I am always collecting pictures off the web, I guess you could call it a hobby I have hundreds maybe thousands of them that fall into many different categories, most of the time I can remember where I found a particular one but sometimes I find one that I don't remember. That is the case with this one and thats why I am posting it so more people can benefit from it.
Roses to Me - The Onyx Rose Diaries
I have a love affair with roses, Tea roses specifically. My favorite color rose is, well all of them but especially most of all the purple ones. The darker deeper the purple the better, the ones known as black roses. This blog is about me, about things that matter to me. The things that make me happy, sad, angry etcetera. I hope in my own small way to have an impact on making the world a better place.

Stupid Asinine Idiocy
LOOK OUT......RANT forthcoming.....and this one's a bender!!!
Ok so check this out. I went to the library today to use one of their laptops because my drop box and drive accounts are a mess and have been driving me crazy so I wanted to see if I could organize them some by going through my photography and weeding out the lesser pictures because I take them in series' as well as by going through and deleting multiples of pictures that I have collected elsewhere, so anyway on with my story.
I'm sitting there minding my own business a and fighting with Dropbox and couldn't figure out how to see the pictures large....er...than a thumbnail and I muttered under my breath "oh my gosh....really". Now seriously for friends and family and others that know me in the real world, letting loose with a string of expletives that could make a grizzled old pirate run away crying is really no big thing for me at times.... sad but true, which actually makes my story just that much more ironic really.
So next thing I know, this woman that had been sitting at the next table next to mine is knelt down at my table looking at me and proceeds to tell me that "gosh" is actually an alteration of 'God' and that she wouldn't say it if she were me.....or some drivel. At that point I just let my face fall in my hands. I think I might have said something about maybe she should mind her own business first but sitting there with my face in my hands going....WTH....and then I sat up straight in my chair and looked around and thought....NO!!!!! In a voice loud enough for her to hear but not disturb anyone else nearby I started talking about how sad it is that with all the problems in the world today that people have nothing better to do with their time that to put their noses in other people's faces about such trivial "bullshit", now understand that as I began my little speech for her benefit that I had stood up and unplugged and closed the laptop, unplugged the mouse, coiled the cords and grabbed my purse and just as I said "bs" with added emphasis for effect I did an about face and walked away.
I'm sorry this is going to sound incredibly harsh but.... Actually no....I am not one bit sorry for my opinion on this one. If someone is seriously THAT easily offended they really just need to find a way to put themselves out of everyone else's misery permanently. The world has enough stupidity in it already and this woman just takes stupid asinine idiocy to a whole new meaning.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Seagull in a Snowstorm
Taken 11/16/13 in Brigham City Utah. Our first snow in the valley this season. I love my town, it's the greatest place to live in the country or maybe the world!
