Monyk. How often do you hear someone say I made some beer last night? Bought one of those barrel brewing kits for the mr a few years ago. Let’s just say it was supreme waste of yeast & time.
Hot tea break. Soon will order the hoagie/pizza for just me & middle DS to nosh on while waiting for the ghouls to arrive. So far, so good on weather but it’s looking threatening. We have large trees in front yard, set up my goodies under them so they may survive a sprinkle or two. Admittedly Such a big kid when it comes to today lol.
Mac wisely laid down that law when creating this thread, it’s a safe zone. The written word in message forums can easily be interpreted, better to avoid the subject entirely here. At times the Universal vs Disney debate can get as heated, if not more so! Have noticed more than a few people have developed a rather unhealthy attachment/identify myopically with a theme park; to the point where it can almost define them. Quite an odd phenom!
I was a political party committee woman for decades and still work the polls. I enjoy responding to the call to help register folks in voter drives, which (in our neck of the woods anyway) are not party affiliated. I’m thrilled to see all take advantage of their right to vote, no matter what party affiliation selected. My motto has always been: if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain
. Well, not too loudly lol
To each their own, but it makes me sad and a a bit puzzled when people state they don’t want to discuss politics or religion with their good friends. Notice I did’t say co-workers or casual acquaintances. Healthy discussions on hot topic subjects (not debates) are engaging and interesting to me, others shrink from it. I find it interesting to hear other people’s outlooks, but still generally stick to my own convictions.
Unfortunately, the country has become increasingly decisive, especially since the last general election. Politics can be a very sore subject these days, even i tread a bit lightly. I always respect the right of others to express their opinions, but it has to be in the proper forum. There is a time & place for everything...surely, that doesn’t include work where you can’t exactly escape those pontificating. A whole other layer if they happen to be your ‘supervisors’ etc.. You may want to express your concerns to the HR department. Surely, they have a policy in place to govern that, good luck.
