Editor's Note: Lest we lead the reader
to believe that we are
merely trying to stir up controversy with certain columns,
allow us to offer this explanation for our editorial treatment of the p- - word.
First, it has been established from Eva's
own 'mind/keyboard continuum',
that 'correct' spelling is not her strongest attribute.
Therefore, while editing her work, and noticing a word that our trained team of
editors did not recognize (pee), we proceeded with much
caution.
Checking our desk side reference:
Webster
II New
The closest word we could find to what she was attempting to
spell was:
pea
(pē) n. 1. A vine, Pisum sativum,
bearing round edible seeds in
green pods. 2. Any of several
plant that are related to or
resemble the pea.
Since neither definition seemed to fit her context,
we simply decided to publish p - - . We are perplexed at what seems
to have touched a sore spot with our artist in the journal entries below.
When we get time we will pull out the desk reference
and look for this other new vocabulary word under 'u.'
One question:
Is the parodist nature of this particular editorial note in violation of the 9th
Commandment?

Today I went onto the church website, to see if my journal had been posted. It had, and I went ahead and read through it really quick just to see how it looked. Well, I am gonna be honest. I was shocked to see that the word p-- had been edited. I mean what is wrong with that word? Why on earth, would anyone get offended by that? Don't get me wrong, I am not mad, not at all, but I am extremely surprised and aggravated that a simple word like that, a word that my son will no doubt use as he learns to use the bathroom, has to be modified at the slight chance of offending someone.
This actually bugs me more then the whole thing about taking the ten commandments out of buildings. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that it is appropriate to use certain language on a public website where someone could take offense, but words like p--, and some others, are just silly words. People are just taking things way too seriously. To me, an offensive word is any word that is used towards someone in anger, or a word that is used to be cruel or hurtful. That's a cuss word. Sometimes, and only sometimes, does a person say something around me or to me that I don't like, and you know what, I don't care....I don't worry about it, because they aren't trying to be offensive, they aren't seeking out to annoy me.
Now, why am I rambling on and on about this. Especially since most of this you won't be able to read as I am using the word p-- a lot. lol But I don't care, because the whole point is that even if you don't like it, you shouldn't get all worked up. I don't even know if anyone has gotten worked up over what I write, but just the surprise of having a word like that modified was enough for me, since that obviously means that there is a high chance that someone might. Ugh, the frustrations. This s----! lol oops, there's another one. Yep, I am going to get edited a lot in this one.
Ok, I'm done with that. If any of you reading this do hate the word p--, and I have some how hurt your feelings, well, I promise to now use the word urinate.
In other news. I was gone all day. I went to visit a friend today who lives in the mountains and I drove myself there. I was very proud. As usually I never do that. I make James do all the driving to places I don't know. So I drove up there with my best friend Jessica and her twin boys and Isaiah, to see Tiffany our other best friend. We had a good time. Poor crippled James was left all alone to fend for himself. So sad.
You know what is funny? If I am
gone, my dogs will not eat. It doesn't even seem to matter if James is
here or not. If I am gone, they will not eat. So, having been gone
from
Anyway, that's all for now. I am gonna lay down. I feel tired, yet restless, I don't know how to solve that problem. Bye

As I am typing this, James and I are also playing scrabble online. So I will be letting you all know how the game goes periodically. Currently, I am winning, but honestly that won't last long, as James almost always wins.
Speaking of James, he is still hurting, didn't work today and instead went to the doctor. He pulled a muscle, and the doctor doesn't want him commuting to work, since he would have to sit a long time. She says he has to get up and move around frequently, put ice on it, and she also gave him some meds. So he will be working from home all week, and you know what that means? That I now have to plan a dinner every day this week. Honestly, that kind of stinks for me. I am used to making nothing 3 days a week, and Isaiah and I just wing it. Now, I have to plan something out. ugh
On the up side, I also get to have the car all week, which is a big change, and we also get to save on gas money, and toll money this week. So that will be nice. Hopefully James will continue to take his meds like he is supposed to, and then I won't have to help him put his socks on anymore. Not that I mind. I like helping him. Even Isaiah has been great and helped him get his pants on.
(I am getting slaughtered at scrabble right
now.)
(Oops, I take
that back, I got slaughtered,
and I just lost.)
This afternoon I was outside with Isaiah, and our bigger dog, Dusty, decided to start rolling around on the grass, a perfectly normal thing to do, but when she got up, and I started petting her, she was all wet and smelled like p--. I couldn't believe that she was rolling around in that. So, because James is too hurt to do it, I had to keep her outside, give her a bath, and end up almost as wet as she was. She was constantly shaking water and shampoo all over me. Just awful. And of course there is now dog hair all over our cement patio. Dumb dog.
Anyway, that's really it for
now, nothing exciting, just a regular, boring day, of me taking
care of Isaiah, the house, and my crippled husband.
Ah, life is so hard. j/k lol
Bye
