Can I ask why so many of you have closed comments for non followers? I’ve been off line for a while and was shocked, on returning, how few posts allowed me to make a simple reply. I thought this was “social” media.

My insurance company just informed me that until I am able to prove to them that generic insulin does not work for me, they will not cover the cost of name brand insulin. No idea what kind of time period or what amount of damage my organs have to suffer as required proof…

But, as always, thanks for the constructive reply.

I’m far too old to care.

Dream last night: I was in Elon Musk’s house during a party. He decided he wasn’t going to let me leave. My cousin appeared. He started threatening me by threatening her, pointing a knife at her. He got distracted, and we snuck out using my parents to hide behind while they were leaving. 🤔

My hubby’s favorite. What whiskey do you prefer?

And to the rest of you who may be looking on saying, “stop, just don’t bother!” Yeah, well, that’s just not me! 🤣

But I’m hard pressed to understand why I am required to agree, and if *I* disagree, why my opinion then becomes invalid. 6/done

My opinion is just that. An opinion. Wholly subjective. Yet a freedom we were all once able to enjoy. You can disagree with my opinion—feel free. If you found the statements made by Mr. Woods relatable, wonderful! That’s your freedom, your choice AND your opinion. 5/

You remarked on my behavior. (What behavior?) Now I am “shitting on a guy” because I expressed an opinion contradictory to yours, and finally, because my opinion differs from yours, it (and others I have, apparently,) are “not remotely worth having.” 4/

Here’s why I stopped engaging with you about my original comment. You came out, unprovoked, swinging. First you meant to “challenge anyone who has a problem with it.” Then, *I* “didn’t seem to have a point.” I became an “absolute asshole,” because I didn’t take your bait. 3/

The POINT of my opinion was that MANY people who struggle for a living every day may not necessarily care to hear from a celebrity, on national television, in the terms he used. I will admit, I did not hear the entire interview, and that would be my fault for only honing in on one soundbite. 2/

Ok, let’s go back to the beginning. You wanted my explanation for “shitting on” Mr. Woods. It was never about the pool itself. So, imo, your original reply seemed misguided BUT the fact of your statement HAD BEEN acknowledged previously by me. This is why I asked for your explanation. 1/

There is always a chance if miscommunication in text, and if that is the case, I apologize. However, having now been called an asshole, I feel this limits the need for any more courtesy than I have already given when I offered to rescind my opinion—which clearly was offensive to you.

And I appreciate your explanation, but attacking me about my personal opinion (that I “don’t seem to have a point,” in your estimation) is probably not how I would start civil discourse.

You know what? Let’s just forget I offered my OPINION at all, shall we?

Many did and do, especially in the west, as I mentioned in my post. Explain your point.

Hoo-rah for the siesta and the “we’ll open when we open” society! As an American consumer, it would drive me insane, but as a small business owner, I would totally dig it!

I hate to say it out loud, but the majority of those in the front two rows looked horrified, like any one of them could be next!

I always say if there’s a room full of guys listening to my phone calls and reading a file on me, they probably stamped my manila envelope with “Napping would be more worth your time”

That’s incredibly sweet, but, no. I really do suck at drawing. As my mil used to say, “I can’t draw a stick figure even with a ruler.” 😜 I’ll forever have to stick with photoshop instead.

I go back out of morbid curiosity (armchair psychologist, if you will,) but it’s getting to be too much even for that reason.

The fact that he tried to garner sympathy from every day folks by saying, “one day you’re in your swimming pool and the next it’s all in flames.” I live out west. I know lots of people have pools, but the optics, ya know?

I’m goin’ to Goodwill to check out the stuff the queens got rid of. That’s my happy place! 😂

I think back to the 90s grunge era when independently owned coffee shop/dives were huge, and you could order drinks like the double gut bomb! Good times!

This is why I prefer a good psychological eff you up forever movie! 😂

I am honestly stunned by the amount of kow towing these companies/countries (what have you) are doing to one, imo, once fairly innocuous, yet dangerously ignorant, person. (I’m unused to being shocked by human reactions.) What in God’s good name does he have on them?

“Ignorance is Strength “

I was always taught that critiques should come in a sandwich form—positives on the front and back with any negatives in the middle. Human nature tends to key in on the first and last thing they read.

I guess the surgeon general’s warning wasn’t effective after all? 😂
