Monday Mantra

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to."

Alfred A Montapert

Just for fun

Really havent been inspired to blog about much lately. The buns are always inspiring of course. Here are just some fun things about me that might make you giggle or make you wonder if I should be on meds.

I once dropped my mother off at a store and forget where I left her, for about 2 hours. To say she was ticked off is an understatement.

I have tasted all the bunnies meds and food at one time or another. I also ate a dog biscuit once. It was disgusting.

I once ate a whole box of sugar free chocolate at one sitting. I lost 5lbs that day. Seriously, can you guess how? I wasnt trying to do it.

I have a tattoo of a kokopelli on my lower back.

I read all the time. I can never ever be without a book in progress. I read mostly crap with an occasional "good" book thrown in. I hate autobiographies though. Dont know why.

I love old movies. The men were fabulous. So suave and sexy but you ever noticed their kissing techniques left a lot to be desired?

I once fell asleep on a toilet in a bar. I snoozed for about 20 minutes.

I am a concert junkie. I get a huge adrenaline rush from them.

I turned 40 a few weeks ago. I dont like to talk about it. I am going to start lying about my age.

I admire people who jog but will never do it myelf. I am only running if a guy is really big and has a weapon. Otherwise running is out of the question. We will have to throw down first.

I love castles.

My favorite thing to do used to be taking trips alone. I would pick some place I had never been and take off. My first alone trip I was 22 and went to Montana. I spent 4 days wandering around that gorgeous state. It was an experience I will never forget. There was construction on the hotel where I was staying. When I came in for the night a pair of my underwear was missing. Somewhere in Montana a big burly man is wearing my panties.

I love to cook and I am damn good at it if I do say so myself.

I once had entirely too much to drink at a friends party. I stood on a lawn chair and made up what I thought was a lovely dance to a rap song ( I dont like rap) then fell into their dog pool. I dont consume that much alcohol anymore.

I love bunnies. A LOT. ( The picture above is a cottontail by the way)

Grandma got on to me!

Typical Mojo behavior for spring and fall: Chasing and mounting Tango and Dudley. Their Grandma gets very upset by this and lectures Mojo on her activities. Mojo pouts, Grandma feels bad and retrieves a cookie, thus rewarding bad behavior. Oh Yeah, these buns know how to work her. Not me though, I am made of steel.......... off to buy more cookies.

Monday Mantra

Dont buy Easter Bunnies (or little ducks and chicks)

Dont buy live toys for kids Easter baskets

Dont patronize stores that sell bunnies and chicks and ducks at Easter

Tell the managers you wont shop there, write a letter and let them know

Stop this outdated practice......The animals almost always come to bad ends.

Just look at Dudley's scary face if you need to ask why.

It's About Time

It's about time these beautiful and brave women received their recognition. If you don't know who the WASPS were, they served the Air Force during World War II. Their service has never really been acknowledged and celebrated like it should. They are finally receiving their Congressional Medals after all these years and after so many of them have gone to the Summer lands. Congratulations ladies and Thank You from the bottom of my heart for your service!

Monday Mantra

Honor the sacred.

Honor the Earth, our Mother.

Honor the Elders.

Honor all with whom we share the Earth:

-Four-leggeds, two-leggeds, winged ones,

Swimmers, crawlers,

plant and rock people.

Walk in balance and beauty.

I cant believe you said that!

Someone asked me why I named my blog Rabid Tidbits (as opposed to Rabbit Tidbits). Well, its because years ago a friend of mine looked at me and said "I cant believe you just said that, you just spew out rabid tidbits." I used to (mostly used to) have a really bad habit of saying whatever came to mind and I loved shocking people, lets face it, I still do.

Now I don't go around hurting people's feelings and I have mellowed out a bit over the years. Granted, I don't tolerate stupid things being said about my loved ones, especially my bunnies or my brother who is handicapped (or pc: disabled, sight challenged, whatever). If you take a poke at me, okay but DO NOT MESS WITH MY FAMILY. EVER. Reminds of the time this idiot guy told me he was going to steal one of my bunnies and make stew. I casually said "only if you can outrun a bullet, asshole". Maybe not the best response. I really have no sense of humor there. None.

I work with a crazy woman. She gives no thought to saying exactly what is on her mind. She is funny and street smart and a total train wreck. She makes me laugh my butt off. Her husband has his hands full.

We have a very shy courier that brings in our shipments from the airport. He is timid and sweet with scraggly hair and a beard. Very polite and we scare the hell out of him. We joke around with him a lot and he takes it with good humor and a smile. Last night he had on lipstick and eye shadow. He was dressed in his uniform and looked completely like his usual self except for the makeup. I attempted to look everywhere but right at him. I took our specimens from him, I tried looking at the top of his head. Please forgive the language below.

My coworker said in a very loud voice. "Are you wearing fucking makeup?"

Sigh,

Way to go Tori. I cant believe you freaking said that.
