There's something to be said for Kitchen Table Wisdom - you know, like in the old days when people sat around the kitchen table after a meal and talked about life, the universe and the meaning of it all - as well as the gossip doing the rounds in town...

Well, that's what this place is - a place to share common wisdom, thoughts and feelings about things important and unimportant, that bring us joy, laughter and happiness and that trouble, sadden, confuse and anger us ...

What I write here is what's 'real' for me. It won't always be PC or 'nice'. We're missing out on true connection and chances to grow and change because there's too little authenticity, too little honesty, too much holding back what we really feel and mean.

Welcome to my world...

I used to have a copyright claim here, but I've removed it...

Ideas don't belong to anyone -

they come to those who are receptive and are to be used for the well being of all...

I find images and movies and music all over the web

and I use them to accent/expand on my thoughts and understandings...


If you feel you have experienced or received something of value in reading my posts,

please consider either:

material and emotional/spiritual sustenance in this world...


Thank You

Pet Peeves: In No Particular Order & Not An Exhaustive List


1:   Women who complain that their man and father of their children has to pay child support for the children he had with another woman...

Why shouldn't he have to pay?

How come these women don't stop to think how they would feel if they were left with the children to raise and no support from the father?

 
2:   Humans, mostly from the western hemisphere, who treat their pets like children and spend enormous amounts of money on them, when there are children in the same city, same country and all over the world starving, ill, abused, homeless, sick...



 
3:    People who still, in this day and age, throw rubbish out of their car windows...   What planet have they been living on that they haven't heard the same "don't litter" message the rest of us have been hearing for the past 30-40 years?

















4:    People who don't clean the bath out after they've used it, so the next person is confronted with soap scum and hair from various body parts... oh, and disgusting public toilets...yuck!



5:   Cigarette smoke on skin, hair, clothes, breath... and the smell of beer on a person's breath, especially if you combine those odours and that person is also wearing Old Spice aftershave!... I can't be in the same space with them for more than a few moments...



6:  People who use weasel words in both their personal and professional lives.   I'm a wordsmith - a journalist, researcher, public relations and marketing consultant, social activist - I can see/hear/smell/sense them a mile off... If you want me to take you seriously and treat you and your views with respect, don't try weasally, manipulative, power-play words with me!




To Be Continued... maybe.....
