Age Appropriate
(Preview)
What is age appropriate? I asked this in the Arts and Crafts section about an artist named Gorky (whose real name was something Armenian). All his life he pretended to be different identities, and he eventually hung himself. I get to teach this guy to fifthgraders. I'm curious, though. What topics ar...

(Preview)
As we are approaching the holiday season, I'm thinking that many of our Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions are centered around food. But I'm trying to focus less on food this year and more on other traditions as part of my quest to be released from my obsession with food. So, let's have your favori...

Have you ever had a sudden memory or strong emotional response triggered by something you smell? (I had a bad one tonight. ) When I have these, it's so real, I'm back in time faster than I could blink. Am I alone in this?

Febrile dreams

Israelites in Japan
(Preview)
http://www5.ocn.ne.jp/~magi9/isracame.htm This fascinates me. Especially the parts about the Shinto Temple and the Jewish Temple (mid article)... And a 6 pointed star in Japan is like a pentagram (a symbol for magic) to our culture. It's all very mysterious of course, and it's one of those thing...

There are a lot of white collar ward members, but this is the first ward I've been in that had more blue collar. In fact, in most wards I've lived...

Where in the world did the word "poppycock" come from? What does it mean to call someone that? And how did lbs. become the abbreviation for pounds? And where did the expression, "By the skin of my teeth..." come from? My teeth don't have skin.
