Should "Fatties" Get a Room? (Even on TV?)

Should "Fatties" Get a Room? (Even on TV?)

As I arrived to work this morning.. I am greeted by my co worker who is telling me about this article written by Maura Kelly for marieclaire.com so I went over to read it.

You can take a look and read it just follow this link-- but maybe that's not such a good idea.. we will just be giving them more hits on their website =b.. ugh and I really don't want to do that.. but in case u r interested..  http://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/dating-blog/overweight-couples-on-television

First let me tell you that I watch Mike and Molly and I have been doing so since the first Episode and I love it. I was excited to finally have a Show that has a Heart and shows feelings and can be relate able. The characters are great, and so down to earth and not fake and materialistic like other shows. I love Molly a School Teacher , played by the super adorable Melissa McCarthy (who played Sooky St James in Gilmore Girls and Dena in Samantha Who? ) and Mike one of Chicago's' Finest a Police officer who is played by Billy Gardell. I Love the characters and the Actors who portray them and to write something that undermines their work and their persons  is just so petty.

The show is about them finding each other and the struggles they endure some of them are in regards to their weight but mostly the show is about their blooming relationship and about the relationship they have with the people around them. I love the show because its a show that is Funny and has contents and its not a superficial show where every one is a size 1 and living in a penthouse or on the hills.

It's also more than a show about 2 people who are struggling with their over eating eating/weight. Its a show about Love and how two people who feel insecurities about themselves, finally take the leap of faith and put their fears to the side and take a chance on Love and on each other.  Something that we can all relate, because lets be honest we all have something that makes us insecure, that's what makes us human and I can empathise with others.

I am personally not offended by seeing two people who love each other kiss on TV or in public and I am not offended by seeing people who might not be what society thinks as perfect or beautiful show Public Displays of Affection. Love is Love and its a blessing to find it.

And I also understand that being overweight is not a good thing for health reasons. But no one has the right to criticize and make mean comments about other people and their appearance and say that they look disgusting.

However I am DISGUSTED by the Article written for marieclaire.com by Maura Kelly. I find that Article, the writer and specially marieclaire.com offensive for allowing this writer to write all that garbage.

I don't know about the rest of you, but to me by allowing this article to be posted on their website, it means that marieclaire.com supports this offensive view of overweight people.

To write about our opinions is one thing to blatantly state the following (straight quote from her article) is another.

"So anyway, yes, I think I'd be grossed out if I had to watch two characters with rolls and rolls of fat kissing each other ... because I'd be grossed out if I had to watch them doing anything. To be brutally honest, even in real life, I find it aesthetically displeasing to watch a very, very fat person simply walk across a room "—Should "Fatties" Get a Room? (Even on TV?) October 25, 2010 9:00 AM by Maura Kelly

You would think that this type of article would not have been written, specially in the wake of all the bulling that has been taking place and after a flood of all those Public Service announces calling for tolerance.

We need to remember that tolerance applies to every one who feels picked on for what ever reason be it that you are having issues with they way you look, your weight, sexual orientations, color or Race.
There was even one from President Obama calling for Tolerance and To Stop Bullying.. obviously this does not apply to certain people who think that because they look a certain way or have a certain job or position , they have the right to say offensive things and dictate what they think is beautiful, or acceptable in society.

If you are blessed to be in a position to get your voice across to the masses.. be responsible and let that VOICE be heard and used for goodness to uplift and help others , and not to criticize and beat someone down.

Pomegranates.. Yummmy

Lovely night this has turned out to be I am sipping on a fresh cup of Pomegranate Juice courtesy of my Lovely mother and our fresh pomegranate tree  YUM!!!

As I was looking at my pictures, I came upon 2 of the most cutest pictures that I ever took.  Maybe they are not the best quality but to me they are Precious. Meet my nephews of course they are not this small anymore =( they have grown quite a bit, but I still see them like this.

             






This is B she loves Roses and I was able to capture her smelling the White Rose we received from Church. She kept looking at it and smelling it.. something about roses.. mmm.. they are great.

















  And the smiley one is My Nephew D believe it or not I was Modifying his behavior. I was teaching him how to love brushing  his teeth.. he hated having someone brush his teeth. So I made him a Behavioral Mod. Plan and VOILA... he loves Brushing his teeth.. see the happy Smile.. it worked. 



If you have nephews and nieces or grand kids.. you can understand the Love that I  have for these little critters. even though they are not our biological babies we love them as if they were. I miss both of them and I can't wait for the weekend to arrive. Those are our Special days and we hang out,  that's the term they use after hearing me say it they are like sponges soaking up everything. 






I  try to have some fun with them but I also make sure to teach them something new. 
I am very proud to say that they both know how to use my Mac BookApple MacBook MC516LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop and are quite good at moving around in YOU Tube.

We are working on reading and writing , but this weekend we have a Children's Party to attend at our Church,  Jesus and candy 2 of our favorites :)

HELLO KITTY AND FRIENDS Haul..

HAPPY FRIDAY !!!!.. 
Hello my friends.. Since the Holidays are right around the corner and we all know that Gifts for the little ones are a must and we know how expensive that can be.

This year I am going to save some $$$$ I told my nephews that we can take a trip to Disneyland but we won't be buying a ton of gifts specially TOYS! they agreed and I was pleased to see how they took the time to analyze the offer and  they both said Disneyland.. and  NO toys.

But I know that when we are kids (an even as adults) we love to unwrap gifts. So I am looking for great bargains on gifts for my Nephew and Niece. well Nieces. (I have one and my boyfriend  has one too, so that means I have 2 Nieces)

Anyways I am a huge Hello Kitty Fan and now I have two little nieces that I will pass the Hello Kitty love to. I just found the cutest lunch boxes, I specially love it because it has all the characters and it cost $12.50.
 I will take a trip to target or look on-Line for small items to fill the box with. Like  little tissues, erasers, lip glosses anything that I can find at the doll arr store that says Hello Kitty. 

When I was about 7 or 8 my Aunt Vicky bought me this huge light blue Hello Kitty (SANRIO) Mystery  Bag and I remember how excited I was to receive that gift. It was filled with little things that I loved so much , so just like my aunt was able to surprise me with all that HKcuteness, I am hoping to do the same to B and D.

I also found a cute Laptop Sleeve to keep my precious MAC BOOK safe with the exact pattern..
so so cute.
These will make great Gifts for your Hello Kitty Lovers..
And Now I must Say ADIOUS!!
  I have to go now.. I just wanted to share my new special treats

PS... don't forget , keep Jesus in ur heart and a prayer in ur mind.. Blessings to all and May you have a GREAT day .

You dont have .. because you DON'T ask

 
"How beautiful are God's creations!"

 Hello every one .. I have been so busy that I have forgotten to tell you about our new 40 Day Ask Event that I am participating at my Church.

From Oct 17, 2010  for 40 days we will be Asking God for him to manifest his power in our lives.
When I received the Pamphlet  and read the Tittle.. "You don't have .. because you don't Ask'.. It hit home.. and I thought this is my chance.. God is telling me that it is okay to be specific and Ask him for something special .

Well I have and I am going to keep asking him for as long as it takes until he answers. I am going to be like that Annoying woman in the bible that keep harassing the judge to judge her cause. every morning she waits at the door for him to get out of his home and walk to work and through out his journey she is calling upon him to judge her cause.. mind you this man has no respect for God or for his fellow man and if he is willing top judge her cause so that she stops harassing him,.. I know that God will be more than willing to Answer my plea.


 I will leave you with this, when ever you feel like you are alone and the enemies are surrounding you and you feel like there is no one there to help.. Please call upon the Mighty name of Jesus and  ASK him to send his Angels to protect you. When you encounter a person who is doing you harm or harm to your loved one.. call upon the Lord and pray this

"Lord, have mercy on this person, for they don't know what they are  doing. They don't  know that they are hurting someone who belongs to You" 

Sunday 10/17/10-- Ask
Monday 10/18/10-- Ask
Tuesday 10/19/10-- Ask
Wednesday 10/20/10-- Ask
Thursday 10/21/10-- Ask  and Continue to ask.. until he answers

For theirs is the Kingdom..........Jesus Blesses Little Children

 Hello .. there I have been yet again MIA, I will try to recap my last couple of days in one post..i am feeling under the weather and a bit sad.. Like I mentioned before I was helping my brother raise his son, My little nephew and we had him for the last 3 years and we had gotten him used to a new routine, school and some family quality time. But after 3 years his mother wanted him back so we mistakenly ( actually we hoped that it would be a good thing for him , we all need our mothers) allowed  her to take him back, and now we are dealing with the consequences. The Little prince whose big brown eyes twinkle like  bright stars are  now are filled with tears and so much anxiety.  And I feels o much pain for him. I miss him so much , and I know he misses us even more. So I have not been in the mood to do anything .. life with out him around is just gray, my house feels empty and dinner is no longer exciting.

I have faith and i pray that his mother sees that he is not happy and that she loves him enough to let him move back in with us. All I can do is believe in Miracles and Pray to God for his protection and comfort to fill my nephew and helps him adjust , or allow him to come back home.

So as you can see i have been dealing with some major issues. I think that I feel for him even more because I experienced the same trauma that he is experiencing right now , and i remember how I felt at that time . Leaving  the home and the people who have taken care of you and loosing that security was horrible for me.. and I felt so alone.

Funny thing is that he is my nephew and he has taught me so much, I understand what it means to love someone unconditionally and just because. He does not have to do anything special to have my Love and Attention, all he has to be is himself.

If you read my post , all I ask from you is to keep my nephew in prayer and to love and care for your little ones.

Many blessing to you and I leave you with this passage from the bible which edifies me and keeps me going I know that God is a Loving God and he will take care of my nephew.

Jesus Blesses Little Children
13 And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 “Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” 16 And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them

Mind is Filled with so Many thought

Hello .. I am sorry for being far for quite some time  I have been dealing with issues in my life, and have not been able to sit down and write.  On a good note..I was able to get my hands on the MAC Venomous Villains collection , but I have been so preoccupied that they are still in their boxes and have not been looked at.

Anyways today I am going to Blog about life and expectations.. when we are born we expect our parents to be there to provide support for us and love us. Unfortunatly many children come to this world to parents who should never be allowed to procreate. I know that sounds harsh , but we live in a world that is filled with people that are selfish and are unable to think about any one else other than themselves.

I pray that God provides comfort and a solution for all these kids that grow in familes that are not supportive and loving and that they may find a ray of light soon.

May they be covered in his sthrenght and may they be overcomers and may love and comfort reach every one of them, I pray that in their heart Hope remains and that they maybe able to believe that life gets better.
