What happened??? When did recycling become more important than helping each other out? What happened to feeding the hungry donating to the poor and just manners toward each other in general?

We were talking about cheating. Would you cheat if you knew that you would never get caught?

The answer is always no he says and at first I thought he was full of shit. Now, I think he was correct, the answer is always no.

No, I don’t feel loved in this place
No, you do not make an effort to make me feel loved and important
No, this life is about nothing more than you and your needs
No, you do not desire me in a fashion that I need
No, I am not a priority in your life
No, you do not know what love is nor how to express it
No, I don’t think this is enough for me
No, I don’t see this moving forward
No, what we have is not space between us, it is 2 separate lives going in 2 directions
No, I do not think I will be here much longer…..
Yes, you are correct the answer does appear to be always no.

I am trying to understand what is about this time of year that changes people.

I continue to watch the TV perusing for any sign of a drug that we can take to help us. You know the ones…. The drugs that have 45 side effects including damaging your liver, but your toenails will no longer be yellow? So where is my cure for this????

Ok you are asking what it is I am talking about, right? Well I am referring to hormonal imbalance that seems to strike us all this time of year, turning us into crabby, impatient people that no longer drive anywhere without laying on our horn at some poor unsuspecting driver…

Case in point: The other day while turning off of 76th street I decide to wait and let the poor guy who has been attempting to make a left hand turn, for what I estimate to be days, go. I stop and wave him on, only to have the red neck wannabe behind me begin to lay on his horn one mile back and continue all the way up until he nearly drives into my trunk with his beat up, powder blue pick up, with the horn blaring the entire time. Yes Jethro, I know you are there AND I know the light is green.….. BACK OFF…..

It is happening to me too… I find myself exceptionally happy only when the SUV that dove by me at 800 mph, nearly running me off the road, is now stuck in the ditch 10 miles up …. I find myself thinking “It’s called Karma asshole..” not my kindest thoughts…

So, what is it that turns us from the helpful first snowfall citizens to the “eat or be eaten” survivalist towards the end of the winter? Could it be the fact that it seems to have snowed everyday for the last three months with the exception of 2? Maybe it is the primitive roads we now drive on. Each day feels as though you are driving a course weaving back and forth trying to avoid that hole that is the same size as you car. I mean really, it is bad and in some spots if I hit the hole just right, my entire Honda Civic will be lost until spring.

Maybe it is the temperature that has had bigger swings than I do in a bad month. It has been all the way from 60 degrees above to 30 below with the wind chill… I get cold just thinking of going out….

I think the lack of patience hits everyone but I think this year has been harder than others…

In the meantime I will continue to count the days until spring
Thank god for days the sun shines and days the pavement is dry.

Oh yeh, and I hope Jethro gets his……
