Glen Beck did that to me until I quit!


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Folks with negative and bad attitudes don't last long in my small circle of friends, family and acquaintances. That is one thing I can not deal with very easily. If I see that trend surfacing I won't let it go too far without speaking my mind or them changing their behavior in some manner.

No place in a positive motivated individuals life for that behavior. I have known a few in my days. Folks like that have lots of baggage, will in time, start to impact your life in some manner if it hasn't already. I once had a sister. I am now an only child.

Life is short when you look at the long haul. Stay happy and content in your own circles as is possible, if not, you may be to blame.

Had a friend like that. Another friend put an Eeyore Decal on the back window of his truck. He asked his wife if he was that bad and she confirmed it. Been better since.

Comes in your house without knocking and then answers your phone and tells people they have the wrong number?? No way I would put up with all that. You need to start locking your doors.

Should have been locking the doors all along!

Someone gave me some good advice years ago. “ surround yourself with good people and things will be easy for you”. He was right.

Negativity is poison. Let your friend know your thoughts. If he doesn’t change. Cut ties with him and explain why.

I don’t hang around with people that are always negative. We can all have a bad day. But some people live life in a negative atmosphere. You are who you hang around with. They will drag you down.

Way over stepping. God designed me for people like that but never sent one my way. Set him straight!

I had to be in my daughter's house a short while back to help her with a project, while my ex was there at the same time. I do not interact with my ex normally, after 2 hours I texted my current wife and said I clearly remember why I left my ex!! My even bigger pet peeve is those people who whine and complain non-stop, but make absolutely no effort to change what they are whining about, but maybe that is their intention all along.

I gave up watching the news and reading newspapers decades ago. Nothing but gloom and doom. Especially the big city news stations. Who needs or wants to hear about the latest murders, muggings, and deaths in fires every night?


Eh...wot?
