He's Still A Kid At Heart!

Well, leave it to my oldest son to get his mother laughing! He sent me this picture on Saturday when I have feeling kind of icky. Only Buddy could come up with Gilligan for Halloween and actually pull it off!

I used the following from ScrapGirls:

I've been stuck in a real rut lately but hopefully between my little lady's smile and going back on Effexor I'll be back to my crazy self again. I stopped taking the Effexor last year and should not have. I'm just going to have to get used to the idea that, yes, I really do need it. I had taken for 4 years and made the horrible mistake of stopping it without tapering off. Bad move! The withdrawl was NASTY! Oh well, back up to 6 prescriptions a day. I guess that's better than the 9 I took after my heart surgery.

The Nastier Side of the Scrapbook World

Well, I stumbled across a scrapbook forum and a blog about scrapbooking. Let me just say this, if I didn't know there were nice people in the world of scrapbooking I'd run so fast you wouldn't see my dust. I already participate in 2 different forums so I know there are nice peoople out there. I'm just glad I found those site first!
I'm not going to even name the sites because quite frankly I don't need the grief some would find neccesary to cause me. Those women don't know me and I don't want to know them. The first site there was all kinds of crap going on from name calling to putting others down, you name it, it was there (including things that can be considered illegal when it comes to credit card info). The other a blog site operates under the guise of free speech. I'm saying it this way simply because this person is using free speech as an excuse to say nasty things about the other site and whoever she doesn't like. Hey you don't like someone and you want to say nasty things go for it, it's your right. BUT, don't act like you're doing it because of a freedom granted to you because you happened to be born in the U.S.A. Just admit you're doing it because you are exactly the same as the people on the other site.
I have never in my life seen supposedly grown women act they way they are. At BOTH sites! Now don't misunderstand me I can understand why some woman are upset. Heck I would be on the phone with a district attorney over the CC info. Even though I didn't enter any magazine contests it would upset me to find out a winner had bent the rules (or broke, whatever). But to sit and write some of the nasty things I've read. Do you women really kiss your children with that mouth? I must say when I see someone use language like that it makes me wonder where they got their educations. I don't care if it was at an Ivy League school, I want to make sure not to let my granddaughter near there when she grows up!
The scariest part is some of these women are supposedly professionals in scrapbooking. They also think they seem to have celebrity status. Uhmmm I don't have a clue who you are and don't care. Do you know who has celebrity status in my eyes? (besides my family and friends) Our soliders, police, firefighterts, emts and all those who do things every day of their lives to help others!
Now with that said I'm going to keep my scrapbooking world small. I will stick with the forums I've already found and the blogs where people are nice. I'm sure I'm going to get comments on this even though no one really cares about my silly little blog where I get to rant and rave about my life's problems. But, from what I've seen there is going to be someone who is so bored and has no life who will just have to respond in the negative. Go right ahead, but be warned I will not tolerate obscenties on my sight. Just as you have the right to say what you want, I have the right to keep my blog clean.
