I learned the concept of Pay It Forward a few decades ago, and it is, to me, the most worthwhile approach I have ever practiced. Having Some Boundaries is also important, but practicing that as gently as possible requires lots of repetitions. Sometimes, my best boundary is to walk away.
I’m a huge Robert Heinlein fan (Stranger in a Strange World, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress) and he was an advocate of pay it forward. I’m not as good at this as I should be, but I’m a work in progress as we all are.

I haven't read any of his stuff. Maybe I should. Paying It Forward is the bomb, though.


OM is right. I walk, no running. No bear spray, but on my person is a 9mm, a nasty folding knife and a set of knuckledusters. I'm too old to run, too old to lose, and too young to die. I don't care what they bring, because I have an answer.


Off for Round #2.
 
Thank you....and to the rest of you as well.
Tell ya @Dom70 Second strike,and I do remember the first time we spoke as well as the last time you showed disrespect to someone here. I may let it go but rest assured I won't forget. And like we discussed when we had our interaction in the past (several months ago). No reason to dm me. Whatever it is can stay in the room. Hope you enjoy your day.
 
I never heard of it till just after I got outta the army. It’s a cool concept.

Early on in my life I was a little lost and having a bad time of things. I had a boss who became a mentor for me. Now I am trying to be a mentor for the kid who leases space on my farm. He is a super kid, but struggling with life and what to do with it.
That is just so wonderful. So many kids don't gave mentors and if we want a decent society it is up to us to fill this role.

G'morning everyone
Why do I get up early? I'm retired.
But I like to eat...
I hope everyone has a great Friday
I'm going to look at a new apartment today
2 bedrooms, 2 bath, attached garage, laundry room, full kitchen, slider door to a patio on 3/4 acre lawn & HOA...
I'll let you know.
Be wary of the HOA…

But I hope you guys find a great place for you and Mrs RJ! Good luck!!
 
I am gonna work and at 2 going to salon for some self care..... trying to be a little kinder to myself.... lawn looks great... the flower beds look awful. I have called several places and no one calls back or comes.... I am not able to do right now and need help.... guess I will go and do inches at a time...... will get done eventually
Too bad you weren’t local. Mrs wonderer is a gardener and could make the flower beds look great pretty quickly.

Or she’d just send her lackey (me) to do the hard work! 😂

It may even be less work than you think. What needs to be done?

Nothing better than a day of range therapy. 🎯
Good morning all. I’ve been replying to everyone without a proper “hello”. Hope everyone has a safe day.
Boy… those are some books I have read since I was a teenager. (Also starship Troopers… “I am a 30 second bomb, 29, 28, 27…”)

Morning back to ya!!
 
*cautiously opens the door and steps in*

Is there room in here for one more? Seems like a pretty fun thread in here.
Hi, welcome on in.

I would recommend going back about 30 pages or so and read the vibe. I wouldn't say we have written rules, but good ones to stand by are

1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No casual pick up lines/inappropriate sex talk-- if you want to talk to someone about that dm them. There are 1000s of other pages on this site that are all about it

We are very protective of our thread. We welcome all in to the fold, but dont follow the "rules" and you will not be encouraged to remain.
