Things That Bug Me & Things That Don't :O)

(THIS WAS WRITTEN WITH THE OTHER SITE IN MIND! :O)




1)
Once again some blogger mentioned 'gay lifestyle'--will someone tell me
what a 'gay lifestyle' is? How does it differ from a 'nongay
lifestyle'? Oh yes, also what is my gay agenda?

2)
It's sort of scary when I fill out a form on the Internet and they ask
you to click on the year you were born and they don't start at 1900
anymore!!!

3) Am I the only one going crazy
with abbreviations for everything? Does it seem to be getting worse? Do
you know all they stand for? It is ridiculous.

4) Washington University study  http://www.belljarnews.com/2012/10/13/study-free-birth-control-reduces-rate-of-abortion/

Massive
study of 9,000 women and the effects of making more widely available.
They made birth control available by giving it away free--one of the
findings was that it reduced the teen birth rate by more than 80% and
reduced the number of abortions by 62-78% And the church wants to stop
making birth control available?!?!?!

5)
I definitely must be old school--I find that women are a lot ruder and
cruder on blogs than most men to the point of being cringe
worthy---wonder what's behind that? Can't be 'freedom of speech' which many use.

6)
I was accused, and put down for, of being 'too sensitive'--in the world
today with so many insensitive people I took that as a compliment--in
the dictionary it is defined as " very keenly susceptible to
stimuli'--and that's wrong to be why?

7) People who
say "I have gay friends", "My nephew is gay", "My brother is gay" "I
have nothing against gay people" are the ones NOT helping gay people in
the voting booth. It's those who stand up to anti gay jokes, remarks,
laws who are helping the gay kids of tomorrow.

8)
I love it--one blogger called me too sensitive while another one says I
am the biggest self inflicted victim--and that's because I won't let
people put down Gays--and because I am proud of being Gay--WOW! Like
after 64 years as an out Gay activist I'm a victim on one blog site? And
I am too sensitive because I deleted a person's needless negative
comments in a salute to Matthew Shepard--and this won't surprise you--they are both Republicans!!  LOL

9)
Just to inform you--October is National Cookie and Dessert month (I'm
doing my share to celebrate) plus National Pasta month and November is
National Peanut Butter Lover's Month!!!

10) It is hard to
believe I have been blogging for 8 years at one site and soon will be 7
years at another site. At least my closet isn't getting filled with
anymore diary notebooks!

11) For those who asked regarding
my "7 Decades" series--there will be an X-rated version where I will get
into all the sex scenes but that might be the sequel or the published
book!

12) Something they don't
tell you about getting old--you get clumsy!! It is like all of a sudden
you are bumping into things, tripping over other things, carrying
band-aids with you, hitting doors, getting knife cuts--don't know if it
started at 60 or when I had congestive heart failure but folks watch
out!

13) And one more
time--yes I am gay and proud of it---I've had over 70 years of nongays
putting their sex life (babies, marriages, engagements, ads, TV, movies,
magazines, newspapers, fiction, non fiction, etc.) in my face wherever I
turned so if I go 'overboard' on being gay or going on about being gay,
very honestly, put up with it or ignore it but don't think of putting
me down--or any gay person down--and my not responding in different
ways? End of rant. LOL

Abbreviations like SIL confuse me, because they apparently can mean either Sister-in-law or Son-in-law. It's left up to the reader to figure out what the writer is talking about through analysis of the context.

I have given up on trying to figure the ones I can't right away

Re your #12... how true! I'm forever dropping stuff, and buttoning shirt cuffs is becoming a real challenge. LOL
