Validation
I don't believe I am a particularly "troll-like" poster. It baffles me when people delete every comment that the don't believe fits in their neat little narrative. I also am not a huge fan of the posts "why me.. why is everyone so mean to me" However, when you repeatedly see all your posts go poof because someone doesn't like your logic. It's irritating.
I don't always agree with everyone and don't expect everyone to agree with me.

OT Service Animals
I know we touched on this issue on another blog.. but I actually didn't realize how pervasive the issue is with people trying to make their pets into service animals to avoid certain rules.
I am on a facebook group and someone posted that they were looking for a house to rent and that it needed to be pet friendly.
Someone literally posted this in a response.

Professional Beggars
I know you were thinking I was going to be venting about BM's...lol NOPE.
I was just scrolling my FB feed and see my OSD's SIL had posted about a fundraiser that she is supporting for her son's DAYCARE!
They have a catalog of useless crap that you can buy and a portion of the proceeds will go to support activities for little Bo and the daycare.
Yes, Daycare! The place where people pay other people to watch their children while they work and whatnot. Not a school subject to cut funding from the govt.. this is a private daycare. WTF.. professional beggars!

When you absolutely positively have to have a man. No matter what.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/michigan-man-pleads-guilty-killing-172629931....
So, kills first wife with unborn baby. Serves less than 20 years and gets out and marries again. Proceeds to kill two new kids he created plus attempted to kill new wife and did kill her kids. In front of her.
How bad do you want a man to marry and have kids with one that murdered his first wife and baby?
Sibling Rivalry.. UGH.
So, almost got into it with OSD this weekend. Well, full disclosure, did a little bit.
She had dropped her 3 mo old baby off on Saturday so she could go to a craft show where she was selling some products (like scentsy candle or pampered chef type products.. you know get people to have parties to guilt their friends into buying crap).
The baby was going to stay with MIL over night and she was coming back to get him the next day.

Skids are not all blind to their BM's faults
So, I saw an odd post on my YSD's facebook page. It was their mother sharing an article about how "mothers who nag have successful kids". She said, that she hoped that her sister would see it too.
My mind was confused. Why not just share it on her sister's page too? Welll.. I went to OSD's page (I am on her friend list) and guess who is NOT a friend and is apparently blocked??? BM!!!
She just was tired of her mom's MOTY passive aggressive posts I guess.

OT - Offensive advertising
So, there I was minding my own business and flipping through my new copy of Glamour magazine. Now, I KNOW that a lot of the models are really young and all. I know the photo shopping and the bad body image stuff too. I mean, I can take a LOT of stuff with a grain of salt... BUT, I turned the page and there is an ad for Viva Glam MAC cosmetics with Ariana Grande. The former disney starlet who is diminutive with the big voice. She tries to project a pretty adult image and all, but her ad was over the top offensive to me.

Creating a life with more JOY.
I read an article about how you can actively become happier by managing your life. The article suggested a few things that could be stealing the joy from your life and how to work towards living a more pleasant existence.
1. Magazines and Catalogues. I mean did you eve KNOW that they made cool rainboots like that? NO? If looking at lots of things you can't afford depresses you. Don't do it. Put away those magazines. Stop watching the Kardashians etc.. If you didn't even know that stuff existed, how can you be unhappy you can't have it?
