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.

More Snow!

That's my big news for y'all. We had a lovely smattering of snowfall, and it was lovely indeed, mostly because I wasn't going out in it, and because it wasn't sticking to the streets around here. So I just sat here in my swivel glider and watched the birds at the feeder outside the window, and we didn't just have sparrows and chickadees today, we had a lovely pair of Steller's Jays that seemed grateful for the free food. We can't use our kitchen sink, and DH is taking his sweet time fixing it. It got clogged Saturday, not with coffee grounds, but with a sludge of oils from the coffee grounds we've washed down the drain for the last 18 years. First he plunged it; then he took the pipe apart to check out the clog; then he went to L0we's to buy a drain auger (a snake) yesterday; this evening he finally starts working on it and discovers that the hot water hose is leaking, so he just got back from L0we's with a replacement and is mumbling in the kitc...

Today is Day One

Tomorrow I have a cath. change at 11:45, followed by my first Solumedrol infusion at this new clinic, which I believe is in the same building at 1:40. I have a friend who is spending a few days with me who will go with me just so she has something to do. I'm sure it will make it go faster. So that's what's up with me, and now I am actually going to go to bed at 1:15 AM. I mean, I'll start to get ready as soon as I sign off here, but I should be in bed and, hopefully, asleep, by 2 AM. Good Night and all that.

Maybe it's Just One of Those Days

I am feeling rather depressed today. My PT, Shannon, pointed out some truths to me about my "lack of compliance" with my exercise routine. She sees right through me. She's good. And she isn't even a specialist with MS! Still, she certainly hit on my buttons, in a very kindly way, as we discussed the ebbs and flows that is MS. Why am I not doing my home exercises? I don't know. Because I don't believe that they will keep me from getting worse, I guess. In my heart of hearts I feel it is inevitable - getting worse. I have seen it - too much of it - it will happen to me, too. And I guess I feel that there's not anything I can do that will change that. So, I don't bother. I started out with high hopes, and I was getting stronger. . . THEN, I got that damned sinus infection which pretty much put me back where I was. I guess I'm feeling, "What's the point?" Of course, I know that  if I continue the way I have been - not doing much of ...
