To; naysayers and those who have to deal with them
I believe that most of us have all been in the position of being second guessed by people we know. If it is persistent, it can weaken your resolve and confidence , if you allow it to. Thus, a month ago, I sent the following encouraging e-mail to support a young friend in an attempt to raise her confidence a bit. I decided to present it here to you, just in case you know others, who may benefit from it too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't let naysayers get to you, my friend. Some of the best advice I can ever give you, is to surround yourself with positive people, instead of negative ones. You will feel much better, live longer and accomplish far more in life. It's best not to argue with the negative types. Just take their statements as a sort of negative control - things to perhaps consider and safeguard yourself against, but not weigh you down. Yes, things COULD go wrong and you are aware of that. However, it doesn't mean you should ever give up, just because of the possibility of failure. It's also possible that you CAN succeed. And it clearly is those people who try, that DO succeed in life. Believe me, those that do not try, rarely ever succeed at anything, except missing out. Indeed, I challenge you to think of one who succeeded. It isn't easy to do so. Just about every real life success story you can probably think of, was due to someone persistently trying and not giving up.
Even if you strike out 9 out of 10 times, when you finally hit that home run, that's what makes it all worthwhile. I assure you that Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds & Roger Maris all made outs MANY more times, than they hit home runs, but no one remembers, or even cares about that, when you point it out.
As another example Colonel Sanders tried to sell his recipe for KFC chicken over 1,000 times and got turned down every time, except for the last time.
Abraham Lincoln, arguably one of our best presidents ever, lost a ton of elections, overcame mental illness and had several failed businesses, before he eventually became a great president.
In order to be successful, you must take some calculated risks and have the courage to overcome naysayers. Thus, I applaud your decision to move forward, rather than do nothing, as it takes courage and not everyone has courage. It also takes brains and not everyone has an ample supply of those either. You might remind them, that THEY are on the internet too. Thus, are they players and liars too ?
That might shut them up, at least for a little bit. :)"
As an update, I am happy to report my friend couldn't be happier. Although she WAS truly stressed by naysayers (supposed friends) she is now deeply in love with the person that others were putting down, even though they didn't know him. Indeed, the happy couple just moved in together last week.

TROLLS
According to Wikipedia:
A troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. They dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units but their dwellings seems to be getting too congested for them so most of them now dwells on the internet with the ultimate purpose to sow discord by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
Lately, trolls became beings in their own right, where they live far from human habitation and are considered dangerous to human beings. Depending on the region from which accounts of trolls stem, their appearance varies greatly; trolls may be ugly and slow-witted, or look and behave exactly like human beings, with no particularly grotesque characteristic about them.
I guess this explains why most of the trolls doesn't have profile photo:
To better understand them, look closely to this:
and if you ever come across one...don't let it bother you. You can buy this at Angel's:
Have fun and be nice to trolls, they're not as lucky and happy as you

The price of gas has dropped sharply. SOME PLACES HAVE DROPPED MORE THAN A DOLLAR A GALLON...
About 9 weeks ago local gas prices peaked. Have you noticed? Prices appear to be going down sharply. Last month, some stations near the highway were a little over $5 per gallon while the cheaper stations were peaking around $4.79 to $4.85
I had business in the Hollywood area Wednesday and pleased to see a few stations as low as $4.17 per gallon for cash. I passed the opportunity and got gas in Fort Lauderdale for $4.27 I live in Palm Beach County and cheap gas was around $4.29 today.
A friend who has a membership with BJ's Club got gas on Friday and paid $3.89. That's a dollar less per gallon than he was paying in June!
Typically in the summer months, gas prices rise just when people go on vacation.
Since no one I know has the ability to control the price of oil as it gets to the refineries, all we can do for now is shop around.
There are a few phone apps that monitor gas prices so you can see who has the best price in your area.
Hopefully this is going to be a downward trend making consumers happy!
I pulled up a 6 month chart from the website gasbuddy to confirm my suspicion and the national average was $5.02 on June 12 and $4.40 on July 22. Yes, going down.
Link:
The inspiration for this blog was another blog that stated fuel prices were skyrocketing, as in presently happening. That wasn't factual. Prices peaked weeks ago. It made a claim from outdated information as prices were declining. Since I posted this blog, the other blog title was changed and now compares it with a previous administration and that Biden supporters being happy with the high price of fuel.
Was it something I said?
(title edited because some people mistakenly thought I said gas prices were a dollar a gallon. I said they dropped a dollar a gallon) But that's okay, you can still complain about it.
