Just Ducky: November 2008

Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Monday, November 17, 2008. Self Discovery Sucks, Especially In The Middle Of A Blog Entry. Perhaps this is one of the places Jewish law, or tradition, crosses over to Christian, or 'Christ-like' behavioral expectations. The whole idea that one's reward for 'doing good' comes in heaven. That the idea of self-sacrifice and giving to others quietly, without fanfare, is the ultimate form of prayer. I like that idea. I'm sure there are people for whom 'doi...

Just Ducky: October 2008
http://terramama.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Friday, October 17, 2008. Stroudsburg, Pa. or Norman Rockwell's Imagination? It is a gorgeous Fall morning, here in Pa! We have a beautiful old, brick, elementary school a half block down the street. In good weather the kindergarten and first grade teachers often take their children for walks in the mornings. And it is always a treat to watch them. I love the little ones. At a distance! When someone else is responsible for them! This is the house thre...

Just Ducky: Meet Molly, Our Newest Family Member
http://terramama.blogspot.com/2009/03/meet-molly-our-newest-family-member.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Monday, March 09, 2009. Meet Molly, Our Newest Family Member. I wrote, not long ago, about my beautiful Becka going to the Rainbow Bridge. I miss Becka everyday. She was my wonderful companion and friend. Through Becka, I came to love the large hounds. So. In the spirit of Becka, we have adopted Molly. Here she is on the grooming table, about to get her nails done for the first time and she's none too sure she likes this experience. My Becka was an En...

Just Ducky: September 2008
http://terramama.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Monday, September 01, 2008. Of Jobs and Celebration. Once again, I'm full of all sorts of lofty thoughts, and no idea how, or where, to begin to commit them to words. I guess I really didn't stick around long enough. Almost forty years after I put my toe in the door, we're still fighting for equal pay for equal work. On the other hand, I can celebrate that right now, at this point in time, all of my boys are gainfully employed, self-supporting (well, ...

Just Ducky: Interesting Move From Judge Conn on Jeffs' Motion. Is it Kosher?
http://terramama.blogspot.com/2009/03/interesting-move-from-judge-conn-is-it.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Monday, March 09, 2009. Interesting Move From Judge Conn on Jeffs' Motion. Is it Kosher? News reported this afternoon that Judge Conn has decided to wait until after the Texas Court rules on the admissibility. Of items seized in the April YfZ. Raid before his ruling. The hearing challenging the warrants is scheduled in May in Judge Walther's Court. Of the warrants. Seems like just a tad bit of a conflict, to me. I'm not familiar with the. Isn't it sor...

Just Ducky: FLDS and the Amish, So Similar, So Different
http://terramama.blogspot.com/2009/03/flds-and-amish-so-similar-so-different.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Wednesday, March 04, 2009. FLDS and the Amish, So Similar, So Different. I live in Pa. Home of the Eagles and the Steelers. And the "Pennsylvania Dutch" and the Amish community in Lancaster County. Often in the discussions about the FLDS. Community, I see parallels. Drawn to the Old Order Amish Communities across the country. And, there are many legitimate parallels. The similarities go on and on. There is a working replica of an Amish farm that touri...

Just Ducky: THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://terramama.blogspot.com/2009/04/thanks-for-everything.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Thursday, April 02, 2009. I am doing fine. I am steadily recovering. I should be back up to my "normal" speed soon. I find reading very difficult. And writing is terrible, right now. I find it a lot more difficult to read and write than I do sitting and talkng. When I am sitting and talking, a person can guess what I am saying when I find myself vexed for words. Anyhow, I wanted you to all know I am fighting and will be back some time soon! So when ar...

http://terramama.blogspot.com/2009/03/another-twist-in-rozita-swinton-saga.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Another Twist in the Rozita Swinton Saga? Another blog has an interesting post. This blogger has found what is either an error in the San Angelo Times article of last Sunday, or a whole new twist on the Swinton. Calls The article posts a timeline of events, including when the FBI got the phone records. The records the FBI produced showed calls from Swinton. Going to the NEWBRIDGE shelter starting on the 22 ND. Based on every...

Just Ducky: How Do People Percieve the Dress of the FLDS?
http://terramama.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-do-people-percieve-dress-of-flds.html
Thoughts, whims, and delusions of a middle aged mama. Monday, March 09, 2009. How Do People Percieve the Dress of the FLDS? I often see the dresses of the FLDS women referred to in negative ways. Most people identify the dress of the Amish and their horse and buggies as quaint. Not the doctrinal difference.but the perceptions? Monday, March 09, 2009. There is little difference in the dress of the FLDS ladies and the Amish, Mennonites or any sect that wishes/requires modest dress. Just because a female dr...
