I will be going to bed sortly. I think.
I was tired, starting to get dopey, but it was only about 9pm, the boys were still up, so I couldn't go to bed yet.
Then as they were going to bed, I sorta woke up again.
Blah pooey.
I'm going to force myself to go to bed, I have to. Even if it means laying there all night staring at the ceiling.

I had read Shadowscope's feed earlier on the Westboro Baptist Church, sorry I didn't leave a comment Richard, I got all wrapped up watching that very disturbing family.
All 7 videos uploaded.
That family sickens me. They think they are being courteous and kind, warning people that they will be going to hell, but honestly, that makes you feel sick in the pit of your stomach, and turns non-believers, and even some believers, further away from a god. People don't want to be associated with that kind of Christianity.
I felt sorry for the children though, horrible for them.
They are raised in that life, never knowing any other way unless they leave the family. If they do that, they are never allowed back, disowned.
But the small children, 6-7 years old, being forced to hold up signs that say "fag troops", and not even knowing what it means.
Having to stand around and picket at funerals of dead soldiers, and on street corners, condemning people to hell, and having things thrown at their heads from moving cars, all because their parents are fanatics.
I'm not saying the people in cars throwing things are right by any means, they are not.
But the parents, who admit they are the most hated family in America, are putting their children at risk, in harm's way, just to say they are right and every one else is wrong.
And the daughters, the teenage daughters, who go to public school and are ridiculed, have no friends, have just accepted that they will never have a boyfriend or get married, because every one hates their family, it's just terribly sad.
You can see it when the BBC interviewer talks to them, that it bothers them, that they will never know love, never be or have a normal life.
They quickly hush him, nervously laugh, they don't want to discuss it.
The videos are an interesting look into the families lives, and worth watching if you have some spare time. The 7 youtube clips, average about 9 minutes each.

Hi Kat,
Remember me?
Jackie from MissRedBlog. I have not been around for a while (almost 4 years). I was thinking about you recently and decided to wander over here to see what is going on.
It has taken me ages to read through your posts (I think I went back 1 year).
Yours is still one of the most interesting and entertaining blogs I have ever read.
Take care of yourself and those boys.
Now I've found you again I will drop by more often. xxx

While they are evil and vile, there is a group that goes with them to protect families from seeing them at funerals. They are called The Freedom Riders. The are veterans who hold up flags, banners, and make human walls so the families can't see them at funerals. The Baptists tried pulling this at a local military funeral, and The Freedom Riders did a very good job.

Can you send me to an idiot-proof place to learn about feeds?
