Caveat
Caveat A warning, caution, admonition, prequalification, proviso. Okay……… Now, there are rules for everything………lots of them. And by and large, most folks follow the rules or suffer the consequences. Some folks love breaking rules. They live to break rules. Me, I’m like that. Let’s talk about the first set of folks. They get their knickers in a twist if you don’t do exactly what they think you should do in every given situation. They probably even keep a tally of all the times you didn’t do things the way they should’ve been done, yanno - “the right way” - and they tend to remind you about them ….. often. I know this because my sister the Saint is one such person. Now, she is also a very good, very nice person who will likely be taking names at Heaven’s door so I’m not slamming her just saying, she’s a little tight around the asshole. But, she does tend to get “that look” when you break the rules, most of which are unwritten and unbelievably obscure at least to me. The rule breakers come in small, medium, large and OMFG. For me, rules are rules if they save lives, ensure safety or otherwise have a purpose I can understand and support. If they don’t, then rules are just made to be broken. They are not laws, they are not mandated by anyone except some officious idjit who decided them without my consent and yanno………no. So I fall in the medium to OMFG rule breaker category depending on circumstance. Within the confines of the Saint’s house, I try to stay at the medium level. When it comes to resistance, I tend to ratchet it up to the OMFG level, with the caveat (see above), I do not lie, intentionally do physical harm to another human being, or , okay I can’t think of a number three right now. With regard to blogging, I have my own rules. And one caveat. 1. I do not blog about other bloggers, although I have pimped people on occasion 2. I do not disclose personal information without permission 3. I write about ideas, about moments, so stop taking them personally for god’s sake 4. Caveat: if you find one, any, all of my blogs offensive, feel free to contact me via message and let me know why. We can discuss it. If you make it a HUGE deal as a comment, I may decide to block you. This is me, noting a prequalification, proviso and a warning. If you’re polite, no problem, we’re cool. Well that about sums it up. Nothing to see here…..just a stressed out bitchy woman, setting some limits. You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

My ex husband was a rule maker and follower. He kept track of how many rules members of the family actually didn't follow or broke and once you went over his unannounced limit--you were held in contempt and/or ignored. Like you, there aren't too many rules I actually have or follow. Needless to say, my marriage didn't last. Never ignore those who care for you you will have lost diamonds while you were collecting stones

Agreed with Annette - just common sense!

Rules... those are for other people aren't they? I think respect is a good rule. As in be respectful of others... at least until they prove they are not worthy of respect. Vive La Difference

WE, wow, your blog posts are so well written. I cannot imagine someone having an issue with them because they have so many different images in them that seem very personal to you. I admire the way you write, and even if I don't leave a comment, I always leave your blog thinking some pretty deep thoughts. kk The observant make the best lovers, I may not do right, but I do write, I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life, Kitkat Come check out my blog KItkat1415 check out this post by me Adventures In Body Grooming #39 April Topic Link: What Lies Beneath If April Showers Oh Bloody Hell What Kind Of Weather Turns Me On Bloggers Symposium 40

" If you’re polite, no problem, we’re cool. " That's how I feel, too.

I'd like to add that I used to break rules... no use for them, and I have lived an unconventional life, for sure. But... (there is always a but, huh?) After being a swim official for years, there is value to the simple rules like "two hand touch at turns" and if you don't do that, then you are disqualified or DQ'd. It has been my experience that when someone is told that there is a rule, and the consequences of breaking that rule, and then they break the rule, they should not be surprised by the consequences being imposed upon them. When they turn around and try to argue the rule, when it is quite simple, then perhaps they should get out of the water? Saying that you are a rule-breaker, in that case and then railing at the consequence strikes me as wasted energy.
