Toddlers Toddlers are by nature selfish. The first thing that a toddler develops is the sense of self. It’s why the “Terrible Twos” are so terrible. They don’t yet comprehend anything outside of themselves; they don’t realize other people (and animals) have feelings just like they do. It’s not their fault, truly, it’s just biology….

Follow-Up – Why You Can’t Afford to Get Sick In America
So apparently Susan Cassidy at Progressive Libertarianism saw my entry in reply to her blog entry because she has now written a new entry. She’s vaguely back-peddling now saying she wishes me well but completely missing the point that her statement was not only absurd but heartless. As such, her comments WERE idiotic. In a…
Full Moon Series New Addition!
I’ve added another new piece to my ever-expanding Full Moon series of tree of life pendants! Purple Moon is now in stock! This is in addition to the Blue Moon, White Moon and, of course, very popular Halloween Moon already available in the shop. Several more variations will debut later this week; supplies are on…
Why You Can’t Afford To Get Sick Without Healthcare In America
Susan Cassidy at Progressive Libertarianism is an idiot. From my feature on CNN, there is this quote from a naysayer on the issue: “Her hand written letter says nothing of her having the freedom to get the service and pay out of pocket, at possibly an outrageous cost, but get the life-saving service none-the-less,” writes…

I am Obamacare and This Is CNN
Holy crap! I’m on CNN!. My story is up. And as of right now, it’s right on the main page too. Holy cow. How surreal is that?? To see yourself on the front page of CNN?? I’m kinda freaking the heck out right now. In a good way! You can still see my original I…
My Day With CNN
Ok, in all honesty, it was really my day with one reporter/photojournalist from CNN. Not like I had an entire satellite truck and crew here or anything! He got here a little after 1pm and was here until almost 5pm. He spent about an hour interviewing me first. This is a photo I took from…
Tropical Storm Debby
It’s been absolutely pouring here since yesterday. Non-stop. It’s raining sideways out there. All because of Tropical Storm Debby. Even though it’s on it’s way towards New Orleans, the way hurricanes and tropical storms spin, the back end is lashing the entire state of Florida, just drenching us. High winds, surf advisories, tornado warnings, flood…
This Week at PhoenixFire Designs
Some updates, some new additions and some restocks! I have some new pieces that need to be photographed and listed such as a blue lapis tree, a dark green aventurine in brown wire tree and some new peacock feather pendants! Look for those in the next few days. Also! I’m running a very special, very…
Post Hysterectomy – 8 Months Post Op
I haven’t updated in awhile so I thought I’d post another photo of the healing progress. June 5th was eight months post op from my Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) and my incisions are looking really good. The main scar on my left (viewer right) is fading nicely and is much less red then it was….
This, That and The Other
Love & the Neurologist Yesterday (Monday the 14th) Love had his follow-up with the neurologist. Turns out the CT scan he had done a few weeks ago was perfectly normal. See, Love has this “whooshing” which kinda pulses in his right ear. Had it for years. But, when the whole vertigo-turned-out-to-be-migraines attacks started a year…

I am STILL Obamacare
And I’ve been featured on the official Obama For America tumblr page! (click for larger) The image of course, is from the entry, I am ObamaCare that I initially posted in October 2011, but went viral in January 2012. Now, with the 2nd anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (or “ACA”), the President is collecting…
Post Hysterectomy – Almost 6 Months
Today is day 161 or 5.75 months since my surgery. Next week will be 6 months since my hysterectomy. Crazy to think six months has gone by already! In an effort to continue to help those looking for information and healing timelines for a hysterectomy, here’s where I am at. At six months, you are…
Bandwidth – The Revenge
And…we’re back. Again. Yesterday afternoon, we hit our bandwidth limit for the second time. (Using over 20GB of transfer just for the month of January!!) I didn’t bother emailing support asking for more because it was the last 1/2 day of the month and it would reset overnight for February. Well, this morning, I checked…
