At Acobay, it's all about the stuff

Okay, if you're bored with the usual social networking thing - or even better, if you're so caught up in it, you want MORE social networking possibilities, Acobay has a whole new way of networking.
Acobay is a consumer community. You go in and register for your account. It takes all of about a minute. Really easy process. Then you're on your way.
So how do you get your profile going? Well, here's the cool part - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STUFF! The stuff? Yes! Your stuff! What kind of phone do you use? What kind of car do you drive? What magazines do you read? What movies do you like? What are your favorite restaurants? What are your favorite toys? Anything!
You plug in your stuff and you're automatically networked with other people with the same stuff! You can discuss your stuff, and then you can find all the other things you have in common. Pretty cool idea, I think. I'm signed up.

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but
