    Cranky recognizes and responds to cranky very easily D. Doesn't it? It is a very tight bond. I've have had a lot more time to be cranky than you although I'm not so sure I'm better at it than you are. It matters not. Thank you for your reply! :)

    2.  When it matters

    I could not figure out how to also include that I do NOTHING if my paycheck is involved.  I kind of side with the GOP bobbleheads sometimes on that fear.  (kidding) 

    I WOULD LIVE ON THE STREET HAND TO MOUTH BEFORE I WOULD EVER SCREW ANOTHER HUMAN BEING TO GAIN ANY ADVANTAGE.  At least I can stand by that one.

    LOL

    Happy Saturday and thanks for always talking to me. 

    Love ya

    Backatcha lady. Mostly we are two peas in a pod.  Sometimes we're not. So what? Thank you for your reply Sharon and Happy Saturday. Comparing miseries heat-wise. Next Wednesday will be 108 here in Hemet, Ca. What will it be in your little neck of the woods?. The hottest we've had this year was 115. Now lay me out and let me know how much WORSE you have had it in Arizona. I'm sitting down. I can take it! :)

    You just laid me out.  THAT IS HOT POTATOS.  Or is it potatoes?

    The latter.

    LOL
    Right now we have monsoon weather.  UGH.  I like humid but this is like a very warm sauna.  Takes all the starch out of you.


    Stay cool, my friend  (I think we have reached the double digits of 110 plus but not hideous for weeks yet.   That is August)

    When responding to another person (real life or on the internet) I try to abide by "Treat others how you want then to treat you".  Not an easy task, let me tell you.  Therefore I TRY to respond kindly, although sometimes I fail miserably at it.  I try NEVER to respond in kind (2 wrongs don't make anything right).  I'll ignore if I have nothing to say, if I have no opinion, or if I'm really angry.   I'm not perfect and sometimes I respond in a hurtful way (and 99 times out of 50 I deeply regret what I've said).  I'm ashamed to say that there have been times when I have responded in kind - and not one of those times was anything productive ever accomplished; in fact, just the opposite.  Sadly, there have been many times when I should have ignored but instead I just had to get my two-cents in.  And  many times that caused other people to be hurt (which in turn makes me feel hurt).

    I usually go with the "stoke economy" paradigm. 

    I studied Transactional Analysis years ago.
