I won't do a whole review, as I probably wouldn't do all that good of a job, but I'm re-reading it because a friend from church asked to borrow it, and I thought I would read through it again before I loaned it to him, so I could better recommend it appropriately. Dave Skiles... (More)

Total Church: Why Gospel? Why Community?

It's definitely a telling commentary on my life that the first chapter of Total Church , "Why Gospel?" was less exciting to me than the following chapter, "Why Community?". I think the former is in my head only, where the latter is in my head and heart.... (More)

Spring!

It got up to 67 F outside this afternoon. We had a picnic lunch and then spent a long time outside enjoying the sunshine (kids absorbing lots of vitamin D) and playing with rocks. Jonathan cleaned and filled the hummingbird feeder. I filled the regular bird feeder. I... (More)

Backward State: Mississippi...

At least, it might be. A bill recently passed the house that very specifically makes non-CNM midwifery illegal . In 1972, (three years after they started licensing CNMs) a bill was passed declaring Mississippi to be a legal state for direct entry midwives. I only heard... (More)

It's All Relative

I was telling my mom the other day about how strange it was that Pittsburgh is all but closed down after the snowstorm on Saturday. Even the major roads (5th, Forbes, Negley, Penn) are not plowed, or rather, seem to have been plowed after one foot of snow fell, but then they didn't come... (More)

Taxes Are Done For Another Year

Taxes weren't too bad to calculate this year, though last year we paid TaxAct, so apparently, they decided we aren't ever allowed to go back to the free version again, unless I sign up with a new username. So, we ended up just doing them on paper, and discovered that in some ways, TaxAct... (More)

New Pictures

We've added our pictures for the last couple months , as well as adding a bunch of pictures that Stephan took at the Maggie P and at Thanksgiving - the delay was mostly because I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to add a credit in the bottom right corner for Stephan's pictures. And... (More)

AT&T HTC Tilt2 Tethering via USB

There is a bizarre issue with AT&T and their latest phone - the tech support folks (even the second level) haven't ever seen one, and the scripts they have are made for the original Tilt, and AT&T somehow hasn't realized that while it probably is possible to do it the "old"... (More)

AT&T Coverage and Service?

In continuing my tv watching and catching up on the news from the last year, I see that Verizon has been doing lots of ads about network speeds and comparing them to AT&T. And I found out that AT&T rates lowest on consumer satisfaction surveys, etc. My brother said he has... (More)

Cost of Health Care?

Since I am in the category of people who is expected to see my health insurance double or triple, I wonder why people are spending so much on their health insurance. I do see that since we are "poor", we'll likely get free or heavily discounted health insurance under Obama's... (More)

Wood Burning

Note: most links in the article are links to our pictures of the wood As I've mentioned previously , we really like our woodstove, and since we've used the gas less than I thought, I decided to get some more wood , and so I found a guy on Craigslist, who had a decent price for... (More)

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November

We began the day learning about Guy Fawkes Day (Jonathan says now if we ever visit England he wants to visit at the beginning of November so he can participate in the festivities.) We ended the day by taking Daddy to the ER. Jon's notes in italics . It was quarter of five... (More)

Pocket Notes

10/23 - Jon said, "Ask Jonathan an addition problem with two digit numbers that sum to a multiple of ten." I asked him 53+17, and Jonathan figured out loud, "the seventeen goes to twenty, the fifty three goes to fifty...seventy!" I signed Jonathan up for the... (More)

Upromise Withdrawals!

I noticed that upromise now allows you to withdraw your money instead of having to wait until your kid goes to college. Given that our balance is currently $90.74 (thanks Grandma for $16 of that) it'll take a long time before we could even put it in a 529 account, assuming they are... (More)
