Truth here is, that anyone who uses money to pay for anything is paying for transport. If you drink tea , coffee, light a fire, eat butter, jam, peanut butter,mangoes,,,,,,,, millions of daily foods, then you are paying for transport.
Unless you (general "you" here),kill and cure and preserve your own meat, grow your own cotton, and flax, rear your own wool and make your own jello, it will cost you in transport and energy, because someone else has to do that for you, and use resources to do it.
All this talk of doing it all ourselves is a load of hogwash unless we all want to go back to the dark ages and raise pigs in the kitchen.
What we need to look at is better ways to get the energy we use, or find new forms of energy, not to save antiquated energy systems. It's about moving forward.........
I'm reading a lot of SUPPOSITION here on my personal lifestyle and whether I read the article........
Actually, just about the ONLY thing you got right, is, that I am smarter than this!!!!
I didn't make suppositions about you, not did I personally attack you. I talked IN GENERAL about THE TOPIC, and asked some relevant questions, which, by the way, weren't answered...........
Why do health and lifestyle topics always seem to be full of scaremongering, complaints, warnings, doom and gloom?
Are there no GOOD, CHEERFUL, health news topics?
High cost energy doesn't wreck my lifestyle. If I want it and can afford it, I use it. If not I don't. Most people in the world are the same.
Anyone's lifestyle and how much energy they use is a personal choice, like using a washing machine, or dishwasher, or turning on 3 rings on the cooker, having an electric blanket, electric lights, tv, running a car or 5, electric toothbrush, or hot water for a bath or shower.
Growing a lettuce or two isn't impacting on that.
So gas/petrol is going up, so what? We create the demand for it.....
Some people, too, get together with somoene who has had the love of their life and maybe they died or something and they decide for various reasons that they give each other comfort etc. Nothing wrong with what people agree , as long as they BOTH agree.
Relationships are strange things. People get together for very many varied reasons, and some of them work for lifetimes.
I agree up to a point, but in my case I would never tell even my best friend what kind of relationship I was in or it's arrangements.
I have been in both situations, where friends told me things and where they haven't. Sometimes I needed to let it run it's course, sometimes I needed to be told, sometimes I needed to not believe them and sometimes I already knew and didn't appreciate hearing it.
Somebody told meonce "If you have conflict with someone, look in the mirror".
That probably won't help in your case though. Has all the talking been done? Does everyone see the situation from everyone else's point of view? If management just believe that they are right then it is bad management. If you have approached them with possible solutions that could benefit everyone, and they refused to listen, then it is time to bow out.
Fighting never resolves conflict, but compromise often does.
If all that failed, then walk away knowing you did your best.
I've been looking at the responses and it looks like men and women really deal with this differently.
My two cents worth is, to talk to your friend and find ut what kind of relationship they really have, (if she will tell you).
Some people don't find "the one" when they find a partner, and make arrangements among themsleves to "be with each other on conditions."
Relationship are complicated and private to the people concerned. He may have told her that he is still on other sites.
JMO but it's not your place to burst anyone's bubble just because you saw his profile. I have profiles on several sites and go visit them to see if there is mail from time to time and I am in a relationship. It means nothing.
If you had definite proof that he had made arrangements to date someone, then that is different, but there is no proof of anything here.
It is all too easy to jump in with our own agenda sometimes when theirs might be a lot different......
Haven't made up my mind yet. It starts on my birthday too. I met someone here recently and he has his own plans so Barcelona mightn't work out. Never know though.
Maybe one day we will run into each other someplace like a "meet" or something and then I will tell you if you still want to know. You never know where life takes us in the grand scheme of things.
I think that nearly dying is often a good thing. It gives us a chance to ask ourselves what we are really doing here and how we can do it better. And that can't be a bad thing.
