This is my Aunt (pronounced "Ant") Bettie:
She consistently cracks me the fuck up.
Mostly because she is a born again Christian, and she consistently "likes" most of the inappropriate posts I ever post on Facebook ever. She even comments on them.
Cases in point:
It just kills me that she can be so religious, yet so accepting of her family, no matter what. I think it must come with age, and quite frankly, facing your own mortality. See, Aunt Bettie has the "C", the "cancer", and she's currently going through chemo, and, I'm sure, looking at her past and thinking: "Life's too short, man."
I flirt with that philosophy myself. I had my own near-death experience about two years ago (even though I didn't realize it at the time), and find that I am more accepting of other people, much less judgemental than I used to be (although I still have my moments, believe me). You just appreciate people who you find are loyal and loving, and you start to see more of the good in them more than their flaws. Even though you may not have the same beliefs, agree with their life decisions, share their interests, you still love them. Because they love you.
And if they recognize your greatness, they can't be all bad, can they?
And check out this accent; this is the true south, I love it!

Which brings me to my Mood Ring(tone) of the Day (because the Rottenator has been extra sweet since my recent mental meltdown about work)...and believe it or not, he is one of the most accepting and least judgemental people I have ever met...if he loves you, that is...
I dearly hope we make it to a game this year...

This is just a small sampling; now here is a sampling of Aunt B's daily posts:

I had a near death experience about five years ago and frankly it made me less 'accepting' than I used to be. Of course, I see it as standing up for myself and not being a doormat any more. I don't put up with s.h.1.t any longer. From anyone. If somebody's p*ss*ng me off I tell them. Strangely, I seem to have more friends these days. :)

I would love to meet a born-again Christian that isn't judgmental. I know a lot of them and I have only met about 2 that aren't.
