As I See It

Introduction
This is my new, new blog and blog address. Somehow in the move, I was unable to recover my original blog address and subsequently could not post. Note to newbie bloggers: do not set up an account under a provider you may later change or have cancelled on you due to unforeseen circumstances including a poor memory.

Disclaimer: If you read it here it's probably not true but may well be, the people are fictitious or not(but honestly even I am not good enough to make some of this up). The names may be changed to protect the innocent-usually me-from physical, mental and emotional abuse which you will see often doesn't work. Currently, I am under attack by family members who know that dirty dishes left in the sink or uncleared from the table bring on fits of apoplexy which I apparently inherited from my mother's side of the family. To quote my children's favorite phrase "I didn't do it." Even the parrot says this. So, like me you will have to decide for yourself who or what may or may not be true because I'm not sure about the statute of limitations on some of what may be written about here.

Grammatically and Politically Incorrect
I have to get this out of the way from the get go. I am here to write. I don't have time to think about whether I should have used a comma or a semi-colon which should just be a reference to someone who has had bypass surgery. I will try not to split any infinitives, change tenses, use passive tense or forget to make adverbs out of adjectives if I am appropriate thinking. For those of you to who(m?)...just kidding...incorrect punctuation and grammar grates like fingernails on chalkboard (as it does I) or FCC warning emergency alert sounds on your radio, we have this to say...
go print yourself
a copy of this if you can, grab your big red Sharpie and have at it. I am the kind of writer who keeps editors in their jobs. They should be grateful. I refuse to make perfect punctuation and grammar evidence that I can write any more than I have to show you that I can draw to do a painting. I have had the training, I will let others carry on the religion at least until I can afford or tolerate my own editor. Besides in the time it may take to correct something I may have lost an incredibly funny, astute or profound (not likely) thought.

Political incorrectness is just an accusation used mostly by people who want you to believe what they believe as they see it. Political correctness is usually neither and I reserve the right to be also. I have friends and family of all races, education, ages, colors, sexes, sexual preferences, religions, politics and species and am willing to kiss most of them on the lips or at least face and if that isn't good enough then a pox on you.

If you can agree to these terms then welcome to my blog.
