An indication of The Times we are living in:

•People should be surprised when you don’t apologize not when you do;

•People should be surprised when you’re dishonest not when you’re honest

•A weak man with a strong will is stronger than a strong man with a weak will.

Sidenote: I started out preceding the writing or principle with the scenario which brought to my attention the ensuing principle.. But very quickly I found out that it was too difficult, too time consuming and that in many instances by the time II attempted to write down the scenario I had forgotten the principal.

Ever find yourself somewhere calm anywhere, and all of a sudden you look over and there’s a creature right there next to you? I remember at a keg-party 🥳 once, a man had a black widow under his armpit-alive and crawling. Ewwww…

When my aunt and Uncle approached me about some money they wanted to give me for a house, I thought they were doing it out of love and not because I had been there helping them for the last several years. When I stopped helping them, and their granddaughter and husband started helping them come moneys were shifted away from what I was to get and what my cousin his cousin was to get -towards her and her husband. I did what I did out of love -not for 💰. All those years assisting them, and I never even knew I was getting any. It just seems to me that what they did, like so many other things they’ve done in the past, was done out of a sense of gratitude, or indebtedness- Every time I did a little something for my aunt she gave me a little something, whether I wanted it or not -EVERY TIME! My brother for some strange reason who knows nothing about his father’s side of the family, is the same exact way. You give him something and he wants to give you something right there and return on the spot. They just can’t seem to receive out of love without some need to give back. But the thing is this; outside of this scenario they never give! I remember doing some yard work for my Uncle when I first got sober, and he offered me $20 I turned it away. I said no it’s OK but he insisted. And without even thinking these words came out of my mouth, you wanna pay me so that Idon’t come back later saying you owe me. And with a sly little gesture, he acknowledged that. It’s sad growing up around people like that because my grandmother who raised me wasn’t… 😔

They say the way to a man’s ❤ is through his stomach. In some cases you could say it’s through a woman, or through his labido The way to a woman’s ❤ is through her children.
