• 2012—The Movie November 17, 2009
  I have been disappointed before; but seldom quite so completely. I ignored earlier 2012 movie reviews…asking how the reviewer could so completely miss the point of the 2012 doomsday story. After spending a mindless two hours and thirty-eight minutes, debating with myself whether or not to get up and leave, I now have to agree with those [...] […]

• Hurricane Ida and the 2012 Movie November 10, 2009
  Most of the world has been totally unaware of the latest hurricane threat. Not so the survivors and victims of hurricae Katrina. The mere mention of a hurricane anywhere along that devasted 200 mile stretch of the Gulf Coast is enough to dredge up some pretty horrific memories. Friends and family still living along the Coast will [...] […]

• 2012 Solar Storms and Our Grid…. November 1, 2009
  It’s a gloomy Sunday afternoon here in south Carolina.  We’re just hours shy of the birth of my latest grandchild—-a little girl.  Already three days overdue, labor will be induced Monday morning at 6am.  Wish us luck. AnnaBelle will be only three years old when the 2012 fireworks are scheduled to peak; so I am scrambling [...] […]

• 2012 and Counting…..What October 27, 2009
  It comes as no surprise that the main draw to this blog is the 2012 and counting theme. Even Google seems to agree. But, what exactly are we counting? I have suggested that we start by noting the increasing number of times that something or someone refers to December 21, 2012 as a significant event.  It shouldn’t [...] […]

• Countdown to 2012 October 23, 2009
  Here’s one I missed…….and then found on my own web site: The ‘2012′ doomsday craze is keeping scientists busy and frustrated That’s the headline from the latest Google RSS feed found at the very bottom of every one of our 2012 web pages . I don’t know about you, but I don’t recall off hand the last [...] […]

• 2012 and Counting October 22, 2009
  Everybody’s doing it! A recent trip to the back country of southern Ohio brought the message home. A seventy year old football fanatic took time IN THE MIDDLE OF A BROWN’S GAME to ask for my input on the 2012 doomsday prediction. He claims that his doctor has been predicting his own personal doomsday upon every office visit [...] […]

• 2012: Playboy, NPR, and Animal Planet September 28, 2009
  Our advancing age, coupled with this newly discovered awareness of the 2012 doomsday predictions, has had a profound effect upon this household.Any of you ladies who have raised sons and husbands have heard for years the explanation that we bought the latest Playboy magazine “for the articles”. Of course, you knew better as did we; but [...] […]

• The 2012 End of the World Scenario September 23, 2009
  Most people haven’t heard the 2012 end of the world predictions; and that is as it should be. When they do become aware, half of the citizens will dismiss the whole concept as simply that….a concept, pure speculation with no basis in fact. AMEN At the other end of the spectrum will be the “survivalists”…given [...] […]

• Bye, Bye Miss American Pie….. September 19, 2009
  So, what’s it like to be 62 years old in 2009? Old enough to remember the feeling of a “lab rat” in the early administrations of the now famous, then hoped for, polio cure…shots and “boosters”; and the relief of not having to watch any of our classmates strapped into the previously all too common polio [...] […]

• Thanks PLAYBOY MAGAZINE September 11, 2009
  Thanks PLAYBOY MAGAZINE. You’ve brought many of us full circle.  For many years we claimed to buy and read you “for the articles”. Of course we fooled no one; though lots of Moms pretended to accept our explanation. Now, here we are much later in life, finding ourselves buying a PLAYBOY. This time it truly is “for [...] […]
