(21,046 posts)I ask the checkers at wallyworld how they are, and make sympathetic noises about how hard they work, and try to make them laugh. And we don't have any choices in shopping.
I do not engage people in actual conversation anymore. There are too many angry people who believe everything Fox News tells them. And they don't understand anything. They are busy scapegoating whoever they think is causing all the problems--blacks, illegal immigrants, foreigners, liberals. They think the President will take away their guns, or the poor people will leave the cities and steal everything in the country. I can't tell them anything. They are dogmatic and ignorant. They call people socialists and communists and don't know what the definition of those words are.
I pet my cats, study Spanish and do gardening. It's been cold and rainy. Spring has come but we also have cold weather and rain alternating with 87 degrees and sunny.
