Wednesday's Digressions

More on this pic another time. It's great for many reasons but, the one I'm keying on is- not everything is at seems.


  • “It is so public. It’s one of the things we did not envision when we started our show,” Gosselin said.

  • That's Kate of Jon And Kate Plus 8 fame after tabloid reports circulated of her husband having sex with another woman while she was on a book signing tour.

  • She also said she was ,"Hesitant to believe he'd been unfaithful."

  • I laughed out loud when I read those lines and I don't know why.

  • I was speaking on the phone with someone recently and she mentioned the death of her daughters childhood friend. I was sitting at the computer so I googled her name and town- nothing. Nothing about her life or way too early death.

  • Seemed sad.

  • Watched an interview with the face transplant lady. I usually don't get too worked up over these human interest stories- I don't know- the kind of inspiration I need doesn't normally come from sources such as this? And anyway, what are they going to do? They will either die or survive in these kinds of horrific situations. If they die they are dead. And if they live and make an effort to thrive they are suddenly an inspiration because they wash their own back with a sponge tied to a stick or whatever?

  • I felt like an ass after watching her interview.

  • I said to someone the other day,"I don't trust." and was kind of surprised at the thought myself. I hadn't said it or even thought about it I don't guess before that conversation. When I thought about it though, I realised it's true- when someone says they have or will do something or feel or think a certain way I don't necesarrily believe it and act on it as if any of it may or may not be true.

  • Tell me you love me, will be faithful, have been faithful, I'm your best friend, the checks in the mail whatever- that's OK but, I will never even worry whether you're being truthful or not but, I will also not invest anything in your word I can't afford to lose.

  • People lie.

  • Oddly, to me often they lie when the truth would fit better- very hard for a person who nearly can't lie.

  • I gave my daughter money for the book fair at her school. She brought me back a book: Star Wars Clone Wars: Operation Huttlett. Maybe I need to quit being so cynical.

  • "Warning: Do not use in horses intended for food'

  • Warning label from wormer for sons show pig.

  • I don't understand peoples fascination with eating horses and I understand even less peoples histrionic reaction to other folks wanting to eat them.

Ive watched the kate bait show a few times, and always found it sorta fake and just entertainment, not real life at all, just a money making scheme.... but, what do I know...

You made me google meself, I to am a nobody in the world.....

sad about your maties daughters friend....never easy when people die young.... a few of my lads maties have died over the past 3 years through one or other different reasons, non of them have been easy to deal with...

trust for me is also hard..... I have many reasons as to why.... I did let me guard down a few years ago, and trusted in words.... but got taken for a ride and used and abused, it was my own fault I suppose for letting it happen....

Yet I know I make the most wonderful trustworth person, whether with love or friendships in whatever capacity.... I so WANT to believe that others are as trustworth as myself.... I dont say that to brag..... if I say I LOVE you then I truely purely do.... no ifs or maybes.... no, I'll only love you this month or this year, then I wont, unless you (figure of speech) hit me or hurt my children, then I would stop in an instant, cos love dont come with thumps etc.... I also never invest in words that dont have long meaning and staying power....

and yes, people lie, but not all people... and that I HAVE to believe in...

I have always told my children whilst growing up, and even now..... please dont lie to me, always tell me the truth or tell me nuffin, but dont lie, if you lie then my trust goes out the window, if you tell the truth, then I will fight your corner with every breath of my body, in whatever circumstances you find yourselves in..... if you lie, I can not help sort things out... tell me the truth no matter what and I will be there for you....always...

Sweet daughter.....

people eat horses? I thought they made glue out of them?

I would eat my mother-in-laws left leg if I need to survive.... even if she wasnt dead LOL

marmsi- yes, he has a show pig for agriculture class. a beautiful high quality animal. she likes it when i scratch her back

Oh, my....that post took me from Here, to There, and then to "Huh?" lol

1) Jon and Kate: "So public." I'm with you...um, "reality show?" I watched the premier last night out of sheer curiousity; she groused about the paparazzi watching every little moment of their lives using some flip phrase like, "Who cares?" Again, I had to think, reality show??

2) Lying and trust. Heard Glenn Beck say that he doesn't trust anyone anymore re: politics. I caught myself visibly shaking my head in the bathroom mirror while audibly exclaiming, "No sh*t!" That moment actually caused me to have a "stop down;" sad that so many of us can so readily identify to that phrase.

3) Horse meat doesn't appeal to me in the least. But then again, neither does dog, cat or COW once I see their long, trusting lashes out in the field. =( Like you, however, when I've thought about it in the past, I have wondered what makes horse meat so different from cow, goat, sheep and/chicken? Oh, would fish count here? ;)

Who knows.

Please say ya not gonna eat your sons pet pig after his classes....

I would loved to keep an Gloucester Old Spot pig as a pet, maybe in an orchard so it could eat the fallen apples....

We have a huge print on our kitchen wall above the old church pew and table we eat at, its of a pig, dont know if its to do with the connection of boys eating and pigs LOL

We have just on the edge of this village an organic pig farm....Windybanks Farm.... I love taking the nippers down to see the pigs and piglets.... I tried to pick up a baby once last year and I almost got eaten alive by mama LOL

How special that your children have a pig.... does it have a name, cos ya know if ya name an animal you cant eat it...

I'm not as big on trust as I used to be either, but, like Marmie, I try to be a trustworthy person,
even more so now that I know first hand how hard it is for one who trusts unwisely. I hate to think I'll be this jaded forever.
