The Weather Channel suggesting today's high will be near 95F. Enough is enough. :(

More anti-Muslim polemicists claiming that Islam requires women to wear a burqa.

I thought Islam was the culture/people and Muslim was their religion. If that's the case then I do believe traditions of the culture/people require the burqa, though I don't think the religion does. I could be wrong, I don't know much about either.

Mostly the culture and the religion are inextricably entwined.

The berka is supposedly the woman's choice, but if hubby is demanding, obedience rules.

Throughout history in many countries religion and culture are like that.

Historically, religion and culture have been evolving things with religion always being behind.

Waking up so stiff I could barely move. Again.

There isn't a winning return comment to that one.

Nope. I got a referral to a rheumatologist from my doc; her first available appointment? Mid-October.

Gee, thanks.


Sold! That sounds pretty nice.

Sounds like I found the winning return comment........ I swear, Route 66 is looking better and better.

Better than 65 or 67?

Sorry, Aussie joke.

Some news about our local college coach's 6 year old. He has a rare blood disease, that I just happened to have read about earlier in the day as my kiddo is going to be needing to see a hematologist, so I had been studying up.

Yes, I know. Scary shit... :(

Watching some cancelled old TV shows that i wish were still being made today
