I grew up in a mid-sized town on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. When I was a kid I had friends who lived next door, across the street and around the block. As a teenager my friends lived a little further away, but still in the same basic area.Kearns was often looked down on by those in neigbhoring cities as the "wrong side of the tracks." But it was my "wrong side of the tracks". It was

I had previously written about the songs that say something about my life. Today I realized that I had omitted a very important song in all that. As I was driving home from taking my son to jazz band practice before school I heard playing on the radio Eternal Flame by the Bangles.The significance of this song goes back a little over 20 years...at a dance on April 14, 1989. On March 31 of that

A friend of mine teaches at Utah State University. He gave his students an assignment to come up with some songs that they would consider their "life" trak and write it. They also included with their paper a CD of the songs that were chosen.I decided to do it as well.These are songs that mean something to me in a real way. At some time or another most of these songs have been written about by me

I have never been a fan of Hannah Montana. In fact, I have been known to roll my eyes when the youngsters around here get giddy at the sound of her name. But my heart has been tugged on by a song by the very same Miley Cyrus.I think about my oldest son. I think about the mountains he seems to have in front of him. I think about the mountains I keep climbing. I think that perhaps when I have

My hubby has a work shop in our back yard. It is equiped with various power tools and sundry pieces of wood. I recently gave him a wood lathe as a birthday present. Since then he has spent some quality time out in his shop. Yesterday I went out there to see if he was ready to go, as we were meeting with friends that evening. I saw that he was covered in sawdust. His reply to my inquiry was that

Last night while watching and listening to some music videos on Youtube I was taken back, as I often am, to some place in the past. I have been accused of being nostalgic and even hopelessly romantic. I am likely guilty of such. There are previous blog entries right here on Paperclippings as evidence--especially when music is involved.Such was the case last night--as I listened to John Denver's

One of my middle school age sons rates his school day on how many of certain words he hears on a given day. The less he hears, the better he rates his day. As he hops in the van for his ride home from school he gives me his tally for the day. On particularly bad days he is near tears as he tells me the tally for the day.My niece, who is the same age, complains to me that the words spoken while

We discovered that we have a nut dispenser in our freezer. Actually, we had a nut dispenser. It all started when I was defrosting our upright freezer to make room for some meat we had ordered. I was putting everything I could inside our freezer that is part of our refridgerator unit. I put things where ever I could...including on top of the ice in the ice maker.After I defrosted the freezer I put

What do you say to someone who says that you may write one last time but that they will not respond? For a year and a half I contemplated this very subject because I was given that directive as a long time friend had walked away.I knew that I could not waste words. I knew that I had one chance. Then I heard a song that I had heard many times before. But this time I really heard it.The following

A couple months ago we found ourselves the proud owners of a cute little kitten. We learned, from the people who gave us the kitty that she was female.Well, today we took "Bessie" to the Vet to get fixed...........We found out later that this cute little girl kitty was, in fact, a male.!!!!!!!!Okay, so we didn't check the parts very carefully.Next time we won't believe what the previous owners

Paperclippings is branching out. I have joined forces with Phelonius to produce Res Civitatis. With so much to talk about in the political arena it was only a matter time before that subject should get its own forum. Res Civitatis is a place where we can discuss our shared Conservative values and yet still keep our respective blogs for what we had originally intended them for...more trivial

The following is from an assignment my 12-year old son did at school. I thought it was worthy of a post."Attitude can change very many things. When you have a leash on your attitude, you can practically change the mood of not only you but everyone around you. If you have a good attitude, everyone will probably like you more!"

The LDS Church asked its members in California to support prop 8. They had the choice to support the LDS leadership in this or to ignore that request. It did not ask Utah Mormons to contribute in anyway to this cause. The leadership of the LDS Church, itself, did not contribute in time or money except to fly one or two of their leaders to California to talk to the members there. Yet it is Utah

This was written by one of my sisters. I post it here with permission.According to Karl Marx, socialism will be achieved through a class struggle and a “Proletarian revolution.” This revolution is the stepping-stone to socialism.A Proletarian revolution is defined by Wikipedia.com as a “social and/or political revolution in which the working class attempts to overthrow the bourgeoisie.”
