Curiosity in the Second City: October 2009
http://curiosityinthesecondcity.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Curiosity in the Second City. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. This is a clip from Hee Haw, a foggy, cobweb filled memory from my childhood. I really don't remember watching that much Hee Haw - but this song sticks in my head like crazy glue. The best part is the "phht you was gone". Social media is making me feel rather antisocial at the moment. I got up this morning and logged on to Face Book. Then I checked out what was going on in the Twitterverse. Your workout / exercise routine. 5 Tweeting that you are...

Curiosity in the Second City: February 2009
http://curiosityinthesecondcity.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Curiosity in the Second City. Friday, February 27, 2009. I'm her mom. No.she's not. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. This Friday will be one month since I quit smoking. I really can’t believe it’s been a month already. The cravings are gone, and what I am left with are basically urges; little, intense urges. I usually have one or two a day, and they don’t last very long at all, but they are powerful and the smoking memory is really is forceful. Light up. Ten minutes early for an appointment? Go downstairs and...

Caring for Bear: Getting On With It
http://caringforbear.blogspot.com/2011/07/getting-on-with-it.html
Maine, United States. I'm your average girl-next-door type with an infectious smile who is fortunate enough to be loved by a bear. Among other things, I knit and spin. View my complete profile. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Getting On With It. Now that I'm down here every day, I've begun the search for living accommodations. I have a picture in my head of what life will be like down here and I'm hoping to find something that resembles that picture at least a little bit. I do, however, own a dog and have a husb...

Wednesday, March 09, 2011. If you haven't read it lately, check out Bear's blog. His medical roller coaster keeps going, each pass making the track more worn out and wobbly. I know we are both tired of the ride. I'd like to buy a piano. A used upright piano. I have nowhere to put said piano in my house. Bear and I...

Friday, February 25, 2011. This week is a week that all teachers and students have off from school. I love this week. It's a great one for sleeping in, getting home projects done, and cursing the skies for delivering yet more snow. I'm really tired of snow. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 16, 2011.

Jim Millar: September 2009
http://jimmillar.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Councillor for Arbroath East and Lunan. Wednesday, 23 September 2009. Tesco Discriminates Against Jedi. I read this in the Guardian when I was in Paris (will blog about that later), and thought it was hilarious. The Tesco response is superb. Jedi religion founder accuses Tesco of discrimination over rules on hoods. Daniel Jones says he was humiliated and victimised for his beliefs following incident at store in Wales. To remove his hood or leave a branch of the supermarket in north Wales. You have a choi...

Jim Millar: March 2009
http://jimmillar.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Councillor for Arbroath East and Lunan. Tuesday, 24 March 2009. How Local Govt Communicates. I got a rather cryptic phone call the other night. It was from someone asking about a Socialist rally in Arbroath, and did I know any of the details about it. Somewhat perplexed as to why someone would phone a Tory councillor about a Socialist rally, I politely asked who was calling. It turned out that it was a 'PR Consultant' for the council who had been asked to call me for details. Sunday, 22 March 2009. I've ...

Jim Millar: Statement By Anne Moffat..............
http://jimmillar.blogspot.com/2010/03/statement-by-anne-moffat.html
Councillor for Arbroath East and Lunan. Tuesday, 23 March 2010. Statement By Anne Moffat. This statement has just been released by Anne Moffat. I wonder how long it will take the First Minister to slip any of this into his response at FMQ's? I am deeply saddened that my service to East Lothian Constituency has come to an end in such distressing and appalling circumstances. Unbelievably, at the time of this press release I have yet to be formally notified of the NEC decision. Hello and welcome to my blog.

Jim Millar: April 2010
http://jimmillar.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Councillor for Arbroath East and Lunan. Friday, 16 April 2010. I don't think that this event was ever going to live up to the media hype that preceded it, and in the end it was something of a disappointment. Many, myself included were looking for a clear and decisive winner, but it simply didn’t happen. The event also failed to deliver the kind of political ‘cut and thrust’ of PMQ’s that many members of the public might have expected. For all the great sense of anticipation, the idea that history was in ...
