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.
