No more Buddy Press, alas …
I deactivated the Buddy Press plugin and all the site issues went away. So, I won’t be re-activating Buddy Press. And it’s just as well, since it wasn’t used much. »
Site news: Keep readers informed of new Blog Peoria member posts and comments
I am very, very excited about two new widgets that every single Blog Peoria Project member blogger can use. Global Recent Posts widget works like the “recent posts” widget many of you already use. But it displays recent posts from every single Blog Peoria Project blog. Global Recent Comments widget does the same thing... »
A funny thing happened …
I received two very dissimilar, yet related emails today. One was from from intrepid radio reporter Dave Dahl, formerly of WMBD, but now plying his skills elsewhere. It was a cartoon he came across and just had to share with me: I about died laughing. It’s so true. Sometimes I think I need an intervention to... »

In All Things #5 (Gabrielle)
Today I am thankful for birthday parties, which is a good thing because they can be a snootful of work. Sometimes when we're gearing up for a party I start wishing it was just over. I keep thinking that there's just too much work and there'll be too many people and I just don't feel like doing it. BThe Weather is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful

Starhawk's Winter Calendar--Online Course, talks, workshops, Earth Activist Training I was pleasantly surprised to find that Starhawk is a member of the Pagan Permaculture list that I joined this week. On her website, Starhawk describes herself as the "author of many works celebrating the Godde
The library had a book sale and I went and spent five bucks and got lots of books. So today I'm also thankful for book sales and the libraries that put them on.
Today I am thankful for leftover oatmeal. Not just because it makes breakfast the next day so much simpler, but because it gives me a reason to feel creative and thrifty. So today I opened up two containers of oatmeal that were the leftovers from two different days. I put them in a pot and added
I am SO not into the 2012, End of the Mayan Calendar, boo-hoo-hoo, but this came across on the email group that I just joined. Som parts of this are just common sense and the rest comes from somebody who's been staring at the sun for too long: THE 2012 MANIFESTO HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE COMING
Last night I was super tired. Wednesday Night Dinner can be a lot of work and often when it's over I'll be dead-tired and really wound up. Sometimes, like last night, my legs will be aching and my body will just be worn out, but I'll be too wound up to go to sleep. It could make for a hard time goin
The Azeroth Chronicals - Book II, The Return of the Kingdoms
To start things off, this is a work of fiction based on the characters and content of the World of Warcraft. There is no intention by the author to to steal copyrighted material or abuse it in anyway whatsoever. This is only to tell a story of a direction that I would take the game if I had the
Today I made a superhero for medical terminology class. We're supposed to make up twelve medical terms, using real medical term parts, and draw a cartoon character who has all of those conditions. So I drew up Epiguy who has exacidoptysis (spitting out acid) and anamyomegaly (excessive enlargement o
Today I am thankful for bananas. Those crazy yellow fruits are so versatile and yummy. You can cut them up into cereal for a breakfast treat; you can smother them in peanut butter for a snack; you can mush them up to feed to the baby and, of course, you can throw them at each other hoping they will

Oh Julia, I don't remember the dentists name, but we went to him to. What a quack. Don't think he knew what a cleaning or filling was. He just loved to pull teeth. Or maybe our parents just couldn't dental prevention, so it was an extraction or nothing. Yes that's where they located. Didn't re (More)

When I was a student, there were a few times that we got to draw also. I have fond memories of these projects. For me, it always felt cathartic to take a break from my typical homework and complete something in crayon. If I was writing a compilation of blog posts on giving thanks, I'd definitel (More)
