I’ve learned from experience that in many instances instincts it’s best to let the group speak on your behalf. To allow other people to beat themselves -and if they’re out of line let the group speak up. As with individual interactions call it’s, people are always looking for an excuse for their behavior -don’t give them one!

I notice in the little town that I live in that when I speak out against a (young) woman who is being rude -she has absolutely no respect for me (in her response) whatsoever. But went Ana has spoken up for me, their attitude becomes meek. I don’t know if it’s because there’s 2 of us, and we’re witnesses to their conduct.. Of course I’m talking about a working environment and this is an employee is an employee of a store or a business or doctor’s office… That’s correct, where I live employees of businesses (quite often) disrespect the customer.

NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE CIVILIZED [REFINED]!!! 🤷‍♂️

• Pettibon : This has come as quite a setback for us; it was too easy.
• Speed : Ain’t nothin’ in the rules about *easy*, Mr. Pettibon.
• Chaney : [putting on his shirt]  Anything wrong?Pettibon : What’s wrong, Mr. Chaney, is that you’re too good. You’re a ringer, Mr. Chaney.
• Speed : Dammit, my man won fair and square; give us our money, goddammit!
• Poe : [noticing several Cajuns walking up behind Pettibon]  Steady on, Speed. These boys are not refined.[notices one of the Cajuns has a pistol] 
• Poe : Somebody always brings a gun.
• Speed : [being pulled toward the car by Poe and Gayleen]  Oh, yeah! Well, the next time I come to this coonass place, I’m goin’ to bring a gun!
• Pettibon : [laughing]  You do that, Speed; just make sure it’s a great big one.[to his men] 
• Pettibon : That’s how it’s done.

MOST PEOPLE DON’T START FIGHTS THEY THINK THEY CAN LOSE 🤷‍♂️ (MOST PEOPLE)*

*Which brings me to another point -do you belive in fighting for the principle of the thing?

“I don’t bother striking back (retaliating) because I know you can’t hurt me”.

True power lies not in having to counter your advantage with my own, because I have already achieved THE ULTIMATE ADVANTAGE!

My grandmother always used to say “If you have enough money to pay your bills -Thank the Lord!” 🙏

I just paid my last bill of the month this morning – Thank you Lord! 🙏

If you think about the perfect balance of gravity between certain celestial bodies… God? Precision!

I often wondered -how a fly could fly around in a moving car? Why not impact the back window?

Let other people be who they choose to be; while you yourself be who God wishes you to be -Sounds pretty simple huh? 🤷‍♂️

IOW:

• Do what you’re supposed to do

• Don’t do what you’re not supposed to do

Without God were merely living a sham life. NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE. NO MATTER WHO WE HAVE. NO MATTER WHERE WE’RE AT!*

A lot of things are a big deal when I think I’m a big deal. A lot of things are not a big deal when I don’t think I’m a big deal.

There are always gonna be people in the world we love to deal with and people in the world we hate to deal with -It has always been that way and it probably always will.

This morning on the phone a gentleman was not being very courteous -and that of course is his issue. But once I started getting upset and was rude…. We both had a part, we both had an issue issue in it. All I had to do was let that man be who he was and walk away without without any responsibility for my part. How many of us struggle to do so though? All we can do is keep trying right!🤷‍♂️

You will hardly improve in a specific area by nthey are by not even giving things a second thought.

Look at what people in the Olympics go through in in order to be the very best.. Now spiritually speaking…. If we use the same approach approach as an Olympic athlete being trained… We’d hardly farewell with the neighbor across the street.

Before a person acts, they always justify:

•To themselves; even if only in that split second before they choose to act!

You have to watch out for people:

•In some instances there should be a sign on some of us which reads:

“HANDLE WITH EXTREME CAUTION”

There are some places in the universe where we… 🤔 perhaps it is our souls… that feel they belong.

A 2 in³ (or perhaps just a micron of a slice) piece of matter in the universe from a particular…. Contains more information than all the information thus far gathered by mankind to date.

In a nutshell

•P.P.F.P.P.T.

Maybe the Karlonas’ did me a favor:

•God does things as He does knowing…

•And of course we seldom thank Him for it because Him knowing us as he does – Most of us, can never quite seem to see past our own 👃s.*

Anyways, I have to take Daisy for her last walk today-she’s going back 🏡 to mama and her step papa. But I’ll tell you the rest of the story when I get back. Chow

*Most of us probably never see losing money as a good thing. Or seeing hard times as a good thing. Especially if we have a family to support.. I HATE TO SAY IT-But God knows better!

Another favorite “movie-quote”

“Rape me, kick me, beat… just don’t bore the hell out of me”.

It’s sad to say, but I get the impression that a lot of women would prefer drama in their life than boredom. And also, yeah stokama a lot of women with a low sense of self worth which society theusts upon them… After all, what self respecting women would engage in…….. No sir Kama a lot of the things women endure can only be explained by elosain’t by a low sense of self worth. Or a pension for the dramatic.*

On a high note, I will say that women are incredible when it comes to multi tasking. And and from what I understand they also can take pain a lot better than many men. I noticed when it came to certain funerals in our family that the women stepped forward in many cases more so than demanded.

*I can only say this about my personal experiences on this subject” I had more women to date when I was full of anger and completely (almost) dysfunctional than I do now. I’m far healthier now than I was when I dated Ana and Lenelle -Lenell’s gone (passed on 😔) and Ana has decided to go back to her husband permanently it appears

In a society such as ours where sex is treated executed in the same fashion as taken out the trash…. Washing the dishes…. I liked when there was a sense of shame, a sense of guilt, a sense of reservation about that particular area of humanity.

One thing I notice human beings require is stimulation.- Obvious you say? No, think about it 🤔 – Think about all the things we get ourselves into in the name of stimulation!o an! Think about all the things we things we accomplish that are really meaningless in the name of stimulation.

There’s 2 kinds of people in the world:

•The ones who have issues and refuse to do anything about them

•The ones who I have issues and do something about them.

A person who presumably has a leg up on their issues without having done any real work… it I said presumably!! Versus someone who has some fairly deep seated issues but is willing to work them out over time… Which do you think you’d be better off within the long run? Which which do you think you would be inclined to select as a friend or a partner at the onset? Exactly! That’s why there’s so much disappointment and Strife among peoples year after year, decade after decade. millennium after millennium – Decisions based on self which later came back to harm us. 🤷‍♂️

The 1st thing many of us have to get straight who have been dealt a bad hand in life is…”

•Are you absolutely sure, in the continuum of ever-changing life, I mean that’s not the end of the story… did you have been dealt a bad hand?*

°Life doesn’t know you or me anything – And even if it were true… I don’t claim to know everything! 🤷‍♂️

•Even if life did owe us -we probably wouldn’t get it back anyways.

*When I came in Alcoholics Anonymous I had 2 stipulations, the 1st was that I stay sober the other was that I never have to be alone. Imperial life has not turned out the way I planned it in sobriety. I planned on the $100000 a year job, the trophy wife, the 2.5 kids, the I’m at the boat, a trip to Europe once a year and a trip domestically once a year at least… retiring by the time I’m 50 blah blah blah

The only thing I’ve gotten out of it is that I’m still sober and healthy and.. A wealth of knowledge and wisdom I have a crew through life’s struggles all these years. I wouldn’t trade all that and what goes along with it for what I have today. My life is by no means. My life is by no means perfect and I am not happy as a Daisy with a lot of things… no pun intended Daisy… lol but the person that I have become trump’s anything and everything I could have gained outside of myself! Conpoint and my relationship with God…!

Why is in perfect and those of us who expected to be..

I want to go some place gentle and peaceful…..

Part of the problem I think I had growing up was that my grandmother was of a generation twice removed from myself and the peers I grew up with. I could probably relate more to the parents of my peers then my peers themselves. Just another obstacle I suppose!

“You have to think in 3-dimensions, like a Vegan”

Anyone on this planet who insists on having it all will eventually end up with nothing. You can’t have it all here on 🌎 It’s one of the laws

For many years in my relationships it was all or nothing. My way or the highway. Back pay for years of…. And in every case it always ended up nothing rather than all. 🤷‍♂️

God in – the 🌎 out!

I must decrease – so the He may increase!

Remember, it’s no sin to be subjected to something (against your will)!

Things in the world we think are perfectly harmless, even desirable… They really are the things that nightmares are made of.*

*Nightmare: Anything that prevents us from reaching our full God-given potential.

To call this project “SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE” some time back (3-4-5-6… years ago)
