FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW 12/17/08

An occasional public rant is good for a blogger. Writing about what is getting on that last nerve provides relief.

1. If your child is ill and you know it. Why do you insist upon bringing your little darling to school? Then get angry when we call you to come and take your child home? Or get upset because we are missing time due to exposure to the same illness your child had. Germs have source. Just like death they are no respector of race, gender, sexual orientation or religious creed.

Do me a favor, keep your ill child out until they feel better.

2. Is strictly female related. If you know that there is going to be a portion of your monthly expereiences that will be totally painful-why aren't you ever prepared to manage that pain?

Do you feel better whining in my ear about the symptoms of your menstral cycle? You have my empathy as a woman. But it comes with some practical advice. Get yourself some pain killers, take whatever will help you to avoid being so miserable.
And STFU! with the lament over how badly you are hurting.
This is not a new concept on the subject of self care. It is the one that works. No one has withheld needed information from you. You just won't use the information. Even though you have resources available. Now who is really Boo-Boo the Fool in this matter?

If you do not conduct your pre-mentstral business properly you know what the outcome of self-neglect will be. When the results show up, why, why do you act like you cannot deal with getting relief? You look good trying to handle your business differently. Stop victimizing your womanhood with inactivity.

Obama's race identity: Is that really so important? No. He is who he is-The President Elect of the United States. Get a clue-and get over it! It really has become a subject of annoyance from where I sit. Respect the identity that he has forwarded and make a commitment to get involved once he takes office.
Volunteering to help improve your respective community is the color of success!
