“Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.” Alan Watts

I am sorry.

Three things have happened recently that has caused me to pause and reflect. One a dear friend reminded me how precious love is and how we sometimes take our time with someone for granted. Thank you dear friend. Lesson learned.

Second a dear lady emailed me and explained that my recent batch of gifs. were offensive and had to quit my blog. Once again, I am sorry dear lady.

Third I had to learn how to block someone who joined my blog and had a terribly offensive icon. If you read this, you are blocked. I don't want you here.

I posted the recent pics in jest and meant no harm. However, it is obvious that they offended some and invited others I don't wish to know. I will leave the pictures of women to others in the future. Expressing my Two Cents Worth is more important to me than viewership numbers. I am sorry and apologize to anyone who was offended or felt uncomfortable. I would be a poor host if I didn't care about my guests comfort. All my guests.

I do address adult issues on occasion. However, adult issues can be discussed without vulgarity.

The posts that offended have been removed. This is not censorship, this is common courtesy. I care about my lady readers and them feeling comfortable here is important to me. 

I am going to start spending more time with my lovely wife. I will post occasionally but no where near as often as in the past. Every second I can spend with my wife is precious and I will not ever forget that again. I thank you for your support and your friendship.

later,

the rat

  2. I am so touched that you speak of your lovely wife in this manner. She is a lucky lady indeed. I missed the brouhaha about pictures, and I hope you and your Mrs. post again soon. Perhaps you can post together like Jambaloney and Kymber do. I too value truth in a post, even when it's anger.

    Love and kind regards,

  4. Mr. Rat - i am touched that you would consider a lady reader's offense...i didn't find most of your pictures offensive but i will admit to thinking a few times that i was going to get The Rat's latest thoughts and only got pics of half-naked women! your thoughts are much more valuable to me. and post when you can - and spend as much time with your lovely wife as possible! (oh and thank goodness for jambaloney - i haven't been in a posting mood for several weeks and he has been picking up the slack. would Mrs. Rat like to blog sometimes too??? that might be fun!)

    your friend,
    kymber

    1. Mr. Rat - i am very proud to see my good friend Rick commenting here...he does not comment often. the fact that he left a comment on this post speaks volumes...you should feel honoured and i know that you will! Rick is as amazing as you are...but, like you, he always tries to deflect his amazingness. i am glad to see him here supporting you.

  6. Your commentary is more interesting than the visuals. We get too many visuals in our country as it stands.

  7. My friends, thank you for visiting. I appreciate your comments. This blog has been a reflection of my inner battles since the beginning and I think it has been a good thing. I hope in some very small way I have helped others. Life is hard. I can't swim out to get you but I can encourage you from shore. the rat

  8. Dear Rat,
    What you say usually has meaning for me, and especially today. Your kind and loving side is nice to see. This and the other aspects of YOU are why I keep coming back to read your thoughts. Even I enjoy the beauty of a young woman, which I don't find offensive. If I'm not in the mood to see photos, I can scroll past. That's part of the fun of being an old broad!

    1. I don't need to tell you that tough skin takes a long time to develop. I am trying to be sensitive to those who don't have one yet. Besides, I just did it as an experiment. My Mrs. is all I need. My hormones don't rage anymore. I am a full grown man. thanks for commenting! the rat
