I use to get a little piss at times when dealing stupid people. I quickly noticed no matter how hard I kick and scream, it made little to no difference and I was the one that got worked up over it. Hey man, sometimes I have to do that just to get that release and off my chest. When we were kids, we hated old people especially old men. They would give us kids so much siht on the bus, on the pier, the broadwalk or our own park (some we deserved). I tried to make everyone's day a little better inturn I feel good about myself. Oh yeah, there are times I am the perfect old bastard. Nope, I generally no longer care and let it roll of my back but there are those times... Such as LGBT or DEI siht they try to impost on me. I shut it out immediately.

Please, please...

Be happy and enjoy every day.

A friend of mine has had nearly all (excluding me) of her friends die, and her mother, in the last 12 months. Now I've just had a phone call to say her doc had just read her blood test results and called an ambulance.

I used to get upset and try to "fix" people's obvious mistakes. Funny enough, as I grew older I let go of that impulse. How are people going to learn if you don't let them make mistakes? By letting stupid people do stupid things, I am doing society a favor. Sometimes I even smile.
