Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s CCHEMuse.
What’s the story behind your name? I wish I had some mystical reasoning behind my choice of handle….in actuality it’s my old blog alias & it defines who I am: Conservative, Catholic, Home Educating, Muse. Yes, “Muse” – as in GODDESS!! Okay – not really goddess — just “Muse” because I ramble about nothing in particular from time to time, but in my own private world it all makes sense….have I ever told you I think the guy that invented the Pringle’s canister was a genius?!
Where do you live? Well, in the old Beetle Bailey comics, they called it Camp Swampy, but we call it Fort Stewart, GA….pretty area, about an hour west of Savannah where Paula Deen makes a mean pot pie!!
How old are you? Ouch…..according to the calendar, I’m just starting to squint towards 40……but according to the way I feel, I’m easily 92…..
Tell us briefly about yourself. Well, I’m a proud, Proud, PROUD ARMY wife of a deployed soldier who is serving again in the sandbox over there…..I’m also momma to four — 1 college double major (Culinary / Psychology – not sure HOW that happened!), 1 USMarine, and two cute blondes – 1 just started high school & the other just started fifth grade….hmmmm – maybe the calendar is right….we’ve also got a shepherd (Yo Adrian), a lab (Zoe), and a psychotic cat (Peyton) to round out the brood……..Okay – if I tell you the rest, you still have to let me play here, alright…..I’m a vegan, I do believe in Roswell, and I don’t believe we ever walked on the moon — other than that, I’m perfectly conservative!!
Name one use for a liberal. Gosh – only ONE?? Ummm…..target practice readily pops to mind…..or IED shield……either way works – oh – only one – yeah – target practice for sure…
How long have you been reading IMAO? Actually, GW (that’s my hubby – yes, his name is GW, yes, the rest is the same too, and yes, we’re actually related….) found you guys about 2 years ago while searching for conservative t-shirts, but I didn’t start reading faithfully until he deployed, so, about a year……
What’s your favorite IMAO post? That’s a tough one….I love the IMAO Condensed series….Harvey‘s the bomb…..and the Fred Thompson facts are a riot…….but honestly, I think I’m most looking forward to the Ronin Profiles when I tune in each day now — it’s kindda nice to see the ‘real people side’ of the world renown IMAO blog – you’ve got your own cult following…I might start selling ‘IMAO Groupie’ t-shirts or something….
What’s you favorite political issue? Right now it’s a toss up between the War on Terror and Illegal Immigration…..I still think we should flatten everything that doesn’t say USA and say to hell with it…..
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Website, no — blog that drones on & on about nothing, YES! Nothing much of any real interest to anyone other than my soldier – it’s the way I kept him linked to the girls….but now he can only access it from certain areas within that place with the airport, so – yeah – just a bunch of ‘what matters most to me’ stuff! But, if you’re so inclined, be my guest! http://peytonsmom.blogspot.com/
Do you think flamethrowers should be used by the U.S. military again? While I won’t answer that directly, I will say that I think the Geneva Conventions & the Law of Armed Conflict are a little too restrictive – what’s the point when WE’RE the only ones upholding the standard…..and in some of the close arms combat we’ve seen recently, I can see where the revival of the flamethrower idea has merit….Gives a whole new meaning to ‘fight fire with fire!’ Plus our guys can roast marshmallows in their down time!
If you commented that you want to be included before, you’re still in the running. You can also comment in this post; just make sure you fill in your e-mail on the comment form (only I can see it so you don’t have to worry about getting spam). Eventually we’ll get to everyone. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far!
“GW (that’s my hubby – yes, his name is GW, yes, the rest is the same too, and yes, we’re actually related….)”
A Vegan, Roswell believin’, no moon landin’ brother marier. I is skeered.
Heh. Just kidding. Thanks to the Hubby and the Marine child for the service. To you for supporting them and for the comments which I have oft times found quite amusing.
Love your postings, CCHEMuse. Thanks for making me laugh five out of four times!
Normally, I think people who don’t believe in the moon landing and do believe in Roswell are crazy……………..but since you’re a conservative and a catholic, I’d be willing to listen to your arguments. Please thank your hubby and your kid for serving our country. I think of people like them daily.
Yay for Army wives! And a yay for Marine moms! Even though you are a vegan, you are still cool in my book. And it’s a short book.
//I don’t believe we ever walked on the moon//
OMG! I thought I was the only conservative who thought this! I just think those pictures look too fake. What about the sound? WHY DOES THE MOON LANDSCAPE LOOK JUST LIKE A PATCH OF LAND IN NEVADA!!!
I’s ashamed…welcome to the Ronin Pile!
LOL! A Culinary/Psychology major. If that’s not a Food Network show then I’ll eat my hat, lightly braised with a pinch of transference.
As for the Fake Moon Landing, that would mean my grandpa, a man entirely unable to tell a fib, was part of the greatest Fib in History. He was an aeronautical engineer for Apollo 1 through 13, specializing in the design of the lunar module. I’m sorry folks, like all conspiracies, the mental pole vaulting required to disprove it with secrets and lies dwarfs the real live engineering that made it succeed.
Give your Soldier and Marine a holler from me. 🙂
thank you for what you and your other half is doing. being an Army wife is a big job in it self please tell your other half to keep his chin up, his head down and watch his six. me being Irish I lift a glass in his name, being Catholic I light a candle for you and him. Bid all peace love and understanding.
The best part of the Ronin profiles are finding out the backstory of brilliantly witty homeschooling women like CCHEMuse (and others). Often an overworked, underpaid, oh yeah, and blatantly ignored segment of the population, IMAO gives them centerstage and top billing. Really cool. Now if you would just see about getting them a raise in pay while you’re at it.
“I can see where the revival of the flamethrower idea has merit….”
Damn skippy! I for one think we could use them around here! But you can’t give them to the Infantry…gotta leave them with the Combat Engineers…hey, its what we do right!! Hope everything goes well when your hubby comes back. I’ve also been around the ‘big airport place’ for what seems like an alternate lifetime now and to use the word ‘surreal’ just doesn’t cut it.
This was – without a doubt – one of the most fun exercises of my life!! Thank you FrankJ for finally pulling my name out of that wicked large hat of yours! (those unmarked bills are in the mail!!)
Very, very nice to meet each of you guys ^^up there^^ too….I think these are so fun because certain topics are discussed that would never make it to the main page & goodness knows you guys NEVER would’ve found my blog! (Honestly – how many of you randomly search ‘army spouse homeschooling mom non-meat eating irish catholic moon landing conspiracy believing nutcase related to the president’?? I’m pretty far out there & that’s not even something I’d do!!)
Take care guys — we started school again on Monday, so I’m off to make homemade muffins (no butter, no eggs!!) for the blondes and get them up — if you’re ever in Camp Swampy, look us up!
Back to bake / school / lurk mode!!
Never trust someone who doesn’t eat flesh!
Just kidding, CCHEMuse. I could stand to add more veggies to my mass.
Well, you sound a bit “touched” in the head, but we love you anyway. Just don’t start tellin’ people that Bush was in cahoots with Bin Laden & Saddam, and we’ll all get along famously.
Love your comments & keep on keepin’ on! 😉
CCHEMuse,
Great post. Don’t worry about being alone out there. I also believe there is a town named Roswell in New Mexifornia or at least somewhere out west. And I know for a fact I’ve never mooned while landing. (Not even on that “Mile High Club” adventure weekend thing)
mmmmmm….marshmellllooowwwsss……auuuuggggggg(think Homer) oh yeah…I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one that thinks we never touched the moon, and Roswell really happened. I wish someone would convince my wife. And a special thanks to those that serve. GOD Bless!!
