Wow is this ever true! I know two people who spent years being angry at everyone and at the world. Both have now graduated from that part of their life.
Yep, prezactly true. And I still know a few folk that I can piss off with just a couple of precisely placed words. I know one of them that it will only take one word.
Can’t I feed ‘em just once??? I promise to be good the rest of the year. Really.
“The battle they’re fighting isn’t with you, it’s with themselves.” That’s often true, I think. And yes, it isn’t worth discussing anything because they just get more and more cantankerous.

I went out and bought Sultanas and Caster Sugar and all those other crazy ingredients you use and I warmed up my oven and all….
I want my RECIPE!!!!!!

Gigi - Life is far too short for conflict.
Nancy - My routine is out of kilter. One of these weeks I’ll sort myself out.
Dianne - I have well paid my dues to stress over the years, now I choose to live without it.

Delores - The world is full of folk like that, although it is not always easy, the secret is to smile and move on.
Fossie - For the reminder of that wonderful word ‘prezactly’, I;ll let you away with it…. just the once mind! Then behave!

I also tend to avoid negative people. And negative blogs.

You could not have posted this quote at a better time, GM. I am going to forward it to someone who is in dire need of this advice.

Tilly - Anyone can have an off day or week, but the non stop moaning-mini’s are not for me.
Maxi - Glad to help.

Nick - If someone wants to make their own blood pressure boil, there is no reason for me to follow suit. I prefer a calm life.
