We all knew it and it feels liberating to say out loud what we all shared with awkward glances. It doesn&#8217;t sound very motherly to hate Gingers, what with our decorative freckles and our bushes of fire.<\/p>\n<p>Huh? Wha? But&#8230; but nothing! The weather forecast for this Thursday (July 21, 2011) is at a scorching 45 degrees with humidex. You know how hot that is? It&#8217;s hot enough for cows to cook to a medium roast just standing in the direct sun. Chickens will actually lay hard boiled eggs. People living in the African desert would take one step outside and say &#8220;no mum hum hum click click pop&#8221; which translated is &#8220;Screw this shit, I&#8217;m going back to Africa where it&#8217;s cold&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She is clearly trying to burn us out. Perhaps she is trying to send a message that we were never to leave Scotland \/ Ireland. Note: Scotland now tops the population with 13% Ginger. (<a title=\"Ginger Facts\" href=\"http:\/\/www.purgatory.net\/kornelia\/1603\/red_hair_facts.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.purgatory.net\/kornelia\/1603\/red_hair_facts.htm<\/a>). We Gingers try to avoid England when at all possible, but then again, who wouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Returning &#8220;home&#8221; is actually not a bad idea. I have been to Scotland and have the desire\/need to go back. I would live there in a heart beat, even if it meant my mother-in-law was in tow. BUT, if I return it will be on my terms. I will not have someone forcing me to go back.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, I ask you, if you see a Ginger outside this Thursday cooking like a big upside down human carrot; bring him or her inside. Let them baste in the air conditioning. Maybe fetch them a popscicle of some sort, some of us are fond of banana, or chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>Scott<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There, I said it!
