Oddities in life

An oddity in any shape or form is a peculiarity, a funny habit, quirk, foible, idiosyncrasy, strangeness, oddball, nonconformist, eccentric, crank, unusual person, curiosity, odd thing, rarity, and last but not least a phenomenon.
Geez, I could be called one! LOL!

Not all that goes on in this world is the usual run of the mill, and what does that really mean anyway, “Who’s running the Mill?”

Any-who, taking things literarily is also rather an oddity but any child under three may very well do it, I’ll never forget when one of our sons, and I won’t say which one since I wouldn’t want to embarrass their adults selves, but I told him to put the peanut butter on the bread and he looked at me oddly and then took the jar of peanut butter and put it on the piece of bread! In reality that is exactly what I said though, true?
But when an adult does it we know there has got to be something wrong with them, but really?
Day in and day out we are telling each other what to do, not in a mean way or with disrespect but with a need to accomplish this or that, correct?
Honey can you get me this or we really should go out and take care of this, and that is what I meant.
And yes, Hubby makes suggestions too of what he needs or wants to get done too.

Have you ever found that your hands were tied, but not literarily figuratively in the sense in wanting to know something but not being allowed access to that information?
Let me make my point… two employees of a media firm have recently been let go and we the public who utilize their airwaves for our enjoyment have not been given any answers.
Yes, if you read my entitled, ‘Dilemmas’ blog from a few days ago you will know that the colleague of the most recent person was told to leave at a moments notice, and I do believe that was literal! And now another fellow has also left the same station of that visual medium, all I want to know is what is going on?
We became followers of these on camera folks and miss them dearly and don’t understand why they are now gone? They appeared to be very good at what they did, one a news anchor and the other a weather man, hmm.
Hubby and I kidded that they were keeping the women due to the fact that, that they still don’t make as much as the men! But that is NO joke and never was, it’s a little better but still not where it should be the same pay for the same work, which is only fair! Could this be a down sizing in the making? Or the fact that the call letters network, big guys, which I imagine has a controlling interest in this backwater small town has merged with a highly conservative company? And these guys were too middle of the road for them? I thought news was supposed to be unbiased, how odd? But then there is the FOX network News.
Me thinks this could be on track since the MAJOR COMPANY has not stated why this is going on other than it is none of the business of us mere public watchers and listeners.
I have a good mind to switch channels!
To me this appears to be one of those oddities in life that we seem to have little control over, sort of like when your favorite show is cancelled. But those people are actors who get paid mucho dinero and can move on, one can only hope, is it that easy in the news biz? I doubt it.
Especially if they are under contract and told they cannot work for anyone else for over a year! Do they get Golden Parachutes? I don’t think so…
I reiterate its downright CRAZY!
What’s happening in this world when a well respected NEWS STATION doesn’t feel that THEIR PUBLIC should be informed, when they allow us to get emotionally involved with their cast of characters and welcome them daily into our homes like family members!
I submit this is so unfair, we should be better informed since it is NEWS!
And I do think the very least they can do is give some type of answer to us… or we may all just switch to another channel where they treat their employees so much nicer and keep them so much longer!

On that note of frustration and also a need to know but know not how to get, this is so weird, I always say where there’s a will there is a way! Moving on…

Let me be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to all please count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS A light bulb just went off, not literarily but you know what I mean; I got it; they are OUTSOURCING THE NEWS AND WEATHER! It’s got to be, it's the only explanation that fits…see I still can think, or not… LOL!
