GUYS, BABY BUMPS and THE KARDASHIANS

Hi there! I am on another rant this week.Please bear with me and next time I will be more placid.

                                                                      These are guys.

In my last blog I told you I would write about unspeakable things so here goes.
Do all restaurants train their wait staff to call everyone "guys?" The next time I hear it I will leave the restaurant after telling the manager why. Are people really that stupid that they don't say anything to people who address them as guys? A young woman is NOT a guy. An elderly gentleman is NOT a guy. Smarten up.

The next unspeakable thing is the term "baby bump." What jackass came up with that? Leave pregnant women alone. They are not going around showing people their "baby bump." In fact, they usually like to
hide their pregnancy as long as possible.Everywhere you look these days you are confronted by that idiotic
label.Even royalty is not immune to this stupidity. Get a life.


 Baby bump.



But the last, and possibly the most unspeakable of all is the Kardashian family. These three girls (and sometimes their mother) are really over the top when it comes to self-promotion. I am not aware of any special talent that any one of them might possess, unless it is posing in exotic clothes, getting married and divorced or pushing their line of tanning gel called "Glow." They all speak so lovingly about this product that
one wonders if they take it to bed at night. They promise you will look ten pounds lighter if you have a tan; men will flock to your side if you use their product and you will feel very feminine after using Glow. Shameless self-promotion? You bet! But this gaggle of untalented gals (or guys) makes millions. Enough!

Dalmatian, what to call you
With your coat suffused with dot?
Not Prince or Pal or Fido...
We'll just have to call you Spot.

Please come back in two weeks when I will be writing about more terribly important things!
