ginger

(Sometimes it's hard to match pictures to blog posts about nothing.
And this one was the MOST relevant.
Hopefully by the end you're figured out why.)

Today I bring you another tale of the old folks home:
There was one little old lady with dementia who had a daughter named 'Ginger'.
And whenever she was confused or worried she would yell, "Ginger!!!!"
Everyone that had worked there for a while knew what was happening when she started yelling that.
But there was a new girl who didn't realize that 'Ginger' was this lady's daughter's name.
And since this little old lady didn't know who this new girl was she would yell,
"Ginger!!!!" every time this girl walked into the room.
The new girl finally told the nurse,
"I don't think that she likes me very much. She always yells, 'Ginger' when I walk into the room."
And the nurse just laughed.
And so did we.
Because what I didn't mention is that this new girl is a redhead.
And she thought the old lady must just REALLY dislike redheads.....

I had a teacher once in elementary school who would always tell us,
"Opinions are like armpits. Everybody has them, but some people's stink."
I would also like to add on,
"And they shouldn't be shoved in people's faces."
I was in a YouTube vortex and stumbled upon a girl who promotes a certain lifestyle.
Which is great!
BUT she does it by being a very naughty word that starts with a B....
Bully ;)
On her channel she shares videos that other people have worked hard on that promote a different lifestyle than hers; and she just tears them apart.
She doesn't even always necessarily disagree with everything that they are sharing.
But since their lifestyle isn't exactly the same as hers, she would still destroy everything that they were saying.
All of her videos consist of her ranting and raving about everybody else on YouTube.
Even if they are making healthy choices it is just not good enough for her.
And what is that accomplishing?
In what way is she influencing others by encouraging her followers to go watch people's videos and tell them that they are awful for living the lifestyle that they have chosen; just because it's different from theirs?
You may have your beliefs, but nobody has all of the facts.
So you can't tell someone how to live their life.
I, as a viewer, have the ability to not watch her videos.
But I, as a person, have the ability to stand up for my beliefs WHILE not degrading others just because their lifestyle is different than mine.

friday the 13th

It's Friday the 13th.
So I've gotta share some scary stories, obviously.
*These were all taken from 97.1 ZHT's website.*
**And they're all true**

Sometimes I hate babysitting my little nephew because he always points at the same corner in the room and says "Scary"....

I was babysitting a young girl and tucking her into bed when she asked if I was reading her a bedtime story or if the old lady at the end of the bed was.

My baby boys toy went off on its own. He looked over at it, pointed, and said hi then started laughing like he was playing with someone.

I was feeding my baby when 4 yr old son comes in to tell me that he can't hear his cartoons because the man on the floor won't stop talking to him.

My 5 yr old son told my mom he had to sleep with his back to his door so he didn't see the woman with the scary green eyes.

My 4 yr old told me, "The people in the floor want you...they said 'finders keepers'".

My 10 yr old niece going to bed told her dad she couldn't go to sleep because there was a man smiling at her-the type of smile where he liked to do bad stuff.

I was driving with my ex and his 4 yr old daughter. Out of nowhere she tells me, "you're going to die soon, don't be scared though..."


Spooked yet??
Now go watch a scary movie and not sleep at all tonight.
