RESPECTING EVERYONE'S OPINIONS AND CHOICES

Yesterday's post here on Diet Coke Rocks caused a bit of a bitch fest.... here and on another person's blog.
I sure in hell did not INTEND for that to happen.


Everyone is ENTITLED to their opinions and choices... be it what they eat, their religious views, political views, what they wear .... hell just about everything we do is going to be in some way,  different from the next person... and so on.


Learning to respect that we are all individuals is what makes the world go around NICELY.  


So... in respect of me and my blog... PLEASE direct any differing opinions you might have at the person you disagree with... on THEIR BLOG.  Leaving comments directed at someone else on MY BLOG is counter productive, and can cause drama that is unnecessary, both for me and the other person.


This is my blog... about my dramas!  Not anyone else's!  FOCUS PEOPLE.... you are reading DIET COKE ROCKS....   LOL


 I  try not to advocate anything, or endorse anything....  And that will never change. But... I must say... DIET COKE ROCKS! *smiles*   


Play nice.


Today:  well I really want it to be a nice day.  With no drama.


Lacy spent the night at a girlfriend's in Papakura... so Griffin got his old bed back for the night.
Talk about musical beds around here!


As Bex is here staying with Steve, Griffin was kicked out of the garage and had to sleep on an air bed in the 'gym room' on Thursday night.... not that he minds!  It's kinda fun apparently.


I think if it's a nice day we should go for a walk somewhere nice.... any suggestions? 


AND NO HILLS... this tart does NOT DO HILLS....lol!


MARY H:  nope, I am not going to put the frogs photos on my sidebar....lol!  And same for grandkids... there is getting to be a lot of them! I can hardly believe we will have 10 grandkids by the end of July! I don't feel that old... *sniff*


ONWARD...


It's a late start for everyone this morning.
Lacy arrived home at 5.30 am.  Not that impressed.
I moved from my bed to the couch at 3am... and proceeded to cough and cough until I finally got up and gave in on sleep.


I'm still keen on a walk somewhere.... it is A GLORIOUS DAY!


Stew wants to get the lawns mown... so maybe after that?


MARIA: point taken.  Might I just say... until you walk in my shoes... you have no idea how you would react to certain situations.  I make no apologies for reacting how I do... it's just how I am.  And after all life has thrown at me, which I am sure you know nothing about... you cannot judge how/why I react like I do.  I am just one person, with faults and failings like everyone else.  And I am TRYING to moderate myself now days, as obviously my reactions annoy some people.  There is always that BIG FAT X top right if you or anyone else dislikes my blog. And this is not a knee jerk reaction to your comment, it was chewed over for a good HOUR at least!  *smiles*


Question:  does anyone know why my blog interface keep going to the new interface over and over again?   It takes me a while to get it to revert back to the old interface.... which I choose.  But then it up and goes back to the new one?  It's driving me mental.


OH... and I re-worded my Disclaimer a bit... to cover all the bases so to speak.


ONWARD....  IT'S GOING TO BE A BLOODY NICE DAY.


MARIA:  All good.... points taken.  And let me assure you I AM TRYING  very hard to not react so quickly or easily to 'stuff'.   It's hard though!


LYNDA:  *smiles*  off to add that snippet of info to my disclaimer!


Shit a brick... so it looks like I HAVE to use the new interface eventually.... so I have switched over now.  And I am bound to get all hot and bothered trying to find where everything is now.  Oh well... roll with the changes I suppose!


We decided to go out to Maraetai for lunch and a walk....


ABOVE: hot chips at the beach....

ABOVE:  Griffin up a tree... it was about here that I realised the flash on my camera had stopped working.  Drat... will need to get that fixed asap...


ABOVE:  walking around the waterfront...

ABOVE:  there were lots of wee birds in the Toi... but most of them flew away when we stopped to take a photo.

ABOVE:  I love love love that huge metal buoy...

ABOVE: checking out another little pier in the next beach over from Maraetai.  Been there, done that.
Home now... and tired as... this not sleeping due to the cough from hell is not fun.


End of Day:  thanks for the tip Sparkling.... and MaryH.. yes people do fish off the pier.
ON TRACK:  why yes!  I was saying to Stew just today how good I am feeling about my portion sizes... I have finally found that keeping portion size on the 'light' side is really much better, you don't get that STUFFED feeling, and you actually enjoy the meal much more.
nite nite.
