You cannot be disorderly in your own home. You can't yell, scream at, or otherwise harass someone just because they are in your home.Your behavior has to be orderly, as such, EVEN IN YOUR OWN HOME. I know many of you don't agree, or don't like the idea of this, but mark my word--conduct even inside your own home is actionable if deemed inappropriate. By the same token, consider this: the police can search your vehicle. In and out. Without a warrant. Have you committed a crime? Nope. Just driving along, doo da doo da doo....putt putt putt....
I'm a gonna give him a chance. Men are difficult, but not totally impossible. I tried to explain it as fairly and clearly as my education can--think he'll at least look at other points of view. Have faith, darlings!
Have you heard of Orange Julias? They are so awesome, I could drink a gallon. Here's what you do: Pour 8-10 oz. good orange juice (fresh, with pulp if you like) and 8-10 oz. vanilla ice cream, 1/3 cup skim milk, a teaspoon or two of sugar into a blender. Whip until it's the prettiest orange color you've ever seen. Do not do this in front of anyone else. You will not want to share.
I appreciate your response. There are always going to be unknown factors in these types of events. It becomes "he said, he said", ad nauseum. I get this. Aggressive behavior and belligerence may be fairly interpreted as hostile;assaultive. THIS is criminal. I believe the homeowner took the opportunity to show them up, he escalated, providing them with actionable cause. If evidence proves differently, I will defer. And it does not come so easily for me to always believe authority, just because. I am fully aware that they are deeply wrong, AT TIMES. However, the homeowner TOOK ADVANTAGE of the fact that he was in his home. How could the officers possibly have known this, when there was every indication that he appeared to be breaking in? We are going to see more and more of this. I suggest a good solution would be for the police and the homeowner to go through arbitration, avoid the expense of court, etc... perhaps have a public forum, each side calmly explaining their end of it, and both apologizing, then forging a neighborhood partnership based on respecting the rights, differences, and so forth of everyone in the community. This works in at least some communities, and eliminates, or at least puts a dent in, this Us vers. Them crappola which has gone on far too long.
Here is what a precinct's police captain (a good friend) had to say: "the acceptable protocol is that a person who has locked himself out of a car, house, office, etc... finding no other access than by 'breaking in' (an arbitrary term) should first contact the police station or the closest reasonable person or persons of authority (fire personnel, for example) and explain the situation so that the police are AWARE of the problem. It is completely reasonable for the authorities to believe a crime is in progress under unusual circumstances. (breaking a window, manipulating a lock, crawling through a window, are all unusual ways of accessing one's home, without a question.) Try to see it from the police's point of view: if they observed it and did nothing, and an actual crime WAS in fact in progress, then they would be under tough scrutiny for derelection of duty. Put yourself in the other guys' shoes, will ya?" (My own opinion is that the officers were more in the right, in this instance. They were doing their job. The homeowner should have been polite, offered picture ID, thanked them for being concerned about his home. It was his mouth that got him in trouble, not the officers being "wrong". I don't blame them one bit. Sorry to anyone disagreeing, but you have to live in your community right. It's not just about you and your stuff. It's all of us.
YYou are right! I remembered as soon as you posted it. thank you zillions! (it bugs me to not remember something I know that I KNOW! you saved the day for me.
Trust is not something to monkey around with. It's often hard won. Betrayal is bloody nasty, and realistically, Handsome, it is NOT forgettable. At all. SO uncool. Perhaps there are people who can "rehab" from straying (and that's only one kind of betrayal. There are many), but if I was with a very much loved partner and that person betrayed me, I think I'd call it a day. No, we're certainly not angels, and forgiveness is necessary for our own healing, but one can truly forgive and still not have to go back for a second slapping.
FYI: "Gypsy" or "Gypsie": one of several largely nomadic races originating in central and/or central eastern Europe.
"Dark" or "Black" Irish": a person of Spanish and Irish heritage".
"Scot-Irish" or "Scottish-Irish" (never Scotch-Irish!)" either an emigree from Scotland to Ireland OR a person of Irish and Spanish heritage.
now, just out of interest could someone tell me the term native Hawaiins use for a caucasian person living on the Islands? I use to know but have forgotten. thanx...
Years ago a boss of mine told me that they are a race. Difficult to stay a certain nationality, as several countries have a race of gypsies. I believe they are associated with Hungary, Romania.
hmm. always liked the idea of a cheek kiss, but could be just a teensie forward. Hugs are my specialty, and MOST folks are o.k., some friends have said it's nice to ask first. (but then the charm/spontaneity is lacking). Flowers--for the first time absolutely NEVER red; Spring bouquet (columbine, daffodils) or yellow roses. Mattress? well, if the date is camping, an air mattress, I guess. If I had to bet on it, I would say greet with yellow mini-roses and a hug. (if the loved one wants/needs more they are likely to say "Is that all I get?" Then you get to say, "that's the hors d'oeuvre, don't want to spoil dessert!" Grrrrrrt Luck to you! (oh smile!)
It hasn't happened for me, but I really believe that it can. And I think that even when life seems darkest, it can happen. When that new love comes along, it is such a feeling, you wonder why you were so worried. One very, very beautiful thing about this life: we get second and third, and sometimes more, chances. Chin up--
Right. I always tell people who want their profile reviewed to focus on 'good' stuff. Too many times I see that folks highlight what isn't/hasn't worked for them. Don't want to sound like a talkshow host, but it's human nature to shy away from too many can'ts, don'ts, nevers, won'ts, "i've been hurts" , ad nauseum. Everyone knows life isn't a bowl of cherries. Kind of like going to the Fair and complaining about the livestock. No one wants to hear it. My advice, as always, stay on the sunny side of the street. (thank you Mother Maybelle Carter!)
Why wouldn't others like it? People who are provincial, prudish have a way bigger problem than those who are not. I don't think the shirtless guys are doing it to be show-offs. I think it's fine.
I couldn't agree more. As I've read some of the responses, I have to admit that I don't know the answer to this question. It must exist to a certain extent, look at the partners who stay in spite of alcoholism, being left alone while the other is in prison and still waiting, nervous breakdowns, body-damaging surgeries, etc... The vows taken during a marriage ceremony indicate a promise of unconditional love (it appears to me, I could be mistaken...) just some thoughts.
