Tiger

I do not condone marital infidelity.
However, my dear husband made a comment today that got me to thinking.
Tiger is being destroyed by all the media and public's condemnation as well as losing mega-money endorsements.
But what happened in the case of our dear Mr. Clinton?
His 'activities' were swept under the rug.
Slapped on the wrist.
Wink. Wink. Wink.
This man continues to generate large amounts of income from appearances.
I cannot even come near an acceptance of this activity, but in reality, aren't we lashing out at infidelity at this sports figure because he is so vulnerable and accessible?
Yes, he makes an obscene amount of money, and, as it was mentioned, "Why can't these ridiculously rich young men keep their pants zipped?"
But what about our former President?
This leaves me so puzzled.
It is like the old 'notch on the bed post' mentality in reverse.
Tiger is an equal partner in this, but the women also deserve to be vilified.
Kathy Lee Gifford said it very nicely as she 'talked out of school' about the one young woman that had been interviewed earlier in the morning on the Today show. The mentality of these young women leave a great deal to be desired.
It is also the fault of the women that pursue such men. I have no sympathy for them. I should, but I can't. I ask for the Lord's help in forgiveness.
I do hope that all this media attention will go away. I am tired of hearing it 'ad nauseam'.
I am sorry if I step on toes and I hope I haven't bored you with this, I just need to vent.

Let us get back to stories about this beautiful season of the year.

Moderation

I apologize for not realizing that I had comments to moderate on. I haven't been on the computer much lately and I guess it shows. The comments have been read and posted.
Thank you so much for all your kind comments.
I tried stitching today and after finding an error after 15 stitches, I decided it might be best to stop and put it away for the day. I should have just turned on the football game for hubby instead of watching two Christmas movies. I am a sucker for Christmas movies and went on a 'Santa Clause' marathon last month. I stitch very well to football games, lol.
It is now after four in the morning on Monday, and I guess I should just go to bed. My nap must have been too long this afternoon. Trouble is, I needed that nap, however it seems to be redundant when I can't go to bed at bedtime. Right?
I will try to add more photos to my blog, as I do love stitching and I do a good job on the backs. Even son has made comment on that. Got a large 'vest button-popping' on that comment.
I am hoping to sign in in the near future, but in case I don't, I wish everyone out there a safe, safe driving season for the holidays. I would hate to lose any of you out there.
Have a marvelous holiday season, enjoy it with family and friends, and enjoy all those special meals with all those good, traditional recipes.
Huggs to all.
