"Let me be that I am and seek not to alter me."    -Shakespeare; Much Ado About Nothing

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, screaming "Whoo! What a ride!"

DISCLAIMER: All opinions expressed within are MINE and mine alone.  You don't have to agree with me to be my friend.  That's not how friendship works.  Real quick, here, people...  My life philosophy is simple.  "Whatever floats your boat."  As long as what you're doing doesn't hurt anyone, I'm pretty much okay with it.  You breastfeed?  I'm cool with that.  You formula feed.  Cool too.  Circumsized or not?  Do not care, it's your kid and your choice.  Born Again Christian or Atheist?  Could NOT care less - as long as you don't try to shove your beliefs down my throat (same goes for politics).  I promise not to shove mine down yours.  Gay or straight - do. not. care.  Divorced, married, sticking it out for your kids?  Whoo hoo, more power to you.  Oooo, ooo, ooo! Here's a big one.... stay at home mom or working mom?  Won't hold either against you.  We all do what we have to.  However, should one of your parenting choices result in physcial, verbal, or emtional harm to me, my kids, your kids, you, or anyone else - DAMN SKIPPY, I'm going to call you out on it.

Here's the thing.  I graduated highschool a looooong time ago.  I do not care for drama - even if it has a habit of finding me sometimes.  We are all GROWN UPS!  Act like it.  You don't like my thoughts or opinions, I can handle it.  Show me your take on whatever it is I'm pontificating on and leave it at that.  There is no need for name calling, bashing, or bullying.  That crap belongs in a school yard.  I wish everyone could just grasp the simple concept of "agreeing to disagree" - it would make life so much easier.  Besides, who knows who's really right....
