Which is why I try to focus on those who can muster a modicum of respectful discourse, regardless of subject matter or different view points. No need to up my BP meds at this point, tank you berry much.
PS: Face to face also doesnāt allow for spewing paragraph after paragraph of angry rants, then slapping a smile emoji on it to imply friendliness or āj/k.ā But thatās just more of that PA shit I canāt stomach.

I was an admin on a site once, and the few affirmatively bad apples made it hell for the rest of us - admins and members both. I have always had a rule that Iād never post anything online that I wouldnāt attach my real identity to, but from what I experienced, a lot of folks donāt share that way of doing things.

See, the thing with my groups isā¦ youāre out after ONE personal attackā¦ unless itās not terribly egregious, then just a warning. But the second offense is a strike-out.
I cherish my inner peace, what can I say

I see we have the same zeal for organization. Messy desk is a sure sign of genius sitting behind it.

I learned early in life that Mark Twain was right . . . to be a good liar you have to have a good memory. My memoryās not so good, so I tend to just be me. I have, however, come across more than a few folks on line who live a very full fantasy life. If it makes them feel better, who am I to judge?
IRL I really have no choice. Iām told I have the worldās worst poker face.

My daughter adopted a pup yesterday. Heās about 6 mos old, some retriever mixed breed the shelter thinks, but I also think thereās some bull terrier in there - his face is wider than his waist, or whatever the part of a dogās back is just ahead of his hips is called. I think heās going to start putting on weight and maybe more height yet pretty quickly. Heās already a bit taller and longer than my old lab/springer mix we got from HS.
She and her younger sister first saw him Saturday at the shelter, but he was a new accession and hadnāt been neutered yet and wasnāt officially up for adoption. She already had planned a day off work yesterday (stacked up all her annual med appointments). Although he wasnāt listed on the shelterās website yet, we took a chance and ran down between her appointments, and they were happy to have her adopt.
Heās sweet but really weird in one particular. He fears any transition. Doorway? Got to carry him through. Stairs? Scared scared scared, doesnāt even want to try. Elevator? Carry him on, and then back off again. Have to pick him up to get him into the carās back seat and then pick him up to get him out.
Iām trying to figure out what could have caused him to be so afraid of doorways and stairs and what not.
Meanwhile, after several tries this morning sheās gotten him to where, if she drags him down half a flight of stairs, heāll walk beside her the rest of the way down. But then to exit the stairs, heās still scared of going through the doorway. She took 1/2 day off work this morning and I told her to keep going down the stairs every half hour to see if he gets used to it, and to also reverse herself mid-flight and see if heāll go up the stairs starting from mid-flight (to take that initial step out of the equation).
So sheād had him down the stairs several times and out for walks, when she called me about an hour ago to say it might be working. Then had to cut the call short because despite being out for a walk just minutes before, he decided to pee on the floorā¦

Iāve seen videos of dogs who can only go through doorways backwards. Pets be weird.
