I almost have to fold my clothes a certain way, and I usually have to do it right as they come out of the dryer. Usually if I don't get them done right away and just leave them they sit there for a long time because every time I think about them i think of the wrinkles they have in them now from sitting and cooling off all crumpled up. 2. I obsessively wash dishes. I also wash them in the hottest water that can be produced by the water heater, so that it burns my hands. I even like to get them done before the meal is done cooking or before I sit down and eat. It is an subconsciousness compulsion as penance for giving my Mum and Dad a hard time growing up. I figured that out about a year ago. 3. I got a concussion in the second grade and lost almost an entire day. All I remember is that I woke up one "morning" and it was already light out. I looked down and I was not under the covers and I had all my clothing on. I got up, with a headache and walked out of ... 2008-10-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=571125 Man, good speech. Good rips on Oby. The media must be freakin out. They are really going to go after her now. May be they will make fun of her glasses or something other than her 17 year old daughter. I think I smell a back lash coming. 2008-09-04 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=568911 For once I am happy with McCain. Good choice. Pro life, very strong pro life, Pro hockey, Pro drilling, good communicator. Almost excited, about this pick. I guess we got the same old same old last night from Obama-Biden. hope, change, and him trying to convince the country that he is patriotic. Good luck. He did spot the American flag a spot on his stage that was designed by Britney Spears set designer. Good for him. 2008-08-29 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=566037 So The big 0 was confronted with the question, "when does life begin?" and he refrained when in front of the American Public. But earlier in the decade when he said that he voted against the war in the U.S. Senate, when he was actually only a state senator, the OBommer voted against legislation that would allow babies that survive an abortion and are living, completely outside of the mother, to have medical attention and allowed to survive a mothers and a "doctors" worst intentions. But Oby has said recently that those who have recorded that he voted against that legislation are lying. But then, as luck would have it, an audio tape surfaced of the messiah complaining about the survival of a fetus going against the original decision of a "mother." So for all those "christians" who are fans of the "messiah," perhaps he has answered the question. Life starts sometime between safety-town and kindergarten. 2008-08-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=564579 I went up to Ohio this past week. It was fun but Melissa did not come with me. She was working. Probably one of her most busy weeks at school, right before the kids come back. So alot of the time I was thinking about her and how I should have been helping her out at school. But I went anyways. It will be the last time. Saw many good friends and their great kids. Saw two brothers and went to Cedar Point with them. Hope fully brother Jay will put up one or both of the pictures he purchased. I have not been there in about 13 or 14 years. It was great. Got to spend time with Grandparents and other relatives. Got to shoot some of my Grandpa's guns. And got to ride around and see the little town where I spent most of my youth. Paper routs, capture the flag, riding bikes all around town, place where I used to work picking strawberries and apples, a few places where a few friends and I ran from the po-po, and I ran a few laps around the old track by my old highschool. It is s... 2008-08-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=547122 Uh-oh. "Senator Barack Obama said he might "refine" his Iraq policies after meeting with military commanders there later this summer." The winds of change are blowing and Berry is bending like a reed. So does this flip flop on the war in Iraq change anyones idea's or opinions about obama? I know he has said that he will still bring the troops back, after he got flack for his statements but you know it is all just talk. He is a politician just like everyone else, except that he has no experience and he doesn't sound very bright unless he is speaking from a teleprompter, reading from other peoples speeches. 2008-07-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=532906 We closed on a house Friday, we went camping and when we came back from our trip the air conditioning was broke. HA HA HA. Good stuff. 2008-05-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=527075 On this mother's day I am reminded of how lucky I am to have the mother that I do. I was loved and cared for, perhaps a little too much, but who's complaining? But thinking of mother's day and the current issues in our country reminds me of how much mother's have changed. I think of a mother who at a young age makes the mistake of killing her unborn child. I think that is a terrible thing that she will one day in this life or the next, pay for. It is the consequence of sin. But more than that I think of the older more mature mother who has a good job and knows what they are doing and have thought about this issue many times and still comes to the conclusion that although they have the capability to add this blessing into their lives, they consider it too much of an inconvenience for their life. It strikes me that this mother is the worst of all sinners. And Let me be clear. I believe that Abortion, the killing of ones own child is not a political issue, it is a sin. It is not ... 2008-05-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=523932 How is Obama Divisive? Well I think that his comments that some see as bringing us together are the comments that many others see as divisive. Hope, Change, Change, and Hope. I think that older generations have worked hard for what we are today. I am not sure that younger generations understand what we would be changing to. I honestly think that we are spoiled and don’t realize how good this country is. Like many, I have been outside this country. But I don’t think that we have been in the same places. The places I have been make me marvel at the great opportunities every single person that exists in the U.S. has to change their own lives. Not just middle and upper class but every person. It is the types of government policies that blind the “lower class” into thinking that they are helpless, and that they need the government to provide for them. The way this country has risen from what it was, to what it is now is not through the welfare and nanny state policies tha... 2008-05-02 http://www.pleonast.com/user/skinns?l=5&entryID=522949 I just got back from a visit to the movie theater. I have tried to cut down on my visits to the temple of Hollywood. I have gone a few times in the past year and I am usually sad that I went. I have had one good experience with in the past 3 years. Unfortunately, that experience was when I went to see John Rambo, with John Chilcote, and a few other good friends. I can not in good conscience recommend the third installment of Rambo. But the movie I just went to after eating at the number 3 Thai restaurant in the middle TN area, was very good and I can with great fervor encourage others to go see it. Expelled, No Intelligence allowed, was a strait forward look at not one not two but at least five that I can specifically remember who have had their professional career ruined as science professors at universities and colleges around the country. It is a good look at the unwillingness of the “enlightened” Darwinist to examine their own belief system and world view. There are ... 2008-04-29
