Meaty

I did my superhero, but being as intelligent as I am, I did not scroll down and add eyes/nose. I just plugged right through and got a quick result. Mainly because my kids were still awake!!

So my superhero was all cool, but had no facial features which makes her a bit less 'super'. So, I banned the children to their rooms and began, once again, using all of the exact same features, accessories and remembering to add a FACE. The outcome looked the same, only more normal and yet the name changed by quite a bit.

I know, I know, it is a simple name generator, blah, blah, blah....but I went from being Baroness Von Burning Inferno to the following......

I'll admit - the new persona entitled "MEATY" does fit me a bit better, but "Experimental Hottie"??? If there are any dudes out there that like KINKY CHUBBALUBBIN' CHICKS, then I guess I'm your girl. I chose the torcher accessory and would have referenced my insane abilities to flame some meringue pie, but with this new title I could be roasting something completely off-base.

I digress...

My post yesterday was about my encounter with a person that was affected with 'something'. I try really hard to not to be judgmental. I actually thought I was mostly on the side of acceptance of people that are different or otherwise labeled. That was until I encountered something that I had never come across before. His hands were covered with raised, whitish lumps. I imagined it would be what a 'boil' would look like. Whatever it was, it was awful in appearance and in my head I didn't feel pity, I felt "ick". A similar feeling that I imagine most people felt about the Elephant Man. And then I felt about a half inch tall. I think it is only when something stares you in the face that you can truly measure your character. I'd say that I failed on that one. I still don't know what it was, and in the end I did shake his hand. I am embarrassed to admit, though, that I did not WANT to.

Do you or don't you?

When making a business transaction with a salesperson, assuming all goes well, you would anticipate a hand shake upon the conclusion of the sale - right? Usually, I would say that this is the case.



When dealing with salespeople one would assume that a person hired would not have communicable diseases, right? So, knowing that a company allows a person to work for them you would gather that contact with this person would be safe to be in contact with. Are you still with me?



That said, if the person is visually affected with something you are not familiar with, say protrusions or growths on their body, would you assume that they are risk free and be comfortable with a handshake?

Taking this a step further, your salesperson has small growths on their face/eyelids and then along the hands and arms there are large protruding growths, with coloration. Do you welcome the handshake?

If you do shake their hand, how would you feel? Were you forced and now feel the need to cleanse? Would you think nothing of it?

If you don't want to shake, how would you decline a person with an outstretched hand waiting? Do you wonder if you've offended them? Do you care?
