The Shed 23

a reply to: Finspiracy

Thank you for the compliment. If I was to label myself I guess it would be pasted to the 'free and open' box. That's about all the labels and boxes I have.

My enjoyment is tears. Tears of laughter. Such is why I love nicely pranking anything and everyone including my animals.

If you are fair and honest to yourself it will reflect how you treat others and how they view you. Dishonest, nasty people will not want to have anything to do with you. Good people will.

This is why I like 'The Shed' even if I lurk. There's a wealth of good banter here. Shoulders to lean on and empathy when needed. Humor abounds but it's fine humor. I'm getting all metaphysical here aren't I. lol. Very hard to go off topic in The Shed. There's so many topics going on.

Prayers mate. Any time you need a chat. When I get on line I'll certainly tap the keys.

Kind regards,

Bally

Good Day/Evening/night everyone!

I don't care for labels either. I was going to expound on that, but I need coffee at the moment to fire up the brain.

I love labels. They tell me what I'm eating or drinking.

Do you want to drive on the risky lane and have an edible and a drink with no labels? If you approve you have to have them no matter what!

(Spoiler: to eat you would have a toasted white bread with cucumber and to drink you would have semi OK quality import beer, that is what i am having)

To level with you all, i am making a confession and i understand that it may severely damage my reputation but i need to get this out there and ask for guidance.

I need to get rid of using a certain word. I hate myself for using it but it comes out, well, quite naturally. It is the N word. You see, when i was a kid, we had a candy called N kisses. A chocolate with a cookie bottom and filled with whipped cream. Loved them. They are Brunberg's kisses now. We also had N licorice. It was OK too. When i was a kid and a young teen, N was a black person. Nothing less, nothing more. But now that word is really frowned upon and i need to get rid of it, because i don't want to disrespect anyone.

What is skin color anyway? a short strain of DNA defines it. There are adorable persons and disgraceful persons in every race.

How can i deprogram myself away from using a word that may hurt someone?

Love the Seether song!

Every time you find yourself about to use the word, say to yourself, WAIT, STOP THNK! Then think of a replacement word. Out of habit you will hopefully keep focusing on the new word that isn't offensive and it will stick.

We could play can roulette. Take the labels off all the cans. Put them in a box and shuffle them around. Now pick one. It could be fruit. It could be soup. It could be beans. It could be canned vegetables. It could make cooking interesting.

Okay i promise to try that. It would be a different thing if i was being offensive on purpose, but i really am not, and i don't want to sound like a total jerk.

Coffee time. Am i making some just for myself, or to you too? Pixies can carry it, riding on a dragon, and add some magic to it also.

Uh? Oh?

Seems like my dinner is macaroni with sugar and ice cubes now!

Live dangerously. Who knows, gravy and fruit cocktail might be good.

lol Fin, that's a great story.

Pretty well why live in the sticks. Can't offend anyone out here but I do get offended if anyone calls me the "R" word.

Kind regards,

Bally

That would be awesome. Sometimes i dream about it. A small shack in the middle of nowhere. I would make myself the king of my surroundings. But i think i would lose the tiny bit of sanity i have left, quite fast!

Hello Night Star,

Fin always beats me to the coffee. May I offer you a celery stick?

Kind Regards,

I gained my sanity back living where I am. There's always something to do to keep me alert. Sometimes I get up to mischief. Got different things to do each day.

Kind regards,
