No Offense Intended


I just thought this was funny.




So, don't take this personally please. I am not commenting on anyone's beliefs.

Be well,
Webster

    That's one of the ones that always cracks me up.

    Another one is Jesus knocking at the door (I know you've seen the pic)
    "Let me in!"
    "Why?"
    "So I can save you!"
    "Save me from what?"
    "From all the things I'm going to do to you if you don't let me in!"

    LOL
    I hadn't heard that one before, but oddly enough for this recovering Catholic, it makes perfect sense.

    I enjoy reading your blog, and I do not take this personally, although I could. But I do have to point out that - yes, you certainly are commenting on someone's beliefs. When one posts something that is clearly mocking someone else and also posts, "no offense intended" that does not keep it from being offensive. Just saying. "No offense intended" is one of my pet peeves. You know it is offensive or you would not have included that qualification, so the truth is you don't care that it is offensive. If you want to post something that is both funny and offensive, then do so, but own it and all that it suggests. "This may offend you and I don't care." That is the real truth. If you are uncomfortable with that, well then, maybe reconsider posting it. The funny thing to me is that I am not offended by the post, but by the qualification LOL

    Thanks for your comment, Kate. How about if I said, "I's sorry if this makes you feel bad, but I think it is funny so I'm going to put it up anyway." Is that any better?

    Life can be a quandary. I know some people are very sensitive, especially about their religious and political beliefs. And I don't like to hurt people, but I do like to express my own views here. What is a better way to warn the sensitive reader that they may be offended? Because the fact is that I do care, even if I choose to post anyway.

no sooner had i written that last post than i came  down with a  fever and a raging case of cellulitis. needless to say i was admitted into the hospital the monday before thanksgiving and stayed until  the sunday  after. i did however order a turkey dinner on thursday, and they served a special dessert! since i came home, i haven't heard from my caregiver... so i called the office and spoke with her supervisor. it turns out that she was clocking  in and out all week! that's tantamount to fraud. don't know what'll happen to her. i have had two caregivers since. both i liked, but the first one lasted only one day, and the other hasn't had much experience. i'll give her a chance and we'll see what happens. good night, ttyl, and be well.

My MS Update 2017

Image
I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV.  I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22  with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19  to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta -  cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well,  36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...

my back yard pt. 2

well. there's a new addition to the pet cemetery. last  week we lost Rajah, brother to nishita and punima who died in 2o18. he's buried adjacent to them. when dh was digging the grave, he found  a large skull of a dog (not ours), so he had to put a little more space than we would have preferred between the cats. i  imagine in thirty years or so, whoever buys the house and digs up the yard will be quite surprised. good night, ttyl, and be well in this year of COVID-19
