Musings

I wish stupidity hurt the stupid people instead of the rest of us, lol. I'm boycotting black Friday, I won't be shopping anywhere on Thanksgiving and I find the greed and narcissism of the general public around this time of year sickening. Rant over.

Mammogram

Even though it's well into November, I wanted to share this. I've been having mammograms for two years and an ultrasound on my left breast every 6 months. I was finally cleared with this last ultrasound. The spot they were watching hasn't changed in two years so it's not cancer. Here's a pic of my boobs.

No joke. Get it done.

The state of the world

I know I haven't said anything about the horrible events in Paris. There's a reason for that. Horrible things happen every day. They just don't usually happen in Paris. Or New York City. We ignore atrocities unless they take place in "civilized" places. And No, I'm not going all Islamaphobic. I've known some very nice Muslims. I think almost every religion has radicals. Every religion has radicals and extremists that can be dangerous. Except maybe Buddhists. We have seen it in different forms but it's been around for a long time. The Crusades. Jim Jones and his kool-aid party. Heaven's Gate. People have done crazy things down through the centuries in the name of religion. And there's always somebody who believes, or has convinced himself, that HE and he alone speaks for god. The scary part is when other people become convinced that that guy DOES speak for god. I've always felt those guys who claim divine revelation are the best con men in the world. They can convince people to give up all their money, even give up their lives because "god" wants them to. Unfortunately people are human. And too many humans let the urge to be king of the hill overwhelm them. They want it all. They want control. They want YOU to believe what they say and to think what they want you to think. Think for yourself. Don't believe everything you read or are told. Question everything. Don't be a sheep.
