When Will This Stop Being a Thing???

Good Afternoon my Lovies. I hope you all had a great day, and hopefully on your way home from work. It's been a weird ass kinda day for me and I am finally taking the time to sit back and write.

Before I begin writing what is on my mind, I would like to wish a Blessed Christmas to all my (Greek) Orthodox friends and family...

Καλά Χριστούγεννα

The topic on my mind today is something that really irks me, and I feel I need to express it AGAIN, which really surprises me, but shouldn't really at this point. See, I have friends and family who come in all shapes, sizes, colours, races and anything else you can think of; so talking about this, is very close to my heart.

I have friends who are gym buffs... I mean, work out everyday, at least once a day. They are fit and really work on their physique and I admire their drive. I also have friends who are naturally on the thinner side and have a great build, thanks to the genetics they were born with; while others I know are a bit chunkier. I even have friends who are obese. I do NOT discriminate against any of them, because I was once a very thin and fit woman... NOW??? Not so much!!!

The one thing that boggles my mind is hearing how certain people are constantly bashing others, having not clue why or the circumstances causing another to look the way they do... Not that it really is any of their business anyways!

I got into an argument of sorts with someone a little while ago, who thought calling people on the larger side "whales". I am sorry, but I don't tolerate that shit. This was coming from a person who is very fit, and clearly not suffering from any sort of ailments ... you know how I know that? 

They wouldn't have said a fkn thing, if they did because a lot of people who have more weight and do eat healthy and do as much exercise as they can, are the way they are; thanks to medications or medical conditions they have... not that they chose to have them!!!

I also have a major disdain for people, particularly women (I find do this), who constantly feel the need to bash other women and their looks. See, I have a lot of guy friends, and a few of them post pictures of women who are in incredible shape. You know there is going to be an ignorant comment from someone at some point; but I never understood why. It takes countless hours to achieve that build of body... the discipline that is needed to maintain it is incredible. I have mad respect for women (and men) who can do that.

Maybe it is just me, but I feel people who constantly have to degrade people; either have a serious hate for themselves or simply love being bullies. People already put so much pressure on themselves, do they really need to be bashed from their peers??? How about loving people for who they are... not what they look like... 

JUST A THOUGHT!!!

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
