Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Legolas/Cheryl:  Final count, forty-two! Gimli/Dani:  Forty-two?  Oh, that’s not bad for a pointy eared elvish princling.  Hmph!  I myself am sitting pretty on forty-THREE. Legolas/Cheryl:  (Takes out fly swatter and swats fly that Gimli/Dani is hovering over) Forty-three. Gimli/Dani:  He was already dead! Legolas/Cheryl:  He was twitching! Gimli/Dani:  That’s because my fly swatter was still EMBEDDED IN HIS…

     Since posting my article “A Vision for the Future – The Heritage Library”, I’ve heard the same questions time and again, “Where do I start?”  “What books would be best for my child?”  “Will you help me?”  “What do you recommend?”      With this post, I hope to begin a new series to begin…

I woke up a bit on the wobbly side this morning, and it has persisted through the day.  Will, on the other hand, is back to his old self, save for a lingering cough!  I’m thankful that my boy is back to being full of energy and fun and mischief! I tended to the daily…

I love my job!!  Some days more than others, of course, as I am very “normal” and my sinful nature does get the better of me; but I do love my job!  The fall weather here is just glorious, though we could surely use a few days of good, soaking rain.  Our overnight temperatures are…

A couple of weeks ago, after my last mega-shop, I searched the internet and finally re-discovered the USDA’s “Cost of Food at Home at Four Levels” charts and information.  Corin and I ran across this information a few years ago, but I wanted to look at it again.  Once found, I used their instructions to…

     Dani will be heading back to Lisa’s this afternoon.  The boys and I are off for the every-other-Friday Mega Shop.  I’m hoping, Lord willing, to still post this evening, but in the meantime, can you lend a hand?      Ben Hector is a homeschool high school graduate who is completeing his four year degree,…
