Talk Is Cheap
Talk is cheap when one uses Blogger to communicate through the written word. Can not get much cheaper than: free!
As I dismantle this blog ~ that is transfer it back to its original form as a website and get rid of other posts having nothing to do with Marys on the Web ~ I forgot to check the number of posts I published. Do not know if Blogger counts drafts in their post count. I have a lot of those sprinkled here and there. Had a bit more than 572 posts when I started the process. Copied posts to Notepad, so I could re-read what I wrote. Copied what I had to Word to do a word count.
24,541 words more or less
Yikes, I could have written a book by now, if only I knew what to write about that would make worthwhile reading. I admire authors' imaginations to come up with creative ideas. I have what it takes to write a book except the most important thing: an idea.
New (old) All About Mary link.

Black In Selma
"Black In Selma: The Uncommon Life of J. L. Chestnut, Jr." by J. L. Chestnut and Julia Cass is also subtitled: Politics and Power in a Small American Town.
One of Chestnut's clients was Mary Aaron. Her husband was accused of raping a white woman and she believed him innocent. Blacks routinely got railroaded in those days. Mary was not told where the incident was supposed to have happened or even what jail her husband was taken to. She had no money to hire a lawyer, but Chestnut took her case. 1/16/09
Read my review of this book here.

Brain Fog & It's All About Love
Brain Fog
Friday, Oct 19, 2007
Did not know there was such a term: brain fog. I guess those BC/BS workers and hospital staff never heard of it either, back in 1998 when my head was literally in a fog. Sigh."Life in a Fog" by Lizzie Flynn brought tears to my eyes, remembering.
It's All About Love
This video reminds me of my son-in-law and his interaction with my granddaughters. Makes me sad for me having never been "daddy's little girl" and sad for my children that never had those happy mommy-daddy-kids moments when growing up.
I do not know about you, but I would rather have that mama as First Lady in the White House, then Bill Clinton: playa, as First Man. By the time a man grows up enough to be president, he should have been able to overcome his addictions. (Bill says he has had help with his "sex addiction" since being forced to resign as President, whereas Barack has already overcame his.) July 5, 2007

Women Set On Fire By Men
HERE and HERE and HERE HE SETS DAUGHTER'S HOME ON FIRE and
HERE HE KILLS HER FIRST and HERE and HERE and HERE and
HERE SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE and ONE MORE.
A search for women setting men on fire just brought up more men setting women and children on fire. One woman set herself afire at a gas station.
At least mine had the sense to burn it down when no one was at home.
