Wacky World

All the Philosophizing  in the world does not do you much good when people are just Whacked in the Head !

I don't get it...I know from personal  experience some of it is not a choice some of it is how we are wired. However we do have some who choose to be Victims, Martyrs or Bullies !  I have a slightly better time with the Victims and Martyrs than the Bullies.
Workplace Bullies are selfish people who storm around and use their bad moods,petty tyrannies and other issues to create drama and to avoid work and to get their way. I know it's their form of self protection.....but hey, we all have out own problems and issues.

Messengers come in all forms

A double dose of peace. . Messengers come in all forms not only human. Sometimes we see a piece of paper on the sidewalk, or catch a glance of a bird out of the side of our eyes, or hear a dog barking. There is meaning in all of it. Today, be aware of all the things you see and hear. Ask yourself what the world is showing you along your path.

Coo Coo For Toilet Tissue

Just wondering if an entire industry can be known to attract people whose orbit is just a tad left of center and with a wobble ? (Myself Included) The current group of Funny-Bones I'm a workin' with are a pretty " Eclectic Lot" even more so than the usual rag tag bunch of Turd Herders...

State Farm is pulling their Home Owners coverage out of Florida !
We vote that any company that chooses to do so should have to pack up and take all their business, including auto coverage with them. We know people who had the same company for 30 years (without a claim) that have been dropped by their homeowners company.

Thursday, Jan. 15th..... Sigh, just got home from my Bariatric surgery support group. Tonight's weight was 190 lbs.
It's so nice to have a happy dog (Bella) and a happy man (Dick) waiting at the door.
Course, a little of Dick's happiness is not as bright and shiny as usual due to the root canal he had today ( oh joy )
