I told mom those two must be married to each other. Mom swears he is wonderful. I swear he is a jerk. I told mom she would think a dog that bit her was wonderful if the dog brought her a toy afterwards.
He might call, one day.

My sinus infection rages along. Sniff, sniff, cough, cough. I am on my second round of antibiotics. A nice steroid nasal spray has been added to the mix.
Despite the rocky start to the New Year, I told Andrew I had high hopes for a great year!

Pinterest - I'd love to read a sociological viewpoint on why people pin the things they do and why they react the way they do. It seems to be replacing FB, thankfully.
I like most things people pin, save pins about weddings, wedding rings, wedding cakes, wedding dresses, wedding venues, wedding shoes ~ ad nauseam, they all look the same!
Sometimes you'll see a blurb that let's you know the person is not engaged, but dreaming of her future wedding.
I never see a man with a Pinboard about his future wedding. Get a clue, women. Harsh, but true.
Too much, too much. Who cares if it is a two-band ring or a three-band ring if you want a ring before you meet Mr. Not So Right.
AND by the way does anyone marry in Sage Green? Or shocking Ruby Red? If so, nobody's pinning those dresses or pants. Yes! Pants! Imagine the shock!
Most people pin stuff they want for their homes, art they like, meaningful quotes, a mystery to all, really - context is everything when it comes to content. Food to try, (yes I've tried them and yumm...!) and ideas for the yard. I confess - I have a secret love for looking at tattoo pinboards. Joining a community tattoo pinboard would lead many astray about me but that is okay.
A collective look at my pinboards might give one the impression I am a dark, sick, controversial person who hates weddings. With boards such as Grief, living with grief, Multiple Sclerosis, Controversy, The Anti-Wedding Board and well - sometimes a follower will follow, read pins and unfollow. Or join my pinboard fray much to my shock. And I'll return the favor and join her beautiful pinboards about cute puppies, Kitchen Aid gadgets, gardening and feel we could be best friends in real life without saying a word.
I try hard not to offend but I think I will try less. Real is more.

So...I really don't get it, Pinterest that is. I joined at a friend's request, but I have no interest in it at all. I have no desire to surf the net and collect pictures of stuff, or look at other people's pictures of stuff. Makes no sense to me.
I hope you and your mom are feeling better soon.
I can only handle so much. Feel guilty I do not read all the blogs. Your dark side reality based viewpoint comforting to me ;=)Great post.m
I don't play Pinterest - the internet takes way too much of my time and energy already.
Just the same, anyone who cannot cope with your darker moods, is probably not someone you will miss.
PS: I am sorry, I meant to ask about your mother first and foremost and MS brain sidetracked me. I hope she continues to improve. And doctors, and particularly specialists, frequently bring my not very well buried bad-tempered self to the surface.
"Real is more."
Yes. And real is better.
blessings....
Happy New year...
I hope this year is a splendid one for you, wroth with good health and loving companions.
Pin interest, hear of, haven't got on the bandwagon yet. I already have so much social media crap to keep track of, i am just not ready to take the plunge, perhaps later on.
Count me as not getting Pinterest. Maybe someone will enlighten me?
