo and tell me what is wrong with the picture. It's pretty obvious..
but tell me what you see. here is a link to the article.. will post the pic when I get home later..

DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!

2006-03-24T11:10:00.000-08:00

FROM VARIOUS NEWS REPORTS:
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Randy Walker swears he would have died
from his diabetes after Hurricane Katrina had a sheriff not seized
two FEMA trucks filled with ice and distributed it to residents,
many of whom had to keep their insulin cold.
Now, that sheriff could be prosecuted on charges of interfering
with a federal operation.
Forrest County Sheriff Billy McGee commandeered two 18-wheelers
full of ice from Camp Shelby, a Federal Emergency Management Agency
staging area, after five days passed with little relief for
residents living without electricity in the wake of the deadly
storm.
"Man, I was wanting to hug Brother Billy when I saw that ice.
We were glad somebody was there to help us," Walker, who would not
give his age, said Wednesday.
McGee had worked out a deal to plead guilty to a misdemeanor
charge of interfering, intimidating and impeding a federal officer,
but U.S. Attorney Dunn Lampton withdrew from the case without
explanation and the Justice Department sent it to federal
prosecutors in Louisiana.
U.S. Attorney David R. Dugas in Baton Rogue, La., said he has
not decided whether to prosecute McGee.
McGee and his attorney declined a request for an interview.
The ice trucks had been sitting idle at Camp Shelby, a National
Guard base just south of Hattiesburg, before the sheriff ordered
them sent to the towns of Petal and Brooklyn on Sept. 4. McGee has
said his deputies detained a National Guard soldier who tried to
interfere.
Residents of Forrest County have circulated a petition in
support of McGee, who has been in office since 1991, and some have
collected money for his defense.
"If it hadn't been for him, I'd be dead right now and I know
that," Walker said. "I'll go to court for him or whatever it
takes. I don't want to let him down as much as he has done for
me."
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., a critic of the federal
government's response to Katrina, has urged the Justice Department
not to pursue the case.
The congressman said he is "convinced that there's not a jury
in the state of Mississippi that would convict the sheriff for
doing what he did under the circumstances."
Even though Forrest County is some 60 miles inland, the
hurricane downed trees and destroyed roofs, and the power was out
for weeks in much of the area.
__
Are you F-ing kidding me? the guy moved ICE that was SITTING UNUSED.. and now they are going to prosecute him???
Wouldn't his being the sherrif give him some sort of authority to do so.. it isn't like a private citizen commandeered the truck.. I APPLAUDE billy.. and am now going to send this on to others... perhaps some attention will get this ridiculous charge dismissed.

Why I love...

Kelly Clarkson... As far as I am concerned.. they can have American Idol from here to 2099. Kelly IS the American Idol. Of all the contestants they have had so far, she is by far the most vocally talented. And even though I kind of liked the girl next door look she had goin on.. I have to say she has turned into

A HOTTIE

They keep talking about the Carrie Underwood factor.. huh? what? she is considered competition to Kelly why exactly?
I mean.. Carrie can sing.. but she in NO Kelly Clarkson.. she isn't even in the same league as Kelly.
There is certainly no contestant on this season of AI that even stacks up..
Kely Clarkson RULES!!!
