The Trying, the Failing, and the Doing

| May 11, 2013

Few things are more weakening to a culture than raising its children to believe that “trying your best” and failing can ever mark the end of accomplishment. Teaching that failure is a black mark on your soul. That it’s always best to play safe in all things. Bullshit. If you’re worth knowing, you’ve fallen off […]

The Tempest Has Left the Teapot

| May 4, 2013

Further to the outage warning we posted day before yesterday, as of last night, all our websites have been migrated to the new server. Allegedly, this should put paid to those pesky slowdowns and blackouts of recent history – a claim made more credible by the fact that it didn’t come from any government source.

Worldly Wisdom Wednesday – The Power of a Name

| April 24, 2013

Yesterday, Mrs. LFM and I learned that the child we are expecting to be born this coming August is a boy. Evidently, even in matters that are beyond the reach of conscious control, we are still traditionalists. So now, the subject of naming this boy can be addressed. Unlike other parents who go at the […]

Learn to Use Your Howl

| April 13, 2013

There is a sign by the main drag in Bedford, Nova Scotia right now that makes reference to a historical event – that the first telephone in the community was installed in the office of the local physician. This begs the question of exactly who, in the name of Hell, was expected to call it? […]

The LFM Posse Seized the Day!

| April 12, 2013

Last Sunday’s feature, Rightful Indignation and Facebook Need to Meet, put a spotlight on some particularly vile bullshit that was being permitted to exist and circulate all too freely on facebook. I asked for the support of all loyal LFM readers who were users of facebook in targeting the offenders through complaints to the website’s […]
