Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

[BonesMS]

Still resting and recuperating from an out-of-town trip I took yesterday as part of a CERT activity.  We traveled to a military base which was about an hour to an hour-and-a-half away by chartered bus.  We were informed, ahead of time, that this military base would require FULL ID in order to pass security clearance.  (Can we say anti-terrorist measures and Homeland Security in the wake of 9/11?)

Bearing that in mind, our chartered bus gets to the gate and the security guard comes on board to check our IDs.  One IDIOT starts to whip out their camera and the head of our group ordered the IDIOT to PUT IT AWAY!!!  The IDIOT's response?  "But.....I WANT TO PUT THIS ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE!"  The rest of us were forced to EXPLAIN THE OBVIOUS that THIS is a MILITARY BASE and pictures of security personnel and the front gate ARE NOT PERMITTED!  The IDIOT got all sulky because they got told "N-O PICTURES"!

What planet is this moron living on?!?!?!?

Looking back over yesterday's experience at the Rodeo, I realized that I really couldn't do anything useful.  My health issues prevent me from doing any heavy lifting and my balance has always been bad to the extent that I easily fall with twisted ankles.  Being diagnosed with Osteopenia along with Hypotension complicates my ability to do anything physical.  Struggling with Asperger's doesn't help any.  At the end of the day, I realized that I couldn't DO anything that was useful or worthwhile and only ended up being a waste of space...in everyone's way.  It feels like that old song from back in the 1960's...."Alone Again, Naturally".

I think you're useful just by being present, Bones.
You offer support.
You observe.

You are thoughtful about emergency scenarios and you spread information.

You are brains, not just brawn.

Thanks, Hops.

Right now, with the way my emotions are going, it feels like brains are insufficient.

Even the dreams, in my sleep, remind me that I am always alone in a crowd of people.

Stumbled across this old column while looking for today's advice columns:

"Sue" and her mother are a total trip!

Spotted this in today's Dear Abby:                         

DEAR ABBY: My father, who is happily married to his third wife, recently came across some photos of his first wedding to my mother in 1961. Apparently, the walk down memory lane didn't stop there for him. He asked his wife, who evidently agreed, if he could have a party to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this event.

I am appalled and kind of nauseated by the thought. Do you think I'm overreacting? I have considered refusing the invitation. Should I just suck it up, or tell my father I think the idea is narcissistic, insensitive and foolish? -- SICK TO MY STOMACH

DEAR SICK TO MY STOMACH: Your question is a first. Why your father would consider throwing a golden anniversary party to celebrate a marriage that turned to lead and "sank" is mystifying. Equally so is his current wife's willingness to go along with it.

While you and I might consider his idea to be ill-conceived, resist the urge to indulge in name-calling. Let him hear from others that the idea is narcissistic, insensitive and foolish. And, by the way, you are not obligated to accept every invitation you receive.

Making a change from one bank to another is SCARY since the only account(s) I've dealt with had been with one financial institution since 1966.

The boastful letter sounds Narcissistic!!!!

Not sure what to say.

Well Bones, I've known some who deserve it and have received it and some part of me did a dance because justice sometimes seems to occur. But that was a long time ago when I cared much more about much less. I doubt I can dance any more with such .... schadenfreude.

I probably couldn't do that kind of dance much anymore either.  My joints go snap, crackle, and pop too much!
