Probably the benign misuse of the word, but the people connection kind of fist as well...classifications of human beings as worthy or not.
We get that kind of crap from time to time here. I've found a few places where I can get power and internet when I need it in a pinch. Still sucks.
I was never good at distance running, if you considered speed, but could run just about forever back in the day. Of course, it's entirely possible running "just about forever" is part of why my knees are crap now. I know I ran through some injuries I shouldn't have, and probably am paying for it now.
Yyyikes! YES it is interesting what makes people tick... and often when there's a very specific trigger it's as though they won't let up until there's been a righteous victory or an admitting by someone else that they were "wrong/right". Golly gosh..a couple of days ago, a 'friend' ripped me a new one, because before Easter I had a discussion with another person in a group setting.
the topic was the constant disagreeable behavior of yet another person (confused yet?)
the person I got into a tiff with ended up defending the mean behavior of this individual, insulting everybody else in the round, along the lines of 'she is like me' and nobody but her had common sense...and it got worse from there.
So, the attempts to shut her up the nice way failed, so, yours truly got more clear (And if you have visited the Study of old, you know I can be pretty clear!), and considering her support of ultra extreme political views, I called her that appropriate moniker by comparison.
Anyway
the group decided to part ways with her, and 2 months later said friend messages me in a huff, because I called her a bad name. Said 'friend' spends her free time aggravating people with the above mentioned extreme values, and reports them to FB.
She send me 3 emails with the complaints and I suppose the link, because I had not found it even though I actually did search. I remember I wasn't feeling like I was in the wrong, and after re-reading the content, this has been affirmed, sorry not sorry.
I did not open the emails. I didn't feel like messing with it.
Didn't even read the majority of the private messages either, like fort line, last line, hey, I am done with this topic!
So somewhere, I am puzzled, but not enough to really look into it.
what makes people tick.
I mean, it is funny when people who blaze into a topic with their minds made up complain about people having their minds made up before entering a discussion!
It was some surreal experience, which I obscured some for brevity and the general amusement .
OH, she had my email wrong, so somewhere there is a poor sap who just got bombarded with a bunch of accusations out of the blue, by a complete stranger!
.. Sick, shmick.....
Sorry to hear that mate... take good care of yourself, you'll be back in no time I hope
I boycotted Nike some time ago for my own reasons. Here is just another example that adds to the pile.
Any tips would be appreciated. We are not too spoiled - although yeah, having a place to cook would be nice.I'm going to have to look into this. The problem with vacationing here is obviously how damn expensive it is. A nice hotel is terrific, all you have to do is deposit an arm and a leg at the front desk. Then drop of a few more when you check out.
Condos and bed and breakfasts are the way to go. I haven't really looked into them in years. The key is having a place to cook your meals, so you don't have to eat out. The next big expense is a rental car. Gotta' have it. And you need to use one of the major companies. If you use one of the small fly-by-night ones - you're just renting trouble. You can get away without the rental car, but then you can't really go anywhere and that's no way to see Maui for the first time. There is some public transportation, minimal, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody. I mean, it's fine when you're eighteen and don't give a damn about anything, especially riding with crazy people, but that's about it.
Let me do some research, talk to some folks. My buddy Eddie at work travels all over the world, his gal works for an airline so they fly nearly free. But he knows about what to look for as far as cost and where/how to stay places. I'm pretty sure there's no magic panacea, but he probably knows the best way.
I wish it was the nineties. Back then we rented a house with a spare bedroom and bath, everyone used to stay with us. Now we live in an 800 square foot box that doesn't even have room for a kitchen table or couch. No complaints, mind you, we love it. Best thing about it is it keeps the wife's relatives away.
I didn't go to Zumba yesterday because of a migraine. Somehow, jumping around on a concrete floor to loud music in a room with no fans appeared less than fabulous. There, do you feel better now?
Right? And Google tells you to swim across. So, there are options. I don't see what their problem is.
