http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2015/07/real-family-values.html
The Wifely Person Speaks. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. My big brother is coming tomorrow (probably today when you're reading this.) I am really looking forward to seeing him. The folks have had a bit of a rough start here in Minnesota, and this visit will be great medicine for them. And for me. I need face time with my partner in care-taking. See, here's the thing: lots of people talk about family values. They talk about two-parent households, what kind of parents make up two-parent households. They t...Had t...

The Wifely Person Speaks: General Disgust
http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2015/08/general-disgust.html
The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, August 3, 2015. Between the stabbings at the Pride Parade in Jerusalem, the firebombing of a Palestinian home with the residents asleep inside, and the garbage spewing out of the mouth of the Clown Candidate Cavalcade, I cannot just pick a topic and go with it. Quite the opposite. I have four opening lines, and I don't feel like writing about any of it. We That's a BIG word. כל ישראל ערבית זה בזה. All Israel is responsible one for another. Ever make a right, and counteri...

The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, June 29, 2015. Protecting the First on the Fourth. And as if that weren't enough hot air polluting the atmosphere, it was immediately followed by the court ruling on same-sex marriage. As Stephen Colbert astutely observed,. Wow, history moves fast. It’s hard to believes that gays achieved full constitutional personhood just five years after corporations did. This was followed by incredibly supportive statements from various GOP kandidates:. Know what I mean there? On an ...

The Wifely Person Speaks: We Are What We Wave
http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2015/07/we-are-what-we-wave_7.html
The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, July 6, 2015. We Are What We Wave. With all the swags you can hang. It's just lovely. But I didn't like seeing a Confederate flag hanging off the back of a Minnesota fire truck in Albert Lea. It made all the media outlets and the firefighter who hung it was suspended, but he managed to be interviewed by every cub reporter within a zillion mile radius, and he easily validated the original idea that he is a moron. Brian Nielsen, Heartland Fire Department. That's kinda the ...

The Wifely Person Speaks: May 2015
http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, May 25, 2015. Philatelism: A Family Secret. Appy Of course, periodic appearances of Little Miss go a long way in making things right. And I actually got to spend an evening with dog and vacuum cleaner, which made dog happy. Maybe not to you, but to three former Brownies who reconnected a while back on FaceBook, this is great stuff. Passé, but some of the stamps are incredible. Will anyone else care? Well, maybe not anyone outside our little circle, but yeah, it's worth h...

The Wifely Person Speaks: Welcome to my world
http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2010/07/welcome-to-my-world.html
The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, July 19, 2010. Welcome to my world. I've been under a great deal of pressure from several sources (you know who you are) to start a blog. Now, all things considered, this was Steve's gigue. He was Ziggy. Ziggy's Joke o'the Day was out there before there were blogs. ZJOD was, in it's own way, legendary. And I always snuggled a little closer. There are no more pats on the butt. And no one who is going to sit on my. Sofa and opine at my. Well, where to begin? Was Jerusalem,...

The Wifely Person Speaks: ALL LIVES MATTER
http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2015/07/all-lives-matter.html
The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, July 20, 2015. For those of you who keep count of this sort of thing, yesterday (July 19. Anniversary of The Wifely Person Speaks. In five years, I’ve not missed a week…well, there were a couple of abbreviated episodes, but that’s still more than 260 of these things that I’ve done….and that many of you have actually read. In honor of 5 diligent years in the blogosphere, I’ve opted to opine rather bluntly about a subject that is beginning to make me seethe. For those of y...
