Have you ever been spread too thin? Like butter and jelly on toast… and there’s just not enough to get all the corners. It’s edible but not as delicious as it could be. I’m like that. My company came and went, but I feel like I’m still run down. My husband and I are fighting a flu or cold or something too.

To top it off, I have too many pans in the fire. Tomorrow I’ll take one pan out by consolidating one more blog into this one. Actually, you might notice that I’ve already imported the few articles I wanted to save from there. Tomorrow is when I do the forwarding.

Anyway, that’s the good news. One less thing pulling me away from Heaving Dead Cats. Because we all want to heave dead cats, now don’t we! I sure hope we don’t catch this nasty cold we’re fighting off. If I disappear for a few days, it means I’m miserable, on the couch, unable to get to my computer. I’ll be back though. I make a mean chicken soup when I’m sick. I don’t think it gets me better any faster, but it sure is comforting.

We’re still looking for contributors and authors, whether you want to submit something once, or you want to do a regular post. Email me at heavingdeadcats@gmail.com.

I just barely survived having company for over a week. It was a near thing, but I somehow made it through without going totally crazy or killing my guests (my sisters-in-law). So I’ll get back in the swing of things as soon as I can, but the next three days will also be incredibly busy as I’m taking a motorcycle safety course.

Again, let’s hope I don’t kill anyone!

I hope you’re all doing fine and are happy.

Just a quick note to let you know we’re joining the Atheist Blogroll, so direct your attention to the shiny and new link on the right sidebar. I might not have the right code installed yet, but hey, I’m not that much of a geek.

My company arrived safe and sound, so I don’t have much free time. Don’t forget, we’re looking for YOU to post to HDC! Whether you want to post something just once, occasionally, or you’d like to do something more regularly, let us know!

What on earth is Neece on about with that title? Well, I have to ask you a question and I need to let you know that company is coming into town for a week or 10 days or some such nonsense.

Ok, first, I want an avatar! I have no idea how to get one. Can someone please tell me the mystical woo secret of having one when I comment on my own goofy blog? LOLz… ok.. so I’m not the sharpest stick in the tiger trap.

Anyway, my husband’s family is descending en masse tomorrow (actually tonight now that it’s after 2 am) sometime in the evening. So, his two sisters are staying here for over a week and I won’t get much time to be in front of my beloved computer.

Hopefully I’ll at least gather together some good bible thumping vs atheist banter for you since we’ll be surrounded by “good” catholics. At least the food is delicious! LOL!

Wish me luck. I really don’t like having company. Oh well. Social Obligations and all that nonsense!

It seems in America today, being an atheist is tantamount to being unpatriotic. We’re constantly labeled “militant” by christians. My friend Hess did a blog post about it which I thought made a lot of sense. He defined militant and passionate. I agree with him, I’m a passionate atheist. And I’ve honestly never met a militant one. I have met angry ones, though. But personally, I get angry too. I think we have a lot to be angry about.

Anyway, I’ve been quiet about my atheism for 8 years. I keep my mouth shut. I never confront people, I never even mention it to people. It’s a personal thing. Or it has been. I’m not ashamed of being godless. I just don’t care for confrontation, and I don’t like offending people.

But why should I have to hide who I am? It’s more acceptable to be gay than atheist now. But maybe if all of us closet heathens came out and showed that we’re here and we’re.. uh.. not queer necessarily.. uh.. relatively nice ethical people, it won’t be so polarized.

Ok, so that’s a pipe dream. But since I started Believers Anonymous, and now Heaving Dead Cats, I realize it’s time for me to stand up and be myself.

So instead of going by Fruitloop, I’m going to use my name. I’m Neece. And I’m an Atheist. And I’m a Good Person. Deal with it, christians.
