    I think this is bad advice. Of course is good to win all your battles if you must battle, but sometimes you just have to do the right thing without guaranteed success and even if you lose. A clean conscience is more important to me

    Be a listener. Learn whether or not you are engaging someone you want to go forward with in life as a friend, colleague or romantic partner. If they are not desireable for your life, simply do not engage again. Don't get caught up in drama.

    OT for a second to the Enterns: the notification of a direct reply from another poster to me via my E-mail isn't working anymore.

    "Choose your battles" was the best piece of advice I received as a young parent. I followed it and paid attention to what was REALLY important and what was just life. It was immensely helpful.

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
    also
    Learn to forgive yourself - everyone makes mistakes.

    My late mother told me when I was 10 (65 years ago): "Never, ever vote Republican and never, ever trust ----!" Words to live by.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ha, my mother said just the opposite: Never vote for a Democrat.

    Never turn down a hot beef sandwich.

    Also, horizontal stripes do make a husky woman look like a pregnant bee.

  21. The only way to make money in Las Vegas is to: Stay Out of the Casinos!

    Sometimes you have to smack a client upside the head with the truth in order to get their attention.

    Never, ever help friends or family with real estate. If it goes well, they take the credit; if it goes slightly bad, it's all your fault.

    If you always tell the truth, you never have to remember the lie.

    Don't believe a word about your own publicity!

    If a client isn't qualified to buy, tell them and move on. You will waste time and effort trying to help them qualify.

    If a Seller demands a price way too high for the market, they are not a serious Seller.

    Remember every person was once a tiny baby just needing love and protection.

    It seems like a simple idea, but when you look at people as just another baby like yourself, it helps give perspective.

    With regards to raising children: pay now or pay later. Do the work (discipline) when they're little, and spare everyone the anguish when they're older.

    God gave us two ears and one tongue so that we could listen twice as often as we speak.

  30. Girl, you are self-absorbed to the extreme. It's unhealthy. Here is some advice someone should've given you a long time ago: the whole world doesn't revolve around you and your issues. Get over yourself and you'll find happiness

    A non-regular troll (or at least a rarely seen one) commenting on my ramblings? Or do you only come around when certain blinds about certain people are posted. Not today.

  33. Scandi Sanskrit11:56 AM

    I never thought a seller could be considered "not serious"? Like, they really don't want to let go of the property subconsciously or something?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I happen to have a very busy life to spend too much time on gossip sites, you wouldn't understand the concept
    And calling people rude names like troll only makes you look small
    I just read your ramblings (very apt description) in a public forum and thought to myself "this girl is delusional". Does she really think anyone cares about her little precious snowflake issues? My advice was meant to help, seems like you're not capable of looking at yourself objectively so nevermind

    ReplyDelete
  35. Scandi Sanskrit12:53 PM

    Awww... If you're so "busy", then why do you even keep coming here at all? Do you have vested interest too, or do you just care really that much about the lives of people who have nothing to do with you whatsoever? Now who's the "delusional" one?

    I am a physician and am very busy. This website and Dlisted are my lunch break distractions. I do have to be very focused on my work so half an hour of idle gossip and guessing blind items is my way to relax and breathe. Normally I just read and rarely comment but your postings shocked me with their lack of self-awareness. I hope this answers your questions

  43. & also when i was a young girl my great grand mother told me:
    one day you will become a mother, and when you do, never listen to anybody, just always trust your own instinct when it comes to your children - she was spot on
