You have the floor as well as our undivided attention. So speak up

and be heard. No need at all to be timid. Parse it. Spell it out...
That I have far too many opinions and I enjoy arguing way too much. On some web sites (including this one) I end up erasing my eloquent soap boxes, knowing that deep down the world isn't all that interested in my many opinions (some of which have been known to change on a whim). 😞 Then again, sometimes I just don't care 😀

When I bought my house, a friend shook my hand and said, "Welcome to the class of citizens called 'Home-moaners!' " How true it's been, lol :-{

Think it was the comedian Norm Crosby who authored the

book, "Anybody Who Owns Their Own Home Deserves It."

Oh great, I was going to save some gas and stay home this afternoon, but now I have to get dressed, drive to the store, and get me some fine Nationals. Better pick up some charcoal and cook 'em on the grill....let's see chips...dill pickles...BEER. Here in Tejas we wrap them in tortillas, ah hell we wrap any food in tortillas! (cept maybe soup). Thanks Gramps for putting a picture of those great dogs in my head. 😠 Be back in a little bit......

My beef is the utter futility of trying to reason with people who have closed their minds; and yet I persist in trying. That is a somewhat thick steak, and I wish I could apologise to all the people who have had my various theories foisted upon them in spite of their inalienable right to disagree with me. Although I agree wholeheartedly with Wayne Dyer's promulgation that love is "allowing people to be whatever they choose to be without imposing any of your standards on them" nevertheless I wish the practical application thereof was as straightforward as the theory.
( If I was ever invited to preach a sermon, I guess the theme would be somewhere in this post) 🙂

You've got $37.17 in your pocket. Spend some.

Save some... still two days to go until June 1.

Why don't you use your soapboxes for soapbox races instead of erasing them?

No, no, no! It's short and sweet! It doesn't put people into categories! It's easy to understand! Go back to your desk and write a paragraph (5 sentences) about being nice to your elders. Or elms. Poplars are nice, too.
Well said

Muppy, isn't that really the essence of the poignant, often painful, virtuous aspect of personal love... you respect

another person's selfhood too much to ever attempt to superimpose your own will on theirs and too much restraint

to run roughshod over the excercise of their own free will, painful as the outcome and/or consequences may be?
