I really understand the need to get #^!( out of our minds...I do it regularly...but really folks...do we have to go on and on with this stupid bickering just to get our feelings out?
I am really $*(@()% tired of it...and yes, I check in on the message board and write a lot...and I do have my issues with some things going on...but c'mon...give us a break with things that can be dealt with in a better way...remember how we used to talk to each other and work things out??????????????
It's the end of the season for me in 10 days. Just really wanted to finish what I started. The funding needed to be accounted for. Apparently the committee member and the one who retired have plans of their own, that they didn't let the other 2 committee members know about. So now that the retired member has let me in on the big secret, I have a clearer understanding of what was going on behind my back. What a fiasco this has been and I can honestly say that I have spayed 51 dogs and cats helped by a return trip from Valerie and 2 return trips by David Strand. Lauren has been a huge asset and I will definitely work with her again. Our relationship with the Mexicans has been delightful, great rapport with Pro Animal Melaque and Beto, the Veterinarian. We have had a huge success. Lisa and Jeanne will carry on with the remaining 20 spays and neuters
I agree & have noticed the different jumpy mood this year. Two distinct theories come to mind. 1) it began as a hard work rebuilding year - post Hurricane, and everyones' spirits are exhausted. 2) being an election year ( or 2 years as the case may be) everyone is as mean spirited and argumentative as the U.S. Politicians. It is a process that really pits people against each other over a long period of time.
Number one in my case. I'm not an American, but I follow politics avidly. I've been listening to Bernie Sanders for many years and he is the one person who can bring America back for everyone.
I received more phone messages on this post than MB replies....interesting!
Thanks for all the responses from both mediums.
But I need to back it up a notch....I am not counting the days til folks leave! I am counting the days where the "noise" factor lessens...and the incessant bickering stops. The he said she said...blah blah blah...enough already! There is far to much of that type of noise pollution in the world ...yes, American politics included.
Perhaps we can all take a small break from it and just enjoy the quiet companionship of each other, our host country, and this small pueblo...maybe?
