JUST A FEW THINGS TO ADDRESS FROM THE 'OWNER' OF 'THE HEMLOCK TEA ROOM AND LADIES' EMPORIUM'.
COMMENTS
I'VE MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR BEFORE THAT I WILL NOT PUBLISH COMMENTS THAT CONTAIN A SALES PITCH, A LINK TO YOUR FAVORITE PORN SITE, NUDIE PHOTOS, BUSINESS VENTURES, OR VIRUS-RIDDLED WEBSITES.
JUST GIVE IT UP.
I MODERATE COMMENTS AND THEY WON'T GET BY TO EVER BE POSTED.
WHILE THE TEA ROOM USES AND ACCEPTS COMMENTS WITH "MILD PROFANITY", THE "F-BOMB" AND SIMILAR SLANG TERMS ARE A NO-NO IN COMMENTS... BECAUSE I SAY SO...MY BLOG, MY WAY.
BESIDES, I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN WHO DROP IN NOW AND THEN TO SEE THE PICS.
JUST TODAY, A WOULD-BE COMMENTER ASKED WHY I POSTED WHAT I POST, BUT THE ORIGINAL WAS MORE ON THE ORDER OF,
"WHY THE ___ DO YOU POST SO MUCH ___ ABOUT ____ RADIATION AND ___ALL THE ___TIME?"
ANSWER (WHICH THAT ONE WILL LIKELY NEVER SEE):
"BECAUSE I ___POST WHAT I FEEL LIKE___POSTING, YOU___, ___,___,___,___ JERK. MY BLOG, MY WAY."
YEAH, THE "HOSTILE SAVAGE" REARS ITS HEAD A FEW TIMES A DAY, BUT I MANAGE TO MAINTAIN COMPOSURE, RIGHT?
OKAY, NOT ALWAYS.
THERE ARE 5 CATEGORIES OF COMMENTS THAT VEX ME SORELY.
1~ THOSE WHO ARE DELUSIONAL ENOUGH TO IMAGINE ANYTHING I POST IS FOR A "FEAR FACTOR".
THE TEA ROOM IS 100% AGAINST FEAR, AS I HAVE STATED WAY TOO MANY TIMES.
I LOOK FOR ANSWERS, SOLUTIONS, DEPEND ON KNOWLEDGE TO ERADICATE FEAR.
NO ONE SHOULD COME HERE NOR LEAVE IN 'FEAR'.
WE LEARN, THEREFORE WE NEITHER PERISH NOR FEAR.
FEAR ROBS US OF LIFE!
LOSE FEAR, BETTER LIFE.
2~ DEVOUT "PARTY PEOPLE".
I AM ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT TO THE BONE.
I LOATHE BOTH "PARTIES" BECAUSE THEY'RE THE SAME CURSE.
I AM A DEVOUT 'CONSTITUTIONALIST' AND ANYONE WHO COMMITS TREASON AGAINST THAT ORIGINAL DOCUMENT IS NO FRIEND OF MINE.
I SEE THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM AS A CONTINUATION OF THE CIVIL WAR.
I NEVER COULD "STAND ON THE PARTY PLATFORM".
I'D RATHER STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET, THANKS.
"WEIGHING" BOTH PARTIES IN MY PERSONAL SCALES, I HAVE FOUND, OVER THE HALF CENTURY I'VE BEEN OBSERVING BOTH, THAT THE GOP IS RIDDLED WITH ELITISTS, WITH "GOOD OLE BOYS" WHO SEEM TO HATE EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT THEM, FROM NON-WHITES TO POOR PEOPLE.
NOT ALL IN THE GOP, BUT THOSE "IN POWER", DEFINITELY.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE TOO SOCIALIST FOR MY TASTE.
MY OPINIONS, AND I DON'T CARE WHO'S OFFENDED BY THEM.
3~ SUPREMACISTS.
NO, SORRY, I DON'T THINK ANY RACE IS "SUPERIOR" TO ALL THE REST, BUT I AM FOND OF MY OWN AND EXPECT ALL PEOPLE TO BE PROUD OF THEIR ANCESTRY.
WHILE I CALL MYSELF AN AMERICAN, THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS AMERICA 500 YEARS AGO, WAS THERE?
AND ABOUT THAT "SPEAK ENGLISH" RULE...ENGLISH IS NOT NOW AND NEVER WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES.
LEARN ONE OF THOSE?
I RECOMMEND THE GIDUWV DIALECT.
[YOU CAN FIND THAT BY THE MISSPELLING..."GIDUWA"]
I MAY "SHOOT ONE OVER THE BOW" OF ANYONE WHO LOOKS DOWN ON OTHER RACES, AND, YES, I AM INDEED A BIT "OVER-SENSITIVE" WHEN IT COMES TO "AMERICAN INDIANS"(WHICH, BTW, INCLUDES THOSE SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE...LOOK IT UP).
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW SENSITIVE.
"MANIFEST DESTINY" IS A PERVERTED MYTH.
RACIAL SUPREMACY IS B.S.
4~ RACISTS
IT MAY SEEM THIS WOULD COME UNDER SUPREMACISTS, BUT NO.
RACISTS ARE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BREED.
SUPREMACISTS ARE SNOBS.
RACISTS TRULY HATE.
WHILE I CAN CERTAINLY AND QUITE MERRILY REPLY TO RACIST COMMENTS, I'D RATHER NOT DIRTY MY PAWS TYPING THOSE.
JUST FORGET LEAVING RACIST COMMENTS
5~ ANTI-ENVIRONMENTALISTS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM.
I WAS REARED TO RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND EVERYTHING IN IT.
FOR ME, EVERYTHING OUT THERE THAT HAS LIFE HAS A RIGHT TO KEEP ITS LIFE, SAME AS I DO.
AS A HUNTER, FISHERMAN, FORAGER FOR FOOD, SOME MAY FIND THAT STATEMENT HYPOCRITICAL.
I REFER YOU TO THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE...LOOK IT UP.
I DO AS I WAS TAUGHT AND THANK THE LIFE I TAKE TO SUSTAIN MY LIFE.
I USE EVERY SINGLE PART OF IT, NOTHING WASTED.
IT 'BECOMES' ME, AND I AM GRATEFUL.
RESPECT IS NOT FANATICISM.
I DON'T FEEL GUILTY FOR HAVING AN ELK ROBE ON MY BED, NOR FEATHERS IN MY FANS, NOR DEER SKINS IN MY 'SHOES' AND SUCH.
NOPE.
SO, PAY ATTENTION TO THE COMMENTS RULES BECAUSE I'M JUST A LITTLE WEARY OF DELETING 40 OR SO RULE-BREAKERS EVERY BLOODY DAY.
AND IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE IN "THE LIST OF 5" AND I POST YOUR COMMENT, DON'T ACT ALL SHOCKED AND APPALLED WHEN I GIVE YOU BACK WHAT YOU SEND IN.
GIRD YOUR LOINS, DON'T WHINE.
MY BLOG, MY WAY.
THE TEA ROOM IS A NO-ADS SITE.
BROKEN LINKS
JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU FIND ONE.
I CAN DO REPAIRS IN A JIFFY.
IF YOU DON'T LET ME KNOW, I WON'T KNOW.
SIMPLE, YES?
I HATE BROKEN LINKS SAME AS THE NEXT GUY, SO DROP A COMMENT.
[SEE ABOVE]
UPDATES
YES, I DO UPDATES...EXACTLY AS I PLEASE, WHEN AND IF I PLEASE.
AND IN MY UPDATES, AS YOU MAY NOTICE, SAME AS IN MY QUOTES, I USE HIGHLIGHTING, BOLD TYPE, UNDERLINING, WHATEVER ELSE COMES TO MIND TO CALL ATTENTION TO WHAT I FEEL IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T "HEAR" ME, SO YOU MIGHT MISS WHAT I WANT TO 'SAY' IF I LEAVE OUT, AS ONE PERSON PUT IT, "ALL THAT 'SHOUTING'".
IT'S CALLED "INFLECTIONS"...HARD TO ACCOMPLISH IN PRINT.
I ALSO PUT MY TAKE ON QUOTES, MY "NOTES", IN BRACKETED COMMENTS,
AGAIN, MY BLOG, MY WAY.
I NEVER STARTED THIS BLOG AS A "POPULARITY CONTEST".
IF NO ONE READS HERE, I'M FINE WITH THAT.
ALL-CAPS
HOW MANY TIMES A DAY DOES SOMEBODY CALL ME ON MY ALL-CAPS!
I'VE EXPLAINED IT BEFORE, BUT LET'S RUN THROUGH IT AGAIN...FOR THE FINAL TIME.
MY OPTOMETRIST TELLS ME I NEED AT LEAST FIVE LENSES IN ONE PAIR OF GLASSES TO PROPERLY SEE.
NO!
MY TRI-FOCALS GIVE ME A HEADACHE AND MAKE ME DIZZY.
SO, NOPE, NO MORE!
SURE, I CAN USE "PAGE MAGNIFIER" AND SPEND MORE TIME SLIDING THE PAGE LEFT-TO-RIGHT THAN THAT'S WORTH.
NOW AND THEN, WHEN I CATCH MYSELF GOING ALL-CAPS AND STILL STRAINING TO SEE, I CHANGE TO THE LOWER-CASE.
THEN, WHEN I GO BACK TO ALL-CAPS, IT'S ALL BETTER.
But look at the difference!
Can YOU see that as clearly as THIS?
I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE EXCELLENT VISION.
I REMEMBER HOW NICE THAT WAS.
NEVER, NEVER, FOR THE LOVE OF PEACE, COMMENT THAT MY ALL-CAPS IS "BAD INTERNET ETIQUETTE".
I DON'T GIVE A FLYING DAMN ABOUT ETIQUETTE, INTERNET OR OTHERWISE.
I DID MY TIME ON ETIQUETTE.
I'M 'RETIRED' NOW...FROM A LOT OF THINGS, ETIQUETTE BEING JUST ONE...SO SCREW THAT.
LIKE THE BANNER SAYS, "POLITICALLY INCORRECT, 100% INDEPENDENT".
MY SON EVEN CHIDES ME NOW AND THEN FOR ALL-CAPS BECAUSE HE SAYS HE HAS A PROBLEM READING THE WORDS.
YEAH, I HAVE A PROBLEM READING HIS lower-case emails.
WE SUCK IT UP AND GO ON.
OR NOT.
OH, BTW, I'M A HUNT-AND-PECK TYPER, EVEN AFTER 23 YEARS ON THE INTERNET AND A BAZILLION COLLEGE PAPERS, THESES, ETC.
I'VE NEVER TAKEN A TYPING LESSON AND DON'T PLAN TO.
I'D RATHER DO OTHER THINGS.
I DON'T SPEND FOREVER CORRECTING TYPOS BECAUSE I ASSUME YOU ALL HAVE GOOD MINDS AND CAN FIGURE OUT A FEW TYPOS.
SO THERE WE HAVE IT, FROM ME TO YOU...STRAIGHT-UP, HONEST...SOMETHING I SPECIALIZE IN.
HAVE A CUPPA HEMLOCK TEA, PUT YOUR FEET UP, RELAX, READ.
COMMENT.
DON'T.
FREE WORLD, FREE CHOICES.
MY BLOG, MY WAY.
THANKS.
SOCRATES WAS WRONG...NO ONE CAN MAKE ANYONE DO OR THINK ANYTHING, UNLESS THEY ARE WILLING.
