Life Just Rains it Down on Ya Sometimes

Well. It's been a spell.
And a bit.


Life's brought many twists and turns since my last entry. 4 beloved people + my dearly beloved cat died all in the span of a few weeks. Haven't felt much like blogging since.

I have gone through just about every emotion in the last two months. At the moment I'm pulling out of feeling empty and hollow.
But the memory of each person still lingers......
All the things I wanted to say, express, share.....
Time just wasn't on our side.

Life is a strange arrangement; you never know what it's going to throw your way.

The bottom line is love. Throw in some humour and hopefully the zest for life keeps afloat amongst laughter and living.

I'm definitely telling my loved ones just how much I love them at each parting.
If I lose them or they lose me - I'll have no regrets.




On a more cheerful (shocking - to me, that is - erm, or was) note:
Having read
Dooce's latest blog of 9 Aug 2005 - well, I hafta say I was picking my chin up off the floor. I followed the link in her blog to Maggie's. Had a good belly laugh reading about their escapades in San Francisco. But of course, I had to click on the link in Maggie's blog. To a shop. Offering all sortsa - 'toys'.

Oh.

My.

Word.

Heather you are not (or weren't) the only vibra virgin left on the planet. 
I mighta had rug burns on my chin if I'd been dragged into that shop. 

After some seriously educational browsing, I'm seriously considering a g1vibe. Seems it comes with a free gift and free delivery - in discreet packaging.

What the hell; you only live once. Might as well live it to the fullest.

PC Mad; Outta Balance

I wrote a long blog today about political correctness and how making generalisations is a dangerous and stupid thing.

I was going to tie it into smoking. Eating bad foods; eating too much. And how one is vilified while another is ignored. But I can't be bothered to write it out beautifully.

To my mind - if God made it - it's safe to eat in moderation.
Take margarine, for example. It's an ion away from being plastic. Yet, it's touted as the healthy alternative to butter. We are only beginning to see the effects of processed and modified foods. It's not looking good. Butter is not unhealthy when taken in moderation, yet butter is getting a bad rap. I go crazy when I hear silly arguments or hear someone regurgitating silly sound bytes without having really probed the efficacy of said sound byte.

Don't whine that smokers drain the health care system whilst ignoring the fastest growing drain on the health care by obesity and other self indulgent practises.

People must retain choice. People must be considerate of others at the same time.

Lastly, not everyone reacts the same way to substances put into their bodies. In other words, those stupid shock warnings found on cigarette packets that say things like 'smoking kills' should read 'smoking can kill people who are particularly susceptible.' That's just one example - but all warnings should have that appendage because it's individual susceptibility that determines whether or not one develops lung cancer, or miscarries a baby or develops emphysema...

Bottom line:
Clean up your own garden before telling someone else how to tend theirs. And stop trying to legislate things like smoking...........and morality. Allowing this to happen is tantamount to giving up all right to choose.

Plus, your fat, perverted arse will be in the hot seat once you've totally vilified smokers and society moves onto its next target.
