    Christmas dinner

    Food. Exactly what food varies from year to year. Sometimes turkey, sometimes ham, sometimes whatever else we feel like making.

    Pope John Paul II

    It's easy to see why a desire to deal with things in house exists. That said it would seem a far better solution to remove the offenders from the organisation completely rather than relocating them and simply hoping that "I won't do it again" actually means something other than "I'll cover my...

    Mental health crisis’

    It's easier to ignore things until they explode and then claim nobody could have predicted them, than it is to try and actually fix problems before they turn into crises. Governments are great at saying they don't have funds for something (even though they never seem to run out of money for...

    What do you say

    It depends who I'm talking to. Usually "happy Christmas" or "merry Christmas" unless I know the person celebrates something else. If I'm talking to Jewish friends then usually "Happy Hannukah". Hindu friends usually get something more like "happy Diwali", at least when Diwali is around this...

    When opening Christmas presents

    Sometimes I rip things open. Other times I go for the high precision approach, looking to take the paper off so cleanly you could reuse every square inch the paper to wrap something else and nobody would be any the wiser.

    Switzerland's Energy Crisis worsens

    I don't imagine very many governments have particularly solid plans for dealing with a real energy crisis. Beyond bleating about how "we're all in this together" as they demonstrate they are anything but in it with the rest of us, that is.

    Right or wrong

    Of course if there is no objective right or wrong then all the assorted -isms and -phobias become perfectly acceptable. KKK-style lynchings are acceptable. Hitler's extermination of Jews was acceptable. China's persecution of the Uighur Muslims is acceptable. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was...

    Right or wrong

    "Might hurt someone's feelings" only applies if the person with hurt feelings is suitably progressive. If a conservative suffers hurt feelings they are expected to suck it up. If a conservative suffers the total loss of everything in their life that's an acceptable price to pay. If a liberal...

    Do all religions lead to God?

    Since it's a curious question, let's take a step back from the obvious Christian answer to the question and think about it from an outside perspective. I don't think it is possible that all religions lead to God. One might argue that different religions have different names for the same deity...

    Do all religions lead to God?

    I'm not sure what kind of responses you're expecting, asking a question like that on a clearly Christian forum. You might as well go to a meeting of the Toyota Owners Club and ask which manufacturer makes the best cars.

    Right or wrong

    The trouble with questions like this is that they cross all sorts of lines and blur boundaries. The person who says there is no absolute right and wrong is inviting some kind of personal attack. You could punch them in the face - they have no right to complain because they just said there is no...

    Does your family only go to church Christmas and Easter?

    I guess if they want to worship they will. If the only times they attend church is at Christmas and Easter the safest assumption is probably that they don't want to attend on any of the other 50 weeks of the year. If it makes people feel good to attend twice a year I guess they can do what...

    Slow Lowering Toilet Seats

    It's really not that difficult to lower the seat without breaking it.

    Does your family only go to church Christmas and Easter?

    I really struggle with the mentality of going to church at Christmas and Easter if you don't go at other times. If you enjoy singing Christmas carols then going to church at Christmas makes some sense, even if only for a good singalong. It's not entirely unlike a small church near where I once...

    The worst sting/bite

    I don't think I've ever had a particularly bad bite or sting. One time I got a mosquito bite on the back of my hand that puffed up, so I took some antihistamines and it went away. Another time I wasn't thinking things through and knelt in the grass (wearing shorts) to cut up a tree I'd cut...

    Edge or center pieces

    It depends who made them. Some people cook them so the edges are crispy and the center is gooey. Other people cook them to the edges are crunchy and the center is crispy. Whichever bit is slightly crispy is good for me. Some people get it just right so that the corners have slightly crispy...

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

    I got my soundproofing moved around. The big hand cart, rated for up to 700lb, could easily cope with two rolls at a time. It could have carried the weight of more of them but trying to lift something that weighs only slightly less than I do up steps is hard work so I was glad I didn't attempt...

    Wealth disparity

    Your assertion was that Jesus told us to set up social programs. You have dodged and weaved when asked where he said anything of the sort. The issue isn't whether social programs are good or not, but whether Jesus told us to set them up. If you could prove with 100% certainty that social...

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

    Woot! My soundproofing material is here. Now I just need to figure out how to get it upstairs. This could be tricky. Ideally I'd take it up the stairs on the side I'm working on, but I can't do that because I've got a temporary floor in place there. So it will have to go through the house and...
