    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Weather is gloomy today. I got a run in yesterday which was good, although it was harder than it needed to be. I think I just needed to get back into running a little more slowly after taking time out because of the cold - I hadn't really pushed hard for a couple of weeks. Right now I'm...

    The 2nd amendment

    It's often said that if guns made a society dangerous then Switzerland would be a bloodbath. It's also said that if guns made a society safe then South Africa would be a utopia. Some say that guns kill people. My gun hasn't killed anyone - I set it on the dresser several days ago and it hasn't...

    Overstay their welcome

    For my wife and I it's not usually a problem because we're usually up much later than most people, so our guests usually leave long before we have to consider how best to encourage them to leave. When we visit people we always make it clear that if they need us to head out they can just tell us...

    How many vacation days?

    I work for myself so I can take as much time off as I want. It's just that days off are totally unpaid.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    To a large extent I'd agree - when I see the Hillsong name I figure something is going to be catchy but doctrine will take a back seat to rhythm and rhyme, or it will be a few words empty of any meaning with a chorus that repeats itself mindlessly. Every once in a while I'm pleasantly surprised...

    The 2nd amendment

    I think if you believe in basic human rights you must support the 2nd amendment. In the UK they have this crazy idea that humans have the right to life, And yet at the same time you don't have an automatic right to meaningfully protect your life. If you get attacked by some idiot in the street...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I've found Hillsong music to be a combination of some pretty good stuff and some stuff that can only be described as drivel.

    Baptismal Song/Music

    Nothing specific. At a church I attended years ago the people being baptised could choose the song they wanted sung as they emerged from the water.

    Human Composting Law

    Maybe I just got unlucky. I only recall getting one bill but the funeral director I have in mind didn't miss a single opportunity to upsell and push ever-more expensive options.

    Human Composting Law

    I wouldn't want a full-blown burial with a hideously expensive casket and a hideously expensive concrete chamber. Funeral directors, from my (limited) experience seem very keen to sell people the most expensive options because "their loved one deserves something good". When I'm dead I won't know...

    Human Composting Law

    Without reading the article, I'm wondering if this is similar to the natural burial grounds that some other countries use. Instead of a hideously expensive wooden or metal casket placed inside an even more expensive stone vault that is then buried (because, perish the thought that the dead body...

    Christmas gift dilemma

    It feels presumptuous asking "where's my gift?" but at the same time if the person sent a gift that never came through they'd want to know it was never received.

    My Body, My Choice!!!!

    If the idea that "something inside my body is mine to do with as I please" then, without getting too graphic, it leaves men particularly vulnerable during certain times that they might not expect to be vulnerable in quite that manner. I wonder how well that would go down, particularly among the...

    Received a gift you didn't like?

    I don't exchange very many Christmas gifts, usually my wife and I buy a few tokens for each other, we exchange fun gifts with a fairly small group of others, and leave it at that. It takes a lot of pressure away - no racking brains trying to figure out what's appropriate for someone, no sense of...

    Christmas gift dilemma

    Hard to know, if they sent an e-gift card and didn't get any response at all they might be upset. I don't expect elaborate thanks for gifts but in the past I've given gifts to friends' children and if they can't even be bothered to send a text to say thankyou the chances are they won't get a...

    Trump's Taxes

    Does that mean he didn't give any money, or didn't claim any tax writeoff for giving money, or gave through corporations? (Serious question, I don't know the answer and frankly don't care enough to look through the tax returns to find out) I'd have thought if he did make any meaningful...
