I certainly hear you on all that @Cocosurviving ...

Often I pfeel as if I'm betraying myself (& my experience) by providing those stock answers instead of saying how I really pfeel.

"Above The Dirt" has become my latest usual response ... Still pfeels like a bit of a betrayal though.

This one cashier at the grocery store (I go at 6:00 a.m. to avoid crowds) carps and moans about all the crap she's dealing with as she's ringing me up. It's obvious the amount of pain I'm in as well as my struggles (mobility cart / two canes / difficulty ambulating) but on & on she goes ...

Sometimes I want to tell her to STFU and to just be thankful that she's still able-bodied & able to work!

Then I think well hell maybe we're all simply doing the best we can with what we've got ...

It sure as hell can be absolutely pfrustrating as hell sometimes though!
