Advertising space

It seemed lucrative enough. Smart enough. Something we should all do cos, why not?
It seems a very plausible idea to generate some income on the side. Might as well!

Until one looks closely at the endorsement of something that you have no control over, and realizes: a mistake it was.

How does one support what you don't condone?
Condone: is to give tacit approval towards something. Even when it simply means just keeping quiet in its presence.

Many opportunists lurk and target those looking for monetary support for their personal causes.

Yet more often than not, commendable causes have the ability to speak for themselves and garner the right sort of support even without the need to so much as to seek.

Rather than letting questionable companies benefit by milking it for all its worth in advertising potential, why not inspire those who truly support the cause to lend a helping hand purely for the sake of true, honest to goodness admiration for the stance?

I'm over drug companies dishing out freebies to healthcare professionals to help get their drugs off the market and into the throats of unsuspecting patients who only have praise for their specialists believing that they're in safe hands of a Doc who knows better than the others in introducing this "miracle" drug for their exclusive use. Later do they know they've been taken as specimens of the animal testing calibre...

On doing the neccessary

Polly put the kettle on,
Suky take it off again.

Polly should know by now that the fourth time Suky takes the kettle off again (without any hint of remorse)and deprive everyone of some much needed hot tea in the cold winter nights, Polly should really do something about it.

Or when is it ever going to end?

For every small slip of the tongue, bears a consequence that can be rather damaging when one starts blowing it into epic proportions that can enhance their position as a victim.

Cleverly, Suky knows that placing herself as a victim can easily attract pity and definitely pull votes of empathy in her desired direction.

But this only works when Polly keeps quiet. Because no one knows the situation better than Polly herself, and, of course, Suky too.

Polly must speak.
and put her claw down in the process...

So all can have tea.

Maybe Suky could put her kettle removing talents to good use somewhere where they can use her expertise... Sure sounds like it will work out better for them all!
