Opinions:
They’re like armpits. Everyone has a couple and most stink. Except ours. Ours are sensible, rational, relatable and these days, far from common. (Opinions, not armpits. Our armpits are probably just like everyone else's.) We’re also humble and will always deliver our opinions in a comforting, safe, warm and friendly manner. (This is usually where Misty's eyebrow peaks and she says something like “No one believes you.”)
For now, this is just a quick intro while we get everything set up. We didn’t want to let the domain name slip by. The one without the hyphen is for sale for over $3K. That’s a little more than we're willing to invest right now. So, we got hyphenated.
Once we get going, our plan is to post our shared blog and individual blogs here. Two per week each. We need a place to vent and our “psychoses” are such that we need to believe someone, somewhere is reading them and benefiting from them. We’re also going to do a video-blog so you can hear and see us (you lucky ducks, you!) once a week. We might increase that later on, but once a week is a good place to start.
We took our name to mock a sort of well known-ish speech by a recently elected Communist. We like Individualism. A lot. The idea of the "warmth of collectivism" makes our skin crawl. Make no mistake, we are conservatives. We are Christians. We are not either Democrat or Republican. We are something like independent mixed with libertarian and we are Constitutional Originalists.
Richard is a disabled vet. He served in the Army for 13 years, finished his career there as an NCO, and had a stroke that should have killed him after Iraq. In spite of his disability, he’s always, always looking for something he can do to not be disabled. He’s an inventor and a very handy guy!
Misty spent her “career” bouncing between working various jobs when her family’s needs required it, but trying to stay focused on the kids. She trained as a Professional Midwife (not the nurse, the direct entry, home-birth kind,) but has sustained various major injuries in the last few years that have put an end to any really physical work. She is looking forward to becoming a rugged individual again!
As of the date of this opening, we’ve been married seventeen years. We both left abusive marriages in our thirties, we were both determined not to marry ever again, and we both got blindsided by God’s plans for us.
Check back in a week (2 Feb. 2026, 9AM MST) and see if there’s anything here to catch your interest. We should definitely have something substantive up by then. There is so much going on in the world, and we have loads to say!
Lastly, don’t expect any new content on Sundays. That day belongs to our Father in Heaven. Until Feb. 2, God bless!!
