Yes ....I refuse to keep my mouth shut and just pretend everything is fine in any  situation , when it's not . I know my life would be easier ( both professional and social ) if I could just pretend to not have a problem with the jerks of the world for the sake of making everyone else comfortable and keeping peace . But I can't and won't pretend I don't have a problem with someone when I do. I don't do "fake"just for the sake of keeping peace. I won't compromise on that.

Hi Zack,

I don't know if I could specify one thing...but sometimes I just know that here, whatever it may be, I am willing to go to the wall.

Currently it is the lunch program for seniors, where I carry a full plate to my friend who has congestive heart failure. Two of the women, however, see me do this and are very angry to see a woman (me) serving a man. They want him to get his own meal; they have yelled at me, and even tried to block me.

In one way I understand because they came out of terrible abusive marriages....but I know my friend has trouble breathing, and he may not live very long - and my kindness gesture feels good to him.

So I take my friend his meal, against the wishes of the two unhappy women.

Solitude.

John D. McDonald once wrote that "a boor is somebody who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company." I value my alone time and give it up reluctantly.

Quality. Whether it's the healthcare I receive, the pillow that I sleep on, the vacuum cleaner I use or the food that I eat. I've found that good quality items last longer and are more pleasurable to use and good quality services result in more personal satisfaction. I don't equate cost with quality either.

Well, as some one once said, I don't suffer fools gladly.  Other than that I am petty much a live and let live sort.
