Talk Me Down

[Liberalynn]

I have just come from aruguing with Tea Baggers on the local news station bulletin board feeding me crap about they have been protesting for the past eight years, and its not about Bush verses Obama, and its not anti-Obama racism, and in the next sentence they use "Acorn" workers.

I truly hate these racist ignorant people with everything that I am, and I know that is wrong, because you are not supposed to hate, but I can't help it. I also know it is pointless to keep
:banghead::banghead: but I hate to let bullshit like that go unchallenged. I kept quiet for far too long.

But my heart is racing and I can't catch my breath so I need to be helped out here. Please somebody tell me something to help calm me down.

I know I am proably letting it get to me far too much.I even scared the dog who left for the other room.

Please I need a hug or something.

1. Engage in one of life's simple pleasures

that is uniquely yours and just enjoy it. For me, it's a good cup of Starbucks Columbian coffee that I make just the way I like it.

Don't let ignorant people steal your peace and joy.

By-the-way, I know how you feel. I have to pull back sometimes because I get way too upset for my own good.

2. Yeah I think the line for me was when the dog got up and ran out of the room

When I kicked the computer cabinet. Thank you for the suggestion to about doing something just for me. I think I will go make some herbal tea and read a book. :hug:

[ohheckyeah]

3. I feel for you.

I have a couple of right wingers in my family and sometimes in spite of the fact that I love them, I damn sure don't like them.

What's one of your favorite little pleasures in life?

[Liberalynn]

6. I have a few right wingers in my family too.

I just don't talk politics with them if I can avoid it.

My life pleasures are spending time with my cats, my dog, creative writing, and reading. They are kind of corny but I love reading paranormal romances like Nora Roberts and Heather Graham.

[ohheckyeah]

9. Nora Roberts books

have "talked me down" many a time. She's the best. Have you read the Irish trilogy, Jewels of the Sun, Tears of the Moon, and Heart of the Sea? It's my all time favorite and I read it every couple of years.

I love her JD Robb Death Series as well.

Corny is good for relaxing to. :-)

10. Yes I loved the Irish Trilogy.

Eve and Roarke are welcome in my hnme anytime too. I know Julian Mcmahon is Austrailian and not Irish but in my mind, I picture him as Roarke.

[ohheckyeah]

12. Not bad

I've never seen him before I don't think.

[Liberalynn]

14. He was on the Profiler, Charmed, and Nip/Tuck

Here is a pic of him.

4. Take a deep breath.....take your dog for a walk.

I told my sister last week that...."You can't reconcile stupidity with common sense"!

The teabaggers will be the first to cry out when their roads fall apart, their Emergency rooms are closed, the parks and lakes get closed.

Face it they are not worth your time or your health.

7. Thank you!

:hug:

That's what I was trying to understand is why they didn't have a problem with Bush spending trillions in a foreign country's civil war, and they do have a problem with money being spent on our country on our own citizens?

They all started to claim it wasn't about blaming Obama. Yeah right.

But you are right, they aren't worth it.

5. Local news bulletin boards are troll havens. I stay away from them.

My local paper's online edition is unreadable thanks to the forums.

[Liberalynn]

8. I will have to take that very good advice from now on.

:hug:

11. Thank you all who responded.

I think I am going to go get a snack now and then go to bed. You all truly helped.

[ohheckyeah]

13. Sleep well.
