Immunization Exemption in college
This is a post for those of you that do not immunize but want to go to college.
I will point out that anyone can say they have a religious exemption due to the vagueness of the word religion. If it is a belief then it is a religion. If you think immunizations are harmful to your body then this is a belief. It might be backed by medical studies but for every study you read about the negatives effects there are many studies to counter it. It depends on where the money comes from to fund these studies.

The flow of the moon
by Starr
Everything ugly sticks out before my flow with the waxing moon and I seek refuge.
That is the state of pms
I want to be guarded from the ugly. And soothed gently with love and words of comfort that argue my darkness my insanity. That seems too much to ask. So I should simply run and hide with my fear and demons.
Then I will raise my head in a few days with cramps keeping me grounded and earthly as can be, my heavy flow that now as I age dictates staying inside while the moon is full.
Seems the wisdom of age is tempered with the bodies frailties does it not?
After this week I am fierce, positive and can do anything especially love and make babies .
Maybe not perfect ones anymore.
This is the ebb and flow of my body as perfect as God made the design I must learn to embrace all that it is.
Poem written by Starr
“To know how to grow old is the master-work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.”

Cutting Hair
A short play by me
Mother cutting sons hair.
”You know your mothers crazy.” say’s mother
Mother using hair trimmer on son, concentrating on what she is doing.“You talking about Granma?” son says, not moving.
“I mean your mother.” Mother repeats as she gets out the scissors to trim the rough edges.
“I know.” Son says after a timid pause,
Then mother calmly says, “I have to live a crazy life to survive my craziness. I can’t be living this normal life, it makes me crazy. Living in suburbia. Doing the same old things they do in suburbia like shop and go to the movies and eat out all the time.”
“That’s what your doing now,” son says while staring in the mirror to keep a watchful eye.
”I know, and it’s driving me crazy.
I need to live my crazy life so I feel normal,” As she calmly put the scissors down.

WordPress or Blogger?
I use WordPress and Blogspot for different blogs. I started with blogger but wanted a self-hosted blog so did my next blog on WordPress.
My mother, out of the blue, got Gullian Barret Syndrome. She is a 72-year-old woman who went from playing tennis 4 days a week to being in the hospital for over a month in excruciating pain that took weeks to diagnose. My sister was sending these very lengthy email updates every few days to all her friends. I had heard of blogs but did not really know what they were. I was wondering if this would be a good way to tell my mother’s story to a wide array of people. I know it is a rare disease but it seemed like everyone we told said they knew someone who had been diagnosed with this but they knew nothing of it. I love to write and figured I needed a way to channel my frustration in a productive way, so voila, I started a blog.
This process all started in December 2008.
I went to Dictionary.com to see what it had to say.
Definition of blog: an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog.
Example: Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.
Then I found a site that teaches basic blogging for free then more advanced blogging for a fee. I would refer you to it but I just spent the last 15 min looking for it and it is no longer there. I only did the free part because I was itching to start. Patience is not my virtue.
