It's the season of supposedly "good will". I wonder how many could use an attitude re-adjustment??!! Let's end the year with some positive thoughts and take them into 2023.

One thing about the villages, lots of complainers. My guess is they have complained where they’came from. Just like pigeons you don’t notice them till there’s a bunch poo**** on your parade.

Hence, even though you were about to be "hanged by the neck until dead", you would complain about the "scratchy rope"...

Well, yeah...

I mean, who wouldn't?

A REALIST. I've been called worse. Negative comments? Some are actually trying to help. Some have such a low opinion of themselves that they need to put other down to build themselves up. Try as you might you will not change people. I try to learn from everyone. Sometimes the lesson is not to be like them.

For what it is worth, I saw a survey that stated that Florida drivers ARE among the worst in the nation. For all. You cannot control what others do. You can control what you do.

Never quite figured out what she meant by that...

Has been posted several times. Mom was surely a pistol. You remembered it.

REALITY, people with any brains were nice to the executioner. The professional hangman was a skilled tradesman. There were charts for required drop based on the person's weight and how athletic they were. Posters here might but, it was not wise to object to a new or old rope.
