Over the weekend the kids and I were talking about Christmas music.

tinkercreek comments on Dec 10, 2019:

I think that having been involved in choral music (40 yrs for me!) provides a unique appreciation for music that others may categorize, judge, or just find annoying. Hearing show tunes, ballads, or religious music can take me back to that wonderful work, camaraderie and stage time that I loved so much, despite the music's origin. And BTW, much of the most splendid music originated in churches, likely due to available resources and need. The current assault of 'popular' holiday music does get tiring, and I avoid that. Skilled, blended voices and instruments that produce beautiful songs and beloved memories will always be a joy for me!

"God killed"? That would actually be ascribing the action of either natural process, accident or other humans to be 'act of god', as it suits the intended lesson. Magical thinking at its best.

I had just received the most disturbing scammer call.

tinkercreek comments on Jul 23, 2021:

My neighbor and good friend actually complied with something like that last year, as the call came when she was sleepy and scared her, thought she had charged something incorrectly. She gave her Visa # & code and had her ID stolen and some $$ charged, went through an awful time getting things sorted.

After exploring my family history over the past couple of years, I developed a belief that everyone should know the truth of their DNA connections. Always having been the darkest of my sisters, and frequently questioned as the 'little Indian" when young, I now know that my mother's lineage does contain Shawnee, and my father's "Bulgarian" father was from dark Greek & MidEastern/Indian sourcing. No more imaginings for me!

tinkercreek comments on Sep 1, 2019:

His "agenda": in town on business? If that seems plausible and still worth a meeting, sounds like good reason for extreme caution on your part, and other comments are also on point. Above all, if you do choose to meet, maintain control. NOT at his hotel for even a moment. Choose a very public space like coffee shop or restaurant, and maintain your own transportation. If the lack of planning turns out to have some explanation, it will be worth meeting again when you are more confident of him.
