Malaise, this is for you!

[lonestarnot]

I wish I had taken my camera to the local convenience store when I ran to get cigs and a newspaper just now. I went into the store, picked up the cigs and the newspaper, came back out got in the truck, the windows were up, and a small little SUV type car pulled up next to me in a very tight spot. I couldn't get out of my spot because a taxi-van had parked blocking me in, so I sat opening my smokes to light up when I noticed a Jamaican flag on the little SUV. Then, the people started getting out of the car. Apparently they had seen my Veterans for Obama sticker. The father got out first, we exchanged smiles, then three little stair step girls filed in front of my truck, smile, smilier, and smiliest. They stood there smiling as a snapshot in time, not a word was exchanged, but we knew one another!:D :hi: :grouphug: :D

1. Who does not LOVE malaise?

[Sal Minella]

6. "Who does not LOVE malaise?" Religiowackzoids who try to scream at her about jeebus when she's

minding her own business. Other than those folk, I don't know of anyone, no. :)

[malaise]

8. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

hahahhahahaha :rofl:

[Subdivisions]

12. I remember that =) n/t

[lonestarnot]

11. What happened there?

[malaise]

13. Dig up the thread - so I went to the Supermarket

I was harassed by two proselytizers outside my supermarket, ignored them when I was going in and told them to fuck off when they bothered me on the way out and the thread had over 500 responses. I'd like to think it was a slow Saturday but it was fall down funny. :rofl:

15. Braindamaged posted one like that here today, same scenario, grocery store.

And some people don't realize that everything one does is political! Even down to putting on one's socks! :D :hi:

[ColbertWatcher]

18. Hey malaise! Love ya!

BTW, where was that thread? I'd love to see it.

[malaise]

[ColbertWatcher]

23. Huh, I must have missed that one! Thank you for the link! n/t

[uppityperson]

24. "Proselytizing is what Christians are taught to do. It's not rude - it's Biblical"

bwahahahahaha. Guess the ts was earned.

[Pastiche423]

27. Having just read that thread that I missed the 1st go round...

I name you, Queen Malaise!

Living in a small rural town, the wisdom in that thread will help me w/the rr people :scared: living here.

They freak my ass (what little is left) out!

[malaise]

29. No titles for me

True believers in social democracy do not like titles - particularly if you live in a former colony. :D

I have a simple philosophy - polite first time - FO second time so there is no need for a third time. It works.

Anyway let's not spoil this lovely thread about the kids, their dad and Lonestarnot's Veteran's for Obama sign. :hi:

[lonestarnot]

30. Damn! That was a long thread!

I wonder where I was that day? I missed it entirely.

[malaise]

31. It was one of those rare idle summer Saturdays

and lots of people had opinions.

[Sal Minella]

26. I couldn't believe how many people said YOU were out of line for wanting to be left alone to tend

to your own errands. As though YOU had offended THEM somehow by not immediately falling on your knees and crying out "I believe! I believe!" --

Religious people are given plenty of space and leeway to practice their beliefs -- but if torturing small animals or accosting me at the supermarket (or in my own home) is "part of their religion," they've crossed the line.

[malaise]

33. It was hilarious

but let's not spoil this lovely thread with that Saturday. :D

[Sal Minella]

34. Good point. ...Sorry....I mean, I love you enough to SHUT UP now.

:)

[malaise]

9. The right wing

That's beautiful :grouphug:

[TomInTib]

2. I love you.

And I would've given anything to have been sitting in that truck with you.

Those pictures of Life happen so rarely.

I would like to think that they share themselves with the deserving few.

And you, lonestarnot, are certainly one of those few.

Tom

[malaise]

16. Isn't that the truth

:hi:

[seemslikeadream]

3. And I love you to lonestarnot

[lonestarnot]

20. likewise and what a wonderful pic!

:hug:

[Fovea]

4. Thank you

I was in the city market yesterday, and there was a new group of homeless, about 15 or so in the park by the market looking like a tiny bonus army.

They were not polite.
They were, in fact, rather angry.

That was my vision of the future all yesterday.
Yours informs my day today.

PS, if your convenience store is local enough, consider riding a bicycle to it. You won't get parked in, and you will experience less guilt when smoking that cigarette on the way home.

The Obama stickers on my bike and helmet seem to get a lot of positive feedback.
Of course, negative feedback from drivers might be real negative around here.
My town is ranked last in the nation for bikability.

[lonestarnot]

21. Yeah, I will do that (the bike), just had alot to do today.

A tiny bonus army. Poor things. I may join them soon. :)
