Not “Happy Father’s Day”

Leave a Comment

So many messages posted on Facebook today, “Happy Father’s Day-to-all-the-dads-out-there” etc etc. What I didn’t see were any messages that were NOT “Happy Father’s Day” etc etc. I’m thinking it’s probably because most folks keep that sort of stuff to themselves, in the family, nothing to broadcast about. Although, I certainly know enough people on FB that post about EVerything!

Anyway, without really getting into anything myself, I have to post this little eCard simply because I think it’s hilarious!! and apropos!  :)

House 50 years later

Hi guys. I guess if I’m “back” that means I have to actually write something in here, yes?

I’ve been cleaning up, weeding out, things around our house. We’ve been here 30+ years and as you can imagine, or have the same thing goin’ on by you, it’s a daunting task! I’m currently going through old pics… tons and tons of photos, starting with what my Mom had. I think that has been the most difficult, ya know? What meant a lot to her, and that she saved, doesn’t mean the same to me, soooo, had to throw away. Sad.  :(

Besides all of that, I came across a site that had my OLD childhood home photos on it – Zillow, Trulia – you know the sites. UNbelievable! It was a really weird feeling looking at the inside – at LEAST 50 years later!! oh my Lordy. What was the most fun though, was that a photo that was taken of my Mom & Gramma, with me in my Mom’s tummy, in 1954. The kitchen was new, house was built in 1953, and the recent pics I found are around 2010 – 2014? Hard to tell because there are no dates given.

Here are the photos I’m talking about…

New kitchen in 1954

newer version kitchen

200?

The 2 empty pics are the “current” photos… So weird.

Okee doke, that’s all I got today kids. c’ya later,

Kitty is back!Hi, and welcome to the resurrected KittyKitty blog! It’s been awhile since I was here last – 2 years ago, and that was just one paragraph. Prior to that, it was the 2012 Presidential Election. Imagine that!! My lack of interest in blogging coincided with my use of Facebook. Surprise surprise. Now I believe I’m coming full-circle. Back to my *roots* so to speak. Started blogging 16 yrs ago and it was a big part of my daily routine. And it was fun. Unlike FB which is becoming a political pit to me. Yes, I know, don’t like it? Move on. Well, when it’s not as much fun any longer, why bother?

So that’s the scoop. If you’ve never been here before, why don’t you begin from the beginning. Who or what is a KittyKitty? Check it out! And keep visiting, I’ll be here, k? xoxo

Update & update

Hi all, and welcome to 2014 , at least for one more month. Can’t believe my last post was 2012? I stop in here periodically to update everything, but this time the updates messed up my sidebar on some of the category posts. Can’t figure it out, and is it really something that I want to spend a lot of time with? Not really. Not if I’m not doing anything in here. Oh well, maybe some day I’ll change themes or something. I designed this site with what was my very fav theme, but they upgraded to a new everything and they lost me.

So there ya go.

Again, I’ll you over on Facebook.
:)
xoxo

Politics, Peace, and Love, oh my!

Since I’m on Facebook & Twitter these days and there’s this thing called the “Presidential Election” only a couple of weeks away, I felt the need to pop in here and talk. Mainly because I need a little longer space for it (that’s when I miss blogging).

As a rule, I don’t offer my political or religious opinions/beliefs in either of those platforms. I am not a debater or fond of arguing my points of view with people that I just know casually… actually, not with too many folks, and not even with family that have their own very strong opinions. And I don’t plan on really getting into those opinions now. What I don’t understand, is why people – reasonable human beings – cannot honestly entertain another person’s opinion even if completely opposite their own.

Are they really blind to other points about any subject that they’re in disagreement with? Of course I’m not talking about heinous crimes (although that may be up for discussion, somewhere), but primarily politics (I think it’s difficult, and wrong, to argue with someone else’s core, moral, religious beliefs).

Maybe I’m too “Pollyanna-ish” and always try to see something good in everything/everyone. I was a Hippie as a teenager, and would actually still be barefoot with a flower in my hair if I could… well, maybe not. But my point is that I still live by the “Peace n’ Love” creed… not so much the protester, although I was maced at a rally once & believed in the Chicago 7/8. Sadly Abbey Hoffman committed suicide and Jerry Rubin was hit by a car & died, both when in their 50s. I regress.

My husband & mother are NOT like that, whatsoever. Not to mention the two of them have totally opposite opinions – they are both right, so they claim, and canNOT have any reasonable discussions together so we definitely stay away from those topics!! Black & white, no middle ground. I am grey. I understand why someone might believe their way is the only way, because of course they read it from very authoritative sources. Ya, their own party resources.

I feel shy and sometimes I feel “bad” when I make a comment on someone’s FB page that doesn’t agree with their post. I don’t want to argue, so I usually don’t. No conflicts. But that’s a different issue I guess. Yes, I just want “all of us to get along.” And I can see this post could wander all over the place, in typical Kitty-talk I guess.  I just wanted to make a statement that I DO see your point. I don’t necessarily agree with you, but I’m not going to insult you and think you’re a bad person. Oh sure, I may feel very strongly against your opinion, but that’s where I will keep it to myself… and probably wonder how you can even feel that way. But I will not compartmentalize your opinion and say “all of you” are that way.

Did I tell you that my license plate was “Peacnluv” before it was Ink2Art? Yup, it was. Soooo, bottom line, I just want to be happy online. No arguing. No politics. I really don’t want to know your political beliefs. Truthfully, much to my own surprise, it affects a little bit of my opinion of you… whether you agree or disagree with me. :)

As always, peace & love, xoxo ~Kitty
