Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk

Page 139 of 365. 

Good Afternoon Lovies. It's the last day of Victoria weekend here in Canada, back to the grind tomorrow for most.I guess for some it sucked because it rained a few times (even some wicked storms), hope you all stayed dry and don't get sick from it.

Maybe it comes with age; maybe it comes with personal experiences; but I simply could care less about these long weekends, or any holiday really!!!

The summer long weekends usually mean, heavy drinking, getting high, and doing stupid shyt. Since I wasn't a drinker nor do any (street) drugs, I had the "joy" of dealing with belligerent and vile behaviour from at least a few.

We ALL know there are a few in every bunch

Nah, my ideal long weekend consists of being out in the woods, by a lake... fishing during the day and sitting by a fire later at night... becoming one with nature; listening to the loons, the wolves and various other creatures of the night. To me, that is heaven.

Now if people are going to party that way, they really should do it responsibly. Just because I get triggered (cPTSD) from drunk people and the smell of alcohol, doesn't mean I am lecturing people to stop drinking. Your life ~ Your perogative!!! But saying all this, leads me to the reason I am writing today...

DO NOT DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE!!!

Yesterday, there was a news report that broke my heart, but also enraged me. A 19-yr-old make the decision to drive while under the influence. He crashed into another vehicle sooooooo hard... at the scene a 15-yr-old and a 13-yr-old were pronounced dead. A 6-yr-old child was rushed to the hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries. A 35 yr old woman and a 10 yr old child were all taken to the hospital with "non-life threatening" conditions... same as the 40 yr old driver.

I hope the fkr faces murder charges, but we all know how our judicial system is systematically broken. He may get a slap on the wrist, and probably get 4 years, at the most. If he ends up in prison, let's just hope they put him in PC; even inmates don't like people who kill children...

It blows my mind that even today, with all the options of transportation that driving drunk/high is still a thing. (Maybe it hits me harder because I lost my Teddybear to a drunk driver), I cannot reiterate this enough...

Driving under the influence is literally making your vehicle a weapon. You are no better than someone who'd wake into a crowd and just fire a gun at random. Honestly, I don't only blame the driver, although ultimately it's their actions, and decision to do so. 

Just remember friends don't let friends drive home drunk!!! Please stay safe. Stay cool. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be LOVED!!!

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...
