There's a new breed of people moving to my area, I don't know where they are from, but they only think of themselves. I can spot them right away on the hiking trail, I look at them and say, Hello, and they stare straight ahead and say nothing back. Anyone that's lived in this area for a while, will smile back and say hello back... Where are these unfriendly people moving here from?... Go home!

Inthewood, that is not right . Not smiling back or at least acknowledge your gesture us plain rude.
lindsyjones: I've done that but never do it again. They're what I call only friends when they need you.
I have found over the years almost all so-called friends and some family only act like your friend or relative as long as you keep giving or doing things for them. I had a friend for over 25 years we did the same kind of work and we collaborated on many many jobs over the years. He was a lot older then me and was getting ready to retire. His customers were very important to him and he wanted me to absorb his business when he did retire. I never said I would take all his customers because I had my own. I thought we would always be friends, but during my divorce I decided I wasn't going to live anywhere near my ex and would be leaving the State. When he realized I was serious and wasn't going to be around to take his business he broke off all contact with me. That was five years ago and he still hasn't returned any of my calls.

My life was like that for a long time Big then it hit me and realized it had to end.
Lindsy I think you misunderstand Bear. She's putting down people on the right because she thinks that being in the middle of the road on everything makes her superior to both sides. The problem with people who claim to be neither Liberal or Conservative is they are either Liberal but disagree with only a few liberal ideas or they are incapable of making a decision either one way or the other so they ride the fence on everything. If you look at a lot of the post bear has made you will see that she agrees with the liberal ideology more often then not.

I think you are right Big. Now it makes sense. Yes I find her answer sometimes more in agreement with the liberals.
