Daily we go about our business...

…and never ever give some things a second thought, but wouldn’t it be love-er-ly to know what others are really doing? Are we so encapsulated in our own lives that we forget that others may have more interesting ones than our own?
We all know that celebrities do and politicians do too or so it would seem with all the news making them seemingly to do it nightly, have excitement that is, get your mind out of the gutter, hmm?
But what about the billions of commoners not unlike us that we casually have contact with in the course of a day?
Of course none of us have connections with billions in a day, but that’s how many we are as a race, of humankind that is, close to seven billion I believe about now and all with their own stories or dare I say secrets.
As we all learn later in life is that some keep secrets very close to the vest or is that chest? I never can remember which one it is…
Perhaps, I have auditory problems when I heear it or it is either, any-who…
Explosions of revelations that are spoken out loud and revealed appear, at many times in adulthood!
I remember telling my own parents when I was around seventeen that I had had the flu when I was vomiting uncontrollably but in truth I had been very guilty of drinking too much alcohol under age at a house party, but Mom and Dad acted like they believed every word I unabashedly lied to them, bad me. I was young and not too smart and now I am old and not too smart, oh well…something’s never really change, huh?
I did confess after I was married and had two sons and they said that they knew all of the time… I suspect they felt I had learned my lesson; was I lucky or what?

Anyone who reads the headlines on our welcome windows on these techno marvels we spend way too much time staring at has tabloid access whether we really want it or not.
Have you ever noticed that all so-called possible stories are revealed with either film footage or interviews of close to the people’s family who have insider info; and these are employees or friends of a friends or underage children or neighbors or their first cousins once removed?
You get my point.
But until it makes the hard legit nightly national news I don’t believe a thing, do you? And sometimes I don't believe it then as we all know they too have retractions, hmm?
Sell a book by a famous person and reveal all their personal secrets by the celebrity’s daughter or son or both, hmm? Mommy Dearest comes to mind, now a sequel of the twenty-first century appears to be showing its ugly head with Martha Stewart’s daughter, Alexis, who Mom kindly says about her that she is her own person (how observant of dear ole mom, a forty-six year old child who’s her own person, huh?), and they seem to be best pals these days. So what’s all the hubbub about and why should we judge them, really?
Besides I thought that Cybill Shepard played the so-called real Martha years ago, and that was already known how things might have been… who cares … only they should, not us!

You see if they were just us ‘no ones’, meaning, ‘not famous peeps ’of course we all are someone to somebody, no one would know or even care.
My question to you is should we be more sensitive to everyone around us, I mean sincerely interested, not just paying lip service, and will someone tell me the origins of that expression?
Gosh, are we all too shallow to really care?
I sure hope not.
People are not disposable anymore than any other living thing on this planet could or should be… oops this is not how I wanted this to play out, not so funny, huh?

What my actual intention was to say it’s okay to screw up when you are a kid and know that others before and after you have probably done that secret of yours too and that you will survive it too if it should come out, that’s all.
Only thing is, is that we never ever forget those blunders in life and sometimes sharing is a good thing to do.
Hubby and I decided once our sons were born back in the 1970’s not to drink anymore and until 9/11/01 we did not.
And we have been since then.
Oddly enough our sons are smart/ responsible drinkers, never drinking and driving or doing any such bad thing both in their thirties and another thing that I have no idea why we got so fortunate but Hubby and I did both smoke cigarettes during the whole time they were in our custody of developmental loving care and neither smoke themselves. I have since, as many know, quit on 7/11/06. They said we showed them what a disgusting habit it was…!
On that something to think about allow me to be the first to say have a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count all your blessings and to share all your overages and we will too!

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

PS Oh, and another thing try to delve further into others lives without being accused of being too nosy and yep there is a fine line there, but it could be a great reward for you and them, who knows… sounds good, huh? Or they might just clam up and there goes another friend! LOL!

Disclaimer: these things I do nightly here are just suggestions or occasional ideas, but not too often.
Let’s face it, this is yammering of a lonely gal who enjoys talking in written form too! And in this medium she can see and archive it…for future peoples of like mindedness, TA DA!

Now go watch Andy Rooney’s goodbye on 60 Minutes!
Only another suggestion…

Which way will the war go?
