Even though I've got quite a large bull sh** detector I still get hit over the head with that red flag from time to time.

Unfortunately, I'm in the same league as you--the foolie. The bad part is that I never learn, either. Just like you, I always take people's words at face value because that's the way I am. <BR/><BR/>I still believe in Santa Clause and all of that Disney Make-Believe World. I'm always in a dream world, I'm afraid. <BR/><BR/>Tasha<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for a great post.tashabudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-91376119432676590082008-11-19T22:16:00.000+11:002008-11-19T22:16:00.000+11:00my mum used to tell me if I ate the pips of watermelon one would grow in my tummy...

Hehe. That is cute. I kept wondering, "Why would this upset her?" Love it, not that it upset you, mind you. This was an adorable post.<BR/><BR/>But sadly, I can relate just a little too well. Go ahead, ask Greg if I'm gullible. I'm so darn gullible that Greg said, "The word gullible isn't in the dictionary" and I said, "It isn't?" Yeah, I feel for that for a second. <BR/><BR/>I believe in people. I trust people and Lord knows, that trust has been used and abused, but you live and learn. <BR/><BR/>It's a nicer life to believe in the good. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Sticking to it like a bear to a person's head.

Older kids are sooo mean.<BR/><BR/>Shortly after I met my Australian wife we got talking about aspects of Scottish culture. I told her that Scottish people have a porridge drawer where pre-made porridge is poured in and cooled and that it is then cut up into squares ready to be served. She has never forgiven me for that one. When we went to Scotland she asked my brother where his porridge drawer was? <BR/><BR/>Talk about a violation of trust.Colin Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14991363859883869289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-54511001747773757202008-11-18T06:22:00.000+11:002008-11-18T06:22:00.000+11:00I'm incredibly gulliable.

OH I was the absolute worst as a kid but still carry some of my sucker-ish traits through my adulthood. <BR/>perhaps the worst is that I once believe that the people who were killed in movies {westerns come to mind} were people who were on deathrow. yeah. i'm not even kidding.<BR/>I guess it's not so horrible trusting in people.

Thank you so much for your comments today. You're so right about the effects these tragedies have on folks. I don't know why the media has seemed to drop us. Sometimes there's a little snippet on the Houston news. No, I don't think it's moving along very fast, but I really don't know. I hear people all the time talking about how their insurance won't pay for this and how the poor ones who are relying on FEMA are so upset. That's why I bury my head so much of the time and try to block it out, I don't know if that's a good thing or not. But I am so thankful we were spared.<BR/>Lilly, I always appreciate so much you taking the time to come and visit me.<BR/>Have a beautiful week and<BR/>Be a sweetie,<BR/>Shelia ;)Sheliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01873141703727416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-1092602576251084372008-11-17T22:54:00.000+11:002008-11-17T22:54:00.000+11:00@ Susie - yes, I think we may need it at this rate.
