That's a good one, Bonny. Yet humans have known peace, or there wouldn't be a word for it...

Bonny,

You had a very wise teacher. I totally agree with her.

[Catherinedana]

There is another word in the English language that is just as powerful as "peace" (and can actually lead to it), maybe more empowering than "tolerance" (and can point the road to tolerance) and that word is:
"WHATEVER"!

Really, people, whatever! This has helped me in many times of strife, in dealing with situations that I cannot change (and should probably not waste my energy even TRYING to change) and that goes double for facing the opinions (and you know that saying about those!) of others. Whatever. . .

And now back to our regularly scheduled program!

[Bonny]

Whatever does have a way of rolling of ones shoulders & tumbling away. I've used that word before & it works. The word peace is very technical & takes a lot of effort. I guess it depends on your situation at the time.

LOL - seriously.

"Whatever" -- normally I hate to hear people use this (especially younger people), since it conveys an "I don't give a sh1t" attitude. Just the old fashioned in me rearing it's head I suppose. We jokingly use it here at home and within the family, however, we all know it is said in a joking manner.

However, now I see where it could be used to a great advantage. See - I'm flexible and open to suggestions........ I'm really not that mean old lady that some think I am.

p I'm really not that mean old lady that some think I am.

Don't forget, essentially a recluse, a non-pursuer of dreams, living beyond your means, with nothing better to do but babysit! Really, a big "L"....

Oops - the memory is going. I forgot all of that!

And now back to our regularly scheduled program!

I am so used to watching TV on my own, I have a problem with you holding on to the remote.

You'll have to drop it sometime soon.

WHATEVER

Richard I heard Orc was going to take over Thursdays. Is that true?

[kitten645]

Behold the all mighty IGNORE feature. My list grows longer as I grow older. Some things are just too predictable.

LOL,

HE won't wash his hands before he comes in from outdoors.
Can we possibly put up with that?

[Bonny]

Richard, ROFL! That does not sound good if Orc will not wash his hands. Heaven only knows what he has been into? Just makes me shiver to think about it.
