Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for August 27, 2019

Very good advice, Aunty.

Good idea. What if it’s a parent?

I’ll go for petting a dog or watching a funny movie. Or listening to the wit and lack of wisdom from Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

Now, where is the ‘Delete All’ button?

Sometimes just Delete won’t do, Aunty… then, you have to go for Control+Alt+Delete!

Drink so many boxes of wine that you even forget who you are.

But, do you dare to take the ultimate step…unfriend them?

Look at the Queen of Mean playing Dear Abby.

“These are the times that try men’s (and women’s) souls . . .” my circle of REAL friends has always been about half a dozen; but now my circle of acquaintances is shrinking, too. . .the older you get, and so forth.

George Bernard Shaw: People always get tired of one another. I grow tired of myself whenever I am left alone for ten minutes, and I am certain that I am fonder of myself than anyone can be of another person.

Amen!

It also is useful to apply that standard on all the political commentary, professional or amateur, as well. Way too much angst to which I refuse to allow to darken my days.

Pet a dog works for me.

Amen sister, been doin’ JUST that for years, includes a son as well!

I just Smile at and Ignore the Negative People as This Really Pisses Them Off and They Don’t Know How to Deal With It ! Let them Stress Out. Plus I Don’t Have To Deal With Them ! Like the Song Says "In every life we have some trouble – But when you worry you make it double – Don’t worry, be happy – Don’t worry ,be happy now " Life can be Stressful enough so Don’t Stress Over the Unimportant and Immaterial things. It’s Their Loss Anyway !

For me, it’s petting a cat and reading a book.

Aunty, Love the one you’re with…Walt.
