I always keep my promises. They are our word, and our word is all we have.
Sometimes real life does (and should) get in the way though, which means promises can't always follow a deadline. Even if you wish they could.
Nevermind the past several months being hectic,the last week and a half alone has seen me with a serious case of food poisoning, my dog was ill and needed all night nursing until he had to be put to sleep. My p.c mysteriously also died and I had to immediately rush out and get a new lap top, as I am swamped in to-ing and fro-ing legal work between myself and the lawyer via emails.
For all MY hard work I should be receiving a nice lawyer's fat pay cheque, not paying one.
I had to get a new rescue greyhoud for my mother who felt such a void in her life. It was very tragic, as he WAS the best dog in the world, even if he was a lil' bugga from time to time. As sad as the loss of Spike was/is to BOTH of us, she went around the place with a face like a smacked bottom, over- spilling eyes and quivering lip- as if I had died.
Given I had to put Spike to sleep, I am not altogether sure that the plate of Botulism I was served for dinner that night was NOT deliberate on her part. Funny, SHE wasn't ill.
My relationship takes up a lot of time. Perhaps, too much. *That will keep him on his toes, the spud! :)
And there's only so much of your Uber to go around. Much less these days, in fact.
I barely have time to dance.
But promises and people who matter are just as important too, and not, never, forgotten.
So, if I owe you a promise, have faith that,you are uppermost in my mind and I am working on it.
More exciting news is the upcoming, first annual Blogger's Blog Awards masterminded,no doubt, by James Higham, the former brains,hard work and vision behind the now redundant B.P. He's requesting that 4 other ethical bloggers( do we have that many in the sphere?) join him on a panel of judges for this new group/awards committee which is ' for the blogger , by the blogger'.
That'll be a nice change, eh Baht At?
*Well, I DID promise to be a better,bigger bitch.

Do the words Ethical and Blogger actually go together in the same sentence.
Sorry to hear about Spike
Geez, watch out Rod---she fed the dog.
Clyde- I am thinking that, that is as much an oxymoron as 'net friends' and 'cyber lovers'.Ty for the Spike condolences. As a true lover of animals, I know you can relate.The cancer op last spring bought him another year though, that we were thankful for.
Hi sweetie. Sorry to hear about Spike. It's sad. I don't know what I would do without my Kuge. He is such a good dog.
See...I knew that. When you are gone for days at a time I know you're shacked up with your man...and I think that's fab. :D
Laywers really fuck you over sometimes...well that one ex-boyfriend of mine is a lawyer. Good tims, babe...good time.
ciao babes.
And you're certainly achieving that, Uber. Keep up he good work.
Hi Uber,
This is really a tender post. It shows a side of you that is often under wraps. I like how you use your mother as a literary device - a background painting if you will.
You really convey a sense of pathos and humor that is warmly human.
You are right, promises are important. Words are deeds. So many people use them carelessly. I once heard the phrase, "Criminal promise," which means people make promises that they have no intention of fulfilling. I think it sums up what many people do.
I thoroughly enjoyed this post.
Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the inner Uber.
Btw, sorry about the loss of your dog.
*hangs head in silence* RIP, Spike. Travel safely across the rainbow bridge.
The dear old loony is getting all feisty about me commenting on his ramblings and has taken to vandalising my blog.
Oh hum more evidence of his rather turbulent nature methinks.

Obviously while I find it rather entertaining taking the piss out of mental cases (much like the victorians used to visit Bedlam for amusement so I visit crushed by ingsoc) I do have other things to do so I'll only be adding to it when he's particularly stupid.
I think I could fit this into my busy schedule... I am surprised he has not yet approached me. Probably an oversight....
you should never not have time to dance! that is outrageous!
Im sorry things have been so gruesome. things always tend to get a whole lot worse before they get better.
it must be the time of the year uber...i am feeling a bit out of sorts myself...almost like i am just going through the motions...yesterday for one short period of time...i found myself acting my age...which is extremely unusual...i wonder sometimes if i am the only person around who can deal with things rationally and make sense of the ordinary...eh who cares...i will be in training for 9weeks starting the 15th of this month, so fuck it!
Spiky- Lawyers are bastards. I came this close to being one!:)
My lawyers are bastards, but I don't mind when it's to the other side...then it's quite an attractive quality.
Lord- I aim to please!Sometimes, my aim is just off a bit, although I never 'shoot wide of the mark'.
Alexys- I am flattered that YOU think I have talent. * You did mean that, right?* :)
Cunning- Thanks, Tom ( Dooley) :)
Baht At- He is going to be out of his tree that you called him 'old'!
I find that amazing that he comes to my blog, emails me, shits all over everyones blog but one objects ,they are an asshole or a'stalker'.
P.S I didn't even get sex out of the deal...but then, again....maybe that's not so bad.
Mutts- LOL!
Ms. Pud- TY. Yes, one must always make time to dance. Daily dancing and music is vital.
Daisy- Your need for training is why I am number 1 in John's eyes. :)
C'mon- you knew I was going to say that! AS you sound down, I shall send him your way for ONE day wiht my blessing. NO sanctions.
Crushedebyingsoc lurker- I thought you said it was 'stalking' to go to blogs one is not welcome at?
Sorry about your dog. Pets become such a part of the family it's always hard when they die.
Uber,
Of course I did - and I'll say it again, you really DO have talent! :D
to be honest uber...i am in such a piss poor mood at the moment you would be best to keep john rapped in your lovely red locks...or the handcuffs with red feathers...
Bunny- The more I know people lately, the more I value dogs. TY and same to you, who I believe also lost your beloved dog recently.
