RE: Why is it.....?

You know, we can't always change or control situations--there are thousands of members on CS--the mods already provide the "blocking" option. Can you imagine how much work, and constant work at that, to custom-design these things for all of us? Not to preach, but I encourage reading the Serenity Prayer--the ENTIRE piece:


"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference-
Living one day at a time- enjoying one moment at a time-
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace--
Taking as He did this sinful world as it is, and not as I would have it,
Trusting that He will make all things right-
If I surrender to His will--
So I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy in the next. AMEN

geeze---after all the sugar I give you---

RE: I decided to lease a little 2023 hybrid automobile. Do you like it?

I don't see it as "bad-mouthing". When the public comments on an issue many are against, is that "bad-mouthing", or is it simply one's prerogative? Right?

RE: I decided to lease a little 2023 hybrid automobile. Do you like it?

the reason you're getting "disagrees" -(thumbs-down) is because, OVERALL, leasing is a loss for the consumer. I "get it" that using leased vehicles commercially is a tax write-off; that's a given in all commercial rental situations, whether it be an office space, machinery, or whatever. By the way, people do many things that are not "viable"--gambling, drinking, ordering expensive food, going on vacations they can't afford, borrowing money they can't pay back, etc....

RE: nothing is free

I was also going to mention "karma" (should it be capitalized, btw?) as this goes hand in hand with nothing being 'free'.

RE: I decided to lease a little 2023 hybrid automobile. Do you like it?

Although I'm still on the fence regarding hybrid automobiles, I am NOT on the fence about "leasing" a vehicle. So, a few years ago I had a discussion with two relatives (who were gung ho regarding leasing a car(s))--here's a short syllabus/comparison:

Pro-leasing: You get a beautiful, new car. It is under a great warranty- for the term of the lease. Often the monthly lease payment is a little less than buying a (new) car for keeps. The lease is 2 or 3 years. Buying is often 4 years. (Insurance is, however, MORE...)

Pro-buying: If the circumstances are ideal, and they can be, you get a beautiful new or late model car. It is under warranty, which may be extended if the loan term exceeds the contract. Insurance is often somewhat LESS (because your contract for insurance will be a long time..). And, here's the main reason"

At the end of a "lease", you take the car back to the lot. They calculate the diminished value, and charge that, plus any other "wear and tear" they say they find. Remember, you have paid two years (or whatever) lease for the car. You don't get the money or the car. Empty pockets as you leave. Now, when you BUY a car, guess what you get at the end of the contract? No cost for d.v. No cost for w & t. AND, now for the drum-roll: YOU GET A CAR!!!!!!!!

Don't be stupid.

RE: likes/dislikes of women and men

In all fairness, men (not ALL) are somewhat absent-minded. jmobservations.

RE: likes/dislikes of women and men

Before anyone gets his or her shorts in a bunch, I will say that I do not think ALL do this. However, in my lifetime, women and punctuality have been a constant problem. Never ready on time. Rarely on time. Running late all the time. jmobservations.

Happened AGAIN....

I went to check to see if anyone commented on my thoughts in a particular thread a few days ago. Zip.....it was totally erased. Now, I understand if content is really bad (and I see some really wild and crazy threads that stay up for a long time...) but I didn't think it was THAT outrageous. For anyone who may remember:

The thread was about ridiculous political correctness and related. I simply said this:

"In 2000 or so, RN's and LPN's were at a continuing education seminar. We were told that a patient could complain (literally) about the 'look on our face'. I went on to say how nuts that was because it meant being held to the fire because a patient could say, "S/he came into my room frowning. S/he scared me." Given that, a nurse or orderly could be in trouble for abuse. I typed in a second box,

"Thank Holy Jesus Christ I am retired!"

Now, can anyone tell me what is so wrong or "bad" about that??

RE: Oh No

There were Christmas items all over the stores here on August 31.

RE: What's wrong with you people?

Because your salutation seemed broad, and you do write about multi-situations, I just wasn't sure. But thank you for the explanation. And no, there's nothing "wrong" with me--just a very detailed person who likes clarity. (There are billions of us..... )

RE: first day of the new year

RE: What's wrong with you people?

Can you be a little clearer? (I don't get what you are trying to say...) thanx
