"You can fool some of the people some of the time but if you think you're fooling God, you're only fooling yourself." -Earl Richter

Beautiful pictures, Phoenixx! Yes, I've noticed this and last weekend, there have been more people out at the stores and on the road. I just hope it doesn't cause the covid numbers to spike again (although it probably will). Yesterday, they had some kind of march in Washington DC to protest...

I used to go out of my way to make people feel comfortable. It put me in some bad situations where people thought it was okay to take advantage since I was being so accommodating. I realized I could no longer do that and if they didn't feel comfortable, well so be it. I was paying too high of...

This is how I am now that stores encourage us to bring our own bags. Because of Covid, they won't touch your bag if you bring your own so now when I'm done paying, I feel pressure to hurry up and bag my groceries and get out of the way before the person behind me needs the space.

So true! I kept telling myself not to stoop to her level when she would try to blame me for her mistakes. Looks like it paid off.

So, the person who was trying to sabotage mine and a few others' work at my job has had it blow up in her face. She was questioned by her higher ups as to why things always seem to stop with her yet everybody else is to blame (according to her). She's been removed from the process. I'm not...

This is my first time writing in this post but just want to say, I believe listening to each others rants and ramblings when we're feeling down is one of the special things about this forum. It's what keeps me coming back. IMO, this is something you don't get in most forums on the internet...

Okay, I'll take a stab at it. For me it's: Negatives - I make people uncomfortable - I make people even more uncomfortable when I fight against my SA to seem "normal" - Most don't understand me - Many take pleasure in not understanding me and won't attempt to make the effort to. - Many...

Antsy. I'm taking a use or lose vacation day but since I've been working from home due to the Coronavirus, I still feel like I'm at work. I can't keep from checking my work emails to make sure nothing critical shows up. Difficult to relax on a vacation day like I used to with this new setup.

I have a friend who decided to chuck it all and move to Thailand. He's been there for over a year now and absolutely loves it. He says he hates the western culture with all its materialism and people judging if you're just slightly outside of the norm. He says there, nobody judges him and...

I hope he's okay, too. I think his last post was around May.

I have a habit of thinking of something funny and smiling to myself. Sometimes, I get caught and I feel like a weirdo but not since I've been having to wear a mask! Nobody can tell I'm smiling.

It could be that he's doing better and doesn't need to come here. His most recent posts seem to indicate as much. If that's the case, great for him! However, I know he had some health issues in the past so I'm hoping nothing bad has happened to him. He's been a member for as long as I've...

You can't know until you give it a try. It might be the best job you've ever had, you just never know. If not, walking away from it isn't the worse thing that could happen. You'd be no worse off economically than you are now although I do know these types of things can take a toll on you...

That sounds perfect. Best of luck, I really hope you get it!

You are absolutely right. My company is meeting oriented anyway but this whole COVID-19, social distancing thing has made it even worse. Even so, yesterday was an exception. That many meetings was over the top, I barely had a half hour to grab lunch. I'm sure that contributed to my feeling...

Today started off with one of those meetings (virtual meeting) of about 19 people where they hit us with the dreaded, "Let's go around the (virtual) room, introduce ourselves and tell a little about what you like to do in your personal life". If that weren't bad enough, the meeting lasted for 4...

If I don't need it, I don't take it. The only time I will is if it were given to me involuntarily and it was too late to give it back by the time I realized it was there.

Have you tried hydrogen peroxide? I had that problem and was recommended a few drops of the stuff while laying on my side, blocked ear up. Lay there for about 20 minutes while the stuff bubbles and does its stuff then rinse. Repeat if necessary (I had to do it twice). Using some kind of...
