Litiquette IV

[Suz_anne]

Springing ahead messes me up for a few days, but I get ridiculously happy each evening when we get extended daylight. All last week, I was annoying my husband with "Just think, in a week it'll be light until 7:52pm! (7:53pm, 7:54pm...)"

I know it's silly, but I feel like there's so much more time to get stuff done.

In the fall, I like the time change because I'm ready to hibernate.

Edit: And hell, yes re: TWD.

Here in Europe it won't happen for two more weeks. But it is getting an annoyance.

I remember when it started -I was just a schoolgirl at the time- it were the dairy farmers protesting the most against it. Because they couldn't just milk the cows an hour earlier, they had to be accustomed to it slowly. Which meant rescheduling things twice a day over a week for the farmers.

The path forward. I think we all want it to be as simple, straight and clear as possible. Sure we don't really mind if it meanders a bit as there's always pretty scenery along the way but we'd prefer to avoid the sharp turns, U-turns, and roundabouts. We also know they are inevitable. When they come along how do you course correct? Do you stop and pull out a map, or do you just plow ahead assuming you'll find your way? Is there a better way?

 

[dutchrain]

I used to plow ahead, now I stop a moment and try to decide which way might be the best.

Sometimes I wish I could look on a map. And sometimes I even wish there was one route marked. But … That would mean knowing what is going to happen, and this would be boring as hell after a while.

Is there a better way? I don't know.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I don't understand the question. Is this a metaphor?

I'll try though...

I suppose I try to make things go as smoothly as possible. Sometimes that mean dealing with the new path. Sometimes that means reworking some stuff.

 

[ChainedUp]

Damn, if Pmann isn't following along

A different one, a little more direct: what is the limit of your generosity? How much are you willing to give up to help others. Sure, I realize circumstance pays a large part and so does familiarity. But in general, are you willing to make yourself uncomfortable to help another?

*chuckle* if my previous username didn't give it away, I have very little trouble giving of myself.

Actually, I struggle with not giving up too much. I spent the last ten days out of town to help someone I love- and now I won't see my boyfriend for over a month (he left while I was gone, I travel for work this week when he's back, then he leaves again before I get back). I literally give until it hurts, and then give more. It's almost a character flaw.

I plow ahead when I have to. Dangerous curves and sharp turns don't bother me too badly, sometimes they make a dull ride much more thrilling.

There are some days I wonder where the hell I'm at and need a map for guidance, but for the most part, when it comes to my personal life, I LOVE to meander. I think I've learned and gained quite a bit in doing so....pleased with the fun I've had along the way.

Yes, I am, and then I dig a little deeper and give some more.

As far as my path, if we're speaking metaphorically, I don't look for a map, as I know I would only see the page and never the entire picture. There are times when I put my head down and just plow through, but more often than not, there are times to keep my eyes open for the ones that have the wisdom, and then I stop and ask for directions. No matter the direction I'm taking, I seek to find the beauty in the scenery, even when I am lost.

Always difficult to post after this lady...so articulate.
More often than not, I plow through. I analyze everything and rarely make significant life choices without thinking long and hard about it first. I define my own path as much as I can but have those people in my life that are always willing to supply direction when I do get lost.

I give as much of me as I can to those I love, and am willing to go out on a limb for those that I do not know as well..but I have limits, I learned to have them the hard way.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I'm aware that you have to be reasonable with what you give and the time you give. It's like people who try to save those who can't be saved- both end up drowning.

I believe every person should give of themselves sacrificially. However, I believe giving too much does no good for anyone and I think that people should see that in themselves.

Typically someone will give and give. Then they snap because they've given too much. And now all anyone remembers is the batshit crazy person who snapped whilst helping so and so.

 

[Lord Pmann]

And to all you fuckers who claim to be selfless givers....

Where were you a few days ago when my soft heart was distraught after being told I wasn't charming!!?

Not a single consolatory tit pic for the wounded. Selfless givers my ass!

 

[Paul_Chance]

When it comes to the path of life, I don't have the illusion that the path through life is going to be smooth, so I anticipate the sudden events and have alternate paths already planned out in my mind. It something arises and there is no alternative, then I tend to stop, assess, and plan out the path from there.

I am very generous with time and resources for people I consider close to me and strangers on the path. However, just because someone wants something doesn't mean I'm going to give it too them.

I would have sent Pmann a boob shot, but somehow I don't think it was my boobs he was interested in. They're kind of flat and ordinary and I always pictured him as a spectacular boob aficionado.

Good question.
Yes. I do it every day.
Now it's not uncomfortable, it's carefully resigned to what is. A reward sometimes, but usually, no reward, a lot of work, and much stress. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

This lifetime has been everything but simple, straight & clear.

I have no trouble giving, at least up to the point where someone begins to consider it their due, their entitlement.

On the flip side. I hate when somebody pushes things on me in the spirit of helping, then consider it their right to butt into my life.

**NOTICE**

I'm headed off on assignment for the next few days. Rather than burden someone with the leadership role and daily question asking, I'm going to put the room in the hands of the collective good. I trust the sum of the parts will create a whole worth reading.

I'll be back by the weekend to tear down the streamers and clean up the mess left behind. I know it's going to happen, I might as well accept it

Make sure you bring back cleaners strong enough to clean the stains left in the linoleum floor from the streamers that fell, got wet & were left there.

Careful - We're a wild bunch

Oh good. You enjoy "assignment" and we'll make a mess to clean up. Complete with Little Sister's obscene links
