I keep promises. Many people do not know what I mean as a promise. I like people but I don't need their company or presence. I don't enjoy social gatherings and tend to avoid groups larger than 5 or 6 unless the group is emotionally important to me (wedding, celebrations, funerals, graduations). People who arrive late, postpone or don't turn up without good reason (obviously in my opinion) are dropped from my social circle.

Because we now live in a surveillance state, I am reducing my participation in All aspects of the internet. No company that currently exists can be trusted at all, and they are all going to get even worse very soon. I re-subscribed for another year recently. I am very fond of you and wish love light health peace prosperity warmth and strength to all. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’šโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธโ˜˜๏ธ

Steve, we all have to navigate this new world order the best way we can. Protect your peace by any means necessary. I thank you for your participation and support. But please trust that I understand the urge (and need) to unplug. Pop in and out anytime, dear one!

Interesting take on parts of the country differences. I wonder where the Midwest would fall. One of my experiences in Mexico is that to refuse an invitation is rude, so you accept, and then just don't show up or follow through or cancel last minute! Now to me, that is RUDE! Fondly, Michael

Based on my limited experience, most Midwesterners are similar to my Texans in their ability to plan and stick to the plan. Like you, I experienced lots of well-meaning folks when Iโ€™ve visited Mexicoโ€ฆand ended up doing most things on my own. :-p Cheers!

Well Clint, I'm part of the go with the flow mentality, BUT, I'm always on time (irritating to some๐Ÿ˜ฒ) and I expect that in others, sorta mixed messages I guess ๐Ÿ˜Ž but hey ho. Cheers DougT ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
