I dread going out of my house because I just know ... someone will upset me ... it always happens!

There are many mean people in this world that want to make you as miserable as they are.

One solution that works great is my stereo and portable earphones I wear ... and turn up the volume ...

so I don't hear the voluminous hatred coming out of all their mouths trying to make me miserable like them

I can just nod and smile and walk away ... happy

Any other suggestions?
