Rammy's Ramblings

[greybeard]

You can only control your own life, and not even all of that.

 

[Baymule]

Keep being the good person that you are. Helping others is who you are. But temper that with good sense. If you are being used, then taper off or just quit responding. As you say, it quickly becomes a one way street, then it is time to make a turn and get off that street. And it certainly doesn't hurt to call the "user" to remind them of all that you have done for them and ask for help in return. In fact, that can be quite fun--and it has the added bonus of them NEVER calling you again!

Well, obviously, says @greybeard !
I have to concur with him.

Or MAYBE they will wake up and smell the roses (as it were). OK, I know that is less likely but sometimes people only look from one direction and not see from the other.

So true. Lately, when Im upset, bored, or want to jam, I listen to Bollywood workout radio on Pandora. Song Im jamming to right now is called Mahi Ve by Josh.......boogie boogie. So yeah, was and am upset about some things, but this music is my therapy now.

If, and this applies to all things and thru out life, you are doing good things expecting the same in return, then you are doing them for the wrong reasons.
Virtue, is it's own reward.

Do unto others as you would have done unto you............what goes around comes around..............

Something is bothering me. I have had people over the years say they are my friend, but then if I dont call them, or do something for them, they dont call me or anything. I have had people Ive kept their dogs for them, say, oh, we will always be freinds, but they dont call. Im always the one who calls. So I stop calling because its a two way street. To me, a true friend is someone who at least makes the effort to keep in touch, even if its a couple months or years. I mean, why is it me that always has to call? Yesterday, I texted a girl I used to work with at another place. We used to meet for lunch and all after I quit. Lately, whenever Ive texted her, she doesnt answer back. It hurts, you know? Makes me wonder if Im doing something wrong, since nobody seems to want to keep in touch with me or even answer me back and say, hey, Im busy.

Ok, now back to your regurlarly scheduled program...............

been there many many times. Im always the last one to text in a conversation.....

 

[Bills Vs Beaks]

[Rammy]

You said you were the last to reply to a text conversation. I guess nobody wanted to ruin your record.............teehee
