- - Is your glass half empty or half full? (https://www.quiltingboard.com/general-chit-chat-non-quilting-talk-f7/your-glass-half-empty-half-full-t54986.html)

Some days the glass must be emptied of the dregs that are in it, washed out, and filled with something refreshing.

So - a glass with something good in it - any amount - is a good thing.

I will go to read the vent because sometimes folks just need to air stuff out. I might have a solution to the problem. However, if it's a thread just to gripe about something, I go on to other things.

I'm not a Pollyanna, but I do try to look on the brighter side of things. I hope for the best & generally get it in some form. I just get a little frustrated when I'm trying to do that & folks just want to drag me down. But then again when that happens, I walk away from that person.

Totally agree. I'm bad about just hitting the Back button when I see things going down the toilet here. I need to try to help instead. Will try to remember that. :)

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

LOL...somebody willing to drag stuff out of the toilet...Yippeee!
I just hate that job ;) :lol:

Well my glass is neither a 1/2 full glass or 1/2 empty glass. My darn glass broke!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would say I am a 1/2 full person.

That is what that hand reacher is for. You know the one that they advertise for use with wheel chairs. Then I don't put my hand in the toilet.

My favorite saying is, "Well, if that's the worst thing that happens to me today, then I'm a lucky girl!"

I find those threads about shops particularly uncomfortable, I can't help thinking that is someone's livelihood and business being discussed, what if it's a one off, what if the customer was actually one of those customers from hell that can never be satisfied. You only get one side of the story, and the willingness of people to jump on the bandwagon and condemn so quickly always disturbs me. It's another Libran trait, the desire for justice and balance.

Lately I have noticed that there are a lot of really negative things being said about chain stores. What is really bothering me is that all of the stores are looped into the same category(poor service/poor classes/only out to make money etc...). Maybe it is just where I live, but I don't see the negative problems of service or classes with stores here. I don't mean to step on any toes and I am not reading those threads anymore because it is just too hard not to take it personally. I have had a rare complaint with these stores as well as the LQS but if I do I am going to them personally, not in a post they will neer see. Thanks for listening. I feel better now just having said this.

Roof over my head, food on the table, FABRIC TO SEW, MY cup is running over.
Thanks for this topic. I skip the whinners!
