Giving

 

Morning

Yesterday I suggested giving to an AIDS foundation in honor of World AIDS Day. A few left comments or sent emails that they'd done just that.

Now it's Giving Tuesday.

So much is needed, and most people are struggling to make ends meet due to rising costs on everything. And I do mean everything.

But, as Maddie pointed out on his blog A Day With the Mistress Borghese, we can donate in other ways: Our time, our talents, or items we no longer use.

Remember to be good to yourself, too. Donate to your own well-being in some way to keep the batteries charged.

Some fun of the season....

Walking a Tightrope

 

Morning

"Had a meeting with my son's coach and he's got a bowl of condoms on the corner of his desk. Some parents are starting to grumble. What's your take?"

Oh, yeah, we've heard these stories, haven't we? The parents who think it's giving permission or promoting sex. And, "who's paying for them" is another big concern.

I think it's a bit like walking a tightrope. But here's the thing: Once they've become sexually active, are they going to stop? No. Just like when they start jacking off, they aren't going to stop just because someone tells them they shouldn't.

They may as well be safe. Safe from unwanted pregnancy and safe from STIs.

Maybe the coach should put that bowl in a file cabinet or desk drawer. Still accessible, but not "in your face" obvious that they're there and free for the taking.

What say you, Readers?

A Pleasant Day

Morning

Happy Day of Giving Thanks

Hope you all have a very pleasant day.
