Weekend Chew & Stew - June 6. 7 & 8, 2008

by Marilyn Mackenzie

Whether you agree with the concept or not, everyone needs to be able to vent from time to time. That's especially true if you're one of the many who suffer from an invisible illness. We have whines and rants about pains, medical professionals and prescriptions, just to name a few. Perhaps our families listen; perhaps they don't. Even if they do, they get tired of our complaining, even if they claim to understand our constant struggles. Or if they don't get tired of our "negative energy" we think they do or will.

So, are you ready to rant about something?  Or are you chewing on something?  Or stewing about something?  This is the place to tell all. 

It's also the place to tell all about the happy events in your life. 

What's happening in your world today?  Are you grumpy about something?  Or so angry that you could spit?  Tell it here.  Here at the Weekend Chew & Stew it's acceptable to rant, vent, complain, stomp your feet, throw a tantrum and shout, "Oh shuckie darn!"

Wait! Don't go away. Do you have some good news to share? Great. This is the place for that as well. If you're celebrating, dancing, and yelling, "Yippee skippy!" please share. Sometimes knowing about someone else's happiness gives us a bit of hope for ourselves.

Whether you're shouting, "Oh shuckie darn!" or yelling, "Yippee skippy!" - this is the place to be.

Today is Teacher's Day and National Applesauce Cake Day and my sister's birthday!

Tomorrow is Do-Dah Day, National Chocolate Ice Cream Day.

June 8 is Write to Your Father Day, Abused Women and Children's Awareness Day, Name Your Poison Day, and Upsy Daisy Day.

June 9 is Donald Duck Day.

Food for thought:

If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them.   ~  Fancis Bacan
