happy birthday ted.

a day at home for your birthday.

I keep hearing this crap & it's finally driven me to blog.

I was just reading this article about the mayor in Fort Lauderdale and how he's decided it's part of his job to ostracize 'the gays' because of all of the sex in public washrooms that they are having.

First of all, who cares who is having sex with who and how and what kind of parts they have and how they are using their parts. What does that have to do with anything? I do not discuss publicly, for example, what Mr. Naugle does with his parts, and I have no desire to. (Because it grosses me out.) Sound familiar?

Second of all, if you are going to target a group of people because you decide to stereotype them as promiscuous, go down to any club any night of the week and start there. We are humans. Some humans are more promiscuous than others.

It's pretty sad that all we have left is a very small potential to work together towards some sort of solution to all of the different kinds of problems that we are being confronted with, and so many people are wasting so much energy destroying all chances of that ever happening.

Any situation that exhibits unconditional love and acceptance and an environment of open communication and positive growth is something that everyone needs... where they find this, if they can, is their own business. If they can find it they are lucky and should treasure it... it is too bad that some ignorant people did not have this background, and apparently had the opposite of it, judging by the way they try to destroy what they are so afraid of.

It's just so exhausting. Like spinning in circles until you get sick.

a bunch of reasons not to blog

laking. the weather has been perfect and nothing less.






hanging out and being an aunty is awesome.
ps i don't advocate hot dogs.




sick dog. he looked like a gargoyle and i thought his eye was going to fall out... and this was after the kennel cough was through.








making the sick dog better.






while gus relaxed on the deck i had some time to get things done around the house.








made cupcakes for heidi.





went to heidi's birthday bbq. the penises aren't as much immature as they are a tradition.







made a giant batch of veggie chili.






packed it up all lunch-style. no more downtown dining for me - it's picnic time!




thinking about a tattoo. a gary oak, made from a photo i took. for my right shoulder... the roots will wrap around my arm in a band... hmmm.
