Try to be thankful for everyday I wake up with a roof over my head, hot coffee in the pot, lights, food and such. Just have gratitude, and give thanks. Works much better than venting and just concentrating on the negative. There is SO MUCH positive in our lives to give thanks for.Smile Having an opinion on subjects is fine, both good and bad, but, when looking at your life, just try to look at the good.

I agree with being thankful for what we have; however, IMO, there's nothing wrong with a venting thread. As someone said on the original JJ vent thread on Saturday, some people don't have anyone to vent to. I don't see the harm.

I also happened to see your original post before you edited it and it started out as "I do not vent"..., yet you have a thread about your unhappiness of the Muppets. I don't understand the difference as that appears to be venting IMO.

I do not think it is against the rules to EDIT MY thoughts and put them more clearly, I decided to say instead that I try not to vent about my life and look at the good. To say I do not vent was incorrect SO I EDITED THAT INCORRECT statement. I am not unhappy about the MUPPETS... they do not make me happy or unhappy{#emotions_dlg.confused1} I just do not find them useful in my life today. I do not want to see them period. As a child perhaps...but not as an adult. You seem to put your thoughts into what I say? Turn things around... Again, I said to give your opinion of subjects good or bad is fine.... I just do not vent about the bad things in my God given life. I try to see the good IN MY LIFE. What other people do or want to dwell on it their business.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm annoyed that the sob sister sympathy seekers don't post on Among Friends instead of bringing their woe to Viewpoints.

I'd like to vent about people who have absolutely no self-awareness and then proceed to lecture others.

The time change. I am not adjusting well.


Me either. Just as I was getting some much needed light in the morning we're plunged back into darkness.

Oh, come folks!

We all, or most of us anyway, have big issues to deal with. A tongue in cheek vent once in a while for the petty annoyances is a fun good thing. Learn to laugh a bit folks.
