Am I Missing Something?

I am back, probably the first time in a while, where I am writing more than one entry in a day. 

As you know, I write about all kinds of issues... some of them personal, some of them are in the news, while others are just circumstances I have observed with other people. 

(You know I don't mention names, so I am just clarifying that even if some of these blurbs seem to be about me, they are not. I simply am not one to reveal names).

The topic I wanna talk about, is the age old question... CAN MEN AND WOMEN ONLY BE FRIENDS???

I really want to know what the general consensus is on this topic. What do you all think? What are your experiences??

I can only speak of my own experiences, so please don't think I am speaking about everyone in the world and their friendships with the opposite sex. As I have mentioned numerous times, I have more men as friends than women. One of the biggest reasons for this is because I find a lot of women are bitchy and gossips. They are petty and annoying. I cannot stand jealousy, it is such a wasted emotion. 

I also don't like women who are insecure in their relationships and the BIGGEST thing that bugs me, is how much they want their partners to change... if you want to change your man... go find another one; let the one you're with be who he is, not who you want him to be!!!

I firmly believe that men and women are fully capable of being friends and ONLY friends. I also recognize that some friendships there is definitely sexual undertones to them. As adults though, most people know this and don't cross the line; especially if they are in a loyal, good and healthy relationship. 

At the end of the day, if you don't trust your partner, than you either need to look really deep into yourself OR you need to reevaluate if this relationship is for you. Without trust, there is nothing... FACTS ARE FACTS!!!

This is my two cents on this subject. I firmly believe men and women can be strictly friends, and more often than not, those relationships are far "tighter" than 2 women being friends. Please don't get it twisted, I do have female friends... the ones I do, I consider sisters because they have the same mentality as me, and don't have a jealous bone in their body.

So what are your thoughts on this age old debate. Let me know, I am truly interested!!!

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...

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...

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...
