the news to their daily life? I have very little patience for anything these days. Each day is another layer of outrages and lies.
I have never had much patience anyway. Suffering these fools and the drip, drip, drip of proof of what we already know happened is just agonizing.
Just me venting. Feel free to join in.

(115,686 posts)in the last couple of days a minor hassle has upset me much more than it should, and it occurred to me that I'm way more stressed out than usual. I'm normally calm but lately I'm pretty wound up. The bullshit is getting to me.

(63,221 posts)Lately, I have been noticing my fuse growing shorter. Especially with people that I know to be republicans, even though we have agreed not to discuss politics while in each other's company.

I went to my brother's house on a beautiful lake and while I enjoyed the fireworks, the friendly people and especially the food, I had to sit there for a few minutes and think "WTF is wrong with these people? They act like we are living in nirvana with their man in the WH leading us to glory. They must be living in their magic bubble where nothing bad penetrates their comfortable lives.
