Really?!
“I didn’t mean to say what I said. I wasn’t trying to insult all blanks. Just the ones who fit the description.“
Yes, you did actually. You claim you aren’t a bigot but then you make a blanket statement about a certain occupation or religion it is the same as if you were talking smack about another race. Bigotry comes in many forms. You only ‘apologized’ when I called you out on it.
Do not paint a whole community with the same brush if ONE person does something you don’t like. Do not expect it to go unnoticed when you do it.
I am walking away from a group I used to enjoy because of things like this. Some people in there have become too critical of others and that bothered me. Then, in this case, I felt extremely insulted and am finding it very difficult to forgive this person because she does this too often, and with her backhanded apologies, expects quick forgiveness. Not going to happen.
Are we heading to swamp yard 2014?
Had a delightful day yesterday even with the rain. G and I went out to lunch at Lily Sushi and Grill http://www.lilysushigrill.com/ and then shopping at Target. We didn’t buy much, but as usual I spent more than she did. LOL!
I hope the two days of rain we’re in for don’t make our yard a complete swamp, because the weather for a few days after that is looking wonderful. I’d love to get out in the yard and work a bit.
Patty thought she’d melt and it was merely a drizzle. We had to push her out the door every time. Gavin doesn’t care, his philosophy is: When you’ve got to pee you’ve got to pee.
At least it’s NOT this.
Have you ever…
Had a sneezing fit so bad you thought your head would explode?
Tripped over your own feet in public and pretended you meant to do it?
Walked into a wall?
Stepped into a hole and sprained an ankle?
Felt you had to apologize to someone for your dog’s over enthusiastic welcome?
Today was klutz day here. Can you tell?
If you had a secret room…
What would it look like? Where would it be?
The side you see here would be my secret room. If I had this room, I’d spend most of my time in there. The rest of my time I’d spend in the garden.
You all have a good one!
Had fun yesterday.
I really enjoyed going out to lunch with my friend G. We went to Chili’s and had flat bread pizzas and topped it off by sharing a volcano cake topped with ice cream coated in a chocolate shell. Afterwards we went wandering around a mall working off the meal.
I found the dessert plates to go with my dishes and bought them. I am so tickled I can add to my china as I want. I never had any that I could do that with before. I think I’ll gift us with a nice platter for our anniversary.
I’m surprised. I am now 60. Who knew? I remember when I thought I’d never make it to 30. Funny, I don’t feel any different mentally than I did at 30. Physically? Well, yeah. Growing older isn’t for sissies.
You all have a good one!
Holy Crap! Another year just whizzed past.
For my birthday I asked for…
Didn’t get it. So I asked for…
Didn’t get that either…next, I asked for…
Yep, you’re right, I didn’t get that either. Sigh.
Heck, I didn’t even get…
I did get
I love this.
You all have a good day!
I hope you all had a good day!
Lovely day here yesterday. Plenty of sunshine to warm us and melt more snow. We can see a lot more of the yard now. The most delightful thing of all was hearing the birds rejoicing in the day.
The dogs pranced about like puppies, and I’m sure they read the clocks. Exactly at five, Gavin began to scold me for his dinner. I was hoping to have an hour’s reprieve. Nope. He never let up until I walked to the kitchen and picked up their food dishes. These dogs are such a hoot.
Teetering on the edge
That’s me, teetering on the edge of sanity and 59. In a couple of weeks I’ll be over the edge and hit 60. OMG! 60! I never imagined hitting 60. Seems as though, after this winter, I won’t exactly hit 60 as much as it will hit me.
Just took the dog’s outside and it is a mere nine degrees. About takes your breath away out there. The forecast says it will drop to 3 degrees before morning.
I really need Spring to hurry up and get here before I lose the few threads of sanity holding me here. I want to get out of the house, go for walks, go fishing, work on my garden, play in the dirt and get my sanity back on track. This winter was far too long and too brutal.
Do you see it?
There is a stray cat around here. Yesterday it was enjoying a long snooze in a sunny spot on the roof of the building across from us. It sure is a pretty cat. Nicest shade of red I’ve ever seen on a cat.
If my dogs liked cats, I’d be inviting this one in for sure.
You all have a good one and stay warm.
Cabin fever cure…get out of the damned house!
Yes, I actually got out of the house today! G and I went to a nearby mall for lunch and some retail therapy. We stayed there for hours, wandering through every store. I almost cried when we found my favorite store was gone. Coldwater Creek is no longer in that mall, we have to travel over South Mountain to another more distant mall to find one. They are the only ones that have jeans that fit me right.
I should never go near stores. I spent more than she did. Again. Came home with bejeweled flip-flops and cute shoes for the conference in May.
We both feel better having gone out and away from home.
You all have a good one!
