It's an intense title. Bert came up with it. I was shooting for things such as "Going out on a limb" and "Blunt opinions". After an hour, I got up and found him in the kitchen and asked him his opinion. He sat there smiling at me as I rattled off my ideas that even I wasn't terribly impressed with and he quickly--I mean in 3 seconds, quickly--says, Adopted and Unholy. I immediately checked to see if he was pulling my chain, but he wasn't. "Wow." I replied. "Your serious?" Of course he was. "It's been an issue for you all of your life even if you didn't want it to be."
Now here is the blunt part. Adoption is a good answer to a very unfortunate set of circumstances being that two people had sex and the outcome far from what they bargained for between the sheets. Do not believe for one second that this doesn't coat one's life (that life being the adoptee)in all kinds of weird ways.
Now as to the Unholy portion....that, I am far from being but some think differently. I've been a spiritual person all my life. But the issues have stemmed from what one considers to be spiritual. To define myself, I would say that I am Buddist, with a heavy dose of Wiccan beliefs who believes in a God/Goddess and knows there is an afterlife. BUT, I am NOT a born again Christian....herein is where the issue lies....and you know what? It just dawned on me that being a Christian (born again-whatever the hell that is supposed to really mean...) is becoming a PC way of life. If you say you are one, you are cleared on so many levels. You can do all kinds of things and God will just forgive and forget. You want to show someone what you are in one word--"I'm a Christian!" and its all good! But that I will never stoop to. And for that, I am not forgiven by many.....really makes you go "hmmmmm...." doesn't it?
More later......:)

Screw being "PC"--Let's get real...

Not being PC does not mean you are a Bitch...
The term "bitch" and I have become synonymous throughout my life. I have accepted this and sweetly refer those who use this word in describing me, to what a bitch means-Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented, Cunning and one Hell of a woman. But we do know that in calling me that, that person feels that I have stepped outside the lines of 'ladylikeness'. (Would that be a word?!) I was not being polite or appropriate in what I was saying or doing. It implies that I am not being nice. That I am bad--Some today refer to the appropriate behavior that I lack as not being PC-politically correct. And I say, "Bullshit!" I am being nice!!! And I don't see the need to be PC morning, noon and night!
Does re-wording a sentence or a phrase make whatever, better? Does using the phrase "people who seek to hurt us" somehow better than the word "terrorist"??
Braving the dark truthes in life is often hard but very rewarding! I say it like I see it--no more, no less. If you think I am wrong-say so, but don't call me a bitch because it's not okie dokie with society to say such a thing. Give me a reason--don't sugar coat it!!
I will give you the clothes off my back. I will tell you the truth. If you need help with anything-I'm your girl. I don't go out of my way to hurt anyone--in fact my life revolves around helping others. And yet, I am still a bitch because I do speak my mind. If something is right--I say so and the same goes for something that is wrong. I can't hold my breath for long. So, if in some sort of bizzarre reality this makes me a bitch--Hail to the Queen!!

- This blog is about re-newed freedom....from so many things, like full-time parenting. But specifically from pain. Not mine, but my husbands. OVer the 12 years we've been married, we have had our trials and tribulations, but his illness has been one of our biggest hurdles. He was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 6 years ago and we have been fighting a battle of controlling the pain and fighting medical ignorance. This blog is about how we manage his pain and all that goes with it...for example--traveling. He can't fly, so that puts a damper on "seeing the world someday"...and he can't sit in a car for more than an hour since he can't move his legs...but I am rarely daunted by anything. We loved to camp and even did a bit of it close by so that we could travel that short distance....but the same place gets a bit boring. So, we thought of buying ourselves a Motor Home that I could drive and he could lay down, move around and be comfortable---and "see the world".....and we did.....Welcome to Treb and Ylloh's Escap from Reality....and pain.
