so i always have this stuff just sort of rattling around in my head. the problem is some of these things slip out my mouth before i have a chance to filter them. this can at times be pretty embarrassing. and not only for me. my family is sensitive to the fact that i unintentionally kinda, sorta, maybe share things about them that they would rather i didn't. there are occasions that i don't think about that until it's too late. many occasions. i am thankful that they are a forgiving bunch and still allow me to reside in the house. i am just not allowed to talk in their presence if we are in public. i don't always follow that rule. it's a harsh one.

so now that i have established that i have an inactive filter and somethines blurt things out...let me tell you what happened!
