People may think I'm some sort of an asshole. Not even close! I have always worked and saved! I got some 'clearance bin' Lavender soap the other day - Yardley Lavender soap - two bars for 62 cents!!! I felt like I had struck gold!
But, I don't like it. I like liquid bath soap (and you KNOW it will be the Suave $1 stuff when it's on sale), and I just don't like the smell of it really. I don't like bar soap, period, I shouldn't have bought it.

Zzelda, Don't EVER apologize for your pain or your problems. I find that that breeder tendency to go, "But MY difficulties are SO much worse than yours because I HAVE KIDS" so annoying; try not to internalize that dialogue! (And I hope your car gets better! )

Hey Loaves -
I was thinking about illnesses again, I'll try to spare you all - but - it did give me an idea for you, if you are fed up with your work: Public Health. Could you do something in this field? I really don't know much about all this. There might be something in this arena that could be more rewarding.
What I thought of - as I said - I think I picked up a bug, yet again eyes2 So, what I'm thinking is - OK, remember "irradiated fruit"? OK - gross germ bag kids can be irradiated! Could this work? What about some kind of hand held - ray gun.
I NEED THIS.
It's funny too - I literally do not interact with kids or breeders. Where am I picking this stuff up from? Stores? It is transferred from others, maybe, third hand.

Huge Architectural Firms reminded me - I know an Architect who does 'government buildings' (as I understand, mostly schools and fire stations) - and he says they're swamped with work - I guess the government has created a few jobs, eh? In this area anyway, and I suspect plenty of others - the schools, and PDs, FDs, all look *pretty modern* and perfectly functional to me. I haven't noticed or heard about any new building of these around here. And I hope there is not much un necessary waste / make work / political cronyism, going on with this - ah - but who am I kidding? Well, The Economy is cranking right along in this arena, anyway. Moar Schools! Gah.
Just some thoughts.

Confluence of things: Some stupid show on NPR from some breeder twat at some university doing some stupid ass study about how middle class kids are raised vs. "working class" kids; waste of time; but at the end everybody was all "The goverment needs to hand out a STIPEND to parents so that their kids can have equal opportunities." Sad stats about how 40% or more of US kids are at the poverty level or worse; of course, no discussion about abortion or birth control, just that the solution is more gubment hand-outs like with the oldsters and Social Security.
Fast forward: getting my hair cut and everybody there from the stylists to the customers (mostly duhds) are multiple breeders; the woman doing my hair proudly displayed pics of three kids of hers and then went on the WHOLE fucking time she was cutting my hair about how glad she was to get the kids to spend part of Easter weekend with their duhd so she could have some "off" time.
You know what?
Kids are fucked.
Future kids are fucked.
SO many "single moos" and disinterested duhds. Or just really STUPID duhds.
I just fucking don't get it. The sacrifices our moms made trying to get the word out about how important birth control was and abortion was, all swept under the fucking rug; it's like none of it ever happened and everybody is just fucking standing around going, "How did that baby get here?"
And FORTY FUCKING PERCENT OF US KIDS ARE POOR; what the fuck can they possibly do, education-wise, life-wise, etc?
Major existential angst for me today. I have spent almost three decades in a counselling/advocacy type role and you just see how useless the time you've spent trying to make the world a better place is; not that I ever thought I was anything special, I just fucking worked with tens of thousands of (mostly) women trying to educate them about truly being empowered, educated, enlightened, etc; so if they did choose to have kids, those kids would have the best possible potentials for some type of future.
What a fucking waste of time it's all been.
I feel like some wonderful person who joined the military and wanted to genuinely protect loved ones or disadvantaged folks overseas, whose innocence, time, energy, money and life force got fucking hijacked by a system SOOOOO stacked against them, it was never going to work.
Only, without the pension, healthcare, etc. Oh well. Sucks to be me, heh!
I won't even get into the death threats, attempts on my life, whistleblowing work, etc. That's where the REALLY fun stuff starts.
Anyway, thanks for letting me rant.
