Don't you hate it that the nation made such a big deal over Clinton lying about whether or not Monica Lewinsky gave him a blow job ("Impeach, Impeach!") and yet when Bush lied about starting a whole war, nobody even says one word? It still seems that the American people think that sex is bad, but violence is acceptable. from Tom Osborne [email] [homepage] 4:34 pm - Thursday,July 3, 2003

I feel for those poor Baby Blues kids. Yeah, at least she's not wiring their legs to the bed as a punishment for wetting the bed or throwing scalding hot coffee in their face when they spit food on the floor. But she does seem to be abusing them emotionally: "Did you like the Mother's Day card I gave you Mommy?" "No, the glitter on it made too much of a mess." I remember when I first went away to college as a freshman, I wrote my parents a long, enthusiastic letter about everything that was going in my exciting new world. My father's response was "it was entirely too long, nobody wants to read all that crap." He hasn't gotten one other letter from me since, and that was 37 years ago! The truth is, he's really not such a bad guy and I think he was only trying to help me "edit," but all he did was teach me the wrong lesson. from Tom Osborne [email] [homepage] 1:54 pm - Monday,May 19, 2003

thanx for your message about changing my name. it was a big decision, and i'm still having short moments of panic about it. was at a party with my boss shortly after telling him the news and he introduced me with my new name (the first time) and i had a brief shock! anyway, thanks for your supportive comments. it's nice to hear it - my family is a bit more tentative. from kimuchi [email] [homepage] 11:51 am - Tuesday,May 13, 2003

I've never seen "Baby Blues" and am not sure where it is printed, the Sunday paper, maybe? (Shows you I don't read the comic section.) However, it strikes me from what you said that the point of the comic is to express a general mailaise or dissatisfaction with the typical nuclear family set-up as narrowly defined by the most conservative elements of our culture. These people in the comic are "stuck" doing what they think they are "supposed to do," they hate it, feel they are just joylessly running on a treadmill, and yet are not innovative, creative, or brave enough to break out of it into something that would suit them more, like they clearly should (like we all should). Interestingly, the comic is a figment of the very society it is complaining about. Perhaps the writers ought to take some ideas from whatever suggestions you have been sending to them so that they can begin to show a way out for all those readers who see themselves in the comic and are likewise stuck. from Tom Osborne [email] [homepage] 4:45 pm - Tuesday,May 6, 2003

Thank you so much for your beautiful message in my guestbook regarding Josh. And you are right! On another subject, what do you think of that bill in Congress in throw out the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, that limits Presidents to two terms? A teacher friend of mine here said he is rereading Orwell's 1984, said it is an excellent manual to explain what is happening right now. from Tom Osborne [email] [homepage] 12:05 am - Wednesday,April 16, 2003

I'm looking forward to your anniversary entry! from Tom Osborne [email] [homepage] 2:19 pm - Monday,April 14, 2003

Reason the therapist cannot treat my child, is her dad has joint-legal custody of her. If he objects to ANY medical or educational or welfare issue - I cannot proceed. I guess if the dad isn't a nut job, its a good idea... I am going to a lawyer at 10 am tomorrow. I am going to see about petitioning the court for a psychiatric eval of dad, and to have his legal custody taken away, and only supervised visitation unless and until he gets on proper meds and therapy. Don't worry. I'll take care of kidlet! :-) Oh, and as for that whole "seeing the person - not the color" stuff? I belong to a Queer as Folk on-line community, and we get a whole lot of white het-chicks who cop out with that bs (or, rather they try to. We set 'em on the right track, pronto!) from Milkmaid [email] [homepage] 5:15 pm - Friday,April 11, 2003

Amen brother! "I don't see color" indeed -- STILL people not seeing that only white privilege allows that fallacy. from goodsandwich [email] [homepage] 9:50 pm - Thursday,April 10, 2003
