Dear Butthurt,

Get over yourself!

Since I started hunting this season, I've seen more negative anti-hunting posts than ever. A lot are from vegetarians but most are from just ignorant people.

So take for instance the story about the kid in Michigan who shot the albino deer. People have made death threats against this child. What the hell? Threaten to kill a kid because you're mad that he killed an animal? That doesn't make any sense. The kid didn't do anything illegal. It's not an endangered species and with the overbreeding it's not even really all that rare.

I do have a question for those against hunting: if one jumped out in front of your car, late one night on a lonely country road would you still be that deer's biggest fan? After it totals your car and possibly brings injury or worse to the occupants of your car I doubt that you'll still be cheering for the deer.

Do you understand that without hunting there would be such an over population of deer that they would be invading suburban areas becoming nuisances? Are you just gonna shoo them away? 

I know that some people hunt for just the sport of hunting, that's none of my business and it's none of your business either. And truth be known, I would be thrilled with the rack of a 10 pointer hanging on my wall. And that's none of your business either.

I've seen comments saying that hunting is barbaric and inhumane. I dare you to go on YouTube and search for how cattle is killed in slaughter houses. Honestly, a shot that drops a deer, whether it's from a rifle or a bow and arrow, is a lot less inhumane.

Mark and I hunt for food. It's why we fish. It's also why we don't duck hunt because we don't eat duck. Financial times get hard but it's nice having a skill that allows you to feed your family.

Venison is a lot leaner than most other meats too. I found that out the other night when I was putting my venison cubed steak in my food diary on My Fitness Pal. Just a bonus benefit.

I do realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinions on every subject under the sun but just don't be ignorant about it. 

It's not like he killed a cat.

Signed,

Andrea

Thank You TLC

If you haven't heard, TLC has put an end to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo! And to this a say a big thank you and:

Like I said earlier to my daughter I don't know why I even care, it's like a car wreck that you should look away from but you just keep staring. I keep reading.

And the WSSL FM's Beth Bradley posted this on her blog this morning: http://m.wsslfm.com/onair/beth-bradley-41258/how-can-a-convicted-child-molester-12912547/

Mama June is dating this convicted child molester, Mark McDaniel, and the thing is, he molested one of HER older kids. Why on earth would you invite that perv back into your life? It's like saying "I've got another daughter. Would you like a turn with her?" It's not okay June. Wtf are you thinking? And if it happens again, June, do you realize that you're as guilty as him? You can be convicted and you'll be listed as a sex offender. Wake up honey, he's only dating you to get to your daughters! 

Alana's dad, Sugar Bear, is very upset about this and according to Beth's blog and other articles I've read he's seeking custody. Can't say I blame him there. There's just so much not right about all of this. Never has been.

And if you've read my blog for a while now, you know this isn't my first post about those seemingly inbreds from Georgia. The fact that they're giving my South a bad rep is just too much! We are not all like that. And I'll just bet that you folks from the North & West have some people you're not so proud of from your areas too! 

We can only hope that this is just a scandal to keep Mama June and her clan in the public eye. It's sick if it is but at least if it is, Alana and her sisters aren't in any danger. From day one these people have been going about it the wrong way to get attention and the longer it goes on the worse it gets.

I doubt this will be my last post about that crew and that's sad for me to admit. But thanks to TLC, what's been seen can't be unseen.

Here's the link to my first post about them: http://caviarandcornbread.blogspot.com/2012/10/oh-puh-leeze.html

Migraines in a nutshell

There are a lot of people out there who are still under the assumption that a migraine is just another name for a headache. Well, sillies, if it were we'd just call it a headache. Let me walk you through one of my typical migraines.

First, there's the nausea. It may bring on a puke fest or it may not. It normally does bring on the productive festivity that I mentioned for me. (And I try not to say the "p" word too often for those with weak tummies.)

Next, I go blind. Sometimes it's in both eyes but normally it's in my left eye and has lasted anywhere from 10 minutes to 48 hours.

Then, imagine your head, but only one side of it (usually the right side for me and rarely the left) in a vise grip. Someone is turning the crank thingy on the vise until your head is close to popping. Oh, if only it were just a headache. But no! It doesn't stop there.

Because there's also sensitivity to light. Not only can I not see out of my left eye but it feels like my right eye is being impaled by shards of glass. "Sensitivity to light" my ass! That lovely phrase makes it sound like a walk in the park while wearing shades.

Then we have "sensitivity to smells". Oh brother. Try "using dollar store perfume for nasal spray" to be more accurate. The scent of everything is magnified by a million. Something that's usually a delight to inhale becomes a nightmare.

And lastly, sensitivity to sounds. We have five 2 week old kittens. During a migraine there tiny cries sound like King Kong slamming one of those bells like on a receptionist's desk, over and over again with Thor's hammer.

No, a migraine isn't just another name for a headache. And after reading this, you still think so, I'm gonna beat ya with Thor's hammer! Lol

Good night!

Pet Peeves

We've all got them but the older I get, the more I have. Here are mine, in no particular order:

1.  Going through the trouble if shaving your legs, being proud of yourself for taking time to do it and then when you get out of the shower and start putting your lotion on only to find a strip of hair running the length of your leg that you missed.

2. People who stare. I get lost in though often and when I do, I try to make sure that I gaze at an object not a person. It drives me insane when it feel that someone's eyes are locked on me.

3. People who chew their food or chewing gum so loudly that you can hear it. That's just rude.

4.  Being interupted.

5.  Bad grammar.

6. People who have a high school or family reunion in the center of an aisle in Walmart. Or at the opening. Last weekend, we stopped at Walmart and I stayed in the car while Mark went in. Two ladies stood in the doorway talking forever...well, like 15 minutes, but still.  People were annoyed as they had to work their way around them just to go in the door.

7.  People who allow their kids to run around, unattended, in stores or restaurants.

8.  People who use their day to continuously post complaints on social media. From time to time it's okay. But when every single status update is a bitch about something. That's just too much!

That's pretty much all I can think of right now. I'd love to read yours though so post them in the comments!
