Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
The Lord whose birth we celebrated but a few days ago spoke of separating the wheat from the chaff. Christian clergy everywhere should stop providing intellectual cover to so-called pro-choice advocates and call out the modern Aztec pseudo-Christians in clear and certain terms.
At this time last year, I was homeless, dealing with what mental health professionals call “unrelenting crisis,” and not knowing when or if I would be able to get my life back together. My choices were to be treated like a child in a homeless shelter or live somewhere on my own. Around this time, I started making plans to live in a tent regardless of how cold it might be. I had simply had enough of the New Horizons shelter in Manchester.
Maybe this year we need to go easy on ourselves. We’ve lived through a historical horror flick, and the fact that you’re reading this right now means you made it through this year. We made it through this year.
Exploring historic markers in the Dartmouth/Sunapee region turned up a rich chapter of regional NH history, from churches and bridges, to baseball.
I was sold in the first 10 minutes. The attention to detail was astounding. I suppose this attention to detail could be considered only possible due to the movie being animated, but I chalk it up more to the producers truly caring about music’s realism. They respected their audience enough to show the true aspects of music-making.
Twenty-twenty comes screaming to an end, a confusing, raging inferno of a year. This was a year that will be talked about only in hushed whispers by future generations. This was a year of forced mindfulness, where each day, sometimes each hour, appeared to signal some new cosmic shift – like being blindfolded, without a seatbelt, on a roller coaster.
Markers for cemeteries, meeting houses, mills, and civil rights activists can all be found in the Monadnock Region.
Dale the tuxedo cat made it home for Christmas. Carol the bulldog, if she recovers from surgery, needs a family to love her.
I know we’ve all been busy with Christmas and getting ready for new years 2021, so let’s take a time out and ‘relax’ to a game we can all play! This holiday season come check out ROCKET LEAGUE!!
But Christmas gift-giving, to me, seems to devolve into more demarcations between the “have’s” and “have not’s” in this country, which is antithetical to the spirit of the season.
Things will get tough upon release, and I can identify with that. You fought through your sentence and made it out in one piece, so that same hustle, grind, and fight has to be applied post-release. You’ve had months or years of (hopefully) strategic planning. It’s time to execute. It’s now the time to capitalize on opportunity. Whether this opportunity comes in the form of a job, training, or living with someone rent-free.
The number of people in this state who are working toward finding real solutions to end homeless instability and the number of grassroots organizations who have stepped-up to plug the holes that our current structural systems are unable to fill, makes me feel hopeful. However, if we are not including people with disabilities in solution-based decision making, we are losing the most important voices in this discussion and continuing to marginalize people in our community.
My husband and I are both New Hampshire natives but as we traveled throughout the state we continued to be amazed by how much we didn’t know. From the sign in Newmarket we learned that Wentworth Cheswill (1746-1817) was “among Newmarket’s best-educated and most prosperous citizens.” He is considered the first African-American citizen elected to public office in America; his grandfather was the first African-American to have owned land in New Hampshire. We discovered so many examples of New Hampshire citizens who were the first to do something; of bridges that were unique; of historic events that took place here. At the end of each day trip, we found ourselves anxious to learn more.
Whenever I know I have to do anything strenuous, I think back to eight years ago today actually, on December 19, 2012, when I was moving a dryer down to the basement, then 20 minutes later had a massive heart attack that almost killed me. Fortunately, with the prompt help of friends and doctors and nurses, I survived.
The fake news media is refusing to report that my book, “Fly Like The Seagull,” actually won both awards — and many other really huge awards that most people have never heard of because they’re only awarded to people with big brains — but all of the votes that many great people on the selection committees cast for me were tossed out or ignored.
Today I want to cover something that I have passionate about for almost six years now! One of my favorite places is my Twitch page, I recently hit the 1,000 follower mark AND received my FIRST payout on November 15. I have been averaging 16 hours a week live streaming since August 15, 2020.
PFAS chemicals are pervasive and are found in our drinking water, food, and in our wildlife. Many of these chemicals have been put into our communities through industrial pollution and by way of firefighting foam. PFAS chemicals are also found in clothing, cosmetics, and even in food containers.

Chanukah comes early this year — at least compared to Christmas, its unlikely twin on the winter calendar. It starts on December 10. We will light candles, we will spin tops, we will eat potato pancakes, and we will consider eating chocolate coins as well, even though most brands of Chanukah chocolate taste like wax
