And then there was nothing, like we were never here, no voices… ~ by antihero …………………….

And that’s it, the theory here? You make your own mind up!

There have been many a happy year spent by some members on this forum, some going back to the beginning of when Big Brother started way back.

Some were fairly new.

There have been, births, deaths, marriages announced.  Happy times that needed to be shared. 

Some very sad stories from FM’s who were having a bad time, for whatever reason, and everyone rallied round, because that’s what people do in a crisis!

There had been some major fallouts in this place, but with a forum this size you would expect to.

But above all, some very lasting friendships have been formed, where a bond is soo tight, it will probably stand the pace of time ……..

Dotty Richard ......

And who wants some? With custard or cream?

This is what happens to favourite things when PC (political correctness) has gone mad!

The list is endless, all that we hold or have held sacred slowly drowning in the mad world of PC.

Everything we grew up with has changed, for some reason I have come to think are we pandering to the sensitivity of others? We cannot be classed as men or women anymore, we are just people/person. 

And I love being a woman!

Now do I complain that by labelling me as just a ’person’ have I the right to shout ’I am a woman, not just a person!’ will this be PC? 

Same with men, now we all know how men see their ’manliness’ as sacred, listen up men …. you are being labelled as ’just a person’, why are you not screaming at the top of your voices that YOU ARE MEN! That is usually the norm with the male species. don’t get me wrong, I love men, I seem to get on better with them, maybe that’s because I was brought up with 4 brothers and no sisters, I have had many a laugh in the company of men, that’s very true, so I am not putting you men down here with what I am saying, so please don’t get all sensitive on me, and say I am not PC, *flutters eyelashes* ……

With the endless list of all the things that we are not allowed to call by there proper name anymore, I sometimes get confused, that’s a fact, look I am blonde, so I can be excused for easily being confused, cant I? or am I now putting blondes in the box of being ‘dumb’, ‘stupid’, airheads’? I am not, if I can take the pee out of myself why cant the rest? Actually I will go back to what I said before about my dad, he thinks I am a very intelligent woman, so maybe that is why I do not have a problem taking the pee out of myself, because I am comfortable with who I am. And if I can take the pee out of myself then I say I have the right to have a laugh with others, I would never be nasty with what I say, that’s just not me.

Then we get all PC over inanimate objects, why? I have looked into certain things that have come under the magnifying glass about being PC or not, and usually there is a history as to why they are called what they are, so why change history to pander to what others think, usually the minority,  I just do not get it!

There are many ‘old’ comedy programs that will never be aired again, because of the content of them, the words that no one took offence to then, until someone said it was not PC, why? I think they are funny and the majority of others do as well, because when they were first aired they were very popular.

What some things used to be classed as ‘suggestive’ is not PC because it offends, in the work place you see many a hoohaa coming about because someone took something, now this can even be a joke, in innocence as offensive.

Where will it all stop? And when? When will the PC brigade please stop this nonsense?

So this is what it comes down to, I brought my son up to treat others as he would want to be treated, good philosophy I think there, I have always lived by that, I am always nice to others, but of course unless they cross me for no reason lol. He likes a laugh and joke as we all do, well, most of us ….. So really are these people who are so into being PC forgetting how to live? How to laugh? How to relax? That last one must be true, because they must be on guard all the time, knowing full well that they have to think a certain way, more to the point, how were these people brought up? 

So my theory is this, the PC brigade are aliens!! 

They must be, why would anyone want to change the way we think and behave, dictate to us! I think it’s a way to take over and rule the world, a way to control the way we think and behave, eventually turn us into mindless robots who think the way they do. 

And what better a way to do it, no one realises that this is happening slowly to us as a society, a free thinking society, they are squishing our right to freedom of speech! 

Scared? Well you should be, there may well be one of these ‘PC’s’ next to you right now ….. 

Stand up for your rights people, do not be afraid to speak anymore, shout loud and proud what ever it is you want to say, that is usually not PC, and I will give you the very first words that you should say, out loud now, do not be shy, because this is the meaning of ‘Dotty Richard’ the very heart of what we love, so when you cast your eyes upon these words, do not just read them to yourself, shout them out!! Let everyone hear that we will not be dictated to by aliens ever again, here is the meaning, ready? ……..

SPOTTED DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that’s right’ Dotty Richard’ is one of our favourite puddings, spotted dick, how stupid is that? Now I have said all this I fancy some spotted dick, have not had any for ages, I have custard …….

Time out from theorizing .... part two.

From part one cont: …..

So there he is, the little old man leaning on the wall, I am thinking he is going to have a heart attack! He also says he has in his house a stena chair lift, lol he gives me the parcels, I sign he goes slowly down stairs. Now I am think should I do something? Should he be doing this job at his age, and more to the point his health? But what do I know, he could be subsidizing his pension for all I know, I wont be doing him any favours, if I open my mouth, he could be doing the job to keep himself occupied, so as not to get bored, as I said, what do I know? So I leave it, and hope that I have made the right decision, not to say anything.

10.10am ~  well this is the quickest delivery I have ever had, it’s the stuff I ordered form ‘next’ at 6pm yesterday! Just under 16 hours to get here, how’s that for service! I turn my laptop on, and  I  need to try the things on, and everything fits apart from one item, now I ordered the same size for each of what I got, but how comes there is always one item that will be the wrong fit? So now I have to make arrangements for it to be sent back, and a replacement. Other than that I like all the other things and am quite happy.

11.00am ~ first I need to finish the cleaning that needs doing, also I need to make some bread, so I get all the ingredients together and put it in the bread making machine and make sure that is going. Do you want to know why I make my own bread? Because for one, I could not believe how much bread cost when I came back from abroad, like there, it was about 10p a loaf, and fresh with no preservatives in, so it has been worth my while to get the bread making machine and make my own wholemeal and white bread, that have no preservatives and know what has gone into it. I have worked it out that each loaf cost about 50p, so that’s not bad, a?

Noon ~ I finally am able to get on my laptop and look at emails etc while I am there I have to look at the British Gas website, as my electric supply is through them, and I need to sort out with the payment with them, as the DD that goes out each month for it was not enough for the year overall, as I changed from E-on to BG a year ago, because I had a dispute with E-on, for the first quarter in 2008 my electric bill was so high I nearly had a fit when I saw it, I called them but would they look into it? Nooooo! So I changed to BG, now they for the same period is about £85 cheaper, so no problems there, so I call and pay them, out of the way.

1.00pm ~ have done two loads of washing as well so far this morning, need to put another load in.

1.15pm ~ I parcel up the item that needs sending back to ‘next’, then I look for the number to call them, and it is a 0870 number, why do companies do this? So I look on the ‘saynoto0870’ website to see if there is an alternative landline number and there is, and a free phone one at that …. yay, well I have to say the reason why I am happy is because, I pay £5 extra  month on top of my line rental to get free landline calls 24/7 now this is all landline UK 01-02-03-080, so why should I have to pay the stupid prices for these 0870/0844/5 blah blah? I can guarantee that at the end of each month, I do have a bill purely because of these numbers.  I know I sound like a tight-wade, but its no good throwing money away, that’s not right.

So I call ‘next’  and make arrangements for the item to be picked up tomorrow, and a replacement sent at the same time, job done.

1.45pm ~ while I am on the ‘sayno’ website I notice a petition that is going, to get the hospitals, local GP and clinics to stop using these sort of numbers, and I firmly believe in this, they should not be using these numbers, my surgery does, and I think it is wrong.  See this is what I was saying, some people might not be able to afford these numbers, it soon mounts up when you are holding one for ‘a stoopid long time’, oh I have timed my GP service, you don’t want to know, really! Is this not answering and taking ages to answer deliberate? so that whoever the money goes to gets more? So I click the link and sign the petition, also while I am on, there is another petition that I agree with so sign that one as well. These petition sites are lethal for me, so I quickly get off it before I get carried away ……

2.10pm ~ talking about calling my GP, I have to call them to make an appointment, as I have the results from the MRI scan I had done last Friday to get, don’t suppose that will be good news from what happened while I was there having them done *sigh*. 

Anyoo, I finally get through, after waiting 15 mins from the auto voice to someone saying hello, I ask for an appointment and while i am there about my repeat prescription that I sent in last week, and guess what! For the fourth time not only has it been done, but collected by the wrong pharmacy to be filled and delivered …. pft!!!! So takes ages to sort that out, why is nothing simple?

2.45pm ~ I spend a bit more time on the net, perusing my favourite places, while having a cup of tea.

3.25pm ~ phone goes, it’s a friend of mine, spend over an hour catching up, this is a normal thing everyday, she is not having a good time, her hubby is ill, and she is not too good, just come out of hospital, and what with me, it’s a joke I can tell you. We always seem to find something funny especially me, as I want to cheer people up and make them laugh.

4.30pm ~ well, ear hole is aching lol, and my kitteh, Is moaning at me cos she want me to play with her, so spend some time, throwing her mice for her to run after, she is sooo funny, she gets carried away and then starts running like a banshee, thundering about the place, she sounds like an elephant!!

5.15pm ~ time for me to find something to eat, am not very hungry, so have something quick and easy, that done and finished, wash up and put away.

6.10pm ~ well that’s it, am now going to settle down for the evening. I have actually left a couple of things out of here, that’s because its private stuff, you don’t need to know about my bathroom ablutions. 

My 24 hours are done with sharing with you, not very scintillating is it? Been nice to have no dramas actually … lol …..

Time out from theorizing ....

Part one ....

About time I had some time out, instead of theorizing this week, here Is a total waste of non-theory, brains rest from theorizing and this is what I have done in the past 24 hours …..

Sunday 6pm is where I will start, because I actually did something at that time, it was Sunday, which as we all know is resting day, time out from work, so really that’s exactly what I did all day, slobbed out all day with my kitteh, in my lovely electric recliner chair, I have to be comfortable you know, and just watched TV and catching up on recordings I had done during the week.

Before I carry on, I will recommend an electric recliner chair to all of you, I have never been soo comfortable sitting in anything in all my life, I am in this chair whenever I am on my laptop, the foot rest is up, lappy resting on my lap, cup of tea next to me, within reach, so am not stretching myself. Its soo big my kitteh is beside me on it, and she is nice and comfy and snoozing, I am always in it while watching TV,  I also  recline it right back and snooze in it, make sure you get the right one for you, mine has massive big cushioning all over it, well padded, so if you do not have one yet, go and get one ….. NOW!

Where was I? oh yes ……

Sunday 6pm ~ I have been looking on the ‘Next’ website for some new summer clothes, they have some lovely things out, so I order a few items, and the checkout, it says they will be leaving the warehouse Monday 20th (next day). Now whenever  I am given dates like this after ordering stuff I allow 2-3 days for it to actually get to me.

6.30pm ~ I have something to eat, clean the dishes. Phone call comes from a friend and I chat on there for about an hour, not unusual this, actually an hour is the norm, anything shorter is not the norm.

7.45pm ~ I refresh my memory by watching last weeks episode of  ‘LOST’ I record every episode and watch it about 2-3 time before the next episode, yes, I know I am a really sad person, I know this, but I love this program.

8.45 ~ now I am a quandary, LOST is on at 9pm on Sky1, on ITV1 at 9.20 ‘hells kitchen’ is on, which is not repeated,  so now I am watching ‘lost’ until 9.20 then turn over to watch ‘hells kitchen’, and am glad I did not miss it now, cos Jody the silly boy, threw a tantrum and stormed out, throwing apron off and other items of clothing as he makes his way out the back door, then promptly takes a run and jump over the back fence lol only to be brought back later, I am not going to fill you in why he did this, you should have watched the show, like I do.

10.20 ~ go to the recorded listings, go to this weeks episode of ‘lost’ and then watch it, while drinking my horlicks, also have taken my tablets. And OH MY GOD, this show never ceases to amaze me, I can probably guarantee after each episode I am thinking to myself WTF!!

11.15 ~ well that’s me for the night, my eyelids are drooping, so get myself ready for bed, and as always read for a while, I am still plowing through ‘Phillips Gregory’ books she is the author that wrote ‘Tudor’ series of books, great reading if I do say myself. The one I am on at the moment if the second book of a trio, the favoured child, I would recommend them.

12.30am ~ finally am ready for sleep, I have nearly dozed off a couple of time, but needed to get to the end of the chapter first, my kitteh is at the bottom of my bed, nice and snug and sleeping, I turn the light out, settle down, then gone ……

06.50am ~ oh sh*t, my mobile has bleeped off, the battery must have died, so get up and go plug it in, go back to bed, snuggle back down again with my kitteh.

09.30am ~ ohhhhh this is strange, the first time my kitteh has let me have a lay in since I brought her home day before new year, she must be getting used to my sleeping pattern. Get up wash my kitteh’s bowls out, feed and water her, make myself a cup of tea, take my tablets, then settle down to watch the morning news, see whats happened in the world, make another cup of tea, hang on I will warn you, when I first get up I need at least 5-6 cups of tea before I can face the world and do anything.

09.55am ~ someone is phoning at this early time, a man says he is delivering 3 parcels for me and checking I am in, I tell him yes, within a minute the security buzzer is going. I answer, it is the man with the parcels so I tell him first floor and buzz him in, open front door and wait for him to come up, and wait … and wait .... I then go to the other door to look down stairs … oh crikey a little old man of about 80 is struggling to get up the stairs, ohh noooo lol he gets to me, I ask him if he is ok, he says ‘I don’t do stairs’ ….. what can I say, the poor thing is out of breath and leaning on the wall ……

To be cont:….

Intelligence & ....

.... common sense

Have you noticed that very intelligent people have no common sense? I am not putting anyone down here, I think its just a fact.

Some years ago, I was on a one year course on computers, on this course was a 28 year old man, lets call him Charlie for now, who had never worked in his life!  Since leaving school, university, he had gone from one course to another, for different subjects, no doubt about it he was very intelligent, and he probably had never before come across the likes of me or the other people on this same course, all from different back grounds, different walks of life.

At lunch time we all went to go to the same café, sit and chat about all sorts of stuff, as you do, but I noticed that Charlie had no common sense whatsoever, the simplest things to you and me, was way over his head, he just could not seem to get that it was not major thinking that comes into play with everyday things, just common sense. I was not the only one to notice this. 

Logically thinking, you would have thought that everyone well most peeps, have common sense, some more than others admittedly, but its there. But I have noticed since Charlie, that the more intelligent the person, the less common sense, really! I do not know why, it is just something I have noticed. Maybe I have a way of thinking about things, that for some reason I can solve something by common sense, and when I solve a problem another person will ask how on earth did I think of doing it that way, of just thinking of it, cos it seems so simple now the solution is there, and it is not a hard thing that I have solved, got round, however you like to call it, I used my common sense.

I seem to end up having to explain how I come to the solution or reasoning that I did, so am I now right in thinking that this person who I am explaining to has no common sense? So therefore more intelligent than me? I can honestly say, no, not the case. I am not building myself up here, but I do know what’s what, I just seem to have a knack at some things.

Or is it that I have more common sense than others, does that mean I am really dumb in that case then? Because you can ask my dad you know, he thinks I am a very intelligent person, who thinks straight, and use’s my head, most of the time, in his words to me, “you are not stupid” . 

Does that make me an intelligent person then who just happens to have a lot of common sense? So what does that make the others? The ones I have noticed who are very intelligent with no common sense? I know they are far more intelligent than me that’s for sure, with no common sense.

I am not putting down  people with less intelligence here, I think that because of lack of knowledge etc there seems to be common sense, because they have a simpler way of seeing things, and solving the problems, not over thinking, that’s one way of putting it. Very intelligent people tend to over think the problem, where a bit of common sense is the way to look at it. 

Ahhh yes that’s it then, why highly intelligent people have no common sense, over thinking. Doh! so, STOP IT!

Why have I never thought of it that way before? I should have been able to see it a mile off, over thinking hurts you brain, because you can never get to the solution, that’s for sure. Now I can actually see what I have been saying on here, in black and white, I have the solution for intelligent people, to get some common sense ….. stop thinking!! Or over thinking more to the point, it gets you nowhere fast, it certainly will not give you the common sense to help you with everyday life, maybe there should be a class in how to be stupid, dumber, or just not as intelligent. 

Now there is a niche in the market that I have opened up for someone, please give me the credit for it will you, better still can I have royalty payments, I could do with some money, cos it does not pay good, having common sense.

Maybe I should start charging before some of these blogs can be read, because I am giving people money making ideas, I bet this time next year someone out there will have opened a course on how to behave with less intelligence, and enhance your chances of having more common sense,  hahaha that’s got to be worthwhile, hasn’t it? how long do you reckon the course should go on for?  How long do you think it will take for an intelligent person to be able to achieve this goal? 

This has got to be the funniest money making scheme I have come up with in ages, and should not be laughed at, so please let me know how you get on, or if you see this ‘common sense’ course anywhere please let me know will you? Ta muchly.

Space junk.

Rubbish! 

More importantly ‘Space junk’, and we are all well aware of the rubbish/junk that we throw away which is causing more and more landfills, because we do not re-cycle enough. The reason why basically is maybe laziness, at the moment there is a mountain of paper, waiting for someone to buy, to then re-cycle, now how on earth did that come about? Plastic is the biggest culprit, man made thing, that will not go away! And plastic bags do the most damage, poor  sea faring animals, that get caught up in the handles/can holders thingies, you know the six pack that held together with the plastic that goes round the rims, what’s it called? Anyhoo … them. 

We are forever taking the resources out of the planet, that is not replaced, leaving massive holes behind, void‘s! If we re-cycled more, we would not have to take so much out. 

So you know that we take all sorts from the earth to make things for ourselves, iron, minerals, steel, oil, coal, you name it we take it. These things are used for various things, cars to help us get from ‘a to b’, the oil and petrol to make that car run, you know what I mean, most of it goes hand in hand, we need this stuff to makes other stuff work, yes? Without all this mining, drilling, not only on land but offshore, what would our lives be like? 

We use computers, if we did not have them, what would you be doing? Not only do we need computers for personal use, but for work, more than that, practically everything. so think of the consequences if we did not have this.

Take me for instance, I do not leave the confines of my abode, well its very seldom, not through choice I might add, but that is not something  I will be going into at anytime soon, i very rarely go out, so how do you think I ‘survive’? mostly, thankfully, I have the use of my lappy, this is my lifeline, this gives me the independence I do not have to a certain extent, I have people around me, but I am the type who does not like to keep asking for help and all that goes with it, so take shopping for instance, I do it online, it is delivered, and I don’t just mean food shopping, anything I want I get online. I am probably saving so much of the environment , because I do not have a car anymore, hence I do not use all the resources that go hand in hand with it, plus other stuff that reduces my carbon foot print, but this is not about that, good grief, gone off subject, because I needed to explain the stuff that gets me to where we are heading on my theory on ‘rubbish/junk’. but you understand what I have been saying up to now, yes?

So look at the picture above, with this theory, what do you see? If you do not know, here it is, a picture of our world, and our unused space stuff surrounding it? that is ‘space junk’, it is what we have taken from our  world, and put into space!  Look closely, the mess close to the planet is lower orbit, the rest further away, is higher orbit, looks like we are sitting in a metal bowl, does  it not?

Satellites, space exploration, rockets, its all our doing, us as human beings, putting our stuff in orbit around our world, to mainly make what we use, well, able to use. Who has a mobile? Look at that picture and your satellite is there enabling it to work, TV? Yes look at the picture, you get my drift?  A lot of it is in use no more, it is just there, even nuts and bolts that have come lose, you name it, its there. And the rest that is in use, has to navigate round it, to stop accidents.

This space junk, the ones not in use, is causing problems, like you would not believe,  it is shooting round our earth at 18,000 mph, something like that, if it hits something, well, can you imagine what would happen. 

At this moment in time, we have people working for a solution, there has to be a solution, or we are in big trouble, not only can we not take care of our junk ON earth, we also litter up the space around us! How stupid are we? Well me and you as mere mortals, not stupid, but the ones that built this stuff and shoot them into orbit, without thinking of the consequences, taking earth resources to put into orbit, great thinking, and leaving it there without a thought, lovely, what is the saying? If you cant see it, don’t worry about it? Probably got that wrong, but you know what I mean here.

So this is what I think, and would this theory work?

The powers that be who are working on this problem, have to find a way to bring this ‘space junk’ back down to earth, literally, I mean it. So bring it back down and then what? Well for one, it would probably pay itself, for the time, trouble and the amount of money it cost, to make it possible to bring it back down. Two, recycle everything! I mean, that can be done, but not just recycle it, put the excess back into the earth where it come from, surely we must have taken enough out by now to cover what we will actually use, if we re-cycle it properly, have we not? How much ‘space junk’ would you say is up there? I would say, way too much for us to re-cycle, so put it back, if we put it back, to fill them voids, then we cut down on the pollution, as we do not need to bring more out, do we?  Some people will probably lose their jobs, but not all, because we would need them to put the stuff back, and the end result is we have done something useful for once, well  in a long time. 

But thinking off it, why do we not put the stuff that is going into landfills into these holes that we have made, by bringing this stuff out? Would that not be better? Not so many people losing jobs now is there. So collecting all this rubbish/junk not only from here, but in space can be put to good use. 

If we do not, fill these massive holes/voids that we have left behind by taking all these resources out, what happens?  Does it eventually collapse? I hope I am not sitting on top of one of these, that’s all I can say. 

So a wanted ad, for the person with the brightest idea on how to collect the space junk, would look like something like this …..

REFUSE TECHNICIAN/SCRAP METAL MERCHANT  WANTED.

Applicant must forward the specs and costing, for the collection of scrap metal from lower and higher orbit of earth. No qualifications required, must have common sense, and the knowledge to operate heavy moving machinery. 

Man made structures already waiting for the relocation of the collections ... world wide project, with a view to repeat process every 10/15 years after completion, or when necessary, to the successful applicant. Salary neg.

Please send your CV’s to me, i will pass them on, maybe, as I am thinking of my own ideas,  and may nick yours!

Later, Tatty xx

Ice age... (not the film)

Ice age …..

… big bang? Is what scientists are talking about, ‘global warming’, say it however you will, some say its the same thing, others disagree. Some refuse to acknowledge it even exists. Which one do you come under?

Now I keep on telling you, that I am not involved in the ‘ology’ world, where these people study for absolutely years, and then tell us what is happening in and to the world around us. 

But, there is no doubt in my mind, that we have seriously damaged our planet, because of the way we abuse it, taking out natural resources, burning to much energy, you know what I mean, I do not have to spell it out for you. And there is no doubt in my mind that weather, climate and nature is turning on us, there are things going on in countries that have never been heard of before. The ice caps melting, collapsing, one ice shelf did yesterday (6th April 2009). I have seen actually it spelled out in layman’s terms, so that Joe bloggs can understand what this will lead to.

Some say a global heat that will lead to all sorts of horrendous things associated with the suns rays being able to penetrate through to our planet surface, because of the ozone layer depleting, now that’s not nice. None of us would survive I do not think. 

Some say the earths 'magnetic field' is gradually changing direction, now that will bring so much trouble to all of us, including the poor little birds, they would find it a hard time to fly. The whales and others like it, use an inbuilt compass to get around there feeding grounds. I do not have the time to make the list, it would take too long and would be a long one, I can tell you, take my word for it, there has been tests to prove this. Also I do not want to give you nightmares thinking of the poor little animals.

You have probably heard about the above already, hence why we are recycling, and cutting down our carbon footprint, well I know I am, and I hope you are, we ALL need to do it! If some do and others don’t, who is defeating who? And what?

This leads me to this, and my theory, and the coming ‘Ice age’, now this one if true, will wipe out quite a large part of civilisation as we know it, and what we now have come to know and use in everyday life, the same as what happened millions of years ago, well not the same, if we are to believe the scientists, that say pre-historic was wiped out, it was not a civilised place to be, they did not have electricity, computers, space shuttles,  cars, airplanes, name it, not there then. They knew nothing like we know now. Or did they?

Obviously some of humanity survived,  or how else would we be here now, (do not go and read back to what I said before, this is this theory now). But humanity did, just! And we are told that ice age happened because of a massive meteor colliding with earth. Or was it?

Theory ... What if, they did know and actually have what we have now, technology wise, if not more? Who can definitely say, categorically, that is not so. What if  the planet was used as we are using it now? What if we have this technology knowledge, because deep down inside, there is a slither of memory that helped us get there again? Something must be embedded in us for it to emerge, this technology, who is to say it is not these memories. Maybe all them millions of years ago they did exactly what we are doing now, that brought about the ice age, trying to solve the problem, but too late. And then hoping against hope that the new world would grow from scratch, but would have learned somehow, not to make the same mistakes we have now.

The massive meteor has gone to the wayside then, maybe that did not happen, as I said above, WE did it to ourselves then, as we are now. Who can say otherwise, with certain proof?

But I suppose you are wondering why then, did it take until the last century or so, to gain this knowledge back, and implement, easy, everything was destroyed, nothing left as evidence, now if it was destroyed by us or by fate of what happened, who knows, I think it was us that destroyed all knowledge, in the hope we do not go down the same road. That leaves the fact that some memory in us slowly came to the fore.

But, what do I know? I do not have an ’ology’ in science or anything like it, I do have however, a ‘faff-ology’ certificate, for those of you who do not know what ‘faffing’ is, its this, for one whole day at least, whole day being 24 hour period, you must not do anything at all! The only thing you are allowed to do is, go to the bathroom, (to use toilet, nothing else), eat, drink, watch TV or listen to the radio/music, read, use pooter,  that’s it, if you can get someone else to get you food and drink even better, I doubt anyone would help in the bathroom department, depends how close you are to the people/person you are living with I suppose. 

Anyhoo, I have done this, faffing for a whole day, and so have others I know, some we have helped, by being on the end of the computer, talking them through it, and steering them in the right direction, so that they do not fall to the wayside, and actually do something, like shower!! and then I hand the ‘faff-ology’ certificate to them, or email which ever is the easiest, cos at the end of the day, I ‘faff’ even when I am not doing it for a whole day, for the certificate. As long as I know that I am not having visitors, I do not want to be explaining what I am doing in my pj’s at ‘stooped o' time’.

I do not have all the answers, just as all the ‘ologists’ do not have them either, this is my theory, I do not profess to know it all.  in fact, if you read deep enough into the ‘faff-olgy’ paragraphs you probably know, I do not know much, which is why my theories are just mine, and I have not had a ‘paper’ brought out on this, who would listen to little me?  Especially men, they seem to have ‘selective’ hearing when it comes to listening to a woman.... 

... Ahhh but that is for another time peeps.

Related much?

In the ‘Teeth & ancestors’, where I totally blew my own theory away, it actually made me think about how close our ancestors are, I mean not to just our own line of ancestors, but how close MY ancestors are to YOURS!

See we are brought up in the belief that we cannot marry a relative, well, a close relative, but even a cousin 2nd removed or something in that direction, would be too close for comfort in my eyes, so I don’t even want to go there. 

Bearing that in mind we can all go and trace our ancestral line, might cost us some, to do so, but we can do it, but why on earth we should have to pay to find out our own ancestors, when it is public knowledge anyway, it is wrong. All the information is computerized these days, it is on any site related to what you are looking for, also we do the digging around ourselves, until we get to a certain point then all of a sudden, helloo! You have to pay to actually find out if that person IS an actual relative, you have to pay for the birth and death certificates if you want them, the list is endless. If these are on file and we were able to actually either download them to our own computer or print if off straight from the site, why do we have to pay for someone else to do this for us? Also what does it cost to actually print it off? Take into account the paper, ink, electric, 20/30 pence?  Something like that. Also the envelope and postage another 50 pence? So really top wack £1, right? So why do these people charge ‘stupid amount‘, to do this for us, why can we not do it for ourselves? that’s what I want to know.

I tried trace and to get information on my ancestors, I even got as far as my grandparents, then could go no further, even though it advertised that it was a free site, also a well known site I may add, that I had to pay ’ex amount’ to get certain information, so it all came to a halt,  I refuse to pay these people money for what is essentially MY property in the first place. Well it is my family.

Well well, gone off track again, there’s a surprise! I was saying,  we can trace back as far as possible, we will come a stop eventually as the records probably will only go so far back, well actually they do, so it comes to a stop, records only came about at a certain time,  but that does not mean that we did not have ancestors further back than we can see on paper, in our family tree, oh nooo, think about it!

It is said that we all come from the same ‘gene pool’, now I do not know how to take that, as there are different explanations for this, but this is how I see it with my theory, this gene pool has our genetic makeup, ALL of us, right? Even if a thousand ‘people’ emerged from this pool, they all have the same genetic make up, right?  Because it is said this is the beginning of life! And does not matter how many times the population doubled then trebled, and so on, divided, even continents on this earth changing, the ice age, the whole thing of how us human beings came to be as we are now, it does not change the matter that we are related, every single one of us, well? Does not matter how distant the relationship, we are related, if I have got this right.

You are my brother/sister/cousin/ blah blah, you, reading this, my theory on us, as a human being, are related to me.

now this takes me right back to the beginning what I was saying, of what I said about marriage, the thought as I said, I don’t want to even think about, *shudder* so now you know. I think now, I feel like washing my brain In hot soapy water, to clean all this info out, see how you feel When you go home tonight, look at the people you live with, I do not know your circumstances, you could have just been married for all I know, will you look at that person in the same light now? If you live in a house in a large family, will that look the same now? Will you be trying to guess who is where in the scheme of things? I doubt it, because after all this is just my theory. You may fleetingly let it run through your mind, but then it will have ran soo fast, you will not remember it for the dust it leaves behind.

Also, it could be that, because the first lot of people went their separate ways eventually, ended up on different continents, picked up things along the way,  that we ate or drank, breathed in, climate etc, all these things need to be considered here, that affected us on a genetic level, that changed us, because some of us go through life without anything major happening health wise, others do not, some people have diseases passed down by generation, so our genetic make up must have changed, right?

But, if some part of what I said about being related is true, just think,   no matter where in the world you are, you are related to me, now don’t that just fill you with joy? I can promise you that at family gatherings I am funny, full of laughter, ask my step-mother, she said that once you have met me, you do not forget me in a hurry, now I did not know if to take that as a compliment, or an insult, she assured me as a compliment, so you are missing out my lovely cyber cousin/aunt/uncle/sister/brother!

As for my theory here? Who knows, somewhere on it, I may be right.

Teeth & Ancestors.

Tatty’s theories.

Now I am not a geneticist, but I have been thinking lately, about how these things work, I think as we mature, we do question ourselves, or maybe its just me, looking into stuff too much, and coming up with my own theories that are completely dumb, it has been known to happen that I am soo far off the mark, its verging on the ridicules, but not often!

So this is my theory on teeth.

Now we all know that we are born with none, and usually start cutting teeth about  6 months upwards, varies form baby to baby, don’t know how old I was, but my son was 1year 1 day old, now this is considered quiet late, but then I was told they would be healthier.

Now, I have always looked after my teeth, and so has my son, so this is why I have begun to think about how we have the teeth we have, even though we look after them properly.

Now there are categories here, those who do not look after their teeth whatsoever, and they are perfectly healthy at the beginning and end up, well as things no one really wants to see, not when we talking to the person anyway. 

But then we have those whose teeth are well looked after right from when they are cut, then replaced with adult teeth. Right from the first peep of them, our mum’s taught us how to use a toothbrush, I know I did with my son, from an early age it gets to be integrated into the daily routine of cleanliness. 

So why is it that even when looked after properly, they still go the wrong way, they disfigure, yellow looking, do not form properly, overlap, it’s  just that they do not conform to what they should be, even though they have been looked after, through no fault of the person’s hygiene they are just really yucky. So then we pay dentists hundreds, thousands of pounds to have them put right, because there is only so much you can have done while we are growing up.

But now, here is my theory, do you think that the longer your line of ancestors the worst your teeth are? Now we all know that as things age they degenerate, and rot. Why not teeth in this long line of family before us? Right from our great-great-great and so on, grandparents our teeth are slowly getting weaker? Gene’s are blamed for a long line of all sorts of things that are passed down from generation to generation, why not degenerating teeth?  I bet hundreds of years ago, our ancestors had such perfect teeth, there was no need for dentists, because they were strong, white and healthy.  They looked after their teeth purely because of bad breath, not because they looked mankey and horrible.  Lets face it, no one likes talking to someone with bad breath, or funny coloured looking tongues, because it has yesterdays food and drink stuck deep inside the little nodules of it,  now do you?  Lets say that as generations have come along, the teeth has NOT come along with us, they have slowly gone down hill, and this is why some people, no matter what they do from an early age, still need to have them fixed in some way. Through no fault of our own, this is passed down to us, and we end up paying the bill. 

So those who have perfect teeth, have less ancestors, hence no teeth problems, they are perfectly in proportion, white teeth, because their line does not go back generations, going back hundreds of years. 

Do you see what I am getting at? So really what each generation needs to do, is have a ‘pot’ where we put so much money into it, and that gets passed down, to the future family that will have teeth problems, that we know will happen, really we are contributing to their dental health care, or lack of it, and why should we not take the responsibility of at least paying towards what will become our failure? The failure to produce perfect teeth, that will ultimately have to be paid for, if we want nice teeth. And lets face it, as time goes on, dental health care will become more expensive, then we have a vicious circle, because, if we cannot afford to go to the dentist, then we will be passing that down as well, wont we?  If we cannot afford to put right what is wrong, then what?

Well for one thing, if we cannot afford the dentist bills, either we end up with less dentists, because only the better off people can pay for the treatment, or they will have to bring their prices down, so that people can afford them. The former will create a hole in the job sector, so will these potential dentists just be unemployed? The latter will create employment, not only for new dentists but the dental nurses as well.. 

But now I have gone off my theory, not only wandered off it, but just blown my theory out of the water, now that I have started to put it to paper, so to speak, because we all have ancestors, generations before us, going back hundreds and thousand of years, otherwise, how did we all get here? 

But that is another theory for me to think about, isn’t it?
