Pardon Me? Why So Rude???

Page 41 of 365.

Good Afternoon Lovies. How goes it? I am in a mood today, but it's not why you'd think. People really make me angry at times; even when it has nothing to do with me. 

I will explain why it hurts so much to hear this, when I am done saying what I have to say about it currently...

Someone posted a picture of a celebrity, one picture of when she was young, single, skinny and a current picture of her, chunkier, older (by 20 years)... the comments people were making were disgusting!!! 

I don't know this person from Lilith; but I felt I needed to say something because this is a common occurrence in every day lide, and it is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

I don't know what it is about people, in general, who feel they have the right to comment about the way people look. It's always, they are too skinny. They are too fat. They are lazy. They are too pale. They are this... they are that. 

How about you just STFU!! 

Have you ever thought that the person you are calling too skinny, is suffering from an eating disorder? 

Or the person you are calling too fat, is suffering from health issues, and it has nothing to do with anything they eat, or lack of exercise? 

Or the person you call "too pale", how do you know if they are able, or not, to sit in the sun? Maybe they have a genetic disorder that causes that??? The truth is, none of you know their stories... 

... and the fact is, it is NONE of your business neither!!! 

The reason this bothers me so much is because I had experienced this myself; from childhood and even now. I was skinny wben I was younger, not skin and bones, but  I was on the smaller side, and what people would consider the "perfect" body; BUT it was never good enough. 

My own mother would constantly tell me I was "fat"... I was never more than 120 lbs, and I am 5 foot 2 inches. That stayed constantly in my head, and I am here to remind people that the tongue is far mightier than the sword. My mother never knew, but those words, those insults were so painful, it caused bulimia (not me, but I am not telling other people's stories). It seemed like that was the theme of parents and guardians of that era.

When I got to my 20s, I got sick and I ended up gaining 80 lbs in 3 weeks. I was devastated. Now, I wasn't just subjected to scrutiny from my own mother, I was getting it from all sides... in-laws, and other family members. The worst part is, it had NOTHING to do with what I ate, or anything I did... It was all from the medication I was put on due to my medical disorders/conditions.

I am now in my 50s, and I still hear people consistently make fun of others who are over weight, or too skinny. I am appalled at some of the comments I hear and read. I had hoped that these days, society wouldn't be so superficial. It disturbs me how they even think they have the RIGHT to make people feel bad for their looks. I am on the chunky side, and I do NOT care anymore what people say about my looks. I have come to the stage in my life that if you do not like the way I look than don't look at me. What do I always say???

YOUR OPINION OF ME, IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS!!!

I really hope those who are subjected to such ignorance will find peace within and NEVER tolerate the disrespect of others. You are beautiful; and nothing others say, should nor could change that.

Stay safe. Stay warm. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be LOVED!!!

I Just Don't Get It

Page 344 of 365. Good Afternoon my dear Lovies. I come today with a story that really affected me. I am going to post the link here, so you can all see what is pulling at my heart strings, both with mad respect, gratefulness and outrage... all wrapped into one. Link :   KING OF THE DAY Now that you have seen the video, what are your thoughts??? I am not one that has the right to throw stones, as I am and never was a great mom. I am not going to make excuses for my actions and take full responsibility for them. I did the best I could, at the time I did them. One thing, my kids can never say, is their mom doesn't love them!!! Before I express what I truly think... I almost feel like there is context missing from this.  I give this man a lot of respect and praise. He saw something was amiss, and instead of ignoring it, he did the right thing to do... The sad part about the whole situation is he DID record it. I mean, it was a good thing to have, it's just maddening that some...

I Will Never

Page 346 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. We have finished another work week, and we are quickly approaching the end of 2025. This year has been rough for a lot of people. Honestly, here in Canada it has really been the last 5 years. Watching people suffer, break and even die by the boat loads over these 5 years has been heartbreaking. The worst part about it is none of them died from this supposed COVID. Don't get me wrong, I fully acknowledge that COVID was a serious, serious FLU; but it was NOT what the media and governments claimed it to be. COVID caused hell in ways that has nothing to do with medical! Families crumbled ~ over finances, opposing decisions about the jab, losing jobs, being confined together 24/7. Lack of resources, the mental toll. People who have taken the jab (several of them, even), are dying of rapidly deteriorating illnesses that could only be caused by the vaccination the government forced on people. Unbelievable side effects and devastating diagnosis becau...

Say What Now???

I know... I am contradicting the picture, but who would I be, if I kept my mouth shut on such a sensitive subject???  I have never been one to shy away from voicing my opinion, and I sure as hell am not going to stop now... I was just scrolling through social media when I landed on an article that  BLEW MY MIND!!! I cannot find the link right now; if I do find it, I will add it to this blurb at a later time... basically, if you are Canadian, more specifically from Ontario, generally in Toronto, Ontario or the GTA (Greater Toronto Area)... this is something you should all be reading up on. HERE IS THE LINK: Black Mandated Shelters!!! (Read article here) There is an organization called B3... well city council has passed it, and now they are creating BLACK MANDATED HOMELESS SHELTERS, where everyone from the staff to the residents are Black or of African descent... People are sending in applications, and according to the government, they do not have to have any experience to run a...
