All three had to cancel because of overtime at work or family issues. So, I spent my Canadian tire money, filled my fuel tank and went out window shopping alone in town.
I guess my point is, if you have friends or relatives that live alone, think before you 'cancel out' on them. You have no idea how much they may be hoping for that little bit of in person interaction. And don't just 'visit' on holidays, it is amazing how lonely the rest of the year is and how one little visit can change a whole week.
there..rant done..and I feel better and now I am going out for a nature walk--yes...alone...
So sorry to hear your friends cancel their get together with you olivercat ..Its terrible feeling when your expecting to meet up with them and they cancel ..you done right thing sweetie and went yourself and done some window shopping ..will you have wonderful weekend and please take extra care yourself :sweet:Quote:

Sometimes your job forces you to work overtime and family issues do come up, so don't feel like they're abandoning you. I hope you have a better week, and we care about you here!Quote:

oh thank goodness you bought that generator! Seems to be a must have out where you are. Thank goodness no spoilage occurred.Quote:

We don't have to respect the President of the United States.. we should however respect the office.. It's not ok to show video of him with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.. or his comb over flapping in the wind.. There really is no need to do that to anyone.. its not funny..it's not right.. its a form of bullying ..
It's not ok for anyone to share intimate details between 2 consenting adults.. if a man were to have sex with a female and spread it all over the internet and tv.. we'd be horrified and rightly so.. It's not ok either for a female even if they are a star to publicly shame a male.. mocking size and shape.. She had sex with someone that disgusted her by choice.. to discuss and mock that in public is sooo horribly wrong.. there is nothing that makes that acceptable..
Mental health.. We have supposedly come a long way with regards to mental illness. We're long past the times of locking people away and forgetting about them but lordie.. Kanye West is going through a horrible mental health crisis.. Instead of be supportive and giving him time out of the spot light.. He is being video'd and trashed online.. News programs are blasting his episodes for the world to see.. reporters, comedians , talk show hosts are mocking him and his behavior.. Where is our compassion.. our humanity.. we should be refusing to share that.. Doing the responsible , caring, right thing is not always easy but surely its possible. This is not ok.. I wouldn't want this done to anyone I loved or cared about.. its not ok to do it to anyone :(
@MillieH wrt to everything you posted I do agree.Quote:

He has never once respected the Office of the Presidency he was so fortunate to have been elected to, so there is that.
Kanye has had many many tv anchors on CNN and daytime talk shows voice their concern for his mental health, asking why on earth isn't anyone close to him stopping to help him. BUT....they also comment and discuss the validity/purpose of the statements he made while in the Oval Office because that is news.
I know late night tv hosts do their jokes and stuff, that is their cross to bear. I do remember the Obamas having despicable memes and comments made about them, ( claiming Michelle was a man and depicting her as an ape ) so disrespecting the Presidency is nothing new.
It is all hurtful but past Presidential occupants were never as disrespectful as this one is. He will never change. The Office did not make him more Presidential it just magnified his worst qualities.
I am 3/4 the way through Stormy Daniels book, and she never asked for any of this.
HE called HER a liar. She was not lying and the proof is there. Her life story is quite interesting, it is eye opening for anyone painting actresses as bimbos.
Imho she only inserted a small part in one chapter of her book with intimate details of her encounter with Trump because she was just so fed up of his bullying tactics. Fight fire with fire.
Some excellent points as always :) When a person belittles or attacks another person, it shows who the attacker is, not the character of the person attacked. When we take on the behavior of someone like Trump , it feeds him and encourages more of the same. We can't change the behavior of others but we can change situations by how we respond to them. I highly doubt many believed that she was fibbing. I didn't.. I do find though discussing their intimate interactions and his penis size and shape with anyone is wrong.. To do it on talk shows and in a book puts her lower than Trump in my view and that I thought was impossible to do.

One person returned 50 worth of drugs and food that have to be destroyed. Why do people ruin a good thing..
I totally agree with you @anastasia1009 .Quote:
