:thumbup: I like your way of thinking :thumbup:

I occasionally read some of these threads where people have huge challenges to deal with on an everyday basis - serious health issues, major family crises, unemployment - - -

So, the occasional clash/rudeness/stupidity one runs into is definitely in the "sand in your shoes" category. Doesn't really hurt one, but it is inconvenient and uncomfortable and ANNOYING!

Stop and dump the sand out, wipe one's feet off, and go on one's way.

Sometimes it is the "little things" though, that can really get our grundies in a big bunch.

Ever hear of the "kick the cat/dog syndrome"?

It's "random acts of kindness" in reverse.

Yes!!!!

well, I have not been on much lately due to computer problems, etc.
This post is making me smile wide, so I am either very happy today or maybe much more of a "glass half full" person than I realized.
Blue, the way you express yourself has always gave me pause or a giggle! :lol:
...standing in town square, having a moan at everyone who walks past...
hey you: "moan"
you too: "moan"...and "moan" again...lol...leave it to Mousie to be quite amused by the odd things ;)
:lol:

Kick my dog or cat and you will be sorry. I really don't get angry very much anymore, but if you hurt my animals that would be the thing to get me riled.

I have zero sense of humor when it comes to messing with my animals, too.

You make a good point Eddie! We all need to try and turn things around if they are headed in the wrong direction.

Have you guys not heard of that phrase before?
It's not literal..... it means taking your anger out on someone "below" you. Like your boss yells at you, so you yell at someone under you, or go home and "kick the dog". Trust me, it's not literal. :-)

I'm a full glass type of person most all of the time! This is a great thread! Thankyou Blue Chicken for starting it!!
