Education is cool!

I learned a new word today from SarahK today. I'm pretty sure she's a girl, but different somehow. Kinda grown up an' stuff. I know there's a word for that, but it fails me at the moment. Guess that will be my word for tomorrow. Anyway she's pretty nice for someone that's online. A rare quality nowadays.
In the mean time, my new word:


"Slattern"

slat·tern 

Pronunciation: \ˈsla-tərn\

Function: noun

Etymology: probably from German schlottern to hang loosely, slouch; akin to Dutch slodderen to hang loosely, slodder slut

Date: circa 1639

: an untidy slovenly woman; also : slut, prostitute

It doesn't sound as naughty as those other words, or leave a nasty taste in my mouth after saying it. I now vow this to use in place of those others...

"Get those slatterns off the street! There's a politician coming to town!"

"Don't drive down that street at night where the kids can see - the slatterns come out and just stand there."

"Nancy Pelosi wanted to be a slattern when she grew up, but wasn't qualified. She then turned to her second choice..."


"Bill Clinton's in town! Hide the slatterns!"

Yep, I can see this word becoming a regular part of my vocabulary.
Thanks, SarahK.

Things I tweeted, random thoughts, or maybe just fever dreams. I get those confused...

"You can change your Levi's, but you can't change your genes." - me

"Why do you think they call it dope?"  Because the name markos was already taken.

If you're a Christian, you don't have to like me - you gotta love me. Like it or not, I'm family...

Lest I forget...

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God."

That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.

Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.

You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.

But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher.
He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

Sunday...

Hebr 11:13 (KJS) These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

Depression...

You ever wake up feeling pretty good? Then you read and watch the news, you wonder how these idiots got into power,  and 15 minutes later you say to yourself, "Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill ?"

As Grandma used to say, "Sometimes I really hate reality. It harshes my buzz."

Pay no attention to the idiot who owns this...

Let me be clear. This isn't really a blog. That would mean that I actually work at making it something that other people would want to read. It's not. It's a placeholder for ME. I say something that I may want to remember for myself - I put it here. I'm getting senile now, and I can't remember where I put my car keys, let alone what I may have said on some forum, so I copy and paste it here. It may save me from being sued. But then again it might be used for evidence too. But at least if I am sued, it'll be for something I actually said, and not something that was just made up about me. If I'm going to jail, I'm going happy in the knowledge that I did it all by myself - not by some other idiot's fever dream...
