Your Hidden Talent

You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system. And while this may not seem big, it can be. It’s people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes. You’re just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices.

Maybe 😉

To those what have been singing to me in many differnt ways over the last few months,
Thank you.

What is sexy? Yup that was the recent question from my 5 year old daughter.

The one before that was; when will she be getting boobs, cos she had already figured out girls don’t have them and grown up ladies do and that they are apparently desirable.
Rather then upset and burden her with tales of how they don’t appear over night and it starts with puffy and sore nipples and gets worse for about 6 months and that one is usually larger then the other for quiet some considerable time making you feel and look lopsided, I choose to tell her that as she grows up she will change.

That getting boobs is like getting new teeth then your baby ones fall out, like growing taller when you sleep so that you are as tall as a 5 year old and not a 4 year old but that
She would not have boobs like a lady until she was 15/16.

16 is already the magic age for her, at 5 she wants make up galore.
I sure as hell don’t wear the stuff that often hell 2 to 3 weeks can go by with out me bothering or needing to put make up on, so she was told that she could not wear more then lip-gloss until she was 16. She already had sparklely glittered lip-gloss stuff and I was drawing a line there. But once she had two types of lip gloss one got worn as lip gloss and blush and the other as eye shadow. Really were does she get it from???

So I got asked ‘Mam what is sexy?’ Well as this would not be a term bandied about the house I asked where she heard it, who used it and how did they use it.
Apparently A six year old on the road who likes B a six year old girl made the comment,
That B has a nice smile and that she is sexy.

Sounds straight forwards but it took over ten mins of non leading questioning to find that much out. So I told my daughter that A was being silly that B was much too young to be sexy and you can’t be called sexy until you are at least 16. My bright little 5 year old thought about it and then said ‘oooh so you can’t be sexy until you’re 16 and have boobs.’ Happy with the information and her conclusion she went back to colouring in.

A spade is a very different thing from a shovel.

Yes descriptively they seem to be the same, long wooden handle metal shape on the end of it.
Yes they are both usually found in the garden shed.
Yes they are both to be bought in the gardening section of shops and diy store.
They are not the same.

Infact to use a spade as a shovel will infact damage it so much so it can not then function properly as a spade.

shovel

n 1: a hand tool for lifting loose material; consists of a curved container or scoop and a handle.

A shovel can take a lot more abuse then a spade. A Shovel can be used to move snow, shift rubbish, mix concrete.
It can take the knocks against concrete and walls and still be a shovel.

spade
n.

1. A sturdy digging tool having a thick handle and a heavy, flat blade that can be pressed into the ground with the foot.

Ahh see that a spade is called so as it is a blade on the end of a long handle. You can’t use a blade
to mix conrete, shift rubbish, take knocks of cobbles and walls and skips and expect it to keep it’s edge and cut into
turf and earth properly.

and why this rant because I had two neighbours recently as me for the loan of my spade and when I asked them what for
one said they were cleaning the back yard and had swept up and need it to scoop up the stuff, and the other wanted to shift sand back into a bag the kids had spilled.

I explained that they needed a shovel for this and they looked confused and had no idea why or the damage they would be
doing to the edge of the spade doing that. Sorry you don’t call in to ask for a lend of something to be used in such away that
will damage it and you sure as hell do not get stroppy with me on my doorstep like a kid not getting thier way.

A Spade is not a shovel.

I never liked dolly growing up, never did the baby doll thing.
I did have a Cindy she didn’t last long, after the colour Mohawk hair cut and she was take off me when she was made
what was to my mind at the time anatomically correct with a compass.

But I found some that I do like…
(and approve of even more so then betty spaggetii and that was cos you can pull her arms and legs off.)

Steve Varner is the creater of the doll and here is an interview it did about them

Right first off I am not a disney fan.
The most interesting parts are usually the villains, I prefer nightmare before Christmas and studio gibli and Titan AE.

There are certain disney titles hold a certain place due to childhood memories and the films simply being fun.
Sleeping beauty, yes I could definalty identify with the headstrong book lover that is Belle.
Peter Pan still holds the test of time despite the portrayal of the injuins in it, but alas it lacks the clapping to keep Tink alive.
Alice in wonderland is not bad either or is Mulan.

But as disney has used up all the known fairy tales and finished plundering the past (Hercules don’t get me started on that one)
and tales from other cultures they are going back and rehashing the older movies.

Bambi 2 (apparently his Dad didn’t do a runner), Cinderella 2 (and they all lived happily ever after until the next day and eventually were divorced, maybe). What ever next really just give it up and hire some one with a decent original idea ffs.

Once it was that disney were really only makers of children’s film and of animation but times moved on and most of the
best (top grossing does not mean best by a long shoot) films for children have come from other places.

Put really the last dregs of utter drivel of the (insert title of disney movie over 10 years old) 2 are not worth focusing your
eyes to watch.

Usually my kids have pretty good taste in movies and films but occasionally I do have to watch disney with them, thankfully
there is popcorn and reading a book while I sit with them.

hmmm wonder if it is possible to write an rpg scenario where you get to play a collective of villains trying to take out all the
goody two shoes from thier films……..

You control an eccentric family, and you want your characters to suffer the most terrible tragedies possible
before dying untimelydeaths.
Meanwhile, you keep your opponents happy and healthy. So, instead of foiling your opponent with a chain to the head,
you’re ruining thier plans with awell-placed happy marriage and unexpected inheritance.
