just when you think you've seen it all, they have CARDS FOR YOUR ILLICIT LOVER with such sayings as

“All my life I have had this emptiness inside, like a part of me was missing and I was incomplete ...

“And now I can’t imagine my life without you ... Even if I have to share you.”


durrrrrrrrrrrrrr?

it's rather interesting that the creator of the cards states that by creating these cards she's not endorsing the lifestyle.

Gallagher says she doesn’t talk about the social implications: “I’m neither a crusader nor an advocate for this lifestyle. I’m a businesswoman.” As for her critics, she says, “People are entitled to their opinions.”


people are entitled to their opinions, this is true. but it's interesting to consider the implications of creating a specialized card line which is targeted at the indiscrete husband or wife in an effort to allow them to express their intentions to their beloved, or rather one of their beloveds.

it certainly comes down to the chicken & the egg argument. does the creation of such an object endorse extramarital affairs by providing a specified outlet for them to share their affections with their not-spouse rather than their spouse? i imagine most would argue it's simply business. but how does that fly when cigarette makers claim the same thing? even alcoholic beverage manufacturers fight a similar argument, although i believe most of america finds alcohol more acceptable than tobacco.

welcome to america. heh.

for the life of me, i'll never understand how stupid people maintain jobs or even how they get jobs on the first place. add lazy to the equation & there's a new breed of stupidity.

while i can admit to occasional fits of laziness, i tell myself (perhaps justifying it to myself?) that it's a reward for hard work & attentiveness to things that are main requirements. because i work 8+ hours a day putting up with ridiculous demands of people who assume ally mcbeal was the quintessential & accurate epitome of law. might i remind them that ally mcb-b also boasted a large part of fantasy & sarcastiwit. nothing tops the fish, but i digress. point being that at the end of a day full of dealing with idiots, i crave the opportunity to veg out on my sofa while pointing & laughing at the stupidity of people that live in that little TV screen. that's lazy but not in the stupidity section. yet.

in other news, my mommy has surgery tomorrow. i'm sure hysterectomies have come a long way from back in the day, but prayers for her safe travel through surgery (although, i'm pretty sure it's not a drive-through surgeon) are coveted. let's hope the surgeon's not an example of my aforementioned stupidheads.

i'm attempting to type this with a squirmy min-pin in my lap. she is entranced with the tiny cursor as it moves across the screen.

life has been on turbo lately, hence the lack of updates. my house continues to be in a perpetual state of renovations. i'm growing used to strange men being in my house at weird hours. don't tell my parents.

this past weekend eric & i headed up to see my oldest & dearest friend holly & her husband andy (not to mention her baby the pug, shazzbutt aka the butt). holly works as an international recruiter for a private woman's college in virginia, so she travels quite a bit. since her job also takes her to recruiting in NC we get together occasionally while she's here. of course the time is never enough. sometimes i wonder why we spend an exorbinant amount of time on work more than on relationships. regardless, i'm glad we still get together & it's always a good time even if we're supposed to go to a bbq & blues festival that consists of 25 people sitting in a parking lot with a horrible band playing & one tent selling barbecue. don't ask.

eric was amused that holly gave me lots of take home goodies like a hand blender they didn't want (& one like i've been looking at buying), two cans of rutabega (who knew they canned rutabega?) (who actually knows what to do with canned rutabega?), & a pair of lime green flip-flops that came with a kit for adding some weird floral thing to them. they came from her mother-in-law. no comment.

the time eric & i spent together was a good thing. there are never certainties with relationships. right now we realize we have some things to work through which will take time. it's just making a decision as to whether they are workable things.

right now, however, i have a scratchy throat & what i believe may be the beginning of a summer cold. blast! so rest is essential.

the sass left the building tonight but shall return in full force soonly. love to all.

THE RAINBOW AFTER THE STORM

the gorgeous rainbow seen after the storms at the river. rainbows are really miraculous things -- appearing out of thin air, materialized out of mist droplets & refractory light.

SARAH - SHA - ERIC
Originally uploaded by random sass & musing.

finally, some updates.

sarah, eric & i headed to deltaville to sarah's grandparents' river house back in july. we managed to pick a rainy weekend. but it was good quality time together & with sarah's grandparents & 'rents.

this is from our early morning fishing expedition. excuse my nasty sunburn. that's what one get when one (1) wears two different suits in the course of 24 hours thereby getting different tan (or burn) lines; (2) wears sunblock that is not sport sunblock & apparently washed off; & (3) forgets they are a seriously white girl & have no business unprotected in the sun. that was painful.

since gamie & pop bernie got rid of their boat last year, we ended up renting a partyboat for the fishing. nothing like a partyboat with three (post) twenty-somethings, two fifty-somethings & two seventy-somethings. also nothing like getting four hours of sleep & then heading out on a boat to fish! still, a good time & always a good bonding experience.

the day before our fishing i even touched a crab! there is pictoral evidence somewhere. of course he'd already been declawed & i held him at arm's length in front of me. but still, progress was made.
