I just received this in an "anonymous" email so I thought I'd share it...

The Twelve Steps of Bloggers Anonymous (BA)

   1. Admit you are powerless over blogging — and that your blogging has become unmanageable.
      
   2. Come to the belief that a Power greater than blogging could restore you to sanity.
      
   3. Make a decision to turn your will and your life over to the care of the Supreme Blog Master. 
      
   4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of your blog posts.
      
   5. Admit to the Supreme Blog Master, to yourself and to other bloggers the exact nature of your blogs.
      
   6. Be entirely ready to have the Supreme Blog Master remove your avatar from your blogs.
      
   7. Humbly ask the Supreme Blog Master to remove your profile so you can create three new ones. 
      
   8. Make a list of all bloggers you have pissed off and be willing to make amends to them all by posting really nice things on their blogs even if it makes you seem like a Wuss. 
      
   9. Made direct amends to those bloggers whenever possible, except when to do so would just piss off ten others even more. 
      
  10. Continue to take personal inventory and promptly admit that even if you suck as a blogger you’re actually a really good person.
      
  11. Seek to improve your conscious contact with the Supreme Blog Master, asking for knowledge of the terms of service.
      
  12. Having had a spiritual blog-wakening as the result of these steps, share this message and practic these principles in all your blogs.

I'll take the kitty!!!!

I really enjoyed countygirls blog about the things we miss. But for some strange reason, it got me thinking about the things I wish had never happened. 
I have a tendency to speak before I think sometimes, which can be troublesome and embarrassing! Combine that trait with my  own special  brand of  not-so-gazelle-like gracefulness and I tend to have lots of embarrassing moments I wish I could just erase like a bad word on your Sunday School homework.   
Like the time I jumped a fence at a concert to pee in the trees...I slipped in some NASTY mud, fell downhill for several yards before a security guard caught me in his flashlight with my pants at half-mast.  My friends (still) refer to this as the "Too much beer and the dirty little deer in the headlights tour." The concert was UB40, for what it's worth. I'm sure this is all TMI, but now, it's your turn... 
 

I just saw this posting and I have to seriously question the effectiveness of such a program...

Alliance Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault will host an educational seminar in partnership with CUT IT OUT, a national program designed to instuct salon professionals how to recognize warning signs of domestic abuse and safely refer clients to local resources. The free session will take place Sunday, Oct. 14, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Junior League of Bakersfield Community Center, located at 1928 19th St.

But seriously, is this really a good idea? I realize that a "salon professional" has to have some degree of maturity and discretion (especially in a small town!), but...
I've heard a lot of loose lips making cutting remarks and some very clipped and calculated comments when I go in for my Brazilian waxing! Let's face it, some well polished rumor and stylish innuendo can be easily teased out of any good salon visit. And if you're regularly getting your hair and nails done, how violent can your domestic life really be, honey? And what if your tress-trusted salon professional is wrong? If you're a regular paying client, do you think they will risk losing the income — or try to sell you some really good concealer and big designer glasses?
Meoooowww!             & nbsp;
