★10 Days of Bullshit Challenge - Day 2★

★Rockin' Mama★  and a bunch of other fucking awesome bloggers are doing the 10 Days of Bullshit Challenge.  Day 2's topic is Your first experience with alcohol.

Check out the Days topics here and go link up.

My first experience with alcohol? I actually don’t remember that. Mum always had wine in the house and we were always offered a glass, well I don’t think we were offered, we just took, so I don’t really remember abusing alcohol until my late teens. However, I do remember my first experience with the Doobie Crunchies. Yeah, the good old marujana...


It think it was my sister’s 21st so I was probably 18 and all the usual headbangers and their bitches were invited. I arrived late for the party for some reason and my boyfriend and I made a bee line for the kitchen to pour our cheap plonk wine into presentable glasses to make us feel suitably grown up.


It was then that I noticed the freshly baked crunchies on a pretty plate on the kitchen counter. I fucking love crunchies! I have never been able to resist them.

I popped one in my mouth and we went to join the others. After girating my body for a bit and almost dislocating my neck to Slayer, I went back to the kitchen to get a wine refill. Its thirsty work, headbanging and avoiding the mosh pit.

I then spotted the plate of crunchies that was freshly filled up. I popped another one in my mouth and put another one in my pocket. Soon, I was going back quite regularly to the kitchen, not to refill my wine glass, but to munch down on the yummy crunchies.

About an hour later, I was puzzled as to how I could be THIS pissed on two glasses of wine?! While I was pondering that, I got the giggles. I then go the munchies. Then I got the giggles again. Vicious circle! I don’t remember much after giggling and munching like a maniac but apartently I had a really great time, dancing the night away.

My sister only told me years later that the crunches were “green loaded” and contained quite a lot of weed. No wonder I had such a bad hangover the next day.

Day 20 - The 30 Day Blog Challenge and Freaky Fuck You Friday

Topic - The meaning behind your blog name




My Button


This one is pretty self-explanatory....  I'm definitely daft, some say demented and nutty.  I'm originally from Scotland and I'm a gurl so I'm A Daft Scots Lass.  The awesome louboutins aka pretty high heels in the header of my blog are used because of my love for high heeled shoes....



Some of you will remember that originally, my blog was called A Peek Into Our Lives but I changed the name early this year, when I gave my wee bloggy a bit of a "face lift".  I much prefer the new name and the way Daft Scots Lass is heading.  She doesn't censor herself at all -  its more suiting to who I am and what the blog is all about.


What is my blog all about?  


Me, of course, my thoughts, my opinionated rambling, my family, my children, my work, my life as a wife and a very busy working mum with a hectic social calendar.  It may be pretty boring for some, but blogging is a kind of therapy for me.  It is like talking to a friend and getting something "off your chest".  I know it sounds kinda cliché, but that is why I blog.  


I love reading other blogs - in fact I have a readers list of nearly 250 blogs now.  I try and read most of them but its simply impossible to read 250 blogs that generally post every day!  I read when I can, I comment when I can and especially now that our internet is being monitored at work.  I can't sit and have blogger open all day and read when I have a couple of moments.


I love to get comments and feedback on what you like and even what you don't like.  I enjoy hearing YOUR opinions and what YOU think.  That way I get to learn more about YOU.  Yes YOU - my Bloggerville Friends.


Join G-Man and write a complete story in 55 words.


Here's my Friday Flash Fiction 55


No more deadlines
No morestress
Just threeweeks of holiday
Chillaxing andRest
I can’twait to do nothing
Kick backin my hammock
Chug exotic cocktails
And feelthe sand on my feet
Hear theocean’s waves crashing
My kidsgiggling and squealing
Permitted  to do anything we want
Are wethere yet?







Now go and sign up for Fawk You Friday over at Boobies

My Fuck You's this week are:

Fuck You to the bastard toothache that I've been suffering for the last two weeks.  No fekking medical insurance left so it will have to wait until next year!  suffer baby suffer!

Fuck You to the rain that poured down last night during my 4 year old's Christmas Carol's By Candlelight mini-concert and ruined her debut performance.

Fuck You to my doctor who injected a VERY pointy, VERY sharp, VERY long needle into my face in order to remove all my moles this week.  I look like a fucking leper at the moment because I've still got stitches in my face and scabs where he Dr Shit Hole burned off the rest.  Everyone keeps asking me what happened.  I told them "I actually won the fight but you should see the other guy, He's fighting for his life in ICU, Fucker!"  Some actually believed me for about three seconds.

Climate Changes Blogfest

For those of you who don’t know, Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15th where bloggers across the world unite to write about a single issue on a single day. We like to think of it as one big blogfest for good, and our goal is to spark conversation on an issue of importance across the web.





 
This year’s topic is climate change, and Blogger thus far has more than 4,000 bloggers from 123 countries registered.



I decided to Blog about our very own home-grown Climate Changes in South Africa.







Climate Change is often referred to as Global Warming. 



Africa faces more challenges than the developed or rich countries in both the impact and capacity to respond to Climate Change.  Climate Change is global problem hence it requires global co-ordinated action.



Our natural resources are rapidly being destroyed, which  we humans solely depend on for food, water, shelter, energy, and other commodities.  This has a huge impact on us and our environment and also delays sustainable development.  Our poisons:



-Carbon dioxide (omitted during the burning of fossil fuels and chemical reactions)

- Methane (produced when burning coal, natural gases and oils)

- Nitrous Oxide (omitted during agricultural and industrial activities and solid waste)



The changing weather patterns in South Africa are becoming evident because of these poisons.  Veld or bush fires are on the increase Natal, while Lesotho was covered in snow?  Weird?  It sure is...Lakes have literally shrunk and the snow on the mountains has dimished.



We need to change people's casual attitude towards global warming and as a country we need to educate everyone on the ripple affect their behaviour is having on our environment.  If everyone does a little something for the environment, it would make it much easier. 



We can start at home with simple tasks: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. 

• Reduce the waste you and your family produce.
• Reuse your items before they become waste.
• Recycle your waste.


In a CC Summit  in March 2006, President Kgalema Motlante said “Acting now on climate change presents the best possibility to overcome the challenges of the global economic crisis through investment in pro-poor, job creating and sustainable ‘green growth’” .
