Previous posts revisited

An update on two previous posts.  Firs the DMV.  I finally got the renewal notice in the mail and went into a panic when I noted that it was due on the day I received it!  Now they had said that there would be a 30 day grace period before penalties were incurred but the notice claimed otherwise and penalties would accrue on the very next day.  I attempted to register my car via the DMV website but it was extremely slow and when I finally penetrated to the payment page it quit altogether.  I was quite frustrated but there was still the telephone option so I called the DMV on my phone and eventually managed to get the voice recognition software to listen to me and got my car registration done on the same day I got the notice.  Whew, I felt really good and relieved.  Then I looked more closely at the stuff that had come with the notice and discovered that, no matter what the notice said the penalties would not actually have been imposed until the 30 day grace period was over.  It was all very confusing and frustrating but I survived it fine.

Paleo is great, but expensive.  I like meat, I also like pasta.  The whole family can eat for a week on rice and beans and pasta and veggies and such for the cost of a single paleo meal for me.  So, since we are currently (thanks to the IRS and the vile Bankster scum who rule Duhmerica) on a low budget, we are back to eating normal foods.  My arthritis is flaring back up but that could be a coincidence I suppose.  It's OK with some Aleve in the mornings, though I forgot to take any today and am pretty sore.  Ah well.

I plan to begin posting more here in the near future, I had gone almost totally Facebook but that's not really a good place for longer posts and I'm feeling the urge to get wordy.  Watch out!  :-)

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
