Whom really decides what is tolerant or intolerant behavior to tolerate? Society? News media? For me it is my inside compass in life. My heart. I am only human so am I being part of the problem by tolerating intolerable behavior. Or am I being intolerant by not excepting the behavior? Aw geez I need rest after thinking about this. I am more twisted than a pretzel So please Ms Gripper tolerate my intolerable post I just popped in to say hello
You might find this interesting. I don't know if you ever heard of Thanksgiving beggars....it is an event that took place before Halloween became popular here in the states. It is a short article, I have heard the story tho from older people who lived it. Quite fascinating to me. I had never heard of it till I was adult. I had thought there always was a halloween
I use to decorate for Halloween and then I moved sadly to an area where I don't get trick or treaters. I miss the little ones coming with their costumes and bags Please do post the pics I love lights and decoration.
Dang it I read your comment and had to check the link out.Nope nope you should of laughed.......sad part is out there there really is someone who acts like that He was hilarious!
I agree with you on them and I getting along together is most important. And our life experiances being different.That is what makes life so wonderful. My grand daughter much like your story adopted a white ferret and a mixed tan and black one. No one likes the white one because it has a deformity on it that is quite noticiable but does not stop it from enjoying life. And yes I make a fuss over it when I see it.Telling it how beautiful and sweet it is. And to think I wonder why I cannot find anyone to accept me for me
You know Redo I have heard this about cats and dogs. Black ones not getting adopted as quick as others. I am unsure of the reasoning. Big dogs and older animals are less likely to get adopted also I just wanted to tell you my experiance. I had a black lab. I loved that dog so much. He was an exceptionally large dog and just the best four legged friend one could ask for. Then I got Mika. Solid long white hair. One blue eye and one brown. Same size as Bear. Not as well behaved as Bear but still a good loving animal. Here is what I noticed. And it bothered me. People would fuss all over Mika when we were out in public and ignore Bear. They feared him. I would pet him and tell him how great he was. To be honest to this day I would say he was the best dog I have ever had. And I know people are tired of you going on and on about the colors. Heavens I am tired of seeing the threads. But I had to wonder. The only difference in the dogs were there color. Even their shapes were similiar. I believe color difference does play a role in our society today. But not like it did when I was a little girl. I have lived long enough to see progress. Much progress in that area. And with each generation hopefully it will get better. There are always going to some people looking down their noses at others. Be it that they are a different color, different nationality, different financial class, different size. That is life. The thing is you have to remember others opinions of you is not important. It is how you see yourself. I have a friend she is a young black woman. She sees herself as a winner in life. She has worked very hard to make her dreams come true. I knew she could all along. It is hard to keep a good person down no matter what color size or bank account they are. Creame has a way of rising to the top. If she seen herself as a hopeless victim then that is most likely what she would be. Most people don't want to talk about color difference it is distasteful and alot of whites were raised like me. My daddy always told me an ignorant person judges a book by the outside that there is good and bad in every color. We were very poor. As a child going into a school some judged me by my hand me down clothes. That is ok. I forgive them they just didn't know any better. I hope what ever bee is in your bonnet that makes you love stirring the pot you leave here at cs because in your life I wish you happiness and to feel whole. And if you see two dogs and they are friendly please pet them both.
It's humour redo! Maybe some would not find it so. But it was said as in humour. With this world so full of its political correctness now a days it is a miracle anyone has any humour left.
Example....this one is in the speech.......
Mole lasses is how it would be said.
Molasses are surprisingly tasty. I've never tried any other parts of the mole though
Don't worry about menopause! I went thru it no meds or anything and I didn't kill anyone It is different for different people. I always thought I would go thru it without having problems and lucky enough I was one of the ones that did
I don't know it would depend on the situation. Is their work to close to yours where you are in each others space? Maybe you could just tell them nicely a better way to work that will give you both enough space? And if that don't work you could always ask management for a solution.
Aw you don't really need those skills, you've gotten by this long. I have been thinking about this mens shed thing. And how it is suppose to get you out amongst people. I prefer to stay to myself. I have friends and go places. When I want. Other than that I prefer a quiet life and spend a good bit of my free time puttering around my home with my dog. Just the two of us. Is that kind of life style unacceptable in Australia? Would they send me to a womans shed if I was there? Being around alot of prattle would make me a nervous wreck
RE: Tolerance and Intolerance...
That depends on the situation for me.Whom really decides what is tolerant or intolerant behavior to tolerate? Society? News media? For me it is my inside compass in life. My heart. I am only human so am I being part of the problem by tolerating intolerable behavior. Or am I being intolerant by not excepting the behavior? Aw geez I need rest after thinking about this.
