Hehe - I'll change my 'hate' into 'dislike' then :-)

I don't know if hate leads to suffering, but my suffering of an 8 pound charge by royal mail for their handling of an international package with 9.50 VAT imposed at the border (which I obviously also have to pay) is causing a great deal of anger.

This being said the company I bought from offers vouchers to encourage trade with the EU, and they even covered the royal mail fee, which is pretty awesome.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

I hate how dangerous hormones are.

I hate that my doctor is such a sweet man because it means I would feel guilty if I tried to pull a fast one on him.

I hate that my body is doing weird things and may make it so that I cannot continue on hormones.

Living in a non-EU country in the mittle of Europe, I feel your pain. They charge 22.50 CHF + tax here for every package that has a value of more than 65CHF. If it's over 200 Fr value, they charge 35 + tax. I love it :-(

the police and card company are the people you want to contact. The card company will normally need a police report before they reimburse you (they should -- cards are insured).

Thanks everyone, we have been on the phone most of the morning, including the police. Thankfully it wasn't a big charge and my husband caught it right away. Microsoft stopped everything on their end and were very helpful.

my only rant in this moment is about ranters critizing ranters for ranting via a vechicle created for ranting

i feel sarcasm in my being. i don't like that feeling.

so i can't just rant for rants sake, myself.

I have to look at my own mind in my own rant,
be still allow

what do I learn

ah ... . . that I desire to do the same for others as they rant . . . be still . . .allow unconditionally
to have their expressions

what else do I learn

i am to learn to listen
and listen to learn

that is a full circle within my own mind. . . thanks for space

That happens in Suisse too ??? :huh:

Has it got to that part where you plan what to talk about at the next meeting yet ?

Or is that just on our side of the frontière ? :unsure:

Not yet, that's agenda item 9 (we're at 7...). Not kidding, unfortunately.

You should add the overly-long length of the meeting to the agenda, but I fear that will just make it longer...

Unthinking rudeness of EPIC proportions from people who swagger around with the belief that their special jedi snowflake status means something.

Thankfully I'm not on the receiving end of said rudeness but I'm disgusted by it none the less.



Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me
