I must confess...I prefer the truth. My m...Uh oh. I must confess...I prefer the truth. My motto is "if you don't want to know how I feel, don't ask me". I will put it as kindly as I can but I will tell you. I grew up in a house where everyone was criticized for just about everything. Nothing was right, ever. I was trained well but managed to overcome and file down the rough edges of my personality, but a lot of the criticizing seeds lie dormant, waiting for the right waterer for them to burst open. When a PR (parade rainer) tells you they don't like something and you do, try and learn to see the humor in it. If someone told me they didn't like someplace because everything tasted like dirt, I would probably say something like "That only happens when the food is extra fresh" or "oh, next time maybe stay away from the snails, dear". Laugh at them, openly or internally. You certainly can't change how they are about raining or telling the hard truth, but you can change the way you look at it and react to it. When you learn how to do that you gain a great power, and feel a hell of a lot better about things. Choose to look at these poor rainmakers as sad people who probably aren't happy with much of anything. Or, like I wrote earlier, just make fun of them. :) Service was bad? Wow, it's always good for me and everyone else, maybe it was something you said? :) Also, depending upon how well I know the PR, my taunts can get pretty bad...like... "everything tastes like...dirt???" "didn't I hear somewhere that that's a sign of a stroke?...or a cavity? Oh darn, maybe not, I forget...oh well, ;p...and they laugh at me. I have one overly picky friend who hates everything to eat, almost literally. Every time I mention what I'm having for lunch/dinner/breakfast I hear a resounding "EUUUU, NASTY!". My response? "Nasty! Just like I LOVE it, girlfriend" :) works out just fine in the end. <br />hugs n quiches <br />KarenKaren Frazierhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=687592644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-83963101825446940712011-09-27T23:43:10.514-04:002011-09-27T23:43:10.514-04:00Tim, you are more than welcome for the laughs alon...Tim, you are more than welcome for the laughs alone!
