I went to town hall to pay a ticket and there was a disgruntled man there ranting and raving at this poor young clerk...she was getting upset and he continued his verbal tirade about some judge, being a pedophile,etc. He was quite loud and very verbally abusive. Needless to say,I paid my ticket and left. Got a haircut and felt great so I stopped at Walmart...I use the riding carts as it hurts to stand for more than 15 minutes. I am cruising through the aisles and this womwn slams her cart into me. At first I thought it was an accident...then she looked at me and said'You people!" and huffed....What a meanie! So i went down a few aisles to finish my shopping and evidently got in her way(again) She started yelling at me and I said"What is your problem"...then she really got mad and called me a variety of names which I won't repeat. I got so scared I left. I was actually shaking...why are peole so angry.I try to se the innocence in everyone and figured she is unhappy...But geez!!!!! It doesn't cost anything to be nice.Sharonn
Toughen up doll. It's life. Mean people suck. You've got such a tender heart that you're a good target for people like that. I wonder how that woman would have reacted if you had yelled right back at her? She probably saw you as being weak because of the cart...don't worry though, karma has a way of coming back. People who treat people like that? Good things do not happen to them. Love, Lisa
Sharron, you should of ran her over, backed up and ran her over again. Seriously, there are a lot of angry people out there. Forget it.
I am such a wuss....mean people do suck and karma is for real...Lisa...how are you feeling? I cannot believe how you have bounced back after such a serious surgery? Oh BTW..."Other White Meat' is my nickname(black Bf) When I saw the pic of that cat I had a great laugh..presuming it wasn't on the menu. Love, S
Apparently the joke about the cat offended some and I'm so sorry for that. It was just meant to be funny. I'm glad you thought it was funny.
I'm doing really good. I did bounce back quickly and I think it's because I'm young and I was healthy to begin with. My docs were pretty impressed. I can't imagine though, an older person going through that. How are you doing on your taper?

It's been a challenge but I am proud...I started on 90-100 mgs, a day and now at 50......I am adjusting and using 800 motrin in between. My Dr. doesn't like me using the motrin(kidneys) but I need pain relief. I feel very positive about it and I am in the "clean and serene" mindset...You are amazing...do you feel better now...your heart...energy wise? It will be a celebretory day when I can log on and say I am 100 percent clean..it is becoming more of a reality now that I have succeeded thus far.I am going to the movies..winter sucks! Have a great night .Love, S
Enjoy the movies Sharon...have a really good weekend.
Sharon please be really careful with the Motrin. I almost really screwed my kidneys up. Only because of my 3 month blood work did they catch the problem. I was taking 800-1200 as it really helped with the pain. But man its dangerous.
Please watch your kidneys. Do you have blood work done regularly?
Feel good--Jeff

Sharon, I'm a wuss too. We can start a club. The "I hate meanies but want to run away and cry when I encounter them" club.
Whew.

Sp..just remember to have thick skin here. You'll be fine.
Sharon,you amaze me,youre doing so well.Keep on keeping on girl.Your determination is something else.
It is sad to see so many hostile people out thereLast week i was in line at Target(customer service)and this woman,witha little boy,was screaming at this young girl who worked there.The young girl was doing nothing wrong,she was trying to explain to the lady she had to fix the problem the cashier had made on her receipt.This woman was so irate,she said she wanted to see the manager immediately.The young girl told her she would have to wait a minute while she found the manager,the woman screamed i want the managerNOWE,then she turned to those of us in line behind her(including myself)and said"do you see how this young lady is treating me"...the poor girl was almost in tears and all i could think of was my son at 18 when he worked there,if someone talked to him that way...anyway,i spoke up and said"yes mam,i do,and shes being very polite and trying to explain the problem to you,you are thew one being rude" Her jaw dropped and she grabbed her receipt and left without getting her problem fixed.
Some people are just walking time bombs.It would suck to be them huh?~
Hope youre having a nice weekend(i read youve gone to the movies,relax and enjoy)~KIM

Sharon, I work with the public everyday and there isn't a day that I don't have to deal with that one unhappy patient who wants to be rude. It use to get to me where I just wanted to say to them well never mind I won't post what I wanted to say. I have learned over the past year to just let it go. I just smile and say have a nice day. I'm sorry you had to deal with all that today but you showed you were the better person. Shantel
I gave someone a ride today...
They needed help gathering their work (a bunch of artwork), loading it up, bringing it to the Visual Art Center, putting it out, meeting with the faculty for critique, loading it all back up, blah, blah.
It was really rainy and cold today. Anyway, I said sure, I would help this gal out and we went in my vehicle...(Honda Element, lots of storage space). Anyway, as I was driving I stopped for one car trying to pull out onto a four lane against traffic...then a little further up the road, a lady who was crossing that same four way without a rain coat or umbrella.
The gal whom I was helping started yelling obscenities at the delay. She didn't even realize she was doing it. I guess she was in a hurry, and I wasn't moving fast enough...and she was fatigued (critiques are kind of a brutal thing)...and of course, no one but me heard her and she wasn't yelling at me...more, at the situation, like: "I wish all these %$@^%$&#@ people would get the $^%$#@&* out of the &&^%$%$#&^ way.
I just kind laughed a little, looked straight ahead....she heard herself and then she said..."OMG, that woman didn't even have an umbrella did she?"...I smiled and said, "No".
I think we are all so freaked out by our own stuff all the time we forget that everyone else is too. I don't know if it is money, or time demands, or what but something has definitely got the culture popping with ANGST. lol.
Gotta slow down.....and Kim, I am so glad you said something! Good for you!

Thanks guys...you always make me feel better...(((Hug))))) S.
When I was around 14, I had a job as a busboy/dishwasher. One day, as I was cleaning tables, I noticed a lightbulb out on one of the ceiling lights. I went and got a bulb and stood on the chair and tried to change it. I wasnt quite high enough so I used the table to give me a little boost. I changed the bulb. When I got back down, an old lady at a near by table yelled at me and said "That's disgusting! You stood on that table! Do you know how dirty that is?!?"..I thanked her, promptly sat down, took off my shoes and wiped them down with the dishrag..and thanked her for reminding me how dirty my shoes got from standing on a table. I got fired.
just keep smiling and never let anyone steal your joy inside your heart......
