I’ve noticed that it’s often because snarky people have ego and self-esteem issues [you can tell that just by the things they do and say], and are addicted to putting others down so they can feel better about themselves.
However, their snarkiness and sarcasm reveal a great deal more about them, and how they see themselves, than they realize, and none of it is positive.
So, I tried to post in Nahi’s guest book this morning, and the message in the top right corner is what I got…and it would not let me post it. I can see telling me I duplicated a comment, and while I appreciated the warning, after the first warning, I should be able to post it anyway…
In my family room is an antique wicker rocking chair. It’s been in this particular spot for almost 50 years…before that, it was in my Grandparents home in Hastings…
I love this chair. It has so many wonderful memories attached to it…
My Grandfather always retired to it in the evenings, after dinner, to smoke his pipe…I always got to sit on his lap and we would play a game where I would touch his mustache, and he would try to bite (gently, of course) my finger…
Both my Grandparents died in 1980…my Grandfather was lost after my Grandmother died, and I believe on the day she died, he gave up living…
I miss them both terribly…
To this day, the chair still rocks in the evening…not every evening, but every once in a while…and it doesn’t rock as though there is someone sitting in it rocking…but, very gently…softly…as though someone has just gotten up from it…
The first time I saw it, it scared the hell out of me…but, I soon realized nothing was going to hurt me.
Now, I simply find comfort in it…and sometimes, if I close my eyes, I can still smell his pipe tobacco….
For some strange reason I started watching Jaws last night…I mean, it’s not like I haven’t seen the movie a dozen times…I guess I was just in a weird mood…
After it was over, I decided to do a bit of Googling, and learned something pretty astonishing…Most sharks live 20 to 30 years in the wild, but some species can live far longer. At the extreme end of the longevity scale are Greenland sharks, which can live at least 270 years, making them the longest-lived vertebrates (backboned animals) in existence!
