How about that Brexit??

Come on, it IS kinda funny... My husband is European so he's all into soccer..... and super interested in the Brexit. I have to be as well, because it affects my workday now.
Markets are plunging, people are freaking out. Britainia is leaving the European Union...
WTF DOES THAT MEAN??
In my line of work people are concerned because There will be a period of uncertainty over what will happen when Britain leaves the EU because it has to make new trade agreements with the rest of the world.  Also, the worry that worry that foreign companies will be less likely to invest in Britain and could relocate their headquarters if Britain loses access to the EU's single market. 

An interesting side note: Now Britain has voted to leave the EU, it will no longer have to contribute billions of pounds a year towards the European Union's budget

I like this outlook on it:Eurosceptics say Brexit will allow Britain to take back control of its borders in order to curb immigration and increase security. Britain will no longer have to accept ‘free movement of people’ from Europe, which Brexiteers say puts pressure on public services such as the NHS and schools.
Brexit campaigners have said Britain will be free to impose an ‘Australian-style points system’ to better manage immigration and fill skill shortages here. **Let me tell you- I wanted to go work in Australia. they have strict requirements and background checks they do before you can get a work VISA. They have to almost guarantee you plan on working hard and being a viable member of society before they allow you to set foot on their soil. WHY ISN'T EVERY COUNTRY LIKE THIS??

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea...

Gender Reveal

I had told my husband- after being invited to many of them and seeing more than 'a few' on social media - that I didn't want to have a gender reveal. To me, it's stupid. Being invited to one, I'm like "Do we bring a gift?" or "How does this work?" I think that after being pregnant, I have a better grasp on them and a more solid opinion of them. For my first child, we decided to hold off on a few things. We didn't do the 14 week blood test that would 100% tell us the gender, because it would also tell us a slew of other genetic information (such as if it had Downs or other diseases) that we decided was inconsequential. We didn't find out together during the ultrasound at 20 weeks what baby was, we took home an envelope. We didn't even open that envelope together. My husband actually ran inside the house, opened it, and had it tucked away before I got inside. He HAD TO know, I didn't. I was happy with having a healthy baby growing...

Clothing lines promoting discord in the masses

I'm online shopping right now, and I know that it's a normal thing to see a few outrageous designs or fashion choices. But today, all of a sudden, I realize one of my favorite stores is subliminally messaging me through fashion, through clothing. Clothing- which is a necessity to humans, that necessity- has now become the platform for political statements. I can't help but roll my eyes and say "Nope, would never buy that" or "who buys this stupid shit?" or "REALLY?". Like, why are clothing stores making a political agenda into "fashion"? The stuff isn't even that fashionable, but then again some dimwit (Connie Briton) at some "Hollywood Night Out" event wore a 'Poverty is Sexist' sweater that cost $380... totally nailed her point. The sad part is, some of this politically charged 'fashion' is very divisive. It's lifting up one to put down another. Let me show you some of the dumb shit. I choose t...
