You know how they always say crap runs downhill.. well I swear some days I'm at the lowest part of that hill.

At least as far as people wanting to complain to me.. but not take any advice, and I really don't have any words of comfort to even offer, because they wouldn't accept them anyway.

Too many people only think of themselves anymore.. sure, you always see people flock to a cause, or donate time/money to do good deed for someone else and that's all well and good. But I often wonder if the real reason we do that is for that good feeling we get, and not so much because we think it's the right or moral thing to do. I think that ties in to the lack of patience I see these days too. The modern world spinning by at a blazing pace, and everyone thinks they have to keep up.

Sorry if I offended anyone, just had to get some ramblings out of my head in about the only place I know I can have a word's peace without being criticized. I ought to keep a journal I could pass on to someone someday. Trouble is I don't know if anyone would read it anyway. Plus it's hard to convey my thoughts on any standard media, as if that makes any sense either.

Not sure where you're coming from but I'll say that the only reason I give to the drunk begging types is for me and not necessarily them. If they take the $ and make their lives just a little better so be it. Otherwise everyone has their own lines they have as far as all that stuff is concerned and we can't fault others for their views on giving. Hope their actions didn't hurt you Joel.

tc's got the same philosophy cluey. especially when their sign says "god bless" cuz she figures if they bring in the name of her god, what she does is between her and him, and what they do is between them and him.

as for me, i've seen way too many times someone run behind the bushes at 94 and snelling to grab their sign to start their "shift" that i'm way too cynical. besides, i'm usually in "driver carries no cash, he's married" mode anyway :smile:

Must be something in the air out here?

I'm still getting sucker-punched by the after-effects of a complicated root canal procedure. Hoping to feel good enough by Friday to go to MQT and get my spring/summer clothes, although with this weather, who needs spring/summer clothes?

Feeling like I'm winning this battle. The side of my face is not only not swollen anymore, but it is not buzzing anymore - hope it stays that way and the ache goes away quickly. Seems like all that is left now is discomfort related to the procedure itself. Thursday's x-ray will tell the tale. Hoping to feel well enough to go to MQT this weekend to get a few things I need and have been missing having with me.

ugh..

Ever since I borrowed my parents money it seems like I've been running into nothing but bills. When I had a healthy amount of money in my checking account, I barely seemed to have any bills, now that I'm low, everyone seems to want a piece.

I've been so close to being debt free, in fact I haven't carried a balance on a credit card in a few years. Now I'm dangerously close to carrying a balance on a card again.

I need to find cheap/free activities to do for a while... bag lunches for work too. Guess it's a good time/excuse to go on a diet... clean out the fridge..heh.

Why is is that most people never remember the good things you do for them, but never forget the times you screw up? I guess a hundred rights never make up for 1 wrong.

The worst for me is most of the screw ups are completely unintentional, the others are just conflicting reasons, or honest mistakes. It's enough to make me question why I spend so much of my life trying to be in peoples good graces. Why do I even want to be in their good graces? I guess because I don't want to be the jerk that doesn't care. Although, sadly the jerk that doesn't care often seems to have a lot less trouble in life.

Hey, KCOGRN,

All I can tell you is that you are letting your spirit/soul guide you, and that most of the world does not operate that way. You are a positive force, in a world of people who tend towards negativity. One of the most difficult tasks for the healers of the world - and you are so clearly one of them - is to let go of the outcomes. Continue to do what you do, from your loving soul, but always check your boundaries. Once I've been burned (by people who can't see all the good I do, but remember every last little screw-up) I spend some time before I see them again, thinking of what I will say if it happens again. I try to frame it from a place of compassion, but nonetheless, make sure that it clearly lets them know I won't tolerate their hurtful comments anymore. It is, of course, a skill that takes awhile to perfect! I hope this helps. I have been where you are. It can feel very lonely. Please know that all that is good supports you and loves you!

We had a closing ceremony for a group I have volunteered with for 15 years at my church. As it stands now, we've suffered lower and lower attendance over the past few years, and the lead person in the group resigned, stating they've done it for 26 years and need a break. No one else has stepped up to take over, so I assume next year we won't be running the program.

It's kind of tough to be done with something you have done for so long that it's just become part of your routine. Other volunteers have come and gone from the program, but I've helped ever since I could. I guess that's the other tough part, just seeing the group degrade to ending on a bad note, and no one else seemed to care.

I guess it frees up a few hours of time for me a week, but I'll miss it none the less. I don't really feel like volunteering in another capacity nor to any other organization either. As it is, I spend well over 80% of my days doing things for other people, possibly more, I really don't have time to figure that all out.

Tired... need some rest.

I'm sorry to hear that happened. I sure understand how disappointing that is. Sounds like those few hours that were freed up can be put to good use for your own rest and rejuvenation. People who help others can always use some good measures of self care. Take care of YOU!

katsmeow

take it from me - a professional volunteer :wink: ... you will feel sad for a while. Then a month or two from now you will feel like you should have stepped up and kept things going, really wanting to go back in time... about 6 months from now you will begin to feel refreshed, glad you have the time to yourself, starting to get your energy back.

Then this time next year, with a new sense of purpose and energy you will find a new cause and get right back into volunteering! :grin:

Trash truck beeping and clunking at 4:50 am, even after they were notified by the city of IGH of the 6 am ordinance.

Boy do I hear you....no pun intended.

We were staying at a B&B in St. Augustine, when they did the same thing. The clanking and beeping is really loud in those narrow streets at 5am.

This trash-truck annoyance has been an ongoing saga. One time, they were here at 2:50am, but at least twice a week I'm awakened between 4:30 and 4:50am. After about 20 minutes of beeping and clunking, there is no way I am going to be able to get back to sleep right away. So most of those days, I get up and head for work early.

Right now, with a new grandbaby in the family, DIL recovering from every complication in the book, and still having to go to work every day, I am so short on sleep, I don't need to be up in the dark.

Clue Master

You can hear that damn truck over at your place too? It starts here and goes from there. And they'll stay out front waiting for 6 until they can pick up my trash. All the time beeping and idling loud. I'm glad you said something. Is it a rule that all trash has to be off the streets by 7am? I mean come on. :coolfrown:

Grats on the new baby btw :smile:

The ordinance states pickup may not occur before 6am and may only occur M-F. Call Nicole at city of IGH at 450-2491 with the name of the hauler and any details about times and location.

Does that apply to commercial properties like restaurants? A lot of them need daily pickup or the rats will go wild......not to mention the stink.

I'm not sure whether the ordinance is different for commercial pickup. Nicole read me the ordinance, and I didn't think to ask about specifics.
Fri, 06/03/2011 - 12:45 PM Permalink
Clue Master

Well they don't officially pick up until 6 on the dot so I can't complain. Other than to cite the noise ordinance for hanging out front from 5:30 to six doing paperwork and what seems to be practicing their backup skills. Heh :coolfrown:
Fri, 06/03/2011 - 6:12 PM Permalink
Eags

I think being out there with their trucks running, and doing the beep-beep-beep backup thing should fall under the ordinance.

If it is bothersome, at least you know who to call. Nicole is very sympathetic and seems like she is really trying to help resolve the situation.
