Hi, everyone!  As a follow-up to some of my previous posts on immigration in the United States here at ArsCompendium, I would like to share the following portion of a famous political speech. Please read through the speech instead of succumbing to the urge to skip to the bottom, where I’ve posted... read more

Howdy, folks.  Just popping in, briefly, for a quick post after another long absence.  Can’t stay long - our niece and nephew arrive on Tuesday for a 22-day visit (pray for us as we become the temporary parents to an 11-year-old and a 14-year old!) and I still have a bunch left to do around the... read more

Hi, dear readers! So sorry that it’s been so long since my last post.  Since I last was able to contribute to ArsC, life has been…interesting.  There’s been ups and downs, and I’m pretty sure I was sliding sideways, even, for awhile!  It appears that the fun times are cycling... read more

Howdy, folks! Just a quick post to let you know I’m back to the world of Ars Compendium - after a 4 month absense!  I can’t wait to get busy posting again - I have so much to share that I barely know where to get started!  First up will be a piece on MySpace - reactionary in nature, because... read more

Howdy, ya’ll! It’s been far too long since I’ve written here, so thought I’d put up a brief post tonight, to share a few scattered thoughts!  (What can I say - life’s busy!) I just took my dogs for their before-bedtime potty walk, and when I walked into the 45 degree Texas... read more

I have to share a funny (ish) story. Have you ever had a hungry garbage disposal?  This morning, around 6:20, when I’m usually settling down to write for an hour before heading to my “real” job, I was in the kitchen merrily rustling through the fridge, looking for stuff that had date... read more

Where has this ArsC editor been for the past two months since her last personal post?  My goodness…the list is long. In my professional life, I’ve changed careers.  Ending 4 years in the healthcare industry, I’ve moved to the airline industry.  I’m very excited about the change... read more

Since Chris and I got married in May, we’ve consistently fielded the question of when we were going to have children.  In fact, we started fielding that question shortly after we became engaged, about 9 months before the wedding.  The irony of the amount of time between his proposal and the wedding... read more

If you clicked on this title thinking the article would offer tips on dating through MySpace or other “adult activities”…sorry! MySpace has become known as a hangout for “kids” - the pre-teen and high school set that spend their spare time tooling around the cyberspace that... read more

Good morning, all! I had another interesting experience while driving to work this morning, and so just wanted to take a few minutes to give my two cents on drivers - bad drivers, that is! Now, to some extent, this is the pot calling the kettle black.  I have a heavy foot, which I will readily admit. ... read more
