Peter hasn’t been up since Tuesday. It was extremely windy Wednesday, and it snowed some yesterday. So he’s hoping to come up Monday if the weather cooperates.
When Andy couldn’t start this project until September, I predicted they wouldn’t finish it until next Spring. I don’t understand people who always want to be right. As a cheerful pessimist, I would love to be proved wrong.
I too love to say “I told you so”!
But I don’t want to say, “I told you so.” I would rather be wrong and not have to wait until next spring.
Hi Jean,
Ooh, you have snow. White Christmas for you then!
Yes, we do have snow. And plenty of cold! It’s not supposed to get above freezing until next Wednesday, with lows 4°F (-15.5°C) Monday and Tuesday.
I tried to be optomistic about this storm, but we got ice and we lost power. We have electricity from the motorhome generator for kitchen and bathroom lights and a few outlets, with extension cords to other things. Fire in fireplace insert and power to space heaters is keeping us toasty. I may be an optimist, but I’m also prepared — at least for this.
Good for you for planning ahead!
are you like my father then? “i may not always be right but i’m never wrong.” LOLOL.
oddly enough he really was seldom wrong! true!
i know some people (well. one actually. a friend) who has to be right to the point that she will literally look something up while talking with you just to be able to PROVE she’s right about whatever the subject in question is! sheesh!!! it’s really a little rude.
i used to say “sorry. you wasted your time there. i don’t even care that much!” and laugh. and sometimes it’s on the most minor things. the name of an actor or such!
. . . at which point she was not pleased with me. she would get chilly in her voice.
i think she may want accolades or something for being right. LOL
so i have recently realized just to say . . . “you were totally right about that!”
it gives her much pleasure that i say that. who am i to take away that silly pleasure?
i think people like that can’t help it. they’re rather controlling people maybe.
my dad was not rude like that. but . . . i know he was totally about control!!!! 😀
well… i read that totally wrong! you’re not like my dad. if you would love to be proved wrong! i should have known my monk is not like that.
but . . . sad to say . . . i’m thinking you’re not going to be proved wrong.
just saw where there’s another BIG winter storm on its way from the west. ?
Yes, it doesn’t look very hopeful. But as usual, we’ll just have to see.
“wait and see” – “it depends” “we’ll cross that bridge when it happens” (similar to wait & see) seem to be key issues
One of my friends often says “I’m not surprised…”
As most of you know I’m a “it depends” person because usually there are a couple of different scenarios in the offering, and many of my thoughts are MY OWN which no one else would even understand/believe/etc.
I remember the “cross the bridge scenario” when my now ex-partner announced at the marriage counselling meeting “well, I’m off to Australia, you can do what you want with the business” – I came back to my sisters place and she was astounded as well…because he had insisted that he would continue to run the business, himself! We decided that we would cross that bridge if and when it happened.
Followup: he didn’t go to Australia but it was threat I didn’t need at the time, as I was quite stressed on certain matters…
2yrs later Followup: we did finally get to that bridge when he ran the business into the ground and I had to pick up all the pieces; somehow I managed…but it wasn’t easy!!
DANG!!!! it would have been better if he’d actually GONE TO AUSTRALIA!!!
I’m with tammy! If you had to pick up the pieces it would have been better if the business was still solvent.
